His farm was In no way especially adapted for
growing fine wheat. but he had several enterpris-
ing daughters, and they went out into the fields
ana picked out the big early heads OF wheat from
large. vigorous plants
The seed from those was thoroughly cleaned and
sowed for wheat again. and then the process was
repeated. The result was that the wheat from this
farm took the gold medal at the Paris Exposition
and for years afterward was sold for seed at fine
prices as Meldrum wheat.

TO PROMOTE AGRICULTURE.

PRIZES OFFERED TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS
OF CANADA FOR CHOICE SEED GRAIN
An interesting and important movement for the
Improvement of seed grain has just been instituted
In Canada through the personal efforts of the Com
missioner of Agriculture Professor James w. Rob
ertson.
A year ago Professor Robertson offered prizes to
the bows and girls the Dominion for the selection
of seed grain and the results were so satisfactory
that he had prevailed upon a generous friend, Sir
William Macdonald. the Montreal millionaire. to
place $4,000 at his disposal for the purpose OF
tinuing the work. A competition extending over a
period of three years with prizes ranging from
500 down to s.. has, accordingly, been arranged.
Any acre of grain the farm at which the
competitor lives may be selected for 1900, and one
mark will be awarded for every pound of grain of
good quality obtained from it, Before the grain is
harvested in 1900 a sufficient number of large heads
Is to be selected to yield enough plump heavy seeds
to in 1901, and two marks will be
awarded for every pound of grain of good quality

Chased by S Ball of Fire.

A. member of a Swiss scientific so- ciety thus tells how he was chased by ball of fire: "At 30 o'clock I drove from Versoix to Genthoud. On the Malagny road the coachman's eyes be- came so much fatigued by intense lightning that he couldn't. even in the intervals, see the road. I stepped onto the box and took the reins. We had barely passed the gate of Dr. Marcel when I became conscious of a bright and lasting luminosity behind me. 1 turned around and saw at a distance of 300 yards ball of fire of about sixteen inches diameter. Just as the ball was about seventy-five feet to our right it burst with terrific noise, and it seemed as if lines of fire started from it. We felt violent shaking and re- mained blinded a few seconds. Then I saw that the horses had turned at right angle to the carriage, with their chests in the hedge, with dropping ears and signs Of great terror

 TACK IN HIS LUNG.
For Seven Years It Had Been There
 Until He Coughed It Up.

For seven Years It Had Beer There
 Until He Coushed It Up.
 A boy IT years old, driver by occu- patton, writes pr. Andrew V. Jova Of Newburg and complained of having had severe cough with expectoration for seven years. Last April he said that the cough had been worse for three weeks; he was unable to eat and felt weak. He had slight hemor1- haze few days before. The tongue was thickly coated Expectoration eewas profuse and fetid. Respiration, A; temperature, 104 degrees Fahrenheit; pulse, 146. Physical examination of the chest showed, on the left side, percussion normal; there was an exaggerated respiratory murmur over the entire lung, with slight rough ness. On the upper side percussion was normal. The respiratory mur- mur was slightly bronchial. In the lower part, especially over the back and side, percussion was dull, and there was almost complete absence of the respiratory murmur. Two or three nights later he coughed up a tack seven-eighths of an inch long, well preserved except that it was covered with rust and thick, dark mucus. On the following morning the respiration was 30; pulse, 100, and temperature, 102 degrees Fahrenheit, From over the lower part of the lung came gurgling sound and over circum- scribed space about two inches In di- ameter cavernous breathing. Three days later the respiration. pulse and temperature were normal. The patient rapidly recovered and soon was able to resume his occupation, but he still coughs a little, and there is some dull- ness over the lower part of the lung, fifth broncho-yesicular breathing. His mother says that seven years ago, when he was 10 years old, he swal- lowed a tack while playing. He had experienced a slight choking sensation at the time, but it soon passed away. He had coughed ever since, however, and she consulted several physicians, who ridiculed the idea of the tack and told her the boy had bronchitis.-New York World.
 Money orders That Fail to Reach.
 Tn the course of the last year nearly 50.0o0 money orders failed to reach the navees. The number of such cases in- rreases from year to year, correspond ing with the aggregate business. In many cases remitters hold the orders as receipts; in other cases failure to deliver fs' due to defective address; but inc bulk of the loss occurs through the stealing of letters by persons i'll the employ of the payees or remitters. Whenever loss is reported. whether actual or alleged, duplicate is drawn nro,nptlv. the issue of which makes the original void. In the last year the number of duplicates issued was 46,2o3, being an increase over the preceding year of 1908.

COOKERY IN BOLIVIA.
Chupe, an Uncertain Kind of Irish
 Stew, Is the National Dish.

Stew, Is the National Dish.
 The stoves of the Bolivian Indians are curious things. A hole is dug in the ground about IS inches deep and foot square, and over this is built a roof of clay with holes of different sizes to receive the various cooking pots. Roasting is done on spits passed comes out very much smoked unless great care is taken to have only live coals at the bottom of the oven. The national dish, and the common food of the masses, is schupe," a sort of first cousin to the Irish stew. It is con- st.sf ts from the animal and yege- t,4a 2 i.sagdoms-a mess of mutton and susl ether meats as are available; chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes. carrots, barley, corn, rice, onions, vans, etc., chopped up. highly seasoned with pep pers and herbs, and stewed to con- sisteney of porridge. What happens to be left from one meal sinners in the pot until the next. If the fire goes out the "chupe' is allowed to cool, but 1t Is warmed up again. and new supply of the ingredients added to the water logged and greasy stuff for the next meal. In the cities, at the hotels and restaurants where there are French or Swiss cooks the 'chupe" is savory and palatable, but the further you go from the centers of civilization the worse 1t gets. One eats it first under protest, then from necessity, and only to escape starvation; but finally the stomach re- bels, and you limit your diet to boiled eggs and fruit, which are usually to be obtained; but the experienced travel CT always takes canned meat and bread with Chicago Record.

Queer Devices for use in Warfare.

Now while war is going on the pro- life brain of the inventor is busy de- vising ways in which to speedily an- nihilate the enemy. One ingenious in- dividual, an Englishman, suggests a mist or fog ball with which to envelop an antagonist in impenetrable dark ness. The balls are easily broken spheres, containing ammonia and acids, which, on escaping. create very dense fog, wrapping everything near it in haze until blown away by the wind He argues that this would be a most efIicacious method of prevent ing the Boers from aiming at English troops. Another proposes to blind the foe by firing into their midst bullets filled with pepper-thus doing double good work, both disabling the enemy and increasing the consumption of our colonial produce,
