GRANGE-WORK.
Annual Session OF the Alabama state
Grunge.


The first annual session Of the Ala
bana state grange met at Montgomery
last week. Fifty counties of the sixty
five were represented by one hundred
delegates. Each county with twelve
oranges or less sent one delegate, and
those with more sent two. The state
officers were present. The address OF
Mr.. Chambers was very elaborate and
able. He advised prompt action on the
constitutional amendments submitted
by the national grange; opposed the
plan of representation based on numer-
zeal strength, and advised the rejection
of the amendment providing therefor
recommended that a committee memo
riaIize congress on the subject of cotton
tax the apointment Of an agent In
Washington to represent the interests of
planters recommended a memorial to
the state Legislature for a geological
survey of the state with a view of an
official PRONUNCIATION of its advantages
in minerals, that immigration may be
thereby induced, and promising the co
operation of the state grange ia the
work reviewed what is known as the
dead-fall system !; that is, small whisky
shops established near large plantations,
where the freedmen trade stolen pro-
d
and the planters, and recommended
that the legislature be memOrialized
to put an end to said traffic; recon-
mended a change in the register of the
deputies by substituting a county dep
uty or general overseer of oranges in
EACH couRty, who shall represent the
county in the state grange and act as
delegate to its annual session acknOwl-
edged the obligation of the grange to
the national body for the relief furnished
sufferers last spring, and addressed
a suitable acknowledgment therefor.
He also recommended the establish
ment of a grange organ at some CEN
trail point, to serve as a mode of COM
munication between the officers of the
order; and proposed the holding of
grand state fair next fall under grange
auspices, and suggested the propliety of
attempting some reformation of abuses
In the matter of commercial fertilizers,
such as the erection of a home manu-
factory under the supervision of resi-
dent chemists. supplied with cheaper
and better articles. In conclusion, he
reviewed the agency and cooperative
system, and advised as the best means
of getting the aid of middle men IN the
provision business, that more attention
be paid to the raising of supplies at
home. Much of disappointment aris-
ing from the system as practically ope-
rated, he traced to imperfect organiZa-
ton and the necessary friction in mat
ter so complicated and so n6w. When
southern farmers shall make their
farms self-sUstaiping, there viii be less
complaint of middle men.

To Mako Hard Soap.

The following is a recipe for making
hard soap which is excellent and eco,
uomical Nearly every family accumu-
lates through the winter drippings from
beef and mutton. These can be util-
lied for the grease by boiling in water,
allowing it to cool, then removing from
the water and boiling it till all the
water is expelled. OF course the whiter
the grease the nicer the soap. Take
six pounds of sal soda, six pounds
grease, three and a half pounds new
stone lime, four gallons soft water, half
pound borax. Put soda, lime and water
into an iran boiler boil till all is dis
solved. When well settled pour off the
clear I've, wash out the kettle and put
in the I've, grease the borax boil till it
comes TO soap, pour into a cup to cool,
and when sufficiently hard cut into bars
and put on boards to dry. This is very
nice for washing white flannel and
calico.

Sore Throat Night Collars.

Says an exchange "An eminent
physician, who devotes his whole atten-
ton to diseases of the throat and lungs,
told us the other day, that about three
fourths of all throat diseases would get
well by wearing very loose collars, and
no necktie at all. He said that often
singers would come to him for throat
disease and loss of voice, and he would
tear open their cravats and cure them
with no other treatment whatever.
The pressure of the collar on the ar
teries of the neck is very bad for the
health, said he. He also added If

Nitrous Oxide Gas Va. ChIoroform

A very extraordinary case of death by
the use of nitrous oxide gas, now so
largely employed by dentists instead of
chloroform on account of its alleged SUI
perioT safety, is related in the London
Times as having occurred 10 the prac-
tice of the well-known DR.. Mason. Il
appears that the patient, Miss Wynd-
ham, accompanied by her medical at
tendant, went TO have her teeth exam
ined. DIR. M. advised her to have q
large upper tooth drawn, and of her
urgent request administered nitrous OK
ide gas. After a few respirations it was
noticed that the pulse was becoming
rather weak, and the inhalation stopped.
The patient had not become insensible.
however, and endeavors were made to
extract the tooth, but the pain was so
great that, again at the lady's desire,
the gas was given a second time. The
operation appeared to be perfectly sue
cessful and the tooth had been drawn.
when suddenly the patients features
became livid, and it was at once appa-
rent that something was wrong. Assis-
lance was Immediately obtained and ev-
cry thing done to restore consciousness,
but death ensued in a few minutes.
The evidence at the inquest showed that
up to the day of her death she enjoyed
excellent health, and that neither before
nor after death were any symptoms of
organic disease observable.

The extent to which fuchsine has late
" been used in coioring wines, candies,
etc., lenders it a matter of some i'm
portance to detect the existence of this
poison-principIe. According to a recent
French writer, the simplest method of
doing this is to place portion of the
suspected liquid in test-tube. and to it
add first $50 grains subaceate of lead,
and then 200 grains of amylic alcohol.
If, after agitation Of the mixture, the
amylic alcohol, on separating, appears
colorless, it shows that fuchsine has not
been used if, on the contrary, it ex-
hibits a red tint, it indicates that the
poisonous substance has been added.

To Preserve wooden Tree Labels.

Thoroughly soak the pieces of wood
in strong solution of copperas, then
lay them. after they are dry, in lime
water. This causes the formation Of
sulphate of lime, a very insOluble salt
Cgypsum), in the wool. The rapid de-
struction of labels by the weather is
thus prevented. Nets, Irvine and other
substances used in tying up or covering
trees and plants, when treated in the
same manner, are similarly preserved.
at a recent me citing of the Horticultur-
al society, in Berlin, wooden labels thus
treated were shown which had been con-
stantly exposed 70, the weather during
two years without being affected thereby.

A French chemist, NJ. Nadie, has

the salt water of different oceans, espe-
eially in reference to the amount of
chloride of sodium common salD in
them. He obtained the following re-
suits: The Mediterranean sea contains

Medical men advise that alt should be

writer, while enjoying visit from an

Curious SuDerstitiOns.

A curious superstition prevails on the
Isle of Man. It is to the effect that
children may be preserved from whoop-
iDg-cough by being placed in the hop
per of a mill. Whooping- cough,
says the Mspx Tines, els at the pres
ent time exceedingly prevalent in the
south of the island, and on Sunday a
large number of the children were ia
ken to the Grenaby Mil, in the. Parish
of Malew, three miles from Castletown.
in order to be subjected to the charm
Two hOppers of the mill were erammed
full of children, and as soon as they
were comfortably and safely settled the
miller caused the wheel to revolve
three times, the parents Of the children
being present at the time. In order to
be efhcaciOus, the ceremony must be
gone through at a time when the minis
ters of the district are engaged IN
preaching in their pulpits. For this
reason about noon on Sundays is gene
rally the time chosen for the perfor-
nance of this curious rite"
