CIsYe laud's Return. Washixoto:?, D. C, November 18.? The Washington Star Bays: PlanB for next Spring are already be? ing discussed by President HarriBon and his family looking forward to vaca? ting tho executive mansion on March 4th. There will probably bo a general breaking up and separation of tho fami? ly.' The President will return to Indianapo? lis and make his home there for thepres ent. It is probable that Russell Harri? son and his wife will reside in Indianap? olis also, making their home with Gener? al Harrison, Mrs. McKee, with little Benjamin and little Mary, will go to Bos? ton after March 4tb. Mr. McKeo has es? tablished himself in business there and has built a house thore. General Harrison may make them a visit in the spring. Dr. Scett, Mrs. Harrison's brother, will live with the President. Mrs. Dlmmick will remain in Washington with Lieutenant and Mrs. Parker. Mrs. Cleveland will return to Wash? ington with as happy anticipations as these in which the president-elect has such good reasons to indulge. The hold she has np?n the admiration and affec? tion of the women of thia broad land has probably never been equalled, and the satisfaction they will feel in seeing hor again as mistress of the white honso is unbounded. She has achieved distinc? tion in the social world of New York City, but is not spoiled by the flattering attentions that have been howered upon her In every direction She has mingled in society there much more extensively than she did here, and she will como back to the white house equipped with experience whioh will be most valuable toner In the enlarged sphere of ac? tion in which she will be the moving spirit. Industries Will Thrive. Nw York, Nov. IS.?Gen. W. H. Jackson, a prominent Democratic leader in Tennessee, who presided at the con? vention that nominated Judge Turney for Governor, arrived in New York last night. Speaking about the result and the effect of the Presidential oloction ho said to-day: "Cleveland's election will give a very great impetus to the industries and de? velopment of the South. During his administration the South prospered as at no time before or since. But the Repub? lican policy and the menace of the pas? sage of the forco bill tended to retard the growth of industries, kept out invest? ment and unsettled confidence in the fu? ture of the South. Since the election I have heard men say confidence is restored and that industries will thrive. North? ern capital is largely invested in South? ern States. It has been suspected that the iron manufacturers of Pittsburg are interested in seeking to injure, their. Sorjihomri?al8,-6nd-al80 "in having the force bill used for that purpose. "flow do I account for Cleveland's election T I think be won because be gave an honest administration ; because the people believed iin him. I believe that he is the only man who has occupied the Presidency since the foundation of the government who over had a real con? cern for and interest in the great masses of the laboring people of America. That is why he won the nomination over the politicians, and the election. "The People's party failed to develop much strength in the South, because it, like all other offshoots, aro looked upon as handmaids to tho Republican party." ??Sugar fifteen times sweeter than that produced from the cane is being made from cotton seed grown at Witu. ? Sherman, Texas, has a $90,000 jail from which ten prisoners recently escaped by sawing through iron bars with a 35 cent file. ? A Kentucky cattle dealer has ship god 700 fine Durham cattle to England for hristmas beef, part of which, he says, is for Queen "Victoria. ? The Tennessee Democrats did some tall work when thoy elected "Old Pete" Tnrney to the Governorship. He stands six feet and four inches in his stockings. ? Mr. Moody is expected to hold re? vival meetings in Chicago next year throughout the whole Exposition period. With the Fair closed on Sundays and the saloons all open, he will have a splendid field for missionary work. ? It is stated that a number of fine ho? tels have been erected during the pres? ent year that have omitted the number thirteen in numbering the rooms. Many hotels long in operation alao have this pe? culiar omission. ? Col. William L. Brown, of the New York Daily News, won 586,000 in his bets on the election. He was one of the first men to sustain his opinion after Mr. Cleveland's nomination in Chicago and he held his ground against all cemors un? til tho nigh t before eleotion. ?

It la hardly appropriate lor men who last May voted Grover Cleveland to be "no Democrat" and the "tool of the mon? ey kings," to tumble over each other in their eagerness to seek office at his hands. The men who passed these infamous res? olutions against tho earnest appeals of good Democrats are down on the reoord and they cannot erase thoir names.? Col? umbia State. ? We are all prone to retaliate for por sonal slights, but perhaps the funniest incident of it is one of an old Irish wo? man who, seeing a funeral to which she had oxpected an invitation pass her door, expostulated angrily: "Oh, go on wid yo! go on wid ye ! go on wid ye 1 But maybe there'll be a funeral at our house soon, and then we'll seo who'll bo axed." ? The Memphis Commercial had the following headlines the other day: "Hell and Vermont are all that is left of the grand old party. The Democrats have gobbled the rest of the creation. Illinois heads the funeral of the festering corpse. Indiana winks the other eye and shouts a hearty amen. Tho dull! thud of some? thing dropped in Kansas and Nebraska, and it is rumored Vermont will make it unanimous. Beautiful Baby Ruth suc? ceeds the McKee kid." ? One of the honored old men of Ken? tucky is Ex-Governor William D. Meri wether, who has recently celebrated his 9Srd birthday. He succeeded Henry Clay in the United States Senate and served with great credit. He was Gov? ernor of New Mexico in its wildest days, and sat in the Kentucky Senate for six? teen yean. Mr. Meriwether is still an active man, and looks like a patriarch with his white hair and long flowing white beard. ?

Not long beforo he died he used to lie in the coffin several times a day "just to try the fit of it," as one of bis old acquaintances says. The bouse was one of the first erected in St. Charles County. ? Chief Smith, of the department of transportation exhibits, has arranged for an exhibit of tho smallest and most unique railroad system in the world. This system is the property of Daniel Coxe, "the j-oung son of E. B. Coxe, of Reading Pa. It is perfect. In its equip? ment, and will be exhibited at tho Fair just as it is now in actual operation on the farm of the father of itsi youug owner. Master Coxe will be in charge of the ex? hibit while it is here. The guageoftha track for this wonderlui system Is nine inches. There are two locomotives, modern and complete in every detail. Each engine draws a train of five cars, and oach car is built to carry two passen? gers. The locomotives are equipped with airbrakes. A rate of speed of ton miios per hour can be attained, and the train can be stopped in less distance than its own length. The cars and locomotives are built on tho scale ofonB-sixththe full size. Space for the exhibit will be pro? vided in tho transportation annex. The toy, if it may bo so called, cost complete about $80,000.?CIticago Daily Inter- j Ocean, I BILL ABP. Ol? Tjong, Woaiinome Btde from the Lone Star State. AKania Conttitution. It is a very old fashioned thing to Bay, but I will say it again, "There is no place like home.'' When I bad filled my last appointment in Tezaa and had boarded tbe train with my face turned homeward I waa bappy?my spirits buoyed me up and I aat lighter on the volvet cushion and every click of tbe wheels over the jointed rails gave a wel? come sound, for it meant that much nearer borne. It was after midnight when I left the nice little town of Frank* lin, and that midnight business has been the moat aerious drawback upon my com? fort and happiness. Moat every night my rest waa broken, for I have to leave a place ia tbe dark and sleepy hours or arrive at one, and it made me tired, very tired. One nigkt I reached my town at 2 o'clock while it was pouring down rain and the little bridge over the ditch by the railroad bad washed away and a tim? ber about six inches square bad been throws across as a substitute. The land* lord had a lantern and led' a woman across very carefully. It seemed to me that if she could walk it I coald, but I bad a keavy valiu ii one hand and a lisrhi ose in tbe other added to my abun? dant corporoeiry and raised my center of gravity beyond reason, and worst of all, just aa the lady kad put her foot ou the greund the polite landlord swung his lantern before ber and left mo in the dark shadow. With one opaamodic leap I made a last Rtep for tbe bank and missed it about a foot. 1 saved by baggage, however, and only got in about ankle deep, but it scared me awfully and I never got over it for an hour. I wish that I bad a picture of that scene. Tbe next night I left at the same hour and by morning I was sick?sick with threatened pneumonia?and when I reached my des? tination I surrendered and went to bed and I dreamed I was in a coffin and was being shipped home in the express car, and it distressed me beyond measure to think bow grieved my family would bV to receive my mortal remains and how they would weep and sob and tell each other of all my virtues and never mention a fault?nary fault. But the good land? lady got hot water and bathed my feet and gave me quiiine and cursed me like a mother, and I survived and got better and shook off my fears and kept out of the coffin, and here I am ia the land of the living where mercy may be sought and pardon found. It was a long, long ride coming bnme, but the drummers kept things lively, for they got on and off at every station and are always cheerful. We all talked politics and banked on Cleveland. Ai Trinity station a man got on the train to go seven miles to the next station and tendered the conductor 20 cents. Captain Mitchell told him polite* ly it would take 28 cents as he had no ticket. The man was cross and defiant, and said he wouldn't pay it. We were hardly out of town when the captain pulled tbe bell rope and gently let him down oa terra firms. Tbe man bad plenty of small change for we saw it, but I think he wanted to get a lawsuit. He declared that he wouldn't pay but 3 cents a mile, ticket or no ticket. Of course be will find a lawyer to take his case, and all for 8 cents in money and a big lot of lacerated feelings. There was a poor sad-faced woman with two children sit? ting not far from me, and as tbe butcher boy went to and fro with bis basket of fruit the little chaps looked wishfully, but their mother shook her head. They made no complaint and seemed to under stand that they were not In it, while the rest of us were enjoying the grapes and bananas. I didn't like that, and so I whispered the boy to give them each an apple and a banana and a paper of grapes and some to the mother and make no siga and pass on. It didn't cost me but 30 cents, but it was worth a dollar to see tbe surprise?tbe timid looks of wondor and of pleasure as they glanced around and ate of tbeir fruit. It was a little thir.g but it made the miles aborter to them nad to me. Try this on some time when you travel. I arrived home just before daybreak and fouud tbe home all dark and still, and the old dog asleep on the piazza. I patted him into silence and then stepped into the parlor and tumbled down upon a Bofa and was soon dreaming, but not of coffins. It waa 8 o'clock before I was found and suddenly I was awakened by soft arms around my neck and a sbowor of iis.es on my old rough face. Mrs. Arp and tbe girls yelled and screamed tbeir heart's delight, for it was the long? est absence I bad made since tbe war, and I will never stay away so long again. I felt something like our big-mouth Bob when he had served out kis two years in the chain-gang for unintentionally killing another negro. Colonel Towers told bim goodby and said, "Bob, you must come and see us again sometime." Bob opened his big mouth and said, "Colonel Towers, dis bore is de longest visit I ever paid any? body in my life, and if you wonts to Bee me any more I reckon you will have to come to my house," But it is all over now and I am bask? ing in tbe sunshine of home and kindred. On top of it all cornea the glorioup vic? tory?a victory that is the harbinger of peace and good will between the sections. The South iB b^ing vindicated at last. I don't know that Confederate money will be good again or that Mrs. Arp will be paid for her barrel of Boap, or that our { crippled soldiers and Confederate widows will be pensioned, but one thing ia cer tniu ; tbe South will get her share of tbe offices and the palronsge of the govern ms-nt. I think I shall take a Kinecuee or a sine qua non or a sine die myself. I have fit enough and now want to retire on half pay. There won't bo enough offices to go all roued, I know, but we can make a few more and cut down the salaries and do pretty well. There is only one cloud over the ganeral hilarity, and that is a feeling of sympathy for the bereaved. It hurts my feelings to see them turn a rascal out, especially when another rascal is turned in m ?11 his j place. But such is polili'.-f* Politic* is a science, and is something butb funny i and fantastic. I beard the other day j about a candidate riding a hundred miles to get proof that his opponent deserted from the Confederate army. He found his witness away out in the country and he said, yes, he knew all about it for they belonged to the same company, and he was sorry to say that Bill did desert and kept hid out until the war was over. So the candidate prepared to take his affi? davit but he did not seem willing to give it. He talked and talked and assarted that Bill waa a deserter and he would swear to it if he was obliged to, but still he wouldn't sign. When finally pressed ; for a reason why, ha said: "Well, stran? ger, I don't want to sign that document, for you see the fact is I deserted with him." But Mr. Cleveland is all right and will reform some things, for the people have spoken and said he must. This great upheaval means something. Why there is no telling how many States and terri? tories he has carried. 1 wouldn't be sur? prised to hear that he had carried Canada and Mexico and the Sandwich Islands, The North and South are coming togeth? er and getting solid all round. Hurrah for Grover! I'm going to send Miss Both a hundred dollar bill in Confederate money. It has been drawing Interest for twenty-nine years aad tho interest keeps marching on. Bill Abp. With Clean Souls and Soles. Fbedbbick, Md., November 8?The autumn love feast and communion of the Dunkards, or German Baptists, of Fred? erick County were celebrated in the tabernacle of that denomination to day. There were over 200 members present. During the several service the churoh was crowded with spectators. After hearing a sermon on the general doctrine, a preparatory service of one hour's dura? tion was held in which all the members were exhorted to carefully and prayer? fully examine themielvei for participa? tion in tho solemnities to follow. A number of long tables covered with white clothes were arranged on both sides and io front of the pulpit, and upon Jhem were placed - k-fiWS. Ji^-^hrks," spoons, bowls, &c., but no plates. Nearly all the women and girls wore plain back dresses and white tight-fitting lace caps. Whan all waa in readiness oae of the elders arose and road tho 13th chapter of St. John, and made an explanation of the Dunkards' modo of worship, quoting pass? ages of Scripture to justify all that waa about to b? done. The Lord himself, be said, had set the example of feet wash? ing, and they could not do otherwise than follow it. They wero taught that "He (Christ) waa the Barne yesterday, to day, aud forever," and consequently if he were present in body now he would do just as He did when on earth. The act of feet washing may appear foolish to those who do not believe in it as a means of grace but there was Scriptural author? ity for the Baying that apparently foolish things aad means wero often said and done to confound the wise. When the speaker had concluded, a hymn was sung, in which were contained the lines: "Before the supper he did eat, he arose aad washed his disciples' feet." The male members thereof divest? ed themselves of their coats and shoes and stockings and immediately perform? ed the ceremony of washing each other's feet. The women did the same for each other. The water was carried in small foot-ba?i tubs. Old gray-haired men and women, as well as the younger por? tion of tho membership, tied white aprons around them and knelt down on the floor. This dono, man and man and woman and woman saluted one another with a kiss on the lips. At the completion of this ceremony all sat down, aad after singing a hymn and giving thanks partook of a sapper con? sist! eg of lamb soup, meat, bread, &o. No plates were used, but at intervals three or four persons dipped with their spoons in the same bowl. Tho supper over, a Bhort period was given for prepar? ation for the administration of the holy sacrameut, this fleet making a distinction between the supper and the sacrament. An address was made by oae of the elders, the holy kiss of charity was given by a man to man and woman to woman, the hymn, "Nearer, my God, to Thee," was sung and then the bread was broken and eaten ; afterward praise and thanks were again rendered, and the entire body drank of tho cup, which act completed the ceremonies.?Baltimore Sun, What lour Great Graiidnictl'.'r Did.

FIERCEST OF FIGHTING. Brilliant Story of Chlckamauga, th? River of Death. As one advances in tbe story of tbe battie of Chickamauga be must, at every step, become more and more impressed with tbe magnificence of the Confederate fighting. Since the first assertion that Chickamauga was for both sides tbe bloodiest battle of tbe war, in proportion to numbers and the time of tbe engage* ment, and that it far outranked in tbe percentage of killed and wounded any of tbe battles of modern Europe; there has been an iadustrioda searching of records, both of our own war and of recent fa? mous campaigns, to teat tbe accuracy of the claims made for Cbickamauga. But tbe further tbe investigation has pro* ceeded, and it is now sufficiently com? pleted to allow general! results to be stated with certainty, the more clearly the truth of tbe first assertion has been made ia appear. It is not strange, therefore, that tbe discussions of the past year, which have served to dispel so many misapprebocsions which clouded tbe public mind in regard to the battle, and dwarfed it in tbe history of the coun? try, should have created such widespread interest in its real history, and raised it at once to tbe vory front rank of tbe moat notable engagements af tbe war. The marvel of German fighting ia the great battle of Mars la Tour was per? formed by the Third Westphalian regi? ment. It suffered the heaviest loss in the German army during the Franco Prussian war. It wont into battle 8,000 streng; and its loss 49.4 per cent. There was nothing in the campaigns for which this formed a part which excoedod these figures, and they became famous through? out the German army. And yet in our war there were only sixty regiments whose losses exceed this. Saventeen of tbem lost about GO per cent, and quite a number of them ranged from 70 to 80. There were ovor a score of regiments on each side at Chickamauga whose loss ex? ceeded that of tbe Westphalian regiment. But the ^jjsclrof this" letteT-isTrrSfe particularly to set forth tbe character of the splendid fighting, performed by every portion of Bragg's army on this noted field in Georgia. The battle of Saturday opened in front of Gen. Brsjanan, oa the extrome Con? federate right, and bare a brigade of Forrest's cavalry, dismounted, assisted almos?, immediately by Coufederata in? fantry, assaulted the Union line. As they were driven back by any over? whelming fire they .were coutiuually reinforced for nearly four hours. The battle was continuous and constantly at short range. In fact, it was a distinguish? ed feature of the whole two day's battle that most of tbe fighting was at a close range, much of it hand to band, with tbe bayonet and clubbed muskets. Forrest's men in front of Braunau assaulted lime and again, marching up in the very faces of the Union infantry, and in their final effort came on four lines deep, with their hats drawn over their faces, and beading forward against the storm of lead as men face tbe elements. Tbe rapid fire of long and well trained infantry seems to have no effect upon veterans, and it was not until they had marched up into the line of fire of bat? teries, which, with doubled sheeted can? ister, eafiladed taeit rank at a murderous range, that their advance was checked. Evon here they stood and fought with desperation. Ector and Wilsons of Walker's division, and Walthall and Govan of Liddell's, all marching to tbe assistance of those contending in this bell of battle, became, in turn, as hotly engaged themselves in front of Baud, and for hours on his portion of the field tbe scene just described on the extreme Confederate right was repealed Car ail of these brigades. At tbe first oaset Wal? thall and Govon drove their Unas over tbe flank of tbe regular brigade and cap? tured its battery, only to be themselves pushed back agaio almost at the bayonet, and so shattered from their courageous exposure at short range as to be practi? cally put out of the fight for several hours. Nothing could exceed the valor of these troops. There waa nothing in tbe way of desperate fighting either of infan? try or artillery which they were not called upoa to face. And they did face it with a courage seldom equalled and which ii was impossible to surpass. Thus the lines of the two armies, marching toward the sound of the furious battle, closed toward the positions of Brannan and Forrest, each striking tbe other as they came into position and within reach with as ponderous aud murderous bluws as over delivered, in wax. Cheatham, moving to the support of Walker, turned on Johnson with irresistible force and drove him well backward toward the La fajivMe road, wkea Palmer, arriving oa Johsvsoa's rigai, .k?a? ivo divisions, act iag in coacert, drove Cheatham back a mile and badly shattered hit entire com maud. Next came Hood with Law and Bush rod Johnson's divisions and one brigade of Preston's and ihcao grappled liue3 of battle that at times were scarcely two rautket lungtlw, and thus until sundown this contest raged in the thick woods be? tween the Lafayette road and the Chick* amtuga, each line bending backward as tho other deliverd its heaviest blows, and as if gathering strength by tho recoil, in almost every instance, rushiug forward again to sway the opposite side backward in turn. Thore was no general stampede on either aide at any point of the Grit day':; battle, but weight of linesland weight of motal and the momentum of blows vigorously delivered controlled the result at every paint. Lato in the ovcuirjg of Saturday, when the Bghtiug oa tbe fl?nkd had well nigh ceased, eaioc Stewart's division of Bato's and Clayton's and Brown's brigades, pounding its way the flank of a third, thoy psnotrated beyond tho Lafayette Road. Bpforo ita brave career was checked it had woll nigh divided the un? ion lino. It is oasy to soe that over all thia oxtondod area of bitter and continu? ous fighting the loss must bavo been ter? rific. The figures to be represented be? low will make the character of thia fight? ing, to which reference haa thus been made is most adequate terms, note clear. ly understood, But stubborn and terrific and deadly as was the Confederate fight* ing of Saturday, it became but ordinary performance when compared with the marvelous exhibition of courage and en? durance which were exhibited in that army on Sunday before the Union breastworks about the Kelley farm and upon tho slopes of Soodgrass hill aod the Horseshore ridge. The Union line about the Kelley farm was established on the crest of a low ridge sheltered by heavy woods, and the troops were protected in their position by a low breastwork of logs and rails vary? ing from two to ' ir feat in height. Time and again from 10 o'clock until 2 the whole right wing of the Confederate army rolled its lines on the slight works in csntinual breakers, only to bo shat? tered and driven back as the waves of the ocean go to pieces on the beach; brigade after brigade daahed themselves against salient of this low work, to be shattered and broken, and to retiro with a loss so great that after 2 o'clock and throughout the most of the afternoon the right wieg of the Confederate lino had so weakened itself by its brilliant, tremendous, and yet inaffective fighting, as to be practi? cally incapable of further effort until much time had been consumed in reor? ganization. But even this fighting, persistent and marvelous as it had been, was surpassed by the wonderful assaults of Loogstreet's wing throughout the afternoon upon the ridges held by Wood and Brannan and Stedman. For an hour after the break took place in the Union line on Sunday the entire Confederate army was assault? ing the Union position. Breckenridge's division, with Helm, Adams and Stovall, was turning the Union left, and . had moved far into the rear, but Helm's brigade, striking the salient of Baird's position, bad been effectually shattered, its commander killed and some of his regiment* almost annihilated. In Breckenridge's division the aggre? gate of loss was 33 per cent. Owing to the loss of its commanding officer, 'the ATJaTnV&ripde" ?t^ii?limBiOfl-^Jom^ manded in the latter part oj the fight by Senator Kandall Gibson. Its loss was 27 per cout., and the loss of men 33 per cent. In Breckenbridge's division Helm, in oommand of one brigade, was killed; Adams, commandiug another, severely wounded; and Graves, the chief of artillery, waa killed. * * * Gist and Colquitt of Walker's had fought with tbe same fierceness and the same want of suscsas. Stewart, in front of Reynolds and Brannan, with his three magnificent brigades of Bate and Clayton and Brown, bad pushed into the very face of the Union line, but still found themselves unable to carry tbe low works before there. At tho same time Law's division of Longstreet bad rushed upon tbe front of Harter, moving across open ground and under heavy enfilading fire of Frank Smith's regular battery, and up almost to tbe mutzlss of the infantry's rifles. In this movement Kersbaw sup? ported Hood, and thus the Union troops on the right had the full view and full experieace of the fighting of Loogstreet's veterans. Bushrod Johnson in front of Braunau, Hindman before Stedman, with Prob ton's strong brigades as a re? serve, alternately assisting on one point and tben on another of tbe ridge?all these covered its long slope almost con? tinuously from noon until dark with lines of assaulting columns. The splendor of such fighting as this is enhanced many fold by the fact that from tbe beginning to the end it was unsuccessful fighting. Ordinary soldiers can be carried forward in a battle so long as success attends their movement, but a test of manhood, of soldierly ability, of courage and endurance which it is diffi? cult to measure and which cannot be overestimated, comes when through a j long afternoon assault after assault seem? ingly in overwhelming numbers, has failed, and when the line of each suc? ceeding advance and retreat is thickly atrewn with dead and wounded, and all the terrible wreck of battle. To say that in the face of such experiences the Con? federate lines were rallied quickly after every repulse and brought forward again to new and over vigorous assaults over slopes thus covered with horrors, is to say that all can be said in praise of tbe valor of tbe officers who directed the sol? diers who executed these marvelous Btorming parties.?Ceo.

At ?. recent dinner of some veterans, there was the u-mal interchange of re miniscenscce, but one story told by an appreciative comrade certainly deserves a wider bearing. It was after the great battle of Bull Buu, and tbe scattered soldiers, most of whom bad just got their first taste of war, were hurrying over tbe long bridge and seeking refuge in the Federal capital. Fverybody looked gloomy, but one man was particularly downcast.

Well, lahouldsay there was matter enough !" "Well, what is it ? You ain't shot are you ?" "Shot! No. Worae, worse ; I've had a terrible loss." "Well, come, comrade, cheer up aud tell me about it." "Well, it was rnr greyhound." "Your greaybound?" "Yes, poor dug, he went into battle wi.th us, aad he came out all risrht; but some where on our way back he got lost. He couldn't keep up."

Ask the first twenty learned men ynu can find and not one of them will be able to tell you. The secret lies in the struct* uro of the grain, which is very wonderful indeed. In the center of each grain of popcorn is tho "germ" of the future plant. It holds tbe vital element of tbe seed. What is it like? Well.it iB about tho size of a large pin-bead. Its outer coat is a membrane of woody matter, inside of which is an oily substance containing nitrogen and phosphorus. Embedod in this oily substance ia the "nucleus." Tbe "nucleus" is the true gem?tho essential life-principle of tbe seed. It is chiefly composed of albumen, and i? jnsfc big enough to be seen with tbe naked eye. Small as it is it contains a mystery which no man has ever solved or ia ever likely to Bolve?the mighty secret of re? production. However, there are more things of interest to be noticed in tbe outer structure of the popcorn grain. Gathered around tbe germ are granules of starch, arranged in layers and so reg* ulurly placed as to resemble a crystalline structure. In fact, like crystals, though tbey are not such, these granules possess the peculiar property of "polariz? ing" light. Seen under the microscope tbey have very beautiful forms. Between each two layers of them is a woody mem? brane, and covering tbe whole is the bard external envelope of tbe corn grain, composed of a woody matter with a large proportion of mineral substances, such as lime, Biles, potash and magnesia. Think what an amazing quantity of nutritious food is thus packed in a little space for the use of the embryo plant, which first absorbs tbe nitrogen and phosphorus contained in tbe so-called "germ" envelope, afterward consuming the starch and so getting ready to sprout. A popcorn grain has precisely tbe same substance as a grain of ordinary corn. It is simply a variety of the same species of plant. Why, then, will not common corn pop ? It will do so, as you can find out ^ym??1fuy4r^r9j?^ nearly so well, though nowand^tfeeTT? a grain will excellently. Tbe reason is that tho starch granules in popcorn are packed more tightly and the woody membranes between the layers are thin? ner and more easily ruptured. Heat causes tbe water that is in tbe starch to expand, the external envelope is burst open and tbe grain turns itself inside out, becoming fifteen times its original size or more and showing the pretty white starch outside. This is the reason why popcorn pops. Tbe best popcorn is the light-yellow kind with small pointed grains. There is hardly a farm in the West that does not have its patch of popcorn for home consumption, but nearly all of tbe pop? corn raised for market is produced in New England. A story is told of a Massachusetts farmer who bad a barn half filled with popcorn newly harvested and "shucked." The building caught fire, tbe popcorn popped and an enor? mous wave of it rolled down bill, cover? ing up the farm houses so that only tbe chimneys were to be seen, and tbe fami? lies bad to be dug out by the neighbors with snow shovels. At present tho busi? ness of manufacturing buttered popcorn is conducted on a vast scale iu Chicago and elsewhere, millions of packages of it being distributed for sale all over tbe United States.? Washington Star. The Wasp. The following is a small boy's composi? tion on a wasp : "A wasp is a six-legged bird that lives mostly in trees and under the eaves of barns, and you cannot taim bim ; he is too busy. Never stroke bis fur tbe wrong way, because it makes bim mad, and when a wasp is mad I don't want nothing to do with them. He has what they call a "stinger," and when be goes out a stingering, boys muBt keep away from bim. I leaned up agin once wbon he was busy; and I jumped es much as a feet; ma bad to put u mud pie on tbe place. I bit a wasp's nest with a stone once and tbe boss wasp chased me clean across the lot so fast that when I got over tbe fence I tore my pants; then ma spanked me till I wished I bad let tbe old wasp sting me. "Some say wasps make honey, but if tbeir honey is as hot as tbeir stingering, I don't want none. Fa says tbe stinger? ing ain't so bad at firs t as tbe rekolek* shuns of it for a few daya. He ought to know, co*: me and my brother Ike got on the roof and poked a big nest from tbe peak down in tbe barnyard while pa was milking." 3?r* There is more Catarrh in this section of tbe country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro? nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and there? fore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
