Testing Seed Corn.

Forest Henry, writing to the North
western Agricuiturist, says; My
method is to shell off several kernels
from great number of ears, and
scatter them in pan partially filled
with dirt. A wooden clotn is then
laid over the corn and an inch or
more of dirt put on top of the cloth.
The pan is then we'll wet down and
set in a room where the temperature
is fairly warm. After four or five
days the cloth can be pulled back
and every kernel of corn seen. At
least ninety.fve per cent should be
we'll sprouted. I should hate to risk
lower per cent than this. Remem-
Der that under ordinary field condi-
tions, rare y as great per cent grows
as when it is tested in the house
under more favorable circumstances.
Really good seed corn is going to be
high and scarce the coming season.
Hence the necessity for securing it
early.

THE SEXUAL Difference.
1t Is the Most Fundamental Fact In
the Social Order.

the Social Order.
The first and most patent fact in
the family is the difference in the
sexes. Out of this difference the
family is created; in this difference
the family finds it's sweet and sacred
bond. This difference is not merely
physical and incidental; it is also
psychical ard essential. It inheres
in the temperament. It is inbred
in the very fiber of the soul. It diff
ferentiates the functions. 1t deter
mines the relation between man and
woman. 1t fixes their mutual serv-
Ice and their mutual obligations.
Man is not woman in a different
case. Woman is not man inhabit-
ing temporarily different kind of
body. Man is not rough and tum-
bic woman. Woman is not a feeble
and pliable man. This essential diff
ference in the sexes is the first and
fundamental fact in the family. It
is therefore the first and funda-
mental fact in society, which is but
large family.
These twain are not identical.
They do not duplicate each other.
Man is not an inferior woman. Wo-
man is not an inferior man. They
are different in nature, in tempera>
ment, in function. We cannot de-
stroy this difference if we would.
We would not if we could. In pre-
serving it lies the joy of the family,
the peace, prosperity and well being
of society. If man attempts wom-
ans function he will prove himself
but an inferior woman. If woman
attempts mans function she will
prove herself but an inferior man.
This distinction between the sexes
inherent, temperamental, func-
tional-is universal and perpetual.
1t underlies the family, which could
not exist if this difference did not
exist. It is to DO taken account of
IN all socisi problems-problems of
industrial organization, religious Or
ganization, political organization.
Should society ever forget it, it would
forget the most fundamental fact in
the social order, the fact on which
is built the whole superstructure of
society.-Rev. Lyman Abbott in A.
iaptie.

Pawnshop Oddities.

At the Paris Mont de Pete are an
empire clock pawned in 1885 for
$50, an old silver lid pawned seventy
years ago and bit of lace pawned
seventy-fve years ago for half a

contract has been religiously re-
newed every year by somebody. But
the oldest of these oddities is COM

CONGRESSMAN Hepburn's Seat.

Congressman Hepburn of Iowa is
nearly always unlucky in drawing
a seat, but of late years he has been
able to retain his old seat, the mem
Der drawing it always exchanging
with him. When he first entered
the house he drew about the worst
seat in the lot. AS he sat down
there he was grumbling inwardly
over his bad luck, when he looked
across the hall and saw the discon-
solate face of the man whom he had
beaten for the nomination and
whom he succeeded in congress,
Then he thought, 'I'll bet that fell
low would be satisfied with even
this seat, and at once ceased to feel
bad about his luck.

Gloves Are Flowers.

Cloves are the unopened flower of
u small evergreen tree that resem-
bles in appearance the laurel or the
bay. 1t is a native of the Malacca
or Spice islands, but has been car
ried to all the warmer parts of the
world, and it is now cultivated in
the tropical regions of America.
The flowers are small in size, and
grow in large numbers in clusters
to the very end of the branches.
The cloves we use are the flowers
gathered before they are opened
and while they are still green.
After being gathered they are
smoked by a wood fire and Their
dried in the sun.
Each Glove consists of two parts
of round head, which are the four
petals or leaves of the flower rolled
up, inclosing number of small
stalks or filaments; the other part
of the Glove is terminated with four
points, and is, in fact, the flower
cup of the unripe seed vessel. All
these parts may be distinctly seen
if few cloves are soaked for q
short time in hot water, when the
leaves of the flower soften and un.
roll.

A Heroic Model,

A remarkable story is being told
about M. Captier, the famous Paris
sculptor, whose tragic death took
place recently. He wanted a model
whose feet were perfect for his
statue of Venus and experienced
great difficulty in getting one. When
he did succeed in this, he found that
the lady could not sit for him, as
she was engaged at other studios.
She, however, offered to have her
feet cut off if M. Captier would buy
an annuity for her aged mother.
Needless to say, the sculptor had to
refuse this offer, much to the ap-
parent regret of the plucky model.

An Ants Brain,

The creature which Solomon ad-
vised the sluggard to consult in re-
gard to a bit of information con-
corning the art of ''hustling" has a
brain larger in proportion to the
size of it's body than any other
known being. Writers on that
branch of entomology declare that
ants are not only endowed with a
high quality of instinct, but that
they display reasoning ability and
good judgment, as well as powers Of
reflection and calculation.

A NEST BUILDING FISH.
The Stickleback Makes His Own Home
and Guards the Eggs.

and Guards the Eggs.
The best known example of nest
building by fishes is that of the
stickleback. When the breeding
season approaches the male begins
to look around in search of suita-
bic site for his nest. AS soon as
such is found he begins operations
by carrying water weeds and various
other suitable debris to the spot.
These are to form the foundation.
lie lays them down carefully and
strews over them little sand, which
he brings in his mouth. Nature
has not left him unprovided with
cement, and in proof of this the
next step is to glue the materials
together, which is accomplished by
the little creature drawing it's body
over the structure and depositing a
mucus, which seems to harden in
the water.
This is not the only means taken
to insure the stability of the founda-
ton. After the cement has been
applied the fish may be seen driving
by means of its powerful fins cur
rents of water against it, which is
evidently for the purpose of finding
if weak place exists in it. Should
a grain of sand or piece Of weed
become displaced it is Immediately
restored to it's position and firmly
cemented. Sometimes, in order to
try the strength Of the structure
still more vigorously, the fish hurls
itself against it, and this not once,
but repeatedly.
The foundation once completed,
the next operation is to collect ma
terials, chiefly pieces of straw, roots,
leaves, etc., and build the walls of
the nest. The object Of the little
builder is to build barrel shaped
structure, with the inside as smooth
as possible. The stickleback is as
fnicky as the proverbial old maid,
and as result the process Of Sc
lection and rejection sometimes
goes on for days and at other times
is finished in a few hours. In the
case of the smooth tailed stickle-
back the materials are placed in a
longitudinal position. The process
of cementing after the structure is
raised is long and laborious one
and is not finished until the whole
structure is perfectly sound and sta
bic from an aquatic point of view.
Two apertures are constructed in
the nest, one for ingress and the
other for egress. They are quite
smooth and symmetrical and offer
no opposition to the passage of the
fish.
AS soon as the nest is completed |
to the satisfaction Of Master Site
kleback he begins to cast his eyes
around for suitable mate, and, sad
to relate, he is most inveterate
polygamist. When he discovers an
unattached attractive female he |
persuades her in the most courtly |
fashion to enter the beautiful hab-
itation he has constructed. After
she enters he keeps her there until
she has deposited her eggs, when he
fertilizes them and then gives her
her congo in no uncertain manner.
After getting rid Of No. 1 he pro-
ceeds to hunt up another wife, with
whom he goes through the same op-
grafton, and so on until he has had
six or sever in all. He then devotes
Ill of his time to guarding the eggs
in his nest until the young are
hatched out and have attained an
age at which they can shift for
themselves.-New York Tribune.

Merger Decision Reversed.

The United States supreme court
has decided the case of the state of
Minnesota versus the Northern Sc
curities company and the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern Railway COM
panies, involving the validity of the
merger of the railroad companies,
holding that the lower court was with
out Jurisdiction and reversing it's opin-
ion. Justice Harlan, who delivered
the opinion, said that the circuit court
should not have entertained jurisdic-
ton in the case, the effect being to re-
mand the case to the state.
In delivering the opinion of the
court, Justice Harlan cited the facts
bearing upon the origin and history
OF the case, saying that originally the
suit was instituted by the state in its
own court, but that before an opinion
could be reached there it was, on Pc
tition of the Securities company, trans
ferred to the circuit court for the dis
trict of Minneapolis by which court it
was dismissed. Much controversy
arose over the right to remove to the
federal court, and after hearing the
case argued once the supreme court
ordered a second hearing on that
point.
