. SELECTING Seed CORN


The true selection of better breed
of corn is not confined to the selection
of the best ears by any means, al
though this is the popular idea of corn
improvement. AS every corn raiser
knows. certain seed will raise corn
that is almost ideal so far as the ear
goes. but there are but few ears on a
plant
Gais being the case, it Is evident
that the true selection of corn is the
selection Of the plants which show
the desired characteristics all through
their growth up to the time of har-
vest. so tsat the plants should be
closely watched from the time they
break ground and thus securing the
habit OF growth as well rs the per-
pection of ear so desirable.
Many Of the plants will make a
stronser growth than others and ripen
the full crop earlier; IL such a plant
is what is desired. 1t can only be
found By watching its growth through
the season. Then If the yield is all
that is desired one comes pretty near

Came From England to Register,

The fame of the Woman's Domes

to the extent of inducing maids from
afar to journey here to register The
very latest arrival on the carpet is
a woman from London, England, who
read in Londcn of the splendid work
of the Guild, and on the strength Of
that sailed at once for America.
Evidently the newspaper article
was somewhat highly colored in the
matter of wages paid by American
housekeepers, for the woman was
somewhat disappointed at hearing
that there were very few positions
in the menage of me American house
hold which brought $40 week. as
she had been led to expect.
However, she came armed with the
best of references and means to try
her luck on American soil.

positions, and. according to the state.

JAPAN's CONSTITUTION.
How It Differs From the constitu.
lions of Occidental Nations.

There is an important difference
between the constitutions of West
ern nations and that of Japan. The
former are the outcome of popular
uprisings against the tyranny of rul-
ers-in other words. of demand, as
of natural right. by the people. Con
sequently, even in monarchical Eu-
rope, constitutions are drawn in such
terms as to lay the greatest stress
upon popular rights, while at the
same time curtailing the power of the
sovereign.
The Japanese constitution, on the
other hand, emanated from the EN-
peror, the fountainhead of all power.
Before the people dreamed of popu-
lar rights or of Parliament, the
Emperor had already marked out the
grand policy Of establishing consti-
tutional government in the future,
because of his evident desire and
purpose to elevate the country to an
equal place among the civilized ma
lions of the world, not only because
he wished it, but also because that
course was in strict accordance with
the national policy beuueathed by
his ancestors.
Following that policy. our constitu-
ton was drawn up with close adher-
ence to and careful preservation of
the fundamental principle of the I'm
perial Government from time imme-
mortal.
In form, however. it is similar to
Western constitutions, with this diff
ference, that the text of our consti-
tutions contains only the fundamen-
tai principles of state-namely, the
prerogatives of the Emperor; the
rights and duties of the people; the
powers of Parliament; the powers
and duties of ministers of state and
judiciary and finance.
These are all embodied in seventy
six articles. Matters of detail. such,
for example, as provisions relating
to the rules and proceedings CT Par
lament, the laws for the election of
members. the national budget. ETC..
are separated from articles enunciat-
ing fundamental principles, and are
embodied in laws supplementary to
the constitution and enacted at the
same time.-The Century.

The Sun is Made Of Yak-Meat.

The Thibetans have numberless
strange myths, one, the most curl
GUS, pertaining to the sun, moon and
stars. The sun is believed to be an
immense ball of yak-meat and fat,
whereon the spirits. of departed an
cestors are supposed to feast. the
light being caused by its heated con-
dition. The stars are portions of this
immense feast which, dropping to
earth, give birth to animals for the
sustenance of suffering humanity.
The moon is a lesser ball of similar
texture as the sun, in use while the
larger one is being replenished for
the morrow. When sun or moon fails
to appear in cloudy days and nights,
It means that the deities are under
going a period of fasting and religi-
GUS abnegation. And the parched
and sterile condition of bleak regions
Is ascribed to the fact that many
thousand years ago the sun-ball slip
ped from the hands Of its keepers,
descended too near the earth, and,
before being recaptured, scorched
those parts with which it came in
contact.
These illustrations. out of hundreds
that might be cited. at least give a
hint of the ignorance. superstition
and brutality of the Thibetans. as
well as of their Heterogeneous tribal
relations, their lack of any real ma

months old The Cochin is tae more
persistent sitter, while the I-ansshan
does not show strong propensity for
SO doing, but does her work well when
she begins, the same as the Cochin.
a Langshan can fly high for large
fowl, while the Cochin is no flyer at
all. The Langshan always has dark
legs, with pink between the toes, while
the legs of the Cochin may be either
dark or yellow The skin of the
Langshan is white and the flesh fine
In grain, but the Cochin has yellow
skin and rather coarser-grained flesh.
The carriage Of the Langshan is ma
jestic. and its beauty of plumage is
increased by the long sickle feathers.
while the Cochin is more compact in
body and should have no sickle feath-
