URGES CORN
Consul Harris Advocates Their Es-
t~ablishment in Germany to
Overcome Prejudice.

Consul Harris, at Mannheim, re-
ports to the state department that
something like the corn kitchen atthe
Paris exposition will be necessary to
induce the Germans to accept Indian
corn as a proper food. The consul
says: "The average German is GER
tainly %prejudiced against corn as an
article of food, except for cattle and
swine, but that this prejudice can be
overcome there is little doubt. He has
no hesitancy in using cornstarch, nor
does he object to beet sugar, although
beets form an important article of
food for cows; and if he can be shown
that corn, properly ground and pre-
pared, makes a palatable, wholesome
and cheap article of food his opposi-
ton will, in my judgment, disappear"

Gave IN His o

A good joke is going the rounds that
during the progress of a sanctifed
meeting at Island, Ky, an over-zeal-
u brother concluded he was the
mean of transportation from this
earth to the better land. So, lowering
himself upon his hands and knees. he
cried out: ANY one who wants to go
to heaven get on and let's 60" Two
or three men rode off like a bucking
b%roncho, when upon his return he
called for another passenger, and a
young man equipped with two heavy
spurs mounted the conveyance provid-
ed and began to drive the rowels into
each side, which caused the impover-
ished mule to quicken his pace, and
the passenger was soon landed.-Cal-

:'Around the PAM

The reader may make up his mind
to be pleasantly overwhelmed by
the opulence and ~vivaCity of Around
the Pam published by the Nutshell
Publishing Co., 1859 Third avenue,
New York. The wonders begin
with the frontispiece picture of VIM.
Mckinley, drawn in a single line
beginning at a point or the cheek
bone and going round and round in
a constantly widening circle, with
waverlngs and downbearings Of the
pen in the proper places to secure
detachment and shading. We are
told that this portrait is considered
the "most unique work of it's kind
in the world" and if there are any
degrees Of uniqueness we are wiling
to believe that this is most the thing
of which there are no duplicates.
OF course, there is text in addition
to the pictures, and we should be
surprised indeed to hear from any
purchaser the opinion that he had
not got his moneys worth $1,000.

The Gentleman,s Psalm.

A reader of the Scriptures empha-
sizes the fifteenth Psalm as the gen.

FARMERS MEETING.

The weekly meeting of the farmers
of both branches of the General AS

mittee room on Wednesday evening.
The seating capacity of the room was
overtaXed long before Chairman Rus
sell of Rutland town called the assem-
blage to order. |. f. Hobart was
secretary. The subject for discussion
was the bill relating to the establish
ment of Il cattle commission. If any
member went home dissatisfied with
the evenings proceedings it must have
been because he could not appreciate
witty sallies, good stories and sound
logic. Senator Russell's bill relating
to cattle commission was read after
it was suggested that formality be
dispensed with. Mr.. Douglass of
Williston insisted that it be read and
that each section be dissected and
dlgested was the desire, also of Mr.
Dunsmore of st. Adams town. Mr..

caught the audience and for a few
moments it was somewhat uncertain
as to just what was under discussion,
as the bill in question was lost sight
of while the gentleman from Wood
stock took some good hard drives at
veterinaries.
Senator Russell was present, armed
with the smile that even defeat will
not quench. He explained the meas
ure introduced by him, Offering to

his offer did not lack takers. The
