Packers Watching Corn.

Chicago, Sept. sl2.
There is ill-concealed anxiety in
Packingtown over the corn crop.
Packers have had scouts in the west
looking over the situation, the daily
grist of bull news sent out by Chicago

toriously unreliable. Crop killing as
professional stunt will never become
a fine art until the work is performed
in manner less coarse. Corn obvi-
ously is abundantly spotty and along

What Panama Canal Presases.

(NeW orleans 11cdyune.)
With the United States, Mexico.
Central America and many other
countries of South America lining its
eastern shores, 1t may well be said
that two-thirds or more of the popu-
lation of our globe are in the coun-
tries that are washed by the waters
of the Pacific. The possibilities OF
trade are tremendous, and the opening
of the Panama canal will usher in
the era that will make that commerce
of incalculable volume as well as wall
ue, and it's effects in changing trade
routes will be enormous and doubtless
startling.
When the commerce between Europe
and Asia was carried by caravan
across the valley of the Euphrates
from India and Persia to the shores of
the Mediterranean, Babylon was the
greatest commercial city of the earth.
and the wealth and power of Europe
were gathered along the shores of that
interior sea. Conditions remained
with more or less constancy heaping
up the wealth of the world among the
nations along the shores of the Medi-
terranean until America was discov-
cred, and the sea route around the con-
tinent of Africa to India was opened.
Then the nations of western Europe.
such as Spain, France, England and
Holland, grew into great commercial
Importance which means also military
power.
AS the trade of the vast countries
that bound the greatest of the oceans
shall be developed the scepter of COM
merciai dominion is going to be wrest-
ed from cities that have long held it
and handed over to some that have
been comparatively unimportant hith-
erto It is too early to forecast the
future, but the changes in trade routes
and trade marts are going to be, so
complete and Overwhelming that the
world will be startled.

One on the Professor.
Boston Herald)


The scholarly William E. Byerly,
professor of mathematics at Harvard,
wos once asked by student how to
develop a retentive memory. The pro-
fessor answered that ordinary mental
exercise was sufficient to secure a
good memory. whereat the student
asked if he might test the mental ca
pacity of his instructor. Professor
Byerly agreed, and the student asked
him to listen to and remember several
varied items for a test. He began:
"One quart of whisky"
UNI" said the professor.
six pounds of sugar, pint of sour
milk three onions, half a gallon of
molasses, and two raw eggs.

"a package of starch, twenty-sevcn
cakes of yeast, and the skins of seven
bananas. Got that down."

cheap Paints and whitewashe..

Are far better than no paints. ana
some of them are very durable ana
can be made tasty and attractive IN
colors. The agricultural department
of the Transvaal colony gives the fol-
lowing:
stir into one gallon of milk about
three pounds Portland cement and aed
sufficient Venetian red powder or any
other paint powder to impart good
color. The milk will hold the paint
i'm suspension. but the cement, being
very heavy, will sink to the bottom. so
that it becomes necessary to keep the
mixture we'll stirred with paddle.
This feature of the need of stirring
is the only drawback to the paint, and
as it's efficiency depends upon admins
tering a good coating of cement, it is
not safe to leave it's application to UNI
trustworthy help. Six hours after
painting, this paint will be as i'm
movable and unaffected by water as
month old oil paint. The party giving
this recipe claims that he has heard
of buildings twenty years Old painted
in this manner in which the wood was
we'll preserved The effect of such a
coating seems to be to petrify the sur
face Of the wood. Whole milk is bet
ter than buttermilk OF skim milk, as it
contains more oil, and this is the con-
stituent which sets the ceSment Ii
mixed with water instead of milk the
wash rubs and soaks off readily. This
cement-milk paint brushes on smooth
ly and easily-almost equal to genuine
oil paints cheap and easily made
Here are several recipes from the
same department OF Queensland, Aus
trafia, for whitewash. Whether they
are any better than our so-called
Government Whitewash, we do not
know:
mo. Twenty pounds Of lime Gum
slaked). three pounds common salt.
one-half pound alum. Stake the lime
with boiling water until the consist
ency of the wash is similar to thin
cream. TO increase its antiseptic
properties add one-half pint OF crude

Cards for a Bishop.


Bishop Luther Wilson was elected to
his new honor at the general confer

convened in Los Angeles, and was as
signed to Chattanooga as his official
residence. He and Mrs. Wilson upon

at once to Lookout Inn.
Mr. John A. Pattern. a leading MEM
Der of the Methodist church of Chatta-

which had elected the young bishop
fastened to call upon him. After go

for card, Mr.. aPtten asked at the
desk in his peculiarly slow draWl:
Have you any plain cards."
Certainly" answered the clerk, and
stepping briskly to the cigar stand, he
handed the astonished Mr.. Patten a
deck of playing cards.
