turning to Union Springs he con-
tinued teaching there until 1868,
when he accepted the professor-
ship of Natural History in the
Chicago University. During two
years he lectured in many places
throughout the West. and began
laying the foundation of a repu-
tation for scientific attainments
that has increased and broadened
with each succeeding year. Since
1870 Professor Beal has been
connected with the faculty of the
Michigan Agricultural College,
and it is during this score of
years that a large part of his
permanent contributions to
science have been made. He is
a broad man, and, while giving
much of his energies to special
lines of research he has not per-
mitted these to draw his attention
away from many others. Thus
ProfessorBeal has been a teacher
in the broad sense. While carry-
ing forward large college classes
he has at the same time been a
leader in many State and National
educational societies of his State.
He was president of the State
Teachers‘ Association, secretary
of the American Pomological
Society for four years. a founder
of the Society for the Promotion
of Agricultural Science, a vice-
president of the American As-
sociation for the Advancement
of Science, as well as an active
member of many other societies.
Whether as teacher, lecturer,
or investigator, Professor Beal
has always had (perhaps partly
due to the influence of the boy-
hood years upon his father’s
farm) a fondness for the practical
things of life. His writings for
the public press (and they have
been many and various, from the

A thousand detonations can pro-
duce no more effect upon the air,
or upon the watery vapor in it,
than a thousand rebounds of a
small boys rubber ball would
produce upon astone wall. So
far as the compression of the air
could produce even a momentary
effect. it would be to prevent
rather than to cause condensa-
tion of its vapor, because it is
productive of heat. which pro«
duces evaporation. not condensa-
,tion. But how, it may
be asked, shall we deal with the
fact that Mr. Dyrenforth's recent
explosions of bombs under a clear
sky in Texas were followed in a
few hours, or a day or two, by
rains in a region where rains were
almost unknown? I know too
little about the fact, if such it be,
to do more than ask questions
about it, suggested by well-known
scientific truths. If there is any
scientific result which We can
accept with confidence, it is that
ten seconds after the sound of
the last bomb died away, silence
resumed her sway. From that
moment everything in the air—
humidity, temperature, pressure,
and motion—was exactly the
same as if no bomb had been
fired. Now, what went on dur-
ing the hours that elapsed be-
tween the sound of the last bomb
and the falling of the first drop
of rain? Did the aqueous vapor
already in the surrounding air

laws.‘ If not. the hours must
have been occupied by the pass-
age of amass of thousands of
cubic miles of warm. moist air
coming from some other region
to which the sound could not
have extended. ()r was Jupiter
Pluvius awakened by the sound
after two thousand years of slum-
ber. and did the laws of nature
become silent at his command?
When we transcend what is
scientifically possible. all sup-
positions are admissible; and we
leave the reader to take his
choice between these and any
others he may choose to invent.

as a great menace to the pros-‘

lessening his purchasing power.

of all employed in production or
distribution.

So long as the market-wreck
ing-option-dealer, withoutowning
or controlling a pound of the
products that he offers to sell in
limitless quantities. can determine
prices by placing his fictitous
products in competition with the
products of the farm, just so
long will the farmer be uncer-
tain of a reward for the labor
and capital employed. and just
so long will short periods of great
commercial activity be followed
by prolonged ones of stagnation.

The immoral practices of the
short-seller have yearly deprived
the farmer of from ten to twenty-
five per cent. of the price he
otherwise would have obtained
for his products. and in this way
his purchasing power has greatly
been lessened, resulting in equal
loss to the artisan, laborer, manu-
facturer. merchant and trans-
porter and a like loss is menaced
so long as the short-selling-mar-
ket-wrecker is permitted to
pursue the nefarious calling of
placing his fictions in competi-
tion with the products of the farm.

It requires land upon which to
grow real products; and in the
United States there is employed,
in the production of food, fibre
and forage, 750,000,000 acres or
more, and every pound of the pro-
ducts of the soil, which the farmer
offers, represents the expendi-
ture of a. definite amount of
money and labor, and the volume
of product which he can offer is
limited by the amount of land in
cultivation, its fertility and
meteorological conditions, which
last render the result sufliciently
uncertain without the baleful
work of the short—seller. On the
other hand, the short—seller—mar—
ket-wrecker neither owns nor

legislation. and could. by the en-
actment of laws taxing the‘ ‘board-
of-trade-gambler" out of exis-
tence, secure the reward due for
their labors and yet fail to do so
while their products are forced
to compete with the imaginary
products of a horde of parasites
and harpies?

Are not the harpies of the
"boards-of-trade” as much worse
than the managers of a *‘bunko“
or "skin game“ as the stealing
of hundreds of millions a year
from those who take no part in

, the game is worse than the tak— ,

ing a few dollars from somci
fellow who voluntarily goes into 1
a skin game tliinking that he has -I
asure thing of turning up thef

dealer? In the market-wrecking>
game the farmer is not even
given a chance. by the three-
card sharps of the boards—of-
trade, to see the cards that rob
him of the fruits of his labor.

For years the market-wreckers
have been able, by the short—sell-
ing device. to deprive the farmer
of a due reward. and notwith-
standing the deficient—world's—
acreage they will remain a grave
menace to his prosperity, and
that of the country, so long as
permitted to pursue their nefar-
ious calling of selling the crops
before they are grown: of selling
the property of the farmer with-
out consent, and thc1'eby fixing a
price for property in which they
have no legitimate interest.

Although existing abnormal
condidtions may enable the farm-
er——despite the baleful work of
the short-seller~—to get more
than usual for this year’s crop of
grain. even if much less than
what they should receive, yet the
Wreckers have taken and are like-
ly to retain complete control of
the cotton market until they have
forced the cotton grower to the
condition in which they had
placed the grain-grower until
short crops enabled the market
to get partially from under their
control, but let there be but the
promise of fair grain crops next
summer and the wrecker will re-
sume entire control of the markets
and prices be again hammered
down to an unremunerative level,
and the process of depressing
prices below a natural level will
continue until the market—wrecker
shall have been taxed out of ex-
istence. Is not this the Worst

—<o>—-

Among the many valuable items
that we find in the last report of
the Pomologist of the United
States Departmen of Agriculture
is the following suggestion for
making a good fruit ladder.
There is hardly a farmer that
does not need a ladder for gath-
ering his fruit. and this is the
best one I have ever seen: Take
a pole of any desired length, but
not of large diameter: sharpen it
at the top to a slim point, and
several feet from the top put a
flat iron band about it. or. in case
a band is not at hand. it may be
securely wrapped with wire. to
keep it from splitting: but the
band should not be thick. nor
with sharp edges. else it may cut
or chafe the bark of the tree.
If the grain is straight the pole
may be split with wedges from
the butt to this band, or it may
be split with a rip saw. Now
spread it at the bottom to several
feet in width, and, if the ladder
is to be tall, this should be five
or even six feet or more. Nail a
brace temporarily across the
butt ends to hold them apart, and
bore holes at proper distances
and at proper angles. If the
spread is not too great they may
be bored before the pole is split.
Rounds of tough, strong material
may now be inserted, beginning
at the top and first removing the
brace. Such a ladder can be

thrust upward into a tree and
placed in a fork or against a
branch without danger of falling
or being unsteady, and it has the
additional advantage of being
very light at the top, and conse-
quently easy to handle.

opportunities for social inter-
course which people in cities
have. They are a means of rec-
reation: we can lay aside our
cares and enjoy ourselves. I
hope they will be long-lived and
prosperous.

"The Farmers of the Past“~
Capt. H. Tuthill: ‘I will go back
some seventy years; that is as far
as I can remember. The plow
had one handle, on the top of
which was a cow's horn. with a
pin just below the horn to take
hold of if you wished to use both
hands; the mould-board was made
of wood. with a band of iron; the
point was called a shear; it was a
three-cornered affair with a band
of iron on it. The harrow was
used for cultivating corn: was
three—cornered. with a loop over
the top from one corner to the
other. The cradle for cutting
oats was a straight stick with a
handle. with straight sticks for
fingers, which run out from the
standard. I cannot describe the
fork and hoe. they were very
primitive affairs. In planting
corn one dug the hole. another
dropped the corn. After the corn
was covered it was siainpcd with
both feet. to prevent the crows

from digging it up. IV-.2 put
seven kernels in the hill: “U110
for the blackbird. one for the

crow. one for the cutworin. and
four to grow." VVe first used the
iiarrow and then hood the corn.
‘Ne used to catch fish and scatter
over the ground for manure--—
l.000 lbs. to the acre: they were
drawn up to the hill the last time
we hood the corn. This was on
Long Island. We used a cart:
had no wagon. Used oxen: had
no horses. Till I was fourteen I
never saw a cradle used in wheat:
they used a sickle. When they
had cut across the field they put.
the sickle in the back of their
suspenders to carry. and bound
the sheaves as the went back.
Usually, three garels made a
sheaf. The bands were made of
wheat and tied in a square knot.
The weather was very warm in
harvest, and it was necessary to
have something to keep the heat
out. We had no threshing ma-
chines. There were men who
supported their families by
threshing with a flail; they would
thresh t-en bushels per day.
Threshers often got very cold
and had some kind of beverage
to keep the cold out—the same
as that used to keep the heat out;
it was a poor rule that would not
work both ways. In sowing
wheat they had no drills: it was
sowed broadcast. Many plowed
it in; they sowed it on the ground
and plowed very shallow, so
when it came up it looked very
much as it does now after the
drill.

"Farmers of the Present"-
R. D. M. Edwards: To-day there
is no name more recommended
than the farmer; other people are
calling upon us for our name.
Now, as they enter society, they
are counted as among the first.
We are looked upon as the first
in everything, and it is our duty
to prepare ourselves to be first.
True, there are some who do not
care; they are unworthy the
name; they never attend the Farm-
ers’ Club meetings or seek to im-
prove themselves mentally, so-
cially, or politically. But. taking
them as a rule. the farmers of to-
day are ambitious. You find
their houses as well furnished as
any. You cant‘ tell farmers‘
wives; their homes are filled with
books and papers, and we are on
an equality with any, intellectu-
ally. Politically we are prepar-
ing to fill any place. If tariff
adds to the value of things the
farmer has an equal chance. We

; they almost freeze us. \Ve should

ibest we can for them while under
4 our roof. Do not bore your guest
with too much entertaining. give
them time to rest and make them
feel at liberty to do as they
please. I would set my table
with a bill of fare sufficiently
good for my family. with such
dainties as my garden and purse
will allow. then my company will
not feel that they are making too
much trouble. Don't be always
making excuses. it isn‘t pleasant.

"The Farmer is King. Shall
He Rule‘."'— Pres. Dunn. If he
is king he ought to rule. The
farmer. in one sense. stands first:
he calls .into use the things to
sustain life: he don't create them.
It is a worthy occupation; we can
hold our heads high. We must
work in harmony with the divine
hand: we must study His laws
and be governed by them; there
is no class so in communion with
the Lord as we. All people look
to the agricultiirist for the com-
forts of life. All other occupa-
tions may be suspended for a
time without seriously deranging
anything. but let the agricul-
turist stop and what a wail goes
up. An ambitious man seeks
these things: power. popularity.
and influence. If he uses honor-
able means to gain these ends we
respect him. There are lines
where the fariner has the right
to attain to power. Wlieii lie

in this country: those in author-
ity are taking cognizance of what
he wants and demands.
“Temperance "e Mrs. J. D.
Crispell: Tracing the history of
the Anglo-Saxon race back far
as they have a history. we find it

use of alcoholic drinks. Thus
the appetite for alcohol has been
handed down from generation to
generation. Its influence on the

Statistics show that over 80 per
cent. of the crimes committed are
committed through the influence
of alcohol. Also that there are
215.000 saloons in the United
States. costing the peoply annu-
ally $1.484.000,000, and 164,000
public schools. for the support
of which the people pay annually
$80.000,000. The value of the

1865 the national debt was 
680, 647, 860. If the saloons cost an-

in two years exceeds the national
debt by -“Z~‘288,368.13l; enough to

Building the Fair.

It takes a fence. six miles long
to enclose the World's Fair biiild-
ings. All these striictures are to
be of extraordiiiary dimensions.
but the largest of them. on which
the foundation work has just
been coininenced. will be soine-
thing stupedous. It is the Hall
of .\lanufat-tures and Liberal
Arts. The site for this vast.
building is a broad. highly situ-
ated plateau overlooking the
lake. A railroad track runs
through its center. and on each
side rise tremendous piles of lum-
ber. iron and all sorts of con-
struction material.

the other great buildings. on
which further progress has been
made. Within the enclosure the
Exposition site resembles one
vast workground, surrounded by
freight cars and lumber yards.
Looking out towards the lake.
the breakwater, the long pier
and foundation for the naval ex-
hibit present the appearance of
a mammoth dockyard.

Changed. indeed. is Jackson
Park. and those who visited it
three months ago would not
know it now. A worlds work-
shop. employing an army of
builders. environed on three sides
by the foliage and flowers of the
south parks, and on the fourth
by the infinite expanse of the
lake.

The Exposition site has under-
gone a wonderful change since
last spring. Then it was a soft,
marshy ground, shelving in irreg
ular stretches to the water line.
Now it is a firm level, a smooth
sandy surface upon a clay sub-
soil. A perfect and admirably
improved building site. The hun
dreds of visitors who view the
grounds cannot immediately ap-
preciate the immense difiiculties
that have been overcome and the
great labor involved in the earth-
work accomplished on this lake
shore site. It is now a level sur-
face to the line of the lake, a
surface a mile and a half in
length and, at its southern ex-
tremity, nearly a mile in width.
This has been created, graded
and leveled by constantly em-

ploying a small army of men and
now, within the six miles of fence

roll into the ground unceasingly
and are switched up to the build-
ings to which the materials be-

with a will and as if by magic
towering piles of material rise in
every section of the grounds.

Mounted superintendents ride
from point to point urging things
forward. The word is "rush" in

every department and branch of

The big buildings are begin-

the principal structures are not
only in evidence. but progress
on them is marked from day to

A Lump of Sugar.

Horses. old and young, are as
fond of sugar as children. It is
their most delicious condiment;
and no matter how salt hungry.
they will choose sugar in prefer-
ence every time. Numerous frac-
tious, wild. “scary“ colts and
horses have been tamed with this
sweet. When once they get a
taste of it, if they think a person
has it they will follow and tease
for it as a kitten will for milk.
Once having had a taste. it will
start a balked horse sooner than
all the whips or other coaxing in
existence. Sugar has other uses
in equine economy. It is better
‘than condition powders. When
off, it will put the horse on his
feed and help keep him on. It is
a good digestive when off dry
food. It will make his coat shine
equal to flax seed. The way to
feed it is to cut the hay, dissolve
the sugar in water and then
moisten the hay with it. Stir it
all over several times and let it
stand awhile for the sugar to be
absorbed. After the hay is eaten,
the horse may be found licking
his manger all over wherever the
sugar touched. To make your
horses the most friendly towards
you, give them a lump of sugar
occasional1y.—Exchange.

Start the Shoats Early.

The following suggestions are
from a man who alwaya makes
money on hogs: One of my old
ihobbies becomes dearer to me in

fully appreciated. and if by
touching on it now I can be the
means of putting money into the
pockets of even a few of the
many who look to these columns
every week for ideas out of which
cash can be evolved. or if I can
point the way by which some of
them can, if they will. realize :30
or I30 cents a bushel for a whole
lot of corn that they would oth-
erivise inarkct at 3-ll) or 40 cents.
your space and their time will
not be taken up in vain.

I allude to the siibject of get-
ting the winti-r‘s output of fat
hogs to fattening right away-—-
utilizing to the fullest every one
of the next liundrcd days. the
best of all the year for the pur-
pose. and not ri-lying for good
results on the old and ilintlike
corn of last year or the year be-
fore. biit on the green corn now
growing in the fields in full milk.

ed) supply of green corn with
all its stalks. blades and ears.
morning and evening. 1 have
never yet encountered it face to
face. However, I have never
known such shoats to be retard
ed in their rapid progress to-
ward healthy obesity by having
a little that was fresh about noon
time. Some good breeders think
disturbing their hogs in the mid-
dle of the day to induce them to
eat at that time is not altogetlicr
desirable: but they will not eat
more than they can digest. and
all they will digest and assimil-
ate is. I take it. about what tliey
should have during such an im-
portant period of their lives.

Tlicy will eat an astonishing
quantity of the fodder as well as
cars. but by no ineaiis all of it:
all that tlii-ycatseeiii.~'. todo thi-in

more of the fodder by having an
insiifticiciicy of corn they will
not thrive so fast. the stalks and

necessary fattening properties.

and not so fresh. pays well. as
the fresher it. is at each feeding
the greater the avidity and ri-lisli
with which it is eaten.

At first blush it may sccin to
feeders who have not tried it to
be a reckless waste of their ini-
mature new corn to chop it down.
wagon load after wagon load.
and dump it day after day before
a lot of swine that act for a time
 if they would never get quite
enough. but I am free to say that
whatever the price of hogs. or
corn either. I have never realized
such satisfactory returns for any
other corn I raised as from that
planted early and shoved right
out to the hogs in generous abun-
dance. stalks and all. from the
time it was in fair “roasting
ear.” This does not apply alone
to late varieties of field corn. but
to early sweet corn, some of the
larger varieties of which yield
tremendously of fat ears rich as
cream. with much . fodder. A
small tract of fertile ground af-
fords a great deal of this sort of
feed, because it can be planted
much more thickly than would be
best with larger dent corns that
are intended to stand in the field
until matured.

None of this talk is intended
as argument against giving the
hogs fed with green corn- some
from the old crop; put it where
they can get at it and eat all they
will. be it little or much. If con-
venient to soften it by soaking
so much the better; it cannot help
doing them good. The point I
would make is, do not fritter
away the most valuable, the gold-
en months of all the year, be-
cause you may be out of old corn
and you think the shoats will
get along somehow in the "past-
ure” until the new corn is ripe.
for it is profitably possible to
well nigh “make” the hogs be-
fore the season for ripe corn.and
nearby storms make easy, quick

Going to Leave the Farm.

The work of the farm was over
for the day:‘ the children—with
the exception of the eldest son.
who had gone to the village—
were in bed. and in the big. coin-

fortable kitchen Farmer Hare-y

wood, his wife. and his wife's
sister. Mrs. Lucas. were sittting
aroun(l the center table. The
farmer was reading the paper,
his wife was putting a patch on
the knee of little Harry's diminu-
tive knicker-bockers. and Mrs.
Lucas was crocheting a hood of
blue and white Zephyr l'or a small
niece.

There was a silence in the
kitchen. save for the snapping
of the fire in the stove. the tick-
ing of the big. eight-day clock in
the corner. and the rustic Of the
farmer's newspaper. and when
Mrs. llarewood sighed deeply.
l)oth her sister and husband
looked up in surprise.

"\Vhat's the matter. Sarah?"
asked the latter. That sigh was
the loudest I ever heard you give.
Has anything g011eWt'()l1g'.’ You
look as though you had a big
load on your mind."

"I liave." answered his wife.
"And it is a load which you must
share. Eli: I liave borne it alone
as long as I can bear it. There
is a great trouble in store for us,
husbandm George is going to
leave the farm."

The newspaper fell to the floor.
and for a moment the farmer
looked at his wife. too much sur-
prised to utter a word.

"Going to leave the farm!" he
repeated at last. “Sarah. you
must be dreaming."

Mrs. Harewood shook her head
Sadly.

"I wish I were." she said.
"No. Eli. it is true. George has
made up his mind to leave us. I
have noticed for months past
that he seemed dissatisfied and
restless, and since you sold Vixen
he has grumbled a great deal
about the work and the dullness
of his life. And to—day I heard
him to say to Jasper Flint that
he would not be here a month
from now: that he had had
enough of farm life and intended
to leave; and if we refused our
consent to it he would run away
and take his chances."

“VVe'll see about that." said
the farmer angrily. "Consent to
it! I rather think not! I won't
consider it for a moment. What
would he be worth a year from
now if I let him go?
in with all sorts of rascals in the
city. and get us all into trouble.
Besides. I need him here. It'll
be ten years at least before Harry
can take his place, and he's got
to stay, if I have to tie him
down."

“Why don't you make him
want to stay. Eli?" asked the
gentle voice of his sister-in-law.

" If he's got the city fever on
him. all the talking in the world
wouldn't do any good." rejoined
the farmer. ‘* He wouldn't listen
to a word."

'-Don't talk. Don't let him

ever suspect that you are aware-y

of his desire to leave you.
a new plan. Eli: a plan I have
been thinking of all day."

"The best plan I know of is to
tell him my mind freely. without
any beating about the bush: and
the sooner it's done the better."

"Now, Eli. don‘t be above tak-
ing a woman's advice. Let
me tell you how to deal with
George. I have been here three
months now, and have taken a
deep interest in the boy. I have
seen his dissatisfaction. and rec-
ognized the cause. I have heard
him talking to Jasper Flint more
than once. and only yesterday
I heard him say that if he went
to the city what he earned would
be his own, but here he worked
from dawn to dark. and was no
better off at the end of the year
than at the beginning. He said
that Tom Blythe, who is in a gro-
cery store in the city, gets twelve
dollars a week. and Tom is only
seventeen. Now, if you want
George to stay on the farm, give
him an interest in it. Eli. He is
eighteen years old, and has
worked faithfully for you ever

since he could talk plain. He
has had his food and lodging and
, two suits of clothes a year. to be
‘sure, but all that he actually
lowns is that collie dog. which is
-‘always at his heels. You even
I sold the only horse you had that
for the saddle. And
;George was extraodinarily fond
iof Vixen."

"It seemed a pity to keep a
horse that no one but George
ever rode." said the farmer. "and
she was too light for work. I am
a poor man. Hester. and can't
afford playthings for my child
ren."

" You can better afford to keep
an extra horse than to have your
son leave you. Eli. Whom could
you get who would take the in-
terest in the work that George
has? You have thought it only
right that George should do his
share toward running the farm.
and have (-onsidered your duty
done in giving him a home. You
are disposed to think him un-
grateful because he wants tp
gleave you. now that every year
makes his services more valuable.
Ilut the boy is ambitious. and is
not satistieil to travel in a circle.
He wants to make some headway.
And it is only natural."

The farmer leaned his head on
his hand. a look of deep thought
on his grave. weather-beaten face.
His gentle sister-in-law's plain
speaking had given rise to
thoughts which had never before
entered his mind.

“I believe you are more than
half right. Hester," he said at
last. “I'll think it all over to-
night and make up my mind what
to do. I'd be lost here without
George. and he shan't leave the
farm if I can help it."

“Force won't keep him, Eli;
remember that. " said Mrs. Lucas;
feeling that she had said enough,
folded up her work and. taking
up a lamp from a shelf by the
stove. went up stairs to her
own room.

Just at daybreak she was
roused from a sound sleep by the
[sound of horses hoofs in the yard
;and looking out of the window
yshe saw Eli trotting away on old
.Roan.

I "Where can he be going at
lthis hour?" she thought.

I When she went down stairs at
{six o'clock. George was standing
iby the kitchen table. having just
;come in with two full pails of
imilk. His face wore a discon-
‘tented, unhappy look. and he
lmerely nodded in return for his
launt's cheery "Good morning."
' A few minutes later his father
entered, but George. who had
{gone to one of the windows, and
lwas looking out dejectedly. did
not even glance up.

“You were out early, Eli,"
,said Mrs. Lucas. "I heard you
‘ride away at daybreak."

, “Yes. I went to Pine Ridge on
.*_a matter of business."
'5 “That's where you sold Vixen.

{over Georges face as the child

turning to his son. "I've made
up my mind to part with that
fifty—acre lot by the river. \Vl1at
do you think of tlnit‘.'"

"Of course you are to get a
good price for it. sir," said the
young man indifferently. "It's
the best piece of land you have."

“But I haven't sold it. I am
going to give it away."

"Give it away!" repeated
George, roused out of his in
difference. and starting at his
father as if he thought he had
not heard aright.

“Yes. deed it over every inch
of it, to some one I think a great
deal of. and who deserves it."
laying his hand on his son's
shoulder. and his voice breaking
a little. "I am going to give it
to my son. George Harewood. to
have and to hold. as he sees fit.
without question or advice."

“Tome! You intend to give
that fifty acres to me, father'."’

"Yes. my boy, and with my
whole heart. You've been a
good son. George, and I only wish

i

Iwere able to do more for you.
But I am not a rich man, as you
know. and I have your mother
and the three little ones to pro-

vide for. too. Still. I want you toi

have a start. and this fifty-acre;
lot will yield a handsome profit. }
You can have three days a week
to call you own. and that will 

give you a chance to work it. and: 

if you choose to break in that
pair of young oxen I bought the
other day from Bagley. you can‘
have them for your trouble."

'*This—tliis seeins too much.
sir." stainmered George. -‘I don't
know how to thank you."

"Too much! Then I don‘t
know what you'll say to this."
and the farmer took his son by
the arm and led him out on the.
porch. "There's another present I
for you. my boy." ,

"Vixen!" The word came‘
from Georges lips with a long.‘
sigh of joy. and with one bound‘
he was at the side of the little
black mare he had thought never‘.
to see again. and had both arms.
about her neck. “Oh. father.
I'd rather have Vixen than any- ,
thing else in this world." ',

And he buried his face in the‘
pretty creatures mane. and in 1
spite of his eighteen years. fairly;
broke down and sobbed aloud. ;

That ended George's desire to 
leave the farm. He was neveri
again heard to mention the sub- 
ject. and he grumbled no more‘;
about the hard work and the mo-E
notony of his life. but in every}
way tried to show his appreciation l
of his father's kindness.

In fact. Eli Harewood was won't l
to say occasion ally in confidence to 
his wife that he had reason to=
bless his sister-in-law for her
good advice. and that he owed it
to her that he had a stalwart arm l
to lean on in his advancing years.

But George never knew to
what he owed the change in his
fortunes. —Grange Homes.

Grange. and we reproduce it as
applicable and pertinent for
readers of the VISITOR:

On the -lth day of December.
1891. the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandryflmore familiarly known
as the Grange—will celebrate its
silver (‘_’;'ith) anniversary. The
Grange was organized shortly
after the close of the civil war
by a few loyal men and women
whose purposes were: To form a
more perfect union between the
farmers and their families of the
several sections of the then dis-
turbed and trembling govern-
ment; to elevate and educate the
farmers of the nation; to de-
velop a better manhood and wo-
manhood; to arbitrate. rather
than litigate, personal differ-
ences: to sell more and to buy
less; to discountenance the mort-
gage system. the fashion system

gality and bankruptcy; to ad-
vance and encourage women to
be more self-dependent and bet-
ter fitted to battle with the rules
a11d laws of the business world:
to care for the children of the na-
tion. knowing that without good
schools. and universal intelli-
gence. no Republican form of
government can long exist: to
care for the sick: their widows
and orphans; to inculcate lessons
of loyalty: to scatter words of
kindness in Faith. with Hope and
with Charity and with Fidelity.
In short, the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry started out to till the
soil of North America, and to so
fertilize it. that the annual pro-
duct of "The greatest good to
the greatest number” might be
largely increased. This work
has been. and is now being.faith-
fully, intelligently, successfully
performed. No organization or
association of humanity is per-
fect. Nor is it claimed that the
Grange is a perfect organization.
But it is claimed for the Order
that much good has been accom-
plished by, and through its ef-
forts.

cal, non-sectarian in religious,

GRANGE VISITOR. Paw Paw, Mich.

cational matters. it has none the
less exerted a powerful inlluence
for good in all these things.
Even the Congress of tlie United
States. hard of hearing as it is,
has heard the voice of the Na-
tional Grange calling for the con-
trol.by just laws. of corporations;
for reduced postage rates: for
government control of telegraph
and telephone lilies; for lower
rates of taxation; for more gov-
ernment aid to public education,
and for a score of other iniport—
ant questions now before the pub-
lic eye and attention. And stu-
pid. indeed. is the man who. for
one moment. thinks the farmers
of this nation. through the oldest
farmer's order—the Grange~
have not done their full share in
bringing these questions to the
front. In this connection it is
safe to say that no man. without
regard to party politics, need
hope to be elected to public otfice
who is not earnest, pronounced
and honest in his efforts to bring
these results about, and that. too.
as speedily as possible.

To tell the good things accom-
plished by the Grange would be
to write a book: interesting and
instructive it is true, but alto-
gether too long for this article.

To promise what the Grange is
going to do. would be to antici-
pate the pages of history for ages
to come. For, on every page
Where honest progress for the
right, for truth. for justice, for
equality before the law for rich
and poor, for high and low, for
male and female. is recorded;
there, also, will the work and in-
fiuence of the Grange be re-
corded.

The Grange will he in the fu-
ture, as it has been in the past,
ready to take sides with right
and against wrong: with the op-
pressed and against the oppress-

or: with the temperate and
against the intemperatc: with

progress as against sloth an(l su-
perstition: with intelligence as
against ignorance: with the lion-
est and against the dishonest:
and the Grange will do this be-
cause it is right, and not because
it may or may not be popular.
for be it known that the men and
women who compose the Grange
have. in the main. minds as clear
as the crystal streams which flow
through the meadows: purposes
as clean and bright as the sun-
shine which tans their hands and
faces; aims as pure as the flow-
ers, buds, leaves and grasses
which are their constant com-
panions. How long the cities
of this nation would prosper with-
out the pure food, pure men and
pure Women furnished them from
our farms and farm homes, is a
question more easily asked than
answered.

The work of the Grange is not
for today. It is for all men and
for all time. He who is eligible
to membership, and wants to
help the needy, correct the err-
ing, raise the fallen, cause two
blades of grass to grow where

and non-denominational in edu-

, but one grew before, scatter seeds

of kindness. make liiiiisi-lf a big
ger man iiiti-llei-tiially. a iii-tit-1‘
man morally. and a more useful
man generally. can find no better
opportunities and no more will-

ing associates than are to be
found in the Grange.
The farn1er's wife and her

daughter will find no more golden
opportunity for extending their
sphere of influence and useful-
ness, without trespassing on the
rights of any one, than is found
in the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry; an Order that knows no
section and no sex: that has a.
local. a county. a State and a Na-
tional organization; that says the
oflice must seek the man. not the
man the ofiice: that believes an
honest man is the noblest work
of God. and a virtuous. industri-
ous and intelligent woman is his
counterpart; an Order that joins
with all other Orders and associa-

tions in doing good. Such. ii:
short. is the Grange. It conies

to you without boasting. yet it is
not ashamed of its record. It
asks your favorable coiisiileia
tion: it promises faithful work
for the protection of your faini-
lies: the llll1)l'U\'l:Ill(‘l1l of your
honies. loyalty to your country
and for every cause that is just.
More. the Grange cannot do; less‘.
it will not do.

Cheap Notoriety.

There are yet a few papers and
speakers left who are either
blindly ignorant themselves, or
assume that their readers or
hearers are, and so consequently
they can innoculate them with
the virus of distrust and discon-
tent, and not be disputed in their
statements. This kind of fiction
is fired at farmers at every op-
portunity. The brazen etl’ront-
ery and bare—faccd assurance of
some of the statements made. or
the twist that is given to a half
truth to fashion it into the sem-
blance of fact. would shame into
perpetual silence all of these ef-
fusive voices. could the exa-(:1.
facts at the same time be pre-
sented in contrast. Here is what
one of these talking machines
said on a recent occasion at a
farmers‘ gathering:

The people are going to have
cheap money. just as the banks
get it now for one per cent a
year with their bonds as security.
We can offer rea-l estate security,
the best in the world, worth four
times the amount issued. and so
do away with the surplus mid-
dlemen who take the cheap mon-
ey, and good money of the gov-
ernment, and loan it out at high
rates of interest, making it good
money and dear money. It

makes a difference who is doing
it, that‘s all.

Now the inference is-—and that
is the idea that was intended to
be inculcated——that the govern-
ment sorts out a few individuals
to whom it distributes money at
one per cent. This speaker gets
a lot of cheap applause from the
unthinking and credulous, by
such arrant nonsense. It is this
kind of argument that begets a
clamor for the two per cent. loan
scheme and other financial vaga-
ries.

Before pricking this bubble we
append another sample para-
graph, taken from an Alliance
paper, to show how intentional
is the deception, and how neces-
sary it is that people be misin-
formed to gain adherents to a
poor cause:

“One of the strongest argu-
ments against national banks,
next to the power given them to
inflate or con tract money volume,
is the tax imposed upon the peo-
ple to maintain their bondwbasis
of circulation. For every 3590 of
national bank circulation there
has been a government bond of
$100 as a basis. This bond draws
say 4 per cent. interest. This in-
terest the people pay. That is-
for every $90 of national bank
money in circulation the people
pay an annual tax of  or $100
every twenty-five years. Thus
have gone millions of the peo-
ple’s money since the adoption of

‘that f/zc 007141 was mmlv: in r-1»;/sc-
Ir/r/c’/1r‘¢'Uf. uml fr» frI.rr//‘ flu: /mu/as

A review of the lessons from this

[schooling would bring such an
answer, and people are expected

to believe it. for it says that the
{argument against banks “is the
ltax imposed upon the people to
maintain their bond basis of cir-
lculation“; and further along it
lsays: "This bond draws say 4-
» per cent. This interest the peo-
plepay." Here again it is left
to be inferred that the interest

on the bond is a tax imposed in

and but for them would be
mittcd. for it says. "for every
I-‘.~'€!0 of national bank money in cir-
culat ion. the people pay an annual
tax of or $100 every twenty-
iive years."
their hold upon the confidence of
farmers by such deceit are a per-
petual libel upon the intelligence
that supports them.

l't.‘-

Let us attempt to untangle this
web of practical falsehood. Be-
fore the law creating National
banks was enacted by congress,
the debt for which the bonds
were given was made. The
bonds are only evidences of the
debt made necessary by the ex-
igencies of war. The interest on
these bonds must be paid in
whomsoeve-r's hands they are
found. and the interest or “tax."
as the writer of the above ex-
tract is pleased to term it. is no
greater nor more burdensome
because it is held by a bank as
security for a faithfulperform-
ance of its functions, than if
held by an administrator in trust
for minor children. or as a safe
investment for the funds of an
institution. Any one who has
the money, and is satisfied to re-
ceive a low rate of interest. ca11
purchase these bonds. and if he
has money enough to purchase
=I<;3().000 of these bonds. can go
into banking with all the priv-
ileges which it is said the gov-
ernment lavishes upon such indi-
viduals. There is a restriction,
however, made by the govern-
ment which says this fortunate
individual shall not issue shin-
plasters upon this bond basis, but
shall only be allowed to circulate
nine-tenths of the amount of its
bonds in good currency. which
the government furnishes. and
guarantees. For this trouble of
printing and keeping a record of,
Uncle Sam charges’ the banks
one per cent. How this one per
cent can be construed to mean
what the orator referred to says:
that the government loans the
banker money at one per cent,
is a mystery past finding out. In
the first place it has taken $50.-
O00 of his ready money and lock-
ed it up. and has handed over
$45,000 of National bank currency
in lieu of it. If this currency is
lost or burned up the govern-
ment is the only one who is the
gainer by it; the bank must re-
turn the whole of the original
$45000 or its equivalent when it
ceases to do businsess, in order
to get its $50000 back again.
This system of banking may not
be the best that could be devised
——we are not landing the system
—but we do not like to hear it
misrepresented for ulterior de-
signs or to have prejudice in-
kindled for no good purpose.
The GRANGE VISITOR is not in-
terested in forming a new party,
and its only interest in party
measures is to get at the truth,
so it cannot be expected to give
currency to the unwise and un-
truthful harrangues so frequent
in farm papers in the column of

Alliance literature. We shall

as a hint to him to replenish his
stock. There is a duty as great
yin the Grange, although there is
ino compensation for the labor.
lThe Master must assume many
lof these necessary duties, or ap-
lpoint competent members for the
work. We refer now particu-
larly to the necessity of a solicit-
or in each Grange for subscrib-
ers to the VISITOR. Other or-
ders and all organizations have
to do this necessary work. That
very excellent publication. the
School Moderator, would cease
to exist if school boards did not
require their teachers to sub-
scribe for some of the school
journals. and see that they take
them. Every business has its
.trade paper, and it is pushed into
lnotice. There is no other way.
3The Grange is lamentably dere-
llict in this matter. Every other
iperson we extend a. "VIs1'ron" to
“at the fairs says: “Oh. yes! we
fused to take it. I want to see a
Qcopy again." Such subscriptions
ihavc lapsetl for want of an invi-
ltation at the proper season to re-
lnew for the paper. It is true we
lhave a large list of subscribers
{that we can count on year after
lyear. and we believe we are ad-
lding to this class of readers who
lmanage their own renewals: but
nevertheless there are three or
four thousand more who expect
to be asked for their subscrip-
tions. and will probably not re-
new unless solicited. We great-
ly desire also to add many of the
old names to our list. which can
be if the proper and seasonable
solicitation is done. Every Mas-
ter of a Grange in the state
ought at once to appoint an en-
ergetic canvasser for the VISIT-
OR, not to please the Editor nor
the Executive Committee of the
State Grange, but because it is
essential to the success of the
order in the state and to_every
individual Grange. How would
a Grange know what representa-
tion its district was entitled to
except for the report of the Sec-
retary printed on the last page
of this issue. The paper is also
the medium for the announce-
ments of meetings, and for the
general information of the mem-
bers in the state and out of it of
what is going on in the order.
Every Grange family, and many
families who ought to belong to
the Grange, should be asked to
take the paper. Will you ap-

point the canvasser?

see the genial face of Dr. Beal
on the first page of the Visitor.
He has faced an audience in near-
ly every county in the state in
institute work. or at the meetings
of the State Horticultural Socie-
ty, and no man in it is more fa-
miliar with its resources and its
productions than he. We hope
to induce other well-known men
to visit our readers in this famil-

Local Option in Van Buren County Market Report and Indications.

Lest it may be forgotten in

the defense to get rid of. or do-'
lay the trial.

The principal case came up for
anew trial. under disagreement
from the previous term. with
such added evidence. as made it
almost certain that conviction
would follow. The respondent
was the hotel proprietor. and the
complaining witness a citizen of
the town. A second case had
also been made against the same
party, and was on the calendar.
The complaining witness swore
on the trial that after the exam-
ination in the second case, the
respondent came to him in his of-
fice and offered to put  in an
envelope and place it in the post-
otiice at the end of each month.
so long as he was left undis-
turbed in his business. There
was no denial of this fact. but the
defense produced four customers
who had been coach cd into swear-
ing that they called for and drank
“Harter‘s Bitters." and that it
was not whisky that they drank
in the presence of the complain-
ing witness. \Vhile the jury
‘.verc out in the first case, a plea
of guilty was made in the second.
to avert the probable wrath to
come. which a change in the pa-
pcrs to a second offense would
have brought. The penalty of
a second offense is both tine and
imprisonment. This running to
cover of the king bee created
consternation in the guilty crowd.
and they piled over each other in
their eagerness to enter their
pleas of guilty.

There is no doubt that some of
"the very elect"-those who car-
ry the sign-manual of their sin-
cerity and fealty to whisky on
their visage—can still get into
the locked up places, and ex-
change their nickels for a drink,
as there are persons who will
continue to steal. notwithstand-
ing the penalty for such a crime.

An abstract temperance senti-
ment standing back and looking
on, thinking the law will enforce
itself, doesn't work here. Pro-
hibition per sc is free whisky. It
takes grit in the citizens, as well
as effective work by the officials
to enforce the law. In every
town in the county. this every-
body‘s—business has been taken
up by individuals. backed by a
strong sentiment in the legiti-
mate business on the street. One
man in Paw Paw——the Visitor is
proud to mention his name.Aaron
Van Auken—has been the per-
sistent, consistent fighting front
of the temperance sentiment of
the town. If other counties
adopt local option the same meth-
ods must be employed to combat
unprincipled tactics and unscru-
puious testimony. The worst
elements in human nature are
arrayed against sobriety, and it
is folly to expect the ipse dixit of
law to be obeyed, without active
fighting to enforce it. The vic-
tory is not complete in Van Bu-
ren county. “Eternal vigilance”
is the price that must be paid for

a temperance town.

There are three articles in the
Atlantic for the month of October
to which the reader will at once
turn. First, to Oliver \Ve-ndell
Holmes’s tribute to James Rus-
sell Lowell, a poem touching
alike for the public sentiment of
grief that it expresses as well as
for the personal note of sorrow
at the loss of a friend and fellow-
poet. The next article. Henry
Stones account of Gen. Thomas.
will be of great interest to the
many people who liked and the
few who did not like. the much
talked-about paper on General
Sherman by Mr. John C. Ropes.
The third contribution which will
command attention is the paper
by Colonel Thomas Wentworth
Higginson, on “Emily Dickin-
son’s Letters." Such extraor-
dinary letter writing as Emily
Dickinson's has certainly never
been seen in print before. Her
letters are interesting precisely
because every tradition as to
what makes a letter interesting
is absolutely ignored, and her
style is one that would make the
eighteenth-century letter-writers
turn in their graves. Her life in
her family, strange as it was.
only partially accounts for the
peculiarities displayed both in
her character and in her corres-
pondence. No one who wishes
to gain some idea of a woman
who has of late come so promi-
nently before the public can
afford to miss the paper.

Quail or No Quail.

E1). VISITOR: There is consid-
erable interest being manifested
by the farmers in this vicinity in
regard to the new game law.
which allows quail to be killed
from Nov. 1st to Dec. 15th. and
as the hunting season for most
other game opened Sept. 1st. the
“slaughter of the innocents” was
pretty sure to begin then, law or
no law.

Now some of our farmers are of
the opinion that the quail is
worth more to them as insect ex-
terminators than it is on the
toast of the aspiring nimrod from
the city, who, with gun in hand.
tramps over the possessions of
the granger, helps himself to
fruit, throws down fences, and
takes at crack at the farmer’s tur-
keys, just for a. variety. Acting
on this idea quite a. large number
have published a. notice in the
local paper forbidding any hunt-
ing or trespassing on their lands.

It‘s time the hunters from the
city began to recognize the rights
of his rural brother. Sections
2221 and 2222 of Howell‘s anno-
tated statutes make it unlawful to
“hunt with firearms. dogs, or
otherwise on the enclosed prem-
ises of another, without the con-
sent of the owner or lessee;” and
provides afine of not less than
five or more than twenty dollars
for violations.

A few arrests and fines would
put a. short stop to the lawless
trespass of the men and boys
(some scarcely yet in their teens)
who scour the country far and
near, blazing away at every kind
of “game” in sight, from robins
to ground—hogs.

It’s very evident that the farmer
has some rights, but he has so
long neglected to assert them
that the city sportsman appears

whereby the shooting of quail?
’L'ndeI' the in-‘
fluencc of that law the qtiail has
multiplied rapitlly. proving that.’
it only ruqttirt-s a fair cliancr-, to,’
make It living. At the piwtsciitg
tiiue small flocks are met with‘

'quito frcqticntly. bttt unless the?

fariiier steps in zttid forbids hunt-
t-rs shooting on his laiids. the;
fifteeiitli of N()\'Pllll)(‘l' will ]'ll];.:‘
the death knell of the best feath-
crctl friend the f2ll'lllt‘l' has.

This wotild bc a good thing for
the Grange to take tip, as it re-
quires unifwl action. If the mem-
bers of the Grange would all put
tip notices on their farms. and
persuade their neighbors to go
and do likewise. the poor quail
would have some sort of a show.
If they should, like the rabbits of
Australia. multiply so rapidly
that they become a nuisance. the
farmer and his sons can easily
reduce their numbers. without
the assistance of his city cousin.

“Quail on toast" has ever been
a synonym of all excellence: but
the farmer, though feeding the
birds, has not had his share: now
that he is beginning to reach out
after his portion of the good
things of life let him not over-
look the quail. A. L.

Report of Pomona. K

A call for a Pomona Grange
meeting never lias to go beggiiig
for attendance. Neither did the
one called at Fowler, Sept. ltith.
Some. of the inenibers were there
quite early. considering the long
drives ntost of them had to make.
The first ones there being W. M.
Dille aitd wife. just as he should
be—- first. in positioii. first in at-
tendance. The members kept
coining until afternooii. Dallas
Grange did not turn out to wel-
come us. but we found the hall
in excellent order for oitr arrival.
and Patrons never go empty hand-
ed btit each carried a supply of eat-
ables, and the want of table-
cloths was supplied from the pile
of Grange Vtsrroits that W. O.
Bronson had brought for distri-
bution, and when the contents of
baskets and pans had been spread
thereon it was really a Grange
Feast. and as well enjoyed as
though the sisters had spent the
whole forenoon in preparing a
warm dinner.

After dinner the VV. M. called
the Grange to order, found most
of the officers present. and seven
Subordinate Granges reported:
some as good. some fair. some
poor. It was a more thorough
report than we have had since
the hurry of farm work begun in
the spring.

Bro. Carpenter read a selection
on the Money Question, which
called out considerable discuss-
ion. but to repeat it would only
be a waste of paper—~it has been
told and re-told in all the papers.
There were selections by Sisters
Dille and Ennest, and an essay by
Sister Jewett. of Maple Rapids,
which, by request of the Grange,
I send for publication.

The meeting was interesting-
some said it was the best we have
had this summer. The meeting
closed with the afternoon ses-
sion. A drive home in the cool
of the evening. and supper under
the beautiful shade by the road-
side, fininshed our part of the
program.

The following item is from a

“That the Grange is an active.

The Cause of the Unpleasantness
in Chile.

Chile had for more than half a
century enjoyed peace and tran-
quility within her borders. and
her citizens, realizing that the
uninterrupted progress and pros-
perity of their country were
owing to this fact. were deter-
mined to maintain peace at any
cost. They had before their eyes
the example of their less fortit-
nate sister republics in
South America. whose slow de-
velopment has been due to the
instability caused by their fre-
quent rcvolutions. .\lr. l5alnia-
ceda. who knew the Cliiliaii citi-
zeiis‘ inborn ahhorrcnce of revo-
lution. took 2l(l\'illll:l_L‘(* of it to
abuse the powers coiifcrretl on
him. and attacked the most cher-
ished rights of the people. such
as their right of public tin-r-tiiig.
the liberty of the '1-.!‘é‘:s‘.~‘.. and their
electoral right. All our admin-
istrations iindei' the rule of llOIl-
est Presidents had been so free
from corruption that we believed
implicitly in the honesty and
good faith of otir magistrates;
and it was not till we becttine con
vinced that Mr. lhilmaceda was
determined to name his own suc-
cessor. in case he could not. even
against constitutional provisions.
perpetuate himself in office. that
we came to suspect that his de-
termination was prompted by his
anxiety to screen himself from
the exposure which would result
in case his successor was freely
elected by the people. This in-
sistence on the part of the Presi-
dent that he should name his
successor was what led the differ-
ent parties to unite against the
President in order to insure to
the people the free choice of
their candidates.—[Froin "Chile

The_1l/Ioderate Use of Lioiuor.

VVe hear a good deal of the
"moderate" use of liquor. We
are told that a drink occasionally
does no particular harm. but
“tones up" the system. Just so
long as a man doesn't get drunk
and his physical system shows
no bad effects from the use of an
occasional drink, he is a. temper-
ate man, and no one should try
to take a harmless privilege away
from him. So far, so good; but
we know a. case in point which
will do just as well as an argu-
ment: A father of a family of
our acqaintance had convivial
habits. He would take a. glass of
beer occasionally. He would
even on rare occasions get slight-
ly “fiiddled,” but he was never
known to harm himself, his fam-
ily or his friends by his bibulous
indulgencies. He was a good
business man, a good neighbor,
a kind husband and father, and
was respected by all who knew
him. He was considered temper-
ate because he could “leave
liquor alone” when he wanted to,
and he kept his appetite well un-
der control. Personally, it did
him no harm. No one would sus-
pect from his fine physical ap-
pearance that he ever indulged
in a. drop of liquor. But there
is a sequel. He was the father

as temperance in the use of liquor.

Woman's Work in the State.

We fear, from the 1lbS(‘l1('.(‘ of‘
reports received from the Coni-
inittee on Woman's Work.
throughout the State. that. the
prize speaking contests 1‘t‘(‘()lll-
mended at the commenceiitent of
the year have itot been generally
adopted. Capital Grange is the
first to report. Two weeks ago
an excellent evening's entertain-
ment was given by competitors
for prizes on essays and decla-
mations. which reflected inttcli
credit on all who participated.
The Master of Capital Grange,
A. D. Banks, took first prize on
declamation. All pronoiinced it

hope soon to hear from many
others and report a like progre.ss.
In no better way can you break
the monotony of your tneetings

new plan will have a. tendency to
enhance an interest. especially
among its younger members.

In its November number the
Cosmopolitan will publish a series
of letters written by Gen W. T.
Sherman to one of his young
daughters, between the yea.rs
1859 and 1863 and covering most
of the important events of the
war of secession. These letters
present graphic pictures of a
great soldier amid some of the
stirring scenes in which he was
a. giant figure. and in them the
patriotic spirit of the Federal
general is seen to have been
most attractively tempered by a.
strong affection for the Southern
people. The fraternal feeling
which glows in these letters is in
refreshing contrast to the section-
al bitterness which characterized
the period, and they will consti-
tute an interesting and important
contribution to the literature of
the war.

The Over—Fra.nk Person.

Did it ever occur to you that
under this appearance of extreme
frankness a spirit of pure ma-
levolence might be hidden?

You say she is so "charmingly
frank. a law unto herself," and
kindly excuse her many over-
frank speeches. It is very chari-
table in you to do so. and far be
it from me to try to restrain you
in that: but isn't this spirit of so-
callcd frankness in danger of
being carried too far?

In this realistic age, the frank
person more than ever speaks
her mind. She boasts of her
honesty-—that she always says;
just what she means. that Slit):
never talks about people behind
their backs.

You say she is kind-hearted.
and she may be "only thought-
less." True. ;

“.\l.my 24 shalt at ranrlonl sent

Finds mark the archer little utc:utt."
but how is it that her shafts all
find the weak places in your
a.rtn01'-—a.lways fly straight to the
mark? ‘

We excuse thoughtlcssness in
a very young person and the
dreadful speeches of the “enfant
terrible?’ but in grown women
we look for self-control—a. due
amount of caution and reserve
in the use of the sharp little
weapon. mightier. in sotne ways.
than pen or sword.

You met some extremely
pleasant people on a recent visit.
The frank person is so sorry to:
tell you. but~—how much l1d.l‘ll1.
unde‘r some circumstances. this:
little word, but. can do.

You mention the happy en-
gagement of a friend. "Jones.
did you say the name was? Oh.
yes. I know: his uncle was a
defaultcr."

VVe do not say that this is the
way the over—frankperson always
talks. but she too frequently talks
and acts from impulse.

No true, kindly spirit will,
after her attention has once been
called to the fact, go on inflicting
cruel wounds by her uncalled-for
over-frankness.

She will labor unceasingly to
subdue this tendency; will ask
herself seriously if it is always
unbiased frankness that actuates
her; if some of her remarks are
not prompted by unworthy, un-
kind feelings?

Much is forgiven in the young,
even over—fra.nkness; but, as the
years go by, bad habits uncheck-
ed are only strengthened, and
the over-frank person may find
herself, even in the “serene
meridian of middle life," almost

friendless.—L. R. in Household.

coddled, but sternly restricted
young woman of the "good old

and physical fragility were deem-
ed essentially proper feminine
characteristics.

But while the father and broth-
crs and the future husbands of
the girls of the daydo not trouble
themselves to philosophize over
their being. the case is very dif-
ferent with women thctnselves.
There sectns to be a (lC(,'l(l(_'(l ton-
dcncy among feminine writers to
rr-gard the modern _young woman
as though she were something
startling—-somcthing not quite

at praising and dcploring the

of to-day is tnost unlike licr

The curious tltitig is that

neither class .s‘ut)11l.s' to think of
lu}1'. other than as it young person
who has po1'sistcntly and success-
fully pushed ltersolf forward un-
til she stands pretty nearly on
an equality in most things with
her big brother: whereas the
truth is that the typical
young woman of 12-till stands in
her present position not because
she has crowded herself into it,
but because she has been carried
there by the irrisistible force of
circumstances. She is neither
obtrusive nor unwomanly. She
is more self-reliant and self-sufii-
cient than her mother before her.
because the conditions of her ex-
istence have made her so.

The world's onward movement
is bearing the modern girl along
with it. that is all. She has
moved with swifter strides than
the other sex simply because she
was behind them at the start.
The quickening. broadening
tendencies of an era of unpre-
cedented intellectual life have
caught her and molded her as
they have molded the rest of us.
The young man of to-day is
thoroughly unlike the youth of
thc age of shoe buckles and
powdered wigs. The young
woman has merely taken her
rightful place by his side.

She has learned that it is just
as honorable and necessary for
her to seek perfect physicial de-
velopment as for hin. She has
discovered that rigorous mental
discipline in high school and
college is no less valuable to the
student in a pretty gown than to
the student in coat and trousers.

She has found. where work
for self support is imperative.
that there are a hundred avenues
of business activity in which she
can maintain herself more easily

, than at household drudgery and
;yct l{(‘O1) her womanhood free
.from spot or stain.

And in ac-
quiring this knowledge she has
become neither less feminine nor
less 'tLtl0l‘Zll)l(* in the eyes of the

For Girls.

It is surely to he wished that
every one of our girls, on leaving
school. or rather upon finishing
the course prescribed in their
text-books. should take another
course of shorter or longer dura-
tion. and that in a hospital train-
ing-school for nurses. They are
all taught, as much front observa-
tion as anything else. that a
fainting person should be laid on
the back and fanned, and freed
from any constraint of clothing
about the waist or throat; that a
piece of hot flannel is good for
rheumatism and growing pain;
that hot lemonade at bedtime is
good for a cold; that bicarbonate
of soda is good for acidity; that
they had best not sit between a
fever patient and the fire, or at-
tend. before eating, any one suf-
fering from a contagious illness,
or come into such presence while
perspiring; and that is about all
they know in relation to illness.

may come to them with a. force
bitterer than any direct know-
ledge of pain and suffering they
could have gained in a three or
six months’ course in a hospital
ward. What suffering would be
saved to themselves as well as
to those they love in that by-and-
by if, for instance. they knew
enough, at sight of the swift-puls-
ing jet frotn a severed artery, to
tie the bandage between the
heart and the cut; if they knew
that hot water shuts up the
blood vessels. and prevents con-
gestion and the black-and-blue
mark of a bruise where the little.
toddler has bumped his head: if
they knew that the wasting and
fatiguing night sweat of consump-
tion could be lcsscncd. if not hin-
dcred by a sponge bath with salt
water just before sleep. or that
the disgusting after flavor of cod
liver oil could be turned into the
taste of 21- delicate little Blue
Point oyster by a quickly drunk
glass of water in which a bit of
iron has rusted: that in sudden
cases of poisoning. warm, thin
mustard water will empty the
stomacli as soon as anything that
can be ordered in the aothec.ary's
cabalistic _cltaracters: and that if
corrosive sublimate has been
swallowed. following it at once
with the white of an egg will
tt1rt1 it into what is known as
blue mass. and let the victim
escape the salivation; that a
patient can be bathed in bed with-
out letting any moisture escape
upon clothes or sheets. if the
sponge being squeezed, the back
of the bathers hand is hurriedly
turned and wiped on a handy
thick towel before applying the
sponge to the surface of the skin.
If they knew how to make a
panada, or an agreeable decoction
of toast water. to cure a hiccough.
to make a poultice. to administer
an enema. how much better off
they would be than where their
ignorance obliges them to see
those they love suffer. or else
have some one else. better in-
formed than themselves. give
the dear ones the relief they
themselves are longing to give.
How much better off would
they and all concerned be if they
only knew how to make the bed
for the sick—not in the fashion
they have always thought suf-
ficient. with the under sheet well
tucked in at the foot. but with
that under sheet drawn tightly
as possible. and fastened by
tneans of strong safety pins at
the four corners, the sides. and
top and bottom, so that not a
wrinkle may come to tease the

poor sleeples wretch. tossing
and turning for relief. In fact.

the things seem countless with
which a woman. as now educated,
finds herself unacquainted. And
for the sake of their own future
happiness, to say nothing of the
well-being of those for whose
comfort in time of sickness they
are responsible. it would be well
if, before our girls began their
careers of plcasure—their dances
and lunches and teas and other
anntsetttettts, however inno<-etit-—-
they had first receivctl the diploma
that might be given th<.-tn for
skill in some of the simpler
b1'ancltcs of the great art of nurs-

Conversation Entertainment.

A new amusement particularly
adapted to the traditional talent
of fair women is the "Progressive
Conversation Party." which had
its birth in the East. Its pop-
ularity is established by its possi-
bilities to entertain any number
of guests, though more than
twenty cannot be easily managed.
Its modus operandi is somewhat
as follows: As many chairs as are
required by the number of guests
invited are arranged in pairs in
a continuous line, one behind the
other, and are yoked together
with broad ribbons of different
colors.

The topics of conversation for
the evening are announced on
the invitation cards. A card on
which is written a topic of con-
versation is tied with a narrow

ribbon to the connecting ribbons

versation begins.

Ten minutes are allowed to

set of chairs differs from all the
others. The judges chosen pass
down the line and criticise. and
at the end of the time specified
affix tt gold star on the card of
the l)cst conversationalist. a

other departtnent, having the
allowance to Ill‘tLll{l_‘_"t.' as she

mother. If she wants to study
"ztrt.” grumble not at oils and
turpentine. and allow her. if she
wishes, to hang her efforts on the
walls. but privately try to educate
her taste by visiting galleries.
by proper books. by an’ art
atmosphere. by all the instruc-
tion that you can devise. If she
leans to music, pursue the same
course. If her taste is for using
tools don’t be alarmed and call it
unfeminine. You may be assured
it is the rarest thing for a woman
to be unfeminine; and when she
is, it is caused by something
quite different froma taste for
pursuits usually considered mas-
culine. The "feminine" is plant-
ed in the depths of her nature;
you can't eradicate it. though a
bitter experience of life will
sometimes do it.

The Care of Books.

A very little child can under-
stand tliata book must not be
thrown on the floor. or torn. or
bent backward. or maltreated in
the fifty small ways in which chil-
dren are permitted to abuse
books. Such habits in children
are due quite as tnuch to ignor-
ance as carelessness on the part
of parents. Those who have no
interest or affection for books
themselves are not likely to ex-
pect it from their children.

There is much negligence
shown in the matter of returning
borrowed books. and this often
by persons of whom one would
expect better things. For
months after a book is read it is
allowed to lie about the house.
and no effort is made to return it
to its owner. That a book should
be returned as soon as read. just
as particularly as one would re-
turn a tool after using it. or a
garment after wearing it. would
appear to go without saying.
Yet it is not always the case.

It is right to insist that our
children shall be exact in this
respect. That they shall. after
borrowing it book. cover it neatly.
treat it carefully while in their
possession. and return it prompt-
ly when finished.-AEX.

During two Neasons of fie;-id
work on the (leological S11I'Vvy
of Canada I have found pyretlr
rum powder an excellent thing
to burn in the tent to stupefy and
kill mosquitoes and black and
sand flies. This powder is known
by all druggists as "Insect Pow-
der," or as “Pyrctlirum Powder."
and sometimes as "Dalmatian"
or "Persian Insect Powder."
It is a perfect "God-send" to
tired men in the field after a hard.
day's work. Have also seen it
used in houses and stores.
When you retire to your tent at
night. or fora nap at midday.
close all the sides and the d0o:'
of the tent. and burn about
enough to cover it penny. l\Illl{'r‘,
the powder into a little pyrzunitl
or cone. on top of bark. stonc.
tin, or any other article, and
light the top with it match. It.
will smoldcr away. and the ft1tn+,-s
will quite stupefy all the
mosquitoes in the tcnt.—A. M.

GERMAN
HORSE AND COW POWDER

Is of the highest value of horses, cattle, hogs, and
poultry. It assists digestion and assimilation and
thus converts feed into muscle. milk and fat which
otherwise would be wasted.

MORTIMER WHITEHEAD

Says: “German Horse and Cow Powder pays many
times its cost in keeping all kinds of farm stock in
good health. I have used it for years on my farm,
buying a barrel at a. time."

It is manufactured by Dr. L. Oberholtzez-'s Sons
& Co., Phcenixville, Pa, and sold at

Wholesale Prices--viz:

Prof. E. D. (‘opc. at the lllOL*llll;;'

the A(lv:111ce1ne11t of S:-i1=ncc.l1el<l

(Au;:11.st). A skull of :1 burst-
was L‘Xllll)ll('(l to the 1111-1nl)1e1'x by

any one to St-!1){ll'ill1(e the fossil
teeth from those of the q11:1§_rg:1
and zebra if the three \‘\'t.‘l‘H all
thrown together. In m'1no1'
chzuncters. such as those of the
size of the bones. the differences
are perceptible. So there is no
doubt the skull represents an an-
imal (liiferent from any now liv-
ing. That it was 21 horse. how-
ever. any one could see.

The most curious thing about
the skull was its condition. The
frontal bone had been crushed
in exactly as we see in case of
animals slaughtered for food.
The friable bones protecting the
eye sockets were intact. as were
also the long nasal bones. Found
in the same bed with the skull
was a stone hammer that bore
evident marks of liziving been
fashioned by the hand of man.

What inference was to be
drawn from this? In the first
place it has been suspected and
considered probable that early
man on this continent had been
contemporaneous with a. horse.
though not the present living
species. but no direct proof had
hitherto been found. When Eu-
ropeans landed on the new conti-
nent, the horse was an unknown
animal to the natives. So it had
evidently long been extinct. All
the horses now found in either
North or South America came
from stock originally brought
over by Europeans. But here
we had evidence in the associa-
tion of a human implement and
at horses skull that man and
horse had lived together; and
the peculiar fracture of the skull
of the latter leads to the belief
that the animal had met its death
at the hands of man.

This fact opens several ques-
tions. What became of the race
of horses that once lived on the
continent? Were they exter-
lminated by savage man as civil-

lizcd man has exterminated the
Lbison? Did they once serve us
lbeasts of burden or were they
lused only as food? Were they
lwild or domesticated‘!

I It seems probable that they
lwere not used for any other pur-

fpose than as food. and that they

lexisted only in a wild state. for

:it is scztrcely reasonable to sup-
lpose that having once been used
lby man and so doniesticuted.
itheir use would ever have been
; f01'f__>‘0tteu 01' the breed allowed to

i that they were
hsolely by the 1l_2'(!n(Ԥ' of ('()lltt*lll-
l1)()l‘2lllP()llS man. for we know that
,in spite of the use of the bi.~'.ou

his money affairs. Again. at the
present time. farmers are takiiig
an active interest in public :1ff21i1's
and they are being called upon
to fill ofiices of trust and responsi-
bility. To the man who. in his
young days. kept a. business-like
account of his farm operation the
duties of his office will be less
arduous. for he has learned the
rudiments of business. There
are many farmers who cannot
make out a. bill properly to save
their lives. They may be honest.
possessed of good judgment in
their line. but they are unfit to
fill public oflices. simply because
their early training i n the simplest
forms of business was utterly
negle-cted.—F. M. Bartholomew

According to Sec. 5 Article IV.
State Grange bylaws.

"Each Pomona Grange shall
be entitled to representation in
the State Grange by one brother
and his wife, if a member of at
Pomona Grange. but each Pomona
Grange shall bear the expenses
of representatives so sent by such
Pomona Graiige."

By the failure of a few Granges
to report for quarter ending
Marcli 31st. lHfl1. they are not
named in the above list. A card.
stating this fact. has been sent
Secretaries of those Granges.
and they may yet secure rep-
resentation in the State Grange
by a prompt response. A receipt
for dues for that quarter. with
the endorsment, "Entitled to
Representation" will be sent all
secretaries remitting between
this date and Oct. 6.

Masters may very properly
look after this matter and know
that their Granges are entitled
to representation.

A $90 BUGCGIY P613701

Here is the opportunity you have been looking for. A stylish.
durable top buggy, painted in lead and oil. no dip finish. The
buggy has been thoroughly tested for over ten years on all kinds
of roads and in all kinds of service. Its easy riding qualities and
adaptability to roads has been fully demonstrated.

The demand for a good side-spring buggy has been gradually
growing for several years, and there have been several new springs
put on the market in consequence. The uiost of these have proved
failures. the ('.()llSl1‘ll(fll()l1 being such that there was no chance for
the side-spring to lengthen when loaded. hence the motion was
short and .~«'ll‘cll‘p. or the gear was thrown out of ‘‘track.'’ In the
"Wolverine" these objections are avoided. There are four springs
which are put together in such inaniier that each is allowed full
play without straining any part of the gear. It has a wrought
iron fifth wheel. clip kingbolt. and a double rea<-ll. Every buggy
should have a well braced reach to make it keep in “track.”

The GRANGE VISITOR has made arrangements with the manu-
facturer. Arthur Wood. of Grand Rapids, to sell to subscribers to
this paper the above buggy at aprice within the reach of every
farmer who needs a buggy. VVe have examined every part of the
works, and stake the reputation of the VISITOR on the good quali-
ties of every job. A two-horse two-seated wagon with three
springs, just right to take the family to church, for $55.00.

Hear what those say who have used them:

After using one two years. Dr. H. H. Power. of Sarauac. writes as follows:
compare with the ‘Wolverine’ for ease, comfort and durability."

COLDWATER. Mich., April 24th, i89i—Some years ago I purchased two single buggies of Arthur
Wood. of Grand Rapids, and found them to be strong and durable. They have been in use eight or
ten years. and have proved to be satisfactory in all respects. CYRUS G. LUCE.

PAW PAW. May isi, r89i—In 1875 I purchased an open buggy of Arthur Wood. It has been in con-
stam use since and promises several years service. I have now ordered one of the Wolverine top
buggies on the reputation they sustain for excellence, workmanship and durability. ]. C. GOULD.

Send the money to the editor of this paper, and the buggy will

be sent direct from the factory.
