In Corn Breeding.

Below are some of the rules adopt
ed by the Illinois Corn Breeders:
l. Selection Of seed ears.
(a) Every ear of corn to be consid>
cred as possible seed ear for the
breeding plot must be selected in the
field and with special reference to
the character of the individual corn
plant upon which it is produced.
90 Every ear which lis ultimatel,
selected for the breeding plot must
conform as nearly as possible in ap-
pearance and physical measurements
to definite and desirable standards.
(c) If the seed corn is selected BY
mechanical examination only OF Sec
lions of kernels for improvement in
composition, the efficiency OF the Sc
lection shall be determined by the
chemical analysis of at least two com.
posite samples, of which one sample
shall represent all selected ears which
are planted in the breeding plot, and
the other sample shall represent all
ears which are rejected by the me-
chanical examination.
Ia II the seed corn is selected by
chemical analysis for Improvement in
composition, the composition must be
determined Of each individual seed
ear which is planted in the breeding
plot.
2. The Breeding Plot.
(a) The breeding plot shall con
tain at least rs rows of corn which
are at least 100 hills long.
co Each separate row of corn in
the breeding plot shall be planted
with separate individual ear.
(c) All rows which show as on
whole marked inferiority and also ev-
cry individual corn plant which may
show marked inferiority, in whatever
row it may be found, shall be careful
ly detasseled before the pollen ma
lures.
(d) The performance record of each
individual field row shall be deter
mined and this shall include an &C
curate determination of the total
weight of ear corn which the row
produces.

Women and Spoons.

The managers of the Athletic club
of this city, taking account OF stock
after their Japanese fete," which was
the attraction of the regular ladies
day." found that not only 237 sprigs of
artificial apple and chrysanthemum
blossoms had disappeared from The
decorations, as well as an unknown
number of miniature vases and bits
of bric-a-brac, but that in round num-
bers 200 spoons were lacking. It is
significant that this property disap-
peared on ladies day" 1t is still
more significant that men have no
use for decorative adjuncts, for vases,
for bits of china, for small bric-a-brac
or for spoons. The inference is una
voidable. All this must have been
feminine plumber; perhaps, more po-
litely speaking, feminine perquisites.

The coneuerors.

The Conuucrors.
We come. as OWNED by the scers,
To rescue the world in it's need,
Our dauntless American breed,
Elect Of the infinite spheres.
To Latin. to Teuton. to Hun
Our portals are wide-open thrown,
The natives Of every zone
May share in the miracles DONE
The Christian. the Gentle, and Jew
Shall here in fraternity dwell;
The problems Of heaven and hell
Shall veX not people who Do.
We feel that the clashing OF creeds,
Brings publication Of thought:
Come. years with activity fraught,
Come conflict and Titanic deeds!
OH architects, ponder and plan.
Oh, builders, rear temples on high!
What If in the toll you should die
IT'S all for the glory of Man.
If sometimes to falter we seem
Our faith then shall lustier grow;
We laugh at all barriers; we know
The triumphant fate of our dream
Our fleets shall churn every sea.
Our banners. in regions remote
Shall over revived peoples float,
And give them a new liberty.
March on! We are. the world pioneers
March on Fen Tomorrow we may
Reform the reforms Of to-day!
So be it. through measureless years.

QUIT AND EAT.
Some Coffee Tables.

.erested.
Coffee is the one greatest enemy OF
fair women, for in the most of cases
1T directly affects the stomach, pro-
ducing slight, and sometimes great
congestion of the liver and therefore
causing the bile to be absorbed into
the system instead of going it's nat
Eral way. The result is a sallow,
muddy skin, and train of diseases Of
the different organs of the body
which, in all to many cases, develop
INTO chronic diseases.
A lady speaking of how coffee az
fected her says: II was very fond Of
coffee but while drinking it was UNI
der the care OF doctor most of the
time for liver trouble, and was COM
PEELED to take blue mass a great deal
Of the time. My complexion was bad
and had pain in my side steadily,
probably in the liver.
When I concluded to quit coffee
and take Postum Food Coffee had
it made carefully and from the very
fTst cup We liked the taste Of it bet.
ser than any of the old coffee.
I'm short time the pain left my
side and my friends began to COM
ment on the change in my complexion
and general looks. | have never seen
anything equal to the good got from
making this change
"A young lawyer in Philadelphia
named -, whose life was almost a
burden from Indigestion and It's train
of evils, quit coffee some months ago
and began on Postum Food Coffee.
He quickly recovered and is now well,
strong and cheerful and naturally
loud in his praises Of Postum.
Another friend, an old gentleman
of seventy, named 49,, who for years
suffered ~ one could suffer and live,
from Dyspepsia, and who sometimes
for weeks could eat no bfead OF. solid
food, only a little weak Cruel or milk,
quilt coffee upon my recommendation
and took up Postum. He began to get
at once. Now he can eat rich
or whatever he likes and II
iy well.

A Case Of misunderstanding.

Two devoted lovers, George and
Lizzie, were crossing the fields ap-
preaching the pretty town of Bethle-
hem, Pa. The sounds of the grass
hoppers and the katydids filled the air
as they came in sight of church. 1t
was Sunday morning and the congre-
CATION was singing melodious hymn.
Lizzie heard it, but GeoSge did not,
and she said:
ooh, George, isn't that beautiful"
He, thinking she referred to the
katydids, replied:
: Eyes; and they are doing all that
with their hind legs. Philadelphia

Thirty-eght Thousand Dollars Paid
for Remarkable Fabric


for Remarkable Fabric.
Thirty-eight thousand dollars waa
The price paid for a Persian rug al
the auction sale in New York of the
art collections of the late Henry G..
Marquand. The rug was woven in
the fifteenth century as a gift from
the Pasha of Persia to the Sultan Of
Turkey, for the record held by Mr..
Marquand showed that it had been
found among the effects of the Sui
tan Abdul Aziz after his DEATH.
Aside from the marvellous color ant
texture, which is over five hundred
knots to the square inch, the feature
OF the rug is that the inscriptions
throughout it's border, as well as ara
oesques in the medallions of the
design, are woven in silver thread.
1t is companion piece for tn,
famous carpet owned by the Prince
Alexis Lobanow Rostowslly, which
was shown in the Vienna Museums
exhibition in 1889. The Rostowsky
rug was supposed to be without a
parallel in the world, but this carpet,
the most highly valued among the
textile treasures of Mr.. Marquand.
contains positive internal er-;dence
that it was made upon the same
looms and in the same perioI, and
doubtless for the same purpose as
that of Prince LObanow, which also
passed into the possession of its
present owner directly from the ser.
aglio in Constantinople. So far as
can be ascertained this carpet is the
highest class oriental fabric now in
existence in this country.
