PHARAOH'S CORN PAKE.
Crop Proves to Have Come from Seed a
Boy Planted.
Stray Stories.
Some time ago there was a won
derful story in the European journ
als about certain grains of ancient
Egyptian corn which had been plan
ted in Germany and had come to
life.
The grains, they said, had been
found in an Egyptian sarcophagus
and had been planted by a Dresden
florist. Some days later the corn
appeared above ground, much to
the surprise of scientists, who did
not suppose that there was any life
in grains which were from 4,000 to
5,ooo years old. The corn, how
ever, was certainly growing, and
even the most incredulous among
them soon became convinced that
grains have a lease of life to which
there is practically no limit.
Alas! A boy employed by the
Dresden florist has now confessed
that he planted some other grains
In the same place where his master
had planted the Egyptian ones and
only a few hours after the florist
completed his work. This was sad
news for the scientists and for the
numerous journalists who had writ
ten enthusiastically about the mira
culous qualities of the ancient
grains.
- The October National
The October number of the Na
tional Magazine of Boston is high
water mark for that periodical.
Among the contributers of special
articles and current comment are
Poultney Bige'ow, Senator Tillman,
Dallas Lore Sharp, Charles Fergu
son, Dr. Felix Oswald, Major R.
S. Porter, .Colonel James Matlack
Scovel, George T. Richardson, Kate
Sanborn, Joe Mitchell C'apple and
Frank Putnam. The story tellers
of the number are Eva Hampton
Prather of Atlanta, Carrie Hunt
Latta of Indianapolis, Jack B. Nor
man and Ellis Parker Butler of
New York, Henry Oyen of Chicago,
H. Arthur Powell of Conneticut and
Abbie Libbey Holmes of Wiscon
sin.
The poets are Yone Noguchi, the
Japanes, celebrity; Helen Hicks of
Ontario, Oscar Johnson of Iowa,
"Columbine" of New Orleans and
Mrs. Robert N. Pollard of Vir
ginia.
Senator Tillmnan predicts the re
peal of the amendment granting
suffarage to the negro; Major Por
Ster reports vividly a bit of savage
fighting in the Philippines; Poult
ney B3igelow w~rites a rollickinug
story of a canoe trip in an Alpine
stream. Charles Ferguson's Gen
ius of Business comes to a brilliant
conclusion in this number. Not
the least striking feature of the
number is a little Indian girl's
prize story of howv she got an In
dian hunter to subscribe for the
Magazine.
November DesIgner.
Fashions for cold weat her wear are
effectively displaye ' in the November
Designer, and( thle tiandsomeoillusetra
tionis are accomnIpan ied by d1 ecrip
ti31ns which tell j ust what materials
and trimmings to employ to obtain
the hest results. Those who must
perforce seleet mourning outfits will
find this a most valuable number,
for it makes such garments anid
Imillinery a epIoeialty. In Thlanksm
giving features the November D)esignm
or is wvonderfully at rong, as witness
"Harvest, Festivals," by Johnm De
Morgan, "'A Thanksgiving (Celebra

under "Making an Early Start for

port," by Liliat C. Paschal, is'
an article which will be read with
interest by every woman, whether
she be in the business field or the
home club, and closely akin is the
popular department "What Women
Are Doing." Two altogether cham
ing features of this number
are the pictorial pages show
ing babies of all kinds, an"d the de
lightful drill and play for tiny tote
entitled "The Old Woman Who
Lived in the Shoe," which Miss
Mabel Humphreys has illustrated in
her original and dainty style. The
many household departMeLts which
have given The Desiner such a hold
on the feminine fancy are filled thig,
month with appropriate and valua
ble items. How such an excellent
magazine as this can be issued with
profit at eigty cents a year is a mys
tery which only its publishers can
solue.
A copy of the pamphlet, "Princi
ples of Profitable Farming," is
before us In a new and revised edi
tion.
The principles of rotation with
leguminous crops and the great ad
vantages to be derived by such
methods are explained in the
pamphlet in a fascinating manner.
A description of the Experiment
Farm at Southern Pines, N. C.,
where the best methods of using
fertilizers are being studied and put
into practice, is also a valuable fea
ture of this publicatiorn.
A thorough perusal of the book
