turning out griddle cakes, hoe cakes,
corn pone, bread made from corn and
rye, bread made from an admixture of
corn flour and wheat flour and all of
the many delightful corn products,
serving them free to visitors from all
over Europe, from all over the world,
would do much to make the advant-

Corn From Moundbuiider's Tomb.

Dempsey Waggy, farmer of Madi-
son County, Indiana, has raised corn
this year from seeds which, he says,
were taken out of a mound builders
tomb in Arkansas, estimated to be
1000 years old. The stalks of the corn
are from ten to twelve feet in length,
and are somewhat on the order of q
tree, being as thick at the ground as a
mans wrist. Three feet from the
ground they shoot out three long palm
like leaves. The leaves are heavy and
very solid, resembling cactus leaf.
Some of them are five feet from tip to
tip. These are the only leaves on the
stalk. About two feet further up are
the ears of corn. Many stalks bear
six ears and none have fewer than four
ears. At this rate it is figured that
the average yield to the acre would be
about $50 bushels. Above the ears
the stalk continues three or four feet,
and is topped with an elaborate tassel.
The husks surrounding the ears are
heavy, and as the corn natures they
break and curl back, revealing firm
yellow grained ear. The grains are
solid and are exceptionally good for
feeding. Chicago Record.

Taking His Measure.

"Who is that young MANI" inquired
the hostess.
''We don't know much about him
yet, !" replied her daughter. "He has
either mingled in circles far more ex-
elusive than ours or else he is wholly
unused to the manners of good soci-
ety."
''How do you reach that opinion ?''
''He has an absurd way of shaking
hands that none of us ever saw be-
fore. ."-Washington Star.

The Alphabet Engraved on Pinhead
Frank j. Mollenhauer is perhaps
the most expert engraver in New
York, if not in the world. In delicacy
of touch and skill in handling delicate
instruments his work is something
marvellous. His latest achievement
was to engrave the twenty-six letters
of the alphabet on the head of pin.
Under a magnifying glass the letters
are clear and distinct, and each is as
perfect as any ever engraved for a
visiting card or wedding invitation.
But with the naked eye the minute
letters are merely scratches which
have no discernible form.
r. Mollenhauer's work was ithe result
of an attempt to beat the work of a
man who had engraved the Lord s
prayer on a three-cent piece. New
York Journal.

House and Barn Burned.

The house and barn belonging to
Thomas Percel of Burlington, situated
in Waltham, and occupied by Ann
brose Tatro, Jr., were consumed by
fire last Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Tatro was away from home and
his two sons were there, the eldest
about II years old, but they claim they
do not know how the fire started, as
they were in the house and il caught
first in the barn.
The barn was about 30x4Q and con-
tanned large quantity of hay, reap
er and binder and wagon, which
were all burned. A number of peo-
pie saw the fire and got there in time
TO save most of the articles of value in
the house. The house was an ordina-
ny farm house about 24X30, one and
one half stories high. There was
small insurance on the buildings, but
Mr.. Tatro's property was not insured.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. 1t corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpless-
ant necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. II stands
the highest for its wonderful cures Of the
most distressing cases. IL you need med
icine you should have the best. Sold by
druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
For a sample bottle and pamphlet, both

these discussions of the ailments peculiar

health among women is largely dependent

Through ignorance and neglect it has be-

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle Of common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty four hours; a sed
iment or settling indicates diseased con-
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or
pain in the back are also convincing proofs
that the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.

u. S. Circuit Judge Wheeler al
Rutland, last week Wednesday, dis.
charged from custody Arthur Weeks
of st. Adams, the deputy customs col
lector of tits state.
Weeks refused some months ago to
give the names of persons holding u.
5. liquor licenses, in the prosecution
of certain case in the Washington
county court, Judge Rowell presiding.
lie was committed for contempt and
brought before Judge Wheeler on
habeas corpus proceedings.
There is a state law making the
holding of L. S. liquor license
prima facie evidence that the person
holding such license is a common sell
Ter of liquor.
Judge Wheeler in his opinion says
in substance that the national and state
governments have a separate juris-
diction and that the state has no right
to federal instruments of purely fede-
raj character for proof, unless they
are left within its reach. lie adds
"When the state lays hold Of fed
eral officer and his doings for proof,
contrary to bis duty in respect to the
tax, instead of resorting to the evil
dence provided by that government,
it interferes with the lawful opera
tons Of the federal government in
laying and collecting taxes"
This decision will tend TO make the
prosecution of offenders of the pro-
hibitory law more difficult.
