IMPLANTED CORN.
1t Has a Habit of Getting Uneasy In
the Spring.


1T beats ALL" said Bergen county
farmer, what curious things we find in
nature that we can't explain. You kin
go over a lot of 'em, and there's yet
one that you can't tell me why it is.
That's corn heatin up in the spring.
You take n lot of corn. / don't care
if it's whole corn or cracked corn or
cornmeal. You keep ii in any kind of
storehouse-the common granary, like
we have on the farms. or the stone or
brick buildin', like many of the gro
GERS and feed dealers have it in. When
it comes corn plantin' time, that corn
of yOurn III git Uneasy. SOon's the
blades start out of the ground, then
you'll have to hustle to save your grain.
Seems as when the time comes along
fur corn to be planted the corn in the
bags, no matter 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-
mer, no matter how hot the weather
gifts. It's jest when the planted corn
starts; that's all.
Curious? OF course it's curious or
1 wouldn't speak of it. l might under
stand how whole corn would act that
way, but when it comes to cracked corn
and cornmeal then it's too much fur
me. And I'll bet you can't tell why it
is, 'cept it's jest nature tryin' to assert
herself."-New York Mail and Express.

BIRMINGHAM PICTURES.

They Were Mere Paper, but They
subducd the Artist Turner.
| Turner, the great landscape painter,
was a curious mixture of parsimony
and generosity, determined money
grabbing and unreckoning devotion to
his art. He would drive a hard bar
gain one day and the next refuse to
sell at any price. Intending purchas-
ers were sometimes excluded from his
gallery, and the refusal of admission
was communicated in anything bue O
polite manner
Mr.. elliott, the wealthy pen manu-
faeturer of Birmingham, once proved
himself equal to the task of storming
the castle in the teeth of the gruff art
list and his doorkeeper and achieving d
bargain. A book on Turner gives the
story
MIR. elliott was met at the door OF
Turner's house by an old woman, who
opened the door and asked the gentle
mans business.
Cant let e in!' she snapped out,
when he told her, and tried to slam the
door.
But Mr.. elliott had put his foot in
Slut the UOOF anu WITHOUT Willing LOT
permission pushed past the enraged
janitress and hurried upstairs to the
gallery. Turner met him like a spider
whose web has been invaded. The in
truder introduced himself and said
that he had come to buy.
Don't want to sellr' was the an
swer
Have you seen our Birmingham pic
lures, Mr.. Turner" inquired the visit
or, as calmly as if he had been received
as u gentleman should be.
Never heard of en- said Turner.
Mr. elliott took from his pocket some
Birmingham bank notes.
Mere paper" remarked Turner, who
evidently enjoyed the joke.
ITO be bartered for mere canvass"
said the visitor, waving his hand to in
dictate the paintings on the wall. His
tone-perhaps also the sight of the
mere paper'-conquered Turner, and
when the visitor departed he had bar
gained for several valuable pictures.

Alligators move rapidly under water,

sharks and alligators and banged the

Recent experiments, by practical
tests and examination with the aid
of the X-Ray, establish it as fact
that Catarrh of the Stomach is not
a disease in itself, but that il is a
condition resulting from repeated
attacks of indigestion.
The stomach and alimentary
canal. or digestive tract, is lined or
coated with a mucous membrane.
Studding the surface of this mucous
membrane are the gastric glands.
Here, also. are the terminal branches
of the pneumogastric nerves, and
