Wide Variation in
Vitality of Seeds

In the past there was perhaps NO
other trade In which swlndllng was so
rampant as In that OF the sule OF
seeds. The artless dealer Of half Il
century ago adulteWted his goods by
adding considerable proportion Of
boiled seeds
The seed adulteration net put n stop
to that practice, but not to the sale of
dirty and old seeds. Most seeds are
dirty" when fresh gnthered-that IL,
they contain considerable percent.

seed houses possess elaborate and
costly machinery for cleaning says
London Answers.
Glover seed has 10 be carefully

will be crop Of all kinds Of perniclous
weeds In the clover field. Some weed
seeds, such MS those OF the dodder are
so tiny that It Ii almost impossible to
detect them except under strong

Seeds vary In their powers of retain.

beans will retain vitality for many
years, others, such as those Of the

season. Seeds of the willow and the
poplar are so short-llved that unless
they land at once in a moist place,
they die In few days.

Salesman Had AnstOer
for Silly Old Saying

A salesman In an Iowa town called
on storekeeper who had an old
fashioned store In splendid location
The salesman was Of the creative type
and was urging the storekeeper to
change his methods, and to adopt new
selling ideas
The reply Of the storekeeper was ::
"Oh, these old methods were good
enough for my dad and I guess they're
good enough for me-"
The salesman answered, and he
could make this answer because OF his
experience and familiarity with the
situation: "Your dad, when he es-
tabllshed this store, was the most
progressive merchant Of his time
that's why he won success. II he had
been content with the methods of your
grandfather he would never have es.
tablished any business at all Your
dad, and knew him well, never re
fused to consider new ideas; he adopt
ed the things that had proved success
full with other merchants. II he were
alive today he would he the first one
to recognize that the community your
store is serving Is greatly changed,
and that new methods must be adopted
to take advantage Of new conditions .

Certainly the most destructive Of
human emotions is that of jealousy.
With the exception Of love ana war
nothing ems TO be so provocative to
the green-eyel monster, who seems TO
have the faculty of consuming all
those who admit him to their souls, MS
music A list of the famous musical
jealousics would be interesting. II
would run into the hundreds. Opera
companies are usually nests of jeal-

Possibly one of the most famous
cases Of musical pealousy is that Of
Henry Cooke, deceased OG72), Cooke
was a fighter who glorled in the term
of captain. He Joined the kings army
and fought bravely It Is said, but
when the commonwealth came into
existence he was obliged to make
his living teaching music. Eventually
he became gentleman and master of the
children when the chapel royal was es-
tabllshed again in 1850. There he had
as his pupils no less than Purcell,
John Blow and Pelham Humphrey.
Humphrey so closely initiated the
work of his master that after some
time he was able to supplant him in
his state position. Captain Cooke flew
into a rage of Jealousy, and this CON

Gates" Word Little Used

The word "cates," meaning duinty
foods, Is probably never used except
in poetry, and seldom there, yet we
call the person who caters for our
food caterer and In that form the
word Is OF everyday occurrence.
1t has come into some prominence
lately In connection with the fifth cen
tenary celebrations of the famous
Dick Wilmington, whose fame rests
more solidly on his possession of II
cat than upon any municipal honors
which came to him, observes London
Tit-Bits.
There have been all manner Of
learned discussions as to Whiting
toms cat, one of which pointed to the
probability that this city merchant
had ship called the Cat But the
late Professor R0wley Of Bristol was
perfectly sure that eat was nm alb
