BROOM CORN.
The connsetieot Meadows Started the
Industry In This Country.

No article of household con-
venience is more familiar than the
brooms and brushes made of broom
corn. The plant is now cultivated
extensively in the valley of the Mo-
hawk river between Amsterdam
and, Johnstown and in the middle
west. Speakers fats have been de-
voted to the cultivation of it for
many years. The crop has the ad-
vantage that it is, of rapid growth,
and even if the pring freshets
drown out the first and second
paintings there is yet time enough
for third planting to escape the
early frosts of September. But it
was upon the Connecticut meadows
that the industry had its beginning
in this country. The story OF It's
introduction here is told in the
pages of "HiStoric Hadley."
Levi Dickinson, a native of Weth-
ersfeld, who went to Hadley in
1886 and settled on the "back
street." brought with him queer
new kind of "corn seed" which he
showed to his friends, saying that
when fully grown it would make
better brooms than they had ever
seen.
The Hadley housewife laughed at
him. "Husk brooms" to sweep the
ovens and Splinter brooms" made
Of birch were good enough for
every day, and the bristle and hair
brooms brought from England GER
tainly could not be surpassed by any
kind of corn.
Thus reasoned the incredulous.
Levi Dickinson, however, not dis
couraged, kept his own counsel,
harvested the first crop of broom
corn from his garden, contriyed
method of scraping the seed from
the brush with knife and after
ward with the edge Of a hoe, and
sitting in a chair with the twine in
a roll under his feet he wound it
around the brush in his lap and
thus made brooms.
Not asking his neighbors to buy,
in 1898 he peddled his brooms in
Williamsburg, Ashfeld and Con-
way. He said that the day when he
+ sold his first broom was the hap
piest day of his life. In 1890 he
carried brooms to Pittsfeld and in
1900 as far as New London.
Then Hadley people began to re-
alize that Il new and profitable In
dustry had been started in their
neighborhuod. Men in Whately and
Hatfield went into the business,
and Levi Dickinson, smiling to
himself, calmly drove his teams
iuudva with Dro0ms 10 DUstUn and
to Albany and found ready mar
ket. AS he made his own handles
and spun the twine from his own
fax, the cost Of the broom was lit
tie, and the demand for the finish
ed product was great.
In 1910 10000 brooms were
made in Hampshire county, and be-
fore the death of Levi Dickinson,
in 1843, people in all parts of the
country were using Hadley brooms.
His triumph was complete.

Babies In india.

There is widespread prejudice
in India against the birth OF twins
or triplets, which is supposed to be
natural among animals, not among
human beings, says the Dundee Ad'
vertiser. In. former times such
children were killed, though in
some places this was avoided by
making them over to some wander
ing fakir as disciples. For an In
dian baby the sixth day after its
birth is the most dangerous; hence
Shsshti, the goddess of the sixth"
is specially worshiped. This is rath,
er curious when taken with the fact
that surgeons tell us that this Is
just the period when infantlle lock,
jaw, caused by want OF care and
cleanliness, is likely to attack the
child. On this night a fire is kept
burning to light the room, and the
infants bed is surrounded with iron
and other things which are said to
scare evil spirits.
