Shripkage Of Corn.

An experiment conducted by the
Ames, Iowa, Agricultural college to
ascertain definite statistics relative to
the shrinkage of corn is productive of
some interesting figures. A crib was
built on pair of scales and filled with
1000 pounds of corn. Once week the
corn was weighed. During the first
three months the loss was ESQ pounds
or nine per cent. of the original weight,
for the second quarter the loss was
800 pounds, or five and three-sevenths
per cent; and the last quarter loss of
100 pounds or two and five-sevenths
per cent. The shrinkage for the year
was l, 43O pounds or more than twenty
per cent. At the time of cribbing it
contained twenty-eight per cent. of
moisture. According to this expert
ment a bushel of corn weighing so
pounds at the time of cribbing will
weigh GA pounds at the end of the year,
providing, of course, the conditions are
similar to those encountered by the
station.

The Saloons are Closed.

The Supreme Court handed down its
decision in the saloon case of Hill VS..
Glelsner, appealed from the Win
nesheik court, last Wednesday. 1t is
a case from Ossian, and the point in
yolved is the finding of the Board of
Supervisors in examining the consent
petitions, i. e., it must show the resi-
dence of signers in incorporated towns
that are not separate from the town.
ships in which they are located at
general elections. The decision is an
important one, in that it effects every
saloon in the state doing business
under conditions similar to those in
this county outside of Decorah city.
Every saloon in Winnesheik county
outside of Decorah is closed by the de-
cision, and the same will be true in
many other counties. The decision of
the lower court was affirmed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way TO cure deafness;
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an iDfiamed con-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is

imperfect hearing. and when It is closed

unless the Inflammation IS taken out

Treatment of Women In Morocco.
CornhfX lMagaEfns.

Morocco is a paradise for the
woman hater. He who hath been
scurviIy served by the unfair sex
may there find balm for his bruised
spirit. Either woman is not seen
at all or, if noticed in the public
ways, is cursed and cuffed. Her
highest ambition is to batten on
sweet stuff as a Gagged bird on rape.
seed; when her youth and beauty
leave her, and kohl and henna no
longer stave of the Tava0es Of
time and domesticitv, she is thrown
on public charity as a private nuis'
ance. To the Moslem way OF think
ing, the New Woman would be as
impossible Of acceptance as is the
New Testament. During his frst
few days in the land, any English
man feels his blood boil at sight OF
skinny and uncomplaining old
hags keeping pace painfully on the
hot, sandy highway beside the
mule that bears their husband, son,
or brother; but habit sottens the
shock, and to his first impulse OF
rebellion in favor of an innovation
Of equality" much abused in the
lair cities OF the North there sue
ceeds cynical acquiescence in this
obsequiousness, this relic OF the
old order, at the gates Of Europe,
and not quite at the antipodes Of
New York.
Woman in Morocco, he soon
perceiVes, is no more than domeS-
ticated animal; but then students
Of social evolution assure US that
she was once on that footing, pur-
chased and fed that she might do
the work of the house and bear the
race, in what are now civilized
communities. Ii is the utter mis-
conception OF the romance Of mar
riage that has raised her to a throne
that she often shows herself unable
to grace. They manage these
things differently in Morocco. The
grave old pacha pays a good price
to her parents for Fatma, and
Fatma by that same token he keeps
within doors, carrying the key of
her apartments in his sash, or en-
trusting it to a slave auswerable
with his head. Fatma is pampered
as long as she is young, and may
even be treated with kindness in
middle age. She :an eat sweet
cakes and drink green tea or sher-
bert, and deck her comelY form ia
shoddY jewelrY; and she can ride
to the bath, closely Veiled, and get
passing glimpse OF the outer
world, OF which, on marriage, she
took leave like any Christian
novice taking the veil. And the
good ST. Elarbi, her lord, is secure
in his household, and would
chuckle nightly could he but read
of the matters that daily take up
the time Of Nazarene courts of
divorce.
Divorce, forsooth! A good old
scimitar, with Damascene blade,
hangs between two silent time
pieces in his inner hall-somewhat
dull and blunt, and demanding,
perchance, a second stroke to
make doubly sure; yet would it
divorce a thoughtless wife with
more rapidity, more effectively,
than the grave deliberations OF
whole mosque full Of sapient fellow
citizens. And Fatma has seen the
old scimitAr, and thinks it looks
best where it hans gs, and IS circum-
spect in her glances, particularly
when, in the narrow market way,
her mouse colored mule brushes
the glossy black charger Of the
blue eyed Nazarene riding even
then to see her owner, and wonder
ing whether that undulating form
on muleback is set of by a pretty
face.
