Flseceo Ira Queen.

When George W. was crowned 1t was feared that the discarded Queen Caroline might appear and create a scene at Westminster abbey during the ceremony. A gentleman of the name of Chutneigh offered to go into the anteroom where Caroline was waiting and keep her engaged until the conclusion of the ceremony. That was time when nearly everybody gambled. and the discarded queen was no excep- ten to the rule. After few casual remarks about the weather Chutneigh took three cards from his pocket and invited Caroline to "spot the lady" Time and again she backed her judg- ment with money and each time lost Then she played higher stakes in the hope of retrieving her Ill fortune. Her last guinea had been taken in by Chut- peigh before she remembered her in- 'tention to be at the coronation. But 1t was too late The ceremony was over, and the new king. "the greatest blackguard in all Europe" was on his way to the palace. To Mr.. Chutneigh. who thus holds the credit of introduc- ing the three card trick into England. a pension was granted.

The Misuse of Vinegar.


 Dr. Mansell Maullin, NJ. A., writing in the London Lancet on the causes of gastric ulcer mentions vinegar as one cause. "In many of these instances. especially those which occur in young women. the effect of this chronic sep tic poisoning is intensified by the habit so many of them have of swallowing quantities of vinegar. Information with regard to this is very difficult to obtain and is never volunteered. It has to be drawn out bit by bit. but l have met with many instances in which a pint day has been consumed and a few in which the quantity was occasionally much larger. The effect is probably greater because it is often taken between meals on an empty stomach under the curious impression that it will improve the complexion"

-"One of the characteristics of my old comrade. Amos Stillman, Company A. Twenty.third Massachusetts volun- teers. was bravery in actual fighting service" said the old soldier. "An- other characteristic was sense of humor which stood him in good stead even in the face of danger and con trtbuted not little to the gayety of his comrades. At the battle of Cold Harbor, just before making the charge and while under the Confederate fire, our corporal. who was over six feet tall and scarcely bigger round than a gun barrel. became excited as the ene- my's bullets plowed up the earth about him.

LABOR FOR CORN BREEDERS
Better Quality and More Bushels Per
Acre Should Be the Watchword
of Every Farmer.

(By PROF. A. T. WIANCKE)
First, | would say, begin corn breed
Ing work upon small scale. ! would
emphasize this because you can give
small plat more attention and it is
better to make a big Improvement in
small lot of corn than a small i'm
proyement in a large lot. small
plat planted with the few very best
ears will produce enough to provide
a fine quality of seed corn for the gen
eral crop the following season.
To begin with. you should secure a
few good ears OF the very best va
riety for your conditions. If you have
not already got it, II may be advisable
to conduct a small variety test of
those varieties which appear to suit
your conditions. In this preliminary
work the varieties should be planted
side by side under the same conditions
and careful study of each made.
Having selected the variety with
which you wish to begin. give up all
others and keep the variety pure by
careful selection and keeping the
breeding plant isolated so that pollen
from other fields cannot reach II.
You can always find spot upon the
farm where a small plant can be iso-
lated. There are just as good rea
sons for keeping a variety of corn
pure as there are for keeping breed
OF live stock pure
For the breeding plat we should
always select a good. clean piece OF
ground. where the corn can be given
the very best attention. Don't be
afraid of spending too much time on
this small plat. If you use the pro
duct as seed for the next years field
crop. you will be many times repaid
fer the extra trouble.
Plant each two ears in alternate
rows and detassel all the rows of one
of the ears. to prevent in-brceding
and select seed for next years plat
from the detasseled rows.
All breeding should be towards {
single. definite type. In carrying out
this We must keep in mind the size
form and color OF the ear: the form
depth. shape. roughness and hardi
butts and tips; the time Of maturity
Z etc. The character and size OF the
stalk and the root and leaf develop
ment. as well as the position and char
acter of the shank. must also be KEEP
in mind A good. vigorous stalk may
make the difference between a gooC
and poor crop. especially when sea
sons are unfavorable.
Productiveness must. of course. al
ways be leading interest and al
barren and weak stalks should b,
destroyed before they shed pollen
! The careful corn breeder should b,
personally acquainted with each an,
every stalk in the breeding plat and
record OF the pedigrees of each Sc
lected for seed in the breeding pla
should be kept
