The Pansy and the Butterfly.

She was pansy. There she stood in
the great garden of Japan, coquettish-
ly tanning herself with leaf. And he
was a butterfly, a handsome fellow.
Daily he few to her to embrace her
slender form and to kiss the tears away
the night had left upon her brow. Wah
HUI, the gardener, one day espied the
beautiful flower, and soon the pansy
found herself installed amid the most
luxurious surroundings in the dressing
room of the geisha. There she rested
in the costly cloisonne vase. And she
longed for her mother, the earth, and
her father, the great sun, and her low
er, the butterfly. No more tears be-
dewed her eyes. Her soul left her. she
pinned away, and one day she died And
the butterfly who missed her-well, he
found another pansy.- Chicago Record

A Clause In Napoleon's viii.

Peter the Great is said to have made
a will in which he exhorted his heirs
to approach as nearly as possible to
Constantinople and toward India, but
the authenticity of this document has
been disputed, and it is shrewdly sus-
pected to have been forged late in the
eighteenth century by August yon
Kotzebue. OF the genuineness, how
ever, of the last will and testament
of Napoleon L. there can be no man
ner of doubt. One of it's clauses was
as vindictive as the testamentary in
junction of Queen Austrigilda to her
husband to have her two doctors killed
and buried with her.
The exile of Longwood absolutely
bequeathed 10000 francs to fellow
called Cantillon, who had been tried
in Paris for an attempt to murder the
Duke of Wellington. The man was
still surviving in Brussels when Ma
pOleon Ill. came to the throne, and
Cantillon was duly paid his legacy.

The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1904-10-04
PLACE TO SELECT SEED CORN

The proper place to select seed
corn is in the field at or just be-
fore gathering time and select from
stalks that have more than n good
developed ear per stalk, as this will
tend to an increased yield in the next
years crop. 1t has been demon
strated time and again that stalks
that bear two medium sized ears per
stalk will yield more shelled corr per
stalk than those that produce only
one large ear per stalk, and hence
more bushels of orn per acre. The
selection should not be turned over
to the hired man, but should be
given the best efforts of the farmer
himself, as it is sure that time ex-
pended in this work will prove as
profitable, if not more so, than any
other work done on the farm. By
continually selecting and planting
corn possessing certain desirable
characteristics, such as production
of two good ears per stalk, it will
be found as the selection goes on
from year to year that these de-
sirable qualities have each year be-
come more thoroughly fixed.
1t must be constantly kept in mind
that on every farm changes bene-
fetal or detrimental are constantly
taking place. as it is an inherent
tendency of all plants to vary more
or less and retrograde or "revert" to
a less productive state if intelligent
and rigid selection is not continually
kept up.
In making selections in the field,
