But listen to one of mine, which

it is brought out IN different way. A
child and her mother are on the cars.
Opposite them sits young man
dressed in the height of fashion. Says
the child: Mamma, what is that?'
and as she asks the question she points
to the young man opposite. Hush,
my dear answers the mother. But,

more information. And who made him.

CORN HUSEER A

of Picking Corn by Hand Will Soon
Be Thing of the Past-Results of
the Recent Demonstrations Held in

assistants. Messrs. VIM. Talbot, C. w.
keefer, W. @. Buggy Of Cedar Falls,
gave three exhibitions or delnonstra-
lions in Story county a few days ago.
At Colo. Maxwell and Nevada. Fully
400 people were out to see one of these
machines work at Nevada Saturday
afternoon, and two carloads of corn
huskers were sold in Story county last
week. Some Of the best farmers pro-
nounced the machine 81 grand success,
and stated that the machine could get
at least five bushels Of corn more per
acre than by hired help, hand picking,
and made good their opinions by pur-
chasing machines
Mr.. Christoph has ordered two more
cars OF corn huskers and pickers
shipped to Marshalltown and this week
will give several exhibitions or demon
strations in Marshall county, and will
give an exhibition near Marshalltown
some day this week.
The machine is very simple but dur
ably built, is driven along the row Of
corn and as the stalks enter the ma
chine the ears are snapped of the
stalk by means of swapping rolls. Then
the ears are elevated to the top Of the
and pass down over the husk-
ing rolls and then elevated into the
wagon, clearly husked and silk re-
moved. Two men or one man and q
boy can operate the machine. Two
teams being hitched to the machine
and one to the wagon 1t is estimated
that the machine will pick, husk and
load from to 10 acres per day. The
machine Is without a doubt one of the
greatest and most practical Inventions
of the age and will be great labor
saving device on the farm. The corn
crop in Iowa is the most important
crop raised by farmers, and it will only
be question of few years until this
machine will be as common on q farm
as self binders and the farmers will
have no more sore hands in corn
picking time.

Making Joss Sticks.
Giterary Digest)


In all countries where Buddhist wor-
ship is celebrated there Is a great con-
sumption of "joss sticks" These cere-
monial candles whose use corresponds
nearly to that of the wax candles used
in the ceremonies of the Catholic
church, are lighted on similar occas-
ions-ceremonies of festivity or mourn
ing. prayer, or thanksgiving to divin-
tiles, etc Joss sticks are at once can
dies and incense, since, like the latter,
they burn without apparent flame.
Their preparation is shrouded in some
mystery, and the process is still prac-
tically unknown, those who carry it
on being chosen from special class
and kept in rigorous seclusfon Messrs.
i. Decker and p. Hurrier, in a long
sojourn in Indo- China and China, have
succeeded in discovering the essential
points of their fabrication.
A squared strip of bamboo Of vary
ing length and thickness, according to
the size of joss stick that is to be made
is skillfully rolled on an inclined sur
face, in a mixture of odoriferous pow
ders agglutinated by resin made Wis
cous by slight elevation OF temperature

serve as a handle. In some cases the
bamboo is replaced with a flexible rod
which enables the joss stick to be
rolled in spiral form.
The composition OF the odoriferous
powder varies with the country: those
used in 1ndo-China come generally
from the province Of Canton and in
clude fourteen different drugs, among
which may be named champion, SAN
daiWood, aconitc, and Glove.
Aconite, whose presence is surpris-
ing, really plays the part. of a preserva-
tive and protects the joss sticks well
against the attacks of rats, mice, etc.
