CORN'S NATIVE LAND.

Beitof that the drain Originated ia America Spelled by CMaa» B baa been generally believed that Amarine was the- original hesss el corn. Last year a small lot of shelled oom of a kind new to thia country was sent to the department at agri culture from Bhanghal. z 4t proved to have qualities that mayGnake it value bio in breeding a eom adapted to the hot and dry conditions of the south west The planta raised in the teal averaged lees than six feet in height, with/ an average of twelve green leaves at the tfano of tasseUln*. The oars averaged five and a half inches in length and four and onothM inches in greatest circumference; with sixteen to eighteen rows of small grains. On the upper part of the plant, the leaves are all on one side of the stalk instead of being arranged in two rows on opposite sides. Besides this, the upper leaves stand erect in stead of drooping, and the tips of the leaves are therefore above the top si the tassel. The silks of the ear are produced at the point, where the leal blade is joined to the leaf shfeath, and they appear before there is any sign of an oar except a slight swelling. This corn is very different from any that is now produced in America. Its peculiar value is that .the erect an rangement of the leaves on one side of the stalk and the appearance of the silks in the angle where the lead blade Joins the sheath, offer a protect ed place in which pollen can settle and fertilise the silks before pollens, tlon. While this corn may be of little value itself, it is flkey that by cross breeding these desirable qualities can be imparted to a larger corn, which will thus be better adapted to the southwest The experts say that this particular corn is so different from anything fa the now world that it must have boon developed in the old world, and intb mate that com was grown in Chins many years before the voyage of Cob umbua. The fact that this admission Is made by experts of a department which has a cabinet officer from this country's greatest corn state ia interesting.

The Flirting Widow.

Jock Anderson was industriously wooing a wealthy widow, who was fair, fat, and forty, with every prospect of a successful issue, tor his affections were abundantly returned. But in aa evil moment one of Jock’s chums mentioned that a gentle bint, suggest ing flirtation on the part of the lady, would constitute a piece of irresistible This idea Jock put tnunedt ately into practice by writing a long amorous letter which, no doubt, would have captured both tho widow and her money had he punctuated property. This is the sentence that settled poor Jock’s chance: "I consider you brutal and jealous though you may fancy me a little adr dieted to flirting." On perusing the above sentence the widow immediately visited Jock; she stormed at him, swore at him, and eventually swooned. Jock explained, and punctuated the objectionable sen> tence with tadpoles, making it read: "I consider you, brutal and jeaload though you may fancy me, a little addicted to flirting.” But nothing could Induce the widow to see aught but a slight on herself and her stoutness, punctuate as he would. The widow is no longer a widow, but, alas! Jock is not her husband.

Subsolilng with Dynamite.

"Strange are some of the fanning methods of California,” said Benjamin Mann, of Gbrmantown, who recently returned from a visit to the Pacific coaat "One day in the vlm country I heard a tremendous bang; bang, banging, and started from my seat, thinking that a dreadful explosion had occurred. But my host told me, with a laugh, that his men ware merely plowing with dynamite. Then he went on to explain that when it was desired to loosen up the soil to a depth of three feet or so dynamite cartridges were set ia the earth and fired off. They broke up the ground beautifully. They did the work mueh better, and much more cheaply, than any machine or any manual labor could do. And, in addition to this; they destroyed the parasite called the phylloxera, the bane of the vine growers. No vineyard whose soil had been dynamited, my host said, over softfared from the pttyUoxera afterward."

Birth of the Theatre.

The theatre is the creation of the ancient Greeks. The drama, in the true sense of tbs word, was bom in Athens immediately after the great victory over tbs Persians, B. C. 1500480. The famous Dtanyaiao Theatre at Athens was completed about B. 0. 840. Romo was never much on the theatre. In Borne there was far too much real tragedy every day, 00 that the people had no ooeaaton to mimic it on the stage. It was as late as Bi C. 114 when the first permanent playhouse was erected In Rome by Cossiua. Even aa late so ■; O. M Pompey had all ho coold do to make the theatra popular ia the Florae 1 City.

Short Sermons FOR A Sunday Half=Hour

A GOSPEL OF LEISURE.

By REV. GEORGE CLARKE PECK.

"Como ye yourselves apart Into a desert place, and rest awhlfe.”—Mark vL, 81. ■ _ L.. 20

Life is not all work days; it inetudes holidays. To know the importance and use of • "day off" la <m>y lees vital than to realise the importance and use of •day on." Every man should understand both the Gospel of Toll and the Gospel of Leisure, But a real Googol of Leisure can never be preached to any except tired people. One of my friends used to boast that he had ndt taken a summer holiday in sixteen years. He looked so righteous when ho said it that he made the rest of us feel half ashamed that we were planning for a summer vacation. Moreover, he was a devout man. But his boasting was Uke that which one might make concerning the magnitude of the mortgage on his house or the number of carbuncles he had undergone. Weariness is a claim. AU the world needs an outing. Millions of people need fresh air more than they need an extra sermon. They are too tired to do themselves credit either at work or at church. Oh, the heaven of giving a heaven of respite to jaded bodies and springtese minds! Real leisure must always be earned. By sweat of brew or brain or soul a man must earn his vacation or he will not know what to do with it when he gets it. There Is no such thing es summer holiday aflart from winter workday. The man who failed to put his whole self into his winter's task, the woman who has dawdled and dreamed through a series oi society functions, is ho better qualified to "enjoy" a month of leisure than a sturgeon would be to "enjoy ” s a walk up Broadway. No use to talk about giving vacations to ourselves or others. We cannot give them; they must be earned. Leisure is one of the beautiful things which must be sweat tor before it can be truly possessed.

Vacation —where? In the country if possible. No subeHtute for Mather Nature as a rest gfver has yet been discovered. To get away from the things which man hen made or marred and to get close to things as they come from the hands of God fa a means of re-creation. You can remember the days when your mother took you up into her top and crooned over you and soothed you. Was there ever any other rest like that? I doubt tt. The nearest approach to It, however, is found in the top of nature. By some brook which has been running for ages, under stars which have scarcely winked since Abraham’s day, out on the sea with its reaches of silver and mountains cf form, fdHowlng the trout or study Ing the habits of the thrush, we shall find the most perfect i< ’.'wariness of limb in such avocai. '. refresh the souL "The world to too much with us late and soon, and we must freshen and resanctMy ourselves in the quiet of field ot MIL"

Each Trial Has Its Lesson.

We never halve more than we can bear. The present hour we axe Adways able to endure. As our day, so is our strength. If the trials of many years wefe gathered into one, they would overwhelm us; therefore, in pity to our little strength, He sends first one, then another, then removes both and lays on a third heavier, perhaps, than either; but all is so wisely measured to our strength that the bruised reed is never broken. We de not enough look at our trials in this continuous and successive view. Each one is sent to teach us something, and, altogether, they have a lesson which is beyond the power of any to teach alone. —Scottish Reformer.

The Choir of Birds.

AA toe Chapel of St. • Peter, 1b Florence, there ls‘g choir ot birds, the only one of its kind In existeoMe. The birds—three hundred in number —are aH in separate cages, .which are arranged in rows on both sides of the altar. The lender is a girl, who baa had the birds under her personal training flor over two years. The whole of the muefcal part of the service is most exquisitely rendarod by them. The leader starts each hymn by whistling the first few notes, and then the birds take it up, In obedience to the movomenta of their Instructor's hand.

Real Prayer.

The Jews had a eeytag that eweir erne who multiplies prayer is hoasd. This is probably w>at Jesus meant whan ho bade His disciples la praying art to use vain repetitions end* practfco much sjnslring Christ made grayer a thing of marvelous roeltty.

‘Cheerfully Refunded’

"You say in your advertisements," said the man who had laid a package on the counter, “that you 'guarantee satisfaction or money cheerfully refunded.* " “What's the matter?" asked the head of the department, as a frown overspread his face. “Come, now, you're not looking a bit cheerful I bought a shirt here day. before yesterday and I find that it is not satisfactory. I was told —** "You will have, to see the clerk who sold you the shirt.” "Will he refund the money?" "If he wishes to do so he can." "Ah, over there he is. Here, my friend, do you remember selling this shirt day before yesterday? You told me it was—’’ “I don’t mink I sold you the shirt. I never saw you before.*’ "Yes you did. You sold me this shirt and guaranteed that it-—" “No, you are mistaken, I never guarantee anything.” "You don’t, oh? Well, you advertise that you guarantee satisfaction or. money cheerfully refunded. Here. Look at this paper. This is your ‘ad,* isn’t it?” "This is today’s paper. It hasn’t anything to do with day before yesterday." “Where’s the proprietor of thia store?" "You’ll find him back In the office." After ho had waited around for nearly an hour the man with the shirt succeeded in intercepting the proprietor as he was trying to slip out to luncheon. "You advertise that - the money is cheerfully returned when the goods you sell are not satisfactory.” "I must ask you to talk to the clerk you bought the goods from. 1 don’t know anything about this matter." "I have talked to the clerk, and he says you are the only one who cheerfully returns money. This shirt —” "You will have to excuse me. I’m in a hurry. Go to the dork.” “I’m in a hurry, too. I’ve wasted a lot of valuable time here now, and I want to get this matter straightened out The clerk-Miays he doesn’t do the guaranteeing and can’t therefore, cheerfully refund. The head of the department looked unhappy when I asked him if he would cheerfully refund, and now I find that you are not inclined to be cheerful when I ask you to return my money." “You are insulting, sir. I don’t wish to have any further argument with you. Mr. Walker, will you please step this way? Did you sell this man a shirt?” "I don’t remember him at all.” "Here," said the man who wanted his money cheerfully refunded, as he tore the wrapper from the shirt, "you can see that this came from your stock, can’t you?” "Well, what’s the matter with it, anyway?” asked the proprietor. “It isn’t satisfactory, that’s all. You advertise that you cheerfully refund money when goods are not satisfactory. I want my money back. Now, will you cheerfully return it?” “Take this order to the cashier,** said the proprietor-as he permitted a look of disgust that was not unmlxef with anger to overspread his countenance, "and your dollar and a hall will be returned to you." "But are you cheerful? I don't want the money unless you can bs cheerful when you return it I could wear the shirt if necessary, you know, Still, I thought that if it would make you* cheerful to return the money because the goods you sold me did not give satisfaction I ought to— ** "Say, are you crazy?” "No, I am an altruist I believe is spreading cheer wherever I may, When I*read your advertisement 1 came here and purposely bought a shirt that was two sizes too large foi me, so that I might bring it back and give you a chance to cheerfully re turn my money. I think every man owes it to his fellow men to makt them cheerful whenever and however he may. 'I see that you are not in dined to be cheerful, and I am son ry. I will, therefore, keep the shirt and bid you good day." "That man ought to be looked after by the police,” said- the head of the shirt department "He’s as mad as a March hare," ■aid Mr. Walker, the clerk. “I believe,” mused the proprietor, “I’ll take the word ‘cheerfully* out of my advertisement There’s no knowing what that crank’s next idea may be.’’—B. E. Kiser, In Chicago Record-HeraM.
