A B,n That Never Passed.

Congressmen sometimes adopt queer
expedients to gain the good will of
their constituents. Years ago men,
Der from a western state was very
much afraid he would be knocked out
in the approaching campaign. He had
not managed to make himself power
ia congress. In fact, his constituents
had never heard of him doing any
thing besides voting with his party
when his name was called and draw
ing his salary. He was desperate.
Something must be done to please his
people at home or he would be buried
cut of sight. A bright young woman
to whom he had described his troubles
said to him:
you live near the center of the
United States, don't you:"
Eyes"
"Then why don't you introduce q
bill to have the capitol moved to the
principal town in your district?"
''The very thing"
And he introduced the bill. 1t work
ed to charm. The people of his dis.
trict at once concluded he was great
man and with much enthusiasm sent
him back for another term, so that he
might press his removal bill and Sc
cure its passage. In the next con-
gress he reintroduced the same meas
ure, and, though it was promptly
pigeonholed in the committee room
and of course he never got chance to
make speech on 1t, his people stood
by him and gave him third term as
1 reward for his genius.

THE POWDER WORKED.
An Invention That Proved Too Much
of n Success.

An Invention That Proved Too Much
of N Success.
A certain inventor once hit upon the
happy device of desiccating eggs. He
turned dozens and dozens of eggs into
a powder that you might carry in
pill box. All you had to do when you
wanted an omelet or scramble was to
drop a pinch Of the powder into water.
A teaspoonful Of the stuff would swell
up to fill q quart tin, and half cup
full would be enough for the meal of a
company on the march. Now, this in
ventor by diligent effort succeeded In
making himself known to a great man
in a European country, a man who
moves armies by the crooking Of
finger, so to speak. The great man
was delighted with the desiccated egg
scheme, and a box of the powder was
sent to him SO that he might try it on
the army. Fate, however, decreed
that it should be tried on the dog. 1t
lay open on the great mans study ta-
BILE, and there the dog nosed it out.
He licked up the powder, an amount OF
1t that forty conscientious hens could
not replace with a months hard Ia
Dor, and he liked the taste Of it. 1t
made him thirsty, however, and he
swallowed nearly q gallon Of water to
assuage that thirst. The powder i'm
mediately began to do what 1t was ex-
pected to do when water struck 1t,
and before the eyes of the great man
that unhappy dog swelled up and
swelled up till his seams gave way.
Just forward Of the port beam he
sprang leak. This is perfectly true
story. The poor dog actually burst.
That particular invention has never
been recommended to the war Office
Washington Post.

old Roman Hairpin..

That deadly implement, the hatpin OF

equally formidable toilet article used
by Roman women. The Aspasias and
Julias and Claudias who decked them
selves a couple of thousand years or
more ago, to the undoing Of the par
ticular Balbus or Marcus they desired
to fascinate, wore bone hairpins Of
prodigious length. Yet, like the w0-

GOOD SHAPE OF EARS.

II gathered before IT is fully matured
corn Is difficult to preserve. When
dried In q warm place 1t is liable to
sprout, and unless there is a good cir
culation of air it will become heated
and moldy. Experiments indicate that
the best results are obtained when the
corn is stored in dry and thoroughly
ventilated place.
The most critical time in the han
ding Of seed corn is the first month
after it has been husked. 1t is unwise
to store it in barrels, boxes or over
large quantities of other grains, as 1t
will gather moisture, One-third of the
weight of corn at the time Of husking
Is made up Of water. While the grain
may appear perfectly dry when stored.

good circulation to carry off this ex-
uded water This makes ii unsafe to
place seed corn on the floor or on a
shelf, as the lack of q free circulation
of air will often cause the corn on the
under side of the ear to become moldy.
1t is good practice to place the corn on
a rack. The strips should be as narrow
as practicable to allow admission Of
air from below. In case a corn rack Is
not used it is good practice to hang up
the corn or to place it upon some
boards over the corn in the crib where
there will be a free circulation Of air
until such time as there Is danger from
severe freezing. If it is then not COM

BIELA's COMET.

It's Sensational Career Before 1t VAN
ished From Our sight.
All Europe was in pangs Of terror
when in 1882 it was announced that
Biela's comet would cross the earth's
path. People died of terror, and so Sc
rious did the scare become that Pari-
sian professor begged the Academy Of
Science to publicly refute the assertion.
The comet came, blazed awhile in the
sky and vanished. Its period Of revo-
luton round the sun being just under
seven years. it came again in 1899 and
was due oEce more early in 1876. But
in that year, instead of one comet, two
appeared The original comet had dr.
vided into two parts, each Of which
had q separate existence, though their
paths were the same.
In 1852 the two comets again came
flying into sight. Their path in 1859
was too close to the sun for telescope
scrutiny, but in 1866 it was expected
that they would be plainly visible. But
the double comet never turned up. Nor
has it ever been seen since.
Comets are naturally somewhat un-
reliable. They are of very f1imsy tex
ture One great astronomer indeed has
said that you could pack the tail Of the
average comet in portmanteau. So IL
they pass too near to Jupiter or any OF
the big planets they are very apt to get
caught and so to disappear completely.
