ROMANCE OF A LOTTERY.

For some time no claim was made
for the chief prize of $4,000 in the
Brussels Exhibition lottery. The iden
.ity of the winning ticket has JUST
been established in a curious way.
A young Belgian miner who had pur
chased a ticket for the lottery was
killed while at work through a stone
falling on his head some days before
the results were announced Accord
ing to custom he was buried In hiS
best suit of clothes.
When the weeks passed and the
prize remained unclaimed the young
mans relations remembered that he
had lottery ticket in his waistcoat
pocket, and applied to the authorities
for permission to exhume the body
After some delay the request waa
granted, and the winning ticket was
found in the dead mans pocket.

M0NOPLANE HAT IN PARIS.

Considerable sensation was caused
on the Paris boulevards by lady
with monoplane hat. The hat, which
was exactly the shape of a Bleriot
monoplane, was fastened on with two
large pins having ebony propellers by
way Of knobs. and these propellers
turned in the wind. The new fashion
obtained SO much recognition that the
owner of the hat called taxicab. But

and the hood had to be lowered before

LATE WORK IN THE GARDEN
Corn Seed From Growing Plant
N Burbank Plan.
(By BESSIE L. PUTNAM.)

If you are fond of young onions do
not fail to set out bed OF top
onions for the very earliest use in
the spring They do not form bulbs
but are more in form like scullions.
Yet in early spring it is indeed re-
freshing to be able to find An onion
bed ready for use. The tops of the
seed stalk produce small bulbs which
should be set in autumn, and thus
the stock renewed from year to year.
While the plant is perennial. the bulbs
are more tender when grown each
year from bulbs planted In the au-
tumn.
Select your seed sweet corn from
the growing plant, noting not only
grains, but the number produced on
stalk Turn the husks back, using
them to braid the ears together. You
then have a convenient package for
hanging up to dry.
Save your squash seeds from the
first really good Hubbard that ma
lures. Like begets like and II you
wait until the late ones are ripe you
simply make a selection that will pro-
duce later fruit another year. The
Burbank plan has many applications
which the ordinary gardener will do
we'll to observe.

Farming IntelIigentIy.

In everything connected with agri-
culture there are new and unseen con-
dt.ons that are constantly presenting
themselves, but with agricultural col
lcges standing ready and willing to as
s'st us, and with practical agricultural
journals brought to our door yards, it
seems almost incredible that there
should be SO much lack Of interest
among some agriculturists.
No man can deny the good that
comes to him from keeping up to date
on all matters appertaining to his line
of business, yet we see farmers on
every side who seldom take time to
read or think out the problems con.
nected with their every day life and
basiness.-A Farmer.

chased the Intelligencer.

M. Lucien Magne, the French in
spector general Of historical monu-

markable discoveries Of recent years
In the old abbey of Fontevrault. That
certain of England's kings and queens
were buried there was we'll known.
but 1t has always been told that the
toIhbs were rifled many years ago.
Henry II. and Richard l. were buried
there. as were the wives of King John
and Henry II.
The architects who were engaged
In restoring the abbey, after digging
down to the original level of the nave
and demolishing the seventeenth-cen-
tury partition, discovered traces of in
scriptions and paintings in an arched
recess Of the northwest wall of the
transept 1t would seem that the alb
bess, Louise of Bourbon, In redecora-
ting the cloisters had closed up the
opening of the tombs, and hence they
had escaped being rifled as SO many
other tombs were in the revolutionary
movement Of 1789 And so they are
unearthed today-the actual remains
Of Richard the Lion-Heart, and OF bis
father. Here the archaelogists and
other onlookers had before them all
that remains of the once fiery Richard.
The most curious detail, however, is
that the sixteenth-century builders,
who transferred the tombs of the
Plantagenets to this side chapel, did
not hesitate to bend forward the up
per part of Henry lis skeleton down
to the lower part in order to shorten
the tomb SO that 1t might serve to
support the vaulted arch designed to
protect the second pair Of tombs; and
he who died Of broken heart through
the ingratitude of his sons was thus
cruelty and irreverently maltreated
after death 1t is believed that the re-
