arm and led him silent and unresisting
to a sofa. Then, as he seemed unde-
cided whether to remain standing or
to sit, she gently pushed him down and
seated herself by him, still keeping
her face averted. Half mechanically
he raised one hand and touched her
face; and she shrank away.
DON'T" she cried. "Don'tl"

"why is your face covered?"
She sprang up and quickly crossed
the room.

around with his hand, then fell back
again.

A remarkable example of the power
of mimicry possessed by some persons,
but altogether lacking in others, was
furnished by the late Prof. Roberts
Austen, of England. His friend, Prof.
7. r. Thorpe, recalls many interesting
instances of Roberts-Austen's singular
gift, which was purposely exercised
only occasionally for the entertain
ment of his scientific confreres at a
club meeting. But what lends special
interest to the case was the fact that
Roberts-Austen frequently exercised
his power without being aware Of it.
81 have heard him, to my terror" says
Prof. Thorpe, Elm the cours of a con-
versation gradually copy the tones and
infections of a mans voice, and have
seen him reproduce his manner to his
very face" In such cases there was
no consciousness of what was being
done in the mind of the mimic, or on
the part Of the person initiated, and
Prof. Thorpe believes the origin Of the
unintended mimicry was sympathy
alone.-Youth's Companion.

With sudden desperation she went
close to him and tore the handkerchief

My face is disigured for life! Howl
you do not shrink from me? Oh, my
God!"
Instead of the shrinking she had ex-
pected, instead of the words her mind
had framed, his arm had slipped
around her waist, he was drawing her
closely to him, and she heard him say:
"What does it matter If you love
me? What is your face, Agnes? It is
not for your face I have loved you;

With a sharp cry she turned and
looked into his eyes and saw in a fash
that the light had gone out of them
forever. Then passionately she threw
her arms around his neck, pressed a
hot kiss upon his lips and bent his
head down upon her bosom, heaving
like the waves of the sea.

InrVelS OF corn Cultures
Corn breeding is modification Of
live stock breeding and follows the
same general laws and principles. 1t
is the application of principles of plant
and animal breeding to the corn plant.
The per cent of sugar in the sugar beet
has been increased from 3 per cent to
1G per cent. The ordinary beet was
improved by seed selection, so that an
enormous industry has been built up
and new source Of sugar given to
the world. This has been done with n
plant which seeds once In two years.
Corn produces a crop every year, n
single seed producing n return of over
thousand fold. From this great num-
Der of offspring, varying in size, shape,
color and composition, a selection can
be made which will develop any fea-
ture of the seed or plant. BY contin-
ued selection these valuable attributes
can be fixed in the characteristics of
the plant and the usefulness and i'm
portance of the crop increased. To IL
.lustrate the point: We have been able,
by selecting ears having long shanks,
to increase the length of the shank
nearly two feet in five years selection.
By selecting ears with tall stalks we
have been able to increase the height
of the stalk almost three feet in five
years. BY selecting ears from plants
having wide leaves we have been able
to increase the average width Of the
leaf, and by selecting ears from stalks
having narrow leaves we have been
able to decrease the width of the leaf.

Surgery Seven Hundred Years Ago

Surgery Seven Hundred Years Ago
Surgical operations were performed
on the human skull in America 200
years before the coming of Columbus,
says the Toledo Blade. The work was
done in those early days with the aid
of shells and flint hatchets. Many
skulls have been discovered in Peru
which illustrate the methods of these
early surgeons. From the appearance
of the skull it is also evident that n
considerable proportion of these ope-
rated upon lived afterward.
This trephining was probably per-
formed to save the lives of those who
had received serious wound from a
club or stone. Considering that the
surgeons of those early days worked
with nothing more effective than sharp
shells or flint knives. the work is eX-
ceedlngly creditable. Human skulls
also have been found in Europe, dat
ing back to prehistoric times, In the
South Sea Islands the operation was
often performed with the saIoe print
tive implements. The local surgeons
not only trephlne in the case of frac-
lures, but as a cure for epilepsy and
certain forms of insanity. Trephining
is also performed In this primitive
way even as a cure for headache.

Gra.. or Grim Cutter.

We present an illustration of new
lawn mover. which hns several novel
features to recommend 1t over the
mowers already in the field. The man
who cuts the grass will remember that
every time he lets the work go too
long 1t was necessary to run the
mower over some parts of the lawn
several times before all the long blades
were down, or else leave the lawn
with ragged appearance. The prln-
cipal advantage of this new machine is
that, no matter how long the grass
gets, the first cutting will bring 1t all
down to the common level; in fact, the
longer the grass the better the cutters
will work. AS will be seen, the cut
tiers are circular, toothed wheels, re-
volving in horizontal planes and actu-
ated by gear wheels set on the inner
ends of the drive-wheel shafts. These
cutters are in reality nothing but set
of circular saws, and their action is
exactly the same, saving the grass
blades off as the mower is pushed over
the lawn. The saw spindles are pro.
vided with ball bearings, thus re.
ducing the friction to minimum, and

Variety in Feed for uor...

Oats and hay are the recognized feed
for horses and, undoubtedly, If one
is confined to but two kinds of feed
these are better than any others. 1t
should be remembered, however, that
horses are quite rs partial to variety
as cows, and If given more or less
change in their foods will do better
work and without any more expense.
An occasional feed Of roots is benefi-
cial, as is also a weekly feed of bran
Is mash. In feeding grain ration
good results come from scattering it
over cut hay after wettlng the fodder.
This is better than to feed the hay
uncut and the grain separately, and es-
pecially If clover hay, which is dusty,
Is used. 1t is a good plan to cut up
about one-half Of the hay ration to feed
with the grain in the manner suggest
ed, leaving the balance uncut, to be
fed afterward, and give the animal
something to keep it busy. An occa-
sional feed of corn either on the cob or
shelled also adds to the variety, but
