GROUNDING PLACED
UNDER THE BAN

1t seems that the grounding is under
The ban in Illinois.
A bounty has been put upon the head OF
tho animal that on Candlemas Day each
year tells us whether winter is to pass or
10 linger. Colonel Watterson, OF the
Louisville Courier-Journal, comes TO tho
defense of the grounding. lie bespeaks
consideration for it in the name Of Ken
tucky. He might bespealS consideration
for it in the name of humanity.
The grounding Of Illinois and the West
generally is the woodchuck OF the East
ern States. It is charged against him that
in digging his home he throws gravel up
over the surface OF the ground 10 an eX-
tent that Injuries the farmers prospects
OF raising crops The grounding is also
accused of being a prowler in the vege-
table garden. and it is said that the early
cabbage that should so TO farmers table
is sacrificed 10 the appetite of the unbid-
den guest in the field.
We hold no brief for the grounding, but
Il Is pretty well-known that nature keeps
the balance of things even. Not many
years ago the Pennsylvania Legislature
passed a law giving a bounty to every
man who killed hawk. The thought OF
the legislators was that If the hawks
were killed the poultry industry Of the
State would thrive throe-fold. The price
put on the head Of the red-shouldered. the
red-tailed. and the broad-winged hawks
resulted in thinning Of the ranks OF the
predatory bird family and in the deple-
tlon of the treasures Of most OF the coun-
ties Of the Keystone State.
After Pennsylvania had spent 5000 in
payment for hawks scalps the farmers Of
the State suddenly found out that the
rats and the squirrels we're eating up
their crops unchecked. They tried 70 stem
the tide Of destruction but failed, and
then they called on the lawmakers TO
make life possible again for the hawk

The tests for green corn, like that for
the symphonies OF Ludwig van Beeth-
oven. is not universally diffused among
the races Of men. The Scotchman.
though he eats oats with gusto. re-
CARDS corn as a feed rather than a
food. and the German, busy with his
rye bread and souerbraten, has no
time TO master the dificult art OF eat
ing il. In all Paris, with its 10000
restaurants, there is but one depot for
green corn, and that one is kept by
two homesick Americans. In London.
Madrid, Rome and st. Petersburg an
ear Of corn would excite as much curl
osity as a diamond Of twice its bulk.
Certain misguided persons In an ef-
fort TO spread the cult OF corn on the
cob have recently devised ingenious
hooks and prongs for holding it to the
face. The idea OF these inventors
seems to be that the prejudice against
corn. among many races. is due entire
" 10 the risk attending the orthodox
method of eating IL.
The new-fangled corn hook makes
the operation so simple that a novice
can master IL i'm one lesson. When
one Is employed the fingers do not
touch the ear at all. Instead Il is
safely impaled like a beetle on a. pin,
and so all danger to the clothing. eyes
