Cork Solea.

Nothing new under the sim. 1t II
now an established fact that the Ro-
mans in classical times wore cork
coles in their shoes to protect their
feet from water, especially in winter.
AS high heels were not then intro
duced, the Roman ladies who wished
to appear taller than they were fash
toned by nature, put plenty Of cork
under them. 1t remains to be demon
strated that the French women of the
seventeenth century were short of
stature, and to their desire to appear
tall must be credited the invention OF
high heels. Once let a stumpy little
bit of femininity get to wearing
French heels and feel much more than
her inches, and she will never depart
from them-New York Press.

The Testing Of Seed Corn.

1t is commonly understood that corn
kept in the crib throughout the winter
frequently loses appreciably in it's
strength Of termination and that this is
often the cause OF small weak stalks
found in our fields. Many men think
that ii corn sprouts and comes up it is
satisfactory but this is not always the
case, neither is it always possible to
tell a strong terminating ear simply by
examination.
When corn is cribbed in large quant-
les and fails to dry out properly before
the heavy FREE yes OF winter come it will
be appreciably injured in termination
and such an injury is very difficult to
detect u termination test. Experiments
have shown very conclusively that corn
dried out early and kept dry during the
winter will germiuate very much more
strongly than corn kept in the crib and
exposed when not thoroughly dry 10
dry to heavy freezing. II will, therefore,
pay as RUE to test corn 10 germinH-
tor in order to weed out the ears which
have been most seriously injured b.
freezing.
The testing OF each ear that is plant
ed is not difficult proposition and ex-
perimen;s have shown that it is possible
to test enough corn for planting gu
acres 10 total Of two days time. This
is done by preparing a box . feet by 3
feet square and or 3 inches deep, fill
ing this level full of sand. Nails are
driven around the edges of the box 2l2
inches apart and allowed to project ~
inch. Strings are then stretched back
and forth across the box, dividing it in
to squares 21a inches each way. Tie
| ears are laid out on board, numbered
and ten kernels taken from each ear.
The kernels are then inserted, point
downward. into the sand 80 as to place
them about a to y inch below the sur
f.ce. The kernels from ear No. will
be placed in square No. !, the kernels
from ear No 2 will be placed in square
No. 9 aud so or. The box is then well
ted down, covered with cloth and put
10 warm place, probably under the
kitchen stove aud allowed to stand for
four to six days, sprinKiing with water
every day or two to keep tho sand
moist. Ears which are not suitable for
planting can thus be detected 10y the
poor termination shown, and Discarded.
Such plan requires little time and will
frequently increase the corn Yield from
3 percent TO 10 percent which on an av-
erage Of so acres will pay a very large
profit for the time sEflt.

Denver .Philanthropist Dies.

Denyer.-Mrs. ]. B. F. Reynolds died
at her home in this city Saturday of
neuralgia oi the heart.
BY the death of Mrs. REYNOLDS the
friendless child, the prisoner unjustly
accused, and the woman suffering the
pangs of poverty have each lost SYM
pathetic and loyal friend. Her most
striking characteristic was her bound
less capacity for extending tender sym
pathy and aid to those in distress. The
most notable example of her interest
in those cvertaken by adversity was
the fight she made in behalf of Antoine
Wood, the youthful murderer. 1t was
through her efforts that the boy got a
parole and was given an opportunity to
show that he could make good man
of himself If given the chance.
Again, when Herman Linde pro-
claimed that there was a plot to rail-
road him to the insane asylum to'secure
valuable pictures in his possession.
Mrs. Reynolds came to the rescue.
Noted alienists testified that Linde was
insane, but she secured him a trial and
he was released.
She married ]. B. F. Reynolds, de-
partmcnt manager of the Continental
Oil Company, some fifteen years ago,
coming here from the East about that
time. There has been no children as
a result of the match. but Mrs. Rey-
nolds has adopted fifteen to twenty
waits at different times, bringing them
up in her own house and eventually
finding permanent homes for them. A
brief but expressive tribute was paid
to her memory by Father William

said, She was always doing good

Great Olympic Stadium.

London.-The last girder for the
steel structure of the great stadium at
Shepherds Bush, London, in which the
Olympic games will be contested this
year, was placed in position last week,
and some idea can now be obtained of
the magnitude of the British Olympic
Associations undertaking.
This stadium has been designed to
accommodate 10000 spectators, and be
sides will contain rooms for the com.
petitors, officials and general public
and lot of floor space for exhibits of
sporting Implements. The center is a
turf arena 700 feet in length by 800
feet in width, around which has been
laid running track having three laps
to the mile and outside this again a
cycling track having two and three
quarter laps to the mile.
The turf and tracks were laid last
fall and are already in splendid condi.
ton and have been declared the best
in England Alongside the arena is a
swimming pond 100 metres iii length.
with deep space in the middle for
high diving and water polo. events
which the committee believe will be
among ihe most interesting of the

lhe games to be contested in the sta
dunn will be divided into two parts.
the main Olympic games, opening on
July 18th, will include athletics. cy
cing, fencing. gymnastics, archery.
swimming and wrestling. and the win

and including football. both Rugby and

the gamHs which can not be PLAYED in
