Ben ErankIln's Keenness,

Two incidents recall the keenness and the thoroughness-the great twin abilities, to see and to utilize-of Ben Franklin. One day he chanced to ob. serve a lady in the possession of an imported whisk broom. With his usual interest and careful consideration he examined 1t as a novelty. He discov. cred on the brush of the broom a seed, which he carefully removed. Present ly he planted 1t, and the growth from this seed was the first crop of broom corn in this country. Again one day when Dr. Franklin was walking by Dock creek he saw stuck in the mud a wickerwork basket, which had sprouted. Carefully he f1shed out the basket and carefully took it apart. He gave cuttings to his friend, Mr. Charles Norris. who planted the twigs in his garden, where they grew to great size. They turned out to be yellow willows and, as Franklin had foreseen, proved of great commercial value.
