The Worlds Best Ear of Corn.

An Indiana farmer has produced
the worlds best ear Of corn. At any
rate, If there Is any better ear of corn
in the world, it did not find its way
to the recent National Corn EXPOSE
ton at Omaha, which was open to all
corners.
The lucky Indiana farmer is Fred

another Indiana farmer, who resides
at Franklin, also figures at the Om-
aha Exposition, winning the prize Of
fered for the best bushel OF corn in
the world. Still another Indiana man,
Joe r. Ovsrstreet. also of Franklin,
captured a $1,000 silver trophy Of
fered by the Indiana Corn Growers
Association for the best ten ears OF
F., corn. Mr.. Palms prize for his cham
pioned-of-the-world ear won also a
silver trophy valued at $1,000. AL
in all, Indiana seems to have taker
about the best that was to be had In
the way Of premiums at the big ON
aha show.

Shah Lulled to Sleep With Massage,
Light and Noise.

The instructive dread Of darkness
and solitude was SO keen in the Per-
sian monarch that he required his
bedroom to be filled, during the
night, with light and sound. Ac-
cordingly. every evening, as soon as
he had lain down and closed his
eyes, the members Of his suite gath
cred round his bed. lighted all the
candelabra, and exchanged their i'm
pressions aloud; while young mobiles
Of the court, relieving one another
in pairs, conscientiously patted his
arms and legs with light, sharp little
taps. The King of Kings imagined
that he was in this way keeping
death at distance, IL perchance II
should take a fancy to visit him In
his sleep; and the extraordinary
thing is that he did sleep, notwith-
standing all this massage, light, and
noise.-Xavier Paoli. in McClure's
