THE MOST USEFUL PLANT.


How many boys and girls know the
real usefulness of our common Indian
corn? We have corn bread and cakes
on our tables, of course, but do we
realize how useful is the whole plant?
Millions of bushels of corn are canned
each year and used for food; the cobs
are used for fuel; glucose is made
from the corn itself and from the
stalk, valuable syrup, as the sap is
rich in sugar There is also made
from corn gum which is useful for
CONNECTIONS and for paste; an oil use.

which can be used as a lubricant; a
kind of vulcanized rubber, too, can be
made from corn, and the pith of ripe

tleships. 1t is compressed tightly and
placed between the armor plates of
the ship below the water line. II a
shell should pierce the armor this
green pith expands and fills the aper-
ture, keeping out the water. Green
pith also contains cellulose, useful in
the manufacture of paper.
Then, too, millions of bushels are
used every year for the manufacture
of spirits, which is both unfortunate
and wasteful, says the New Century
Path. And what would our kitchens
and laundries do without the starch
made from corn? Have we another
plant or growing thing so widely use

There was little catch in her voice,
which for the life of her she could not

The Past Recalled,

One of the charms of travel, partlc-
ularly among historic scenes, is the
privilege Of realizing more fully that
past of which we have read and
thought and dreamed. But much read
ing and thinking needs to be done be-
fore the traveller starts for country
SO rich in memorials of the past as is
Greece. The author of 1.-Two English
women in Greece repeats story
which filings stone at an American.
OF course, the lover of art or of arch
eology should avoid all miscellaneous
alliances, and If he cannot fall in with
those who know, let him take guide
and worry 1t out by himself. Other
wise he will receive shocks such as
greeted the ears of party of enthu-
siasts who, STEPPED in classic lore, as
cended to the Parthenon one moonlight
night, when column and architrave,
rock and ruin alike seemed wrapped in
silvery silence.
Here, burning with religious ecstasy,
pulse beating to throbbing thought, the
deep stiffness of the hour was cut by
the Shrek of Athene's owl; but the
words 1t said We're strange:
There is smell up here that puts
me in mind of bucketful of buckle.

TANNING HER YOUNG.

The way the mother humming bird
would alight on her nest was marvel
to me, says a writer in the Country
Calendar. She always stopped on the
dead twig of maple before dropping
to her home. saw ner do it several
times. She came at the nest like
meteoric streak. l held my breath
lest the whole thing be splintered to
atoms, for she hit the little cup with
out the slightest pause that coulu
see. But, when she alighted, 1t put
to shame the touch of floating this
tle-down.
While the nestlings were very
young, the mother never left them
alone long at a time If the day was
warm, If the sun shone on the nest,
the mother lowered over with wings
and tail spread wide. When 1t was
hottest l have seen the mother sit
forward on the nest edge, spread her
tail till she showed the white tips Of
her feathers and keep up a constant
quivering, tanning motion with her
wings and tail to give protection to
the frail midgets in the nest.

Knew Where He Was.

A sketch Of memorial statue Of
Thomas B. Reed, proposed to be erect
ed in his native city Of Portland,
Maine, represents Reed in the act Of
making speech, one foot firmly
planted little in advance Of the other.
A certain paper makes the remark that
such an attitude is not characteristic
Of the man, for whatever Reed willed
to do che always got there with both
feet" A conversation illustrative Of
Mr.. Reeds sureness of poise was cur
rent more than ten years ago.
Some one asked him how he felt
while the uproar about the rules of the
Fifty-first Congress was going on and
while the question was In doubt
II knew exactly what l was going
to do If the House did not sustain me"
he replied. when man has decided
upon plan of action for either contin-
gency he has no need to be disturbed.
Did you ever think what soothing
thing it is to know exactly what you
are going to do If things do not go
your way? You have then made your.
self equal to the worst. and have only
to wait to find out what was ordained
before the foundation Of the earth"
But how did you feel when the tn.
mutt was the highest?"
"Just as you would feel If big
creature was jumping at you and you
knew just the length of the chain and
were quite sure Of the weapons al
hand"
1t was this sureness of footing
which gave the iron-willed man his
marked serenity of temper.

SOCIETY PALS.

S~N~4oeSNcOoSo~~
CO HEY were Society Pals" IL my
readers will tolerate such
u slang description of them.
He, Jim Broughten, was an officer In
battery of artillery stationed at Bray
bridge.
She, Maude Brierley, was the daugh-
ter of the Vicar of st. Botolph's, vii
lage three miles from Braybridge.
They had only known each other for
few months, and without being actu-
ally in love, were conscious of feel
ing Of satisfaction when each caught
sight of the other in drawingroom,
In ballroom, or at a meet Of the
hounds.
"She's here, anyhow, SO 1t won't be
30 deadly" was more than once the
unspoken observation of Jim Brough-
ton, as he found himself perhaps one
Of three men, handing tea and coffee at
at 5 o'clock "crumpet-worry," where fe-
males most do congregate.
Maude also had more than once said
to her sister as she drove into Bray
bridge for some entertainment or other;
II hope Captain Broughton will be
there; all these sort Of things seem to
go OF better when he Is there"
But she would have utterly laughed
to scorn the idea that she was in love
with him.
But the man took different view
of the friendship! He began to fee
SO insufferably bored at any gathering
from which Maude was absent, and
She always appeared to him to be sc
genuinely glad when she met him, that
he quite made up his mind that he had
only to put the important. If rathe,

O'Brien ut this period was engaged in
business in Cork. He was already ap-
preaching his fortieth year, and
seemed the last man in the world to
be called upon to head a body of
armed men. But when the forces that
were called out to meet at the tryst-
ing place there was no leader of those
who had been expected to take COM
mand, and O'Brien spontaneously and
and put himself at the head of the
headless force Then they started out
on their expedition, and first made for
some police barracks in the neighbor-
hood. There was a brisk skirmish at
one of these barracks, and ultimately
the police agreed to surrender, and
O'Brien himself brought the ladder to
the wall Of the barrack for the prls-
oners to come forth. The humanity
with which he treated the conquered
policemen was remembered In
O'Brien's favor afterwards. His trl-
umhp was short-lived: the soldiers
came up, and O'Brien was arrested
and transmitted to gaol. In due time
came series of State trials, and
O'Brien was convicted of treason and
sentenced to be hanged, drawn and
quartered. The sentence was. how
ever, committed to one of penal servi-
tude for life, and he spent several
years in the convict gaols of England.
When an amnesty came he was re-
| leased and returned to business, and
likewise to revolutionary propaganda.
He was member Of the governing
body Of the Fenian organization. Sub
sequently, when Pnrnell started the
Land League, Mr.. O'Brien's views I'M
derwent some modification, and in
1885, when the reduction of the fran
chise in Ireland gave Mr.. Parnell his
first chance Of electing large party,
O'Brien stood for division Of Mayo
and was elected. At later date he
became bitter opponent of the Par
nell faction Of the Irish party.

THE TIMID KITTEN.
There was little kitten once,
Who was of dogs afraid,
And, being by no means Ounce,
His plans he boldly made.
He said: Its only on the land
That dogs run after me,
So will buy a catboat, and
I'll sail away to sea.
"Out there from dogs I'll be secure
And each night, ere l sleep,
To make assurance doubly sure
A dog watch | will keep.
He bought catboat, hired a crew,
And one fine summer day
Triumphantly his flag he flew,
And gaily sailed away.
But in midocean one midnight
Twas very, very dark
The pilot screamed in sudden fright
Il hear passing bark"
ooh, what is that?" the kitten said,
The pilot said, 81 fear
An ocean greyhound's just ahead,
And drawing very near"
"Alack," he kitten cried, "alack!
This is no paltry pup!
An ocean greyhounds on my track
may as well give up!"

ing. The whole creature is flowing
rather than creeping toward small
chain of bacteria, which presently it
devours. There is no mouth through
which they pass; they are simply en-
quilted, as small drops of water may
be merged into larger. In an hour or
two they will have been digested-
burned off as fuel to supply the activi.
ties of their destroyer.
Occasionally, amid it's ceaseless
changes of form, Amoeba may be seen
to be developing a waist" which
grows smaller and narrower until 1t
snaps, and, instead of one large ami
NAL we have two small ones, which,
without even momentary pause, con-
tinue the search for food, till, in a
few hours, each is full sized and ready
to divide again.
But what has become of the original
Amoeba? In the absence of anything
which could be called his corpse, we
cannot declare him dead; it must be
said that he still living as the two
new Amoebae. Now this splitting into
two being the only mode of reproduc-
ton Of the race, it follows that all the
previous parents Amoebae from which
our present two are descended are
still living. OF course, thousands of
these animalculae are destroyed every
day by natural foes, but it must be re-:
membered that these unfortunates can.
not by the nature of things leave any
children, and so will never be ances.
tors, and that so long as any one
Amoeba is living none of his direct
ancestry is dead. The conclusion has
forced itself upon biologists that
death is no part of the life scheme
of these humble creatures; they are
not like us-machines, preordained to
run down in more or less certain
period of years-but they live on in
definitely till some chance accident
cuts short their career. Youth, or
rather immaturity, they experience
from time to time, but old age, never!
