HOLDEN AND ROAD AT OUTS.
Corn Specialist Will Not Accompan,
the Burlinuton's Special,

the Burlington's Special.
Des Moines, Jan 26-Somewhere
there has been hitch between the
officials of the Burlington railway anG
the officers of the Iowa State Grain
Dealers Association and Professor
p. G. Holden. The former will run a
seed corn special on nearly all of its
| Iowa lines and Professor p. G.. Holden
| will not accompany it, Each denies
any Ill feeling regarding the matter
but neither will offer any particular
excuse for the unexpected announce
| ment.
The Grain Dealers Association, thru
the secretary, George A. Wells, will
have general supervision of the spec
ials on the other railway systems. and
Professor Holden will be the principal
speaker.
Some say it is the fault of the Burl-
ington industrial agent w. H. Manns,
that Professor Holden and Secretary
Wells will not be connected with the
Burlington seed corn special. Others
place the blame on the latter. AT any
rate, Manns has charge of the Burl-
ington excursions and is now conduct
ing one in Illinois, and expects to do
likewise in Iowa, Missouri and Ne
braska. He states that he will have
the best speakers possible address the
farmers. If any invitation should be
extended Professor Holden, it is not
likely he could accept, on account of
his time being taken up by the other
tours.
1t has been limited that the reason
Professor Holden was left out of it,
so far as the Burlington is concerned,
was on account of the antipathy of the
professional seed corn producers near
Shenandoah, who disliked certain in
situations that the latter is alleged to
have made last year; namely, to the
effect that they purchased corn from
farmers cribs and sold it at high pric-
es as A No. seed corn when their reg
ular supply gave out.
Professor Holden, who visited Coun-
Gil Bluffs last Monday, when question
ed as to his arrangements with the
railroads for corn specials, said:
"You see have my idea about these
trips, and some of the railroads have
others. One railroad wants to run a
special for me and throw out thous-
ands of sheets of advertising matter.

don't want to be advertised as such.

paign on it's merits, and then | Know l
will be directing my words where they
will do the most good. and not to great
crowds Of curiosity seekers attracted
by tlambuoyant advertising.
"Another railroad has scheme to
carry me if 1 will consent to stop only
at places they direct. They would put
extra coaches on the special and car
nv farmers miles beyond their
homes before they could hear
what have to say. In this
way they hope to do an excur-
sion business I could not afford to
enter into this plan, for have word
to saw to the farmers and want to
meet them all along the line. The eN-
cursion plan would deprive me of tell
ing a great many of them just what
they want to know"

English Clergy Poorly Paid.
From Harpar's Weekly.

The rank and file of the clergy of the
established church are the hardest worked
and the poorest paid set of men in the king
dom. I doubt whether there is anywhere in
the world a weather. or more generous
laity than the Church of England laity. 1t
everything that is churchy to schools MIS-
sion halls, church benevolent societies, all
forms Of clerical philanthropie work and Of
parochial endeavor.
The statistics for record year showed
that the sums subscribed by churchmen
amounted to $26, 1880 900. or, if We include
the donations and subscriptions to home
and foreign missions, to $3S, 200, 900. That Is
truly magnificent 1t is equal to over So
from every household in the kingdom: 1t
exceeds the sums raised by tithes plus the
total income that accrues from all the
little Of 1t finds it's way to the clergy them
selves. The total income of the IA 900 in
cumbents is only SIT, 400, 600, or rather less
than an average of 81 $50 a year apiece
need hardly say that there are thousands of
clergy who fall miserably below this aver
age.
Fifteen hundred livings are worth less
than $500 a year, and 400 livingg are
worth less than 81 900 year In the year
of Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee a fund
was instituted to raise the income of the
poorest livings to $1,000 To do that 1t is
said that something like 81 600 900 per an
mum Is required. The actual amount sub
scribed IS somewhere between $4,000 and
$4,000 year. Such figures tell deplor-
able tale, all the more deplorable because II
IS unnecessary.

NATURE IN GREEK ART.
Treatment of Animal and Vegetable
Forms by Hellenic Artists.

From Macmfllan's Magazine.
Look at any collection of Greek coins.
half of them bear representations Of ami
mals-animals treated so tenderly and with
such feeling for the texture of feather and
hide that there can be little doubt that the
artist studied them with understanding and
affection. Look at the eagles of Agrige-
mum devouring their prey; the splendid
eagles head of Ellis, or the lion and bun
Of Acanthus; the COW and calf of Dyrrbach-
ium or the bull Of Eretria scratching his
head to the very life; the chariot horses
of the cities of Magma Graecia tossing their
heads in eagerness for the contest. We are
even told that bronze cow was the chief
glory of the great Myron. The same IS
true of gem neutrality-suspicious.. dol
phins and rams appear drawn with won
derful truth to nature; indeed. In some
cases the engraver has made his design
correspond to the color of his stone. so
