HORSE FOLLOWED FUNER.

\ Louisville Steed That Caused
His Mistress Deep MOrti-

"Some years ago said Alderman
James {. Gilbert to reporter, 81
had tenant down town who died,
leaving wife and helpless family.
Their ouly property consisted of an
old mare, and more to oblige them
than anything else | bought the horse.
She was gentle and my wife adopted
her for her own driving, and was
much pleased for awhile, as the old
mare was 80 gentle that my wife could
drive her about town herself.
1T seemed, however. that the mare
had once belonged to an old lady over
in New Albany who had mania on
the subject of funerals and made a
point never to miss one. The old
mares principal occupation for years
had been to follow funeral professions
10 the cemeteries. One day my wife
was driving down the street, when she
suddenly encountered negro funeral,
followed by number of societies with
all the paraphernalia of an imposing
cortege.
"The old mare recognized the pro-
cession at glance, and camly turned
into the line Of the parade. In vain
my wife tugged at the reins and tried
to turn out. The old mare knew her
business, and with head hung down
solennlv followed close behind the
mourners Occasionally they would
meet an acquaintance of ours, and they
looked with surprise at the tribute
which my wife was apparently pay
ing 10 the deceased, until my wife was
frantic with modification and anger.
AT every crossing she would APP
peal 10 bystanders TO stopthe old mare,
but they didn't seem to understand,
until at last they passed policeman,
who, in response to my wiie's fearful
appeals, stopped the old mare and
dragged her out of the procession, much
to her surprise and disgust. Of course
had a good laugh over it, but it was
no laughing matter with my wife, and
had no peace till sold that old
mare and got her out Of sight for

SHIPPING CORN MEAL TO
ENGLAND.
William Lea and Sons Company
Making an Effort To Ship
Corn Products to Eu-


The steamship Mohawk which sailed
from New York 10 Liverpool on Satur-
day. carried a. part Of her cargo Il
ton OF granula;ed white corn meal
shipped by the William Lea and Sons
Company, Of this city, to the Hon. G.
j. Murphy, who for several years has
been laboring to introduce American
corn products in Europe. The meal
shipped on Saturday will be distrib-
uted under the personal direction of
Mr.. Murphy among the twenty-tour
cooking schools connected with the
London public school system, and
among the charitable institutions of
the same city. The cooking schools
will make reports Of their work with
the meal.
Mr.. Murphy has for several years
been laboring to Introduce corn pro-
duets into various European countries.
He has given his time to the work
both rs United States commissioner
for that purpose anl as private
individual. In Germany some time
ago he succeeded in having corn meal
/
used as food for the German army.
Ii was mixed with rye flour and made
excellent bread. Whether the Ger
mans will finally adopt that as the
bread for the army, remains to he seen.
1t gave general satisfaction while used.
In England anl Scotland Mr.. Muir
ply has made successful experiments,
and is gradually making way to
introduce corn meal into Europe In
Europe the only corn product known
is corn starch, 1r as they call it, corn
flour This will not, OF course, serve
the same purpose as corn meal. The
difference between the two is one OF
the things which Europeans must
learn, what is wanted Tor food is not
corn flour, but good corn meal.
Mr.. Murphy believes that there
will some day I've great market for
corn meal in Germany. II furnishes
cheap, wholesome TODD, which is
exactly what is needed there. When
this is accomplished there will be a
market Tor the corn which America
raises and no more Of il will he burned
for fuel
The work Of Introducing corn meal
into Europe is but little more difficult
than in the northern part of the United
States. The Northern people do not
seem to appreciate like the Southern
people the value Of corn as food. In
the South it Is appreciated and is used
extensively. Northern people seem
preiudiced against corn products, but
that is gradually wearing out, and
sometime the corn products will be
staple article of food.
Coru raised in the United States is
admitted to be better than corn raised
anywhere else. For this reason, if the
markets Of Europe can be opened to
corn meal. the American article will
be able to outstrip all others in the
race for trade
Wilmingtonians have every reason
to he interested in this matter, because
much Of the corn meal which has been
used in these experiments in Europe
has been sent from this city. In the
meantime people i'll this country might
also try corn neal as food. U'H-

From several sections the reports
are that smaller areas will be devoted
to wheat and oats in the spring. No
doubt low prices will induce farmers
to limit the acreage, but those who are
shrewd and who anticipate such con.
dition will increase their acreage to
such crops in order to secure high
prices which may result from decreas-

1t is related Of well-known mer-
chant of neighboring city that, after
making his will and leaving large

was any improvements or alteration
he could suggest. well father" said
the young gentleman, lighting a cigar

Corn is said to be as low as Is cents
per bushel in some localities. 1t is
possible that next year there may be
but half crop. and the excess over
that required for consumption may
bring good prices Farmers who have
too much grain ON hand, with prices
ruling low, should endeavor to increase
the number of animals on the farm in
order to convert the corn into some
thing more salable.
