Ears should be of medium size, not
too long nor too short. II they are
too long they are likely to mature
late; if they are too short, they will
mature too early and will not produce
Ias large a quantity Of corn. Ears
which are too large around are late
maturing and are likely to have too
much cob; while ears which are toe
slender will not yield large amount
sof corn.
Now We know what sort of an ear
lis best for seed, but why should We
select 1t so early and why gather. ii
from the field? This Is so we may
select as seed, corn which natures
early. In short seasons, when the
ifrosts come late in the spring or early
lin the fall, late maturing corn will
mot ripen for seed. We should have
corn which we are sure will ripen be
fore the frosts. You understand, OF
course, that If frost touches the corn
before it ripens, the germ may be de
Istroyed and this corn will not grow
When it is late enough so that al
the corn Is ripened, we cannot tel
(which ears ripened early; so We viii
go into the field early and gather oul
corn, selecting that which is already
lmatured.
Then we must know the type o.

select what they consider good ears
Lof corn. Now, look them over for
Istrong and weak points.
They haven't been told what to look
for? True-but let US not tell them;
let US work 1t out together.
Shell off half the corn from two or
three ears, keeping that from each
Iear by itself. Measure the amounts
and compare them. Can you tell by
hooking at the half-shelled ears why
one ear produces a larger amount OF
shelled corn than another ear Of ap-
Iparently the same size?
We must examine the kernels more
closely. Some are too short, some
taper too much. some are chaffy.
Some will not drop evenly in the

CENTURY OF MAP CHANGING
How Lines Have Been Moved Back and
Forth In Europe In Constant
Series Of Warfare.

A hundred years ago Napoleon Bona
parte, who had some plans for the re-
arranging of the map of Europe. went
down in defeat before those plans
were completed. Others rearranged
the map Of Europe. but not ultimately
according to his notions For half Of
the century after his Waterloo the
process continued briskly. For the
second half Europe was more settled.
There could be no more effective re-
view Of the century than Prof A. M.
Wheeler's famous lecture on the bat
tie of Waterloo.
Perhaps the centenary of the turning
point in Napoleon's career would ar
rest little attention, were 1t not for
the upheaval Of Europe now in process.
Napoleon exalted war, and his down
fall but shifted the laurels to other
brows, while the process OF exaltation
went on. That which is now in op-
Grafton Is a process of wars downfall.
How much Of alteration Of the map
will follow Is uncertain, nor is 1t es-
sential. 1t is probable that we have
arrived near to the end of map chang
ing, az such. And the chiefest rea-
son for recognizing the downfall Of
Napoleon is its prophecy. about to be
fulfilled after the lapse of a century

Love By q Man Who Knows.

Marriage must rest upon love
What a world of wisdom does a
repeater of shallow maxims and
trite truism feel he has put forth
when he utters this popular mod
ern basis of matrimony. What is
love? Sexually, perhaps, it is a
peculiar attaction that two persons
of opposite sex have, one for the
other. A woman may be fond of
a man because he represents to her
comfort, dependability, kindness.
consideration. She may be fond of
him, because Something in him has
aroused some slight fire that CLOVIS
and kindles in response to his
passion. She may be fond of him
because he is hers and she has no
one else to turn to. or to lean upon
She may care for him because he
appeals to her instincts to mother,
to fuss over and to minister to.
Her fondness may rest upon
strong mutual interest in wringing
living or some measure of ease
and luxury from the world. 1t is
not unusual for a woman to be
quite indifferent to a man, when
she permits him to lead her to the
altar, and then, as the months and
years 60 by. become quite fond of
him. Primarily a mans love for a
woman rests upon the manner in
which she arouses his emotions.
The woman whose personality ex-
presses the acme of this appeal to
men may marry most any unat
tached man of her acquaintance
So it follows that many men are
not permitted to marry the woman
who would attract them most
They may have to stand and see
her born away by another. But
they reconcile themselves to the
inevitable, usually without giving
an outward sign and seek consola-
ton elsewhere. So it is that love
is not a thing supernal or eternal.
1t is of the earth earthly and of the
clods cloddy. 1t may consist of a
first. a second, yes even a third or
fourth choice. So let us remember
that being of the flesh and this
world. love must be strongly mixed
with common sense. mutual for
bearance and a reasonable spirit of
tolerance. Otherwise it will rarely
stand that long. hard and trying
strain of the most intimate, trying
and crucial relation in all of life

School Pupils Savings.

The constant drive for thrift" is
having effect not only among the
older people, but among school
children, as seen by the report of
sixty-one savings banks formed in
as many Chicago public schools
last year. The report shows that
1888 children saved $27,11594
and of this amount $11,200.90 has
been transferred to regular banks.
Six pupils of the seventh and
eighth grades conduct the banks.
Any sum from five cents up may
be deposited, and as soon as a
pupils account amounts to SIS. it is
transferred to a regular bank and
an account with the pupil is open
ed. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that rural schools will adopt the
teaching of thrift as a subsidiary
course.

SWEDEN PLANS PROTEST
AGAINST BRITISH POLICY
Objects to stoppage Of Parcels Post
Service With United
''''''' States.

BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville, De-
cember 20.-Sweden has decided to
make an energetic protest to Great
Britain against the stoppase by British
authorities in Kirkwall Of the parcel
post service between Sweden and the
United States. The Swedish govern
ment also has ordered all parcel post
from England in transit across Sweden
to be held up indefinitely. This means
the complete stoppage Of the Anglo
Russian parcel post service until the
Swedish protest Is needed.
The Swedish government, according
to Information received here, will no.
tify the United States of this new meas
ure. The protest Is based on the Brit
ish action Of taking sealed sacks of
parcel post mail from the steamer Hell
ltg Olav on her last voyage from New
York and in removing the entire parcel
post from the outgoing steamer Stock
holm. formerly the Holland-American
liner Potsdam, and now owned by the
