Shadwell. ~-<'. ...e:-.,.,... - : .-s<.
The then Duke of Newcastle had
commenced to cut down the timber at
Clumber in such a rapid and wholesale
manner as to raise the anger of his
eldest son, Lord Lincoln, who, finding
expostulation useless, turned to the
law and sought an injunction to re-
strain his father. Although it was
long vacation, he ordered his solicitor
to press matters forward, for the mag
nifcent trees were falling at an alarm
ing rate.
So up to town posted the attorney
and had the af1idavits drawn up the
same night. The following morning
he repaired to the vice chancellor's
house on the banks Of the Thames, to
find OH his arrival that the chancellor
had gone for his mornings swim.
With exemplary presence of mind he
chartered a boat and after a stiff pull
came up with the judge and at once
stated his case. Meanwhile the vice
chancellor trod water and. on the in
junction being formally applied for,
granted it forthwith and resumed his
swim.-Tit-Bits.

Directions for Testing Seed Corn.

From fifteen to twenty ears of corn
will plant an acre. If one of the
ears planted fails to grow, about 6
per cent of the stand is lost. If two
ears fail to grow, II per cent is lost.
About fifteen minutes of time are
required to test enough corn, by the
Individual ear method, to plant an
acre. This method is economical,
and enables'on to weed out all poor
and weak ears.
Some convenient method must be
used to number the. ears. If no bet
ter way suggests itself, lay the ears
on a plank with nails driven 2%
inches apart to keep them separate.
A termination box "a inches square
and three to five inches deep is large
enough to test 100 single ears of corn
at one time. and leave a margin
around the sides of the box Partly
fill the box with sand or sawdust;
moisten with warm water; cover
with cloth marked off in tWo-inch
squares and numbered with a lead
pencil. Place six kernels from differ
ent parts of ear No. on square No.
l, etc. Reading the list is easier if
all kernels are placed germ side up,
and tips pointing all in the same
direction. When all of the squares
are filed, cover with plain cloth and
little more Sand, sawdust, or a
piece Of quilt. Keep moist; leave
from five to seven days in a warm
room, and count. Use seed corn of
the strongest terminating power
that it is possible to get. Count as
terminated only such kernels as
start strong and show both stem and
roots. The Extension Division, Uni

Ruskin on Doctors Fees,

The problem of the doctor and his
fee was admirably stated by Ruskin
in his Grown of Wild Olive.'' Writing
Of doctors, he said: They like fees, no
doubt-ought to like them-yet. if they
are brave and well educated the entire
object Of their lives is not fees. They,
on the whole, desire to cure the sick
and-if they are good doctors and the
choice were fairly put to them-would
rather cure their patient and lose their
fee than kill him and get it. And SO
with all other brave and rightly trained
men their work is first, their fec sec.

The Mexican republic is still in

The Mexican republic is still in a
state of unrest and it is a question
whether even the despotic assassin,
Huerta, is equal to the task of put
ting down the revolution. Porfirio
Diaz now declares that he will not
return to his beloved Mexico unless
the United States intervenes, and
adds that in such event every Mexi-
can would turn upon the invader,
the revoluti on: would be forgotten.
An invasion, then, would probably
be the easiest way to restore peace.
