Corn From Old Seed.

AT a corn growing exhibition In
Indiana a great attraction was an ear
sent by Mrs. Hardy which was said
to be grown from seed taken nom an
Egyptian mummy.
The mummy was placed h / tomb
1000 years ago and the corn was
placed with 1t. The corn raised from
the seed resembles ordinary swest
corn, and the ear is about five inches
long, a few grains OF yellow and
white corn mingling with the more
numerous grains Of sweet corn, due,
it is said, to being grown among
other varieties. This Is astonishing,
as maize or Indian corn has AlwSys
been supposed to have been iarst
found in this country.
Mrs. Hardy is a descendant Of
Chief Justice John Marshall, and is
woman Of education and culture.
She collects antiques. Wheie she
got her mummy only 1000 years Old
is puzzling the Egyptologists. who
cannot find any Of SO recent date.

was offered for sale which it was

CHRISTMAS

Dedicated TO
MRS. CECILIA MCGovERN
A star shone in the heavens one
time,
1t pointed out the way
To the far of Bethlehem
Where in manger lay
A Babe, the King OF Kings, but like
A beggar came upon earth,
This great Redeemer of mankind,
This King of humble birth.
Three wise men journeyed from far
lands
With gold, frankincense, myrrh
And knelt IN alteration deep
Before this child. His mother
Held Him in her FOND embrace
While her eyes filled with joy tears,
my blessed blessed Babe" she cried
AS she thought Of future years.
AS her sleeping infant lay
AAoA ApAoocf hOt OyN onN LuA1C4
And with full soul but Silent lips
Her great Creator praised.
No one e'er knew the depth Of love
That filled that mothers heart
Except the One to whom she prayed,
She might fulhlI a mothers part.
Millions round the heavenly throne
Sang hymns, the echoes fell
Upon the earth that Christmas night
Peace on earth" TO tell
To all poor sinners-Ohrist came down
To dwell among them All,
Sound halleluiias loud and clear
1t is she Christmas call.

NOTES FROM
sANDYSToN

Reading my Newark Evening
on Tuesday was saddened by read.
ing Of the suicide OF Comrade Charles
F. Crosslmin, and OF his attempt Ia
murder his wife at the same time.
Ho was Secretary and Treasurer
Of the list New Jersey Veteran Cav
airy Association ever since its organ
ization, and was respected by every
member. He served ell through the
Civil War, rising to Orderly Sergeant
Of 20. b which he held until the
close Of the war. he had a kind
word and smile for every one attend.
ing our annual reunion.
Some time ago sent an item stat
ing that Mrs. A. NJ. Mettler had sold
hse farm situated along the Della
ware TO some city parties.
The sale was not made because
me Of the heirs refused to sign of.
The 'Layton and Montague Grang
as have announced dances to take
place on the same evening Dec. 2otb,
and it would seem tnat the attend
ance Of both dances would be great
er. If they were held on different
evinings.
According to an articls In the
Newark Evening News of the 16th
inst. there Is bill now before Con-
gress and there Is every reason to
believe it will become e law, in re.
gard to a raise In the pension laws %
follows: Veterans Of 81 raised from
IL to Is dollars q month, Of 20 years
from 15 to % dollars and of rs or
over 20 to SO dollars per month,
causing a raise, If 1t becomes a Law,
of s25, 900, 900. The soldiers of the
War of ls6l-5 are pretty well pro
vided for as the law is at present,
aud It would look as II this raise was
unnecessary.
Warren r. Thompson, Of Wood

When the macadam road was
built through lands of the Flatbroob
Fish Club the road was fenced witt
post and wire, while the lands OF
others had to fence their own, and
this was done at the expense Of she

BASE BALL STATISTICS.
coMMUNICATED.

The schedule Of base ball finances
as Published last week showed somt
rather startling facts. OF the 1858 sc
subscribed 5000 was contributed by
indiyiduals nos in business. These
benefactors gave generously as il
was not possible for them to benefit
in any material way. An insignifi-
cant sI53,5O wss given by business
men Of the town, those who reap the
benefits of a successful season and
should be willing to spend money to
make money OF all the boarding
houses but two helped TO defray ex
penses. Only two hotels were con-
trlbutors. The merchants and trader
people, who are legion, slbait pros
peFods, make a showing Of $500
Unnamed parties helped TO the ex
tent Of twenty dollars. Great credit
Is due those who successfully con
Quoted entertainments that Detted
s263 40. The showing. as a whole,
Is a sad commentary on the enter
prise Of substantial citizens.
On account of the lack OF public
interest and support manifested last
sbrfng, some of the directors we're in
favor Of placing no team in the field
Others argued that without ball
games she summer visitors would be
practically without entertainment,
and the season a failure socially and
financially. 1t was therefore decid
ed to organize a team at as little ex
pense as possible, aud use every
means to enlist support and colleci
funds. Notwithstanding the indiH
erence Of the public a really exec!
lent team was put in the field.
About four Thousand persons, over
four times the population Of Milford,
paid admission 70 the game
demonstrating beyond cavil that
base ball is overwhelmingly popular,
and not only popular but an absolute
undeniabIe necessity If Milford is GO
ing to remain In business as a sum.

now, and thereby help to Iiquidate
indebtedness. payment SHOULD be
made to the Treasurer of the Milford
Base Bali Club.
The ball games more than any
other source Of amusement augment
prosperity. They are remarkably
well patronized, attracting guests
from all the hotels and boarding
places. The team merits the honest
and helpful support Of every good
citizen. whether an enthuiast or not.
If no team is placed in the field next
season on account of lack of support,
eveFy line Of business in town will
suffer and the sign "BOARDERS
WANTED" will, figuratively speak
ing, be hung out on many a front
gate, And it Is the fuel supplied by
the hot weather visitor that keeps
the pot boiling through the white
frozen winter.

CHANCES In SCHOOLS

with suggestions as to needed chan.

to the early history OF the schools
showing that since the passage Of the
act Of 1886 the state has been pion.
eer in elevating the public schools.
He says politics AID the schools dc

Joined together the child loses.
Schools must have money and one
reason why certain rural districts
cannot get enough money to have
good schools is found in the law as.

Prom 1884 to 1890 the total paid

and since that time 100 million dol.
lars have been appropriated. Hesays
laws must be enacted to protect tine
children against the parsimony and
short sightedness of local school
boards. The schools can never be
made better than the people want
them to be, nor will the schools be
permitted to lag far behind the de-
Inands Of public opinion.
The world moves and the schools
are apt to be too conservative.
Courses Of study must be modified
and improved so as to adapt them to
the changing needs of a progressive
civilization. In Arithmetic, tor in.
stance, it is useless to waste the time
and brain power of children upon
problems which never occur in prac-
tical lite, or which were needed 10
business transactions now antiquated
by several hundred years. 1t is ad.
mltted that for purposes of mental
discipline, algebra and geometry are
Ear more valuable than number
work. A revolution is taking place
rot merely in the teaching of arith.
metic, but also in the methods Of
teaching language, history and the
sciences. In medicine the practi-
toner who has not kept in touch
with modern discoveries ever since
he took his degree, is no longer fit
to practice medicine. In education
progress has been equally marked.
Many teacher whose work at one
time elicited praise, finds himself
out Of touch with what is now de-
manded In the public schools, SIMPLY
because he has failed TO keep abreast
of the times.
There was Q time when any one
could step from the gutter into law
school. All this has been changed,
and the study OF law now requires at
least q high school training. There
was a time when the young man
who could not get a teachers certifi.
cate went to the medical college, and
at tine end of two courses of lectures
returned home with diploma au.
thorizing him to practice medicine.
Today our law requires preliminary
education covering tour years Of high
school work, or its equivalent, and a
subsequent course of four years of
professional study before the gradu.
ate of the medical school can be ad-
mitted to the State examination for
license. There are at least twenty
five learned vocasions, the doors TO
which are closed to the youth who
quits school without getting the
equivalent OF high school educa-
ton.
