BROOM CORN SEED. Tradition Snya Franklin PlulH tkt First One In Thla Country. Every housewife is supposed to know low to handle a broom, but It Is safe to say that not one in ten has any clear idea of what her sweeping utensil Is made of or how it Is made or where sent to the front, where, owing to his "the material came from. Brooms are bravery and soldiery qualities, he was rapidly promoted uutil he attained the rank of brigadier-general. He was a, cousin of Hon. W. R. Day, late a mem ber of President McKinley's cabinet and whole now one of the judges of the United States Circuit court. made from the heads or brushes of the broom corn, a first cousin to our common field corn. And In this con nection is told a very pleasant little fairy story concerning Benjamin Franklin. "Poor Itlchard," by the way, seems to have been about the biggest Jack of all trades that ever helped the United States to become the richest and most powerful nation of the world.'* If this story Is true, he is the patron saint of the housewife and the broomm&ker, fes well as a kite filer, lightning' catcher, printer, pub lisher, editor, .author, philosopher, statesman nnd other things "too nu merous to mention." Broom.corn first grew in India. From there It was carried to Europe. The story goes that Dr. Franklin was ex apilning a whisk ty-oom that had been brought over from' England in the da^s before w^jbad any broom corn of our own. tTe' foOTKl a. slngle seed on the broom, picked-It off, planted It and raised ia stalW. Of corn from which is descended, so to speak, alt of the broomJcorn of .'the United States. at However this may be, broom corn grows much like Its first cousin, our maize, which- originated here. The hend Is larger, however, and the seedB grow on tlx Jijad Instead. of In ears. The heads are..cut.off. leaving about HIX Inches of stalk, and the seeds are scraped off by a machine, which doeB a clean job and does not Injure the pan icles. The seeds are valuable in a way. They are fed to horses and poul try and ground Into meal for cattle. In the making of the brooms, the corn Is put around a handle of basswood or soft maple turned In a lathe. Each layer Is wound tight with twine or wire until the desired size Is attained. The broom Is than pressed out flat and sewed to keep It In that shape. Whisk brooms are made In the same way.— Buffalo Express. AN EFFECT OF LIGHTNING. Damscti a Pair of Eru That Wsrs Larvt m*d Bright.

"It was because I was struck ijj lightning," he said. "It was when I'was In my teens. I sat between an open window and an open door and there was a flash. The last I can remember is a sense of having an envelope of light around me. I was picked np Insensible. and those who first saw me say that smoke issued from my mouth and nose. All thought I was dead, but I slowly recovered and soon seemed to be as well as before the heavenly visitation. "The serloiiB effects of the shock, however, developed In my eyes. Their largeness and.brilliancy had been often commanded ,-ph by my friends, but these more or less desirable features liad been destroyed by the electric fluid. The pupils and the irises con tracted and I found a great difficulty in my vision. An expert oculist exam ined the eyes and gave some scientific name to the difficulty. That's another story. I only know that I can see and am glad to be alive. "One effect remalnB, however, that is rather curious. Most people who have been struck by lightning are fearful of being struck again.
