Corn-Holder.—Corn is never so sweet as when it is eaten off the cob, and in spite of burned and greasy fingers too, most people prefer to enjoy it in that way. This corn-holder will enable one to so enjoy it without any such drawbacks. It consists of a pair of lever-arms which work like scissors or shears. One end of each curves inwardly and has a pointed end which will enter the corn. There is a chain below which will keep them fixed in the necessary position for firmly holding it.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Mr. William B. Harison.
Dear Sir: Pardon me for calling your attention to an error in your valuable paper, The Great Round World, which has many friends here. On page 1,036 you speak of the steamer Pewabic on Lake Michigan. This should read Lake Huron. The wreck lays about twenty miles from Alpena. Some of the readers thought this should be corrected. Hence I take the liberty of this letter.
Wishing you best success for the paper, I remain
Yours truly,
H.H. Wittelshofer.
Alpena, Mich., July 19th, 1897.
Dear Sir:
We acknowledge the receipt of your letter, with many thanks, and are much obliged to you for calling our attention to the matter. Editor.
