York by q o'clock las, night. but late
in the afternoon II was seen that this
would be impossible and orders were
sent to IlOboken to send no trains
through until this morning. It is be-
lieNed that it win be possbl" to get
NO IL in on time at Gl5 O'Clock this

Another serious MHshout at PoconO
Summit had to be filled in also. but
work ON his was completed late last

near the FactoryNillc tunnel was easily
repaired yesterday morning.
Th. last train in from New York ON
Saturday night was the one which ar
riveS here at l.3O. This passed through
t.lmhurst very few minutes before
the washout occurred. The station was
thrOnged all day yesterday with per-
sons anXiously awaiting news Of friends

York or 'iutta'o h"for" today. one
delegat" to the American Federation

SUN BATHS soR HOSES.

Sunshine is needed to keep horses in
vigorous health and spirits. To keep
them shut up in dark stable month in
anu month out is not the right treat
ment. Joseph Cairn Simpson gives as
one cause of the superiority Of California
horses the vivifying effects of the rays
Of the sun of that climate. He claims
that the superior nerve force of Cali
fornia horses is attributable in n large
measure TO the bright rays of the sun.
In his natural state the horse has
abundant light and fresh air and bright
sunshine. When deprived of these he
necessarily loses part Of his vigor.
In connection with every stable there
should be lot protected in winter as
much as possible from the penetrating
winds in which stable horses may be
turned 10 obtain sun baths and pure air
and needed exercise-whether the horses
are driven or not. la this lot they can
roll and disport themselves at pleasure.
la warm days couple of hours enjoyed
by each horse daily will prove very
healthful and invigorating. The Rural
World most earnestly recommends TO
stable men the necessity of lot on the
south side of the stable il possible, into
which horses may be turned on pleasant
days to secure sun baths and fresh air
and freedom from restraint.-Coleman'
Rural World.

THE RACES OF CORN.

Indian corn has been 10 cultivation by
the native races of America for an in
definite period. 1t probably originated
from a wild form somewhere on the
Mexican plateau.
There are five important races OF corn
grown in the United States on COM
mercial scale:
l. Dent Corns. A part of the starch
iu the grain is Of close hard texture.
This is called the horny endosperm aud
is found along the sides Of the kernel,
while the softer portion, or stsrchy
endosperm, is found in the centre ex-
tending to the summit. Three hundred
and twenty-tbree varieties are described.
2. Sweet Corns. These are chiefly
found in gardens, but it is grown on a
commercial scale for canning purposes.
In 1854 there were ten varieties. Now
there are sixty-three.
3. Flint. The horny endosperm en-
tirely surrounds the starchy, and hence
the grain is smooth at maturity.
4. Popcorns. These resemble the
fliut corns, but differ in the ability to
pop" when heated. This phenomenon
depends upon the fact that the starch is
in the form of horny endOsperm and the
moisture present finally explodes, turn
ing the grain inside out. There are
twenty-five varieties.
5. Soft Corns. In these the starch is
all in the form of starch endosperm.
Besides the above there is pod corn
grown as curiosity, in which each
Kernel is enclosed in husk; and some
frnn
flint corn, grown for the striped or bar
red leaves.
The height of the plant in varieties
and localities has been reported from
eighteen inches for the golden Tom
Thumb pop, to thirty feet or more FOL
varieties in the West Indies.-Exchsnge.
