only about 10 per cent of the corn ker-
mel, but while it is rich in protein 1t
also contains more than So per cent Of
the total oil content of the whole ker-

tributed in all of the other parts.
BY keeping in mind that the horny
layer is large in proportion and also
quite rich in protein and that the germ,
although rather small in proportion, Is
very rich in protein, so that these two
parts contain a very large proportion
of the total protein in the corn kernel,
it will be readily seen that by selecting
ears whose kernels contain more than
the average proportion of germ AID
horny layer we are really selecting ears
which are above the average in their
protein content. AS matter of fact
the method is even more simple than
this, because the white starchy part is
approximately the complement of and
varies inversely as the sum of the 9TH

corn of high protein content it is only
necessary to select those ears whose
kernels showed relatively small proper

AS more than So per cent of the oil
in the kernel is contained in the germ
it follows that ears of corn are rela-

according as their kernels have larger
or smaller proportion of germ.
If we are selecting corn for low pro-

Thought 1t Was a Bird.

A story is told of a Glasgow bailie
whose knowledge of natural history
was limited One day when on the
bench the following case came before
him:
A man who had squirrel, on going
to the country for a short time left
the squirrel in charge of a neighbor.
The neighbor when attending to the
animal accidentally left the door of its
cage open, and without being seen 1T
made its escape.
On his return the owner of the squir-
rel was very angry at the man for his
carelessness and brought an action
against him demanding compensation
for the loss of his pet.
The bailie heard both parties and
then gave the following as his decision.

p.,.e,. Eron Runninr.

Running is the great beautifier of fig
ure and movement. 1t gives muscular
development, strong heart action and
free lung play. The muscle comes
where it ought to be, the shoulders go
back, the loins hold the trunk well bal
anced. and the feet take their correct
positions. 1t was running which made
the Greek figure. The more active
tribes of American Indians have been
runners from time immemorial, and
from the chest to the heels they are
much more beautifully built than the
average of white men. Running peo-
pie have usually the firm but elastic
texture which is the beauty of flesh.

The Ruling Passion.

A good woman was dying, woman
who had been true wife and loving
mother, a woman with but one weak
ness-a love of gossip.
Although her time on earth was
short, she was critically watching the
attending physician and the nurse as
they talked in subdued whispers of the
result which their united skill had been
powerless to avert.
In response to the summons OF the
dying woman her husband approached
her and bent low to catch the words
which he expected to be words Of love.
Again she turned her eyes, from which
the light was fast fading, upon the doc
tor and the nurse as she said family,
do you suppose they are engaged?"
These words were her last.

by Horace Greeley against her favorite
doctrine of woman suffrage is historic.

Ing, through n substitute"
Notwithstanding their differences OF
opinion, Mrs. Stanton and Greeley
were personally friendly until the New
York constitutional convention of 1868.
A woman suffrage clause was strenu-
ously pressed upon that body and as
vigorously opposed by Mr.. Greeley.
One day, after the Tribune editor had
made some particularly rasping re-
marks upon the subject, George Will
liam Curtis rose and said:
Il have the honor, Mr.. Chairman, to
present a petition in favor of the wom-
an suffrage amendment signed by Mrs.
Horace Greeley and 300 other ladies"
Greeley was furious and rightly as
cribed the appearance of the memorial
at that moment to Mrs. Stanton.
"Why did you not put my wife's
maiden name on that petition and call
her Mary Cheney Greeley?" he de-
manded the next time they met.
Because said Mrs. Stanton, Il
wanted all the world to know that
Horace Greeley's wife protested against
her husbands report on the suffrage
amendment"
"AIl right" retorted the editor. Here
after you shall always be spoken of in
the Tribune as Mrs. Henry B. Stan
ton" And SO it was to the time of her
death, although the name of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton was known to hundreds

try was divided into twelve military
provinces corresponding to the settle
ment of the twelve tribes, each gov
erned by a nazib (governor), who had
to provide for the kings wants and
needs month in the year, so it may
be probable that the races were also
arranged; that each month race took
place in the province under the patron
age Of that governor whose monthly
service was on the list, while the Der

"a divorce on the part of the husband
is easily obtained. One of the legal
causes of divorce is if the husband
find the wife too loquacious.' Yet in
all my long experience in Japan l have
met only one man who discarded his
wife, and | never met with family
where dissension existed. nor have l
ever heard of husband treating his
wife with severity, although the same
cannot be said of some parents-in-law,
who consider their sons wife a mere
chattel. AS n general rule, the appear
ance of girls and women testifies of a
