nOnster Corn Crop.

According to the crop reports
never in the history of cereal pro.
ductions has there been such an
enormous crop of corn as is being
gathered in the United States this
year. 1t will aggregate 1859, ,951,
600 bushels, or more than the en-
tire corn crop of the world for 1901
The corn raised in the United
States will be sufficient to supply
the needs of the world for this
and next year, even should there
be total failure in 1908.

The Maryland State Horticultural
Society-PIans for Fruit Exhibi.
tion at the Next Annual
Meeting.

One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the meeting of the Mary
land State Horticultural Society
last year was the very fine display
of fruits and vegetables. These
exhibitions are of great value in
indicating the horticultural posi-
bilities of our State, and hereafter
should form one of the most promi-
nent features of our annual
meetings.
1t is desired to make the exhibit
at the forthcoming meeting to be
held in Baltimore, Thursday and
Friday, Dec. Is and 10, as large
as possible, and fine showing can
be made if the fruit growers of the
State will lend their cooperation.
All are invited to contribute to
this exhibition. Those desiring to
aid in this important work, should
read carefully the following direc-
tions, and be governed thereby.
Fruit intended for exhibition
purposes should be picked as soon
as it is well grown, without wait
ing for evidences of full ripeness to
appear. Handle with the greatest
possible care to avoid bruising.
Wrap each specimen in tissue or
other suitable paper, label each
specimen, and pack carefully in
ordinary peach basket, crate or
barrel. Address each package to
the State Horticultural Society,
care of the Baltimore Cold Storage
and Warehouse Company, 4OS
South Eutaw street, Baltimore,
Md, and ship at once by express,
charges prepaid. Advise the above
company of the shipment, also the
Secretary, to whom should be
sent list of the varieties shipped.
Exhibitors will be put to no fur
ther trouble, as the arrangement OF
the fruit in the hall, will be in
charge of a committee of the
Society. Handsome Awards of
Merit, signed by the President
and Secretary, will be awarded to
those entitled to them, as deter
mined by the Exhibition Commit
tee. These Certificates will be of
three grades, first, second, and
third, and will be awarded on in
dividual varieties of fruits in COM
petition with each other or collec-
tions of varieties; or new seedlings
of merit, and on any other horticul-
tural exhibits, based on the report
of the Committee in charge. Five
specimens of each variety must be
exhibited to compete for certifi-
cate. Further information relat-
ing to the Society may be obtained
by addressing the Secretary,

Plenty Of Boys in berlin.

In general statisticians have to COM
plain of the unequal increase in the
number of female children, as COM
pared with that of males, 1t is inter-
esting, therefore, to note that Berlin,
the capital of the military monarchy
of Prussia, has always broken the rec
ord in this respect, so that Kaiser Will
helm need not fear that the ranks of
his legions will be thinned. Last year
52,245 children We're born in Berlin. Of
these e7,677 were boys and 25, 16s were
girls, showing an increase to the credit
of the male population of 1909. Berlin,
for some reason or another, seems to
have the privilege of turning out more
boys into the world than girls, for,
taking the numbers from 1891 to 1900,
we find there was an average annual
increase in the male progeny of the
city during the ten years of 1861 over
the female-in other words, out of ev-
cry 1000 infants born, 513 were boys
and 4S7 girls. The year 1920 was the
record year last century, when 525 boys
were born out of 1000 babies. es.-London

Good evening"" said HollenbecE.
it should be placed. Peleg delayed
commencing the work ON the well for a
month.
In the meantime John Hollenbeck
had his attention particularly attract
ed to Mr.. Williams only daughter, Mil
dred. He had been introduced to her
when he first came to the village, but
soon after she went away on long
visiting trip in the west.
1t was during her absence that Hol-
lenbeck exchanged the angry words
with her father about the virtue of the
divining rod. On her return the young
man met her at church and social
gatherings. She was a handsome girl,
too, and in graciousness her demeanor
was in marked contrast with that of
her gruff father.
One evening Hollenbeck walked home
with her, not without fear that he
might meet Mr.. Williams and be treat
ed in an unsatisfactory manner.
AS the two neared the house the
schoolmaster saw the dreaded parent
standing by the front gate. 1t was too
late to retreat, and, assuming an air Of
unconcern, he approached with the un-
suspecting daughter.
"Good evening"" said Hollenbeck.
"Good evening"" grunted the old man.
"Ain't you where you don't belong?"
II hope not" responded John pleas
antly.
'I'd ruther see you somewhere else.
/ hope you'll take the hint and keep
away hereafter"
Hollenbeck's face flushed. 81 will bid
you good night here then," he said to
Miss Williams and, turning on his heel,
departed.
Mildred did not have to wait for an
explanation. Her father gave her a
scolding, telling her that Hollenbeck
was conceited, unmannerly upstart-
'an edecated fool" in fact-and for.
bidding her to cultivate his acquaint-
ance.
The girl was discreet. She listened
quietly and made no reply. When next
she met the schoolteacher, there was
an interesting conversation. John
frankly related the circumstances of
the quarrel and expressed his deep re,
gret that he had drawn upon himself
the Ill will of her father.
"It is unfortunate" said Mildred,
Hell never forgive you. l am sorry
to say he is one Of the unforgiving
Sort"
"Then I suppose I'll have to avoid
| you hereafter.
81 presume it will be best" replied
Mildred timidly.
"Cannot talk with you little when
we meet by chance?" he eagerly asked.
81 do not think that will do any
harm," she replied, blushing, "but l
think you had better keep away from
the house at present"
"A few days later laborers began to
dig the well. Soon they arrived at the
ledge and commenced to drill the rock
and blast it. making slow progress.
/ Now, a few rods from Mr.. Williams

or eight.
They were incorrigible gossipers, and

Veteran Rector Tells of CarIyIe's Dctes
tation OF Science.
The Rev. A. G. w. Blunt. who has
resigned the rectorship of Chelsea,
London. after service OF forty-one
years, is one of the few people living
who knew Carlyle intimately. Car
lyle" he said recently, "had the key
of my garden and he used 1t. He would
sit after dinner, pipe in mouth, and his
reflections would flow in a brilliant
and incessant stream. When be began
to abuse anybody or anything 1t was
no use trying to stop him. In particu-
larly he hated Huxley's writings and
detested all science. remember Hux-
ley-whose character grew sweeter and
sweeter as years drew on-telling me
that 1t was no use contradicting him.
He was so great and so DID," Carlyle
did not often go to church, but some
body once took him to see Westminster
abbey. He was impressed with the
building. but not with the service. "and
as FOR being buried in it," he growled,
Il should want Jail delivery first be-
fore I'd lay my bones there" The Rev.
Mr.. Blunt also knew Rosetti and Hol-
man Hunt, and tells the following
story Of Rosettl: when his wife died
he cast volume Of unpublished poems
into her grave and it was buried with
her. But later, the argument OF his
friends as to the loss which the world
suffered thereby induced him to have
the poems dug up again and they were
then given to the world."-Chicago

vlrginia,s Wonderful Tunnel.

A most wonderful spectacle is the
famous Natural Tunnel, of Scott
County, Virginia. 1t is situated four
teen miles west Of Gate City. Stone
Creek, a considerable stream, flows
through 1t, and at high tide rushes
along its cavernous bed with a noise
resembling the heaviest thunder. The
tunnel Is about one-eighth of a mile
in length. and curves in the form of
the letter s. At its southern en-
trance 1t is very high, the noble CELL
ing bending gracefully, forming a cir
cular dome. as smooth and regular as
il followed out by the hand Of art.
From this point it gradually diminish
es in size, the roof coming down, till,
at the northern entrance, 1t reaches
to within thirty feet of the surface Of
the water. Here is perpendicular
wall. almost as smooth as polished
marble and as white as alabaster,
rises 400 feet high. and curves in such
a manner that to one looking up
from below the regular rim presents
a complete semicircle. In the spring
time the summit of the wall is fringed
with green intertwined with honey
suckles. On the eastern side, Chin
ney Rock, an irregular but perpen-
dicular column, rises from the bottom
of the chasm to the level Of the pla-
teau above. standing clear Of the wall
from base to summit The ridge
through which the tunnel extends Is
covered with heavy growth of tim
Der, and public highway, leading
from Clinchport to Rye Cove, passes
along its crest. The Virginian and
Southwestern Railway has been con-
structed through the tunnel, and pre-
sents perhaps the only instance Of a
railroad running through a natural
tunnel. Owing to the curvature the
railroad company had to tunnel
through the angular projection near
the northern entrance. thus making
q double tunnel.
