ON BUYING A HAT.
Insist on Standing UP When You Tr
1t on, Says the Wise Woman.

From the Kansas City Journal.
"Don't be content to buy q hat Just be-
cause 1T is thoroughly becoming to you as
you sit before the miliner's mirror" says
a woman noted for the taste she shows
in her hats.
STAND up before the mirror and make
sure that the hat Is as becoming to YOU
when you stand as when you are seated.
Do not stand close before the mirror
walk away from it and get glimpse Of
yourself from a distance. Assume a num-
Der of different attitudes, characteristic
ones that you would naturally take when
wearing the hat and see If the hat suits
you In them all.
I'm other words try to see yourself as
others will see you, Judging your appear
ance in the hat as they will. not as you
have Judged for yourself when seated be-
fore the mirror with a clever milliner how
ering about, flattering roses into your
cheeks and excitement into your eyes.
1T Is not 81 eexaggeratfUn to say~that
In nine cases out of ten IL women stood
to see how they looked in tht hat that has
so pleased them when seated, they would
find 1t unsatisfactory.
Hence 1t is good business in the mil
linery trade to keep customers seated until
a sale Is accomplished.
ut is women Of medium height and
short women who are he principal vic
Tins In the practically general custom Of
judging upon the becomingness Of a hat
While the customer is seated. The sweep

Of attitude, the color coming to the face
with the repose, the grace of gesture Of

"The latter woman smiles back a. her

atmosphere of her height. Therefore she
runs little risk Of having a hat unbecom-

even she should make perfectly sure Of
running no risk at all by rising from her

Watch an actress buy a hat, She will

judging her to think her over fussy or put

French Schools Of Aeronautics.
From Harner,s Weelsly

So great is the interest in aerial nav
igation in Paris that recently there
have been founded two schools which
will be devoted exclusively to this sub
ject, and will give instruction in the
theory and practice of airships, their
design and construction. One Of these
schools is to have its aerodrome on q
site near the Porte Maillot, formerly
occupied by the Columbia theater, and
it's equipment will include captive bal
looms which can ascend to heights OF
from 1900 to 1900 feet, and be used for
practical experiments by the students.
The latter, 1t may be said, will be
comprised In a large part of amateurs
interested in ~aeronautics, and every
facility will be provided for teaching
theoretical ~aeronautics as we'll as for
original experimentation and the test
ing Of new ideas and apparatus. AS IL
his were not enough in the way OF
aeronautical instruction, there is also
the Normal College of Aerial Naviga-
ton" which has been sanctioned by the
minister of the interior, and is designed
for those desiring to qualify profess
sionally in ~aeronautics and to make it
their calling. In this school there Will
be lectures and examinations, as we'll
as experimental work, and diplomas
will be conferred which will render the
holders eligible for membership in this
Military corps of aerial navigation.

Freda nodded. Indents, whatever

Ralph dropped his serviette. /.

ooh, Ralph, I'm so sorry"
Being sorry doesn't bring that three
pounds back. It has regularly spoilt
my dinner"
They finished the meal in almost alb
Solute silence.
Freda went to her room. From
the window she saw her lord and
master arranging himself in a deck
chair in a corner of the garden where
two could not possibly sit together.
1t was the first time since her mar
riage that she INDUCED in a good Sc
| cret cry.
Relations between the wooings were
strained.
One Saturday afternoon Freda came
Into the dining room in outdoor clothes.
Ralph, do o mind keeping the
house by yourself for a little?"
He hardly raised his eyes from his
newspaper.
"Why?"
Because the servants out for the
afternoon and I find 1 must go and do
some shopping for tomorrow"
"All right! I don't mind-only you'll
be home to give me my tea at the usual
time?"
Certainly" Freda replied CURLY.
What a lot Of men-particularly dis
agreeable men-think of their precious
meals.
News in the paper was conspicuous
only by it's absence, and after half an
hour or so Ralph grew a little tired
of his solitary condition. He would
take a turn in the garden.
AS he vas crossing the hall the street
bell rang. He went to the door and
opened it. There was a young woman
on the, steps with a parcel in her hand.
Mrs. Woodling?"
"Yes!"
She gave him the parcel.
There's thirty shillings to pay,
please"
Who's it from?"
"Grainger's, the Diapers. It's a new
jacket. Mrs. Wooding has been and
ordered it this afternoon, and said that
you would pay when I brought it
round"
A quarter of an hour later Freda re-
turned.
Il had to go further than ex-
pected. Hope you haven'G missed me
very much?"
NO! But make tea as soon as pos
sible."
She noticed the parcel lying on the
table.
Whats that, Ralph?"
"Your Jacket from Changers. Seems
rather eXtravagant of you"

On the doorstep stood a young man,
little more than a boy, irr%eproachably
dressed. A. gold pin reposed In his
fashionable cravat, and his cuffs ex-

In seven days ninety.fve per cent. should
have germinated. If less, the seed should be
discarded and better seed secured.
Selection And Storing of Seed Corn.
The seed should be thoroughly dry, i'll or
der TO keep the vitality unimpared. A simple
and effective plan in ordinary seed selection
is to select the good seed corn in the field.
Tie a box to the rear of the wagon box and
when particularly fine ear is found on a we'll
developed stalk, throw the ear into the box.
second selection can be made at the corn
crib and the ears finally chosen for seed stored
in boxes. These boxes should be thoroughly
lined with screen wire drawn over the open
top. This will prevent mice and rats from
eating the seed, and will permit of free venti
latlon. Now set these boxes in an attic or
other room provided with stove, and keep
up fire or heat until the ears are thoroughly
dried out. The old fashioned plan of hanging
up the seed ears by husks over the open fire
was an admirable plan for effecting this re-
suit. After once dry, the seed will not be
affected by the extremes Of temperature. In
moist and immature kernels the cold freezes
the moisture in the young plant and swels the
cell, bursting the delicate tissue. If the seed
Is TO be stored on an extensive scale, a special
building should be prepared set on tile, to
prevent mice getting into the seed room. The
ears should then be ricked up in regular or
der. A good plan is to lay them between two
Dy-sIx uprights and set the ricks several inches
apart so that the dry air may circulate freely
on all sides of the ear A small stove will dry
out The seed in two or three weeks continuous
drying.
Selection of Ears of Seed Corn.
In selecting the seed ears, the object is to
seiect such ears as will produce the largest
amount OF shelled corn. The grower is after
corn. and it is with this idea in view that the
SEED must be selected. In the first place,
rough ears of medium size. with a large num-
per OF rows of kernels, weigh out the most
shellea corn. The rough kernel is the deep
kernel. and with large number of rows on
tne COB the greatest amount of corn can be
.sowa1d ,na "a on an ear. This can best be illus
lrated by an actual weighing test of two differ
ent types of corn. In one Instance, an unim
PROVED ear seventeen and one-half inches long,
win broad, smooth kernels, weighed fourteen
ounces; an improved ear of Boone County

GirPlsIlal ference.

The circumference will vary with the var-
ETY.. Ii should be measured At about one third
the distance from butt TO tip of ear. In ordi-
nary corn, seven and one half to eight inches
is the circumference proportional to the ordi.
nary length of ear.
Per Cent. Corn.
The corn grower produces the corn for the
actual amount of sheled corn produced. With
the rough, deep kernel type, with a large
number of rows of kernels on the ear, all
available space being taken up with corn, the
per cent. is greatest; hence, such corn is the
most profitable to grow. To find per cent,
weigh the ear. shell the corn, and weigh the
Shelled corn. Divide the weight of the shelled
corn by the total weight of ear and the result
will be the per cent. Of shelled corn. This
per cent. will vary with the variety, but in
general it is about eighty eight per cent A
large enough cob to support the rows of corn
is needed, and this per cent. of corn repre-
sentS about the proportion which will give the
best results.
Selection for Quality.
The composition of the corn kernel is of
great importance to the feeders, stockmen
and glucose factories. If the per cent. of
protein can be increased by breeding, the corn
becomes more valuable feed for live stock.
| 1t is brought nearer balanced ration in
other words, and is of great importance to
| stOckmen. The composition ofthe kernel can
can he varied by breeding through selection
of seed, as proved by experiments of the Illi-
nois station since 1896. The variation in the
crop is shown by the following table, quoted
from the work of the station. The table
further shows that the proportion of oil may
be increased at the will of the breeder. This
will be of tremendous Importance to the glu
cose factories:
