about something, as though some dear

seem to have grown that way. So when
they laff it seems as though the wrinkles
would stay there, unless they treated
their faces with massage. They were
laughing at dads dislocated calf, and
his scared appearance, as though he
was going to receive the thirty-second

were going to throw him over precipice

dad up, cause dad had a grand army but

finally he went off all in bunch. Dad
said: Look a here. Mr.. King, some

now the north and the south are United,

The king laughed at touching dad of.

America and Great Britain getting to-

when they had better keep their places.
and quit talking about fighting. Dad
said he never would consent to America

any country until Ireland got justice and
was ready to come into camp on an
equality and the king said he would an

would pledge the Irishmen of America,

said if the king would give Ireland what

Irishmen in America would sing God

king would have settled the Irish ques-

a treaty, only a servant brought in a

dad and the king hadn't drank quart
apiece before dad started to sing my

King and, by thunder, it was the same
tune, and tears came into dads eyes, and
the king took out his handkerchief and
wiped his nose, and bellered right out,

America and everybody in it. and they
swallered it, and dad said there was

was little hassock back of ME, and
kicked it back of dad, and when dads
heels struck it, he went over backwards

said: eel. emery, Fave broken my

CORN BREAD M AMERICA.
Not So Common an Article of Food
Nowadays as It Was Fifty
Years Ago.

Our exports of corn to European
countries have risen from 1900 900
bushels in 1883 to about 100000, 900
bushels at the present time, and to-day
Belgium at least is using more Indian
corn per capita as food than the United
States, in which it is a great native
cereal, says the Birmingham Age
Herald. In Belgium the bakeries put
about rs per cent. of corn flour in the
bread they make, and such bread is read
lily sold lower than wheat or rye loaves.
1t is considered more nutritious and
more easily digestible. In Germany the
favorite loaf consists of one-third corn
and two-thirds rye, and a five-pound
loaf thus made is sold at saving OF
about rs per cent.
The change in the European bread
supply was started by c. J. Murphy, who
was sent abroad as commissioner by
the department of agriculture. He be-
gan the propaganda in 1888, and he
maintained it until the use OF corn as
food was we'll started and even estab-
lished, and to-day Europeans are more
familiar with corn bread tlan Amer
leans themselves. Mr.. Murphy asserts
that both in Belgium and ireland xhe
per capita consumption of corn as hui
man food is higher than It is in the
United States. The value of the In
dian corn as food is not appreciated in
this country. Years ago children
thrived and grew strong through the
consumption of johnny cake, ash cake.
hominy and pudding, but in recent
wears cornmeal has fallen into COM
parative disuse. although it. is cheaper
more wholesome and more digestible
than wheat -four. The preparation Of
corn for the table can be more varied
than that of wheat, and yet for some
reason Indian corn is not freely used.
Mr.. Murphy says the consumption OF
American corn in crowded Belgium is
higher than it is in this country. 1t is
difficult to account for the dislike OF this
country for corn in its various forms.
We grow it, and We should not loon
with an unfavorable eye on our own
excellent and abundant product.
The subject deserves careful attention.
with a view to a reinstatement OF Amer
lean corn to the place it held on the
tables of our ancestors. Corn was not
a rejected article of food a century ago.
and it was freely used as late as Sc
years ago. We may have progressed

thinks We have.

Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent proposition
Of J. Pope Brown, chairman Of the
Georgia railroad commission, to reduce
the passenger rate In Georgia from
three to two cents per mile was pro-
tested against by the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, the Order of
Railway Conductors, and unions Of the
blacksmiths, machinists and telegraph
er, boilermakers, railway trainmen,
carpenters and joiners, clerks and car
men. These organizations employed
an attorney especially to represent
them, who urged that such a reduc-
ton would work against the prosper
ity of the state and lead to a reduc-
ton in the number Of railroad en-
ployes as we'll as of their wages. The
Travellers Protective association also
protested that reduction as proposed
would result in few trains and poor
service.

him right there in London and start il
