cob, was composed of q core of husk,
the grains being neatly wrapped upon
the soft foundation. like peas in Il pod.
Mr.. ScOnce was impressed with the
novelty Of the find and decided to
plant all the kernels found on the
freak ear. To his surprise, the ears
produced this season were found to be
exact reproductions of the single ear.
He has decided to plant more of the
corn next year and will endeavOr to
improve on it. He believes that there
is more to it than freakishness. The
ears provided this year yielded as
much corn as those provided with a
cob, and the kernels were large and
solid. The ears were well filed, ker-

MEMORIAL TO ELIOT.
Plan to Raise Special Fund Finds Favor
With Harvard Men.


Word is being passed around among
the alumni of Harvard that plan is
on foot to raise fund with which to
provide a memorial in appreciation OF
the services to Harvard university of
President Eliot, whose resignation be.
comes effective next spring. Where
ever the suggestion has become known
it has met with favor. So far little in
the way of organization has been at
tempted, the suggestion having been
put in circulation merely to ascertain
the feeling of the alumni.
A committee will be appointed from
the Harvard Alumni association and
from the different Harvard clubs to
take charge of raising fund. No linn
it will be put on its size. The form OF
the memorial has not yet been consid-
cred 1t will depend upon the amount
of money that is available. It doubt
less will be used to further some OF
the interests of the university which
President Eliot has most closely at
heart
While this movement is in progress
another has been started to raise a
subscription fund among citizens not
Harvard alumni to show their appre.
citation of DR.. Eliot's work as a citi.
zen, wholly apart from his collegiate
position. This, too, is expected to be
subscribed to by thousands.

When the Thing Was Turned Some
thing Had to Give Way.


And speaking of teeth reminds me
that the country doctor had to draw
them when they ached. The dentists
artistry had not attained the elevated
plane it occupies today, when every
body's mouth shines like the inside of
communion cup. l honestly believe
the modern dentist has more different
kinds Of tools than even sanitary
plumber. and that's a whole lot when
you come to count them up. The mod
ern dentist hates the worst way to
draw a tooth Nevertheless if the
modern dentist must draw the tooth
he has a particular forceps for a par
ticular tooth. and cruel hearted and
cold looking thing it is too. It puts
you so in mind of successful fnan-
cier. When you brace yourself in the
iron chair andNtake tight grip on the
arms OF it and make up your mind
you'll try to stand it and he gets that
forceps we'll under the gum and-wait

when she told me not to crack hick-
DRY nuts with my teeth? Well any

with the cold chills running over them.
But you've never seen one, and many
a man that you would call old has
never seen one. It's something. like a
| canthook. The loosely riVeted piece
that curves slips over the tooth and
catches on the inside; the solid cam
bears on the outside gum; the operator
turns the handle. Let's not talk about
| it. Something has got to give. Maybe
the tooth will come out; maybe it will
break off; maybe the jaw will frac-
ture. All those are details. The main

that's all there is about it.-Eugene

from scarlet fever is steadily deciin-
ing, and we may expect it to decline
more and more as the years go by.
The reason for this. I take it. lies in
the fact that the modern doctor is a

great deal more lavish with water, air
