Land of tha. Automat
Germany might almost be called "tna
lAiid of tbe automat" Automatic de
vice of all kinds are popular and are
used for a thousand purposes. At all
postoffice stamps and post cards are
old by automatic machines; at the
rallwuy atatlona plutforiu tickets and
suburban tickets are sold by automats;
automat restaurants, where one ean se
cure a glusa of beer, wine or liquor, a
sandwich, square meal, cup of coffee,
cbocolute, etc., by dropping- a coin In
the alot, abound everywhere. Every
city of 15,000 or 20,000 population and
over has from one to several hundred
tuch restaurants. At railway stations
automats sell chocolate, candy, picture
post cards and even a little kit of "first
aid to the injured" containing a few
drops of pain killer, bandages, needle,
thread, etc. Ten pfennigs In a alot
pens the door of toilet compartments,
delivering a towel or piece of soap. A
coin In a slot obtains a cigar, a tune
from a mechanical music box, a pair
of shoe strings, a collar button, a visit
ing card, name plate for suit case, tells
one's fortune or weight etc. United
States Consular Report
A PRACTICAL OBSERVATION.
A group of town lads with whom tbe
writer is acquuluted who are taking
the agricultural course which was this
fall added to their high school course
have been busy at intervals during tbe
past three weeks selecting and study
ing seed corn. In selecting It in tbe
field they have fouud as a result of
their own observation that the ears
which are suiOclently advanced to pick
are borne at from six to ten Inches
lower on the stalk than the average
height of all tbe ears of tbe field.
South of latitude 41.30 this matter of
early maturity Is not so vital, for tbe
growing season is usually from 125 to
130 days long, and large ears have time
to mature, but in territory where the
season is 115 days or less the selection
of early maturing corn Is of great im
portance. If tbe agricultural coarse
referred to does nothing - more than
bring this fact plainly to these boys
and some of the farmers In the locality
In which tbey live it will have been
worth all It cost
Flowara and Facts.
There Is an Indianapolis attorney
who Is known for his dignity and who
rarely indulges in "flowery" oratory in
arguing a case. Some years ago, bow-
ever, be was engaged In a murder case
In which tbe guilt of the prisoner was
apparent and the lawyer's friends ad
vised him to be "flowery" In an effort
to appeal to tbe sentiment of tbe Ju
rors. So the attorney took his friends'
advice.
"Down In tbe bills of old Kentucky
stands a little cottage," be began.
Around tbe cottage vines are clinging,
and In tbe doorway stands a gray hair
ed mother waiting
"As I was saying, down In tbe hills
of old Kentucky stand a little cottage.
Around the cottage vines are clinging,
and In tbe doorway stands a gray hair
ed mother waiting"
The lawyer paused, and his face
turned red.
'Ami while she Is standing there
waiting." ho continued. "I guess we
might as well discuss the facts In this
rase." Indianapolis News.
SMOKED THEIR CORN.
A friend who takes note of interest
ing things reported to the writer the
other day a practice followed by corn
growers In a locality in Illinois where
his wife' people used to live. This
consisted In storing their supply of
seed corn Just overhead In the village
blacksmith shop, where tbe smoke from
tbe forge gave it a sooty coating dur
ing tbe winter months. The space was
divided off, each man's corn being by
itself. It was found that eorn cured
in this place not only got dried out
thoroughly and grew well, but that
the smoke and soot with which It was
coated kept the gophers and ground
squirrels from molesting It in tbe
spring after It was planted. So far as
protection from tbe rodents Is concern
ed, practically the same protection is
afforded in the quite general practice
of treating tbe seed with tar Just be
fore putting It into the planter boxes.

Street Crowds In Caracas.
One of the features of the city of
Carucas. Venezuela, that most strongly
Impresses a foreigner Is the rapidity
with which a crowd gathers In the
streets. This Is best exemplified when
some of the many wandering musi
cians. In whom Coracas abounds, pre
pare to give an Impromptu open air
concert. Their first notes no sooner
echo through the neighborhood than
there gathers to listen a vast throng
that almost blocks np the thorough
fare. Tbe cobblers and all the other
tenants of the entries, having no doors
to open or stairs to descend, are on
the spot almost lnstantcr. They eager
ly drink In the music, but at tbe same
time bear a wnry eye upon the hats of
the musicians and no sooner do they
observe the slightest Indication that
one Is about to l taken off for the
purpose of taking up a collection by
passing It around among the crowd
than they disappear even more quickly
than the? came.

WIGCIN.
YOUNG authors should
write from tho level of
their own mind and
hcurt without any airs,
frills or posrs. WRITE WHAT
YOU SEK, not what you merely
think would be delightful and
popular nor what somebody else
sees. Dig into your own little
past and sot down what you find
there. Almost everything of
value you will find HIDDEN
SAFELY AWAY IN THE
MEMORIES AND IMPRES
SIONS OF YOUR FIRST SIX
TEEN YEARS when tho earth
had tho glory and freshness of a
dream.
You lovo, and afterword you
marry. You have children. You
learn how to face life -and mask
death. Nevertheless the mysteries
of your own personality seem to
have been established, graven, as
it were, on the brain tissues that
were growing when you were growing.
A book or play that WIELDS AN UNCONSCIOUS INFLU
ENCE ia the only ono that wields any influence nt nil. Unless moral
ity can succeed by being attractive it might ns well resign its commis
sion, for perfunctory, mechanical goodness is not half as interesting
as clever, brilliant naughtiness.

TWO HUNDRED PER CENT.
Tbe World's Work In a recent Issue
tells of the case of a New Jersey con
sumer who last February paia ou
cents for a dozen "strictly fresh" eggs.
One of these bore tbe name and ad
dress of tbe owner of tbe hens which
laid them, with tbe request that the
person who finally bought them write
and let blm know how much he paid
for them. The correspondence which
followed showed that the eggs were
laid in December, two months before,
and that tbe owner of the bens re
ceived 17 cents per dozen for them.
This meant that the transportation
company and the middleman through
whose hands the eggs passed before
they got to the man who ate them
added nearly 200 per cent to the price
which the producer received. In view
of such a bold up conspiracy as this it
Is no wonder that the cost of living is
high.
$11,000,000 WORTH OF BEANS.
California's yearly output of beans
brings tbe growers of the state In f 11
600,000 yearly. The total output
2,808,000 eighty pound sacks, the va
rlety and output of the several kinds
of beans being as follows: Lima beans,
1,430,000 sacks; pink beans, 770,000
sacks; small white beans, 137,500
sacks: all other varieties, 601,000
sacks. Tbe state's production of lima
beans comprises 87 per cent of tbe
world's, the island of Madagascar pro
ducing practically all the rest Tbe
lima bean Industry of California start
ed In 1HS0 in Santa Barbara county
and today practically all of tbe huge
output Is raised In five southern coun
ties of tbe state and within sixteen
miles of the sea.
POTATO SCAB QUARANTINE.
Acting under the authority of the
law recently passed by congress giving
the department of agriculture power to
establish quarantine against foreign
countries or Individual states of tbe
Union for tbe purpose of preventing the
introduction of plant and Insect pests.
Secretary Wilson has Issued orders
prohibiting tbe Importation of fruit
from the Hawaiian Islands to bead off
the Mediterranean fruit fly, against
several European countries to check
the further Introduction of the white
pine blister and against New Fonnd
land, England, Germany and Austro-
Hungary to prevent the Introduction of
the potato wart disease or black scab.
A GOOD RATION.
Probably no experiment station in
the country has made more careful
Investigation along the Hue of sclen
tide poultry raising than that of the
state of Maine; hence the ration for
laying hens recommeudod by the sta
tion experts is of esieclal Interest
Dry mash Is kept before tbe Lens all
the time, and this consists of a mix
ture of 200 pounds of bran and 100
pounds each of com meal, shorts. Un
seed meal, beef scraps aud gluten
meal. Besides this mash, there is fed
to tho hons twice a day In the litter a
cant amount of whole corn, wheat
and oats, while clover, mangels, oyster
bells and grit are also provided.
AN ORCHARD HINT.
Tbe difficulty encountered In harvest
ing apples In orchards where clean cul
tivation Is given tbe trees as a result
