The original “shinplaster” (fol ins), as defined in ew Standard die- tionary, is a colloguial name for “a curative plaster made of brown paper smeared with tar, vinegar, or the like, for appHcation to a sore shin.” The dictionary says that “shinplaster” meant. “1—Originally: any paper money, said to have been applied first to the depreciated- Continental curren- after the War of the Revolution. A small note for. a fractional part of -a dollar, issued by private bankers and companies for ixculation as oney, especially during the financial stress beginning with -3837. 3—The fractional or-postal cuarrency issued hy the United Statés government dur- ing the Civil war to sgrve as small change during snspenflo‘l of specie paymeiits.” ~ The expression was ap- plied to the money because of its re- semblance to the curative plaster. By some it is snpposed that this slang term arose “from an old soldier of the Revolutionaty period having used a quantity of worthless paper money as plasters for a wounded leg* BEGAN WITH TEOSINTE PLANT Botanists’ Theory of the Origin of Maize—Enormously Developed by Cultivation. The Indians found teosinte cover- Ing our plains. It bore grains or small kernels something like small wheat grains, not connected together, but loose in a tiny husk. The ears were from two to four inches . long, tf | thinner than a lead pencil, with ench grain incased in a separate shell-like covering or sheath. Discovering that the kernels were good to eat, the Indians began to cul- tivate the plant. Since they always saved the best kernels for seed, teo- sinte ears gradually became longer and bigger round, so as to take care of oxtrn rows of kernels. In time the chitinous sheaths disappeared. Such, the botanists believe, was the history of our maize. Mr. Burbank made bis experiment in order to test the theory. Starting in 1903, he gradu- ally developed the teosinte plant with its miniature kernels into a much lar- ger plant with'a round cob and several kernel that had “emerged from ffs | sheath. He bred only those kernels and In a few years more the sheaths had en- tirely disappeared. At the end of the eighteenth year he had produced cars of Indian corn. Though the ears do not equal the superior varieties now grown in Amerlca, they compare favor- ably in every way with those that the first white settlers found the Indians cultivating. % FLAPPER GOT IN A WORD Not Much to Say, but There Was a World of Meaning in Mer Simple Question. For once the very modern girl's flap- per sister faded into the background. She sat and munched English muffing and sipped tea while the very modern girl gossiped ecstatically with the old school friend from out of town, who 1 wore a shiny new ring on the fourth finger of her left hand. | The out-of-town girl did most of the | talking—her lingerie, the color of her :new gowns, the darling showers | the girls had given her, Jacks won- | derful devotion. | out stopping to catch her breath, while "the very modern girl leaned forward i with sparkling eyes, anticipating the ' good time she would have spreading the news, and the flapper slouched fn her chair and dug her teeth Into the inglish muffins. “And pow, tell me, what is Jack like?” demanded the very modern girl. ,“Who 1s he like? Any of the boys we ! used: to know?" The engaged girl reflected. “No,” ; she hesitated, “I don't know anyone Just like Jack. Except—well, mother snys he's a lot like me. He's full of fun and very generous, and such a gen- ! tleman? = And he's awfully clever, ton. ,and talks so intelligently.” .

Neat's-foot or castor oil or a mix- ture of these with wool grease is good for driving barness. For heavy har- ness use a mixture of any or all of these with wool grease to make a paste, having about the consistency of butter. Apply the grease lightly to driving harness and liberally to work harness. Rub the oil or grease, warm to the hand, thoroughly into the leath- er while it is still damp from washing. After the harness has hung in a warm room overnight, remove with a clean dry cloth the excess of ofl which the leather s unable to take up.
