Five persons are busily employed in those
rooms, and the number Of packages made
and shipped daily averages four hundred.
On the first floor we find the Office Of the
secretary ia the front room. There the
correspondence is opened and distributed to
the different departments or, il it relates
to some particular or special matter, laid on
the desk Of the secretary for his own atten.
ton.
Another room on this floor is used as a
record aud correspondence office. There the
applications are recorded, letters answered,
dispensations forwarded, etc. -Four persons
are occupied in that room. The records Of
the order are also preserved in that Office,
aud one can form an idea Of the amount of
work accomplished when we state that
more than two hundred volumes, which are
entirely in manuscript, are found on the
shelves
On the second floor are kept the charters
and documents more closely connected with
the inside work of the order, ami two per.
sons are kept there constantly busy prepar-
ing those documents. A room on this hoor
is reserved as a special Office for the lecturer
aud is also used as a meeting room for the
executive committee.
The third floor is the deputies dormatory
the sanctuary where they can rest Their
tired limbs, aud attend to their special du
ties when they visit Washington. Thii
third story is, 6guratively speaking, tbs
"haymow."
Everything is conducted upon the strict
est principles of order, aud the hands Of the
worthy sisters who assist the secretary il

THE NEWS.

Though we aim to print paper which
shall be chiefly valued for its agricultural
reading and its advocacy of the best Interests
Of the agricultural class, we desire also to
give complete resume Of the general in
telli0enoe Of the week We have of late
given more than double the amount Of cur
rent news which we formerly did, aud more
than is to he found in many Of our local CO.
temporaries, and at the same time have not
eucroached upon the space previously devot-
ed 10 the interests Of the farm. AS we
doubt not our readers have observed, while
the amount Of space devoted to news has
been doubled, it has been accomplished by
contracting the amount Of advertisements.
While this subjects us to double expense,
in the additional labor of type-setting, and
also in the smaller income for advertise
ments we are confident that our readers will
appreciate every effort on our, part to give
them more acceptable paper for their mon
ely, aud will second our efforts in this direc.
ton not only by extending our subscription
list, but by promptly reporting to us any
thing Of interest which occurs Extending
as our list does into all parts Of the state, il
our readers will all make little effort ID
this direction we shall be able to give all the
news from different parts of the state. The
fact that only two papers in the state ex
coed the FARMER in extent of circulation
while those two and many others enjoy q
greater age, confirms us in the belief that oul
efforts to make paper which shall meet thu
demands of the times is not unappreciated BY
our natrons

The sanitary influence OF light eau scarce
ly be over-estmated. 1t is essential to the
development Of nearly all animal and veGe-
table organisms. Plants when deprived of
light become blanched and stunted iu growth,
the process Of fixing the carbon in their tbs.
sues is arrested, modification of the color.
ing principle takes place, and they appear
white instead of green. This is termed Ell.
olaton or blanching, and is applied by the
gardener and horticulturist in the case Of
certain kinds Of vegetables to improve their
edible qualities. Childhood being peculiar
ly period of growth and development, it is
especially important that children should
have the fullest possible benefit Of exposure
to direct sunlight Many of the diseases Of
the weak aud emaciated children reared
in narrow streets and crowded tenements in
our large cities are attributable to the def
cheney of light aud air. The sad effects OF
the absence Of light are unfortunately not
confined to those who, by the pressure Of
poverty, are compelled to dwell in localities
aud habtatlons where the solar rays vaiuly
strive to enter. In many elegant mansions,
whose occupants can command every luxury
within the reach of wealth, we see the most
ingenious means adopted for etfectually ex-
Guiding light, with the inevitable result Of
seriously impairing the health Of the inmates.
Light is not only essential to the preserva-
ton of health, but is equally important in
the treatment of diseases. There are a
large number of disorders which may be
greatly benefited, if not cured, by free ex-
posture to the light of the SUI, while it GER

Transforming corn into wool and mutton
at the West for shipment East is very good
idea, but in Colorado there seems to be a
slight objection on the part Of the cattle
raisers The latter are in the habit Of as
sembling in social bands for the purpose Of
making friendly midnight call on some
neighboring sheep man, and amusing them
selves with such harmless recreations as per-
torating his skull, burning his shanty, shoot
ing some of his sheep, and setting the re-
maiuder at liberty on the prairie-just out
Of sheer ennui, you know. The sheep men
are learning the benefits of this system Of
cooperation, aud are going into the business
themselves with q view Of returning these
friendly visits. In consequence, there prom
ses to be many practical illustrations Of the
existence of this little eneasiness."

John b. Cough addressed . temperance
meeting in Worcester, Mass, where the
women's praying movement has lately been
working, last week. He said he felt proud
to speak In Worcester. He felt peculiar
interest in that city. He claimed il as his
own. He signed the pledge there. lie then
went on denouncing the use of spirituous
liquors. lie had been asked by some what
he thought of the praying movement, and he
replied that it was only part Of the labor
Many men, by its effects, have been induced
to abandon liquor dealing but if the wom-
en- of Worcester had not closed grog shop,
if they had simply moved one heart by their
efforts they had been amply rewarded. He
said that from the core of his heart to the
end Of his toes, from the soles Of his feet to
the roots Of his hair. he Endorsed the wom-
eu's movement in its every action, thought
and deed. More had been done for the tenn
perance cause in this country in the last
four months than had been done before since
the Washingtonian movement thirty years
ago; aud more had been done in Worcester
during the past six weeks than for six years
previous He believed in the men cOopera-
ting with the women, aud the women should
accept the advice OF the men. The plea
was made by the rumsellers that they did
not sell to drunkards still the streets were
full of them. He believed there wasn't a
man engaged in the business in Worcester
who would refuse him liquor if he were to
fall into the druukard's track again.
