KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE.
The Two Do Not Necessarily Walk
Hand In Hand.

Hand In Hand.
High marks In examinations depend
upon a trained memory and a power
Of acquiring irrelevant information.
Culture, OH the contrary, is a sym
pathetic assimilation OF the best in the
realm Of thought and achievement.
Culture is Il slower process and a deep
er, and It's reward strikes further in.
Assimilation OF the best that has been
thought and accomplished affects not
merely the brain, but the character
the whole spirit OF a man. Culture
implies a soil plowed and fortified,
where whatever seed falls has the
better chance for growth. Informa-
ton ven In vast quantities. so long
as 1t remains mere information, used
for purposes Of passing examinations,
need not affect the manne nor the
morals Of a man; both may remain
hOpelessly lax in m encyclopaedia
mine of facts. But culture affects
primarily the manners and the morals.
A cultured gentleman has external
methods of getting on with his kind;
he has the true sense of relationship,
the feeling that all he can learn to feel
or to be Is not for himself, but for
service; he knows himself In a net
work OF human inter relations. In the
end the test Of knowledge is not ex-
animation marks: 1t is livlng.-Har-

Interesting Corn Breeding

Professor Hopkins of the Illinois
experiment station, makes an inter
esting report as to manner of breeding
better yielding corn. Every other row
in his plat was detasseled to prevent
self-polliration, or close pollination.
BY self-pollinatiOn is meant the trans
fer of pollen from the male flower
(tassen of a given plant to the female
flower silk of the same plant: and by
close pollination is meant the transfer
of pollen from the male flower of n
plant to the female flower Of another
plant in the same row, both of which
grew from kernels from the same seed
This is what live stock men call
in-breeding. The process of selection
is also carried on by preventing pollen
from inferior plants entering into the
breeding process. All such stocks are
detasscled. BY the careful carrying
on Of this process the increase has
been greatly enlarged.

estry." Part l was, issued. in 1899
and 225, 900 copies we're circulated, it
having passed through several edi-
tions. This work, though not espe-
adapted to the prairie country,
contains much information it would
be we'll for ever the Dakota farmer
to know. Like all the publications
being issued by the very ably man
aged department of agriculture, it can
most likely be secured by anyone send
ing a request for the same. These
documents are published for the gen
eral public. BY the way, every farmer
should send a requestf for The Annual,
the regular yearly report of the depart
ment. 1t is valuable and a postal
should bring it.

DANCING PILGRIMS.
The Annual Carnival Of the "saints"
of Echternach.

OF Echternach.
On every succeeding Whitsun Tues
day from time immcmorial 10000 to
10000 pilgrims Of both sexes and of ey.
cry age and condition of life dance
for -four or five hours at Echternach, in
the grand duchy Of Luxembourg, to an
unmistakable polka tune and an appar-
emily ~nonsensical refrain. The central
figure Of this great Echternach Spring
procession" Is st. Willibrord, who MI
grated from Northumberland to the
frontiers Of the Black forest twelve
centuries ago. Emperors and kings
have In vain forbidden the saints Of
Echternach to indulge In their annual
carnival.
With the peasantry of East Luxem-
burg and Eiffel the "springprozesslon"
Is as popular today as 1t was In 1871,
when King L4othalre came to pray at
st. Willibrord's tomb. The simple mind
ed jewellers on the banks Of the Sure
and the Moselle are firmly convinced
that their best hope OF freedom from
nervous diseases In this world and eter-
nal salvation In the next lies In this
mystic dance of five steps forward and
two backward. by which, after three
hours indescrlbable toll, they cover the
two or three miles Intervening between
the starting point, at which the pill
grlms receive the episcopal blessing
and the goal at the steps Of st. Will
brord's shrine.

or Twin like you and me.
Whhr have You been for the last three
years.
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmie Bludsoe passed in his checks.
The night OF the prairie Belle:
He warn't no saint-them engineers
S all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez under the Hill.
And another one here in Pike.
careless man In his talk was Jim.
And an awkward man in Il row
But he never pilled, and he never lied
reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
10 treat hls engine well;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilots bell
And if ever the 'Prairie Belle" took fire.
thousand times he Swore
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till The last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip'.
And her day came AT last
The Movaster was II better boat.
But the Belle, she wouldn't be passed.
And SO came a tearin' along that night.
The Oldest craft on the line
With Niger squat on her safetvvalve.
And her furnaces cranmed roSin and
The fire bust out as she cleared the bar.
And burst a hole in the night
And quick as a fash she turned and made
For that wller bank on the right.
Their was runnin' and cursin'. but jim
yelled out
Over all the Internal roar.
IN hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot ashore
Thru the hot black breath of the burnin'
boat
Jim Bludsoe's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cuSsedness.
And knowed he would keephis word.
And sure's you re born. they all got on
Afore the Smokestacks fell:
And BudsOes ghost went up alone
In the smoke of Prairie Belle.
He warnt no saint but at judgment
ia run my chances with Jim
Longsidt. OF some piouS gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.
He'd seen his duty dead sure thing,
And went fer it thar ant then:
And Christ amt a-going to be too hard
On a man that died for men.
