Title First Syiiiptomsi

Of all Lung diseases are much the same :
leverishness, loss of appetite, sore
throat, pains in the chest and back,
Iieailnche, etc. In B few days you may
be well, or, on the other hand, you may
be down with Pneumonia or " galloping
Consumption." Run no risks, but begin
Immediately to take Ayer’s Cherry
Pectorai.

Several years ago, James Birchnrd, of
Dsrien, 0onn., was severely ill. The
doctors said he was in Consumption.
and that they could do nothing for him,
but ndvised him. ass. last resort, to try
Ayor's Cherry Pectorsi. After taking
this medicine, two or three months, he
was pronounced a. well man. His health
lotnnins good to the present day.

J. 8. Bradley, Maiden, Ma.ss., writes:
" Three winters ago I took a severe cold,
which rapidly developed into Bronchitis
and Consumption. I was so weak that
I could not sit up, was much emaciated,
and coughed incessantly. I consulted
several doctors, but they were power-
less, and all agreed that I was in Con-
sumption. At last, a friend brought me
8 bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pcctornl.
From the first dose, I found relief.
Two bottles cured me, and my health
has since been perfect."

Moi.i:\'i~: Graiigc, No. 248, on the 24th
of Septcinbor inct‘by invitntion at the
homc of Brother and Sister ll:itii:i\vziy,
in Byron. \Ve found them all us busy
as bees, luivingjust returned from the
West Michigan Fair. Bro. ll. had on
exhibition thcre sheep and horses. Five
of the former were Lincolnshires, just
imported from Caiiatla. His one and
two-year-old Short- Horn heifers were
beiiutics. He took first premiums on
all his exhibits. llis farm of 300 acres
shows care and hard Work. The fields
have been made to blossom like the
rose and have enriched the owner till
he is no longer obliged to drndge but
can and does give attention to fine
stock and their care. These Patrons
welcomed us with true hospitality and
made all feel at ease with this family
of cultured and refined people. Very
soon the house was filled with Patrons
and their families and each one was in-
tent on enjoying the passing hours.
About one o’clock We were called to
the dining room and most bouiitit'ully
feasted (not neglecting Sister Felton’s
chicken pie.) After music, vocal and
instrumental, the large, new bank barn
was visited, as was also the fine stock.
Their appearance called for it unani-
mous verdict in favor of their owner
for his eviden-t care and skill. After
many hearty l'lii.ll(lélllt1k0S we took leave
of‘ this happy home, wishing its in-
mates success till we meet again.

the rural and isolated population than
all other Orders combined.

WE take this opportunity to inform
our Grange friends thatGra.ttan Graiige
has changed its meetings from Satur-
day afternoon, once in two weeks, to
Tliursday. We have our meetings
weekly but hold one in the afternoon
every four weeks on or before the new
moon. \Ve do this to accommodate
those who can not attend in the even-
ing. The other three weeks our meet-
ings will be in the evening. We give
this notice so that our Grange friends
will know when to visit us for we as-
sure them a real welcome. Come pre-
pared to entertain us as well as to be
entertained and then you can not fall
of havinga profitable and enjoyable
meeting. Let us all this winter devise
some means to make our meetings more
interesting if we can, and we can if we
think and work for it. No resii good
comes without labor. AUNT KATE.

Every wife and mother in the coun-

Ayer’s S:u'srp:irilln. as a. blood purifier.
It gives tone, health, and strength, to

The season for fziriners’ meeting for
discussion approaches. Ciiib and
Grange meetings may have great value
if their opportunities be well used.
They bring fzirmers together for. coin-
p:iri.-on of views and interchzinge of
thought whereby practiczil guiiis in
l':irming mzw be realized. Give such
meet ings t'ull support and they become

THE G-HANG-E V ISITOR.

The Realist and the Novel.

’l‘he realist, having defined what a
novel is or should be, has consequently
couimitted himself to writing one that
corresponds to his definition. But he
makes his first mistake in attempting
to give adefinition of a novel at all.
For that kind of writing, like some
other things, is very difiicult to define.
But the realist knows, for has he not
written a novel? And can he not tell
what it is and how it is done? It is all
a matter of study, persistent labor and
talent. And, he continues, a man of
talent can do anything in this line, if
he only tries hard enough. There is
nothing so hard in it but what labor
will overcome. Yet the educated world
has ever held that the works of our
eminent novelists could only be pro-
duced by authors who possessed geni-
us. Hence our realist, being hard
pushed in this direction, denies that
there is sucha thing as genius. 'l‘he
word is a misnomer. it is all done by
talent. Consequently, these realistic
writers have undertaken to write down
genius and to write up talent. But they
have got an impossible task on hand,
for genius, “like Banquo’s ghost, will
not down at their bidding.”

Mr. Howells, who is at the head of‘
this r'eali.~stic inovciuent,in:iy railal and
try to ignore genius, but it will be in
vain; it is too ethereal for his touch or
attack:-‘. If the biologist. is powerless
to tell how the sap is drawn through-
out the tisslles of’ the plant, if he can
not explain the subtle tricks of vege-
table life. why shall we expect the
critic todescribe the occult pi-oce:-ses of‘
human genius? The flower has its per-
fnme, but how does it generate it, and
how does it send it to our nostrils?
How does the wood Violet fling its blue
into our eyes? "Everytliing in this
materialistic age that can not be pho-
tographed and touched, and dissected,
is rejected as valueless, and tliercfore
genius is laughed at; but yet, even in
science, wherever genius has wrought,
there is a fascinating something a
literary perfume” —- says Maurice
Thompson, “which certain specially
endowed writers are able to emit
through the medium of words.” Hugh
Miller, Agassiz, Goethe, LaPlace, and
Newton have influenced men thus in-
explicably. To say that such men as
these, or that Scott, Burns, or Byron,
were men of talent is simply ridicu-
lous. Such an expression recalls a
scene in one ofCliarles Lamb’s literary
clubs in London-. \Vhil9 the celebri-

ties at one of these clubs were discuss-_

ing various topics. the Bard of Avon
was nientioned,at which a gentleman
present remarked that Sliakespearc
was a man of talent! This was too
uiucli for Lamb. He arose froui his
self; and, turning his face to the wall.
muttered by way of relief, “ilc_v-(lid-
dle, high-diddle, hey-diddle-dee I" and
then turning around. said, extending
his hand, “Let me feel of that m:in’s
head; I want to examine his bumps!”
The man, alarmed, tried to hide from
him when a friend called L.-unb into
an adjoining room and quieted him
somewliat, when he came back into
the club room and the entertainment
Went on.

And now, at the close of the nine-
teenth century, the leaderof American
realism calls old Homer and the great
Shakespeare-—men of talent! Shades
of departed genius, what an estimate
of your powers!

But the realist’s low estimate of
man’s intellectual powers comports
with his views of fiction, Which, he
says, is getting narrower, consequently
talent plus industry can achieve every-
thing in it.

Ititill we regard Howells as a man of
rare intellectual endowment, and,
whether he will acknowledge it or not,
we believe that “genius sits astride of
his neck and writes through his hand.”
It is a clear case of genius turned real-
ist, as far as novel writing is concerned.
But there is this difficulty in the mat-
ter: Figs are not produced from this-
ties; a realistic genius can only write
his own peculiar kind of novel, because
he eliminates f'rom his fiction the very
qualities which would give life and
interest to its characters. That is, he,
asa novelist, discards the emotional
and ‘the heroic, the romantic and the
marvelous. Human nature, thus re-
duced, is too meager to sustain strong
characters and all hisattempts to make
them entertaining result in a failure.
It is like giving the play of Hamlet
with the part of the Prince of Den-
mark left out. There is not enough of
such flction to give a zest to reading.
The delicrht of the great romances is
entirelyiackiug in them. It is a de-
scriplion of manners and a dissection
of character, over and over again, till
it becomes monotonous and vapid.

Again, the field, or the range of ac-
tion, is narrowed down to mere ordi-
dary life. The novelist reproduces hu-
man life and in doing so it is his prov-
ince, in the language of the poet, to

“Epatiate free, o’er all this scene of man,

A mighty maze, but not without a plan.”

But our realist says that romance
and heroism debaucli the reader and
he will have nothing of’ them, that it
is the barbarous element in us that
leads us to delight in reading such nov-
cls. \Ve should seek higher and better
cl-rding——novels with the marvelous
and heroic left out.

Mr. Howells says the stories have all
been told; hence we must have a new
iiovel—-one without a story. But since
M r. Howells said that the stories had
all been told, “H. H.” has written Ra-
mona, one of the bestand mostdclight-
ful stories of t.-e present time. A nov-
cl without a story is like a string of

beads with the string withdrawn.
From the child to the old man, the sto-
ry is what holds, entertains, and im-
proves. As well say that the songs have
all been sung, the poems all written,
the pictures all painted, the Witty
things all said, the brave and heroic
acts of man all ‘-played out,” as to say
that the stories have all been told. The
stories all been told! Human nature
is as full of rich material f'or the novel-
ist to-day as it ever was. All that is
wanting is the man with the genius
to tell the story. And no age has ever
lacked such a genius long. Achilles
found his Homer. }Eneas his Virgil,
Greece her Herodotus, Rome her Livy,
England hcr Hume, her Fielding and
Jane Austin, her Scott, Dickens and
Thackery. For the historianas well
as the novelist is a story teller. Every
age will have need of both. Human
life will always afford thematerial for
the narrative and will never lack the
narrator. V. B.

Home Makers.

The village of Cedar Springs, Kent
Co., was highly honored and entertain-
ed by the instructive address on agri-
culture delivered by our brother Pat-
ron and esteemed fellow citizen, Gov.
Luce.

Though not privileged to listen to
his inspiring words, in the synopsis
given me by one of his liearers, the ad-
vice givcii to young people starting in
life, scenicd the keynote of harmony
and success in lil'c’s work. Tliongli
given in :1 playful inanucr, it was none
the less to the l\oint.

As the fouudatioii of a siicccssfiil
fiiriu life and the first essential to a
pro.~'pcroiis, happy home. he urged the
iie,i:e.-sity of getting the best iuipro\'cd
ways of farming. 'l‘o begin with.
"Young men, when you choose a wife.
select from the best there is. I know
by your faces that some of you here
lo-day will be married inside ota year.
And, young ladies, when you choose a
husband don’t accept one whose breath
smells of cinnamon and cloves, and you
don’t know where he’s been.”

This soundly practical advice is Wor-
thy a place in every young person’s
mind contemplating making a home
in the future, and that is undoubtedly
the honored place in life the majority
of’ us will eventually fill.

Are we preparing ourselves to be
home makers in the noblest, truest
sense of the word?

We must remember “home is not
merely four square walls,” and the hap-
piness of its inmates is not dependent
on wealth or aflineucc, but solely on
the disposition to do our best. in the
sphere we are placed in and on the love
we have forour liomeand its dear ones
and our efforts to make it the “dearest
spot on earth.”

It is the place where all our best af-
fections center, and when the inmates
are a united band of laborers, and ear-
nestly and lovingly do what is for the
best interest and liappiness, temporally
and spiritually for the ones in the
home nest, then will the palace or the
cottage be a throne oflovo where kings
or qnceiis might not be entertained
more royally and loyall_v.

Young 1nan.are tlie“pretty” face and
gay manners of the young lady who.-e
society you seek the only charms that
keep you interested?

Do you know her mind on the sober,
practical side of life? Is she kind and
helpful in her own home and willing
to bear with grandma’s childish ways
and to help the younger ones enjoy
their childish sports, directing their
thoughts into pure,healthful channels?
Is she thoughtful of the comfort of
those around her and willing to make
sacrifices, if necessary, for the good of
those she loves best? In short, is she
one whose mind takes tlieethical views
of life and makes the ideal parallel with
the practical, one who will aid you in
every good, whose advice _vou consider
worth the asking, whose confidence you
could trust in all the affairs of 1ife,one
whom you consider yourequal, whose
beauty of soul will grow lovelier to
you as the years go by, leaving their
impress on the bloom of youth?

Dear young friend, are you in your
maidenly heart eiithroiiing one whose
winning manners and gallant ways
have won your love? Oh, look deeper.
“Keep the heart with all diligence. for
out of it are the issues of life.” Look
f‘or beauty of soul. See that his inner
life is as blameless as his manners.
Know that he is kind, forbearing, and
obliging in his own home, respectful
and loving to his parents, and gallant
to his own sisters.

Does he only indulge in an “occa-
sional glass,” or “smoke once in a
while(?) with a friend?” Does he not
have the respect for himself to re-
nounce these disgusting habits and the
moral courage to bravely defend puri-
ty and justice in any place? Then do
not expect he will “reform” in mar-
ried lif'c. He will be very likely to
do as the man in the train did. His
friend asked him why he sat in the
smoking car and neglected to pay his
wife the attention he did before mar-
riage. “Do you run to catch the train
after you are aboard? \Vhy, no, of
course not. You just sit back and
smoke,” was the significant reply.

Dear sister, if you are a lovcrof puri-
ty and virtue in the inner life, never
accept the attentions of a young man
whose propensities crop outside in to-
bacco smoke and the character of a
“wine bibbcr.” If he does not respect
his manhood enough to proclaim
against these evils and renounce them
before marriage, you may expect he
will “just sit back and smoke” after.

These words do not come from expe-
rience bought With disappointments,
or a realized, happy wedded lite, but

from “one of the young people” who
loves home and its tender associations
next to the Great Giver of‘ all these
blessings and knows that the lives that
are molded in the home extend in un-
ending influence and make our nation
what it is and is to be for weal or woe.
Let us cultivate every noble virtue in
our lives and weed out the bad in the
garden of our hearts, and with a sense
of the grandness and greatness of the
responsibilities we may assume in the
future home of our own make ourselves
worthy of the best for a life companion.
May we so live that we shall be capa-
ble of guiding the buds of promise,
that may be entrusted to our keeping,
to a noble manhood and womanhood,
socially, intéllectnallv,and religiously.

Do not deceive the one who will
eventually know all you r good and bad
qualities, but be yourself in your
courting days, ever striving to make
your life what. you could wish others
to believe it to be.

Do not expect perfection in the one
you love, but see that the major part
of his or her nature tends upward. Be
forbearing with minor faults and seek
to correct them with a gentle charity
“that. is kind” and “thinketh no evil.”
Then shall we progress onward and up-
ward to the ideal home life. Thus may
our homes be the sunuiest places on
earth and a preparation for the para-
dise above. JULIA llirivrino.

The Value of. and How to Manage a
Reserved Tlmber Lot.

'I‘l1c-re comes a tiniein the history of
each fiirmer, or at leastf,li<-i'e sliould,
when the question ni'isos, -‘llow much
of‘ my farm shall I in1prove?"' or in
other words, "How much woodland
should I l'(3S(.‘.l'Vtl for future use?"

in treating this question we should
llrsl take into consideration the condi-
tion of' the r.-ountry regarding its tini-
ber resource. If timber is abundant
and cheap, and we are dcsirou;-i of‘.-c-
curing all the available. land po_-'.-'iblc
for agricultural purposes it would be
well in such a case to reserve r'lf‘tceii of‘
each eighty acres of" the best timber,
selecting that piece which n ill contain
the greatest variety for f'uelandduild-
ing purposes.

The location of the reserved timber
lot should be. if'not too inconvenient,
on the highest elevation possible. The
reasons for this are obvious and im-
portant —f‘orests on higher lands pre-
vent the rapid impoverishment of the
soil by retaining the rain and melting
snow and allowing it to percolate
through the soil, thus gradually fur-
nishing moisture to the growing crops;
they also make better windbreaks than
though they were left on the lower
lands.

In addition to this amount of wood-
land the farlner should plant. one or
two rows of trees along the front of his
farm, by so doing he greatly improves
the beauty of his place and the sur-
rounding country, and at the 5-‘.‘1l‘ll(‘
time he is guarding himself'toa certain
extent against the 'disa.~al1'on:-i Winds
with which lie is sure to come occa-
sionally in contact. In planting the
trees we should select those kinds which
are useful as well as <-rnamental, 5. e.,
for bees, the basswoods, maples and lo-
custs; for fruit, some of the thrifty
growing cultivated cherries; for nuts,
those trees which grow best in the lo-
cality, for instance in Michigan, hick-
ories, butteruuts, walnuts and in some
counties the chestnut.

How shall We best preserve intact
our wood-land lot? To many, in the-
ory, this has been an easy question,
but in practice a decidedly diflicult
one. And our great trouble has been
the injuries resulting f'rom fires, owing
to the fact that the chosen place for
the reserved timber has usually been
at one corner of the farm and quite
often joining the woods of a neighbor.
As a consequence when that neighbor
clears his adjoining land and burns the
timber, the heat as a rule destroys the
outside timber of the reserved lot, and
frequently the fire runs over the whole
piece burning out the leaves and muck,
thus leaving the land in such poor con-
dition that the trees soon die, and the
whole piece is ultimately sacrificed
to the axe. Again pasturing cattle
and sheep in such places has often
proved the ruination of reserved tim-
ber; for they will finally destroy all
the young trees and shrubs which are
the great agents in retaining the mois-
ture of the land. It is the young trees
which take the place of the old men-
archs of the forests, the sauie as each
generation of young men and wouien
soon take the place of the veterans in
life’s battle.

In our humble opinion hogs and
calves, and perhaps horses, would be
the only sat'e animals to pasture in
such a place, and even then the hogs
might require ringing‘. Hogs will
do remarkably well in the Fall when
the nuts are dropping; in the summer
while pasture is scant, their regular
food could be supplemented with
grain.

In such ii reserved wood lot all old
logs and brlish should be cleared out.
thus making the place attractive as
well as useful.

Fuel and building timber, if used
economically can be gradually taken
from such a piece of wood-land, being
sure to select injured and decaying
trees, and occasionally replanting
thrifty young ones.

If the country is old at time of clear-
ing the farm, We Would advise leaving
at least twenty of each eighty acres of
timber. The rule of the Duke of'Bur-
gundy was to leave one-third of the
land to woods.

Few of the farmers of our country
realize as yet what a friend they have
in the forest. Those some farmers will
tell you as the country grows older
and forests disappear, that droughts

are common, whereas when the coun-
try was wooded they were of‘ rare oc-
cnrence. They say wind storms are
more destructive and more frequent,
and also that frosts do more damage
than formerly.
the accounts of the results of deforest-
ation in Eastern countries to convince
any of us of the liecessity of‘ each far-
mer reserving and carefull y pl'0l.t'I.‘Llllg
a certain portion of his timber.

We beliew that no young man who
ownes afarni,could devote a portion
of‘ his time and invest a little money
to better purpose to secure a recom-
pense for old age, than by planting ten
or fifteen acres of land to some of our
valuable lumber varieties of trees.

[Extracts from an address delivered be-
fore the associalion at a convention held at
jacksoii, Mich., Wednesday, Sept. 2], r887,
by the Secretary, Frank Little, of Kala-
mazoo.]

‘ “ "‘ Man devotes the larger
share of his time, energies and skill in
the procurement of food, clothing and
shelter to supply his bodily wants.

* * * Food- nutrition, these are
the synonyms of life. Want of food
implies starvation, death.

Among the essential elements of
f'ood, bread, made ofvarious substances,
but principally of grain, has always
been held in high esteem and general
use in all ages, among all people. It
is denoininafcd “the staffot life.”

Millers ofM ichigan l The graneries
of the world are full of wheat and
corn; and the flour, that you in com-
mon with your follow-craftsmen in all
the :5U,OU0 mills of the United States
are inamil'a<-tnring, so pure and while-.
lilcrally gocs to feed the nations of’ the
earth with bread. Such is your mis-
sion and high calling.

First and f0l’(‘lll0i~‘i in importance
and magnitude in its commercial and
vital aspects, taking the most honored,
well-dc.-‘crved rank, merchant flooring
and the general grist mill business
.-tands pre-eminently far in advance of
all other Aincrican industries.

Census returns show that of thirty-
z~'CVt‘ll scheduled leading and most
prominent industrial enterprises in the
U. S. having an animal output of $30,-
000,000 and upwards, “fiouring and
grist mills,” the business you rep-
present in this convention to-day,
stands at the head.

To the cursory reader or listener,
statistical facts and figures are general-
ly considered dry and uninteresting,
but the intelligent man, the philoso-
pher and scientist, they have an ab-
sorbing deep significance.

There is a liindoo proverb, "that a
snail, seeing its own shell, thinks it the
graudest palace in the universe.” And
there is an aspiration, a condition of
knowledge so circumscribed, so pre-
judicml and meagre; that one is re-
minded oftlie anecdote of" the colored
man, who h‘{il(i——“[ll{lt his brother, al-
though seemingly wise and forward in
his i(len.s was a very bigoted per-soil.”
“How so”? he was asked. "Well, you
see; he knows too uiueh for one nigger,
but not quite enough for two”!

How common :1. thing to meet per-
sons whose vision and breadth of’
thought is narrowed to the limits
of their own immediate surroundings,
and the rcsiilts of seine personal busi-
ness venture.

Technical knowledge of any science
or branch of industry is good; while a
practical adaptation and use of such
knowledge, coupled with successful
experience, makes up the grand and
complete sum of all human achieve-
ment.

Philosophers, statesmen and politi-
cal economists have declared that the
wealth and material welfare of nations
and of people depends upon their nu-
merical military strength, and finan-
cial prosperity; and that these ele-
ments of success are primarily deter-
mined by the productive eapacitv and
industrial forces each country possesse
within itself.

Here very properly may be given
some statistical items showing the
enormous resources and strength of
the American Nation, and of our own
State of Michigan. The most reliable
census reports give the following
leading estimates:

Tln--e items show conclusively that

Anio.~riran industries, and the figuru
given are approximately correct.

A Kentuckian was once asked to G-
timate as accurately as possible the
annual aggregate yield of corn in his
State. He said “That he could not
say precisely in bushels, what it
but this he knew, that they
enough to make all the whiskey they
wanted and sonic over that was wasted

In reference to the modern milling,
time will not permit the enumeration
of even the more prominent ideas and
agencies that have contributed to the
development‘ of this important in-
dustry since the period more than
eighteen hundred years ago, whm
-‘two women sat grinding at a mill.”

It is more than three hundred years
ago since Galileo declared “that the
earth moved,” and earlier than this,
from barbaric times down through the
centuries in the world’s history to
these later days, man has marked his

Young ladies are said to be divided
into two distinct classes——those who
chew gum, and those who do not. In
like manner, inillers are divided into
two classes-——those who believe in the
advantages of association, and those
who do not.

No one can demonstrate with abso-
lute exactness mathematically or
otherwise the benefits to be derived
f'roni associations, either general or
particular in character. Brit lunch
accrues to wide awake intelligent
members by contact, a<*quaintange-
.-‘hip, social intercourse, and the inter-
change of ideas, practices and personal
experiences; while the aggregate moral
and material f'ort~e, actual and implied
in fhe union ofany con.-idcrable iinm-
bcr of intelligent, progressive cour-
ngeous men seel-;iiig to promote their
business interests, carries weight, and
commands attention and respect.

We have not aspired to present new
thoughts or new theories. \Vhile we
follow beaten paths, we believe in
earliest endeavor, honest Work. In
this world of busy energy and active
thought we must not stand still.

The London Miller, an English
magazine. in a recent number referring
to the Qua-en’s jubilee of‘ fifty yean,
sovereignty says: “In fifty years of
progress, it agriculture has advanced
an inch, milling has compassed I
league. The venerable water mill
has yielded to the power of steam.
The roller rivals the millstonc, the
new process has supplanted the old.
\Vhile the centrifugals, the disinte-
grates, the scalpers, the purifiersand
scores of other machines, attest the
progress of mechanical ingenuity and
engineering skill, better and cheaper
bread is the result; while a new force
in nature electricity has been har-
nessed to work side by side with the
long established energies of air, water
fire and steam. * "' ‘

As we avail ourselves of the genius
of invention, the skill of‘ artisans, the
hidden forces of nature and the ever
widening discoveries in chemistry and
philosophy; as we move around and
upward in the scale of being and
human development, We shall more
fully realize the truth given by in-
spiration “that man does not live by
bread alone,” but, that in the great
universe of God; in the midst ofa
world of‘ beauty, of grandeur and in-
exhaustible resources, he lives as Well
in every thought, and word and deed,
of‘ his moral and intellectual being.

Remarkable Surgery.

The science of surgery has made
such wonderful progress in modern
times that the most intricate and del-
icate operations are now undertaken
and carried to a successful issue.
There are now several well authenti-
cated cases of what is known as pneu-
motony, that is to say, the removal of
diseased portions of the lungs in cases
of consumption. While, however, this
delicate operation has sometimes been
successfully performed, the risks at»
tending it are so great, and the chancel
of recovery so slight, that it is seldom
resorted to. The safest plan in con-
sumptive cases is to use Dr. Pierce’!
Golden Medical Discovery. This will
always cure the disease in its earlier
stages, thoroughly arresting the rav-
ages of the terrible malady, by remov-
ing its cause and healing the lung

_‘,
The Valley of Silence.
ABHAM 1. RYAN.

H the hush of the valley of silence,
‘I dream all the songs that I sing;

And the music floats down the dim valley,
Till each finds a word for a wing,

Eat to hearts, like the dove of the deluge,
A message of peace they may bring.

X far on the deep there are billows,
That never shall break on the beach;

And I have heard songs in the silence,
That never shall float into speech;

And I have had dreams in the valley
Too lofty for language to reach.

And I have seen thoughts in the valley —
Ah, me! how my spirit was stirred!

And they wear holy veils on their faces——
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;

They pass through the valley like vii gins,
Too pure for the touch of a word.

by you ask me the place of the valley,
Ye hearts that aie harrowed by care?

ltlieth afar between mountains,
And God and his angels are there;

One is the dark mountain of sorrow,
And one the bright mountain of prayer.

MOLLlE'S REMEDY.

“Please, Fred, don’t smoke. I can-
not bear the smell of that tobacco !”

“Pshaw, Mollie, yoii’ll soon get. ac- 3

onstomed to it. Thousuiids of women
do. It isn't at all bad after you are
used to it,” replied Fred, careless of any
body’s conitort but his own.

“But, Fred, once you wouldn’t have
done what I asked you not to do."
pleaded l\lollie.eriiestl_\’. “Just think.
we haven’t been iiiarricd quite two
inontlis yet, and you are so entirely
disregarding my comfort. Fred, dear.
please doii’t,” contiiiued Mollie taking
her husb:in.l"s hand beseecliingly.
‘You know what tobacco has done tor
Uncle Jake, and I d0ii’t want my
husband to be like liiin.”

Mr. VVoodman laughed loiidl_v and
exclaimed, “Now, Mollie. really you
aregetting too particular. Your deli-

cate sense of smell will have to be‘

toned down a little. And the idea of
your comparing me to old, crabbed
Uncle Jake with his wife in the insane
asylum, and his boy almost adesper-
ado! They did tell me when I was
beginning to go up to Deacon ()lark’s
tosee you, they did used to say, ‘Mol-
he Clark is as lively and smart a girl
at you would wish for a wite, but. no-
body would marry her, she has shown
such a strong mind on that woiii2i.n’s
right’s question.’ Really, my dear,
you musn’t let me be called a hen-
ked husband quite so soon.” And
Fred took the cigar from his mouth,
blew a cloud of smoke from his lips,
and kissed his wife, notwitlistandiiig
her wry face, as though he had been
partaking of some balm of a tlioiisaiid
flowers. Then, thinking, “I’ve settled
that little ditference,” he departed to
his otiice.
The description Mr. W'oodinan had
given of his wife was one most of her

7.considered such a “catch” by all the

‘hood were predicting awful conse-

acquaintanees would have given before
her marriage. But our mere acquain-
tances judge usually by surface appear-
ances, being unable to see our inner
lives, motives or qualities.

It is true, Mollie was called “a strong
minded woman.” And when some of
her friends remoiistrated with her, and
assured her it was the “talk of the
town,” she only replied, ‘Why, I think
it is far from disgraceful not to be
called weak-minded. To be called
strong-minded is a. compliment !”

She had aided in several ways the
woman’s cause in its infancy. “Such
a pity !” the neighbors said. “She was
a good girl, so witty and smart, and a
splendid housekeeper. It was too bad
for her to do so, tor no one would mar-
ry a girl with such a mind of her
own.”

So when Fred Woodman. who was

mamnias in town, came and wanted
this terrible Mollie to be his Wife, he
was warned on every side. People
told him with horror that she “emer-
tained the siit’t'rage speaker who lec-
tured in town I’-' And she was "taking
a siitfrage paper!”

But Fred was not disniayed. In
spite of Mollieis uiipopularfiideas, she
was pretty, kind, loving and lovable.
So the day was tixed and the event
came off.

For a week afterward the neighbor-

quciices. Ilut when Mollie’s :ippar-
ently terrible qualities were disrobed
and shown to the world minus I).-ime
Ruinor’s dressing. her strong-niinded-
ness appeared only righteousness. and
her so-called love of power was sini-
plv a love of fairness.

Mollie had resolved that her lins-
baiid should not be :1 slave to the hub-
it of smoking, and the first step, as we
have seen, was one of renioiistraiice

That method failing in such an un-
proniising way, Mollie set her strong
mind to work in a way peculiar to
llPI‘Sf,‘.lI, in order to find a remedy
which should be quick and effectual.

As she swept and dusted the cozy
little sitting room, her face bore a pre-
occupied look; as she put the chamber
.iii order, on her face was a look of .
quiet determination; and later, as she
nicely washed the potatoes and put 1
them in the oven, there was a beam of ,
kindly satisfaction on her counteiiance. ,
\Vlien she had arranged the table and 5
everything was ready for dinner, she ‘
took ti. lamp in her hand : nl went
down cellar. After a few uiiiiutes she
appeared again in the kitchen, with *
two moderate-sized, very respectable-
looking onions in her hand.

She smiled to herself as she prepared
these two vegetables, which were
raised iii Farmer Soinebody’s garden,
with a destiny to be used as instru-
ments of defense. After she had
chopped one of them, she covered it i
with vinegar, and proceeded to eat 

the not over-tempting mixture.

It is only necessai'y to add that if
there was any thing Mr. \Voodman
detested, it was onions.

Dinner was smoking hot. on the
board when the master of the house
returned. Mollie stood at the table,
with her back to the door, as he came
into the kitchen in great spirits. But
he stopped suddenly, and exclaimed,
“Oh, Moilie, you haven’t been cooking
onions! Bah, they are the meanest of
all smelling thiiigsl And what. is the
matter, Mollie? You might welcome
a tired, hungry fellow ina different
style from this. Last week my wife
used to kiss me when Icame home.
l’ve been trained that way,” and the
inconsistent fellow turned Mollie
around, and kissed her.

"Bahl” he snorted vociferously,
‘-have you been eating onions?”

“Why, yes,” replied Mollie, with a.
mischievous twinkle in her eye.
“You’ll get accustomed to them.
They aren’t at all bad when you are
used to them.”

Fred paused abruptly, and looked
half displeased; but it was only his
own words turned against. him, so he
could not be offended.

"Tliousiiiids of woni'en eat onions,
Fred. Your delicate sense ot' smell
will have to be toned down a little.”

There was the sauie rognish twinkle
in l\lollie’s eye, and Fred could only
laugh foolishly, with a lialt-asliaiiicd
look on his face.

“I see. Mollie what you’ro trying to
do,” said lie; “but really, this is only
foolisliiiess. You never heard ofaiiy-
body in your station iiiukiiig :1 prac-
tice of eating such things.”

“Oh, yes,” answered Mollie. "it’s
going to be very womanly. After we

woiiieiiliave been busy with our liouse- ‘

hold duties, we need sonietliiiig to
quiet our iiervt-s.”

Fred was thoroughly disconilited, but
laugliiiigly turned the subject as they
sat down to dine.

After the meal was over, Mollie
said, "Fred, if you are going to have a
cigar before you go to the otlice, I’ll
keep you company.and let my dinner
dishes wait.” ‘

"\Vliat!” cried Fred, “you can’t
siiioke?”

“Oh no, Fred: I don’t like the smell
of tobacco,” and she caiiie into the sit-
ting rooui with the other onion in her
hand.

“Goodness!” exclaimed the victim,
“You aren’t going to eat that! I’lcase
don’t! Really the room will hold the
scent, and I asked Lawyer Pitinan to
step in and have a——’’

-‘()lil you asked him to come in and
have a cigar! \Vell. glad you told
uie Fred,” said the toriiieiiter. briskly;
"l’ll wait till he comes!”

“Now really, Mollie, this is t.o b.-id,”

any thing! Mollie, please don't come
into the room; your breath is so
scented he can’t help smelling it.”

“Well,” said cruel Mollie, “he is an-
other of your men with a delicate
sense of smell. What is this world
coming to? P1! tone you both down.
It isn’t riglit for you to have such sen-
sitive noses!”

At that moment the door-bell
rang, and Fred went to the door, with
a last iniploring look at Mollie, who,
with :1 victorious little laugh, called
atterhiiii, “I shall come in if I smell
smoke.”

Mollie felt confident that she had
won the day, and went to her Work
with a happy heart.

She did not smell smoke. When
the front door had closed after Mr.
l’itinan, she heard her husband’s foot-
steps. He came into the room and
said, “M ollie, before I go to my Work,
let’s ‘forgive and forget.’ We’ll have
fair play after this. I’ve learned the
lesson, ‘What is sauce t'or the goose is
sauce for the gander.’ ”

‘‘That’s it, Fred. You’re a reasona-
ble old fellow, attei-till.
you. if you will me.”

“All right, little wile. No more ci-
gars, no more oiiioiis,” and he play-
fully placed his lniiid over his nose, as
he kissed her good-by.

Mollie. woman-like. would have the
last word, and called after him, “We-‘ll
soon get act-ustoirietl to it."-L. E. B.

The National Grange.

A month more and we shall find the
Natioiiiil Grange in scsi-ion in the city
of Liiiisiiig. The represeiitzitives of‘
this letltllllg orgaiiization of F:l.l'll1Bl‘S
of Alll(:l'lC{l will hold their next session
in the Capitol Building of our own
State. On Wednesday, November 16,
at 11 o’clock, the Grange will be called
to order by Worthy Master Dardeii, of
Mississippi, in the Hall of the House of
Reprcsciitiitivcs.

We must not forget that this is an
important event. Each year the Na-
tional Grange is invited to hold its
next 8885-ll0ll in several cities widely
distant from each other. Worthy
Master Luce, in a well contested strife
for the honor, at the sessioii in Phila-
delphia iii 1886, succeeded in making
our State the central point. to which
all must couie who make up this im-
portant legislative body. The oppor-
tunity to attend another session of the
Natioiial (_}l':lllg0 in this State will not
:ig:‘iiii occur duriiig the life time of
iniiny of us, and those who can should
not lziil to attend. There we Slltlll iiieet

have answered it twice a month in the
GRANGE VISITOR tor the last three
months and we have no time to con-

Until the 5th iiist., our individual
opinion was given as to what we
thought the State Grange would do
about this matter. We advised that
no payment of royalty be made of any
amount whatever. We assumed as
probable that the Executive Com-
mittee of the State Grange would en-
dorse the opinion we expressed and at
the meeting of the coiiiinittec held in
Luiisiiig on the 5th iiist., our course
was eiidorscd by the coiiiiiiiltee. Tho

and four dciiyiiig the validity of the 
patent. In the other cases passed upon
by the court the evidence was fair from
coiiclusion, as shown by the fact. that
three judges dissented. The State
Grange of Micliigun, in 1881 and ’82,
collected 8. mass of evidence that has
not yet been used in defense of the
rights of the people; and until driven
from the position then taken and
Iicver for a moment relinquished, we
shall refuse to pay royalty to N. W’.
Green or his represeiitatives.

If 3 case goes from Michigan to the
Supreme Court of the United States it
will be defended on its merits. Nor
will it be conceded as in the last case
made up and passed upon by the court-
that ten dollzirs-is :1 reasonable royalty
on each driven well. That scheme of
approprintiiig several millions of dol-
lars has more good money in it than
Micliigmi people can accept without a
contest.

How to Harvest Corn.

It’s all well enough to be invited to
tell z'ibout-liiirvestiiig corn by the short-
cut method that we practiced success-
fully with our own crop lzist year, pro-
vided we can tell all about it to :1 few
tlioiisuiid i'eatlei's. It's not profitable
eIiiployiiieiit,:1itcI' liiiving told what
we know about the ninttcr in the Vis-
ITOR, to iiiisiver in detail letters of iii-
quiry covering the how and the why
of the biisiiicss. But then the crops
are short and 1)i‘iec.~' low and we uiust
not coiiiplziiii if i‘:iriiicrs c.-iii’t:itl'oi'd to
take :1 Fit)-eciit :igrit:Iiltiir:il paper. Those
wliodo will please tell those \vliodoii’t
that the tlire.-liiiig nizicliiiie (3\'t‘l')'\VllL‘l'L‘
in use will llllSl\',i~’llt_’.ll uiitl iiiiistieiitc
the stzilk.-',liiiskis', lc:i\'c.~‘, and cobs :i.~' fiist
as the owner and all of his iieiglibors
can get the corn SllUt'l\‘S from the field
to the table of the iiiucliiiie. Tlic only
prcpziriitioii iiecci-,'.~4:ii-y is to rcniove 21
section of the coiieavc, put it board in
its place and lower the rciiiziiniiig sec-
tion it little, just how much can be
best dcterniiiicd by rictuzil triiil. if
you have l)2ll'll room, stick the end of
the straw (3t1i'l'lCl‘ into the burn i-oi'iie-
wlicrc. If into the big doors, fix tip ii
little plaitforiii to catch the fodder it
there is space for it in the upper part
of the burn, and Iiiiicli less spzice is re-
quired for twenty acres of fodder than
one would suppose. And now comes
the only hard part. of the job-to get
the corn shocks within reach of the
feeder. There may be ii better way
but this was the plan we adopted and
it. will work better this year than his-t:
Prepare a strip of wood nine inches
long, 1} In. wide and if in. thick. Bore
ii l-inch hole near one end and saw ii.
l-inch notch at 9. holding angle iiear
the other end. Cut l-inch rope into
pieces five or six feet long, tie it knot
in one end, run the rope tlirougl: this
block binder, tiea knot in the other
end and two more knots eiglitinclies
apart. With a half bushel of these
binding ties, tlirco wagons with good
liuyiucki-I and plenty of help, and you
are rcaidy, with all other necessary
preparations made, to harvest your
corn crop in a. day. \Vitli these ties
drawn tightly around the shocks (if
not too large) two men will with
strong forks pitch the shocks to {I load-
er, who will find it. very convenient to
have an assistaiit to drive and help un-
load. The binders are Iiot removed un-
til the sliocka are on the table oftlic
Iiiucliiiie.

We paid at :1 iniichine shop 50 cents
f'oI' ii liuiiilred binding blocks, and ii.
few pouiids of l-iiicli rope cqiiiplclcd
the extra t-quipiiieiit. ll’ the corn

pzirvd in this way f(_i1'.~‘lti(?l\' ili:in wlii-Ii ‘

]Il'U\'t’.~i iliut .-‘lock eat. it better when
turn into slirt-tls than when cut in
pier-es as was soiiieliiiics pi':u-ticed.
The first objection usuzilly urged
iigniiist this short method ofli:irvi~.-tiiig
corn is—tlie coriiwill spoil. As the
actual cost ofhai-vesting 8 crop in this
manner isonly about half that of the

old method we can aflord to incur it
little trouble and expense in caring

f'or the thrashed corn. Let Iis suggest, -

if you have ii. floor that can be used,
spread out corn, say six, eight, or ten
inches deep over a part of it, then set.
several limvy blocks of 18-inch stove
wood on the floor, lay on some strong
sczintling, cover with barn boards,
shovel on as much more corn, and du-
plicate this shelving arraiigemeiit as
many times as necessary With mo-t
Michigan farmers, neither lumber nor
wood pile will be necessary this year.
One man says: “The corn is so poor this
year I cmi’t aflord to have it threshcd.”
VVe think he can’t. afford to handle ten
stalks to find an ear. The added value
of‘ the fodder will pay -for the thresh-
ing and this is the simplest and cheap-
est way to find What little corn the
drouth let grow. Last year, we un-
derstand, l1l{lIl_V farmers who had husk-
ed their corn in the usual way, run the
fodder through it threshing Iiiacliiiie to
prepare it for stock. F:iriiicra, try the
im proved method ofcorn liuskiiig once
and you will never sit down on the
chilly side of :1 corn sliock Hgfllll to
husk corn as you and your f'2itIieI'sli:ive
been doing for more ill:1ll.‘lllllll(ll‘C‘tl

You are hereby iiotitierl that the driven
wells upon your premises in 'l‘ekoiisli:i,.\licli.,
are infringements upon my patciii.-', granted
January 1:1, 1868, No. 73,425; reissued May
9, I871, ha. 4 372, and patent l.\o. 218,875,
Aiigust 26, I879.

You are request d to call on me at Tekon—
sha and procure a license for the same; if
more convenient, money may be remitted to
my address by draft. registered letter, or P. (J.
order, with description of location of wells
as to street, house, barn, yard, kitchen, field,
etc. I will accept a royalty of fare on each
1% or IV, inch hand domestic well; and I
will also accept on each 2-inch hand domes-
tic well 515. if that amount is paid in either
case in five days after this notice. After that
time the royalty is $20 and 325 respectively,
without discount. Larger wells in propor-
tion. On single wells operated by machinery
and used for manufacturing orother valuable
purposes, the royalty is not less than $125.
Gangs of wells will be rated according to
value, after investigation.

All wells made airtight by attaching a
pump to the lining of the well are infringe-
ments. N. W. GREEN,

On the back of this modest demand
of "Itufus Osborn, Collector,” Nelson

NOTICE.

The long continued litigation as to my
Driven Well l’alent—i{eissue No. 4,372, dat-
ed May 9, i87i,—wasdecided by the Supreme
Court of the United States, on May 23, I887,
in two cases, sustaining the patent in full and
overruling all objections urged against its
validity (see Oflieial (iazeiie, vol. 39, pp‘.
I3i9 and I326, of june I4, 1887.) i think
all must now agree with me that my patent
is v.Iliil beyond any question whatever.

lliereliy call upon all u.-ers and ll1.‘ll-t€l"S of
l)ri-.'eii Wells constructed prior to January,
14, 1885, to render an accouiit to me, stating
the iiuinlier of such wells and where siinatrtl
and \\llt;‘lllCl' Iipeirtterl liy piiuer or liy hand.

It it ill be for the llllt‘l’t'\l of the Iiseis ofiny
Wells to attend to this Cll'Clll."ll’ prouipily. as
they uill iliereliy avoid toe expense and an-

: Iioyaiice of litigiitioii, and, as will be clear

uiiliout £‘lTj_‘_illl1t,'lll, they can settle more fa.
\’(}l‘llily lief-irc suit lllilll zifteiwvziitls.

ll-tiretofore the ciiciilars l\‘~'iiC(l relating to
my llriveii \\'ell l’.ilent have been based up-
on (lL’ClSlt)llS of the Circuit Courts, and this
is the first circular l have issued based en-
tirely upon the final decisions of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, which is
the Court of last resort in this country.

lt is therefore my intention to give full and
timely information to the public, that makers
and users of wells may have a complete un-

lderstanding of the questions involved and
l have ample opportunity to pay without in-
‘. volving themselvesin unneces-ary expensive
liiigat.on. Iufringers need not expect further
notice. Respectlully. NELSON W. GREEN,

And finding out the delinquency take
such action at once as will add to our
list of subscribers and restore this
broken rehitioii between Patrons and
the source of iiiforinntion on which
they should rely. In short, we want.
Patrons to get dollars’ worth of good

going to do about it?

A C0.\1l‘l.AlNT against Tllolllas Mason,
of Chicago, was elltertzllned by the
Wcsterli Pomona Grange alld the ac-
tion taken tliereoll submitted by re-
quest of said Grange to the Executive
Committee of the State Grallge at its
late meeting at Lansillzr. After full
consideration of tlle matter the Com-
mittee decided that no action on its
part was necessary or proper—that it
had been definitely annouilced tllat Mr.
Mason had not been an agent of the
State Grange of)/Iichigan sillce Decem-
ber, 1886, and that the paper sublnit-
ted taken in connection with repre-
uiitations made by a member of the
Committee to Whom the charges had
been submitted and who had been in
correspondence with the parties to the
controversy did notjustify farther ac-
tion on the part ofthc Coulmittec, alld
the whole subject was therefore dis-
missed.

haps a parti-ll reviclv of their meth-
ods iiiay be of interest to sonic.

At the head of the ()l‘$_f:ll1lZllllOl1 is
the \Vholesalc Society. This enlbl'acc~'
a federation of 790 retail stores and
did a tradillg business of $2-">.oo0,0oo
during the past year. "l.‘he Wholesale

they need; it is also eligaged .ill 00

oods needed for the retail trade.

The \Vllolesale is controlled by ll
Central Board selected by representa-
tives frolli the several societies. The
profits, after paying expenses alld in-
terest on the stock, are divided aniong
the purchasers of the goods :lt'.COl'tlllIg'

to the cost of ill:llnlf.-lcturc they add
the cost of dislributioll. not attempt-
ing to ll1l(lPl‘.~‘t*ll other llealelns, and di-
vide the profits entirely among the

ul'l-li:lscl-s. This nu-lllod of dislrilillt-
mg profits is calling fortll coil.-;idel'.-lbll-
disclissioll.

ent lab r is entirely (lt‘l)t,‘ll(ll?llt upon
the t'rlllt of past labor .-l.~lrl:ll, that is.
capital, all the products of labor, after
paying the laborer a fair price f'orsilll-
sistence, belong to capital. This is the

inciplc applied by the \Vlloh-sale
Eicioty in disposing of the goods
manufactured on their own account.
They receive these goods just as they
receive ready made goods from other
dealers, then add a price for retailillg
and return the dill’:-l-cllee between this
priceand the actual cost to the pllr-
chasers as dividends on their pur-
chases. They claim that as goods pur-
chased become their property so the
goods lnailllflctured by them become
theirs when they have paid for the ma-
terials and the cost of lli:lllul:lctul'illg,
and they are entitled to all the profits
to be got from their sale.

The other school say that this is the
mnciple ot the ordinary elnployer.

rewards labor as a conilliodity to be
bargained for at the market price, alld
when this price is paid the product is
his. The second school claims that as
society progressed capital alld labor be-
came SCp.‘ll'2|lCd into distillct classes,
but this is contrary to ilatnl-e’s plan.
which is that the means for workillg
should be open to all \V ho can contrib-
ute the capacity to work, and that the
product belongs to the worker. To
them the problem of productive co-
ration is, how to follow the natur-
plan alld secure to the worker the
full benetlt. of his work, alld preserve
the harmony with capital, and permit
the accullllllotioli of wealth. This
method seems to approach nluch near-
er true co-operation than the other,
and it is likely that ii change will soon
take place ill their manner of distribut-

rofits.

in%i}')om their report I find that their
distributive stores have lJt'CIl very suc-
cessful, while tlleirco-opera! ive manu-
fwtures have almost all proved tail-
nres. The problem of co-operative
production is a lunch more tlifliclllt
one than co-operative distrihlltion.

"Prohibition in Atlanta."

The following article trolii the At-
lllntzl. Constitution will be read with
great interest. lt covers the field well
alld is as cindid as it is complete. At-
lallta adopted prohibition under the
local option law. The Constitution is
edited by Mr. Grady, who has collie
into national falne by his speech on
the New South at the New England
dinner in New York last spring. The
Constitution says:

The election at which prohibition was put
on trial in this city is entitled to :1 place
among great events. No election of a local
nature was ever before held in acityof 60,000
people in which more was involved. The
changes proposed by it were so radical as to
be almost revolulionary. Over 100 business
houses were to be closed. Nearly 500 men
were to be forced to give up a. chosen em-
ployment. The city treasury was to be left
with $40,000 less revenue Trade amounting
annually to millions was to be turned away
from the city. Many large business houses
were to be left unrcntcd. Of course, a move-
ment proposing changes so radical met with
the niost spirited and determined opposition.
Many of our best citizens regarded it with
outspoken disfavor.

ll. was said that prohibition in :1 city so
large as this was inlpracticalile, that it would
not prohil)it,t|iat the ll’3.(lt: would be injured,
that times would be increased, that the S1-.ii‘t*~
.n which the liquor l)llSlll(f>> was carried on
would not be rented for other pllrposcs. that
the >al1I\3 rllnollllt of whisky \\ olild be drzilik
with the law as without it. that the city
would only nii.~s the rcvc'liue, and that ii

well as it -was against the liquor trade. In
collsillcration of the small liiajority with
which proliibition was czlriicd and the large
number of people who were opposed to see-
ing it prohibit, the law has been marvelously
well oli.~erved.

Hot 5 iii which the liquor trade was con-
ducud are not vacalit, but are now occupied
by olher lilies of trade. Accurdilig to the
real eszrlte men, more laborers and men of
limited means are buying lots than ever be-
fore. Rents are more promptly paid than
formerly .\lore houses are rented by the
sfilllc number of falnilics than heretofore.
licforc prohibition, somctinies as many as
three families would live ill one house. l‘h::
heads of those families, now mt spending
their money for drink, are each able to rent
cl house, lhus using three instead of one.
Norkiugmen, who formerly spenta great part
oftlleir money for liquor, now spend it in fo- d
alld clothes for their families. The relail
grocery men sell more goods, and collect
their bills better than ever before. Thus
they are able I0 settle more promptlywith
the wholesale men.

A perceptible increase has been noticed in
the number of people who ride on the street
cars. According to the coal dealers many
people bought coal and stored it away last
winter who had never been known to .10 so
before. Ulhcrs V‘ ho had been accustolncd to
liuy-ng two or three tons on time, this win-
ter bought seven or eight and paid cash for it.
A leading ploprietor of n. millinery store said
lh-at he had sold more hats and bonnets to
laboring men tor their wives and daughters
than before in the history of his business.
Contractors say their men do better work and
on Saturday evenings when they receive their

   

. w-eclfls wages, spend the same for flaur,hams,

d.y goods, or other necessary things for their
fdllllllei Thus lhey are in better spirits,
have more hope, and are not inclined to
strike and growl about higher wages.

Attendance upon the public schools has
increased. The Snpnintendelit of Public In-
s ruction said in his report to the Board of
Education, made Jan. i, 1887:

"During the past year it has become a sub-
ject M remark by teachers in the schools and
by visitors that the children were more tidy,
were better dressed, were better shod, alld
pre:e ltcd a neater appcaraiice than ever be-
fore. Les.» trouble has been experienced in
having parents purchare books required by
the rules. fewer children have been with-
(l1’IU\ll iuaid in supporting the fcuilily, the
higher classes ill the granillizlr schools have
been fuller, and liiurc cllilllreil have been
pronlolud lo the high .\L’ll'.Ul, bolli ni.i.‘e and
fl.-lll;ll-:, llian ever lit for: in the history of the
-cl'lllol.s. All the-c ill llL.‘2'l.lli)lls point ti tlic
|lll.I't::l»L‘Il prosp-:rity of llic clty and to the
gnllllllg il.l::l..-l ill llic cause of education on
the part of Illr }Ie‘llllt‘.”

Tm re lilis been 51 marked increase in at-
lcilllalice upon the bunday schools of the
cill. This is e~pe.:iully llUllCt‘&ll)l€ alll(Jl);,'_'
llle suliurllall churches. Many children have
started to the 5lllI(lCly-sCl’l1)Ul5, who were not
able to attend for want of proper clothing.
Attendance upon the different Churches is far
better. From 1,500 to 2,000 have joined the
various churches of the city during the year.

The dctermiliziliun on the part of the peo-
ple to prohibit the liquor tratiil: has stimu-

latel it disposition to do away with other
evil-'. The l:1\\'S1‘lg.‘lll'i>l Qanibling are Yi":‘lily
enhirced. A clillsiderrlblc stock of gain-
bles’ tools gathered together by the police
for >,t:V€l"l1l years llhl, was recently used for
ih: purpose of making zi large bonfire on one
of the ulioccupiell squares of the city. The
City Council has refused longer to grant li

cense to bucket shops, thus putting the seal
0" it~ condemnation upon the trade ili futures
Of.lll kinds.

All these reforms have had a decided
tzndency to diniinish crime. Two weeks
were necessary formerly to get through with
the criminal docket. During the present
year it was closed out in two days. The
chain-gang is almost left with nothing but
the chains and the balls. The gang part
would not be large enough to work the pub-
lic roads of the country were it not liuglnenfed
by fresh supplies from the surrounding coun
ties Tile city governlnentis in the hands of
our best citizens.

Tle mzijori y in this county in favor of
prohibition was only two hundred and thir-
ty five. Such :i change has taken place in
public sentiment, however, that now there is
hardly a. respectable anti prohibitioniét in
the city who favors a. return to bar rooms.
There are some who would prefer high li
celise, or its sale by the gallon, but it is a re-
uiarkalile fact that there is no disposition to
ll-ave the saloon opened again. The bar

when I Mean to Marry.
BY J. G. SAXE

When do I mean to marry? Well,
‘Tia idle to dispute with fate;

But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen while I fix the date.

When maidens look upon a man
As in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers scan
A sutler or a commissary;

When gentle ladies, who have got
The odor of a lover's hand,

Consent to share his earthly lot,
And do not mean his lot of land;

When young mechanics are allowed
To find and wed the farmer’s girls

Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls;

When wives, in short shall freely give

Their hearts and hands to aid their spouses,
And live as they were wont to live

Within their sire’s one-story houses;

Then, madam-—if I'm not too old—
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold,

And look about me for a wife!

Field Notes.
"Ere, in the northern gale,
The summer tresses of the trees are gone,
The woods of Autumn, all around our valc,
Have put their glory on."

These are the days when, quite to
our own liking, Maurice TllU'iIlps0li
assures us that "one feels a little too
vigorous to be sentiincntal, too i‘cstlcs~'
to stay indoors, and yet too lazy to
work.”

I have heard of a man who its-'crted
he knew people who were :llWtl_\'.-4 tiiid-
ing fault with Nature for putting
thorns on roses, while he always
thanked her for having put roses on
thorns. I myself have met those in
whom nothing but sad siiggcstioiis
and thoughts of death were aroused
by the falling of the leaves, however
brilliant might be their dying splen-
dor, but to me there is a fitness and a
beautiful symbol in the iiiimctilous
changes of autumn. I have always
rejoiced that “the year smiles as it
draws near its death.” A maplc,
Ihapely, sightly, graceful in its suin-
mer green, grows radiant with sun-
Ihiny beauty as the time ofsnow comes
on, and are there not characters that
thus approach “the last bitter hour?”
The touch of frost is not the touch of
blight, but of blessing, to them. Soft-
cned, sweetened, subdued  the day.-
draw nigh when they shall say, -'1
have no pleasure in them,” their lives
are iiiaiiil'cst2it.ioiis of the soul’s :iuttiin-
ml splendor ere it puts on the eternal.

The sun’.~i “quiet suiile” is just now
“the sweetest of the year.” \Valk gon-
tly, lest you intrude your presciicc too
much on the scene, in the thick woods
and observe the contrasts. The dc-
licious silence that accoinpaiiics the
ripeness, the complete maturity of a
typical October afternoon,-——a stilliie.-as
made noticeable by the rattling and
thud of a few falling acorns or tlu:
chatter and scudding ofa chipmunk
along the tree braiichcs,—such quiet as
one finds here seems strangely out of
harmony with the gala dress of one’.-
surroundings. The dye pots of the
color genius have been drained earlier
than usual this season and in some re-
Ipects the “painted leaves” are seldom
more brilliant; however, the uncliaiig-
able greens still maintain 9. withered
look in consequence of the late scourge
of hot weather.

An hour spent in such a spot not
lany days since was full of sight
leeing. Whole expositions of richly
hued fabrics hung in finest display in
windows framed by stalwart trunks of
great oaks, the shaggy stems of hicko-
ries, the rustic vines of the wild grape
and the sassafras’ crooked limbs.
Aslant, through the upper canopy of
Itaider leaves the sun shot its amber
ruys upon the gorgeous show below.

Sassafras, hickory and grapevine
hold forth in pale yellow with now
and then a flush of color on the sassa-
Iras dresses. The foliage ofthese kinds
looks for the most part as if the sum-
mer had spent their strength and they
rte needing the long rest that awaits
Item. But what they lack in vitality
and vivacity of color the boxwood,
maple and ivy supply, and, if there is
dill want of audacity of hue in them.
Iiesuiuachs have it. Indeed the su-
naclis challenge the world, I believe,
hr daring in high lights and startling
dfects. They stand like phaliinxes of
bloody braves along the roadsides,
their pointed bayoriets dipped in gore,
flair laces ablaze with the fire of fu-
ious fighting. What peaceful tri-
umphs are theirs, despite their threat-
aing aspects I

But for real depth and soundness of
maracter, go to the oak, thou nioralist,
and be sufliced. Their purple and
gold, emerald and bronze, their ochres
and timbers, are the stetidiest, most
llibstaiitial, most royal ofall.

We plunge dccper in the wood,-to
the“plashy brink of a wccdy lake.”
Here we find the dricd l‘t'lIl€llllS of ll
June fcrncry, !4€1‘lll'(‘ .<(illlL’ root .<ct-tioiis
for winter indoor ciill.iii'c. We slizill

shall cxpi.-ct of thcui lll1‘.(ll*lll'3ll(* iiiys.
tcry of iinrolliiig froiiils and dainty

fern fiiigi-rs. Tl|f‘.’~'0 arc plants any
body [nay have who has acccss to the
woods once a year, and few of us have
not; yet they are oftcncst seen in choice
care in cities. One day last spring in
file parlor-like office of an elegant li-
brary building 1 saw only one orna-
mental plant, and that, a common
wood fern, its roots enveloped in an

open wire basket, lined with thick
moss and its delicate leaves stretched
across the space of an open window;
btit this onc,——pcrhaps because it was
but one, pct-lnips because it was what
it was,—sceiiicd in exact keeping with
the luxurious furnishings of the room
and added its grace to their elegance.
If I lived in tl. house so cold ordinary
house plants would not live without
freezing l‘d grow ferns and if I lived
in a mansion with a conservatory then
l’d surely grow ferns.

Along the marsh’s edge we found
many flowers. There was the aster (a
star),-—purple ones in hugh bunches
and tiny white ones piled up like so
many snowflakes alight on a bush.
There was the yellow coropsis. or tick-
seod, one of the neatest, suimiest faces
that dot a marsh mcadow.'I‘his is a near
relative of the rich brown-purple
flower of old fashioned gardens, and all
the better for that. The coreopsi.-,
with the asters, belong to the Compos-
ite family, although seeing it at a dis-
tance you would easily mistake it for
a giant buttei'cup. The dificrcnce is
quickly seen when examined close at
hand.

Speaking of the Composite family
again, they are thickly settled all
among us. There are the Golden Roz 3,
for (-xaiiiple, who are Composite.-,
quite aristocratic Composites, for wilil
ones, tlie_v are, too. They trace their
name back to the old Latin word. So-
lidago, meaning, to iirikc wholc, troni
siipposcd healing qiialities. They havc
~'0lIlC superb iiii>iiibci'.~: and a (:il0l(lt’ll
Rod with a tine, I-irgc. pliiiiiy head is
fit for any garden. I have seen such a
plant, tall, stately. its oiie-si(lcd ra-
cciiics drooping with loads ot_»~_\'clluw
gold, light up its corner of a garden
like a siiiisliiiie torch, if you can fancy
such 9. thing.

Close beside the Golden Rod iii the
wood grew another composite, also
ll.<C(l in the practice of nicdicine. So
abiding arc the laws of associatioii that
no true Wolverine, loyal to his Michi-
g:m’s marslies and ugucs,. ever see.’-
Boneset without an involuntary shud-
der. But the days of chills and fevers
in this State are passing by and al-
ready a new and happier use lnis been
found for the “weed.” A Wedding
arch covered with cvcrgrcviis and
Boueset with occasional clusters of
roses (papcr) Was the prettiest and
most proniinent decoration at a church
wedding that lately took place near
here. No hint of the bitterness of thi-
blossom is translated with it to such
scenes.

I am tempted to digress at this point
and toll you how at this wedding a la-
dy was heard to observe, "My! how
they must have scoured the s\v2Inip»—
to get so inauy roses 1'’ The roses weri
double pink and white OllP.<.-lllllllllzll‘,
was she not, with marsh botany? It
is, however, about as much observation
and reasoii as most of us put into many
other affairs than swamp roses.

Another pretty wild tlowcr,—tlii-:
while the subject is up,—-is also excel.
lent for decorative purposes and, more-
over, it is a Boiiesct, too. It  tlll‘
White Snake Itoot of the wo0ds,aud is

and has no early and bitter aHSOCl{lllOllF.
It should be found in cultivated gar-
dens it it will grow there, which I am
inclined to doubt. In general, with
the exception of the color, it closely
rcsciiiblcs the aztii'c-bliic Agiirutuiii.
cultivated to so much delight and ad-
vantage.

In our marsh bouquet we included a
f'ew stalks of pale yellow flowers, in it
close spike, which proved to be Loose-
wort, not pleasantly suggestive in
name but a good represciitative of the
Figwort family, mentioned in my for-
mer notcs. It is to this large family
that the Siiapdragon, asked after by
Aunt Kate, belongs. The Snapdragon,
or Alitll'l'llll'ul1l, is so called ironi the
Greek, comparing the flowcr to the
snout or muzzle of an ziniin ll. Clie-
loiic, also named from the Greek be-
cause it resembles a turtle head (it.-
coninion name) is easily found in wet
places. This, also, with many other.-
of our familiar flowers, both wild and
cultivated, is found in the l<‘ii,_:wi:ii-t
group. Besides their two lipped and
more or less irregular corollas, most of
the blossoms are characterized by four
didynamous stamens, that is, 10111‘ sta-
mens in two pairs, one pair shorter
than the other. J. B.

Where Shall the Shortaire be?

That retrenchment must be the or-
der of the fall and winter expenses
was a foregone conclusion when the
corn an to be cut up weeks and
months fore its time and the pastures
and gardens shriveled up and refused
their usual increase. If there is armp-
pointed time for all things, now is the
hour for contriving,—contriving, not
so much what can best be done with-
out things that must be purchased,
as what it is best to dowitli. In other
words, to weigh well what will pay
best in the end.

The contriving it was my design to

no less than do his bread and meat,-
rather, much more.

When the few '

age of crops are past, when collars and
bins and cribs are once more full,
when the four years worn cloak is for-
gotten in the new one, a scrimpiiig
season will have left other traces than
these and that can not be so readily
eflaced.

There will be boys and girls kept
out of the high schools this fall because
of the shortage of funds. For a like
reason papers, like the N. Y. Tribune,
Western Rural, American Agricul-
turalist and (GRANGE VISITOR) and the
magazines, Harper’s, Century, Forum,
St. Nicholas, Wide Awake and so
forth, will have a falling off’ in sub-
scribers. Tlicre will be a. less number
of books bought, reading circles will
be smaller because more people than
ever will think the expense greater
than they can bear. Are there not
questions here of iiiomeiit,-—-queries,
worthy of grave consideration, when
we know that, minus the helpful. is
equivalent to plus the harnifnl? lVill
not better the economy brake be ap-
plied to some other part of the home
inacliinery than any that may pos ibly
promote the harmful?

Let us suppose there are in nearly
every neighborhood boys and girls,
and young men and ladies, who wotild
have gone to school or college this fall
had the crops “turned out well” but
who are now i'c-sigiied to wait another
year for the rcalizatioii of clicrislicd
fordrczinis. Their plans had bccii made
school; now they arc, in :1 sense, adrift,
:i.<idc from the regular work that
keeps only their huiids busy. Tlic old
saw, linking idle hands with mischief.
will adapt. its truth as well if you
read “liczids” in place of “li~.iii(l:s."

For example, the ‘~’sliow” seasoii with
us opened a few nights ago with a
popular play that is drawing its
crowded houses in the villages llCl'(‘
abouts. Tickets for reserved scats sell
at thirty-fivc cciits. It proves to be
far from first class. Now suppose the
boy who is staying at home from school
i‘ »r his father’s want. of nieaiis was al-
lowed to attend that play in :1 siiiall
way of recompense for his disappoint-
ment. Other shows and exliibitioiis
will be coming (with hard times to
decrease their merit and increase their
shrewd allureinciits)—later on, club
dances, progressive eiichrc parties and
card cotnpanies will be formed for the
winler aiiiusemcnfs.

The question in my mind is, will
these tliiugs, one after another, he pat-
ronized as a. rccoiiipcnsc for the cost
and to consume the time, that, with
rcadier means, would have gone to
iiirigaziiies, books or a C. L. S. C. out-
fit? Vfhcii next spring comes which
would have cost the most, in cash and
time, the thing itself or lll3.l(C-l)elleV('
iccoiiipeiisc? The price of one ticket
to hear one poor company play (for
wliatcvcr we may think of theatrical:-'
on general principles, it is still trin-
that nine times out of ten small towns
get only an inferior quality) would
buy a cheap edition of any one of scores
of the best works of litcr.-iture, for in
that field the highest grade of talent
is yours for a more song. In the unit-
tcr of books the country is on a par
with the city, that in other respects
affords so many greater helps and
privileges to its rcsitlciits.

These are only a. few random
tlioiiglit<—scc<ls I would scatter for
you to grow. Ifit is not unwise to citr-
t:iil one line and, in the long run, find
you have added the cut-ofl‘ to an op-
posiiig line,-—if it is not best to use
discrieily a moderate sum of money
for books and papers and first class
lecturers and musicians, and, by our
own ingenuity and enterprise, supply
the stimulus of excitement and enthu-
N‘l.‘lSl’ll in debating clubs, societies and
reading circles that outside travelling
troupes, indifl'crcut to our best iiitcr-
csts, will give us only for 3. money
stipcnd,——these are points. J. B.

Open to Remarks.

“Home is wonian’s climate; its at-
mosphere surrounds her as the air sur-
rounds the cartli; its mirror is her
face; its music is her voice; its longi-
tude can be reckoned from where you
chance to find her.

The world is slowly making the im-
mense discovery that not. what woman
does but what she is, makes possible
the individual home, and later on will
make of ours a home-like world.”

Mrs. Craik thinks that women have
only themselves to blame for some of
the faults of men. Their viciousness
and coarseness she thinks is largely
owing to the fact that women are too
cowardly to exact from men the same
standard of virtue that is exacted of
women. Then, too are egotistic
and selfish because’ on makes so
much of them, and give up to them so
much. This she regards as a mistaken
course, and thinks that women can be
affectioiiate and obedient without be-
iiig subservient.

T. W. Iligginson says: “No wo-
iiiaii’s cause ever has a trial by a jury
of her peers. She may not even have
half thcjury coinpodcd of such as her-
self’, though this privilege is given to
Ioi'i.-igiieis uiidcr Eiiglisli laws. Tilt‘
\vrongs ol the outriigod wife or be-
reaved iiiotlier can only be redeemed
by a iinisi-iiliiic tribunal.

Mothers-In-—Iaw. 

It has long been the fashion to speak '.
and write of tlic“mother-in-law” with 
a shrug of the shoulders and :t sneer,
some English writers cvcu going so
far as to put it in the category of dis-
advantages to be coiisidcred by a man
contemplatingiiiatriinoiiy. Wliatevcr
may be the case tlicrc, it scents to nip,
particularly in the rural districts and
among farmers. where good lioiii-icliold
help is so scarce, that putting aside all
idea of affectioii and filial duty, them
is no more desirable state of‘ sifl'airs
than when one of the married sous or
daughters resides in the old homestead,
if practicable, and continues the house-
hold and home. In this case, if the
mothcr— in-law is in coiiiiiion good
health and has learned with her own
children the lesson ofpatieiicc and for-
bearance, there can be no hired help
so efiicieiit and ititcrcstcd as she is; and
if children come, who will love and
cherish them better, orsupplcmeiit the
often burdened and busy parent incar-
ing for them? And in necessary ab-
scncc, no one else can or will be so
careful of them and of the affairs of
home.

For the father-in-law and mother-
iii-law it is qiiitt::1S(lcsit‘ablc a condi-
tion, for if llonry \Vard Bccclicr was
correct when lic said (and he siircly
was) that cliildrcuaro 21 means of'gi':icc.
then the love and carcof the little mics
and their engaging pratt lo will tend to
do away with that t~‘L‘lll.~llllli".‘l.~i and nar-
iiowniindedncss so oftcn .~.:t:cti in old poi -
plc; who have only their own inter-
ests and own solve.-' to look to, and
they live over again thcit' yoiiiigt-i‘
dziys iii t.liedcvcio_piiig and giiidziiicc of
these young iiiiiiiortiils. Tlicy will not
grow :l}):llll(‘.ilt: or cold, nor losc their
hold on and ititcrcst in the passiiig
cvcnts of the day.

As to tlicrc being, as some hold, a
iiat.tii'al aiitipatliy bctwccii the iiiotlier
and her soii’s wife, it docs not seem as
if the fact of both loving one, but
with so diflcreiit. a kind of love, should
bring about such aC0l'(lltlOll. At any
ratc,I know the two can live together
in peace and be iiiiitiitilly helpful to
each other, for in :1. fuiiiily with whom
I am intimately acqiiaiiitcd two moth-
ers and daugliters-in-law have lived so
for over forty years. To illustrate: The
liiisbaud’s mother in the first case Was
a thoroughly capable Yankee house-
wife, able to make cverytliing neces-
sary for, and do all the work needed
in the clothing and feeding of her
faniily. She was a close comniutiioii
Baptist and had, by the death of her
husband, been for many years the head
oftlic house. The soii’s wife was of
foreign birth, fresh from her books and
boardiiig school, with but very vague
ideas of Yankee hou.~'ckccpiiig,:iiid of a
ilifl'crciit Church. In a short time at‘-
tcr their niarriiigc tlic niothcr came to
live pcriiitiiieiitly with them. More
than thirty years, indeed, until ll(‘l'
dcatli, it was her home, and though
there were many dilfcrcticcs of taste
and opinion, they llt‘\'el'1]ll£1l‘l'ClC(l,bill’
were at niutinil help and coiiifort, and
her memory is tenderly cherished.

In due course of time, one of thc
gmiiidsoiis, whom this motlicr-in-law
11-idhclpcd to rear, iiiarricd also a for-
eigiior, and the second mother and
diughtcr-iii-law began again to try
"co-opci'ative liotisekocpiiig,” in tho
saiiie place and :u'c still trying it with
good siivcoss and expect to continue it
till the end of life for at least. one of
them, their motto being,“Forbeai'a.ncc
and Patieiice.” M as. JAMES BRYANT.

~— -A
Woman's Economy.

I am sure the average man will pre-
fer to recognize in woiiian a mind that
can compreliend the things of which
he is llltlbt(:I', one who can discuss with
some appreciation things which ititc-
rest liini, and who has acquired an en-
larged capacity for making life and its
surroundings more bright and beauti-
ful, ratlicr than see her life go on like
a fettcrcd stream, turning and ever
tiiriiiug the millwhecl of simple la-
boriotis duty, and then flow on into
darkness with no flowers or waving
grasses upon the restraining banks of
her enforced destiny to cast reflections
of briglitness and beauty into the clear
depths of her being. -

And if (as has been declared) the
germ of a nation’s prosperity lies with-
in its homes, the reigning genius there
mtist be diligent in storing her mind
with such things as shall best enable
her to command the greatest respect
and confidence of the little ones whose
feet now patter so trustingly by her
side. She needs to hold them very
strongly that she may be enabled to
guide their natures aright and nurture
and develop the powers of good that
in them lie. So much of her work is
corrective. ‘Influences outside her
home so continually draw the children
away from her teaching that she needs
all possible strength and whdorn.
The hours and weeks so swiftly come
and go, and the years seem to our age-
ing-fancy to press each other on with
ever increasing speed. \Ve plead f‘or
time, but in vain, hence to economize
and rightly utilize our allotment
slioiild engage our best effort.

“All things by reason. seasoned are
To theirjust praise, and true perfection.”

Thus may duties all, by forethought wisely
planned,

That each within its proper time and limit
come,

By love well seasoned and with patience
wrought,

Be brought, at last, within command.

REMEMBER the National Grange will

of Lansing in November next. Begin
making calculations to attend if but

Department National
Grange.

At different periods in the world’s
liistoi-y, taking various forms and a
variety of nanics, but always with the
smite object in view, men and organi-
zations have advocated and contended
f'or a division of wealth, of property.
At one time known as Agrarians, and
in these later days as Socialists and
Coiiimiiiiists. The Grange has ever
iuitagoiiized and set its face_squarely
against any such doctrines, its mem-
bers believing that progress can only
be made by building up and not by
tearing down. in its “Declaration _of
Purposes,” in all the many years of lti
existence, it has ever said, “In our no-
ble Order there is no communism, no
agrariaiiism.” The latest Communist
is Mr. Henry George, and the latest
coiiiinunism is his land theory. He
advocates, and his thousands of follow-
ers advocate, that private ownership
in land shall be abolished, that it shall
be common property, belong in com-
mon to the Government (the people).
That he has followers is proven by the
6-‘5,UUO votes he received for mayor of
the city of New York last Fall, and
lie is now at the head of a. State ticket
with papers, iiioiicy, preacliers and a
party, advocating his coiiiniuuism, for
it is cominiinism as far as land is con-
cerned. A full Coiiimuiiist would
abolish piivaie ownership in all pi'op—
crty. llc applic.-i it, at present, to
land only, and tlicrcforc it is it direct
blow at t':ii'iiicrs, and leaves fariiicrs al-
most alone to iiicct this old enemy in a
new form, and do battle until he is
again overthrown.

A long ill‘_‘__’lllIl(‘lll, showing the [111-
t'ziii'iic:<.s, the robbery, the piracy advo-
cated by this new apostle of the Com-
niunc is iiiipossiblc in a brief space.
But that fai'iiii-rs may know just what
is being said, may look upon the poi-
son pure and simple, and so come to
recognizc and know their latest enemy,
fl. fcw extracts from the writings of
llciiry George will be given, and so
out of his own nioutli we will con-
dcniii the wrong. And certainly it is
no niisrcprcsciitatiou if his own words
are used:

“l’rivatc property in liind is doom-
ed.” “We must therefore substitute
for individual owiiersliip of land a
common owiicrsliip. VVe must make
laud coinmou property.”

“There is no escape from it. We
must make land common property.”

Lectu rer's

In another of his writings Henry"

George says—“In the very nature of
tliiiigs. land cannot riglitfully bc-made
individual property. This principle
is absolute.”  3;,

“l’ropcrty in land is as indefensible
as property in inaii,” and “the robber
that takes all that is left is private
property in laiid.” "If chattel slavery
be unjust tlicii is property in land un-
jiist.” In his “Lanil Qiicstioii,” he says
—“Hci'e is a systciii wliicli rubs the
producers of wealth as rcmorsclcssly
and far more regulrrly and sys:iemr.t-
ically than the pirate robs the incr-
cliantmeu.

“Land on which and from which all
inust live. The recognition of the
private individual pi'oprietoi'siiips of
land is the denial of the natural right:
of other individuals. For as labor
cannot produce without the use of
land, the denial of the equal rights to
the usc. of land is iie(:css:it'ily the do-
nial of the right of labor to its pro-
duce.”

Mr. George’s plan for getting the
land away from the pimple and mak-
ing it common property is thatall pro-
perty, except land, shall be cxcinpt
from taxation, and the taxes will then
be so great that f‘:iriiici's and landown-
ers will gladly give up their private
ownership rather than pay all the tax-
es. In “Social Problems” he says:
“Were land treated as the property of
the whole people the ground rent ac-
cruing to the community would suffico
for public purposes and all other tax-
ation might be dispciiscd with.” Again
he says: “I do not propose either to
purchase or to confiscate private pro-
perty in land. The first would be im-
just; the second needless. We may
safely leave them the shell if we take
the kernel. It is not necesmry to con-
fiscate land; it is only necessary to con-
flscate rent. We already take some
rent in taxation. We have only to
make some ('.l'tMl2‘P§ in modes of taxa-
tion to take it all.”

“To extirpate poverty we must
therefore substitute for individual
ownership of land a common owne-
ship.”

It is Absurd

For people to expect a cure for Indiges-
tion, unless they refrain from eating
what is nnwholesome; but it anything
will sharpen the appetite and give tone
to the‘ digestive organs, it is Ayer’! $.3-
Iapnrlllo. Thousands all over the land
testify to the merits of this medicine.

Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth
street, South Boston, writes: “ My hus-
band has taken Aye:-'8 Sarsaparilla, for
Dyspepsia. and torpld liver, and has
been greatly benefited."

A Confirmed Dyspeptic.

0. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin st.,
Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering
for years from Indigestion, he was at
last induced to try Ayer’s Barsaparilla
and, by its use, was entirely cured.

Mrs. Joseph Aubin. of High street,
Holyoke, Mass, sufiered for over a. year
from Dyspepsia, so that she could not
eat substantial food, became very weak,
and was unable to care for her family.
Neither the medicines prescribed by
physicians, nor any of the remedies
advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia,
helped her, until she commenced the
use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. "Three
bottles of this medicine," she writes,
“ cured me.”

Who First Peopled America?

This continent was probably first
peopled from Asia, the birthplace of
man. Injustwliat way it happened is
uncertain. Chinese vessels cortstiiig
along the shore as was the custom
among the early voyagers tiny have
been driven across the Pacific Ocean
by a storm, or parties waiidering
across Behring Straits in search of ad-
venture foniid this a pleasaiit. land and
determined to make it their home.
American antiquities in many parts
of North America are found to con-
tain the remains of a prehistoric peo-
ple. In the Mississippi Valley, from
the great lakes to the Gulf, there ex-
tends it line ot defensive earthworks;
the largest forest trees are found grow-
ing upon these rainparts. The liuli:in.~
have no traditions as to the origin ot
these strange structui-es._ Opposin-
Newark, 0., is one of these strange
mounds, or monuments. that covers
nearly two square miles. It is ironi
two to twenty feet in height. in the
park in the city of KlII:ilII:iZl)0, in our
owii State, is one of these straiigv
mounds, and as I have looked at it
I have wondered m.iny times wliose
hands formed it. There isalsoa strange
structure in Adains County, 0., timi
represents very at-ciirnzeiy a -erpeiii
1,000 feet long. its body winds in
gl'zlC0llll cu l'\’0~:lllll in its wide extend-

built iiotonly mounds, but teiiiplc.-.
aqncducts, and line paved 1'o.1d.=. An-
other str.-iiige kind of cartliwork i-
found opposite St. Louis, Mo. it cover.-
eiglit square miles and looks like an
altar or some religious structure. The
Indians were the successors of the
mound builders but were far their in-
teriors iii civilization. It is not known
why the ancient race left or lroin
whence the Indian came. it is sup-
posed the tierce savage tribes from the
north drove the former tribes south-
ward.

The Indian has well been termed
“the red man ot the forest.” lle built
no churches, or cities,orschool-houses.
His house was a bark Wigwam. Neither
did he build any roads, but followed
trails or footpaths through the VVOULIH
and paddled his birch bzirk canoe or
swam the rivers and streams as his fan-
cy led him. lle had no cow or beast
of burden. lie thought all labor de-
grading and lit only for women. iii.-
squaw built his wigw.-ini,cut his wood
and carried his loads when they jour-
neyed. \Vhile he hunted or lI.'5ll('tl slu-
cleared the ground for his corn by
burning down the trees and .~er:itt-liing
the ground with a crooked stick or
digging it up with a clam shell. She
coolsed their food by dropping hot
stones into a tight willow basket con-
taining the niaterizil for soup. Ilia
leaviiigs were sutticient (or thought to
be) for her, and the coldest place in
the wigvnm was her seat. The (1 lg
often had the warmer place and sh»-
could move to make him more comfort-
able. If the Indian had any idea of a
Supreme Being it was vague and dc-
gradiiig. Ilcaven was to him a happy
huiuing ground or a gay feast wln-rr
his dotr should join in the dain-,c. ll.-
Worsiiippcd no idol but peopled '!II n -
turc with spirits, which dwelt no.
only in birds, beasts, and I‘t'plI us, but
also in forests, lakes, and rivers. Il-
-believed these spirits had power to
help or harm him and so would apolo-
gize to all -tlie animals that he killed
and even promised the fishes that their
bones should be preserved.

Such was the Indian 200 years ago
and very much the same is he to-day.
lie can not brook the scttlci-’s cabin
nor the long lines of iron rails that
carry emigration toward the west.
Unless he can be induced to give up
his roving, restless habits and become
civilized he is doomed to destruction.

ELIZA.

The Fruit Belt.

DEAR Cot;sixs:—Micliigan in the
early periods of U. S. History was not
an attractive State to settlers. The

eople seemed afraid to enter within
nschilly borders, and, therefore, not
till after the war of 1812 did the peo-
ple hear uitich ofour great State. The
iiiii along the shores of the Great
Lakes seemed so sandy as to give one
an idea of barrenuess. Fzirtln.-r inlaiil
the explorer was nn-t with dense lor-
ests and swamps and consequent dis-
couragements, which were barriers to
the home seeker.

By anti by time revealed to the
more venlurous that along the eastern

shore of Lake Michigan all kinds of

fruits that grow in the temperate cli-
mates, would grow lierc.
Ami, now, I.-iking about one tier of
counties on the weslerii shore, from
licrrieii to Benzic counties is one great
fruit belt of the United k%|n,Il".“. In
this belt is cultivated \'ast«pi:i:i!'ili--s,
of peaches, apple-s,gripi~s.p«-ir-, plums
and small fruits. In IiI'l'l'llll, Van
Enron, and Allegan Counties are rais-
cl the most pcziclics; although inany
are raised in iiorllwrii counties anti
more plums are l‘2ti~‘t'.‘ll north than
south, and evei'ywherc do we liiid ap-
pl -s. Anti the cultivation ot tln-so
fr tits aflbrd it good share of thc li\e'i.
had in this region. From the time
SLl';lVV'l)(,'l'l'll!S bcgiii t.o ripru, lhc ltisl of

Su»'.’i(:WllCi‘L', :1 special ii-uit train on the

‘ Chicago & West Michigan railroad car-

ries tne lruit of the inland shipping
places to Chicago. VVnile from the
h.-irbors of Benton Harbor, South
Haven, and Sangautuck are shipped
lliousaiuls oi baskets of peaches and
barrels on barrels of apples and crate
upon crate ct berries to the same mar-
ket and other ports across the Lake.
From there it is again sliippetl. And
the East, West and South have their
palates and stoin-iehs pleased with the
fruit of the great belt.

This train gathers up the fiuit from
the various stations in the early cveii-
ing and gets to Chicago in the morn-
ing. The boats leave their ports
about 9 P. M. and arrive in the morn-
ing also. One could not wish to see ii
greater display of industry and beauty
combined than to visit a large peach
orchard in peach harvest time. The
owners have pickers to pick them,
more help to bring to the packing
house where are girls to put them in
biskets and cover them with tarleton
which enhances their beiuity and pro-
tects them at the slime time. They
no then covered with an open wooden
cover and marked with a stencil to
~~.inu- t-oniini.~,~ioii inci‘cli_:iiit.

Apples from the Traverse regions
are shipped nrtny times directly to

Ilcns should luivcthciriuorning feed
as soon as it is light. enough for them
to see to eat. Four times a week give
three parts eaeli of wheat and buck-
wheat, one of oats, and one of corn,
;_ri'm|ntl. Il:irel_v iuoistcn thiswith hot
milk or writer, avoid making it at all
sloppy. In cold weather feed as warm
as l'l|II be eaten. Add to this, twice a
week, a quarter ol' a teaspoon of red
pr-ppcr to twenty-five fowls, and once
in four weeks dissolvcand add the same
amount of copper:u=.

Powderly's Predictions. _

Mi1~.'xssroi.is, Oct. 4.-—-In an inter-
view to-day Mr. '1‘. V. Powderly said:
"It is no doubt true that our numbers
are fewer than they once were, but we
understand each other better. There
were a great many who came into the
order through curiosity and the ex-
citement of the times, but they did not
have the interest of the inovcmcnt at
heart and have dropped out.”

"But it is true that there are many
branclie.~‘ to the labor movement, and
is this not internal dis~'ioltitioii.”

"On the contrary, these bmiiclics are
only an - vidt-nee of it henltliy growth.
There is nothing that remains perfectly
quiet, except a corpse, and I like to see
the men who are engaged in labor re-
form have diversified opinions. It
shows that they are thinking, and God
speed the time when all men will
think.

Now mark my words. for I am
speaking with some knowledge of the
subject we are dealing with, the time
will come when all these several divis-
ions of the labor inovemenl will unite
and we will have one grand reforni
organiz'uion I do not say that I am
right in everytliiiig. and, on the con-
trarv, I must conless I am too oltcn
wrong, but two factions of the labor
inoveinent will come together and then
.-is rcasoiiublc incn they will eratlicate
the iiiipraclic:~.l lc:itlii°cs so that the
best of both will be wcltlctl l()_L‘l"llll‘l‘.
Aster lillri a third lnetion will eoiuc.
and so on until a lllll'lIlUlll(lll< tinder-
~‘l:ii.-tl1ii_-_r is itrrivird at. The best ti! all

Minors must not be pr-rmitted to re-

by parent or guartliaii. Otiicers who
see any violation of the law may make
_<uinmnry arrests without process.
Forfeiture of license paid by saloon-
kecpcr and his debarment from again
engaging in the business until the time
for which that tax was paid has ex
pircd, and liability in $200 fine mid
iinprisoiuncnt 60 days is the penalty
for violation of the law. Barlciidei'.<
are alike rcspoiisible with the propri-
etors. The penalties iittacliiiig to the
sale of liquor by tlriiggists is also se-
vere; they must not sell or give any
liquor to be used as ii lievemge.

Native wines and cider may besold
without paying a tax llilll‘,.~H the wim-
Oi‘ cider is sold by the drink. in which
case a tax must be paid. This is de-
e-ididly important to lhriners who sell
cider from barrels in their wagons and
oet-,:isioii.‘illy deal it out by glass. and
also to keepers of groceries and buck-
ster stiiinls who l'f'l.‘lll cider.

The Ignorant Grangers.

The New York llerald, in defense of
the moiiopolists, referring to the Inter
State railroad law, thus speaks of those
who represent their people in Con-
gress:

“'I‘hink of a Congressional mob of
potlioiise and crossroiids politicians.
lrekwootls, cow-on-n law_\'<-rs. bar.
keepers, ward lumm -rs 8.1 d linktr<.
.-pihcc-gum peddlers Irom the crngs
of Vermont and the Adirondack wilds
of New York, and Ignorant Graiigers,
who, with grass-seed in their maues,
have just crawled out. of the brush-
piles in South west Missouri, Arkan-
Fl.l.W, West Virginia, Indiana, Iowa.
Texas. lllicliigaii, Minnesota, seizing
and attempting to control, according
to their crazy notions, these gigantic
institutions and interests. The pcrdi-
tion racked ingenuity of the devil, the
father of most of our politics and pol-
iticians, nevcr devised a maddcr com-
bination of presumption and folly.”

The above shows that the press in
the large cities can easily besubsidized.
Just how much the paper was paid for
the above (if any) we cannot say, but
amore contemptible attack on those
who sought to r present the people has
not been publis cd.—Ex.
