The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1910-01-07

AT an important State function IN
London blue tickets were issued to
persons OF high rank. admitting them
to that part Of the hall reserved for
members Of the royal family. Less
distinguished guests received white
tickets. Through some mistake an
important public man received a blue
card, while his wife received white
one.
When the couple reached the audi
ence chamber there began to be trou-
Bile. inasmuch as the lady firmly de-
clined to be separated from her hus-
band. An aide endeavored to reason
with her, pointing out the dreadful
consequences that would follow a
mingling of blue and white.
How absurd" exclaimed the lady.
What do you take us fora seidlitz

She was permitted to enter with
her husband. Everybody's Magazine.

The Chrlstmas Infidel.

Miss Carey Thomas, the head OF
Bryn Mawr College, said at dinner
in Philadelphia that college girls
chose better and also Weather. hus-
bands than other girls.
Miss Carey Thomas. after instanc-
ing a number of Bryn Mawr girls
whose marriages had been in every
way ideal, told a story Of the son Of
one of these Bryn Mawr girls.
''He came home few days before
Christmas she said, from a visit to
his cousin.
Mother he cried, do you know
that Fweddy is an infidel?'
His mother laughed
An infidel? How an infidel, my
SOM she asked.
"'He doesn't believe in Santa
Claus was the shocked reply. -"

Krakatoa's New Dress.

A unique opportunity to study ma
lures processes in restoring the yege-
tation of land swept clear by a
great disaster was afforded after the
tremendous eruption of the volcano
on the little island OF Krakatoa In
1883 All living organisms were de.
stroyed. In 1886 number Of plants
had already established themselves
en- the devastated island, those in the
interior being remarkably different
from those on the coast, ferns espe-
cially ponderating. In 1897 further
progress had been made. and in 1906
the forest trees had advanced so far
as to make it evident that within .
short time the island will again be
densely forested 1t is believed that
the first plants to establish them
selves on the blasted soil-such as
ferns. algae. MOSES. coupositae and
grasses-were borne thither by
winds. and that ocean currents were
probably the agents concerned IN he
importation of seeds and fruits

pr. Britton d, Evans, the brilliant
alienist, said at a recent dinner in
New York:
Then there is the cunning lunatic,
of whom there used to exist q good
example at Brldgetown.
There was a half-witted youth in
Bridgetown to whom the neighboring
farmers liked to offer penny and a
nickel.
TGathered about him in circle on
market day the farmers, one after
another. would say:
Now. which'll yer have, Peter :?
Here's a cent-here's a nickel-take
yer choice
And fool Peter would Invariably
choose the cent rather than the
nickel. and the farmers before such
incra6ulous foolishness would roar
with laughter, double In two and slap
their legs noisily with their brown
hands.
.Peter?s said one day to the
lunatic. why Is it that you always
take the cent instead of the nickel?'
Peter grinned a very cunning
grin:
Suppose I took the nickel, said
he. would ever get a chance to take
another one? Washington Post.

New Corn for the Southwest.

Last year a small lot Of shelled
corn of kind. new to this country
was sent to the Department of Agri-
culture from Shanghai. It proved to
have qualities that may make It val
liable in breeding corn adapted to
the hot and dry conditions of the
Southwest. The plants raised In the
test averaged less than six feet in
height, with an average of twelve
green leaves at the time at tasselling.
The ears averaged 5k- inches in
length and 4 Is inches In greatest
circumference. with sixteen to eigh-
teen rows OF small grains. On the
upper part OF the plant the leaves
are all on one side Of the stalk. In
stead of being arranged In two rows
on opposite sides. Besides this. the
upper leaves stand erect instead Of
dropping, and the tips of the leaves
are therefore above the top of the
tassel The silks Of the ear are pro-
duced at this point where the leaf
blade is joined to the leaf sheath, and
thev appear before there is any sign
Of an ear except slight swelling
