January, 1-'~‘3}T. Almost the first}
act of her State le<j‘islatui'e was?
the passage of a general bankingi
law under which any ten or more
freeholders of any county might
organize themselves into a.
corporation for the transaction
of banking business. Of the
nomimal capital of a bank only
ten per cent. in specie was re-
quired to be paid when subscrip-
tions to the stock were made. and
twenty per cent. additional in
specie when the bank began busi-
ness. For the further security
of the notes which were to be is-
sued as currency. the stockhold-
ers were to give first mortgages,‘
upon real estate, to be estimated?
at its cash value by at least three1
county officers. the mortgages to’
be filed with the auditor-general1
of the State. A bank commiss-
ioner was appointed to superin-
tend the organization of the banks.
and to attest the legality of their
proceedings to the auditor-genen
al, who upon receiving such at-
testation. was to deliver to the
banks circulating notes amount-
ing to two and a half times and
capital certified to as having been
paid in.

This law was passed in obedi-
ence to a popular cry that the
banking business had become an
“odious monopoly" that ought to
be broken up. Its design was to
“introduce free competition into
what was considered a profitable
branch of business heretofore
monopolized by a few favored
corporations.” Anybody was to
be given fair opportunities for
entering the business on equal
terms with everybody else. The
act was passed in March, 1837.
and the legislature adjourned till
November 9 following. Before
the latter date arrived. in fact be-

As for the requirements for ten

per cent. payment in
specie at the time of sub-
scription and twenty per
cent. before beginning bank-

ing business. these were soon get
around in ways more unscrupul-
ous than ingenious. As the pay-
ments were to be made to the
banks themselves. the same
specie could be used many times
over. Sometimes a small sum
in specie was paid in and taken
out. and the process repeated
over and over. till the amount
required was made to appear as
having been received. Sonic-
tiines specie certificates. stating
that the maker held a sum of
specie for the bank. were counted
as specie.
invariably false. and they were
made to do service for many banks
in succession. If specie was
actually used, as soon as the
bank examinerhad seen it. it was
hurried into a wagon and taken
with fleet horses to another bank
where it again did duty as capital.
“Gold and silver," say the ofiicial
chronicle-rs, “flew about the
country like magic; its sound was
heard in the depths of the forest,
yet, like the wind, one knew not
whence it came or whither it was
going.” Sometimes what seemed
to the eye of the examiner to be
kegs of specie were really kegs
of nails or window—glass with a
thin layer of coin on top. The
loan of specie to be used in the
establishing of banks became
a regular and lucrative branch
of banking business.

sugar is very good for the land.
A good deal of other produce is
raised at the saiuo tinii-: and the-
quality and quantity of every
other crop is greatly raised by
the cultivation of the sugar beet.
Its benefits arc two-fold.

The liarvi-.stlng of the beets is
done just at the height of ripe-

of their sugar, in a condition to

be fed to cattle which are being
fattened. The syrup obtained by
the diffusion process is boiled
down to sugar.

The cultivation of sugar beets
has not been generally success-
ful in this country up to the
present time. for several reasons.
One of these is that we have al-
most at our very doors the cheap-
ly made cane sugars of tropical
countries. Another reason is.
that our farmers. as a rule, have
not the time or patience to give
to a crop the thorough and sci-
entific treatment that the cultiva-
tion of sugar beets demands.

But a more important reason
still is the fact that the necessary

Plowing under clover is pos-
sibly not so common anywhere
as it used to be in wheat-growing
districts. where a clever fallow
neatly turned in June insured a
good wheat crop the following

a wasteful practice. as the decay-
ing clover with roots furnished a
much larger proportion of nitro-
gen and available mineral plant
food than the Fall growth of-
wheat could use.

Are Farmers’ Organizations Neces-
sary or Desirable?

This subject was discussed in
Union Grange No. 118, Ontario.
at the regular meeting, Aug. 18.
1891. The following is a summa-
ry of ideas advanced by its mem-
bers:

(1) Farmers’ organizations are
both necessary and desirable. ed-
ucationally, socially and intellec-
tually. Socially tliere is no bet-
ter way of improvement than by

alone. for as we learn to improve
our products we increase the de-
mand for them; and as we in-
crease our products. we in like.
manner increase the wealth of
the country. On the other hand.
as we decrease the cost of pro-
duction. we greatly enhance the
returns and the more freely
money is floated. Hence you see
the vast importance of farmers
working together. The great
work we have to do cannot be

Senator Morgan. of Alabama. 4'
maintains that the farmers have‘!
a real grievance: he heartily ap- i
proves their organization; he had;

great hopes that it would at first?
accomplish much good: and hei
thinks that if the Alliance would:
remain true to its original pur-l
pose it would be a most beneticent:
organization. But he points out‘ _
the rise of most destructive ten- .
dencies and of narrow ideas since.
politicians‘ have got hold of it.l

Then. I ask. in what way may we
better gain this improvement
than by coming together as an

We may not be able to take a
handful right. out of the pile of
the iiiillionaire. but if We want his

thing we have at it: if we don't.
it will not go in a long time. for
in our products the germ of ex-
cellency must be placed. which,
when it it reaches him. will cre-
ate a greater desire for it than
his money. V\"heii we accomplish
this feature we may expect to get
some of his pile.

[This is good counsel for mem-

manner we are able to discuss;
questions which affect our iiitcr-E
ests with greater force. and draft

ment of laws wliich may not ap-
pear to us to be agrcezible to our
greatest advantages. lf we do
not come together in this way.
how can we have force‘.‘ One
man may see what he thinks a
defect. because of a mi'sunder—
standing of the facts. and if he
does understand them it is with
much more difficulty that he is
able to get his brother farmers to
lend him assistance. even with
their names. because of isolatton:
whereas in an organized body he
is able to lay the whole matter be-
fore its members as easily as to
a single person; hence it is easier
to obtain legislation in any direc-
tion in this way than single-
handed.

(3) Vi"e are the great produc-
ing class in the land. When we
are pinched in any way for any
length of time. those who do not
feel it are but very few. an ex-
ample of which we now see in
the great depression which has
been so general for the last few
years. It is exceedingly neces-
sary that we should be organized
in a noble body, and stand for a
noble cause. Not only is this
necessary for our own particular
interests. but for the welfare of
our country. If we are awake to
our best interests we shall come
together and interchange ideas,
and discuss questions relating to
our business with a liberal mind
and free heart, willing to teach
and be taught, endeavoring with
most earnest zeal to find the best
way to lighten our burden and
enhance our income. to improve
the quality of our products and
decrease the cost of production.
By doing this we shall find that
we help ourselves very material-
ly, and improve the conditions of
the community in general.

If, when we are in a depressed
condition, others feel it so sorely,
in like manner they will rise out
of depression as we do. Not this

Take. for example. the defect
in the postotiice <lepai'tnicnt to
which Postmaster (;}eiieral \Vana- =‘
maker is now calling ZI.l.lt"llll()l‘ ————— -
iiainely. the failure of the gov-
ernment to supply the farinerf
with his mail iiiatter as easily asj
the city man or -even a 1‘0Sl(I(‘Yll
of a large town can get it. Tlicre
is no more reason why a liuiidred
fariiiers should travel several
miles after their mail than why
 many residents of the city or,
the town should do so. Indeed.
the city man has. at any rate. to
come down town to his business.
while the farmer. in the busy
season at least, has not the time
nor the horses to spare for the
purpose. If the government
should take his mail to his door
twice or more a week he would
at least feel that he was being
considered. and was enjoying
some of the government privi-
leges that other people enjoy.

The government has done a
great deal to encourage the build-
ing of railroads. and has thus
benefited not only the fa-inner but
the mercantile classes. Had it
done something toward improv-
ing the common roads also
by subsidies and other aid. it
would benefit the country and the
farmer still more.

The national government can-
not. of course. undertake to make
good highways of all the cross-
roads and lanes in the country,
but if it had aided in every state
the construction of a few substan-
tial roads the residents would
have to improve the rest. The
convenience and profit of good
roads would thus have been prac
tically demonstrated before the
eyes of the farmer. and led him
to increase the number of excel-
lent highways at his own expense
and for his own benefit. It is not
yet too late to do this. The farm-
ers would derive far more advan-
tages from two projects like free
mail delivery and excellent high-
ways than from all the wild-goose
schemes after which they have
been chasing.

For Business Reasons.

There comes to us from anoth-
er state the news that a warrant
was issued for the arrest of an
individual on a complaint charg-

agricultural fair without license.
Proof‘ to sustain the cliairge and

fender could be had in abund-
ance. and the people expettietl
that the pa -1lSIJ ment of the guilty
one wouid reiidev: such violations
of me law less frequent. When
the case was about to be called
,-"or trial. the attorney for the
Commonwealth received a letter
signed by some of the otlicers of
the Fair Association. and other
prominent citizens, asking him to
entera non pros, Vilhen asked
the reason for this change of
front. and this refusal to appear
against the accused, the answer
was “For business reasons”
Those three words explain why
it is that in every community,
violators of the law are allowed
to go unmolested. Citizens
know the law is violaters, know
full well who is violated are, but
refuse to arraign them before the
bar of justice, “For business
reasons.”

The unthinking in Chicago.
like the unthinking in other large
cities. foresaw in the advent of
the Columbian Exposition a great
boom for the workingincn. But
they did not look beiieatli the
surface. The boom arrived on
time. but disaster followed close-
ly. Thousands of workingmen
of various trades flocked to Chi-
cago froiii all points. in eager
search of the money which was
to be disbursed.

At the. present time the labor

Farmers’ Institutes and Their

Dates.

The list of Institutes for the
winter is. with one exception,
completed. They are arranged.
for convenience of attendance. in
series of four each, in contiguous
territory, to occupy a week. the
first beginning on Monday even-
ing and closing on Tuesday even-
ing; the second beginning on
Tuesday evening and closing
I-Vednesday evening. and so on,
the last. one closing on lfriday
evening.

One half the force from the
College will open the Institutes.
leaving the next day to open the‘
second. while the other half!
comes on to be in attendansve un-
til the close. In this way the
funds appropriated by the State
for Institute. work are more eco-
nomically expended and the labor
divided eipnilly and expended
eti:'ectively.

The first series begins January
lfitli. at Wayland. in Allegan (.‘-o..
and is followed by Howard City.
Reed City and Harbor Springs.
The second series will be held on
the same dates, and are located
at Clio, Lapeer, Mayville and
Abbottsford.

The third series include the
following places and will be held
the week beginning January 25th:
Nashville, Grattan, Ionia and St.
Johns.

The fourth series will begin
February 1st. and include Sher-
wood. in Branch county, Carey,
Cass county, and St-urgis——-the
fourth not yet located. but is open
for applications, which should be
within l8 to :35 miles from one of
the places named.

The fifth series will open Feb.

out. The fodder now occupies
less than half the space it would
in the bundle, and the unpleasant
task of handling in the mangers
is all done away with. Every-
thing is shredded into strips, and
much more will be eaten by stock
than could be expected under
usual conditions of feeding stalks.
The refuse left in the mangers
makes excellent bedding for the
animals, and is a better absorbent
than straw,

The difference between the fod-
der housed dry. as it is. and that
stacketl or standing through a
three days’ rain, such as we have
_iust experienced. is so manifestly
in favor of threshing, and tli1'esli-
ing early. that every farmer can
appreciate, it.

It took about (if. hours to 1'un
the crop through the thresher. at
a cost of $1.25 per hour for the
outfit and three men. The cost
to have run the whole 23:") acres
through, unhusked, would not
have exceeded one-third more.
and in a favorable season like
this. is the most expeditious and
cheapest method of securing the
corn crop.

Grange and Alliance in Texas.
The Master of Texas State

Grange, John B. Long. has made

a proposition to Evan Jones,

President of the State Alliance,

to argue the sub-treasury plans

which the Alliance favors and
approves. in the Texas Farmer
and in Southern Mercury. the re-
spective organs of the Grange
and Alliance. We append an ex-

tract from the letter of Master.

Long and an extract fronz. the
reply by President Jones:

"In conserpience of the exist-
ing difference between the Alli-
ance and Grange on the sub-
treasury o_uestion. and the facts
before stated. and the belief that
it can only be settled by due dc-
liberation on the part of the peo-
ple. I take the privilege of sug-
gesting that the question be dis-
cussed through the Southern
Mercury and Texas Farmer, both
papers agreeing to publish in
full both sides. This strikes me
as the best means and only
method whereby the least fric-
tion may be had, and yet the
merits claimed, and the demerits
offered. may be duly represent-
ed.”—~John B. Long.

Reply of President Jones:

"In view of the fact that the
State Grange has. in its official
capacity. denounced the princi-
ples of the sub treasury plan, and
the Farmers’ State Alliance of
Texas has unanimously endorsed
it. I, as the executive head of the
Farmers‘ Alliance in Texas, in
my humble opinion would be rec-
reant to the trust confided in me
if I should attempt to form any
combination that will in the least
compromise the organization.
Consequently, I am under the

rlth, at or in the vicinity of Hills- 1,
dale: then Church Corners, Bell-'
ville and Bell Branch—the lastl
two in Wayne count-y.

The preliminary arrangements
of the second series will be under
the direction of Prof. E. A. Bur-
nett. of the College; the third
under the direction of P. G. Hol-
den, also of the College, and the
first, fourth and fifth series will
be arranged by the editor of this
paper. All communications from
these places should be addressed
to the respective managers, who
will select the addresses to be
presented from the College, and
help to make the program. No-
tices will be sent to the author-
ized party at each place, when
the manager will meet the citizens

to arrange the preliminaries.

unpleasant necessity of declining
your proposit1on."—Evan Jones.
The concluding paragraphs of
the editorial comment in Texas
Farmer are as follows:
Not to worry the reader, the
status of the open letters is this:
Mast-er Long challenged the

Alliance for a discussion, willing
for members of the Grange to be
subjected to the tremendous logic
of sub—treasury advocates. Pres-
ident Jones and the Mercury
crowd decline because they dare
not subject the unposted people
who are following them to the
light of truth and facts which the
Grange can throw upon their
schemes and schemers.

It is a square backdown of
which men with less gall would
be ashamed.

The people at large, however,
will understand it.

We should like to meet a large

the State Grange, to convene. in
Lansing on Deceml)er Hth. This
sessioii will furnish opportunity
for those who have never visited
the Capitol to look it over. The

men. and offer their services
freely to visitors who desire to
look the building over. The ses-

and the occasion is a good one to

The Lansing State Journal cop-

 A Rally Day.
 Masters Otticc. Michigan State
‘Grange: lVe heartily commend
the suggestions of the Lecturer
of the State Grange and the
editor of this paper to make Dec.
4th a great rallying day to every
member of the Grange in Mich-
igan.

It is the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of the ()1'der. Printed or
written invitations should be sent
every person who has once been
a member. within reach of a live
.=Grange. whether of that jurisdic-
tion or in the district or a dor-
mant or dead Grunge. Keep
alive Grange faith. Show what
‘the Grange has done and is do-
-ing. Invite them to come, back.
If a strong G1'ange is near a weak
one, join forces. .pe1-haps.

Put on the program those per-
isons who ought to be developed.
inot the time-worn servers who
5 are always ready to talk any way.
1‘ Debate /ii-vsul)jccts. Let us move
j forward solidly for a missionary

Tovcr the State for the winter.
iLet us aim for new members add-
jed to our lists: old members
J brought in: ourselves rc—cnthused
.'for the work: and subscriptions
‘procured for the Visitor.

A general fault in our work is
that program-work is too often
deferred until the new ofticers
are elected and installed. By the
time they are fitted to their duties
the season is well under way and
several valuable meetings lost to
all but routine work. This should
be avoided by a foresightcd ac-
tion taken now.

Much is said now-adays about
tonics for men, tonics for horses.
and every other species of do-
mesticated stock, but the idea is
based upon false premises and an
abbreviated idea of the animal
economy. If a man or an animal
of any other description is "off
his feed." a tonic to stimulate an
appetite is deemed necessary.
whilst nature exhibits the very
opposite. From the stomach
comes nine-tenths of the disor-
ders incident to man and beast.
and a rest given to that impor-
tant organ is evidently what is
called for when one is off his
feed. At such a time, then, dis-
pense with your stimulating ton-
ics. give tired nature the rest it
demands, and recuperation will
respond much more readily and
infinitely more effectively.

I only in a region which has a,

mean temperature of seventy de— }
grees Fah. for three months of?
summer. 1

Such a summer temperature isj
found in a belt of country lying?
one hundred miles on each side:
of New York City. running up,-
the Hudson to Albany. thence;
westward through Cleveland. Chi- ’
cago and St. Paul. thence south-
ward and westward through Col-
orado and New Mexico to the;
Pacific coast. and along that coast 3
to Oregon and Washington. In;
this belt there is an immense and’
fruitful region. but not all thcl
territory within it is suited toj
raising the sugar beet. because!
the rainfall is in much of it citliorj
insufficient or not even enoughzl
but there is. too. :1 good deal of;
country outside the belt wherc-.|‘
owing to local (lillcrences in thcl
climate. the right conditions for‘
the sugar beet will be found.

American farmt-rs. when they
introduce the cultivation of the
sugar beet in good earnest. will
have the benefit of all the costly
experience of the Old World. If
they avail themselves of the as-
sistance of science. they may sur-
pass the products of the Old
World in this respect as much 
they have done in many other
respects.

They will have. however. a
hard task to surpass the thor-
ough methods of the European
cultivator. A single fact well il-
lustrates the methods of the Old
World farmer. who looks for his
profits to his own efforts more
than to nature‘s friendly aid:

The French government, being
in need of added revenue. and
having already taxed the process
of manufacturing sugar from
beets. placed a tax upon the beet
itself. The farmers. finding that
to raise more boots meant more
taxation, set about getting more
sugar without increasing the
number of beets.

By heightening their cultiva-
tion. they succeoded in greatly
increasing: the richness of the
Brabant beet, which was their
favorite variety, thus turning an
oppressive government edict into
an advantage.

In the operations of the French
farmer and gardener, indeed. na
ture seems to play a small part
compared with man's efforts. The
tenant gardener of the region
about Paris generally brings with
him. when he hires a piece of
ground, all the soil that he uses,
and when he gives up his land.
he takes the soil away with him.

Now. a few words to our brotl1-
crs and sisters:

Are we doing what we can to
sustain the (lrangc \-'isitor‘.’ and
do we contribute to its columns
ac it was designed we should?
We have said repeatedly. "Why
is it that our brothers and sisters
neglect writing for our beloved
Visitor‘."" Can it be for lack of
time or disposition that we do
not write? Perhaps some of you
are, like myself. getting too old.
and not quite up to the times in a
literary point of view. Be that
as it may. we know there are a
host of able writers in our ranks
who should deem it a privilege.
and a duty also. to assist in mak-
ing the Visitor one of the best
Grange papers published. VVO
do not want our worthy editor to
think we are dissatisfied with his
management. for we think he
publishes an excellent paper and
one that should interest every
thinking farmer in our land. We
like his plain. outspoken ways in
dealing with important questions,
and all that. but it occurs to me
that if our brothers and sisters
could be induced to write more
for the Visitor it would create
more of a fraternal feeling in our
Order than now seems to exist.
I do not expect to write much.
but just often enough to let you
know I am alive.

VVe have made these few sug-
lfcstions in good faith and for the
good of the Grder.

Yours. fraternally.

“Aunt Kate“ again to our col-

but We are glad to learn that her
faith in the Grange has not waned
or her zeal for its labors lessen-

ever were, full of lively interest
and encouragement. We trust
she will come more frequently in
the future. and that her coming
may induce others to follow her
example. that our paper may
abound in cheery. helpful notes
from our patrons.-EI). ]

 

Branch County Pomona Grange.

Branch Co. Pomona Grange
met with Gilead Grange on the
5th of November. The weather
was fine and there was a fair at-
tendance. The reports from sub-
ordinate Granges were encourag-
ing. All seemed to have the
same encouraging hope for the
future. A baby show was the-
principal attraction of the after-
noon session. The productive-
ness of Gilead soil is well known,
but 1 891 exceeds all former years
in its crop of babies. It is re-
ported on good authority that
nineteen such residents may be
counted within a few miles of
Gilead Grange Hall. The babies
and their mammas (and such
other small children as could be
secured for the occasion) were
arranged in tableau form at one
end of the hall. When the cur-
tain was drawn remarks were in
order. and ex—Gov. Luce being
called out. commenced by saying
“Now. children, I want you to
keep still." Then. turning to the
audience, he said, “I have no

Woman's Work at the Columbian '
Exposition.

HH.1.sn.\Li-1. Nov. 1. lwl.

As members of the Michigan
Board of \Vorld‘s Fair Managers.
it becomes our pleasant. duty to
extend greeting to the women of
our state.

To us has been assigned the
important task of collecting an
exhibit of the work of the women
of Michigan. and we have consid-
ered it advisable to address you
at this early (late. stating briefly
what we wish to do. and (-a1'11(-st-
ly inviting your co-operation in
the work which wc have under-
taken. Encouraged b_y your warm
sympathy and intelligent aid. we
will go forward sure of success:
without it our best elforts will
prove unavailing.

For the first time in .-\.mcricun
history. the l'uited Stittcs gov-
ernment has given the women of
its broad domain ollicial recogni-
tion and financial aid. Our state
government has l)c(-I1 no less lib-
eral. thereby according us every
opportunity for fair and just rcp-
roscntation at the Worlds ( ‘olmn-
bian Exposition in l>~".l3i.

Let us recog11i7.o and improve
this magnificent opportunity. rc-
memboring also that thoday is
approaching when the religious.
moral. social. industrial and in-
tellectual status of the women of
Michigan will he a-rra-ym'l in coin-
parison with the corresponding
status of the women of the world.
and particularly with the women
of every state and territory in
the Union. It therefore becomes
us at this time to unite the forces
of hand, heart and brain. and
with one accord move forward in
harmonious and diligent action.

At the Columbia-n Exposition
we desire to exhibit first-class
specimens of the skill. ingenuity
and patient industry of the wo-
men of our state.

Already women are asking the
question. “What shall we do for
the VVorld's Fair'."‘ Let us pre-
pare the best samples of our
work, in whatever line we excel.
never forgetting that it is the ex-
cellent quality of these samples.
and not the quantity. by which
we will be j udgcd.

The exhibits of our work in ‘$93;
will not be assigned a separate
place. They will stand side by
side with similar articles from all
parts of the world, not in com-
parison with the work of women
only,.but with the work of men
also. We are not striving to com-
pete with men. but rather to
prove our ability for intelligent
co-operation with them in the
high standard of excellence which
their work has attained.

In order to promote the inter-
ests of bread-winning women, and
to encourage them to new and
larger fields of operation. it be-
comes necessary to make more
generally known the various lilies
of industry in which women may
find congenial and profitable em-
ployment.

With this grand purpose in
view, the Worlds Columbian
Commission agree that every
manufactured article placed on
exhibition shall bear some device
indicating woman‘s share in its
production.

The chief of the Bureau of In-

Q docs not enter.

stallation has caused to be print-

one or more women on "All com

lniittees authorized to award pri-
‘zes for exhibits which may be

produced wholly or in part by
female labor.“

A careful examination into the
classi’ricati0n adopted by the Na-
tional (,‘ommissiOn reveals the
fact that tln-re are few depart-
ments into which woman‘s labor
Herein lies the
grand opportunity for all women
engaged in the industries and
arts. since much

will be brought into prominence
and obtain the recognition it

lmcrits.

It is important that 1-\‘o1'_\' in-

jdustry curried on by women in

the state he rcprcsontcd: also.
that we sccuro tine specimens of
allnianufacturcd articles in lllo
production of which woman‘s la-
bor has contributed cithcra great
or small share. \Vo tlicrcforc
earnestly retpicst all manufact ur-
ers to give the women in their
employ every possible opportu-
nity for the o.\'0l‘cisc of original-
ity and artistic skill in the pro-
duction of fine articles for the
Michigan Exhibit.

It is also desirable to present
at the (Jolumbian Exposition sta-
tistics that will give evidence of
woman's influence in the mental
and moral advancement of our
state. and to exhibit such objects
as will serve to illustrate her
share in the development of its
natural and material welfare.

We cannot let this opportunity
pass without an appeal to rich
women for the substantial aid
and encouragcment they may ren-
dcr poor women of skill and in-
dustry who. in many instances.
will not be able to furnish suita-
blc niaterial whcrcwith to em-
body beautiful spccimi-ns of their
genius and art.

placing o-.;rsclvos in communica-
tion with women who are work-
ing in unusual lines. \Vcdcsirc

dially invite correspondcnco with
women who contclnplatc the
preparation of exliibits: also with
societies and organi7.atio1is ol'
women, asking the helpful aid of
their suggostitms in regard to
the best methods of advancing

the interests of the-ir particular;

line.

Our close proximity to (‘hiczt
go. and the anticipated reduction
of railroad rates. will enable us
to make frequent visits to the
World‘s Fa.ir. and in order to de-
rive benefit from these visits it is
essential that we approach this
great school of learning as inter-
ested and intelligent observers.

For this reason we heartily en-
dorse the recommendation of the
National Board of Lady Manag-
ers in regard to the formation of
classes throughout the state for
the study of American history
and of such of the arts and sci-
ences as will prepare us fora
clearer conception and a better
understanding of the inventions
and products which we will see
and have an opportunity to in-
\‘&!!~}l.l_.*,"‘-.lt(*.

Uur grand army of women
teachers will be quick to compro-
hcnd the great pleasure and
profit which their pupils will dc-
rive from froq'r_ent talks on Na-
tional and VVorl(l's Fair topics.
thus preparing them. in accord-
ance with their years. to under-
stand something of the splendid
panorama in which they will see
the nations of the world as living
actors.

The organization of local com-
mittees. which will soon be ef-
fected iu every section of the
state. will prepare us for syste-
matic work.

The importance of these local
committees. and the responsibili-
ties assumed by the women ap-
pointed to preside over the same,
is apparent-.

They are the medium through
which must be disseminated in
every city. town. village and
community all essential informa.-
tion relative to Woman’s Work at
the Columbian Exposition.

They are also the channels
through which we must go in
search of that all important fac-
tor, individual effort, and upon

of their work-

An Autumn Day.
(i). illlflllllll «lay, you are so fair,
\Vitli peace in earth and sky and air.
It scents the best life of the year
That is mitspread about me here-—
Like a full draft of rarest wine.
Rich with the life-blood of the vine.

Sweet autumn day! I see afar

The blue peaks where the mountains are;
Like something born of vagucst dreams
The far-off hills’ high summit seems.
\‘\/rapped round with haze of purple tint,
Through which the golden sunbeains glint.

The sounds of life are faint and few;
A brown thrush flies athwart the blue
()f this most fair autumnal sky,

And some late bees drone slowly by;
And from afar, as echoes come.

I hear a partridge beat his drum.

The torches of the Golden Rod
Light up ;i leaf-bespritikled sod,
And purple: asters, shy as sweet.
Arc blowing at the siinmcli‘s feet.

Woman's Influence in the World.

lllssziy read by ‘.\li.s. ll. G. llolt. nt .1 Hi! i-ting of
Krill l’oinon.'i (jr.iii|.:c, lllflll at Rockloril, (lct
ii, i.‘xoi.l

What is influence? Webster
says that “influence is to control
or move by hidden but eflicacious
power. physical or moral: to affect
by gentle action; to exert an in
lluencc upon; to move or per-
suade, to lead or direct."

Ever since our first parents
lived in the Garden of Eden,
woman's influence, as well as
man's, has come down through
the ages and made the world
what it is today.

We have been taught. to believe
that in one instance. at least. the
influence of our Motner Eve was
for evil. which has been as far-
rcacliing as the waves of the
ocean.

From the history of the past.
and our knowledge of the pros-
mit. we are certain that illfluonco
in the w rong direction is as power-
ful as in the right; but today we
will consider only some of’ tho
opporttitiitics that women liavc
for good in the world. In (loing
so. we will occasionally glance at
ii few of the names that shino
likcs1.'.ir.s' on the pages of history.

A woman of extraordinary nerve
and piety was born in Ireland in

734. She earlly came under the
infiucnce of Wesley and his fol-
lowers. the settlement in which
she resided forming some of the
strongest Methodist societies in
the kingdom. In 1860 she emi-
grated. with her husband and
others. to New York. Here they
appear to have lapsed for a
period from their Wesleyan
usages: but this good woman.
whose name was Barbara Heck.
recalled them to a sense of their
duty. and gathered a little con-
gregation: 1101' did she relax in
her exertions till she saw the
famous old John Street M. E.
church erected. and witnessed
its dedication in October. 170$-.<.
When the \Vesleyan preachers

arrived to take charge of the’

John St. society and the edifice.
which was the first of its denom-
ination in America. she removed
with her friends to Northern
New York. where they founded
several Methodist societies. As
their efforts were crowned with
the most triumphant success, they
removed to Upper Canada, where
they settled finally, and founded
their denomination upon a sure
and certain basis. In 1804, hav-
ing finished her good work, this
noble Woman laid down the cross
to take up the crown. in the 70th
year of her age. Barbara Heck
is called the ‘ ‘Foundress of Amer-
ican Methodism.”

For loyalty and bravery, where
can be found a. more brilliant ex-
ample than Joan of Arc, Who, at
the age of 17, placed herself at
the head of the French troops
and inspired them with such ardor
and enthusiasm that they gained
several important victories? This
young girl became the dread of

ithe previously triumphant Eng-f

flish. and compelled them to raise
the siege of Orleans. But as
most of you are doubtless familiar
with the story of her life and
death, we will recall for a ino-
ment the noble self-sacrifice of
another sister, equally as brave.
but who. instead of leading the
troops followed in the rear, as a
Sister of Mercy.

Brave Florence Nightingale!
The fir.s-/ of a long line of noble
women who have left home and
friends to minister to the needs
of the sick and wounded soldiers.
Who can estimate the results of
such labor and devotion?

There are some names of our
American sisters that bring with
them suggestions of lofty
thoughts. inspiring words and
noble actions. Prominent among
them is that of Mrs. Mary A.
Livcrmore. As an organizer. she
])().s‘S(.‘.s‘.‘5('s rare ability. which was
brought into action by the civil
war. She did excellent work in
the Sanitary (Jommission. both
in the field and in the nortlii,-rn
cities. Shc is an eloquent speak-
or. and an able writer on l(‘.lll])(!l‘-

social qut-.s‘tions.

Not time alone. but eternity.
will tell of the good done by the
noble band of Christian Temper-
ance \Vomon. with Francis E.
Willard at the head. Although
they have been laughed at and
despised by many. and denounced
 fanatics. there is no question
but that many valuable lives have
been saved from moral wreck and
ruin. to say nothing of the homes
that have been rescued from pov-
erty and degradation through
their influence. Miss Willard re-
signed the position of Dean of the
North-western University to be-
come President of the W. C. T. U..
and is one of the most active and
successful orators on the subject
of temperance.

American women have reason
to be proud of such leaders, and
of the position they have obtained
in scientific. literary or philan-
thropic pursuits.

Our ininistcr preached a tem-
; poranco sermon last Sunday even-
jing. in which he rclatetl an ii1ci-
ldvnt which had come under his
own personal observation. A
young man of his acquaintance.
who lived in Indianapolis. was a
d riinkzird. He came home in tox-
icated one night. as usual. and
sat down in a chair. His mother
came to him and. kneeling by his
side. began to pray for him. The
words did not affect him much——
he was so drunk; but presently
he saw his mother sink down
upon the floor: He staggered
to her. and lifting her. said:
“Mother, are you sick?" His
anxiety for her sobered him some-
what. and to his horror he soon
discovered that she was «lead. He
has not drank a drop from that
;day to this, but has devoted his
flifo to the cause of temperance.
‘That christian mot-hcr gave her
life for her son; but who can say
that her influence may not live
forever.

There is no public place where
women may work to better ad-
vantage than in the educational
field. They make faithful and
eflicient teachers. as a rule. and
fill, successfully, all the grades.
from the Kindergarten to Univer-
sity work. I have yet to hear of
a lady teacher who uses tobacco,
or countenances its use among
herpupils; and I believe very few
would use slang phrases, or allow
swearing by the pupils to go un-
rebuked.

I also firmly believe that when
women avail themselves of the
privilege they now possess of
voting on school questions, there
Will be more than three or four
present ata school meeting, and
that the number of school months
in the year will not be reduced
from nine months to six months,
as was done by at least one dis-
trict in this county at the last
school meeting.

I do not pretend, by any means,
to have exhausted the list of op-

ance. woman sull'rage. and other

portunities that women possess

jof exerting an influence in the
‘world.

I have only made a be-
ginning. Yet I realize there is a
limit to your patience. and that
there are others you would like
to hear from; but as there is one
domain that I would award the
highest place of all. I cannot
close my essay without giving a
few lines to its consideration.
Thus you will infer that it has
not been left till the last. because
it is deemed the least important,
but to give it greater prominence.
That place is the lunar. What
grand opportunities has the
mother to mould the minds and
characters of her children. and
fit them for the future work of
life. How many great and good
men have testified that they owed
all that they were to the influence
of a devoted and self-sacrificing
wife or motlii-r?

Who can tell how many men
and women owe their education
to the selfdenial and ecomomy of
some loving mother, who over-
came all obstacles to keep them
in school.

To make an ideal home, it is
true, requires the united efforts
of both father and mother, and
the closest sympathy with each
other in the care and education
of the children: yet I think all
will admit that it is the woman
who gives the finishing touches.
and keeps the thousand and one
little things running smoothly.

Woman's Work.

VVoman‘s VVork in the Grange
is the saine to-day  it has been
since its first organization—any-
thing and everything there is to
do. No part they may not take.
no position they may not fill.
either in Subordinate. County,
State or National. Neither do I
believe that the committee on
VVoman’s Work was appointed
first by the National, then by the
State and Subordinate Granges.
because we had not been faithful
workers in this fruitful field, but
through a. wise forethought and
kindness, realizing that this Or-
der, which has done so much al-
ready for us, was capable of do-
ing still greater things if we
could only be brought to see the
possibilities that were within our
reach. Work. so that
our work may, by its very excel-
lence, be a. help and inspiration
to others. Work, so that no mat-
ter how humble it may seemingly
be it will be good and acceptable
in His sight who created the
world and us to Work therein. It
might be Well to look over the
field and see what work Women
are doing in the Grange to-day.
In attendance, I think they fully

if our-

equal the men: in tlisciissioiis. do
not think they take as active a
part as the brothers: in literary
work believe they do. In official.
although not doing half’. they are,
steadily gaming. .2
In short, Women's Work in thel
.Gra.nge is the same as women'sl
1work the world over, to makei
sunshine. to scatter seeds of love 5
land charity. to dispel doubts and 
;fears. and bravely put her hand?

lpeople, who do not only proclaim
;that all men and women are cre-
‘ated equal. but live it. So. my

No Pocket.

l I usually submit to the dccr<-cs
of fashion. if not with grace. at
least with proper resignation,
but when the fickle goddess robs
us of the one skirt pocket, to
which we were clinging like a
drowning man to a straw. I rebel.
A man can and does have from
twelve to sixteen pockets in
every stilt, but all the receptacle
that is left to woman is her watch
pocket. and that is often so in-
conveniently placed that she does
not consult her watch, even
though she is anxious to know of
the flight of time. I know some
ladies who do not keep their
watches wound. because it is so
much trouble to get at them for
use that they are worn solely
for ornament.

I/Vith the piesciit f'ashions a
woman needs to be like one of the
lieathon gods of which xvi: all
have Sfltjtt pictures. with four
‘arms and liands on czicli sido.
l Wlion she walks to church tln.-so
ifino mornings slic uiust carry ll('l'
glong. trailing skirt with one hand
land her largo silk iinibrolla
spread with thcotlior. then wli.-rc.
jpray you. are the hands to carry
her fan. Bible and quarterly for
zsunday school. the case for her
lglasses, liandkerchicf. and the

iever-iieeclcd purse for the cl111rcl1
and Sunday school collections‘:
I have vainly sought to solve the
problcm. The handkerchief can
be tucked under the basque, mak-
ing an unsightly little bulge on
one side. and with great risk of
losing the same. and the money
can go inside the glove of the
loft hand. so that the cordial
;hand-shaker may not discover
your poor subterfuge, but woe to
you if the minister calls for an
extra collection for the heathen.
.I sotnctiines wonder if they suffer
j more witliout clothes than we do
;'without pockets. But after all.

 no pocket at all is about as well .

as those so far in the rear of the
skirt that one was always in dan-
ger of crushing the contcnts. and
was obliged to go through very
ungraceful and, sometimes. un-
successful contortions when sit-
ting in church and seeing the
collection box coming nearer,
while her most frantic efforts
failed to make connection with
the right plait that would lead to
the mysteriously hidden pocket.
The ever present “bag" goes
with us on week days, but would
not be permissible on Sundays,
and it really seems to me that we
were never before such slaves to
fashion. Aman, with the lack
of knowledge of feminine attire
for which they are noted, said
the other day: “Well. if I want-
ed a pocket I’d have one. if other
ladies didn't.” Poor man, he did
not know, as we do, that there is
no place for one; and the case is
hopeless, until some plait or
gather, or tuck, or frill, is al-
lowed, unless the highly orna-
imented patch-pocket of twelve

or fiftcoii yeai's ago should sw op
down upon us: but aiiytliing that
will "hold things" will be wel-
comed by El. See. Michigan

often and leave them for others
to break? Hoarding, grasping
saving, pinching~for into some
vases go moneys instead of love.
and not until we are gone from
earth are these vases of ours
broken. Then, above our still
forms, there is squabbling and
discontent—above our deaf ears
the din of disagreement and if
the power to look upon mortality
be given us we shall certainly
wonder at our own unwisdom in
leaving that which we might so
acceptably have given, with great
joy to ourselves while we were
yet able to command the break-
ing of the vase. '

Break your vases now, for ye
know not what to—morrow will
bring!—-Mrs. S. in Free Press.

yellow straw hats, mushroom-

All carry staffs. and wear their
robes well girded up so as to
leave free the lower limbs. which
are inclosed in white cotton leg»
gings of a peculiar and inde-
scribable kind. Precisely the
same sort of costume was worn
by the same class of travelers
many centuries ago; and just as
you now see them trooping by.—
whole families wandering togeth-
er. the pilgrim child clinging to
the father’s hand.——s0 may you
see them pass in quaint proces-
