Corn SIX Bought from Foreign Coun-
tries Because Oar Farmers
Throw It Away.

One Of the most curious Of our
imports is corn silk. 1t is curious
because inasmueh as this is the
great corn growing country of the
world, we ought surely to have a
plentiful supply of the silk with
out obtaining it from abroad.
Nevertheless, says the Philadcl
phia Post, it is Il fact That many
tons Of it are shipped from Eu-
rope TO the United States every
year. The reason is simply that
or. farmers have no idea that
corn silk possesses any value.
They throw it away and SO it
comes about that dealers in this
country are obliged to depend on
the foreign product for their sup.
ply. Corn silk is useful as a drug
material. 1t comes hither in
dried condition. and is utilized by
the drug makers either by so..king
it in alcohol. which absorbs its
virtue, or by extracting from it its
active principle, maizenic acid,
onc-eighth of a grain of which is a
medical dose. The acid is sup
posed to be an excellent diuretic.

In China an Elaborate Ceremony
Usually Follows the Great
Event.

On the evening of the first day
after the baby has arrived the
paterfamilias, according to the
Chinese custom, prostrates him.
self before a joss, and, touching
his head to the floor, voices thanks
to the gods and to the honorable
ancestors for the small son who
was sent perfect of body and full
of health.
On the evening of the second
day the ceremony is repeated, and
on the third day the voice of the
wife joins that of the husband in
| Thanksgiving. Also on the third
day a limited number of relatives
and friends are called into wit
ness the first head shave. The
rooms of the home are decorated
for the occasion with green
branches of either fir, cedar or
spruce, to insure fueng-suey, or
good luck, to the house.
Other Ornamentations in honor
of the baby are long silk threads,
bearing little circles, squares and
hearts of gold and scarlet paper.
These are festooned from the
walls and are hung from the CELL
ing.
\ few feet away the threads are
invisible and the gay scraps of
paper appear to be floating in the
air. For the head-shaying the
guests are seated in a semi-cirele
before the joss. The mother is car
ried to seat Of honor to the right
OF the joss, and the baby,
swathed in yards of scarlet and
purple silk, is brought in on an
elaborate pillow.

THEY SPANK THE BABIES.
When the Little Ones Fall Into the
Canals in Holland That
Ks the Cure.


The Dutch peasant lives with
canals all about him, and reaches
his cottage by way of Il draw
bridge. Perhaps it is in the blood
of the Dutch child, says a writer in
London II. \. F., not 10 fall into /.
canal. AT all events the Dutch
mother nerer appears TO antici-
pate such a possibility.
One can imagine the average
English or. American mother try.
ing to bring up family in a house
surrounded by canals. She would
never have a moments peace until
the children were in bed. But then
the mere sight of canal TO the
English child suggests The delight
of a sudden and unexpected bath.
An Englishman inquired of Il
Dutch woman: DOCS a Dutrh
child ever by any chance fall into
Il canal?"
Eyes she replied, "cases have
been known"
Don't you 20 anything for 2"
continued the questioncr.
''Oh, yes" she answered. I'VE
haul them out again."
'.But what | mean is, explained
the Englishman, don't you do
anything to prevent their falling
in? To save them from falling in
again?"
Yes she answered, "we spank
them."

WHERE LIE VS. r-..Av...i.
Such Thing as Bed on Public
Platform Could Not Be
Tolerated.

The dramatic company was
stranded in small New England
town, hopelessly stranded. The
manager had gone with the insig-
nificant receipts of the last per.
Torrance. The costumes and az
.cessories were in the hands of
creditors. 1t fell on the leading
man to get the company out of the
hole by arranging some sort of a
benefit, relates the New York
Tribune.
He finally found ladies' aid
society of one of the churches to
take the management of per-
centage performance. All went
we'll until they asked the name OF
the play. Now camille was thu.
only play the company could give
without costumes, and Camille"
was the leading mans answer.
There was much grave shaking Of
heads and the ladies' aid was
racked with doubts. Finally they
gave their consent, and a re-
hearsal was ordered.
"We will have to have bed for
the lady to die on" the leading
man explained to the women who
were helping him at the opera
house.
"A bedw they cried. "a bed on
the public PLATFORM Though he
explained that a bed was needed
for the death scene, they insisted
on substituting a couch. A bed,
they said, was not proper in a pub

ing man, when he told the story
the other day on Broadway.

Dog Had Bad Habit of killing Them,
But Reformed and Became
Foster-Father.

Jack was a beautiful Irish set
ter that was devoted to his little
mistress, Mary. He had one very
bad habit: He would kill chick
ems. The ranchmen all around
threatened to shoot Jack if they
caught him, and Mary was much
distressed, relates the Chicago
Record Herald.
One rainy day in the early
spring a farm hand brought into
the house number of dear little
chickens, just out of the shell, and
placed them on the hearth before
the fire. The tiny, fluffy waits were
chilled through and through and
their little legs were icy cold.
Mary like the good little house
wife she. was, suddenly conceived
the brilliant idea of filling a bas.
ket with raw cotton, SO as to make
the small strangers a nice, com
Portable bed, and, without though:
of leaving them alone, started
briskly upstairs to the garnet, and
soon returned with q hamper pad
ded with warm, white cotton.
Imagine her horror, however,
when, upon entering the room, she
discovered Jack lying lazily in
front of the fire and not a chicken
in sight.
The little girl was sick with
fright, for she knew they had been
Matched from very expensive eggs
of a particular breed and that Ger
father would scold her for her
carelessness.
Jack" she cried, severely,
what have you done with those
chickens?"
Jack merely wagged his tail and
looked at her with one ear cooked.
Mary slowly approached the cul-
prit,' with deep frown on her
face and continued:
IF you have eaten those chick
ems, Your master will have to
shoot you"
At this terrible threat the dog
only wagged his tail all the harder
and cooked both ears. just then
came a faint peep! peepw from
somewhere near the fire, and the
dog looked knowing.
And where do you suppose those
baby chickens were hiding? Be
tween the settlers two great fore
paws, and all up under his soft,
silky hair. When his mistress had
left the room, Jack evidently
thought they needed care and con-
sidered it his duty to play nurse
during her absence, so no
stretched himself in front of the
fire and gathered the wee, fluffy
balls together under his warm fur,
and now and again a tiny yellow
head WAS thrust forth for min
ute, to be. withdrawn and tucked
ont ofsight. Mary concluded that
the basket was not needed just
then, and put it aside.
