THE HIGH BROW.

The slang ban on "highbrow" is hereby raised. No longer will it be left to languish in the lower limbo of language. It is perfectly good and expressive word. It graphically denotes that amusing class in the community who are not content to be merely and modestly intellectual, but who in addition make a great parade of their intellectually, who must be imposing, patronizing and pompous. The Highbrow is the professional in- tellectual.

HARD TO BELIEVE.

"Think of it, my dear," remarked Yrs. Emily Streat, looking up from the morning paper she had cabbaged at the breakfast table, "just think of 1t! This paper says that there are three thousand millions of dollars in circulation in this country.' .'
 'Is that so," responded Mir. Streat, as cheerfully as possible under the circumstances. "Well, well Judg- ing from the difficulty I always expe- rience in getting you to give me ten cents more than carfare every morn- ing, l thought there couldn't be more than S3.50 in the whole world"
 Conversation languished a good bit after that.

IGNORANT PRISONER.

 "Yes. And so, in view of his igno- rance, both of our customs and our language, 1 ask that he be dis charged"

should be discarded, no matter how we'll the outside of the ear may look. At least S5 per cent. of the oil in the kernel is in the germ, hence corn with we'll formed germs is desirable Tests by the Illinois experiment sta. ton show that the oil in corn may vary from 21A to 71A per cent. and protein from 61s to 16 per cent. If seed corn contains large amount of protein and oil the crop grown from this seed will be high in these desir- able features.
 Standard measurements for corn produced i'll northern, middle and southern Wisconsin, are as follows: Length, northern section to inches, central, SM to 914 inches, southern S1a to 91a inches. Long ears are objection able because they usually have poor butts and tips, shallow kernels and hence a low per cent. Of grain to the ear. In general the circumference should be three-fourths the length. The standards for various sections in Wisconsin are: Northern to 61A inches, central 615 to ' inches, south ern to 712 inches.

MEL9A AS A WHISTLER.

Melba, when a pupil at the Ladies Presbyterian college, was al- ready famous among her fellow pu- pils-as whistler. She could stick two fingers into one corner of her mouth and whistle as long and as loudly as the most accomplished lar rikin. We may be thankful that her early ambitions were shunted.

corn can be improved materially.
 The kernels should extend over the tip of the ear in regular rows, and be uniform in size and shape They should extend over the butt of the ear i'll reg ular rows and be we'll developed and uniform.
 A perfect tip has a central kernel called the cap, which is completely surrounded with uniform kernels. A perfect tip is rarely found, but those which come nearest to the ideal should be chosen, provided it is not at the ex- pense of other more important factors. The tip kernels are likely to be finty and of a pop corn shape, which is un- desirable in dent corn. If bare tips are noticeable to quite an extent throughout the field, it may be due to the fact that the silks representing the tip kernels which were formed last were too late to receive the pollen to fertilize them. If ears having defec- tive tips are used for seed, their un- desirable characters win soon become permanent. Open tips usually accom- pany shallow and irregular kernels on the ear which makes the kernels on that part of the ear undesirable for planting, on account of lack of uni formity.
 In judging the character of the butt of an ear of corn, the way in which the rows come over towards the shank is important. If the corn comes in too close, the ears may drop off the stalk during the ripening and not full ly mature. All ears which have butts improperly filled should be rejected Corn breeders in desiring to get a large proportion of corn to the cob often choose ears with too small an at tachment for the shank. The butt and the tip kernels are rejected for plant ing, because they are more likely to be mixed with other varieties and owing to their peculiar formation, they are not uniform. and interfere in the planting. They also seem weaker in germinat.on and are moro tardy in

growth than kernels from the middle parts of the ear.
 Kernels should be of perfect wedge shape, narrower or wider at the point, according to the variety characteris- tics.
 They should be uniform in shape, size and color and true to the type or variety. The crown or big end of the kernel should be such that the edges of the kernels slope from tip to crown. The tip of the kernel, which Is the part attached to the cob and contains the germ Is rich in protein and oil and of the highest feeding value. For this reason a plump tip usually indi. cates vitality.
 The kernels on the cob may be ir- regular, being deeper at the butt than at the tip. This makes the kernels non-uniform in size and renders the corn almost wholly unfit for seed. No machine will plant kernels of this type so as to get uniform stand. Kernels with weak or shrtyeled tips

McGary, a blacksmith on Broad street, testified to having employed Robbie for a short time during the spring, all ways finding him trustworthy. Re. called to the stand, Capt. Arnold fur ther testified that for two days after his apprehension the accused had de- nied all knowledge of the whereabouts of a ring stolen recently from Mrs. Benjamin, but which was later pro duced from his shoe.
