A full-sized grain of corn bearing on it a sprout half an inch long was a few days ago removed from the ear of 12. year-old Kenneth Stuhhins, of C'hrics- ville, O., after having remained in the lad's ear seven years. On the day men- tioned the hoy was seized with a vio- lent earache, and it became so painful that a physician was called. L'pon et- amination, the doctor discovered some foreign substance in the ear, which when removed, proved to be a sprout- ing grain of corn. On Halloween seven years ago, when young Stubbins was a mere baby, it is said, he was standing In the door of his home, and some merrymakers, in passing, threw at tim a handful of corn. One of the grains was thought to have gone loto bis ear at the time, but after an inef- fectual effort to remove It. it was be- lieved it had come out of Its own ac- cord.

The war department has lately pub- lished a list of the officers and men of the United States army who have re- ceived medals or been especially com- mended for gallantly during the last two and a half years. Two of the 3. officers whose names are mentioned. and 33 of the endsted men, are colored. In view of the relatively small number of negro troops in the army, this is a record of which onr dark-skinned brother may we'l be proud. Evidently the color-line is not drawn at the fir- ing-line.

Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, explains some very ioterest- ine facts about Major's cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per cent. betler than other cements for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know why. The simple reason is that Mr. Major uses the best malerials ever discovered sud other man- ufacturers do not use them, because they are to expensive aud du not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound, and anniher cost $2 65 a gallou while a large share of the so called ce ments and liquid glue, upon the market are polling more than 16 cent glue, di sulved in water or citric acid, and in some cases, altered slightly in color and chlor by the additinu of cheap aod useless materials, Major's cement retails at fif- teen ant twenty-five ceuts a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substi- Inte yon can depend upon it that his only object is to make a larger profit.
