Improvement of Corn.

"uncle Henry" Wallace, lis devoting 6
good deal of space in his paper Wal
laces' Farmer to the improvement Of
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN.
ty years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop
corn. Among the many articles which
have appeared in Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof.
Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by number
OF photographs showing different va
rletles OF corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise, etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess if he can
not learn a lot from these articles in
Wallaces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to

Bones For Bread.

There is an interesting child's story
called Jack the Giant Killer" in
which one of the giants is supposed to
use the expression "fe-faw-fum," or
something like it, when Jack has climb
ed beanstalk and been hidden by the
giants wife, the rest of the growl be.
ing, II smell the blood of an English
man, but be he alive or be he dead I'll
take his bones to make my bread"
Possibly it has not occurred to many
to ask where the idea of making bread
out of bones originated, as we do not
often seriously investigate fairy tales.
1t is historical fact that during the
siege Of Paris by Henry w., owing to
famine, bread, which had been sold
while any remained for more than 81
n pound, was made from the bones in
the charnel house of the Holy limo
cents. This occurred in 1o94.-New

THE END.


For the purpose of erecting suita-
Bile monument in honor of Roger vii,

private burying ground was searched
for himself and wife. 1t was found
that everything had passed into oblivi.
on. The shape of the collins could be
traced only by the carbonaceous mat
ter. The rusted hinges and nails and a
round wooden knot remained in one
grave, while single knot of braided
hair was found in the other.
Near the graves stood an apple tree.
This had sent down two main roots
into the very presence Of the cotfined
dead. The larger root, pushing it's way
to the precise spot occupied by the
skull of Roger Williams, had made n
turn as if passing around it and fol.
lowed the direction of the backbone to
the hips. Here 1t divided into two
branches, sending one along each leg to
the heel, where both turned upward
toward the toes. One Of these roots
formed u slight crook at the knees,
which made the whole bear a striking
resemblance to the human form.

A peculiar case of poisoning by a
physician was that OF DR.. Stephen Eot-
vos in Hungary many years ago. Eot-
vos undertook to hasten the death Of
patients whose cases he considered
hopeless by putting them out Of their
misery, as he termed it, with fatal
drugs. He encountered no opposition
to his peculiar methods of benevolence
while he practiced them on people of
no particular standing. but when the
doctor fastened the death Of well
known land proprietor named Szlavy,
who was slowly dying Of cancer, the
relatives of the dead man presented a
violent protest and demanded the pros
ecution of Eotvos.
The physician declared on trial he
was actuated by humane motives and
had merely eased the journey of his
victims to the inevitable goal. This de-
Tense was not accepted by the court.
Eotvos was acquitted of malice, but
found guilty of homicide without NAL
Ice and sentenced to long term Of i'm
priSonment.

to-date person should have at his fin
gers ends.

The Mississippi 100000 Years Ago.
Did you ever figure on what was the
probable condition of the great Mis-
sissippi river 10000. 100000 or even
100000 years ago? Scientists suggest
that the erosion of its bed was ac-
complished by n mighty cataract,
which began far down the river, prob
ably ut the place where it then emp
tied into the gulf, and by gradual re-
PROGRESSION dug out the valleylike
gorge through which it now flows.
That this theory is tenable may be in
ferred from the high, wall-like bluffs,
features so characteristic of the upper
part of its course.
A wearing away of monster cata-
ract would of course necessarily leave
high walls or bluffs on either side.
These are the well known features of
the father of meandering streams. 1t
would seem, according to this theory,
that st. Anthony's falls constitute the
remnant of what was once the most
stupendous cataract in the world. &C.
ologists estimate that it has taken the
river 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch through which it now
flows.

A Frenchman, who appears to have

ceived the idea in 1878 that too much
valuable time was being wasted in
cleaning sardines when preparing them
for the market. He found way of
preparing them without cleaning them,
and on this he took out letters patent.
