her tell of them
Il presume So remarked rather
grimly the energetic person to whom
the remark was made; but | can't
agree with you. Mary Ellen has just
about the same amount of trouble
that comes to most of us, in one way
or another, and no more, as far as L
can discover
"Oh, do you really think 500" said
the sympathizer deprecatingly.
Yes, I truly do replied the other,
firmly. The. difference is that Mary
Ellen is more fond of having funerals
than the majority of people"
More fond of having funerals"
calculated the first speaker, uncompre-
hendingly.
yes, that's what I said, and itss
just exactly what l mean reiterated
the energetic woman. Most Of us
expect and are. willing to bury at
least q, few of our woes without any
special public ceremony; but Mary
Ellen always insists upon having a
funeral for every grievance, and the
larger the number of mourners she
can gather, the better she is pleased"
Perhaps she is one of the people
who cant live without sympathy"
said the tender-hearted woman.
She had better make less frequent
demands for it. then" replied the 9TH

patience with her, I'm willing to ad-
nit, but I've attended too many fu-

There are too many people of the
Mary Ellen stamp, unfortunately. 1t
seems strange that to the end of their

ARITHMETIC IN A coRN-F1ELp.

If we plant field of maize, or In
dian corn, and watch it as it grows,
we see numerous indications of design
and adaptation at every stage of its
development. First, we observe a
| sharp pointed stem pushing downward
into the earth; second, a shap-pointed
spire pushing upward, piercing the
soil above, struggling up to the day
light, and then unfolding itself in
broad, spreading, funnel-shaped leaves,
which catch the falling rain and the
dewdrops and convey them down to
the centre of the plant The corn-stalk,
covered with a polished and impervious
surface, and filed in the interior with
soft, porous, pithy substance, is an
example of stability conjoinecl with
IShtnesS and economy Of material
From the centre shoots up a. single
spire, or stalk, crowned by tassel,
while beneath it, and outside the
branching leaves, appear the ears of
corn, from the tops of which issue a
siiken fringe in just the position to
catch the pollen, which falls from the
tassel above and renders the grain
fruitful. Beneath this silken fringe we
find the ear of corn itself, closely
wrapped in an impervious envelope of
carefully folded husks, which protect
1t from storm and depreciation while
the soft and pulpy kernels grow and
harden until they are fit to be exposed
to the air, after which the covering
dries and opens itself, that the sun
may have access to the grain and per-
feet it.
Before we remove these grains of
maize from the cob and crush them
between the milistones, let us ex-

are set in sockets, which are arranged
in straight rows from the bottom to
the top of the central cob Sometimes,
If the grain is peculiarly unthrifty,
there are but four of these rows, some
times there are eight, sometimes there
are ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen and
even twenty-four rows of kernels ar
ranged around the central shaft, or
cob. But we never see five rows, or
even seven rows, or eleven rows, or
thirteen rows On a cob. However the
number may vary, it is an even and
permanent number. II is said that a
miller declared that for twenty-seven
years, while grinding corn, he had been
looking in vain for one ear containing
an uneven number of rows of kernels.
Now, this numerical order in the ar
rangement of the rows upon countless
of ears of corn, contained in
different countries and for successive
centuries, cannot be the result of
chance, for chance does not count or
know the difference between an even
and an odd one: and there are
just as many odd numbers as there are
even, and just as many chances for an
odd number OF rows as an even num-

Whisky never misses fire. said a
man to us the other day. No, it never
does. 1t is sure to bring down it's vic
tim sooner or later, whether he be
high or low in the social or intellectual
scale. And fluttering all about him
will always be the rounded hearts of
mother, father, wife, children, sisters
brothers and friends. while beyond and
behind all this is too often a trial of
ruined virtue and communicating in
fuences. AT least six hearts on an
average carry a lifelong, overshadow-
ing dreary sorrow for every victim
alcohol brings down. The undertow of
AL family and social life is largely
silent sorrow and dreary heartache over
the victims of alcohol. No, whisky

II Is very generally caused from dietetic
errors.
In other words. during the prevalence
of LaGrippe. persons who suffer from
indigestion or stomach troubles are al
most invariably victims Of the epi-
demic.
This can be readily understood when
you remember that the germs of any
disease cannot gain u foothold In the
system OF man or woman who Is
blessed with perfect digestion because
perfect digestion means perfect health,
and such persons can bid defiance to-
La Grippe or to any other prevailing
epidemic.
For this reason physicians have re-
Gently introduced into their practices
the new preparation known as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets as an almost certain
preventive of La Grippe. as this remedy
by giving perfect digestion and assim-
ilation of the food so fortifies the sys-
tenn against disease that all danger
from this epidemic Is reduced to q mini
mum.
So popular have Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets become that 1t is claimed with
in one month after being made known
to the public one hundred and ninety
three druggists in Detroit Mich. alone
We're selling 1t and today they pro-

that while in the institution he had
been punished several times for insub-

than he deserved. He also said that he
had often seen other inmates of the

generally jus. as happy in chains as
out of them.
While on his good behavior he had
