How often one sees women in public
places looking at another woman with
a bliebting stare that would shrivel d
sensitive roul instantly. 0fcourse, these
are exceptions; life would not be worth
living, If they weren't. There are plenty
Of kind hearted charitable women, who
would never dream of wounding another's
feelings.
There is an expression that would make
an excellent watch word: Liberality Of
spirit aud tolerance of opinion
After a session with one who deals In
innuendo and sneer one feels like Offering
the PRAYER: "From envy, hatred, malice
and all uncharitableness, good Lord
deliver us."

WhaIea.

Whales, though they are mammals
are fitted to live like fishes In water
The true whales are of two kinds OF
familles-the spermaceti whale, which
has teeth in the lower Jaw, and the
whalebone whale. which has none. OF
the first named there are two species
the cGchdlot aud the sperm, which
when full grown measures from seven
ty to eighty feet. The capture Of this
animal is attended with greater dan
ger than thar of the whalebone or
Greenland whale on account Of its for
midable teeth

There Is Il general demand for well
bred seed corn.
Every geographic section of the Unit
ed States where soil or climatic condi-
lions are distinctive needs one or more
careful corn breeders.
Until the merits of a strain Of corn
and the honesty of the one who sells it
are known farmers should purchase
sparlngly and insist on receiving the
seed as ear corn.
The most important character corn
can possess is the ability to produce
large yields. This character can be
greatly increased by persistent selee-
ton of good seed corn from the
progeny of ears that have proved most
productive.
Vitality is preserved by thoroughly
and quite rapidly drying the seed ears
and storing them where they will not
be exposed to damp atmosphere or sud
den changes of temperature.-C. p.
