Whirlpools In Lake,.

The whirlpool near the center OF
Lake Popo, which receives the waters
of Lake Titicaca, in Peru, is well
known, and hundreds of men have lost
their lives by venturing too near it..
Boats that are drawn into the current
are whirled swiftly around for a few
times and then disappear. For the
protection of navigators the govern
ment of Bolivia has anchored lot of
buoys in Lake Popo, and boatmen who
observe them are in no danger. There
Is supposed to be an underground out
flow from all of these lakes. 1t Is
claimed that articles which have been
thrown into their waters have after
wards been picked up on the seacoas11
near africa, and careful observers say
that on the beach in that locality are
frequently found cornstalks, reeds and
other debris which does not grow on
the coast, but are found in great
abundance among the interior lakes.

Devil Anse," chief OF the notorious
Hatfield gang of Kentucky, has been
captured by a sheriff's posse. Like
many other dreaded desperadoes, the
terrible Hatfield ran like a deer when
the officers came in sight, and, when
cornered, surrendered with hardly a
show OF resistance. There is a material
difference between cabin-burning or
ambuscades at midnight and a standup
fight with armed sheriffs who can
shoot straight and are perfectly will

The president has directed a census
of the people OF Cuba to be taken. Ma
tive Cubans are to be appointed as
enumerators and supervisors, and the
presidents proclamation announcing
the census describes it as a preliminary
step to the establishment of an eff
fective system OF self-government. A
similar census is to be taken in Porto
Rico. and it will there be preliminary
to local elections for the choice OF
subordinate officials.

Strange as it may seem at first
thought there is a growing class of
our people who have reconciled them
selves to the domination of trusts.
They believe that the trust is a great
benefactor insomuch as it is an edu-
Gator of vast possibilities. This class
may be termed state socialists or social
democrats. and they believe that the
trusts are merely demonstrating the
possibilities of concentrated produc-
ton.

There seems to be some ground for
the recent publication of an article in
a st. Louis farm paper to the effect
that the trust octopus has begun to

Some combinations have already been
entered INTO and it is likely that a
whole lot of farm journals will be con
solidated before Jan. l.

The refusal of some ultra-fashionable
London hotels to receive at dinner
guests not arrayed in what is conven-
tionally known as evening dress"
raises some interesting questions. The
legal issues involved will presently be
determined in court of justice, some
of the excluded persons having begun
suits on the ground that a licensed
public house is under obligations to en-
tertain any guests who are of decent
dress and demeanor. There certainly
seems to be a moral obligation to the
same effect. 1t is true that the courts
and general opinion sustained a hotel
recently in rejecting guests clad in an
outlandish and offensive manner. But
to object to those who are merely wear
ing after 6 o'clock the same clothes
decent and even shionable-which
they wore before that hour, and who
thus do not conform to an arbitrary
and Temporary detail of fashion, is to
establish new philosophy of clothes
which only the author of "Sartor Re-
sartus" could characterize as it de-
serves.

"the wife OF the Keeley-cure patient
had a cheerful courage in her eyes;
the patent-medicine man who is worth
30 much money was tender to the awk-
ward wife he had oourted in their pow
erty, and that rich, overdressed sum-
mer girl saved a child from drowning
only last week" The sudden SOLDERING
of the young faces-careless, not ma
licious-was the best comment upon
both the sneer and its gentle reproof.

SELECTING SEED CORN.
Every Single Ear Should BE Chosen
Solely on Account Of Its Being
Near 4 Standard,

Ny father practiced selecting HE seed
corn Of husaing time. His first rule
was to choose the:upper ear on stalk
having two or moro good plump ears.
A few Of the inner. husks were left on
ths ear to mark it for saving, when put
ting the corn in. the crib. When all the
seed was collected, the ears were braid
I'd into large bundles and hung up to
dry, out Of the reach Of mice or rats
The second rule Of selection was more
useful than the first. He chose only
the ears set close to the stalks, having a
short tootstalk and q small or medium
sized shank at tho end Of the cob. Such
ears husk easily, - the cob breaks close
70 tia corn and the husks cling to the
tootstalk and not to the cal, when hu,le-
ing. ..-s. ....:>...
Following these directions ws Away,
saved large supply Of SEED corn, and
the type Of ears and corn and ear-set-
ting became noted and uniform. Many
hills Of corn having two stalks would
yield three ears each, and where there
were three or four stalks in hill often
gil but one os them had two car. each.
Prolific bearing was tho rule. And thu
was clearly produced by constant, per-
astent selection following one line.
At the same time tia ear. were ,et close
TO the stalks 70 that the weight OF grain
wes balanced. Thus storms would not
% readily tangle, and twist the crop.
Or eerry It down 70 the ground.
