Look After Your Seed Corn.

The matter of seed corn is seem
ingly somewhat out of question.
But, like tobacco, seed corn is a
twelve months crop. Therefore,
all seasons are suitable for seed
corn talk; especially to those who
take some pains to improve their
corn. The corn crop as it now
stands in the field, is far enough
along in growth to enable one to
pass judgment on the individual
plants.
Improvement in plants of all
kinds is brought about by the Sc
lection of the beet plants for
.mether ;rs plants !" also i 5y rogueing
or culling out the worst or the
most undesirable plants. The
seed corn patch, or that part of the
corn field which has been set apart
to grow the seed corn for the next
year, should now be gone over and
all undesirable plants chopped out.
There are the weakly, spindling
plants, which, if they ever do
bear an ear, will be pulled down
by its weight. Out with them
Then, there are the understood
plants. They should be cut down
as should also those with short
leaves and with narrow, ribbon like
leaves. A broad, long leaf is a
good indication of constitution and
thrift. Plants respond to those
little extra attentions quite as
much as animals do. This thor
ough care is necessary part of

AssAssIN's CAREFUL PLANS.

M. Won Plehve was always appre-
hensive of attemnnts rro: lis lie lie
and used to drive as rapidly as pos
sible. The coachman, however, was
compelled to go slow at this point
on account of crowded traffic.
The assassin in laying his plans
evidently foresaw this circumstance
and, while the Minister'S coachman
slowed down, threw the bomb.
The Minister'S servant. who was
also on the carriage box, was badly
wounded.

Judge Piatt Orders Him to Return Tax
 on Certain Estates.
 Hartford. March 10.--Judge Platt, in the United States circuit court, handed down decision to-day Sustaining the demurrer filed by the defense in actions brought by the executors of the estates of John Nicholas Brown, late of New port, R. l., and Walter A. Peck, late of Providence, against w. Frank Kinney, collector of internal revenue, to recover the amount of inheritance taxes already paid. Exception is made in the decis- ion in one instance, in which the tax on one item of $1O0,O0O in the Brown estate is ordered to be returned on the ground that this item was not liable to tax. The total amount paid on the Brown estate was $29, ,791.S7 on residuary es- tate of .s1,224,0S3.7 A tax amounting to $2,679.57 was paid on the estate of Walter A. Peck on valuation of $4OO,- 900.

POSTAL INVESTIGATION.
Repuhlican Leaders tn House Hnstity
 Arrange n Plan.


 Washington. March 10-The republi- can leaders in the House have hastily arranged 8 plan for an investigation of the connection of members of that body with the postoffice department. This investigation if successful is to be conducted by a special committee to be appointed by the speaker. It will have authority to inquire into the full details of every representation which has been made to the postoffice depart ment by members of the House of Rep resentatives. Each member whose case is taken up by the committee will be given an opportunity to be heard. Tn. this way, it is believed thta the injus- tice which members feel has been done them by the publication of the report from the department, may be remedied.
 The indignation at the publication of the report has by no means subsided, and the general belief is thta had a vote been taken during the session yes- terday the democratic proposition for full investigation of the while postofflce department would have prevailed. This plan has not been abandoned by the minority and when the republican pro- position is presented an effort will be made to amend it by adding provision for the sweeping investigation which the democrats think should be made.
