GOOD SOIL FOR CORN.
In Certain Conditions 1t In Far Better
to Prepare Land in SpriA8
Than in FAN.

Good tillable soil has always as
much to do in growing a crop OF corn
as the seed. The ground may be plowed
either in the fall or in the spring with
success. This, however, must be de-
cided by the farmer himself in plan
ming his work. Fall blowing on the
average will produce somewhat
larger yield Of both fodder and corn,
but the ground must be given extra
cultivation in the spring to prevent the
weeds from starting. If the farmer
does not have the time to- do the nee
essary cultivation, it is better for him
to pillow the ground in the spring. The
extra cultivation, however, puts the
soil into more tillable condition and
retards the loss of moisture by evapo-
ration more than spring blowing will
do. If corn land is to be spring plowed
it is a good plan to wait until nearly
planting time so as to give the weeds
a good start before turning them I'M
der. After blowing, pack the ground
thoroughly with harrow or a SUBJ
surface packer to get the bottom of the
furrow slice compact before the seed
is put in it. Plant three to five kernals
in a hill so as to allow some plants to
be destroyed by narrowing without
making the stand too thin Harrow
ing can be carried on successfully un-
til the corn has reached a height of
four or five inches.-E. G. Schollander,
in Farmers Review.

New York.-When that massive pile

residence there his young wife will have
the host luxurious bathroom in the
world.
1t will equal in it's appointments the
sumptuous baths of the Romans and
beside it the bath of the modern oriental,
which is good deal more of fable than
fact, will pale into insignificance.
Onyx. alabaster and some of the finest
marble ever Quarried enter into it's con-

needle baths and plunges. The water
will be filtered and will be as pure and
clear as crystal.
But the one novelty Mrs. Clark will
possess will be an ingenious arrange
ments of tiny faucets from which rare
perfumes may be drawn and the water
impregnated with their odors. She may
battle in softened water, which exhales
the scent of the geranium or the violet,
or altar of roses. r. !,

EXPLAINS CAUSE OF LAUGH
French Author Publishes Book in
Which He Elucidates on Reasons
for Outbursts of Merriment.

III OALOuAoLS u T.
A very curious book, by NJ. Henri
Bergson, of Paris, called LIE Rire, -
has been published, in which the au-
thor explains why we laugh. He has
novel theory to account for oul
laughter, which is that automatism is
the real genesis of the comical.
In gesture, says Mr.. Bergson, the
movements Of the human BODY are
laughable in the exact degree in which
that body reminds us of mechanism.
For instance, why do we laugh when
an orator, making an eloquent gesture,
upsets the glass of water placed be-
fore him? We do not laugh because
the motion was an unexpected one,
but because the body ceased to be un-
der control, and was mechanical.
Had the speechmaker had an apo
plectic stroke it would have been just
as unexpected, but we should not have
laughed. Speeches which make us
laugh, M. Bergson goes on, are those
which come out automatically For
instance: If I die, will you come to
my funeral?" with pleasure"

;; We only raise a, little more than half
q good ear of corn to the hill in the
United States, assuming that good
ear should weigh a pound In some of
the best corn sections the crop equals
an ear to the hill, but there are many.
states where it is exceptional to find
an ear weighing over half pound, and
it is good corn field where there are as
many stalks bearing ears of half pound
or over as there are of stalks that bear
only nubbins or nothing at all. To any,
one who has never investigated the mat
ter closely it will be surprise to count
the number of barren stalks in row. If
we select good seed corn from an average
field, taking only ears that weigh one
pound or over, about so per cent. of the
kernels planted will produce ears as
good as or better than the original. From
Is or 20 per cent will grow barren
stalks, and the balance will produce all
sizes from nubbins to fair ears.
1t is customary to plant at least three
kernels to the hill, and if we could grow
three good ears on each hill we would
have about $50 bushels to the acre.
Here is problem for the implement
manufacturer to consider carefully.
Next to the selective breeding of seed,
the most important thing in the produc-
ton of a good corn crop is the work OF
the implements and machines used in
preparing the ground and cultivating the
growing crop. There has been great
improvement in the past 20 years in the
construction of planters, cultivators
and other implements used in the corn
field, and there is room for equally great
progress in the coming generation, espe-
cially in the direction of thoroughness
in cultivation. The corn crop is the
most valuable product of the American
continent. and it would be almost twice
as great II we could only raise the
equivalent of one good ear to the hill.
If we could average two ears to the hill
| our corn crop would exceed the worlds
crop OF all other cereals.-1mplement

POLITICS IN / CHURCH.
HOUSE OF WORSHIP WHERE
= DEMOCRATS ARE BARRED. a..
Unique Distinction Of q. Mound, ILL.,,
Institution = Story Of How
- the Exclusion Came
About. -, -. !:

, Pinckneyville, Ill. - Perry county
probably has the unique distinction OF
having the only church in the United
States in which political faith is a bar
to membership. The Mound Covenanter
Presbyterian church, located near Cut
Ter, in this county, not content that the
democratic party is shut out OF polit-
ical councils of the nation, would also
debar the members OF that party from
means OF grace, or at least debar them
from the means of grace as far as OBJ
tanning it through membership in that
church is concerned. The church has
nothing in particular against the demo-
cratic 10y, but clause in the deed
by which the church holds the ground
upon which the house of worship is
built DEGREES that anyone espousing the
democratic cause cannot at the same
time be identified with the Mound
c&cch.
The story of the exclusion of demo-
Gratis from the church dates back to the
days before the civil war; Matthew
Richmond, a stanch and sturdy Scotch
Covenanter, moved from one of the
southern states to the neighborhood in
which the church is located He found
that number of his brothers in the
faith had already settled here, and it was
but little time until they felt the need
OF house in which to worship. Rich
mond was fairly we'll to do, and he pro-
posed to the congregation to donate suf-
fcient ground on which to erect the
house of worship.
He tied string to his gift, however
The genuine old Covenanter hated slav-
cry whose than anything else, and he
was even little more bitter in his
hatred than were his brethren. He in
sisted on putting in the deed to the land
a clause which said that all the demo-
Gratis or proslavery sympathizers, fo1
such did Richmond regard all demo
Gratis, should be forever barred from
membership in the church. If the clause
were ever violated the land was to revert
to Richmond or his heirs.
The congregation readily assented tc
this clause, and the house of worship
was built.
1t is related by the older members OF
the church that just prior to the war one
man, James Campbell, sought member
ship in the church, and was admitted be-
fore the trustees discovered that he es-
poused democratic principles He was
asked to withdraw Campbell demurred.
He vehemently protested that he was
decidedly anti-slavery in his opinions.
but this would not satisfy the con-
scientious trustees. They must obey the
letter of the agreement as we'll as the
spirit. Accordingly Campbell was ex.
cluded from the church. He was the last
one to attempt to evade the behest of the
donor of the building site.

DISEASE CALLED CRAWCRAw
b. HALLS FROM ENGLAND. +
The Recently Discovered Ailmsnt Is
Traced to osculatory caresses-
- Caused by Nematodet Worm !.
Product of African Coast. 4

A new danger has been added to the
many which medical men assert sur
round the habit of kissing. According
to Dencer Whites, a lecturer on dental
histology and pathology at Birming-
nam, England, university, the crawcraw
disease, common on the west coast of
Africa, has been introduced into this
country. Birmingham, he says, has
hundreds of cases, while traces OF the
disease have been found in many other
places.
The disease is due to the presence OF
the nematode worm, which has a Pc
culiar penchant for destroying the white
corpuscles in the blood. The chief
symptom is an intense itching OF the
skin.
kissing, Mr. Whites asserts, is one
of the means by which the disease is dis
seminated. There are large numbers
of counting couples suffering from craw-
craw in Birmingham, he said, and often
er than not one transmits the disease
to the other by kissing.
In one case which came under his OBJ
servation the engaged girl was kissed
by her sweetheart, who was a victim OF
the disease. Shortly afterward she
complained of terrible itching. The
trouble was incorrectly diagnosed, and
the young woman, who slept with her
sister, transmitted the disease and the
latter passed it on to you g.. her.
Thus four persons became anacted
through kissing.
In another case, ~armaid went to
see her broth< soldier, on his return
from war. They kissed each other, and
the result was the young woman a few
days subsequently complained of intense
itching of the skin.
The soldier was unaware OF the fact
