He WAS NOT IMMORTAL.
ATest That Proved It Was Possible to
Kill Span;ard.

Ntt q oPAHtdt "
Early in the sixteenth century the
natives Of Porto Rico plotted to Kill
the Spaniards on the island. There
was much doubt. however. as to
whether or not it was possible to Kill
q Spaniars,. Many Of the natives In
sisted that it was not. Finally 1t was
decided to make an experiment.
a young Spaniard who was passing
through IN Indian village was hosp!ta-
biy received and fe. and then num-
ter Of natives accompanied him on
his Journey. When he arrived at a
river his companions offered to carry
him across.
The young man accepted and was
taken up By two men and carried into
the water on their shoulders. Arriv-
ins near the middle Of the river. they
threw him in and held him down until
he ceased to struggle.
Then they carried him ashore with
profuse apologies, loudly proclaiminS
that they stumbled by accident and
calling upon him to arise and continue
his journey. But the young man did
not move, and finally the natives were
convinced that he was actually dead.
Having secured the proof they want
ed, the leaders OF the rebellion at once
began q general attack upon the Span
iards.-Blackwood's Magazine.

In view Of the present scarcity OF
cora Of sufficient vitality to justify Its
use as seed, the farmers in the north
ern part Of the corn belt, which was
visited by the severe freeze Of last
October, are up against very real
proposition. II they cannot secure
seed which will give them at least two
thirds Of stand they would better
put In small grain in place o. the corn.
They viii be tempted TO use SEED
grown farther sonth because it Will
serminate. but this is alnoost as seri.
Gus a mistake as using poor seed. 10:
IN all probability corn from such seed
would not mature In time to escape
the fall trosts. in which case they
would fare no better. II good seed OF
the proper type can be secured at 4
cost Of even $1o per bushel 1t would
be better to use this than TO use seed
