And another is, why can't we find an ear with an odd number of rows on if? Von can find a four-leaf clover, but you never saw an odd row on an ear of com yet.

Several days ago a strange dog was seen in the pasture where the hogs were. In a few day the hogs became sick and died in terrible agony.

Bright ou t C. i> Wilkie, a newspaper man, were found miilty of fraud in connection with tlie Amos Owen Cherry Tree company, which did an i k tensive business tlirouuhout tii?> (Jnroliuns several months auo. rI'11 ? maximum penalty tor the oiVeuse is four and a half years in the pen. itentiary and a line of $1 ,nlK). Commenting upon the ease, Indue lioyd said: "It is a p infill ease. Ilere is a minister of the gospel, a representul i ve of the highest eallinu on eaith, who deseemls fioni his hi11 plane and violates the law of his country. His laid influence will permeate the place in which he lived, and his example will do harm where it shouid have been exei t ?I for uood." It will he remembered that this company adveitised for wenien to dowriiiuu at home, aur? einu to pay $20 p*T month therefor. A condition pr cedent to entering the company's employ, however, was the payment of $11!. for which the company agreed to furnish cherry tree sprouts, to he sold by the employee lit l!t) rents each. I n most cases, it is said, the cherry sprouts could not he disposed i f at any price. It is claimed that few of the women who paid their $12, with the undei'standinu that they were to h- paid $20 per mouth, ever received one cent from tlie company. ? ??

Startling proof of a wonderful advance in nioiiicine is given by druggist. G. W. Huberts, of Blizabetli, \\ Va. An old man there had long suffered with what good doctors pronounced incurable canecr.
