NJ. Paul Stapfer in the Mercure de

HugO's after dinner mOnologues. The

physical suggestions, is we'll conveyed
in the quotations. Victor Hugo, it is
hardly necessary to observe, was dis
tinctly a prophet in his own country
as we'll as abroad. By 8 in the evening,
says NJ. Stapfer. Victor Hugo had
warmed to his work. He burst forth:

RACK OF IRON RODS AND WIRE.

ear of seed corn required to plant six
ty-seven acres. Some such method is
said to have been used by John r. Clis
by, secretary OF the Illinois Corn
Breeders association, in testing large
quantities of seed corn. One kernel
should be taken from the butt of the
ear, at least one from the middle and
one from the tip. -Four kernels is
enough to take from one ear for practi-
cal work if properly taken.
The four kernels from each ear must
be placed in a separate group, and it
is best that the group be marked or
numbered to correspond with the num-
Der of the ear from which the kernels
were taken. For this plan 1t is neces-
sary that the ears be placed in regular
order as the kernels are removed from
them. A good device for arranging the
ears in regular order is shown in the
first cut.
One of the quickest and most con-
venient devices for making germina-
ton tests is that first used by Profess
or Golf at the Geneva station in New
IOIk. IlllS apparatus NOllSASlo VI q
water tight box across which are eX
tended folds of canton flannel. These
folds are suspended from wires and
can be removed to dry when not in
use. The box must be filled to the
depth of about an inch with water, so
that the folds of canton flannel will
hang down enough to touch the water
and thus be mOistened by capillarity.
The box should be about II by "a inch
es and or inches deep, 1t may be
made of wood, galvanized iron, tin or
copper, and the wires can be cut from
ordinary smooth galvanized fence wire.
When kernels of corn are to be tested
in this terminating apparatus they are
removed from the ears, placed between
the folds in regular order and the folds
closed together. The groups of kernels
from the separate ears may be mum
bered with slips of paper. This mum
bering will not be absolutely necessary
if proper care is used to have the
groups of kernels correspond to the
ears of corn from which they came

The trade of toOthstainer, followed
in eastern Asia, is as odd a calling as
any. The natives prefer black teeth
to the whittier kind, and the toothstain-
er, with little box of brushes and
coloring matter, calls on his customers
and stains their teeth. The process is
not unlike that Of blacking a boot, for
a fine polish is given to the teeth. The
pigment used is quite harmless. In
Arabia the trade of "gossiper' has
many followers. The "gossiper" col
lects ali the news, tittle-tattle, jokes
and stories he can get hold Of and
then goes from house to house retail
