Test Your Seed Corn.

Count a number of grains, put
them into a box of moist earth or
sand, and place in the kitchen
where the temperature is sufficiently
high to cause termination. In a
few days it will be possible to de-
termine what per cent of the seed is
good. If a piece of cloth is folded
so as to form pocket and the
whole suspended in vessel par
tiaally full of water, with the lower
edge just touching the surface of
the water, ideal conditions are OBJ
tanned for testing seeds. For plants
which have small seeds this is more
desirable than the box of earth.
All farm seed ought to be tested.
It takes but little time and effort
and may avoid much loss.-Ex.

The Joke ExeCutiOncr,

: One Of New York's comic weeklies

its staff whose duty it is to see that 10
old jokes are accepted. He has re-
markable memory. and nearly every
week he kills something which has
passed muster with the younger editors.
lie knows the files Of his paper thor
oughly, and not infrequently when Il
stolen sketch or an old joke is submit
ted he can nalre the month and year
when it was first printed. Long years
of mirth killing have left their mark in
the deep burrows that line his face. 1t
has made him suspicious of every one
and particularly of writers of jokes and
comic artists. This man has passed his
whole life i'll New York. employed at
the unending task Of exposing fakirs.
He said to "a friend not long ago that old
jokes haunted his sleep and made life

Although the burying ground at the
Boylston street end of the Common is
not the most ancient in town, nor
specially noted for the resting place Of

the South Burying ground. as indica-

Listen how the whippoorwill,
From his song bed ve,l-i and dusky,
Fills the night ways warm and musky
With his music's throb and thrill.
'Tis the western nightingale,
Lodged within the orchards pale,
Starting into sudden tune
Mid the amorors air of June.
Lord OF all the songs of night,
Bird unseen, OF voice outright,
Buried in the sumptcous gloom
OF his shadow paneled room,
Rooted above by webbcd and woven
Leaf and bloom, by moonbeams cloven,
Searched by odorous zephyrs through.
Dim with dusk and damp with dew.
He 1t is that makes the night
An enchantment and delight,
Opening his entrancinc tails
Where the evening robins fail,
Ending the victorious strain
When the robins sing again.

WRECKED BY AN EARTHQUAKE.-A

WRECKED BY AN EARTHQUAKE.-A
dispatch from Yokohama, says; Much
alarm is felt here over meager report
of q great earthquake which occurred
in the northeast provinces and main
island of Japan on Monday evening.
The town OF Rokugo has been entirely
destroyed and several other towns Sc
verely damaged. Many persons are
reported to have been killed by the
earthquake, and still larger number
injured, while multitude have suffer-
ed severe losses by damage to property.
The provinces visited by the earth
quake are the same as those devastated
by the terrible earthquake and tidal
wave of June Is last, when a large
number of towns were wiped out and
the estimated loss of life was 10000.
The provinces of Rekuzen and Rikuchu,
along the coast from the Island of Kim
kasan northward, were the principal
sufferers then. The recollection of the
havoc to human life wrought by that
CONFUSION causes grave anxiety as to
what further reports may show of the
results of Mondays earthquake. On
the same day typhoon caused extern
sive damage in southern Japan.

But he said reason must return, and he
appealed from democracy drunk to
democracy SOBER" and asked the con-
vention to again "unfurl the flag never
vet soiIed by reputation or stained
with dishonor. While democracy
lasts" he said at the climax of bis
speech, "the republic will last, and
while the republic human liberty"
The convention adopted recon-
mendation to make the Organization
permanent, and to empower the ma
tional committee appointed to call To-
ture conventions.

Mr.. BRYAN'S GREETINGS

Another vast audience, unprecedented
in political campaigns, heard William
J. Bryan deliver speech in the High
School Square, in Toledo, Ohio, last
night.
The concourse at Columbus Tuesday
night was the largest Mr.. Bryan ever
addressed. Last nights throng was
Columbus over again. Thousands up
on thousands of people were gathered
in the square and as the democratic
candidate said in his speech, they
were measured by the acre rather than
numbered by the head"
The people in the vast assemblage
were at all times enthusiastic and oc-
casionally wildly so. Once there was q
suggestion of panic through the frantic
efforts of those in front Of the tempo
rary stand, from which the candidate
delivered his address, to escape from
the terrible crush, and Mr.. Bryan was
obliged to suspend his speech and beg
that the crowding cease. The speaker e
stand gave away with crash, carrying
score OF people with it. Nobody was
burt, but the widest excitement reign
ed for few minutes. Mrs. Bryan
barely managed to save herselffrom be-
ing precipitatated into the hole through
which those near her fell.
Estimates of the size of the audience
ranged from 10000 to 10000. After the
open meeting Mr.. Bryan addressed
more than 1000 persons who were
packed like sardines in Memorial Hall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan reached Toledo
at $50 and were greeted with enormous
crowds at the railway station, and at
the Body House, where they are stop
ping. The candidate was escorted to
the high school square by several brass
bands and torchlight procession.
Mr.. Bryan met with fattering recep-
tons at all the towns through which he
passed.
HUDSON, Mich, Sept. 8. -William J..
Bryan made his first sally into Michi-
gan to-day in continuation Of his west
ward journey. At Bliss6eld, 500 en-
thusiastic people gathered to welcome
him. Adrian, with a quota of l,5OO
