A more plensztiit, happy and enjoyable gathering we never attended. A good life1‘:1l‘_V’ progr:1m was well rendered by the “iinport:ints” of the day. \Vi1h plenty ot'ai1'u1scu1e11ts, the proverbial G1-:1iigei' feast, SflV0l'ed with lemonade and siveetineats. the hihirity ot the little ones seemed unbounded.

Lenawee 00., June 20. Tm: celcbrntioii of Cliildrcu‘.-' Day was generally observed on June 9 at Union Grunge hall 2923 together with the Battle Crccl; G1-aiige, who had been invited to join with us. At an czirly liour, the piircut:-1 with their chlldrcu began coming, the Battle Creek ,._frieuds bringing the children in loads. with sonic of the older ones with them, to show them the country and to talk and lnugli with them in their glee over their pleasant ride of ten and twelve miles, and arriving at the hall, some with thcir hands lillcd with the choicest boquets and well- fillcd baskets, for it was understood to be a picnic dinner. Progrzlni wns not acted upon until after dinner. The Tables were :1 beati- tifiil sight to any that was there with the beautiful cakes and bouquets which adorned the tables. W hen dii1- ucr was iiuuouuced, the cliildrcii were all seated at the tables first and they all did :1n1plc justice to tlicir diniicrs. after the tables were clc:1red and reset, the older ones were seated, filling the tables again. They too enjoyed them- selves with social catable chat, after which we were all invited to the up- per room. which was bc:iutit'ully dec- orated with floivers, evergreens and birds, where we listened to 3 most excellent prograiu, which consisted of speaking, singing, and recitzitions. The Battle Creek Grange came loaded with a good prograin, which showed the some parents had given this day tlieir attention, for the selections were very good. As the time came to go each face was bright with the day’splcas11i'os, bidding each other good-bye, saying, hope we w'ill meet another year and have an enjoyable time. Mus. NV. VV. VVICKHAM.

Cold- water Republican. SINCE the rains the first of the month wheat and grass have improved greatly. Corn is looking well, so are potatoes Where bugs have been kept off them. We have never seen the old bugs so plenty as this spring. \Ve find it takes a stronger dose to kill the old bugs than the larvae. \Ve use Paris green and ashes, 3 tablespooufuls to ten quarts ot ashes. Fruit of all kinds promise Well now. Our‘ Chil- dren’s Day, the 9th, was a success in every respect except one, and l‘.l1lLtW8.8 some of the boys didn’t have quite chicken enough. It would be about right to allow four chickens to a boy, no, I mean one chicken to four boys. How is that? After all, I guess the girls are about a match for the boys in eating chicken as Well as in other things. Last year there were 110 and ‘this year 120 children to provide for and make happy on Children’s Day, and they in return gave many beauti- ful exercises, long to be remembered by us. AUNT KATE.

F. llowe, l’residc1it of the As- sociation, delivered the welcoming ad- dress, which was very iiitemstiiig and appropriztte. Mrs. Mayo elitertzuued the vast multitude with one of the most spirited addresses ever listened to by any audience in Bcrrien County. Many were anxious to licar Mrs. Mayo, and some were impressed with the idea that 21 farn1ei’s wife could talk nothing but Gmiigc, but that idea. was soon l)£l.lllSll(3(l from their minds when Sister M:i_v0 began her discourse, and held her audience almost spellbound froui the beginning to the close of her ad- dress. llou.

Levi Sparks, read a very interesting paper, subject, The Early History ot Berricn County. This paper, like all others prep:ircd by friend Sp£u‘ks, was full of interest and highly iippreciiited by his fellow pioneers. There were es- timated to be about 10,000 people in attendance, some of whom were nearly 100 years of age——at least were well along in the nineties. This is said to be the most interesting meeting ever held by the society. W M. J. Jones, Sec’y. I AM not 21 dyed-in-the-wool critic like Bro. Sanford, but my sluggish iii- cliuation to criticise received a lively impulse on reading Sist/er Mayo’s as- persion of poets and poetry. She says the leading journals of the State are doing her injustice in calling her 8. poet. That implies a. slur on every poet from Homer down to Julia Moore. She says she may be guilty of much erroneous action; part of that errone- ous action is the condemning of poor, harmless poets. She says she never wrote po1~i‘i'y.

Now let me say in all se- riousiicss that, although Sister Mayo nniy not write poetry, she is, neverthe- lcs.<,a poet in {I certain sense of the word. I have heard her rcpcut poetry with all the iii:-‘pimtioii of :1 poet. I have sceu her hold an audience cu- ti':1uced with the poetry of her clo- qucuce and the beauty and sense of her idczts.

"you can poke boys away anywlierof I can't atford to finish oil a nice room tor two great roinping‘. tearing fellows! Why. mother. when l was a boy l slept in a great unfin- ished garret. and I've often, trot up in the night and liainmered a shingl-.2 ovei' a hole to keep the rain oil‘ my bed." --Yes David: but we were very poor then. and your boys would sleep in a garret and nail shingles over holes. too. if it was necessary: but God prospered your fatlier after that, and lie pros- pered you. and the boys ought to sliarc the blessing. \Vhere do you mean to put them. .l).-ivid'.”’ persisted the old lady. “Well. in the ehaniber oi the short L.

They played ball. rowed boats. prac- ticed gyiiiiiaisties, scraped on violins. blew horns. wliistled.sang and shouted. and thus relieved. as by s:it'et.y valves. iln-ir surplus animal spirit. This did \'or_v well by day: but when night caiiio or storins raged. they were like cagred eagles. If they \veiit ilito the .-zitting-room they were forced to sit still lest they should disturb their liitlier. who was always closing up his d:iy‘s accounts there. If they went into the kitchen they were sure to give otlcnse to old lletty by leaving foot-prints on her ivell-scoured floor. If they drutniiied on the piano in the parlor they disturbed their sister‘:s study or niadc soinebody's head ache. So they. too. often took their hats after tea. and went oil’ to sit on the fence with other boys. or to rove about town, whistling and singing and shout- ing. The boys were in a fair way to be ruined for want of a cheerful home- shelter, and they would have been but tor one blessing—tliey had a grand- mother who thought their comfort and enjoyiiient of more importance than that of an occasioiial visitor of their ~iister’s, or a bevy of country cousins who cauie there twice a year to do shopping. and thus saved a hotel bill. This good grandnia had a little money, and half-a-do’/.eii liomes; so she was not afraid to express her opinion on this subject, now that she had come to them for a long visit. The new house was being discussed again one evening and her opinion was asked upon some matter. "David.” she said to her son, -wvliat is that large chamber for. with the bay-wiiidows and two iiiaiitel-pieces?" "For company.” mother. was the reply. '~'\Vliat conipaiiy'.‘ I didn’t know you expected ziiiy.” said the slircwd old lady. "Uh. for any one who happens along. By-and-by Emilia will leave school, and have company, _voii know. James’ wife and Cousin Hcpsy come down twice a year to shop, and always stay here a night or two." “But your own boys come here to sleep three hundred and sixty-tive nights in the year, and liavea thousand times the claim on you that any ‘($0111- pany’ have. “Yes?” “Wliat arangements have you made for them?” And the father repeatedtlie remark he had made to his easy wife so often, that “boys don’t care, and that they could cuddle down and sleep any- where.” “But these boys must not sleep any- where after the new house is done. Unless you divide that long spare chamber into two moderate sized ones, and give one to tliem,I shall settle them in the room you have planned for me and make my home with Cath- erine. She has plenty of room. and is always urging me to come to her. I will not crowd your boys out of a. room." ‘ ' David Lane loved his mother, so the result Was that the long “sp:1l‘0 cliariibci"’was finished so as to meet the wants of the boys.

Corn is remarkably forward, stands well, the cultivation has been remark- ably good and the outlook at this dis- tance for a good crop is unusually p1‘0lIll.'-illlg. The ten-days’ rain early in the month guaranteed an out crop of a. fair aver- age whicli would be carried beyond that point by an abiiiidaiit shower be- fore the lst of July. On the whole, the outlook for the farnier’s crops at this writing is very fair. VVE have all along insisted that law- yers took care of lawyers and here is an item from The Detroit Journal that we offer in evidence: Mrs. Diana Ricliardsoma rich widow of Alpena, created something of a stir last winter by coming to this city with a large sum of money in her pos- session to escape, as she claimed, the persecutions of’ lawyers she had en- gaged to settle the estate left by her husband, and Who, she declared, wanted to collect exorbitant fees for services. The attorneys, R. J. Kelley, James D. Turnbull and George H. Sleaton, presented bills amounting to $50,000, Kclley’s being $30,000 and the others$lt),UUO each. They brought suit against. Mrs. Ricliardson, and coii- siderablc expert testimony has been taken in tlitl'crcnt cities on the ques- tion of tlicjustiicss of the fees claimed. Several weeks ago Mrs. lticliardson’s attorney, employed to oppose the tri- uinvirate, came to Detroit aiitl secured the evidence of several lawyers who considerctl the charges unreasonable.

All did splendidly and every one Went away Well pleased with the entcrtainincnt and the day’s enjoyment. The Supe- rior Grange Cornet I3.-ind 0t’ 15 pieces, organized the latter part of April, made its first public appearance by playing opening and closing selections. Their etlorts were well received and many compliments were heard for the rapid progress made. All voted the day a splendid success but agreed that We must take t.o the grove next year. The hall is not. large enough and We want no one to stay away on that account. VVe were glad to notice many visitors from neiglibor- ing Graiiges. Come again. We hope and trust that the VISI'I‘()R will have many good reports to make of the success of Cliildren’s Day throughout the State. Respectfully, J. H. HAnroai>,Lect. As REPORTS for Children’s Day are in order, I want to tell you of our en- tertaiinnent. Windsor Gran e was awake early on the subject, an it was decided to have 8. gigantic picnic,hence ti. committee of four was appointed to make all necessary arrangements. They at once set to \vork and sent the W. M. to call upon his Excellency, Gov. Luce, and invite him to join with us in all the festivities of the day. This was done. and greatly to our pleasure he promised to come. Then formal in- vitations were extended to the neigh- boring Grauges and to the public schools of the township. The services of a tine local band were secured. The d:1_\"s threatening sconl on an already laden with all the dishes that modern science and ‘art in cookery could reveal: and after God’s choicest blessing had been invoked with ex pressioiis of grati- tude for all the good gifts from His bounteous hand, they "ate their fill.” Then we all asseinbled around a stand and listened to a splendid talk from Gov. Luce. Bro. Banks, the \\’ortIiy Master ot Capitol (traiige, also gave :1 pleasant and pi'actical talk to the chil- dren. The address of lion. A. I).(.3arl- ton, one of our own brothers, was full of ii sincere welcome and was responded to by iev. C. V-.i,iiAken in a happy ii1aiiiiei'. A line choir gave several songs appropriate to the occasion. Then the children came in with their exercises, some of which may justly receive our meed of praise without. detracting from the merit which all deserve. The first. a. recitation ot six little girls in- White di'esses welcomed the fatliers and niotliers in a pretty little poem and soiig,tiiiely rendered. This was tollowed by sev- eral others, all ot which were short. sharp and sweet. The acme was reaclied by eight little boys telling what they will be. All were finely applauded. The \Vort.l1_v .\'l:1ster ot \Viiidsor Grange closed the exercises by inviting all the t':'1riiicrs to join the Grange and avail themselves of its advantages. A thousand or more were on the grounds during the day, and all unite in saying it was the best celebintioii of the kind ever attended. \\'es:1_vtoi1ll (.li'aiiges, "G0 thou :iiid do likewise.” C.

Management of Children In the Home. It is not the :1i111 of this :ll‘tlt‘.IC to fasliioii one idc:1l i111lividu:1l. who is to serve as :1 inodel for the 1'1-st of l11i111:111i- ty, but simply to s11gg1-st :1 few of thc w:1_\'s in wliicli :1 child may be kept to :1. gre:1t extent under the p:1i'ci1t.:1l con- trol. This ztccoiiiplishctl,:1nd tlic vic- tory is ours. This control. howcvt.-1', should not be perceptible to the child to insure the best results. In order to (’Xt?I'ClSt) proper control ovcr :1 child, parciits well know that they iiiust rct:1i11 the love and respect of the child. There 1,-.2111 be, of cotirsc. :1. kind of control n1:1intai11(-d by ob- serving the Biblical injiiiiction. "Spare the rod and spoil tlict-.l1ild.” Control, however, when wholly of this n:1turc. fails to inspire respcct in the child for the p:1rc11t.s:1nd as he grows older he ‘lends aiiythiiig but :1 willing car to their adiiionitions. If we would keep the respect of our chihlroii. we must respect them. They should h:1ve their individual bclo11gi11gs.ovcr wl1i1-l1 they should exercise entire control 21nd which should be respected by :1ll. Ilow often do we see purciits :1pp1'1)pi'i:1ting for their own use things which have been given to the child and that with- out making any expl:1n:1t.io11s or oll'cr- ing anything as :1 substitute. 1’:11‘e11ts should never in any way dcccive their children and above all shoultl fulfill all promises made to them. If‘cir1:111n- stances at any time prevent such ful- fillment, explain fully to the children the i'e:1sons. As soon as :1 child begins to read he should be provided with proper litera- ture, books :111d papers. suited to his age and the child should be e11cour- aged to rcadthcm. Ifa taste f'or whole- some reading is thus carlyacquircd by the child he will probably pass over the period oftlime-novel reading with- out htiving had his mind poisoned by the coarse sentiments and ovcrdrawn pictures of the novelists. One need not be at :1 loss in our day t.o find proper literriturc suited to cliildren of all ages, as there :1re llllII)e1'01H p11bli- cations at prices within the rvar-.h of nearly all. Give your children the best e1luca- tion your means will permit and re- member this gift will be 11 more last- ing benefit and comfort to them than all the fine homes you can bestow upon them, and it will also make them ca- able ofsecuring homes for themselves. fieither must the seemingly small mat- ter of dress be overlooked. Everyone must concede the fact that one respects both himself and his neighbor more when neatly and cleanly,not expensive- ly, dressed than when dressed other- wise. The neatly dressed boy and girl will be better behaved than their com- panions that are shabbily dressed. No- ble thoughts and refined sentiments are seldom found clothed in dirt and mgarcnts generally wish their children to acquire industrious habits. How to overcome the dislike for work mani- fested by so many children and how to get them interested in work, are ques- tions that have puzzled many :1 father and mother. We would suggest as one of the means to the end that parents should plan as much as possible to Work with them. Always see that they begin their work ariglit. Leaving -:hil(il‘(’tl to tlieinsclves to learn im- proper methods of working and then having to perform their tasks over again is one of the chief c:1uses of their dislike for Work. Give them soincoftlic b -iictits oftheir labor.

There is nothing that so promptly cu ts short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheuma- tism as hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly.

Singing so su eetly from limb to limb, Very dear to the he rt of our Lord Is he who pitics the lost like him!" “Amen,” said I to the heaiitilul myth; “Sing, bird of God, in my heart as well: Each good thought is a drop wlierewitli To cool and lessen the tires of hell. Prayers of love like rain drops fall, Tepirs of pity are cooling dew. And dear to the heart of our Lord are all Who suffer like Him in the glory they do!" —— July's Greeting. .\i.\r;. With bugs and dies we greet you, All litimming :1 light, airy tune, And, oh, did youcxpect siicli a grtetiiig. Right after the bciutifiil juiic? How (liffererit is your welcome In the various stages of life; In sortie there are joy and liosaniias, In others naught but the bitterest strife. How the farmer dreads you when He thinks of the weary hours of toil He must endure in your burning sunlight To care for the products of the soil. But the butterfly of dame Fashion Greets you with wide opened arms; She will then fly away to the seaside, And air her most witching charms. The merchant stands on the streetcorner, Or on dry goods’ boxes rests his feet; With hands in pockets he'll greet you with, “Times are dull;can Iendure this heat?" Butconie on; you're welcome for all Their grumblingszyou are vvelcorue,dear. VVhat a poky old world this would be, With June and October the live long year! The Largest Sabbath School In the World.

They scatter their riiaiiure on the kiiolls and liillsidesinorccvciily than can be done by hand and will con- vcrt coarse feed into a fertilizer taster than can be done in any other way. I coiiterid we can raise more grain on a tiirrn by keeping sliccp than we ('iillI(I without tlrcrii, always bring t-arcful not to have the flock too l:ii'g(-. They doir’tjuinp. root. kick, hook. or bite, or very or ten hunt. and there is no arri- mal the tai'riicr kccps with so little risk.

Truc enough; I do want .~orn:- bye and bye and the very reasoii tlit-, feeders want them is a good and sutii- cierit rcasoii why you should have them. If nobody waritcd them, what‘ would be the use of raising tlicni? The time lias long since gone by when farin pi'odut-t.- have to go begging. What is the trading usage of to-day? Wagoiis call at our very doors for bitt- tcr, eggs and creain. Meir dog us for wool and soon will ti.-use NS for our sliccp until we divide in order to get rid of tlic lcllows. lVow,just how to coriditct the sheep and wool business is a matter of onc's choice, but requires good judgrncnt. Cirmimstarices and location must be takeii into consideratiorr. One might be situated so he tliouglit better to run wholly to woo], ignoring the nint- torr branch of the sheep industry on- tirely. Anotlrcr tliiuks lie is a good feed- er and makes rniittorr a specialty. One thing is certiriri, whichever extr'erric we follow it is to the (letriinerit of the other. We can’t do both to its fullest cxtent. and our study should be which will produce the best results. There are many notions about this sheep busiiiess. One fzrrrner wants noth- ing but pure bloods; anotlrer won’t have them because they cost too much; another will buy culls because they are cheap. Now, I wouldn’t discourage the raising of the very best breeds; they are essential in order to get good grades. If you have plenty of money and are keeping sheep for fun or want a few good ones to brag on and lie about, then get it new tlrorouglibrcd sheep ot some particular strain, breed with some special object, and stick to it and attain as near pcrfcctioii as pos- sible. You will get lots of satisfat-tiori and the stock in the country will be greatly improved by your ambitious etl'ort;s. These fancy breeders arc bene- factors ot‘ the human race and some of them who inherited lots of rrrorrey have done and will do an immense amount of good. On the other liarid, if we are to follow the business for what money there is in it, I would avoid fancy prices. 1 would rather have for profit 10 ewes worth $50.00 than to have that money all in one, and nine times out of ten, the mean between the two extremes is the safe one to follow. If I might be permitted to express my 0 iriion on what kind of sheep woul bring in the greatest profit to the farmers in this vicinity, I would say, get a good large grade ewe from merinos,crossed with any of the Downs sheep, either Axford, Shropshire or Lester, and cross them with a full- blood Shropshire to raise grade black- nose lambs. This cross contains more of the essential qualities for- both wool and mutton combined tlran any other l I know of. \Vc get. front the Merino I firiiincss of wool and te_\'turc, from the . Downs staple and size. ainl crossiiigl with the Sliropslriregi\'csc;ri-ly in:iti.i- rity. rnottlctl i.-ices and silky l('g‘.~‘.\Vlllt:ll iircjiist as itct'c.‘il‘_\'. it needs Ql)t)lll the sxirne, arnount or pluck and crrcrgy that t-liar- :tct(-.r'i7.i-s any other iiiilii.sti'_v. It is not the airiourrt of time and rnoiicy that one puts into :1 busiricss, but tlicjudi- cious use of that l‘.llll(' and money that insiircs the best. results and the rnair who likes the btisiness will be most likely to give it the best attention and get from it the best returns. To raise wool and lambs rcqiiircs a gooal place, and to feed sheep we must tirst got ready. You can teed hogs arrywliere on the ground, cattle aroirnd a straw stack, but to get airy rnoiiey out of feeding sheep. we must have a suitable place and everytliiiig hziridy, and if we do it ourselves and want to tigure a great big profit we must for- get to count otir own tiiirc. Sonic of you lovers of some special brccds may not approve ot this inan- nor of rnakiirg grades, but in my opiii- ioir tlieavt-.i-age farnrer will make rnorc inoncy out of a. good grade than he will to tiiidertakc to ru ii on a spot-ialty. Sonreoric will $:l_\’, “Wlicrc will we get our t,lioroiiglibi'eds if we all l':1l.’~‘(‘. gr':itlcs‘.”’ I don’t expect we are all go- ing to raise gratlcs. Thcrc will be plian- ty of register-ct,I slit-ep we can buy t'roiir tliosc that make a spot-ialty ol soiiic particular blood, and we can always buy ll)t'lll fora i'c:i.~:orialrlc price if we will. \Vh:tt is the case now? The fried- ers do cverytliing tlic_v can to avoid buyiiig lllcriiio l':lll1.~<‘,flll(I in buying a tlockto feed we c:ui’t. help getting an t)V(‘l' supply of good Irirt.-ks even at two-tliirtls what wctlicrs cost. Now, when shall we sell our slicop? llcrc is ariotlicr point not to be over- looked. I presiinie you tliliik I :1nigo- ing to say. “Sell them to nic when l t-oinealoirg and want. thcin.” But you know there is one good thing about this whole birsiiiess; you don’t have to sell them unless you want. to, and you nectln’t believe one word I say if the argiiiiicrrts :id\'ariccd don't meet your approval. The average farincr that has a few good wetlrcrs to turn oil’ each year caii get, as tl. rule, more clean iiroiicy for them right from grass and before he has put airy grain into them than over afterwards. 'I‘lrer'e is the sharp corri- petitiou between biiycrs, the desire among feeders to secure the good ones even if they cost too much, thinking perhaps tlicy will grow to it, which makes thorn pay rnor: for the sheep in the fall than he is \vortlr wlrcn half fattcd. Then again, if he has had good luck with his larribs. his flock will iii- crease so fast he will need the feed that wotild be corisunied by the wetliers if held until winter. Now,:ibout feeding the sheep we ex- pect to wiirter. The impression that we must save the best teed until spring is erroircoiis. Give the sheep the best. care and grain, (not most graiii,)iri the fall when he is rriakiirg his coat for wiri- ter, and their when the cold weather comes on,lic has fat on his ribs and cloth- ing on his back to keep liirii warm without. that extra attention that would be riecessary under the other treatrncrit. Now, Patrons, these rariiblirig re.- marks may not be worth much; they don’t cost anything, so whatever they are worth is clear profit. I am just as glad to receive information as to give it and a little friendly discussion will do us all good. “The out Folks at Home ” WHITE SEAL BURNING [Hill The New York Board of Health estimates that 30.- ooo lives have been destroyed by the explosive qiialit ties of petroleum.
