Big Ear* of Cora. The Kansas City Star opened Its columns recently to a discussion concerning the size of the big ears of corn raised in Kansas and Missouri last summer. There was hardly a farmer in either 8taie that did not have a story to tell. Ears-of corn with 1100 and 1200 grains In them seem to have been matter* of common occurrence. Others went as high as 1400 and 1500. Ed Johnson .of Kackley. Kan., for example, went into one of his fields one day and picked at random four ears, which averaged 1222 grains each. A hniiman a# Uortfawl Tfnn fnnn/1 an ear which was only twelve inches Ion;, bnt had twenty-six rows of grains, making 1408 all told. L. P. Monnot, of Oklahoma, reported an ear of corn twelve Inches in length and eleven in circumference. But all these are iieaten by one ear which was raised by C. H. Cleveland, of Tulsn, I. T., In VJOl. This ear had thirty rows of jrrain* around it and fifty-six grains lengthwise. The to:al numlnr of grains on the cob was 10SU. This is a record still to be beaten. . One-Sided IlnUdlng*. "A pood many people find fault wltli some of the new buildings we are putting up. on the srround that they are one-sided." s-alil one of tlit- superintendeats employed l?y a larpc construction company. "I*?y this it is meant that they appear architectural!? Incomplete. Main entrances are placed at apparently incouvenient corners, and larpc windows nn<] prominent urcoranou* that rightfully belong in certain wo tioiis, to insure a harmonious whole, are now sadly out of place. This lack of uuifortuity is due to the fact that tuauy buildings in course of constructioo are uot being put up in their entirety. In may cases it has been found impracticable to break the lease for houses on adjoining property which was meant to be incorporated into the area of the new building, consequently the work progresses in sections.

New Orleans Times-Democrat. Ethan Allan aa a Prisoner. In Professor Justin H. Smith's paper jn the Century. "The Prologue of the American Revolution." is this scene between General Prescott. the British Commander in Montreal, and Ethan Allen, who has jnst been- captured before the city during Montgomery's Canadian expedition. It wns an extraordinary scene. On the one hand stood a British officer, a professional soldier, a graduate of society, well groomed, handsomely uniformed. sword at side, cane In hand. On the other hand was Allen, a son of the forest, rough, unkempt, a chief of what seemed to Arnold even like "wild men." dressed In a deerskin jacket, with underrest and breeches of sagatby. cowhide shoes fortified with hobnail?, and a red woolen cap on hi* unruly hair, all stained with dust and inire and smoke. "Who are you? What is your name?" demanded Prescott in a tone to make the spotless quail. "My name Is Allen." "Arc you the Allen who. took Tl* conderoga ?" "The very man." At this Prescott "put himself In ft great fury." as Allen afterward said, brandished bis cane over the prisoner's bead, and loaded bim witb bard names. Allen shook bis fist at bim. "Offer to nirxtce. ana mm s me urrutr ui ??uitallty for you. I'm not used to being caned." he thundered. Prescott then turned his roiling eye upon the captured Canadians, and ordered a sergennt and his giiprd to bayonet thorn. This was too much for their leader. Stepping between his men aud the soldiers, Allen tore open his rest and shirt, laid bare his tawny l>o?om, and cried to Prescott: "I am th? nnn trt iil.itup nnf flier. Thrust your bayonet into my breast, if anybody's. Tbey would have doue nothing but for me." The Commandant hesitated. but finally told the prisoners with an oath that he would let them live to grace the halter at Tyburn. The scene was epic, and Allen won even Carleton's admiration; but that did not save him from a short sojourn in the hold of the Gaspc and a long one in Pendennis Castle. The Trail*)'? Right of Way."
