Chicago. -A doublliiR of the pres ent production of "farm staples Is In sight, nccordlng to Prof. H. C. Durium of Worland, Wis., who Is a pioneer In the sclenci- of seeding breeding. "We already hare practically doub led the yield of corn by selection and plant-breeding." said Prof. Uuffum yesterday, "but wo need not stop with corn, as wo can deal with all other crops In a similar way. The reason that this has not been done earlier la that plant-breeding has been utilized heretofore mainly for the production of curiosities. Men who brought out anything new were 'wizards.' Few saw any pramlcal value In what was being done. Much waf accomplished , In an aesthetic way with reference to Improvements of flowers, but tho great farm crops were neglected. "4s Mark Twain said in "Pudd-n-hcad AVilson': 'Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond, nnd cauliflower Is nothing but cabbage with a college education.' Plant breeding supplies this 'college educa tion' to the plebeians of the vegetable world, and therefore by increasing crop yields, promises mors than any thing else with referer.re to tho growth of tho world's permanent wealth."

Go ing up to tho head of the de partment she greeted him with "Good morning, Mr. Salvation Army. Here is something to help along your work." handing him an envelope. The officer thanked her and asked for her name, so that a receipt for the money might be ent. "Oh. no receipt Is necessary," she replied and passed out. After she had left, the officer opejied the envelope and almost fainted. It contained two bills frnpsts. Silhouette cutting being such a popular pastime at present, an appro priate number called Washington Sil houettes might be arranged to load off the fun. This requires ns mnny small 8quare3 of black cardboard or court plaster (flat not rolled) as there will be play ers. Each participant must be fur nished with a pair of shnrp scissors; and a time limit (say of 10 minutes), m- t be set. In this time the contest- ) ants are asked to see who can cut out 1 thf cleverest silhouette or wasning ton.

When Benjamin Franklin wns ambassador at the French court, speaking to a young man. he said: "The last time I saw poor father he received me in his study. As I was leaving he showed me a short way out of the nouso through a narrow passage crossed by a beam overhead. Suddenly he cried: 'Stoop! Stoop!' I did not understand what ho meant until I felt my head bump ngninst the beam. He was a man who never failed to give good ad vice. 'You are goln,' he said, 'and have got to go through the world. Stoop as you go through It, and you will miss many hard thumps.'" I have never failed to be Impressed by this lesson of humility. Jl3B DOO-STAH'S COMPANION. MKshig Satellite Once More Seen hj Itumun Hycs. Slrlus, the dog star, which is tho brightest to our eyes of all tho fixed Htars, has a very remarkable com panion, never vlsiblo except with powerful telescopes. It wns first seen In 1S62, and In 1890 11 disappeared, the reason of tU disappearance be ing that It had moved so close to Slrlus as to bo lost to vlow In tho overpowering light of that grent star. During tho time of Its visibility tho fact had been ascertained that It was rovolvlng about Slrlus at a rate which would carry it completely around In noruo fifty years. Tho shapo of its orbit, which Is an ellipse with Sirlus situated In one of tho foci, being calculated, nstronomors felt certain that In a few years the vanished star would reappear as It moved Into a part of Its orbit more distant from Slrlus. This expecta tion has now been fulfilled, for re cently tho missing star waB seen again at Flagstaff Observatory in Arizona. Although probably half as largo as Slrlus, It Is but one ten-thousandth part as luminous as that star. ItEI'OUT OP THK CONDITION or TIIK HONESDALE NATIONAL BANK AT HONKHllAI.K. WAYNH COUNTY. PA.

First Love. It Is a popular fallacy that the first love is the true one, unique in Its ex cellencc, says an exchange. As well say that the first picture of a painter Ir the best of all he will paint in the course of his life: that the first speech, the first book, the first statue, the first composition, will be the best of the statesman, novelist, sculptor or musi cian, as the case mny be. First works have all the imperfections of uncer tainty, of Inexperience and Ignorance. And it Is rather by chance than by nnything Inherent In the nature of Cupid's ways that tho first love turns out to be tho great one. Spiritual Fellowship. At one time tho apostle Paul seems to make much of his having actually seen Jesus, but again ho declares that even though he did know Christ In that way he knows him no longer, and he is constrained thereafter to know no man "after the flesh." However precious, for tho moment, the physical re.lntionshins. they cannot last. Tho spiritual fellowship Is Incomparably mr.ro a-nrth while: which is what Christ died to teach mankind. Obeying Orders. Seamen are strict disciplinarians, and a ship's crew seldom even droams of interpreting a commander's orders otherwise than literally. Of the re og nired rigid type was a certain English captain. The way the strict letter of hir law was observed aboard his saip is described by a writer In the Lon Telegraph. Ono day, whllo the ship was in a "'"oin port, tho captain gave a din er o some town acquaintances, and 'hi. resourcos of tho ship were not eit. some of tho sailors were deput - ' to wait on the table to re-enforce :hi imufflclent number of stewards. A these men were not used to such a" '', each one was told exactly what servifo would fall to his share. " e ''our camo, and the dinner went nieiiily on. Presently, however, one of tho ladles wanted a piece of bread. There was none near her, and the finely disciplined stewards seemed to be quite blind to her need. She turn ed her head and spoke softly to the maiuat her elbow. "Bread, please," she said. He looked regretfully at the bread and then ot her. It was evident thnt ho would fain have helped her If It had boon In his power. He saluted In fine naval stylo. Can't do It, ma'am," said he.

The PASSION OF WASHINGTON'S LIFE. His Intense Love for Pretty Sally Cary, and HIb Marrl?se. Writing of Washington's great pas sion, Sally Cnry, in March Lndles' Home Journal, Mrs. Durton Harrlron says: " Apparently so rid dled by the shafts of the little god of love had been the heart of WnBhln&mn, tho boy, that It Is hard to know how. after his sighs for the 'Lowland Depu ty' (Sally Cary), and his repeated re dresses to Miss Betsey Fauntlcroy. and his later sensibility to the charms of "the very agreeable young lady." afUM-ward Mrs. Ambler, the passion for a woman who never might be his could have dominated him as II did for ro many years.
