Corn Alone Achieves a Conquest.

A London special to the New York

is misled in his idea of relative crops
because he makes wheat his standard
and wheat is the staple food of only a
minority of the worlds inhabitants
Over half Europe subsists on rye and
barley. Even taking wheat as the
standard, the total crop of the new
world in the boom year 1899 was but
734 100000 bushels against 100000

Austria alone grows six times as much
rye as the United States Europe pro-

sixty times as much rye as the whole
new world, and its crops of both are
seven times the total wheat crop of
North and South America. The only
American cereal to achieve q world

On late winter day we watched a
chickadee on a lively hunt up and
down an apple tree after something to
eat. There was not bug or an insect
in sight, but we found he was after the
little clusters of insect eggs, waiting
only the warmth of spring to develop
into some form of our insect pests. If
we had more chickadees, we would
have better apples.

The apple tree blight, which was SO
common last year. is of bacterial orr
gin, for which it is useless to spray.
The only available remedy seems to be
the cutting off of the blighted limbs
below the point of infection and burn
ing them up. Wet seasons superinduce
blight more than dry ones, and espe-
cially should certain varieties of apple
trees, such as the Transcendent crab
and the Tetofsky, both good apples. be
kept out of the orchard, as the disease
is certainly spread by infection.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Zones, Alum, Flint and Sulphuric
Acid for Raising Bread.

1Iousekeepers have recently been so
licited by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
powder-"cheaper and just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme of
some baking powder manufacturer to
get new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer a large profit. House
keepers are not usually much benefited
By such changes. Alum baking pow
ders are generally low priced, but they
are well known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed of
sharp-pointed grains of ground flint
and sulphuric acid
Most of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum. The manu-
facturer of phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the prinei-
pal ingredient of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged experimenters in food within
their doors, and when buying baking
powder should get brand well known
to be made of cream of tartar, which is
healthful product of the grape.

The Highest Court.

In Colorado is a small town, which
has the distinction of being away up
above the Cripple Creek, as well as
5000 feet above sea level.

Gladstone's Closing Years.

Early in the SOS, when he lived in
Harley street, Mr. Gladstone often
walked from his house to Westminster
by the way of Regent street and Pail
Mall, and it was on one of these oc-
casionns, in the yellow dusk of win
try afternoon, that | saw him for the
first time Even the few in the crowd
who did not know him were arrested
by the rare distinction of his appear
ance, which suggested both power and
benevolence. Apparently in the prime
Of life, though actually beyond it, and
with a figure of supple strength and
more than common height, his face
pallid but luminous, he bore himself
with that dignity and grace which no
bles and princes do not always inherit
and the leaders of men can not al
ways acquire. There was in him "a
combination and form, indeed, To
give the world assurance of a man."
Other distinguished people might be
mistaken for something less than they
are-the late Lord Salisbury, for in
stance, or Lord Rosebery-but it was
whether one knew him or not, with
out recognizing in him man both I'M
usual and paramount. Those among
the passers who did not know him
gazed and wondered; the others whis-
pered his name, and many of them,
after passing him once, turned in their
path and doubled on it for the sake of
passing him again.
Soon after this it was my privilege
to become acquainted with him per-
sonally, and frequent correspondence
between us ensued, leading to occa-
sional visits TO Hawarden, which, l
need not say, made red-letter days for
me and were looked forward to with
no less appreciation than the memory
of them justified when they were
over.
His urbanity had an old-world quail
ity of courtliness without the chill of
ceremoniousness, and the visitor was
quickly made to feel that he was an OBJ
ject of friendly interest and considered
rather than the recipient of honors and
privileges, ready as he properly might
lie to see himself only on that footing.

THREE CLEVER FISHES.
One Lures Its Prey; Another Shoots
Third Uses Main Force.


All fishes do not have sharp
weapons with which to keep off
their enemies or to use in catching
other fishes for themselves, SO ma
ture, which looks after all things,
teaches them little tricks which
they use to great advantage, says
the Washington Star.
There is one fish who hides him
self in the mud at the bottom of
the big rivers in India, where he
makes his home, and just peeps
his head out to see what is going
on. Now this fish has q kind of
beard growing on his lips. The
hairs of the beard keep wiggling
about In the water and the little
fishes think that surely they are
worms. All little fishes are very
greedy, so when they see these
hairs they say to themselves
ooh, here are some fine worms,
let's have party" Up they
swim and begin to nibble at the
hairs; but the fish who is in the
mud gobbles them up and the lit
tie ones do not have any party.
There is another kind of fish who
shoots flies and little bugs. He
twists his mouth until it is lust
like pop-gun and he uses drop
of water instead of bullet.
When he sees a fly sitting on a
leaf near the waters edge he takes
aim very carefully, then pop. and
Mr.. Fly finds himself knocked into
the water, only to be eaten by the
fish who has shot him.
Still another strange fish lives
In the sea. He is called the suck
ing fish. When he sees anything
he likes very much he simply fas-
tens himself to it by means of Il
kind of plate on his head. He is
so strong that nothing can pull
him away.
The people who live near the
coast of Africa use this fish to
catch turtles. They tie strong
cord to his tail and put him in the
water near the place where the
turtle is asleep. If they go too
near the turtle will wake up and
swim away, but the sucking fish
always catches him and holds on
so hard that the men in the boat
pull in fish, turtle and all. So you
see this fish is very useful.

just returned from trip abroad and
had asked concerning the whereabouts
of the party aforesaid. How did it
nappen?"

at the bottom of ii" replied the dis
penser of information. "He stole lot
of money in order to be able to mar
ry"
well, I'm sorry for the poor fellow, !"
rejoined the O. g., but they did
wrong in sending him to the penitenti-
