LIMITS OF SEED VITALITY.
No Truth In stories of Germination
After Thousand* of Yonrs.
“The statement is frequently made
In the popular press,” said I'rofessor
Ij. H. Pummel, government botanist,
“that seeds have retained their vitality
for a long time. Thus it Is stated that
wheat under some conditions has pre¬
served its vitality for 50 or 100 years.
It has frequently been stated that
wheat taken from Egyptian monu¬
ments germinated, but In not a single
case is this germination authenticated.
Not a single grain taken from an an¬
cient Egyptian sarcophagus and sown
by various persons has ever been
known to germinate, and the condi¬
tions for preserving the seed in these
Egyptian monuments are better than
in the soli. They are protected from the
air and variations of temperature. The
experiment which lias "been most talk*
ed of is that of the Count of Sternberg
at Prague. He had received the grains
from a trustworthy traveler, who told
him that they were taken from a
sarcophagus. It is said that two of
these seeds germinated, but it is a well
known fact that Impostures are per¬
petrated by the people who dispose of
these seeds. In some cases they have
even stripped corn or maize into these
sarcophagi.
“Many experiments have been made,
not ouly in this country, but in Europe,
to determine the vitality of various
grain seeds. Thus, barley retains its
vitality better than any other cereal,
and this is said to retain its vitality
from eight to ten years. In the ease
of wheat 90 to 100 per cent germinates
in from one to four years; in five to
seven years, 85 to 87 per cent. In the
ease of rye the percentage of germina¬
tion in five years dropped to 55 per
cent; in sc -en years, 30 per cent; nine
years, 13 per cent. In the case of corn,
1 made some experiments a few years
to determine the vitality and found
corn which was kept In tightly
vessels at the age of 20 years
lost all its power of germination.
Experiments also indicate that corn
kept even a few years became largely
and lost much of Its pow¬
of germination. Even grass seeds
have been buried at some depth
in the soil and in vessels tigbtiy sealed
failed to germinate after a dozeu or
15 years.”—Chicago Chronicle.
“The Woriteit Crime Ever.”
A young uegress iu mourning asked
the magistrate for a warrant in the
Jefferson Market court.
“There is a negro who has committed
the worstest crime ever,” she said. “It’s
so awful I can't hardly tell about it.
My mother died a week ago, and he
done took a pawn ticket from the
corpse. Now lie’s done took out a dia¬
mond ring ou that ticket that, was my
mother’s, and now the ring should be
mine, but he won’t give it to me.”
“Well, that’s rather bad,” admitted
the magistrate, signing a warrant for
the offender.
The young woman returned in the
afternoon iu company with a well
dressed negro with whom she seemed
to be on very friendly terms. He was
the defendant.
“What have you got to say to the
charge?” the magistrate demanded of
him.
“Why,” the man replied smilingly,
"the dead woman was my wife.”
“Is he your stepfather?” asked the
magistrate, turning to the girl.
“Course he is,” she answered.
“And why didn’t you tell me that be¬
fore?”
“ ’Cause l wanted that ring, your
honor,"
“Step out,” said the magistrate.
“Step out,” echoed a half dozen po¬
licemen, while the man and the girl
walked out together Yvitbout a sign of
animosity.—New York Exchange.
The Road to Snccenx,
There is a mistaken notion '.hat suc¬
cess in life Is achieved only by hard ef¬
fort. An “education” Is not necessary
to become successful in life, beyond
thorough familiarity with the rudi¬
ments. An education comes to an in¬
dustrious man as naturally as age.
Ability to deliver orations is not neces¬
sary. Industry and honesty, which are
easier than idleness and dishonesty, will
achieve success for any man of ordi¬
nary ability. Success is easier than
failure. Success seldom comes at once;
It is a matter of years of good conduct
add intelligent work.—Atchison Globe.
Shooting Stars,
Sir Robert Ball, the eminent astron¬
omer, once told an audience that any
one who took the trouble to ilo on his
back on the ground nnd gaze at a clear
night sky would, as his eyes became
accustomed to the heavens, soon per¬
ceive numbers of shooting stars.
Bottles of perfume, still fresh, and
Jars of pomade that had not lost its

Wonder* of New Hampshire.
The average reader will be amazed
to learu that little New Hampshire,
with less than 10,000 square miles, lias
no less than 400 lakes and ponds, 154
brooks, 58 rivers and 204 mountains.
This makes Iowa look small. Colorado,
a big state, lias 550 creeks. Texas has
comparatively few rivers, lakes and
creeks. Alabama has 003 creeks and
87 rivers. Iowa cannot approach that
record. Minnesota lias 222 lakes and
140 rivers.—New York I’ress.

The Hnrem a Prlann.
The western boast that every man’s
bouse Is ills castle Is as nothing to the
sanctity of the eastern hnrem. No of¬
ficer of the law may enter a harem, and
therefore there is no safeguard for the
life and liberty of its inhabitants. One
day they may be slaves, the next prin¬
cesses and the next strangled or poison¬
ed. An ill disposed man could carry
off an enemy to bis harem and kill him,
«nd rone would be the wiser.
BOOKS’ NARROW ESCAPES.
Virgil** “.Flnelil.” WorliH of Aristotle
nutl Talmud Saved b>* Good Luck.
Three of the greatest books in the
world have narrowly eseaped destruc¬
tion, the “.Eneid” of Virgil, the works
of Aristotle and the great body of Jew¬
ish tradition represented by the Tal¬
mud.
It is recorded that Virgil on his
deathbed sought to burn the only copy
of the “Eneid,” as lie had not revised
It, and when he vrns foiled in this he
ordered Ills executors, Varro and Tuc
ca, uot to give it to the world, a direc¬
tion which was disregarded by order
of the Emperor Augustus.
The works of Aristotle suffered from
neglect. They lay many years buried
in a cellar, and when, by mere acci¬
dent, they wore at last unearthed, they
were so damaged by damp and dirt
that in many passages they are hope¬
lessly corrupt. How great would have
been the loss of this work to the hu¬
man race may be judged from the fact
that everything that was known In the
middle ages of the arts and sciences
was derived directly from these writ¬
ings.
The Talmud nearly became extinct
through persecution, The posses
sion of the Talmud, by a long series
of edicts extending over many cen¬
turies, was made penal, and the book
itself was burned. No fewer than 24
wagon loads of Talmud manuscript
were burned In France in 1244.—Stray
Stories.
The Model’* Hard Trial.
Miss Siddnl had a trying experience.
In order that the artist might get the
proper set of the garments in
and the right atmosphere and aqueous
effects, she had to lie In a large bath
filled with water, which was kept
an even temperature by lamps placed
beneath. One day, ju3t as the picture
was nearly finished, the lamps
out unnoticed by the artist, who
so intensely absorbed in his work
he thought of nothing else, nnd
poor lady was kept floating in the cold
water till she was nearly benumbed.
She herself never complnined of this,
but the result was that she
a severe cold, and her father, an
tioneer at Oxford, wrote to
threatening him with an action of
damages for his carelessness.

Tommy’* Speech.

Tommy—But, I say, Sue, why

A gentleman from a neighboring
town in Mississippi told the following
last night:
“I walked into a small store the oth¬

quoted the familiar line:
“ ‘A horse! A horse! My kingdom
for a horse!’
