A stranger visiting the island of Cor
fu, writes a correspondent, cannot but
be struck with the evidence OF what the
country must have been before 1863,
when it was presented, with the other
islands of the group, to King George on
his advent to the throne. The very
verdure with which it is clad-that is
to say, the olive trees-were planted by
the English. Now, where a tree dies,
its place is not filled, but there remains
a gap. On the hillsides those gaps are
growing larger and more numerous
every year.. The condition on the
streets of the capital is bad enough;
that of the smaller towns and Of the vii
lagos is worse. The roads are neglect
cd, and SO fullof holes that the pleasure
of a drive in the country is sadly married
by the formidable jolting. AS for the
old and new forts of Corfu, which were
real strongholds when the English pos
sessed the land, they have been allowed
to go to ruin, SO that they are now
absolutely worthless as a means of de-

Are literary men more prone to in
sanity than others? DR.. Toulouse, the
celebrated Paris alienist, answered this
question after the suicide of Hippolyte
Raymonds, the French writer of COM
edy. Mental disorders among men OF
letters" says Mr.. Toulouse, always APP
peal more forcibly to the Imagination
than ordinary of insanity. But
we must not conclude that madness
IS more frequent among them than in
any other walks of life. The English
nave q saying that great geniuses are
all madmen, but it would be going too
lar to assert that a man goes insane
because he becomes a passionate fol-
lower of art or literature. There is
no special form of insanity which at
tacks artists or writer's, but the celeb
rlty which the successful ones achieve
tasclnates a great many men who have
talent, but who also have abnormally
emotional t~emperaments.
The active brain work, the feverish
lmpatience with which they seek to
gain fame, and often the privations
that they endure-all these favor the
development of the germs of madness
which lie dormant in many brains, and
which would never have made them
selves manifest if these persons had
adopted a calm and more vegetative
mode of existence. 1t is my opinion
that the life led by most artists and
writer's is of a sort that is especially
favorable to the bringing out in full
force of any tendencies to insanity
which may exist in embryo in the brain.
The slightest thing may then unbalance
the mind, and it is that which too often
happens"

Music and Molars.

There is a dentist in San Francisco
who is noted for his musical tastes and
his high charges. His ordinary fee is
SIS per hour; his extraordinary fee is
unknown. Some time ago a lady was
in his chair, and the dentist was con
,ersing with her while her mouth was
filled with rubber uams and things.
Carried away by his enthusiasm while
talking of a certain song. he offered to
sing it for her. Taking an inarticulate,
rubber-intercepted sound for an af-
irmative, he skipped lightly to the
piano, which stood in one corner of
the operating-room. There he toyed
with Polyhymnia, the muse of music,
doubtless much to his satisfaction. and.

SUING A DBMrJOHN.

A peculiar breach OF promise suit has
been brought in England. A maiden APP
peals to the court for damages, now that
a certain innkeeper refuses to take her
in marriage after encouraging her to
hope. 1t is proved that he had the de
lirium tremens in her house several
times. She gets a verdict Of ten pounds.
Why any wants to marry the
delirium tremens w know not. She
deserved congratulation at escape from
such a man, instead of ten pounds for
the loss Of him. No woman can afford
to take a man If she has to have dellr-
ium tremens thrown into the bargain.
A mar is very we'll, but better no man at
all than such AN accompaniment. Let
women be cautious how they marry men
with highly spiced breath, the spice put
in to hide the whiskey odor. Better pay
ten pounds to get rid of him than sue
him for ten pounds because he does not
marry you. If a man makes for himself
unhappy connubial relation, he may run
away and 80 get rid Of it; but for a
man wrongly afianced there is no escape.
The young mar may have glossy hair
and bright ewes and immaculate broad
cloth: but if he drinks, even moderately,
make up your mind that before thirty
five he will do one of two things-either
stop drinking entirely or else go to perdi-
ton, and if he does the latter he will prob
ably take you along with him~.-Christian

A breeder says that 1t Is not healthy
to confine swine too much, and that q
lack OF exercise prevents a proper de-
velopment Of the body, making 1t much
more susceptible to disease than when
the animal Is given wide range and
a variety Of food. A great deal Of late
Is heard In regard to producing bacon
for the English market, and fault Ia
found with our corn-fed hogs because
they are usually too fat. 1t Is an old
adage that "there are none so blind as
those who do not wish to see" and the
fact Is plain to those who understand
the situation that no meat we can pro-
duce would be acceptable to European
nations. The pork produced In the corn
belt Of America from hogs raised on
a clover pasture and finished on corn
Is not to be compared with that made
In Europe from all kinds Of swlll and
refuse, fed In a filthy sty. There Is not
and cannot be better or more delicious
pork produced on this globe than that
made from grass and corn when the
hogs are properly handled and this fact
taxes to the utmost the greatest Of Eu-
ropean statesmen to circumvent Its pro-
duction among their people.

A SHORT CURRENCY DIALOGUE.

Learner-Dr. Socrates, can get bet
ter watch today for $50 than I could
twenty-five years ago for 500. Is that
not because the old watch was made
by hand, while the new one is made by
machinery?
DR.. Socrates Slversnipe-By no means,
most simple youth. The true reason is
because the value Of gold has doubled
since 1873, and the value of products
has been halved.
Learner-Well my mother bought a
sewing machine twenty-five years ago
for 1925, and yesterday she bought
much better one for $50. The seller said
that since the patents had expired and
there was no royalties to pay. sewing
machines had fallen greatly in price.
! suppose that was true.
DIR. Socrates Silversnipe-By no
means. The seller had never read Coin
Harvey's works, or he would know that
the fall in the price of the product was
caused by the demonstration of silver,
and that the royalty had nothing to do
with the matter.
Learner-Well, grandpa bought pair
of nice, new boots yesterday for So.
He told me that when he was married
his boots cost him $50, and that he car
ried them in his hands to the brides
house and then put them on. He said
that the use of machinery was the cause
of the fall in the price of the product,
boots.
DR.. Socrates Silversnipe-Your grand
father has not read the works of the
wise men, Bland, Vest and Coxey and
Mary Ellen Lease, so he Is an illiterate
goldbug. 1t is really shameful that he
does not know that machinery had no
relation to the boots, but that the fall
in price was caused by the "Crime of
1873"
Learner noticed that Deacon Giles
had closed his distillery and the deacon
told me that on account of over-pro-
duction the profit on whisky was so
small that. all the distillers had agreed,
to make no more for some time. Was
he right in saying that the market was
over-stocked?
DIR. Socrates Silversnipe-No! Deacon
Giles is an ass, or he would see clearly
that the trouble is that Jones, Stewart
& Co. are not allowed to dump all their
ore into the minis.

Bryan's New Theory.
Since his advent in the Bluegrass re-

mulgated n new theory In regard to gold
He told his audience at Maysville that
SO much of the yellow metal was used
in plugging decayed molars, and in the
manufacture of engagement rings, and
for use in the arts, that after consuming
the residue for bi-chloridc of gold solu-
tions to counteract the Jag" habit, there
was none Of the metal left for money.
This Is n remarkable statement from n
man who Is continually preaching the
woes of the gold standard. Recently

was being manufactured into crosses

sheIied Corn and Ear Corn.

All the Flint varieties Of corn have
broad and shallow kernels and a large
cob In comparison with the grain. This
is especially true of the kinds with
twelve or more rows of. kernels. 1t is
almost impossible to find tweive-rowed
Flint corn that will yield half bush
ell OF grain from full bushel Of ears.
But the Dent corn being long grained
and narrow, will much overrun this
measure. We have seen some Of the
early Dent varieties with a cob so
small that when the corn was on 1t and
a paper tightly fitted over the ear the
grain when removed would fill the pa
per to the top, the loose corn In the pa
per gaining enough space, as compared
with its compactness on the ear to Off
set the bulk of the cob. The only time
when this could be done with Dent corn
was in the fall while the grain was full
OF sap. Both the grain and cob Of Dent
corn shrink a great real while drying,
and do not show as well In spring as
just after the crop is harvested.

Pun pkins as Feed for Hogs.

There is nothing better for starting
logs to fatten than cooked field pump
kins, nor is any vegetable more easily
AID cheaply grown. Breaking the
pumpkins open, and removing the seeds
before cooking them, is all the prepara-
ton required. Some ground grain, oats
or corn should be put In after the cook
ing is done, as the heat Of the pumpkins
will cook it sufficiently. In this way
sweet, tender and excellent favored
pork can be made. 1t will be much bet
ter in quality and healthfulness than
pork fattened mainly on corn.
