IMPLANTED CORN.

1t Has Habit of Getting Uneasy In

That's corn heatin' up in the spring.
"You take lot of corn. | don't care

cornmeal You keep it in any kind Of

we have on the farms, or the stone or

Seems as when the time comes along
fur corn to be planted the corn in the
bags, no mater what shape it's in, be-
gins to heat up, and when the planted
corn begins to. grow what you've got
stored will git so hot it'll fairly smoke.
You've got to take it out of the bags
and spread it out SO it'll cool off Or
you'll lose it all. In a few days it'll
cool down again, and you won't have
no more trouble with it durin' the sum-

starts; that's all.
Curious? Of course it's curious or

Hot Cross Buns.

In its early days, when, it is to be
hoped, it was more toothsome than it
is NOW, the hot cross bun played some
part in converting the people Of these
islands to Christianity. Pagan England
was III the habit of eating cakes in
honor of the goddess Of spring, and
Christian missionaries found that
though they could alter the views of
the people in reference to religious
matters they could not induce them to
withhold from the consumption of con-
fectionery. So they put the sign Of the
Cross upon the bun of the Saxon era
and launched it upon missionary enter
prise which has extended through the
intervening centuries and survived till
now-London Tit-Bits
