HEAT AND LnE.-The English Jour-
nal Of Science notes that the stokers of
steamers in hot countries, laborers in
steel works, iron mills, etc., can work
without visible detriment, to health in
temperatures of from 100 to 2l2 deg.
To this it may be added that, In some
parts of California, Americans can farm
in the sun all day, with the thermome-
ter ranging over ITO. In fact, it is the
humidity Of the atmosphere in heated
terms that works detriment to health
and life. In permanently dry air
there are no sunstrokes or congestions
at high temperature

A California Episode.

Mr.. bod Grille (Ambrose Bierce) has
published book, from which the fol-
lowing California anecdote is taken
One day in '49 an honest miner up in
Calaveras county bit himself with q
small snake of the garter variety, and
either as a possible antidote, or with a
determination to enjoy the chief rem
nant of wasted life, applied a brim-
ming Jug of whisky to his lips, and kept
1T there until, like repleted leech, it
fell of. The man fell off likewise. The
next day, while the body lay in state
upon pine slab, and the bereaved
partner of the deceased was unbending
In game of seven-up with friendly
Chinaman. The game was inter-
rupted by familiar noise, which
seemed to proceed from the jaws of the
corpse:
81 say-Jim I"
Bereaved partner played the king of
spades, claimed high, and then look
ing over his shoulder at the melancholy
remains, replied:
"Well, what is it, Dave? I'm busy"
81 say, JIM" repeated the corpse in
the same measured tone.
with q look OF intense annoyance
and muttering something about "people
that could never keep dead more'n a
minute" the bereaved partner arose
and stood over the body with his cards
In his hand.
"Jim," continued the mighty dead,
"how fur's this thing gone %
"I've paid the Chinaman ST. so to dig
the grave" responded the bereaved.
"Did he strike anything ?"
The Chinaman looked up.
me strikee pay dirt me no bury
dead Mclean man in 'em grave; me
keep m claim"
The corpse sat up erect.
Jim, get my revolver and chase that
pigtail off. Jump his damn sepulchre
and tax his camp s. each for prospect
ing on the public domain. These Mon
golyun hordes has got to be put under.
And I say, Jim, if any more serpents
come foolin' round here, drive 'em off,
faint right to be bitin' o fellow when
whisky's 50 gallon. Dern all foreign
ers, anyhow"
And the mortal pulled on its boots.

| But joy ecstatic bliss beyond compared
If spring. revolving, would but leave them there -

The Lesser Evil.

DR.. Hall advocates some rather start
ling IDEAS concerning cold air. He is
most earnestly against cold bed-cham-
bers, which he says imperil health and
invite fatal diseases. To this-giving Q
contrast of come fifty degrees between
the temperature of the lungs and the air
of the room-the writer ascribes FREE
quent and fatal attacks of inflamma-
ton Of the lungs, ard concludes With
the assertion (which win astonish scme)
that it is even safer to sleep in bad air
all night with temperature over fifty
than In q pure air with q temperature
under forty. For the bad air may sicken
you, but cannot kill you while the cold
air can and does kill very often.

THE ROCK ISLAND COUNTY FARMERS.
The Farmers's Association of Rock
Island county held its annual meeting
last week. S. Nj. Smith, Secretary of
the State Association, made lengthy
address, full of his accustomed vigor.
He denounced the old political parties
as corrupt, and called on farmers and
workingmen to assert their rights to in
dependent action. He predicted that
the great contest between the farmers
and the old parties would take place
within the next six months, the struggle
being to secure costrol of Congress.
He advised the people to nominate no
man for Congress who sought the place,
but to choose deliberately, and give
preference to young and vigorous men.

THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
THE MOVEMENT SPREADING

The Farmers Movement has taken
firm root, and is rapidly spreading in
Oregon and California. In the former
State 100 oranges are reported. Nearly
twice as many have been organized in
California, and new lodges are being
formed every day. In Washington
Territory twenty-seven oranges are In

State Secretary states, will be tripled
before the summer is over.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE CHANGERS Rally.

Unfurl your banners once again,
Ye men of Labors Rights mistaken;
Your country calls, nor calls in vain
While patriot fires your souls awaken.
Your country calls you from the field
Which tyrants spurn, but pillow and seber,
Hold sacred for the land which yields
Her Equal Rights for Law and Labor
Then in one strain, in deep refrain,
From Northern hills to Southern valleys,
Shout not in vain, For Northern grain
Anc Changers rights your Country rallies y
The People call on every side
To rouse the sluggish heart to action;
They shout, from old Niagara's tide
To Rocky mountains-Death to Faction
From Carolina's cotton plains,
To where New England's corn is cleaning,
That voice ascends in bugle-strains,
For Labor's Rights to all proclaiming
With mighty strain, in deep refrain,
From Western hills to Eastern valleys,
Shout not in vain, " For Eastern grain
And Changers Rights the People rallies J"
They who despise your honest toll,
And on your sacred rights would trample-
The rights your hands won from the soil
Aud made a nations proud example
Remember. they would spurn you now,
While yet for plumber crouchiDg, pleading,
And now to power wsuld basely bow,
The while your country's wounds are bleeding
Then, in one strain, in deep refrain,
From Southern fields TO Western valleys,
Shout not in vain, 81 For Western grain
And Changers rights the Nation rallies "
The trumpet peal of Right rings out,
Your country's soils declared in danger!
Unite your strength, the people shout,
In answer to the fearless Granger.
The patriot cause inecribed on high,
Your eagle banners folds displaying.
Awake again the battle cry,
Your countrys trumpet call obeying.
Then wake the strain again, again!
From Western plains to Southern valleys,
That not in vain for Southern grain
And Changers rights the Union rallies!

STRENGTH OF THE ORDER.

81. E. Huxley, Secretary of the State
Grange, reports the orderin most -four
ishing condition. The number of oranges
has increased from 346 in January to
over 400. The Secretary has also on
file duplicates of petitions sent on to
Washington for approval and record
which Will raise the entire number in
the State to 43O. The State Secretary
is sending out commissions to lodge
deputies in every county having organ
lied lodges. These deputies are author
lied to establish oranges in all places
where required, and to travel into
quarters where they have not been es-
tablished.
COOPERATION.
Outaeamie county numbers oranges,
with a membership of over 500. Ar
rangements have been made for pur-
chasing implements and arm-machinery
for all the lodges during the coming
summer, purchases to be made directly
of manufacturers, who concede at once
a reduction of 25 per cent. from the
prices formerly paid local agents. To
this favorable reduction on former
steals they expect to gain still more in
arrangements on freights. Recently
these farmers had their first experience
in purchasing through the officers of
their Council. Many of them were in
want of landplaster. They made out
THEM wants, and sent In to the business
agent of the Council, who found that
sixty tons were demanded. This at
former rates, bought through an agent,
would have cost $500, delivered at the
station at Appleton. Purchased through
the Council, it was delivered at the same
place for 1872, a saving of 1913 on for
mer modes of dealing, In the first trial.
FARMERs PADDING THEIR OWN CANOES
A letter from Waukesha, Waukesha
county, says: "There are ten oranges
of the Patrons of Husbandry in this
county, eight Of which have been insti
tuted within the past month There arr
also five town insurance companies, to-
the mutual insurance of farm property
The farmers appear greatly disposed t.
paddle their own canoes In this sec
ton"
FARMERS INSURANCE. COMPANY.
Less than y year Ego the farmers o
Oakland formed an insurance compan,
for their mutual protection. They nov
have a paid-up stock of 10000, ant
carry seventy-three policies on building
in the township. They takerisks at one
fourth of per cent.

in the work of the order. During the
session the bill presented to the house
by Hon. j. P. G. Shanks, for the estab-
lishment of United States Court at
Fort Wayne, was discussed and Endorsed
by them. A general exchange of views
on topics involving the future prosper
ity and good of the order was INDUCED
in, and the delegates dispersed with a
firmer faith than ever that the great
farmers movement is bound to succeed.
1,450 ORANGES ORGANIZED.
The Louisville Courier-Jo,yaal' s
New Albany correspondent writes as
Deputy Frank C. Johnson reports four
teen hundred and fifty oranges organized in
the State and not fourteen hundred and fifty
grangers, as stated. There is considerable
difference between grange and q granger.
1.-THE candidates for Office this fall are go
ing to have a hard time of it between the tenn
perance movement and the grange movement.
They will find it no easy matter to occupy an
Independent position, and il they attempt it.
the chances are they will be beaten; and il
they take sides they are beaten certain. The
fact is, they will be damned if they do, and
they will be damned if they don't We have
paid but little attention to the candidates
struggle which is now going on in this county,
but, from general observation, we are satisfied
that our candidates are having a rouak lime
of it, and don't know in the morning but what
they will be wrecked before night ON the tenn
deralce or grange platform"
POLITICAL OWLS.
The Indiana Granger is responsible
for this
I'VE very often see owls sitting on some
neighboring tree, watching the movements of

keeping the owls company, by watching farm

GOOD WORDS.

The closing paragraph of the annual
report of the Kansas State Agent has
the true ring
"Our order is in it's infancy and rapidly
spreading, and no one can fathom it's posi-
bilities for good in the future. What is most
needed at the present time, is to perfect and
systematic our business branch. It cannot
be denied, in our own State at least that this
feature has been prominent one in swelling
our membership; and we ought to use every
means in our power to make cooperation in
buying and selling among agriculturists sue
cess and at the same time remembering al
ways that the achievements of our order in q
social and educational point Of view, are not
to be computed in dollars and cents. And
thus may we be enabled in due time to solve
the mystery of why it is that the producing
classes Of our land enjoy so little of that
veal of which they, and they only, are the
creators ; and in the words Of . leading jour
nal may We not hope. the hour is about to
strike when labor will assert its rights and
produces, but that society shall accord to it
all the dignity which it attaches to any occu-
patton"
SMASHING THE MONOPOLY RINGS.
One link after another is dropping
they are completely broken asunder, and
competition is fully restored to its legit-
innate place in trade, we may expect still
larger reductions in prices. The Climax
Reaper and Mower Company have dis
continued their agencies and are selling
direct to farmers in any quantity at two
thirds their usual rates. We have just
been shown a new and perfect corn
planter which will be sold for about
half the usual price. So the grange
movement is not only benefting its
members but everybody else.-Spirit OF
Kansas.

MINNESOTA
Senator Donnelly is pressing bill
through the Minnesota Legislature al
lowing railroads seven per cent. interest
on their actual cost in their earnings.
The balance to go to the State. The
bill passed the Senate. On this point
the Senator said:
"This excludes all fictitious investments
| all bogus lands all watered stocks all stecsl-
ing capitalized; all dishonest mutations of
every kind. 1t brings as down to the bed
rock The question is, dollar for dollar,
| what did the road cost? On that let us pay
interest. But to pay interest on bonds swollen
to cover fraud and peculation were to offer q
permanent premium for dishonesty; to an
nrally tax labor to enrich rascslity. II shrewd
men have stood between the corporations and
the capitalists, and, with no resources but SUI
perior energy and cunning, have amassed
fortunes and mortgsged the roads to cover
their earnings that is no affair of ours Let
them settle it with the men who furnished ths
money"
