Speaking of nightsticks reminds me
of seeing General Grant in his to my
mind greatest hour, the only time he
was ever beaten, and by policeman.

he became police commissioner In the
nineties, but do not think he appre.
ciated 1t. He was not cast in his great
fathers mold. The occasion refer to

the presidency. He was staying at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, when one morning
the Masonic temple was burned. The

Ing by, saw a man In great ulster
with head buried deep in the collar, a
cigar sticking straight out, coming
down the street from the hotel. I
recognized him at sight us General
Grant. The policeman who blocked
his way did not. He grabbed him by
the collar, swung him about and, hit
ting him a resounding whack across
the back with his club, yelled out:
What's the matter with you? Don't
you see the fire lines? Chase yourself
out of here and be quick about it."
The general never said word. He
did not stop to argue the matter. He
had run up against sentinel and when
stopped went the other way. That was
all. The man had right to be there;
he had none. was never so much an
admirer of Grant as since that day. 1t
was true greatness. A smaller man
would have made row, stood upon his
dignity and demanded the punishment
of the policeman. AS for him, there
was probably never so badly frighten-
ed policeman when I told him whom
he had dubbed. 1 will warrant he did
not sleep for week, fearing all kinds
of things. No need of it. Grant prob
ably never gave him thought.-Jacob

Hawk andpartr,aoe

III "reminiscences of Falconer''
Major Fisher describes the tactics of a
partridge when pursued by q tame
falcon.
The falcon was descending upon the
partridge when the partridge stopped
short and fell to the ground as If dead.
He seemed to be lost in the short stub
Bile of the field. He was far too know
Ing to trust himself again on the wing,
and the hawk had no alternative but
to take him on the ground, which he
speedily attempted to do.
But on the ground the partridge was
far more agile than lie, running this
way and that with great speed. The
hawk would jump awkwardly up and
dart after the scudding partridge, who
just at the right moment jumped from
the ground and over his back, descend
ed on the other side and commenced
running harder than before.
Time after time this was done. At
every attempt the partridge met the
hawk with outstretched neck and rails
ed hackles, in the attitude of fighting
bantam cock, Jumping up to avoid be-
ing clutched whenever the hawk struck
at him. In fact, his whole action was
that of plucky little game bantam.
This went on for some time, until, as
1 regret to say, ended the unequal
strife by putting the partridge once
more fairly on the wing, when, Of
course, the hawk readily overlook and
captured it, not overmuch to his credit
and still less to mine.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Mercury's year is only ss days, that
of Venus 225 days and of Mars 6S7
days.
Cumulus, or thunder clouds, rarely
rise over two miles. Seven miles is
the outside height for any cloud.
The edge of the moon is SO broken
by peaks, ridges and valleys that the
length Of totality during solar eclipse
is affected by them.
The suns heat raises from the earth
37,OOO,O0O tons Of water minute. To
do the same work artificially a cube of
coal 200 miles deep, wide and high
would have to be burned every second.
The archaic, wasteful "beehive" oven
process of making charcoal has been
superseded in many parts of Germany
by modern methods which save all the
ammonia, gas, tar and other products
of the wood.
A human body contains some of the
small things of nature. The blood, for

Selecting Seed Corn.

A few observations taken in the corn
belt will convince one that the shortage
in the corn crop this year cannot be at
tributed entirely to the drouth and dry
weather. The use of poor seed has
added immensely to that loss. 1t is true
that we attribute our poor "stand" to
unfayorable conditions at planting time,
but these very conditions suggest the
wisdom of using seed that will germin-
ate one-hundred per cent. even when
the soil is cold.
Preparations for good crop in 1902
should begin as soon as the growing
crop has matured. Where only few
bushels of seed are to be saved, this
should be selected in the field before
the heavy frosts begin. Seed for high
ground should be selected from the
higher lands, while for the bottom lands
the seed should be taken from lower
soils. Ears should be chosen only from
such stalks as are of good size and also
bear the ear we'll up on the stalk.
AS to the best type of ear to choose,
there will be some variations in yari-
eties, although on general principles all
varieties that are worth preserving
should conform to certain standard. i.
In the first place, 1t should be uniform
in color, both grain and cob, which
would indicate some fixedness in type
and give at least some assurance that
the crop grown from such seed would
resemble the parent, not only in colcr
but in other essentials all ears chosen
should be well filled out at butt and tip.
Bare tips indicate that the lower ker-
nels on the ear absorb nourishment that
should be distributed throughout the
entire length. OF course imperfect pol
lenation is sometimes the cause, but on
general principles such seed should be
rejected. Perfect filling at ends is more
often found where the ears are short and
mistakes are easily made in this direc-
ton. Nothing should be chosen that is
shorter than nine inches, and ten or ten
and one-half is much to be preferred
providing there is no deficiency in other
respects. The circumference should at
least be seven inches, or seven and one.
half would be still better. The rows of
kernels should be numerous, straight
and well packed together. The kernels
should be deep enough to yield So to &C
pounds of shelled corn per bushel when
cured. An ear that will yield much to
q twisting pressure should be rejected
Nothing should be saved for seed that
shows any tendency to revert to the flint
type. Any appearance of this reversion
is always plainly apparent in the tip and
butt kernels. Although smaller, these
kernels should show the clearly defined
dented character.
| Where large quantity of seed is
saved, it may be selected during the
husking season by placing such ears at
conform to high standard of perfection
in an apartment of the wagon designed
| for that purpose. In either case, the Sc
lection should be carefully made
| Seed corn should be stored where
freezing and thawing cannot take place
1t is true that corn taken from the Grill
will often grow quite well, but 1t has
been demonstrated beyond question tha
he germ of'such seed is always weak

One would naturally think that the
chief executive of SO great q nation as
ours would not only be exempt from
some obligations which fall upon the
average citizen, but would enjoy Ger
tain privileges peculiar to the highest
Office within the gift of the people.
This is not the case, however. The
fact that the President of the United
States is the only law-abiding and
reason-p possessing citizen thereof whom
custom holds prisoner within limited
bounds is brought out very forcibly by
John Elfreth Watkins, Jr., in an inter.
esting article on "Some Things the
President Does Not Do' in the October
Ladies Home Journal. 1t shows that
in the spending of his leisure time the
President is more restricted than the
janitor who daily empties his waste
basket. For he must not leave the
country for single day. This is an
old, unwritten law. Neither can he go
aboard foreign warship, even when
anchored in our harbors and when fly
ing the colors of friendly State, or
make q formal call upon any one ex-
cert President elect, an ex-President,
a President of foreign State or a reign
ing monarch visiting our capital. He
must not receive any but intimate
friends on Sunday, or occupy other than
the seat of honor at any former dinner.
He must never occupy the left side of
carriage seat, or CROSS the threshold OF
q foreign embassy's residence in Wash
ington, for that is foreign ground.
These are only few of the many laws
with which custom restricts our Presi-
dents.

uNDEFINED.

Who can define lover Not the little child
Who lifts his soft eyes from his mothers knee,
Fulfilled with innocent tranquility,
Nor that poor knight who went where venu
smiled
And strove, by after suffering beguiled,
To sing the meaning Of its mystery;
Nor can he tell whom love hath crowned OF he
From very pain of love undone made wild.
Not the wan nun who at the wtste Christ's feet
Offers the world as one poor sacrifice
Nor the sad tide that follows where the sweet,
Swift moon allurcs it from the crcling skies
Nay, not from time joy or suffering
Is knowledge brought that we may know this
thing.
