any kind for the spring sowing and plant-

money and unable to procure lo:ins to help
ourselves, we are truly in a bad way. and
as we view the situation, our fariners must,
have assistance from the outside in order
to live and hold their possessions in this
beautiful. healthy, fertile country.

The help most needed from now on is
provisions, seeds for sowing and planting.

You must remember, however, that our

consequently it is much worse with us than
it would be with you who live in an older

The Township Unit System.

('irculars anal petitions coinin_:_=' from

senate bill No. my and urging members to
work against the township r-1_\'s'lt‘iii have
been widely circulated throuf_='hout the cap-
itol. The circular is in error in some re-
spects. inasmucli as it refers to some pro-
visions which are not in the bill nor ever
favorably considered by the originators of
the bill. Seiiatc Hill No. tit? refers to an-
other question entirely and it seems unwise
and unfair for :in org:ini7.ation of the high
standing of the .\licliigan State (iniiigeto
protest iigaiiist the passage of a bill which
they have had no opportunity to e.\':uiiinc.
The circular speaks of the township dis-
tricts in Alpena county in this state, and
the inference is that they are unsatisfactory,
but the member of the legislature froiii
that county who resides in’ one of tliese
townships approves of the systeiii and has
introduced :1 bill to orgaiiize two other
township districts in his legislativedistrict.
The tcstiinoii_v of citi7.(‘iis' of states now
having the township system is iicai'lv
unanimous in its favor, I notwithstanding
the statements contained in the circular.

An intelligent and iiuich respected mem-
ber of tlie(irange from one of the best
counties of the state recently came to the
capitol to work against the inicasure. He
asked for a copy of the bill, examined it
carefully and frankly admitted that the
system is a correct one, and that no men
or bodies of men have the right to stand
in the way of a township in any locality in
the state where citizens would “certainly be
benetitted by a system which will insure
uniform taxation, uniform text books.

By the provisions of this bill there is no
chance for villages or cities to compel
country territory to organize with them
into township districts. Fractional dis-
tricts will not prevent such organization.
neither will their school houses necessarily

be located on one side of the township dis-

New Wheats for Michigan.

Sonic Experiineiits “'itii Flour Testers.
_ Abstract ofapapcr read at the \'erinontvill¢- furinr-in-'
institute by Dr. R. t‘. Kcdzie.

The Michigan iiiillers have been seeking
a better quality of winter wheat and espec-
ially of white wheat, and have asked the
co—operation of the Agricultural (‘ollege in
finding it. Micliigan is eiiiiiientl_v a winter
wheat state. lt is in the winter wheat
belt.

On the other hand the farniers are look-
ing for whcats with sufficient vigor to witli-
stand winter killing by frost and summer
killing by rust_. which shall produce a large
nuiiibci' of bushels per acre, and both far-
mers and inillers demand a "blooded"
wheat.

Some will say that this is a poor time to
urge high culture for wheat that brings
but 50 cents a bushel. lint wheat is the
food of civilized races and will be raised
while the i'acc lasts. It is just such a de-
pression as this that demands the most pro-
ductive and liiglicst pi'iccd wheat. If 1.?
bushels an acre entails a loss, :-Io busliels
will give a profit, even at .'iUceiits:i bushel.
It is the excess above ordinar_v crops that
always pays the profit.

THE SI-IAR('H FUR wiirri: Wlll<IA'l'.

The trial of wheat grown on the l’acific
coast was suggested, but the marked dif-
ference in climate from that of .\licliigan
discouraged that idea. .\ wheat that had
succeeded in the same cliniate and in
a soil similar to our own seemed more
promisiiig. \Ve tried to get seed of the
Landreth, so favorably known in .\cl,ii'aska.
but the di'oiitli in that state prevented our
securing it. Attention was called to l)aw-
son’s Golden Chalf by bulletins from the
Ontario agricultural college. The great liar-
diness of the wheat, the large production
-35 bushels per :it'l't‘,—/tllltl the high esteem
in which it was held by (‘anadian farmers.
all called attention to it. It is a b:ild
wheat. and therefore a favorite. It has
driven other wiiitei' wheat outof that section
of Ontario about Paris, where it originated
nine years ago, and is spreading into the
states. After three years’ testing at the
experiment station at Guelph. (i)ntario.
they report: “l)awson's Golden (,'liafi' has
made the best i'ecord of all varieties of wiii-
ter wheat tested in the c-xperimental de-
partment. “

i<i~:i) \\'iir:A'i‘s.

A number of valuable varieties of red
wheat have been grown in this state. l’ar-
ticular attention is directed the Rudy for
its large, flinty berry, which yields a vcr_v
strong Hour. The most serious objection
to the Rudy is that it is heavily bearded.

The lhidapest wheat. imported. is a
very hard. flint. red wheat. lt pi-oduces
the highest pi'iced flour in Europe. (hie
crop has been raised at.Grand Rapids from
iinpoi'ted seed, and unlike many imported
wheats, seeins to be full_v up to the origin-
al stock.

The Currell is a red wheat, bald, and is
the brag wheat of Kansas, both for quality
and productiveness. The. berry is small,
but very hard and flinty. and altliougli a
dark red wheat, makes a fine, white flour.
If the L‘-urrell shall prove to be welladapted
to our soil and climate, it is by far the
most. ironiising red winter wheat now be-
fore tlie public.

The most obvious method of testing
wheat flour is to make it into brea l and
then test the quality of the bread. lint
this is too slow and cuinbcrsoiiie a method
for scientific use.

Tne next method is a clieiiiical analysis
of the flour. This is the most valuable of
the secondary tests. The food value of a
flour can be determined with accuracy by
chemical analysis, but the bread making
quality is not determined solely by clieiii—
ical analysis. While the albuininoidsliave
essentially the same food value, they differ
in their dough forming qualities.

STRENGTH or FLOUR.

The strength of flour has been defined to
be the iiieasure of the water absorbed by
the flour in order to produce a dough of
definite consistency; but I think it is its
gas retaining rather than its water absorb-
ing capacity. Strong flour should make
dough that will retain the bubbles of car-
bonic acid so as to make light bread.

METHODS OF DETERMINING STRENGTH OF
FLOUR.

First comes the aleurometer,which meas-
ures the strength of flour by the expansion
secured by heating its wet gluten to 150
degrees Cent. in a closed cylinder. But
this device is not wholly satisfactory.

There are three classes of instruments
that make some approach to the possibility
of repeating the experiment with compar-
able results, and with a chance for numer-
ical statement of results.

1. Doughing with definite quantities of
flour’ and Water and measuring the strength
of the dou h instrumentally.

2. DougTiing with definite amounts of
flour and water, and baking the dough in

Swine for Profit.
A. ii. w,ii:nr..\'.

A great deal has been written on this
sub_icct and it iuay be a worn out one to
those who have been breeding for a iiuiii-
ber of years, but there are always new
men starting, and in hope that this article
may be of use to some of them and of no
iii_iui'y to older breeders. I give it to you
for publication.

\\'e iiiay have a breed of the very best
hogs, food may be plenty and cheap, mar-
ket may be liaiid_v, and _vet raise feed and
sell our porkers without realizing scarcely
any profit from the transaction to conipeii-
sate us for our care. toil and money ex-
pended, wliile our neighbor, with no better
opportunities, perhaps not so good, de-
rives a liandsoine profit from this branch
of his farm operations. \Vliy do we find
this to be true! It is better nianageineiit
and striking while the iron is hot that tells
the tale. The hog is like a man, if he is
not good and improving he is rctrogradiiig
and going to the bad.
or middle ground upon which he can stand.
Now many farniers, and I believe a few
breeders, have not as yet. learned this les-
son. hence their science feeding benefits
tlieiu but little if any; they fail to eiiibrace
their opportunities as they should.

G01 )l) l{I.( )()l).

Good blood is very essential to profitable
pork making.

here. he must be able to digest and assim-
ilate the large amount of food consuiiied,
thus converting the elements contained in
the food into bone, muscle, and fat.

.\l:uiy are apt to place too iiiiicii depen-
dence upon the breed and blood, expecting
that blood will tell. no matter what kind
of treatmeiit their hogs ai'e siibjectcd to.
This is all a mistake; if you are going to
neglect and half starve your hogs, by all
means stick to the scrub, he is used to neg-
lect and starvatioii, and if you fail to feed
him he’ll put his best foot foremost and
liustlc for it on his own hook.

l“}‘Il*IDlI\'(.}.

The proper time to begin to feed for
profitable pork is while the pigs are fol-
lowing the sow. Feed her libei'ally, after
the pigs are a few days old.witli milk pro-
ducing food, and as soon as the pigs can
be induced to eat from a trough, usually when
about three weeks old, give them all the
milk. ground oats. iiiiddlings, and bran
that they will eat up clcaiifalwavs pro-
vided in a separate apartment friiiii the
inother. l)on‘t keep the sow and pigs
cooped up in a close pen. but let them
have the run of a pasture lot. clover if you
have it, as this is the best green feed that
grows for hogs.

‘When you wean the pigs take the mother
out of the lot and let the pigs run in
their usual place; feed them at least three
times a day all the feed they will eat, also
 water and plenty

March and April pigs should be crowded
so they-'_ will be ready for market before
the holidays. A bushel of corn will pro-
duce more pounds of pork in warm weather
than in cold. As the average farm is ar-
ranged, it does not pay to winter over
many pigs, Get good stock, have early
pigs, push them from the start by feeding
well, fatten in the fall before cold weather
sets in, and be sure and keep a good supply
for your own use and you will find, take
it one year with another, that there is more
profli(tLiIn swine liaising than in any other
stoc cpt on t e farm.

Moments in the Garden.

which can be obtained of almost any of

make the bed all in one. Make a frame

Forestry in New Hampshire.

The forestry cominission of New llaiiip-
shire began work in June, 18$):-3, and its
first annual report has recently been issued,
and though caiiiprising only twelve print-
ed octavo pages, is all the better for
being concise. The objects sought by
First,
to obtain a.cciirate inforiiiation regarding
the forests of the state, the rate and method
of their removal, and the resulting effects,
economic, social and cliiuatic: second, to sc-
cure public tlisciissioii of forestry interests.
For the aceoniplishiiieiit of the first of
these objects. it was the purpose of the
coiiiinission to investigate the extent and
character of the original and seconda.ry
forests, together with the quantities and
varieties of wood and timber growing
thcreinzbut it was found that another state
ageiicy—~tlie coiniiiissioners appointed to
appraise the tiinber land of the state for
purposes of taxation—liad undertaken the
same work. The data of the latter coin-
niissioners were tliei'efore adopted, at a
saving of expense, and are to be tabulated.

Other iiivestigatioiis, such as the methods
of lumbering and their effects upon timber
supply, water power, sceiici'y and climate:
the revenue annually derived from the
foi'est-s, the damage done to them by fires,
are in progrcs<.

THE GRANGE HAS HELYEI).

The eoinmis-ion is required by law ‘to
“hold iiicetings from time to tinie in dif-
ferent parts of the state for the discussion
of forestry subjects;" and, with iefereiice
to this the report states that the difficulty
of obtaining audiences was removed “by
the entliusiastic co-operation" of the Pa-
trons of Husbandry, who have geiierously
thrown open their progranis for the intro-
duction of forestry topics.

“In addition, the board of agriculture
readily acceded to our request for a. place
on the p’rogram of their annual field_ meet-
ing at l3oa.r’s Head. Besides this, the
forestry conimission co-operated with_ the
board of agriculture in a general {l.0‘I‘1L'lll-
tural convention, which assembled at Keene,
December 26, for a three days session, and
at which three addresses on forestry topics
were delivered.” Furtheriiiore, a series of
lectures on forestry has been incorporated
into the “Institute course” at the college
of agriculture.

Notices of penalties for the setting of
forest fires, printed in cloth, were posted
in forest districts, and the expense of such
work was greatly reduced by the co—0per-
ation of lunibermen. _

County commissioners, though tw ice
asked to appoint fire wardens for unorgan-
ized places, failed to respond; but town
“selectmen have been measurably prompt
in discharging their duties as fire wardens
when once they have learned them. But
in the communities Where no town organi-
zations exist the forests are no better off
under the new law than they were without
it, for the county commissioners have neg-
 to make the appointments author-

Fate of the Farmer.

The .\iiicrican fariner has long held a
place greatly above that of the pi-asaiit of
continental Europe in his income :uid st vle
of living, because he has been able to possess
a larger tract of land, and greatlv above
the linglish tenaiit-fariiier in his iiidcpeii—
dencc, because he has been able to own the
ground he tilled. llc will not continue
another half century to hold this enviable
position. The economic forces that li:ive
been at work in Eiirope have also been at
work here, but not so long. and tlici'c.foi'e
they have not yet iiiatui'e<l so much fruit.
There have been .\inericans who imagined
that our political constitution would pro-
tect us from the fate of tlic ()ld \\'orld. lt
would be as rational for a man to expect
his knowledge of aritlimetic to keep him
dry in a tliunderstoriii.

Soiiietiiiies we find the .-\mci-ican farnier
slipping away‘ from his acres, and sonic-
times we find his acres slipping away from
him: as a result of both tcndciicies tliere is
a separatioii, widening with the lapse of
time, between owiicrsliip and cultivation.
The Aiiiericaii fariiieris following the ling-
lisli yeonian into extinction. and the crea-
tion of landlord and tenant classes l]:ts' al-
ready made coiisiderable progress lierc.
Specializatioii is one of the incidents of cv-
olution, and evolution in agriculture is giv-
ing us. instead of one class of faruicrs who
were siiiiultaiieously landloral, tenant, and
laborer, farniers of the three classes, per-
niaiieiitly distiiict.--—/"/w/ /‘rr/'_r/ /’~rI'r//'.v, in

The Influence and Good Work of the
Grange.

(lrgaiiizatioii among farmers has receii ed
more encouragement witliiii the past ten
years than in previous years up to that
tiiuc. \Vhen prices began to decline and
conditions changed in such a manner as to
make farming unprofitable, oi'g:inizatioii
was accepted by many as a panacea for all
ills and the channel through which all
wrongs could be righted. This gave rise
to many new kinds of organizations, varied
in their objects. and some very radical in
their purposes. In some cases much good
was accoinplislied, while in otliersthe cause
of agriculture received but little. if any
benefit.

In this as in all other niattcrs of this
nature it will be noticed that the conserv-
ative organizations have “stood the tests of
time,” and in the end will have done more
good than any other kind. In this con-
nection the Grange stands out proininently
as one of the institutions of this nature
that has held firm to the irinciples upon
which it was founded. ' hroughout the
varied experiences of other organizations
thisf'order has prospered and increased its
numbers and influence, and at present it is
undoubtedly in the best condition it has
ever been since the first Grange was insti-
tuted. There yet remains much work for the
Grange to do in the educating, harmoniz-
ing, and uplifting of the agricultural class-
es, and from present indications it is
ready, Willing and Well qualified to do it.
No disparagement is intended to be cast
upon organizations of a legitimate nature
whose membership is made up of the ru-
ral classes, but the enthusiastic meetings
held recently and in convention this week
of a state and national nature, bring this
organization prominently before the pub-
lic at this time, and for the good it has
done a.nd=gives promise of doing in the fu-—
ture it deserves the commendation of 8.11.-

In the last issue of the Visiron the read-
ers were left to study upon Frederick
Froebells first object or gift, six soft. col-
ored, worsted balls. He gave us ten gifts
and ten occupations. The second gift is
a combination of the sphere, cube, and
cylinder. It denotes form in addition to
object. There is no form in the lieavens
above or the eai'th beneatlior in the waters
under the earth but what bears some relation
to one or nioreof the forinsof this gift. The
sphere represents motion, the cube rest,
while the cylinder can either move or rest,
as required. The sphere has a curved sur-
face, the cube a flat surface, the cylinder
l)oth fiat and curved surfaces. \\'e might
compare it t.o a family. Sister cylinder
has ways and looks like her brother sphere,
also ways and looks like her brother cube.

How beautifully does it denote trinity.
Perceiving, observing, comparing, judg-
ing, and concluding are the successive
stages of the process that takes place in
the forinatiou of an idea, and in each of
these stages the process rests in the law of
the connection of contrasts. It has been
said that contrasts are the only nieans to
arouse the mind to attention.

I cannot give you all the occupations
that belong to each gift. I will mention
but one with this gift. Making chains out
of paper cylinders is both instructive and
pleasing, as well as ornamental to the
school room.

TH E TIIIRI) GvII“'l‘.

The third gift is a two inch cube subdi-
vided by three cuttings, two perpendicular
and one horizontal, into eight equal parts
or cubes, each representin_g the larger cube
on a smaller scale. In this gift we have
our first lesson in fractions. We will
place the cube before the child as a whole,
then show the divisions. first as halves,
then unite the halves into a whole, then
divide into halves and the halves into quar-
ters or fourths, teaching him to unite
them.

I have i of a cube and & of of a cube, or
2'} of a cube, or f of a cube, and ;l- of a
cube and i of a cube or 2-; of a cube or &
of a cube, and 2-4 of a cube or % of a cube,
etc., or a whole cube. Next division
would be of eighths. To this gift we
would find our little hands occupied with
paper folding, cutting, and weaving, to
represent the faces and edges of the cube,
and first lessons in drawing. The fourth
gift consists of eight parallelopipedons,
forming a cube the size of the third gift.

If you have a set of dominoes, take
eight and see if you can form a cube; try
the lesson in fractions as given in the third

ift. If you would like to build some-
thing with your blocks, I would ask you
to make me a tight board fence 5 inches
long and 2 inches hioih, with boards % inch
thick. VVhen the fence blows over you
may use the same boards to build a side
walk 16 inches long and 1 inch wide. VVe
would add the new form, the oblong, to
the occupations of the third gift.

THE REMAINING GIFTS.

The fifth gift is a 3 inch cube consisting
of twenty seven inch cubes. Three are
divided into halves and three into quarters.
Here we find a ste higher in fractions,
thirds, ninths, an twenty—sevenths. In
our lessons in drawincr we have had the
vertical and horizontal lines, now we can
add the slanting line found in the divided
cubes.

The sixth gift is a 3 inch cube consisting
of eighteen parallelopi edons, twelve
square prisms, and six ob ong prisms,mak—
in thirty—six blocks.

he seventh gift is parquetry or tablets
consisting of circles, squares, o bl 0 n g s ,
right angled isosceles,right angled scalenes,
obtuse isosceles, rhom bus, and
equilateral triangles. I believe our grand-
mothers had some knowledge of this gift
when they made their pretty bed-quilt pat-
terns.

The eighth gift represents straight lines
or sticks; sticks of various lengths, in 2
inch, 3 inch, etc.

A study of the catci'pilIai', the cIii'_vsalis.
and butterfly’. while the song is being
learned, should not be neglected, as it will
give deeper and more lasting impressions.

Song usually accoinpanies games. (hie
game we play which is closely connected
with the first gift we call the ball or fruit
gaiuc. You reincmber our balls were of
the primary and secondary colors. The
red we play is a clierry. the yellow :1
lemon, blue a plum. orange an orange,
green an apple. As six balls will be too
complex for the child at first. we will
choose only two. the cherry and Ienion.
\\'I’ien the child thoroughly understands
the colors and names given to the balls, one
is asked to sell them and sing this little
song:

 
  

"Who will buy my clu’-.rry ripe. (‘In-rr_v ripe, cherry ripe?
Who will buy my chcrry ripc, cherry ripe-'.“'

when the hands are raised and the response
“VVe will buy your cherry ripe. clurrry ripe. CIl1‘lT_Y ripe:
We will buy your elu-rry ripc, cherry ripe.”

then the salesman hands: it to the one he
wishes should have it, and receives in pay-
ment a “Thanksl” then proceeds to sell the
lemon in like manner, after which the
the teacher calls on one to collect the fruit
as sold. Do you see the object of the
game if It is to strengthen memory; for
every ball sold each child Iias three things
to remember; 1, the fruit the ball repre-
sented; 2, the order it was sold, whether
the cherry or lemon was sold first‘. and 3, to
whom they were sold. I think I hear
someone say that it is easy. If you think
so, just try it some time.

Flowers or Weeds, Which?

Once there was a queen. so the story
rims, whose reign had but one thing to mar
its happiness. Her people came’ to her
with so much fault finding with one an-
other that it grew to be a serious question
with the queen, who loved them and wished
them well, how to avoid this one cause of
disorder and quarreling. After in uch
thinking of the matter, she sent for a page
and told him to go from one end of the
realm to the other, gathering for her spec-
imens of all the flowers he found growing
within her domain. l\'o sooner was he
gone than she called a second page and
sent him out in the same way, over the
same road, bidding him to pick and bring
to her all the weeds he saw. \Vhen the
pages were about to return, the queen and
her lords and ladies met to receive their re-
port.

The first messenger came, his arms full
of all kinds of bright, fragrant flowers,
and his face I)ettlllIX]0' with the joy of his
quest. \Vhat. had lie found? “Flowers,
flowers, eve1'ywhere, hedgerows, bvways,
fields and gardens were rich in blbssoms
and -~ loaded with perfume,——the queen’s
land_was a land of beauty.” “But did you
find nothing more, were there no ugl V
blooms 1” asked the queen. “I saw noiief’
the page answered and was dismissed.

All the flowers were carried out and the
second page summoned before the queen
and her guests. He brought weeds, horrid,
noisome plants of many varieties and rank
odors. He said that everywhere he found
these weeds in the greatest luxuriance, and
the country was overgrown with vile. un-
gainly, homely weeds. Again the queen
asked him, as she had the first, if he found
nothing else, if he saw no flowers? “I
looked for none,” was his reply and he
was dismissed. The good queen turned to
her lords and ladies with words of caution
and advice on her lips, but she saw they
were not needed. Her people had seen
and understood the lesson; and a few came
to her, repentant, and promised to heed
the warnino‘.

The little story has been refreshed in
my memory this m0I‘l1in by reading a
short sketch of the life of %live Schreiner,
author of “Dreams” and “African Farm.”
She says that as a young girl she used to
look on the very weeds and feel intensely
that she was one with them. It does not
strike me as an unusual thought at
all, only noticed because it came from
one who is just now much talked of and
read. For is it not the experience of many

How Can We Find Time to Read?

This world is full of conundrums, and
this subject is one of them. To the busy
wife who attends to all the household
duties, makes calls. (lispenses charities.

devolve upon her, and keeps up with the

her daily affairs. But tliereis an old say-
ing that

If she will do't she will. and there’s an end on t.

Reading is a duty that we owe to our-
selves, our neighbors, and mankind. How
much more pleasant it is to visit with a
person who keeps pace with the literary
world than with one who is given to neigh-
borhood gossip. I often hear our sister
as well as brother Patrons say, “I cannot
find time to read.” Now if they would
work half as hard in finding the time as
they do in squandering it there would be
more Chautauqua courses finished, more
Farm Home Reading Circles started, more.
of the excellent magazines read, and the
economic questions of which the people
are demanding a solution would be solved
right now.

Ted and the Gardener.

"I spo.~’c_" said Ted, sitting down (':tsiI\’
on the \vlicclbai'i'o\v and resting his cll>ows
on his knees and his chin in his hzintls. "I
sposc you sec :1 good inany nicc
tliings out of doors first and last.“

The gardcncr was mending his hoc,
which had a fasliion of losing its head
when it hit a hard wci-ll.

“lies. I -\'l]l().~t‘ I do." he :lll>'\\'(‘l‘L‘4I. "I
never get tircd of watching honey bees, for
one thing, they are the knowiiigcst lot of
critters you ever scc like folks consider-
able."

"Uh. tcll inc about them.“ said Ted.
who was always Iuuigry for stories. "I've
never been very ncarours. ‘cause .\I:unma‘s
afraid Illl get stung."

"\\'al, you might. tillyougit acquainted
with ‘cm like. I was :1-noticing of 'em
not long since with a strange bcc. They
pcstercd it to get its honey; you see they
didn‘t want to kill it. ‘cause then they
couldn't get it, but they hcctorcd it until
it dropped its load out of its pockets and
flew off.“

“Pockets! what kind? Iiikc inincf“
said Ted, putting his hands on them.

"No, not quite: hut hairy places on
their sides. The hairs hold the honey-
comb in, you see.

"Oh, yes. but do go on. please.“ said
Ted.

"\\'al, they git a load. and pat it into
their pockets, first one side. then the other.
till they're full. It‘s funny to see them
run up a stalk of timothy and get dusty
all over from it. They dust themselves
off with their feet. and pat the dust into
their pockets. \\'hcn they are loaded they
take a bee line for home. "

“Oh, what is that f" asked Tcd.

“Straiglit as they can go. If you move
the hive a little ways, tlicydl bump up
aglin it. and then fly off and try it again,
till they hit. the opening."

“Oh, go on." said Ted, who was afraid
the hoe would be finished before the bee
story.

“"Tliey air out the hive hot days by
gittin' round the open places and then flut-
tering tlieir wings like all possessed. I
put a piece of paper in the top of the hive
one day. and it blew ’round as if it was in
a little whirlwind."

“Oh. isn‘t that funny. though," said
Tcd~—he meant queer. “I mean to get ac-
quainted with ’em myself. I do think out
doors is a great deal more interesting than
school,” he added with a sigh.

"‘V\'al, you see, folks that can‘t go to
school have to use their eyes: but it’s nice
when you can do both.”

"Yes. I s' iose so," said Ted, doiibtfully.

OUR WORK.

The following has been approved by the State (ir£lIlL'(‘ as
afair statement of the objects the (irziiign of Micliigan
has in view, and the special lines along which it proposes to
work. hope every Grange in the state will work
earnestly in all these departments, so that by a more
united effort we shall rapidly ll)CI‘(‘.£.lS('. our numbers.
extend our influence, and attain more and more complete-
ly those ends which we seek.

OUR OB-)l‘I('T

is the Organization of the Farmers for their o\vn Improve-
ment, Financially, Socially, i\l4.-ntiilly, Morally.

We believe that this improvement can in large incasure
be brought about’

1. (a.) By wider individual study and general dis-
cussion of the business side of furining and home keeping.

tb.) By co-operation for financial advantage.

2. (a.) By frequent social gatherings, and the mingling
together of farmers with farmers, and of fziriiiers with
people of other occupations.

(b.) By striving for a purer manhood, :1 noblcr woman-
hood, and a universal brotherhood.

3. (a.) By studying and promoting the iinprovement of
our district schools.

(b.) By patronizing and aiding the .-\gi'ieultural (‘ol-
leges and Experiment Stations in their legitimate work of
scientific investigation, practical experiment, and educa-
tion for rural pursuits.

(c.) By maintaining and (lll0L\tllll_£! farmers’ institutes;
reading in the Reading (‘ir(‘le: r-stablishing and using
circulating libraries; buying more and better inagazines
and papers for the home.

4. (a.) By diffusing a knowledge of our civil institutions.

and teaching the high duties of citizenship.

(b. By demanding the enforcement of existing statutes,
and y discussing, advocating. and trying to secure such
other state and national laws as shall tend to the general
justice. progress and morality.

Special to Patrons.

The State Grange entliusiasticzilly fav-
ored the appropriation of $5.1 l0ll per year
for fariiiers‘ institutcs,:1nd took up this bill
as one that would be especially urged at

this session. The bill has been printed in

full in the VISITOR, and in two issues at
least we have made urgent appeals to
Granges to pass resolutions favoring this

measure. We had expected that by this

time 21 hundred resolutions would have

been received on this topic. But so far as

we can discover, less than :1 dozen Granges
have responded. This is not right. The
bill should have been passed by this time,
and would have been, had it been properly

urged. ’atrons, do not let another Grange
meeting go by without passingaresolution
favoring the farmers‘ institute bill, and
have it sent to your representative in the

legis.lature.

Through the kindness of \\'orthy Secre-
tary F. A. Akins, we have at hand :1 copy
of the proceedings of the last session of the
Ohio State Grange.

Ye editor made a pleas:-uiit trip to High-
land f:1i'iiiers' club the ltith. Found iftlo
gatliercd. Talked it little, and atltletl :1
goodl_y number to the Visrroic list.

We are indebted to the New York Trib-
unc for :1. copy of the Tribune Alinanac.
It contains an -.ilnin<lzi.m-e of information
that it lS(.lCSll't1l)lC for everyone to know.
especially to those who want to “keep
posted. ‘ ‘

The publishers request that in renewing
‘siibs-;:i'iptions the same initials and name
be given as the one uli'e:i.dy on your label.
This precaution may save the paper from
going to the wrong person, and at least
will help the publishers very much.

Patrons should not send resolutions
against “Senate bill 66;“ that is a bill rc-
lating to safety of portable boilers, not the
“township unit bill." \Ve do not yet know
the number of the latter bill. It is suffi-
cient to designate the bill as the “tmvnsliip
unit bill.”

VVe publish pathetic appeals from No-
braska Patrons. Cannot the Michigan
Grange help? It has been suggested that
the most eflicient help we can give is to
send seeds for spring sowino-. It is none
too early to begin thinking of this kindness
to those of our brothers in distress.

   

   

The Grange is not an end in itself. Do
not make that mistake. The Grange is a
means, an instrument. Like any other
human means to good ends, it must have
back of it the devotion, the enthusiasm,
and the sacrifice of strong men and women.

Mrs. J. H. Royce wishes that counties.
where the school reading circle work, as
recommended by the State Grange one
year ago, is being carried on would report
progress to her at Baroda, Mich. A re-
port of how the work is booming in her own
county, Berrien. will be found in another
column.

Before the establislnnent of the Grange
‘there were no restraints upon the ingres-
sions of monopolies. Now there are re-
strictive laws in nearly all the states upon
the injustice and discriininations practiced
by transportation companies. But why
cmiineratc what it has accomplisliedf It
lias done more than all other agencies com-
bincd to develop :1 “higher manhood and
womanhood" among the agricultural peo-
pic, to elevate our calling, and place us in
:1 position to secure the rights to which we
are justly entitled under the constitution
of this government. It \v:1s never intended
that its work should be to tear down but
to build up; not to level the pahice but to
change the hovel to :1 pleasant and con1fo1't—
able home; not to deprive the favored ones
of a single advzmtago they now enjoy for
literary tlt‘(1Ul1'e-11l€l1lS., but to bring the
means of obtaining it higher education,
more suited to the far1i1er‘s calling, within
the reach of all the children of rural homes;
not to take from any class or interest a sin-
gle privilege or right which legitimately
belongs to them: but to secure for our-
selves and our posterity the social, nioral,
and intellectual privileges which rightfully
belong to us, and to enjoy without hin-
drance the fruit of our labor; not by the
power of mimbers to assume political con-
trol :1n(la1'l_>itI':ii'ily attempt to shape the
policy of this nation, but to bring farmers
to the front that their voices may be heard
and their influence felt in the councils
of the nzttion.-.1. B. -/zrrlsma, Jl[.1.s-fer

Reasons for Pure Food.

The first argument for pure food is hon-
esty. No logic canjustify the sale ofarticles
offood or drink which “are not what they
seem." The adulterants are in all cases
inferior in quality, hence cheaper, and the
whole business is nothing but a cheat.
People of ordinary instincts want what
they pay for.

The second argument. is one of health.
Many articles now sold are either injurious
or deleterious. It is not right that the
greed of a few should endanger the health
of the niany.

The A. B. C. of Tax Reform.

"Can it be possible that the amount of
taxes assessed and paid in this state is not
.‘isceI't:1inuble {" asked at usually well iii-
formed membcr of the legislziture who was
seeking for information on the subject.
Being told that it was true, l1c replied that
he did not wonder at the inability of suc-
cessive legislators to adjust some vexzttious
tax prol )lCl1]S to the satisfaction of the people.
inequities in the operation of our tax laws
are frequently complained of. If they ex-
ist tlicy should be zuithoritively deter-
mined and the remedy applied. Nothing
is gained by frequent experimental changes
in the l:1\\'s. The results of their operation
should be coinpctently ascci‘tai11e(l. In this
way and only by such deterinination can
we know whether their operation  suc-
cessful, or where and in what Inunner their
bettcrinent can be effected. Do real and
personal property bear their relative pro-
portion of the public burdens! Are the
estates of the farmers taxed disproportion-
ately to the estates of their brethren who
dwell in cities! Are those who are ex-
empt from the operations of the general
tax law by reason of the payment of spe-
cific taxes unduly favored or are they pay-
ing more of the public revenue than is their
share? No oflieer of the state can answer
these questions and certainly no citizen
can find the facts. Either may express an
opinion but that opinion is based upon un-
certain observation of individual examples.
Nothing can be proven because we have

  

.6-.

   

no gathered statistics on the subject.
Many questions in the lines suggested
above must be answered before anyone is
competent to suggest any adequate remedy
for evils in our system of taxation, if such
evils exist. It is unnecessary to say that
many believe they do, and that was the
sufficient rezison why the State (x'1':mge rec-
connnended the appointment by the state
of a. state tax statistician. A bill in ac-
cordance with such rccommemlation lnis
been introduced in the house, and the Vis-
ITOR would like to hear from those who
favor its passage. and to have them give
their reasons therefor.

 

Beneath the Dome.

In this column we design to mention and discuss lll1I.~‘('
measures introduced into the legislature that we believe
will he of most importance and interest to our readers. If
any of our readers desire to have the provisions of any bill
that we do not mention and will let us know their wislies
we will (‘ll(l01\‘Ol‘ to get the information.

Iteprcsentzitive Iloyt has a bill to "pre-
vent the manufacturc and sale of any butter
compound which is colored in imitation of
yellow butter.“ Nothing in the act is to
be construed as prohibiting the in:1nufac-
ture or sale of oleomargarine in a .\‘el)tt1'illL‘-
and distinct form. The puiiishment is to
be by heavy fine or imprisonincnt. This
law, Mr. Hoyt says, has been tested before
the l'nited hftatcs supreme court, coming
up from Masszicliusetts, and was dccl:1rc<l
constitutiomil. The law works well in
that state.

Mr. Hilton liasa pure food bill which
simply adds two sections to the existing
law creating thcoflice of dairy and food
coininissioner, zmd provides that no imita-
tion oI' tl(ll1ll6l‘tll(3(l food and drink pro-
ducts shall be sold unless leearing {I label
showing composition.

The special committee to investigate the
capitol employcs are making things hum.
The committee consists of Messrs. Kcmpf,
\Vildey, C-hznnbcrlain, \Volter, and Robin-
son. All the dopaI'tInents but one have
reported very fully concerning the ques-
tions asked. The information gained is it
little more in detail, but is along the same
lines as shown by the Visrroic last summer.
Mr. Kenipf believes that a reform in sal-
aries can be inuuguratctl, that will reduce
the cost of running the departments by to
per cent. Mr. Kempf has so persistently
identified himself with the interests of
economical government that he has been
dubbed “Fariiier” Kempf by some would
be wits. He asserts that. he is proud of
the title but resents the insinuation im-
plied—that a fnriucr is not as good as any
other man.

Mr. lVildey has :1 bill to provide that a
sort of budget shall be inzide up by each
departinent, estimating their expenses for
the two years. Now t 1e general expenses
are met by a lump sum. $tl53,tN)Ufor 189:3,
and v‘3tN.J:-;,lt()tl for 189-}, were the sums ap-
propriated two years ago. It will be seen
that the legislature or the people gain no
adequate idea of what such :1. large sum is
used for, and the idea is to have these esti-
Inates come in intelligible shape.

“'6 quote the following from the 1’h’e'w
)/‘(rs-_\‘,—-h‘()ll1e of the facts are not unknown
to careful readers of the VISITOR:

As the time zipproaclies for making up
the appI'op1'i21t-ions for state institutions,
there seems to be a disposition to look it
little closer into the afl':1iI's of these institu-
tions than has been the custom. Gov.
Rich has been in the oflice of the auditor-
gencrul personzilly, and has made some in-
quiries on the niatter. One of the things
that has attrzictcd :1tt.ention is the expendi-
ture of the l,'niveI'sityof Micliigan. A tax
of one-sixth of :1 Inill is raised imnually for
that institution. The fund is not handled
by the state officers, but passes directly
into the hands of the regents of the col-
lege. There has been no report from that
institution for two years. It had been the
custom, up to l._\".lI—}, for the regents to re-
port to the department of public instruct-
ion, but- this has been dropped. It has
been found that during the past year, about
S;’l3ti.l)oo has been spent for salaries at the
university.

Representative \\'ildcy has introduced
two resolutions calculated to stirthings up.
The first is as follows:

Resolved, That the auditor-general be
respectfully required to furnish a listYo_f the
professors and employcs of the Ln1ver-
sity of Michigan, and the salaries of each,
at his earliest convenience.

The second read thus:

Resolved, That the board of regents of

licves this system is better than the uniform
text book systeni, because undertlic latter
about nine-tentlis of the schools would
have to buy new books. l“iii:ii1ciallv, there
is the saine advaiiitiige to pupils as -the uni-

this system has been tilt cents per rear for

Laugh a Little Bit.

Hero’s n motto. just. your fit,
"Laugh a little bit.”

When you think you're trouble hit.
“Laugh a Little bit.”

Look Misfortune in the face,
Brave the bedlam‘s rude grimacc;
Ten to one 'tWill yield its place

if you have the grit and wit.

Just to laugh a little bit.

Keep your face with sunshine lit;

Gloomy shadows off will flit
If you have the wit and grit.
Just to laugh a little bit.

Cherish this as sacred writ:

“Laugh a little bit." _

Keep it with you, sample it;

“Laugh a little bit."

Little ills will sure betide you
Fortune may not sit beside you,

Men ma mock and fame deride vou.
But you ll mind them _not a whit

If you laugh a little bit. —St. Nicholas.

THE GRANGE VISITOR.

 

A Huge Meeting.

Teachers and Grange Association, (Oceana and New-
waygo Coiintic-sfliesperia, February 7, 8, and 9.

There was a blizzard on hand, if not on
the prograiii when Thursday night came.
but when Col. Parker looked from the
platform he saw five hundred faces tui'iied
toward him; and those faces continued to
look only when laughter or tears czuisel
them to turn this way or that. "flonic
and School‘ ‘ was the subject of the Colonel's
address which was excellent in sul)j;*cl.
matter, anal delivery.

i~‘i<ii)AY’s si-zssiox.

was opened by music, after which S. V.
\/Valker opened the discussion on “Potato
Culture.“ Mr. \Valkcr said: 1. Take
some other ground than sod; 2. Prepare
the ground well; 3. Froin the tenth to
the twentieth of J une is the best time to
plant to avoid the potato bugs: 4. Dip-
ping the seed, before planting, in corrosive
subliniate will cure the potato “.-tcab"--—
has done it for me.

Mr. Geo. C. Myers said in discussion:
1. He would plant on sod; 2. Plow in
the fall, and when planting time arrives
your ground will be mellow and well pre-
pared;  Drag as soon as planted and
keep up the dragging until the potatoes
are up, and the soil will then be free from
all foul growths; 4». Use a pl;int:—:r, plant
deep will stand the drouth better; plant
four feet apart each way. Mr. X. Mc-
Calluin I'e.:0l1llIl(3I](lC!l the De-ar two horse
cultivator for deep cultivation. K. II.
Taylor has used the specific recoiiiinended
by S. V. \Valkei' and says it works well.
Mr. V'Vilbur would plant potatoes about
i..:llt_VlI1Cl'l0S apart each way; when they
are up and grown they will soon shade the
ground and preserve moisture.

Blue vitriol, Mr. \Valker says, will pre-
vent potato scab if the seed is soaked in it
before planting.

A well delivered recitation by Mable
VVeaver followed this topic, and ‘V. F.
Taylor entertained the great crowd singing
“Old Ohio.”

0. F. Munson opened the discussion on
the topic “The School House," “The
School Yard,” “Out Ihiildings," making
the several points: 1. The school should
be an ideal home; 2. School yards should
be neat with shade trees thereon. Coiii-
missioner John Ha wood, N ewaygo
county, further discussed the question, and
Col. Pai'ker of Chicago in further discus-
sion of the question said: 1. The school-
rooiii should be made as beautiful as the
mostbeautifulhoine;  I'Iaveflowerbeds,
raise vegetables, have some interesting
3. Outhouses
should be clean, clear of vulgar pictures,
obscene writings; 4. School yards should
contain four or five acres of ground. A
recitation by Ethyv Piunnell and music
made an agreeable change.

Neil McCallum discussed the decadence
of wheat growing due to the larger acre-
ages of the west, pauper labor, produced
wheat of India, deinonetization of silver;
we must substitute corn, potatoes, hay,and
fruit. A recitation b_y Arthur Anderson
was so well received that he was called
back.

“Our boys and girls, what of their fu-
ture," was the name of an excellent paper
presented by Vesta B. Smith, teacher in
Claybanks. Miss Smith said: I. The
boys and girls of today are the citizens of
tomorrow; 2. The most important ques-
tion before us today is the culture of these
coming citizens; 2-3. The first eight years
of child life determine what kind of citi-
zens the children shall he; 4. Education
that does not develop true citizens is use-
less and too costly;
ucation is the education of heart and brain

together; (5. Have a definite aim in teach- ‘
ing; 7. All development begins in the
home; 5. Home should surround the

children with good literature: ‘.1. There
should be the same standard of purity for
the boys as for the girls; 14). Is it right
to give a girl a push down hill and leave
her defaiiier to go on with his work of
destriictionf 11. The state should see
that every child is trained to the respoiisi-
bility of true citizenship.

THE SILVER I’ROl}LE_\I

was discussed by M. VV. Scott Six, who
said: 1. It was a crime against labor,
the farm, the home, and huinanity; 2.
Our foref-.ithers had no nioncy; :3. The
colonies were forbidden to coin inonc-y~
tyrants were afraid of the common people;
4. In 17t)2_the American congress made
silver the legal standard: 5. In 1.873 sil-
ver was (lemonetized, and since then it has
continued to fall in price until it has
reached its present cheap condition. \Vhy'{
The money speculators have made a coin-
modity of it; 6. In 1878 the country was
made to believe that silver was reinone-
tized, but it was not; '4'. Give silver an
even chance with gold; .3‘. Gold is in the
treasury for redemption purposes only; t .
We have destroyed one half the money
of the World and that’s what’s the matter
with us. A sharp discussion joined in by
Prof. Corbit, Commissioners Hawood,
W. F. Taylor, and N. McCallum. Tillie
and others followed.

Col. Parker again faced a niultitud_e,
when he arose to give his lecture, “Artist
or Artisan, \Vliieh!" It was a grand lec-
ture, said everyone who heard it.
s_s.'ri'iii).n"s SESSION.

The blizzard had taken a new hold, so
had the (lrrangers and teachers. "Infiueiice
of mother in education" was the siibjectof
Mrs. Frances \\'iiiter’s paper. She said:
I. The higliest, holiest influence in mak-_
ing for true citizenship is the influence of
a true mother; 2. Teach physiology in
the home by training the children to take
cai'e of their bodies; 3. Teachthechildtobe
self governing. Here is where the mother
can do much for the state; -1-. True edu-
cation iiicans development of the heart side
of liuiiianitv as well  the intellectual: 
Strict obedience to the teachings of the
Golden Rule is living. \V. F. Taylor, Mr.
Smith, and Mrs. I). IC. Mct'lure discussed
the topic.

J. ii. Pliilo, in discussing diversifying
farniing, said: 1. \Vhen farniers have lit-
tle money to spend times are hard; 2.
\Ve should raise many kinds of.crops,
grow something on every square inch of
the farni; hay, corn, potatoes, fruit all
pay quite well; 4. Let us occupy the
.-\_iiici'ican niarkct with our own crops; 
.\lillions of bushels of wheat, corn, pota-
toes, were shipped into the United States
during the year, displacing just so much
Aiiicrican produce. Neil McCalluni said
the straw from our grain crops was becon1-
ing very valuable. Mr. Myers said: The
Ag1'icultu1‘-al College was aiding the fa1'ii1ers
inteacliing them how to diversify their
crops and the value of sucli :1 plan. Neil
Mct,‘alluni said farniers should raise more
roots to feed to stock. “She dreamed she
wanted to be a Mason” was well recited by
Arthur Anderson. I). E. McClure gave
an address on the silver question. The
Grange choir furnished some excellent
music. “Peaches on the brain" was the
subject of a good paper by Mrs. Mary
Robertsoii. Mrs. M. \V. Scott read an
excellent poem at this point. D. E. Mc-
(7lui‘e recited “Paid his way. " (). F.
Munson opened the discussion on “Reci-
procity of Patrons and teachers." Mr.
Lillie, Miss Vesta Smith, \V. F. Taylor,
J. 15. Philo, Mrs. J. R. Mansfield, John
L. Roberts, and Prof. Corhit joined in an
excellent discussion.

“The farm and hoine” was the subject
of an excellent address by John L. Rob-
erts, who said: 1. The sweetest place on
earth should he the home; 2. Make home
life on the farni more entertaining; 3. VVe
need free rural mail delivery so that the boys
and girls may have not alone the best but
latest current literature; -I. Oh how
beautiful is the home where love and hap-
piness reign! Arthur Scott discussed the
topic making the point that we niust make
farming more profitable. Mrs. D. E. Mc-
Clure said while we are decorating and
beautifying our homes, let us learn to con-
trol our tempers, banish harsh words,
grumbling, etc. (She went for the presi-
dent a little, but a cup of Mrs. l\IcC-alliiiiiis
good coffee and a dish of oat meal cured
him.)

\V. F. Taylor said: 1. The great, great
central truths of life cluster around the
home: 2. The paths of life are winding;
they leadfroin the cross of Calvary and
meet. around the All Fatlieris throne. 3.
Parents, so live that your children inav
have full confidence in you; -i. All that
is beautiful in life comes out of the home;
all that is liatcfiil. too, often.

A Great Loss.

DEWITT, Feb. 14, 1895.

DeWitt Grange and the entire commun-
ity mourn the loss of Dr. G. VV. Topping,

who passed from this world

1895. January 14,

The Doctor had been a resident of

DeVVitt nearly 4] years, and he was a true *

pioneer doctor. Coming to Michigan in
such an early day he knew full well the
hardships and privations of the early set-
tlers. He was born in the town of Meniz,
§;}3"_}‘f.i“51fi‘(.~1int_\', l\‘ew Xork, Deceiiiher 11,

A _ . e was of Iunglish stock, his great
grandfather settling on Long Island and
fighting for American independence. His
father was a lieutenant in the war of 181-3,
The Doctor spent his boyhood days upon a
farm. He attended the district scliool.
then_weiit to Groton acadciny and later
studied in the .\oi'iii:il school at Albany.
He next attended school at Townsend. Ohio.
He then went to the medical school at
tilevelainl, Ohio. Ile went to (‘alifornia
overland remaining there lll1'(%0yQ;{1'5;in(l
then returned to Lockport. New York,
where he began the study of Latin :iiid
(,I€l'l11t1l'l, In the fall of l.\'.'):l he entered
the iii_edi_cal departineiit of thc l'niversitv
of Michigan and received his diplonia in
lb? Yeill‘ 1854 and began to practice iiied-
icine in l)cWitf.

Dr. _Toppiiig was :1 skillful surgeon and
an eniinent contributor to medical journals,
as well as a vigorous tliinker upon current
events._ lie was an independent deinocr:it
in politics. He was a nieinhcr of the F. &
A, M. of De\Vitl. Grand chapter and K. T.
0‘tL€1I1SlI1g. I. O. O. l<‘., and D. of R. and
Graiige of Dewitt. Very often he has said
the_Grange was ahead of all the orders of
which he was a nieinbcr as an educator.
He was a ineiiiber of hot.li subordinate and
Pomona Grange, and was always prescnf
whenever he was able to be there. His
health had been poor for two niontlis but
he seemed iinicli better and all hoped soon
to see him out again but, Monday, January
14, the suinnions came from the unseen
world. He had written a prescription and
sent .\lrs. Topping to the office to fill it.
\Vhen she went out he sat reading the dailv

paper. She returned in so minutes but
an iinhiddeii guest had preceded her. The
Doctor was just breathing his last. His

glasses and paper were neatly folded as if
he had tired of reading and had fallcn
asleep with his chin restingin his llz!I)(l,
so quietly had he passed away. Ile was a
man who alw:iys stood up for the right no
matter if it brouglit blame and censure
upon himself, and truly we can say that
De\Vit.t and coniinunity is better l:e<-ause
Dr. G. \V. Topping lived there.

Pomona Grange and Education.

.- \Ve take the following from the Benton

Harbor B/III]?L’/'-1t)cgi'.NZ‘¢:i'.

The worthy niaster, Mrs. J. H. Royce,
in her report at the annual session of Ber-
rien county Pomona Grange, which was
held last week at Ilerrien Center, among
other valuable subjects, took up the educa-
tional work done in the county by the
Grange, in which she said: “At the earli-
est possible date our Pomona took up the
rccoinniendations of the State Grange coiii—
inittee on education relative to the supple-
mentary reading course for rural schools.
lVe called the attention of our school coni-
inissioner, Professor E. 1’. Clarke, to the
resolutions, asking him to formulate his
thoughts upon said subject and talk the
same at our next meeting. This he did in
a manner so productive of interest that
immediate action was taken for preparing
the way for said course. Your coininittee
appointed by the solicitation of said coiii—
niissioner found him eager to act in any
line that would enhance the interest of the
rural schools. After several iiicetiiigs and
many days spent in thoughtfully consider-
ing the inany excellent publicatioiis, :1
course was decided upon which we believe
meets our prcscnt_nced. Our coiiiiiii.-'sioncr
with his ('ll:xl’1lL‘l(,‘I'ILs'tlL‘ eiicrgy has so iii-
spired and aided the tcacliers as to have
started at present about .~cve1it_v—livc libra-
ries, with many more soon to follow. .'\'or
does the good work stop here. At a
recent nieeting of the Michigan S1‘ll()()l
coiiiiiiissioncrs our Coiiiiiii.-zsioncr t‘l:irke
was made a iiieinbcr of a coiiiniiftco of
three for drafting a course of reading for
the district schools of the state. If other
Pomona Granges througliout'fhc state have
been equally as active and are as fortunate
in possessing a real live coininissioner then
our country schools ai'e iiiakiiig great
strides toward placing good liteiature in
the hands of our girls and boys.

“Patrons, our work does not end here,
while possibly we may have done some of
the work of a Paul in sowing we should
also aid the work of Apollos in bringing
the work to perfection. Our worthy coni-
missioner needs our aid, our teachers need
our aid, then let us not withhold our hands
in aiding on to perfection the principles
that lie at the foundation of our aims and
purposes. Our rural schools are receiving
an unusual amount of attention from our
comniissioiier who, being a graduate of
our own agricultural college, is in close
sympathies with the interest of our farni—
ers, and as said commissioner has treated
our Order with so much deference I would
recommend that our Pomona Grange ap-
point a committee on education whose duty
it shall be to act in harmony with our county

school coniiiiissioner, in furthering such
plans as may be for the benefit of our rural
schools. Since our Grange is much inter-
ested in our county agricultural fair. and
while no feature should he added to de-

b(‘lie\'e it would be to the interest of our
Order to add an educational exhibit to our

in the iiiaftcr. I would therefore recoin—

liiirroii (‘:ii.\.\'«:i-: \'isi'i‘oii: lain pleased
to see the st:iiid taken by flic \'isi'i‘oii on
the tciiipcrancc qucsiion. and from my oh-
servatioii I iun sati.-‘ficd that it has voiced
the scntiiiient of the inajorii_v of the Gran-
gers throughout the state. I noticed at
our political coiivciitioiis last fall that there
was :1 strong fccliiig ainoiig the delegates
from the rural districts to place only‘ men
of known tciiipcraiice principlcsiii iioinina-
tioii for office.

()ur hope for the purific.i1ion of politics
rests in the men who are the rca<lci's of the
\'isi'i‘oii. (lo on with local option agaiiist
all of its encniics. \\'c don't want aiiv
back action taken on this qinsfion, ratlier
let. our banner go f'oi'w:ii'1l. lixtciid it to
townships and wards. Thcrc arc nianv
wards in our cities that are so.<itii:1tcd that
they would be oiil_v too glad to proliibit
the location of a "lloggcrv" within their
precincts. '

There is onc other point that I w:iiit the
i'cpi'csciit:itivcs of the rural districts to de-
niand for us. That is further protection
for our boys and girls. The law ali'ca(ly
proliibifs the sale of liquors to niinors.
Xow, go further and prohibit any ininor
dealing out liquors to otlicrs. I“o1'hi<l their
being eniployed bcliiiid the bar or as wait-
ers wlicre they would have to serve liquors
or in any position about a bari-ooin. This
would be :1 death blow to a great many
small saloons about our cities where the
family serve the cusfoiners while the man
is about his business.

And while we light for proliibitioii
wlicrevcr we can get it, don’t let up on the
striiigeiicy of the laws regulatiiig the traf-
fic whcre we cannot get local option.
There is to be an organized effort to legal-
ize the sale on our liolidays, and for
a later hour for closing. Make the hour
earlier instead of later and don’t let our
national birthday be disgraced by drunken

A Business-like Offer.

In referring to the advertisement on nnotlierpage. of the
“.\r'ine” pulverizing harrow. clod crusher and levcller, we
call attention to the fact that the manufacturer, Duane H.
Nash. Millington. N. J., and (‘hicago, 111., offers to send
these liarrows to responsible farmers on trial to be re-
turned at his expense if not entirely satisfactory. The
fact that the manufacturer has advertised in that way for
many years back, and as he claims to have sent thousands
of them out on trial would seem to indicate unbounded
confidence, on his part. in the utility of tlie_ barrow. It is
claitrlxjed that this is the lowest price riding barrow on
ear .

eiulowcd the idc:1 has .‘spre:1d that
the institution was to be :1 ki11d of

be seen that the indus’1riz1l feature
is but one element. From the fact
that iiistruction i11 this line re1p1ircs
so cxtciisivc and so costly machin-
cry as it docs, the mechzniiczil de-

though hriving but one professionzil

full sense of the word as known in
this country. The dcp:1rt111c11ts of
111z1thc111:1tics, of English, and of
l1istor_v are zmiong the strongest
and are conducted by eminent men.

TIIE Il\'I)L'STRIAI. 11111.1.

111 many respects b't{n1ford l'11i—
vcrsity differs fron1 iiistitutions of
its kind further cast; it is not li111-
ited by custom or bound dow11 by
tl':l(.lltl()I1. It has been built on
lines of the broadest develop111cnt,
in the light of the most advanced
ideas in education, although there
is nothing ephemeral or revolution-
ary in its org:u1iz:1tion. The most
noticeable feature of the university
is its vigor and this is well ac-
connted for by the enthusiasni of
the men who are at the head of the
dep:1rt111e11ts. The dignified. con-
servzitivc. white h:1ired professor
seen on the campus of many eas-
tern collcges is absent here, and
his place is filled by 11 business-like,
energetic young 1111111 who realizes
that his name before the world is
yet to be 11111119, and who joins to

is personal zimbition :1 sym-
pathetic loyalty to the institution
which  to profit by his success.
The veteran of the faculty is not
yet forty-five years of age, but the
men who compose that body have
been selected from among the
most promising young men of the
whole country in their respective
lines of work. The results are al-
ready being shown, as the publica-
tions of these men in connection
with the university are bringing
recognition to themselves and to
the institution. To the students
the advantage is great: they are
placed in contact with men who
are bending every energy to sue-
ceed and w o afford the students
every sympathy in their work.

To thc student from beyond the
Mississippi this young institution
of the west ofl'e1's 111z1ny:1rlv:111t:1gcs.
It l1as:1ll the vigor and spirit of
youth. all tl1c enterprise and fac-
ulty for :1d:1pt:1tion for which our
wcstcrn country is so f:1mous. Thc
young 1111111 receiving his prcp:1r-
:1tor_v training iii the cast will not
only be in\'igo1':1tcd by :1ssoci:1tion
with wc:-ztern men, but his ideas of
life will be bro:1dencd, and the
very extent of country over wl1icl1
he must travel will bring him face
to face with some probleius of our
political and social condition :1s :1
nzition that it will be his duty to
help solve. So 111ucl1 is to be
learncd in our own country by as-
sociation with men fro111 widely
scparzitcd localities that the A111er—
ican student can no more zitford to
make his e(luc:1tion provincizil th:1n
he can :1tford to make it one-sided
in any other direction.

As to climate, P2110 Alto is :11-
most without an equal to the stu-
dent who works the year round.
Divei-sified as the climate of Cali-
fornia is known to be, the S2111t:1
Clam valley is aicknowlodged by
all to have few equals. Although
bananas and palms grow unpro-
tected in the q11a.dr:1ngle, the air is
cool and e.\'l1ilirating i11 sunimcr,
and the sea breezes. tempered by
tl1e111o1111tain range at the west,
are decidedly invigorating to one
who has become accustomed to the
cliina-to in the south. It has been
remarked that there are more
working days for the student in
the year at Stanford than at any
other university in the United
States.

Urdvcrsity, Tucson. Arizona.

Forestry in Pennsylvania.

The forestry question is before
the legislature of Pennsylvania.
The essential features of the pro-

osed bill are that “Three state

orestry reservations of not less
than 40,001) acres each should be
set apart, and that these should be
under the executive controliiof the
state forestry commission, which
in turn should report to and be
subordinate to the state board of
agriculture. "

The Wisdom of this last clause
will be clear when we remember
that forestry is but a branch of ag-
riculture, and that the general gov-
ernment, NEW’ York, and even
Prussia have found this the most
desirable affiliation for their for-
estry divisions. It at once removes
the forestry interests from the list
of those which must, year by year,
be brought before the public and
urged for legislative recognition,
by placing them on the fixed pol-
icy of the state, and while there,
there remains no chance that for-
estry will be forgotten in estimat-
ing the expenses of maintaining
the state government, it still gives
the friends of the movement ample
chance to agitate for and to direct
still further advances.——Forest

silver basis means increased prices
for everything—wh:1t we buy and
what we sell. It means one dollar
per bushel for wheat, eight doll:11-s
per hundredweight for hogs, twelve
dollars per ton for hay and so on,
all in silver or its paper representa-
tive. Of course we can not get these
prices in gold. Gold would have
to be purchased the same as other
commodities. Under present V111-
ues of the uncoined metals one dol-
lar in gold would cost about two
dollars in silver. Such a change
of base would bring forth an era
of speculation unknown since the
days when greenbacks deprecmted
in value. Millions upon millions
of dollars would ass out of the
hands of those W 0 have earned

PART ONE.

[Being a reprint from the 1-cnzim‘.~.-ceiices
of John H. I-I'ut.\-on. Ill. 1).. late of the
army rizctiicirl (f?1)(U"tlIl€Nt.]

CHAPTER I.

In the year 1878 I took my degree of
doctor of medicine of the University of
London and proceeded to Netley to go
through the course pI'(3§~‘,(‘l‘ll)t',fl for sur-
geons in the army. Having completed
my studies there, I was duly attached
to the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers
as assistant surgeon. The regiment was
stationed in India at the time, and be-
fore I could join it the second Afghan
war had broken out. On landing at
Bombay, I learned that my corps had
advanced through the passes and was al-

ready deep in the enemy’s country. I‘

followed, however, with many other
officers who were in the same situation
as myself, and succeeded in reaching
Kandahar in safety, where I found my
regiment and at once entered upon my
new duties.

The campaign brought honors and pro-
motion to many, but for me it had noth-
ing but misfortune and disaster. I was
removed from my brigade and attached
to the Berkshires, with whom I served
at the fatal battle of Maiwaiid. There I
was struck on the shoulder by a Jezail
bullet, which shattered the bone and
grazed tliesubclaviaii artery. I should
have fallen into the hands of the mur-
derous Gliazis had it not been for the
devotion and courage shown by Murray,
my orderly, who threw me across a pack-
horse and succeeded in bringing me safe-
ly to the British lines.

Worn with pain and weak from the
prolongcd hardships which I had under-
gone, I was ' "uoved, with a great train
of wounded sui.‘<:rers, to the base hos-
pital at Peshawar. Here I rallied, and
had already improved so far as to be
able to walk about the wards, and even

',-" ‘.0 bask a little on the veranda, when I

was struck down by enteric fever, that

\,“,'I curse of our Indian possessiniis. For
‘ , months my life was despaired of, and

when at last I came to myself and be-
came convalesceiit I was so weak and
emaciated that :1 medical board deter-
mined that not a day should be lost in
sending me back to England. I was dis-
patched accordiiigly in the troopship
Orontes and landed a month later on
Portsmouth jetty, with my health irre-
trievably ruined, but with permission
from a paternal goveriiniciit to spend
the next nine months in attempting to
improve it.

I had neither kith nor kin in Eng-
land, and was therefore as free as air-
or as free as an income of 11s. 6d. a day
will permit a. man to be. Under such
circumstances I naturally gravitated to
London, that great cesspool into which
all the loungers and idlers of the entire
empire are irresistibly drained. There I
staid for some time at a private hotel in
the Strand, leading a comfortless, mean-
ingless existence and spending such
money as I had considerably more free-
ly than I ought. So alarming did the
state of my finances become that I soon
realized that I must either leave the
metropolis and rusticate somewhere in
the country, or that I must make a com-
plete alteration in my style of livina.
Choosing the latter alternative, I began
by making up my mind to leave the ho-
tel and to take up my quarters in some
less pretentious and less expensive domi-
cile.

On the very day that I had come to
this conclusion I was standing at the
Criterion bar when some one tapped
me on the shoulder, and turning round
I recognized young Stamford, who had
been a dresser under me at Bart’s. The
sight of a friendly face in the great wil-
derness of London is a pleasant thing
indeed to a lonely man. In old days
Stamford had never been a particular
crony of mine, but now I hailed him
with enthusiasm, and he, in his turn,
appeared to be delighted to see me. In
the exuberance of my joy I asked him
to lunch with me at the Holborn, and
we started off together in a hansom.

“Whatever have you been doing with
yourself, Watson?”, he asked, in undis-
guised wonder, as we rattled through
the crowded London streets. “You are
as thin as a lath and as brown as anut. ”

I gave him a short sketch of my ad-
ventures and had hardly concluded it
by the time that we reached our desti-
nation.

“Poor devil!” he said commiserat-
ingly after he had listened to my mis-
fortunes “What are you up to now?”

“Looking for lodgings.” I answered,
“trying to solve the problem as to
whether it is possible to get comfortable
rooms at a reasonable price. ”

“That's a strange thing," remarked
my companion “You are the second

man today that has u;-:ed that expres:-:ioi1 §
to me. ” 

“And who was the fir:-‘t?" I asked. t

“ fellow who is working at the
chemical laboratory up at the hospital. 1
He was bcinoaning hiinself this morn- 1
ing because he could not get some one .
to go halves with him in some nice
rooms which he had found and which l
were too much for his purse. " 

“By Jove!” I ('l'l(‘(l, “if he really ;
wants some one to sliare the rooms and y,
the expense, I am the very man for
him. I should pr<.-ft-r having a partiii-r
to being alone. "

Young Staiiiford looked rather
straiigcly at inc over his \\'lll('gl1lSS. .

"You don’t know .\)lu~i‘lock Holnies;
yet, " he said. “I-‘wlizips you would not ‘
care for him as a coiistaiit companion. ”

“Why, what is tlu-re agaiiist hini':”

“Oh, I didn’t say Illi‘,I'(:) was anything
against him. He is a little quccr in his ‘
ideas—an enthusiast in soinc branches
of .\f(:lI*ll(.‘e. As far as I know, he is a dc-
ccnt fellow enough.”

“A medical student, I suppose?" I
said. ,

“No. I have no idea what he iiitr-nds ,
to go in for. I believe he is well up in
zinatoiny, and he is a first class clieniist,

but, as far as I know, he has never taken
out any systciiiatic medical classes. His
studies are very dcsultory and eccentric, 
but he has amassed a lot of out of tho ‘
way know}:-dge which would astonishl
his profc.<.~,oi‘:-:. ” —

“Did you never ask him what he was.
going in for'."’ I asked.

“No. He is not a man that it is easy 3
to draw out, though he can be coininu-
nicaiive enough when the faiicy seizes
him. ”

“I .-hould like to meet him, ” I said.
“If I am to lodge with any one, I should
prefer a man of studious and quiet hab-
its. I am not strong enough yet to stand
much noise or excitenicnt. I had enough
of both in Afglianistaii to last me for
the rcinainder of my natural existence.
How could I meet this friend of yours?” ‘,

“He is sure to be at the laboratory. '
He either avoids the place for weeks, or
else he woiks there from morning to
night. If you like. we shall drive round
together after luncheon. "

“Cc.1'taiiily, ” I answered. and the con-
versation drifted away into other chan-
nel.-'.

As we iiiudc our way to the hospital I‘;
after leaving the Hollmrii, Stamford 1
gave inc. a few more particiilars about‘,
the gentlcnian \\'llOlil I proposed to take
as a fellow lodgcr.

“You inustn’t blame me if you don’t
get on with him,” he said. “I know
nothing more of him than I have learned
from iiioetiiig him occasioiially in the
laboratory. You proposed this arrange-
ment, so you must not hold me respon-
sible. ’ ’

“If We doiilt got on, it will be easy
to part coiiipany,” I an.~:we1'ed. “It
seems to me, Staiiiforu,” I added, look-
ing hard at my companion, “that you
have some reason for washing your hands
of the niattcr. Is this fellow’s temper
so formidable, or what is it? Don’t be
mealy inoutlicd about it."

“It is not easy to express the inex-
pre:-sible,” he answered, with a laugh.
“Holmes is a little too scientific for my
tastes. It approaches to cold blooded-
ncss. I could imagine his giving a friend
a little pinch of the latest vegetable al-
kaloid, not out of malevolence, you uii-
derstand, but simply out of a spirit of
inquiry in order to have an accurate idea
of the effects. To do him justice, I think
that he would take it himself with the
same readiness. He appears to have a
passion for definite and exact knowl-
edge.”

“Very right too.”

“Yes, but it may be pushed to excess.
When it comes to beating the subjects
in the dissecting rooms with a stick, it
is certainly taking rather a bizarre
shape.”

“Beating the subjects!”

“Yes, to verify how far bruises may
be produced after death. I saw him at
it with my own eyes. ”

“And yet you say he is not a medical
student?”

“No. Heaven knows what the objects
of his studies are! But here we are, and
you must form your own impressions
about him.” As he spoke we turned
down a narrow lane and passed through
a small side door, which opened into a
wing of the great hospital. It was fa-
miliar ground to me, and I needed no
guiding as we ascended the bleak stone
staircase and made our way down the
long corridor with .its vista of white-
washed wall and dun colored doors.
Near the farther end a low arched pas-
sage branched away from it and led to
the chemical laboratory.

This was a lofty chamber, lined and
littered with countless bottles. Broad,
low tables were scattered about, which
bristled with retorts, test tubes and lit-
tle Bunsen lamps, with their blue flick-
ering flames. There was only one stu-
dent in the room, who was bending

. work.

over a distant table absorbed in his

At the sound of our steps he
glance-d round and spraiig to his feet
with a cry cf plea.-‘ure. “I've found it!
I've found it!" he shouted to my coin
panion. running toward us with a test
tube in his liamd. “I have found a re-
agent wliir,-li  precipitated by hemoglo-
bin, and by nothing else. ” Had be dis-
covered a gold iniiie greater delight

: could not have slione upon his features.

‘ ‘Dr, Watson—Mi'. Sherlock Holmes, ”
said Stamford, iiitroducing us.

“llmv are you?” he said cordially,
gripping my hand with a strength for
which I should hardly have given him
credit. “You have l)t‘(‘ll in Afghanistan,
I perceive.”

“How on earth did you know that?"
I asked in flSl’(J1ll.~‘lllll8lll5.

“Never mind, ” said he, chuckling to
hiinsz-lf. "The qiicstioii now is about
hemoglobin. No doubt you see the sig-
nificance of this discovery of inine'.’”

‘‘It is llil('1'(‘5.flllg, clioniically, no
doubt, ‘ ’ I ziii.-we1'cd, “but practically’ ’—

“\Vli_v, inan, it is the most practical
iiiedico-legal discovery for years Don’t
you see that it gives us an infallible test
for blood staiiis? Come over here now!"
He seized me by the coat sleeve in his
czigcriiess and drew me over to the table
at which hehad been working. “Let us
have some fresh blood,” he said, dig-
ging a long bodkin into his finger and
drawing off the resulting drop of blood
in a clieinical pipette. “Now, I add this
small quantity of blood to a liter of wa-
ter. You perceive that the resultiiig
mixture has the appcaraiice of true wa-
ter. The proportion of blood cannot be
more than one in a million. I have no
doubt, liowever, that we shall be able to

he spoke he threw into the vessel a few
white crystals, and then added some
drops of a traiisparciit fluid. In an in-
stant the conteiits assuiiied a dull nia-
liogaiiy color, and a brownisli dust was

with a new toy. “What do you think of
that':”

“It seems to be a very delicate test,”
I remarked

“Beautiful, beaiitifu-ll The old guaia-

for blood corpuscles. The latter  value-

Now, this appears to act as well whctlii-1' 

the blood is old or new.

long ago have paid the penalty of their ‘

criiniés. "

“lndce(l!“ I niurniured.

“(.‘:'iiuinal cases are continually hing-
ing upon that one point. A man is sus-
pected of a crinic months perhaps after
it has bccn committed. His linen or
clothes are examined and brownish
stains cl.-tcovered upon them Are they
blood st iins or mud stains or rust stains
or fruit stains, or what are they? That
is a question which has puzzled many
an expert and why? Because there was
no reliable test. Now we have the Sher-
lock Holmes test, and there will no lon-
ger be any difficulty. "

His eyes fairly glittered as he spoke,
and he put his hand over his heart and
bowed as if to some applauding crowd
conjured up by his imagination.

“You are to be congratulated, ” I re-
marked, coiisitlerably surprised at his
enthusiasm.

“There was the case of Von Bischoff ‘

at Frankfort last year. He would cer-
tainly havc been hung had this test been
in existence Then there was Mason of

Bradford, and the notorious Muller and ,

Lefevrc of Montpellier. and Samson of
New Orleans. I could name a score of
cases in which it would have been deci-
sive. "

“You seem to be a walking calendar
of crime,” said Stamford. with a laugh.
“You might start a paper on those lines.
Call it The Police News of the Past. "

“Very interesting reading it might be
made, too,” remarked Sherlock Holmes,
sticking a small piece of plaster over
the prick on his finger. “l have to be
careful,” he continued, turning to me,
with a smile, “tori dabble with poi-
sons a good deal. “ He held outhishand

as he spoke, and I noticed that it was

all mottled over with similar pieces of
plaster and discolored with strong acids.
“We came here on business," said
Stamford, sitting down on a three legged
stool and pushing another one in my
direction with his foot. “My friend here
wants to take diggings, and as you were
complaining that you could get no one
to go halves with you I thought that I
had better bring you together. ”
Sherlock Holmes seemed delighted at
the idea of sharing his rooms with me.
“I have my eye on a suit in Baker
street,” he said, "which would suit us
down to the ground. You don’t mind
the smell of strong tobacco. I hope?”
"I always smoke ‘ship’s’ myself,” I
answered.
“That's good enough. I generally

you?”

“By no nieaiis. "

“Lct inc see-—wliat are my other
shortcoiiiiny.-s? I get in the dumps at
times and don't open my mouth for (lays
on end. You must not think I am sulky
when I do that. Just let me alone, and
‘ I'll soon be all right. What have you to
lt’.s just as well for two
fellows to know the worst of one another
before they begin to live together. "

I lauglicd at this cross cxaniination.
“I keep abull pup," I said, “and obj:-ct

and I get up at all sorts of uiigoilly hours,
and I am (-xtreniely lazy. I have another
set of vices when I'm well, but those
are the principal one.-‘ at pro.-‘cut. "

“Do you include violin playing in
your czm-gory 1;!’ rows?” he asked anx
iously.

“It do.-p<-iids on the player,” I answer-
ed. "A well played violin is a tl't‘Ll.l for
the gods A badly played one"-—

“Oh, that’s all right," he cried, with
a incrry laiigli. "I think we may con-
sider the thing as settled—-thatis. it the

"When shall we see them?"

“Call for me here at 110011 tomorrow,
and we’ll go together and settle every

“All l‘l,f_'lit--Il0()Il exactly,"
shaking his hand.

V'Ve left him working among his
chcinical:-: and walked together toward
my hotel.

“By the way, ” I asked suddenly. stop-

ping and turning upon Stamford, “how
the deuce did he know that I had come
from Afgliaiiistaii?”
 My companion smiled an enigmatical
smile. '‘That’s just his little peculiar-
ity,” he said. “A good many people
have wanted to know how he finds things
out.”

“Oh! A niystory, is it?" I cried, rub-

Dr. l‘zirkliur.~t has coined a new word. and its

to make it fainnus. Tlu: r-mini-nt rr-fornir~r‘s
\\«,rd l> ".\iulruii.uiiia." and of it he .sa_\'.-':
“'l'li--rv is an ('lt‘llll*lIl in the ft-miniiic world that

‘.\iulrnivi:iiii:i.' 'l'lu~, \\'flI‘(l is not an Iinglisli one

need such a lI‘l'lll. It is coiistnit-ted on the
sunw [)l‘lll(‘l]il|‘ as the word '.\iiglviiiuni:i.' which
iiir-ans a pa.-u-ioiiatn aping of evcrytliiiig that is
Englisli. ‘.-\iulrniminia' iiicaiiis siiiiilarly, 8 pas-
siuiiatc aping of i-,vI-rytliiiig that is manmsli.”
l)i'. Parkliur.-‘t makes his new word S('l'VC‘ as
the title for his first article in the next issue of
the Lziilios’ Home Journal. and iises it for a vig-
orous tn-utmeiit of the type of woincn for whom
he iiivciitorl it.

(‘ol. (‘arrol D. Wright has coiitributvd to the
Ft-bi'uai',v Forum an article ciititlcd “Steps to-
ward (iovcrniiit-nt t‘ontrol of Rziilroarls," show-
ing how the ('liicago strike has ciiipliasized the
ll(‘t‘(l of legislatioii for the regulation of strikes,
and how it is also a factor in producing the
cliangcs in Federal law which are now going on
and wliicli tend to goveriimental control of rail-
roads.

“The World’s Event for 1895" is the title of an
article by (‘lark Howell, of the Atlanta (‘ousti-
tutinn, in the February Review of Reviews; no
one acquainted with the Constitution or its
agrcssive editor needs ‘to be told that this
event, so far as shall lie in .-\tlanta’s power, will
be the (‘otton States and International Exposi-
tion to be held in that city during the closing
months of the present year. The article is elab-
orately il'lustr_ated by port raits of the officers
of the exposition and views of the grounds and
buildings. M-r. Howell's enthusiastic setting-
forth of the aims and methods of the energetic
Geor ians who have the enterprise in charge is
calcn ated to win friends to the exposition not
only in the south. but wherever his interesting
article will be read.

Woman Suffrage in the South.

A discussion that will interest all the think-
ing women and many thinking men in the
country is wages in the February ARENA be-
tween a number of leading Southern women,
liberal and conservative. on _the uestion of
“Woman suffrage in the South." he matter
is threshed out pro and con, and all elements of
Southern society are represented, social reform-
ers, society women, woman sulfragists and
those who regret the antebellum state of things.
The papers will give a spurt to the tea-table
discussi Inn throughout the “Sunny South."
