White or Yellow.
NJ the Columbus Journal

From the Columbus Journal.
II is hoped these beautiful corn days
will not pass by without settling the corn
Observation-Disclosures that is--which our
correspondents have been discussing. The
subject has interested the readers simply
on the proposition that hoe cake, fried
mush and rare old corn pone are good,
and whatever makes one think Of them
tends TO fill the mind with happy
thoughts.
Our good friend on Broad street, who
raised the commotion by simply inquir-
ing why she did not get any more of the
good old corn meal that she got years
ago. has not only been fully answered,
but she has been told just how she can
get it-where the old mill, with it's re-
Voiving stones that are never in hurry,
is turning out the sweet erist every day.
We hope she will take advantage of the
information. and then let US know il IT
awakens the dreams of youth once more.
The white and yellow issue yet remains.
and always will, probably, as long as the
men insist that yellow corn Is the better.
They are very obstinate and unreason-
able about this. the women think; but,
while the men ARE firm in their views
on the color question, they have to eat
what is set before them. which Is gen.
orally the white. So we hardly expect
the corn exposition to shed any more
light upon this subject than we already
have.

The tadpole's mouth is so tiny that It

sharp. biting beak. with three rows of

down and incloses the giils on the right
side. leaving them open like spout on

At this stage OF its TRANSFORMED ton the
tadpole hreathes like a fish, taking water
