Corn of excessive dimensions and large
kernsls is exhibited in the display win
dow at the New England Fruit store and
to such degree has the cereal attracted
interest among local people who dabble
in corn culture that the proprietor of the
store has been besieged with requests for
seed samples. One ear measures -
inches in length and others in the exhib-
it, which was taken at random from a
corn field in Virginia, are nearly as large
1t is explained that the Virginia farm
er, after planting six kernels to the HILL
weeds out all but two stalks, process
which brings the sun and soil nourish-
ment to bear out relatively small unit
Of cultivation.
Not often in these days of soaring
prices does a man buy gold nugget with
a load of COAL but b. H. Griffith, a south !
end truckman, is exhibiting a hump of I
metal of auriferous hue which be AYERS
IS worth more than the large-sized pack ,
age of anthracite which the coal passer
at his house few days ago. I
There are acsual differences of opinion ,
among those who have examined the (
nugget, but the truckman has applied 7
several tests to the metal which he de-
'eribers whenever anyone attempts to [
prove that he is wintering chunk of /
ron pyrites or copper ore. The lump a
weighs considerably more than piece of i
oal of the same size and Mr. Griffith is d
lot at all sure that an assayer to whom t
lie will submit the metal for examination
will return an adverse verdict.

'ythian hall last evening under s

animent for Prof. Wilder in his flute e.
Dlos and for Mrs Wilder as the vocal r,
Dloist. The attendance was even larg- O
r than had been expected and the eff d
Drts of the musicians were received
18th a spontaneity of warmth. From {.
he outset attention was directed to m
ne naive accomplishments of the young p,
who acquitted themselves ci
lost creditably. Mrs. Wilder was es- Il
ecially happy in her rendition of Good u
We Summer" mon Couer S'0uvre ia Sc
DIX" and mon Desir." Mr.. Wilder's 81
llents as futist are well known in d.
ARE and his contribution to the even A
g's program was notable one. The pc
'cital, on the whole. proved to be one al
the most enjoyable of the series in la
