valuable Suggestions.

To put your newly acquired knowl-
edge to practical test IN the useful pur-
poses of life, being a member of the
grange you have noble opportunity.
At this leisure time of the year your
grange might meet weekly and discuss
the following or similar subjects, to-
wit:
First-Care of implements. Hints
Where are they now? Answer in the
fence-corner.
SecOnd-What new instruments must
I have next year ? Hints: Make up
your lists to put in your agents hands.
Third-Winter care of horses and
mules. --.,---.-
Fourth-Winter care of milk COWS,
and how to make them profitable.
Fifth-Winter care and management
of stock, cattle, etc.
Sixth-Sheep-rsising. Can it be
made profitable?
Seventh-Winter care of sheep and
lambs.
Eighth-Whioh are the best breeds
for our purposes
Ninth-Whieh is the best breed of
hogs for our purposes
Tenth-How shall We market our
surplus hogs, on foot or in the Darrell
or cask Hta I8 s.I7e-.a
Eleventh-In a farm of 16O acres,
what proportion should be in grass (? {
TweIfth-What in wheat?
Thirteenth-Whati in corr?
Fourteentb-What in vegetables?
Fifteenth-What in fruit !?
Sixteenth-The value of manure, and
how to increase its quantity. s.-., -..-
Seventeenth-The best time to apply
Eighteenth Comparative merits d

Nineteenth-The best time to SEED
oats. Is the oat crop profitable?
! TWentieth-The best preparation fol
a corn crop. Time to plant. Distance
| apart. How many plants to the hill
Twenty-first-The best mode of cul
ture.
These questions may be varied indef
nitely, and many others equally impor
tant and interesting added. There Ii
not time to discuss the quarter of in
teresting subjects in one year, if TIT
grange met every week the year round
and yet I have heard men say that thei
/ oranges were not interesting, for wan
1 of new subjects.
Of course there are other classes o
questions equally or more interesting
that every grange ought to take up ant
discuss, and many of them are doing it
But these should not be neglected
questions of business cooperation, a

tiles are of the greatest importance
So also the question of direct trad

Tunneling Niagara River.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
gives the following comprehensive state
ment of the plan and the cost Of the
proposed work The fact has hereto
fore been stated that Civil Engineer
William Wallace had prepared a plan
for tunneling the Niagara river at Buff
falo for submission to and consideration
by thOse, engaged in the movement for
providing additional facilities for travel
between this point and Canada. A few
facts in regard TO the proposed plan
will be OF interest. 1t cOntemplates a
passenger depot on the terrace, near
Main street, with q railroad track run
ming through the terrace to Court street,
down Court street to its foot, across the
canal thence down between the canal
and the track of the Niagara falls
branch of the Central railroad to point
a short distance south Of the railroad
bridge over the canal, where the cutting
will commence. The tunnel is to run
under Black Rock harbor and the river,
and emerge on the Canada side near
where the old car shop formerly stood.
After the surface is again reached the
track viii be continued around the high
ground and join that of the Canada
southern railway near the Episcopal
church. The whole length of the cut
ting, including the tunnel, is 4 900 feet,
and of the tunnel proper 2. $40 feet.
The proposed dimensions of the tunnel
are thirty feet wide and twenty feet
high. The grade from the center is put
down st sixty feet to the mile. The
estimated expense. OF the work complete
is 81, 500, 600.

Fashion Notes.


Lobe earrings are going out Of style.
Very few ladies wear diamonds IN
public nowadays.
They now cut the apron front in bat
lement pattern.
Some of the ball dresses have two
overskirts and long train.
Skirts-walking skirts-have all the
fullness behind, the front being drawn
by cords.
Irish pOplins are much worn this sea-
son. They are very handsome, for q
good pOplin costs twice as much as a
good silk. -. E
How shall 1 make over my last year
suit is now the question asked by
ladies whose pas are not as rich as they
used to be.
Bonnets are gradually getting into
something like shape. The newest one
is fac 8iDliLe In velvet of a dish pan
with brim.
The number of buttons on kid gloves
increase. Ordinary street gloves have
six buttons, and evening gloves as many
is twelve.
At length the pretty Sicillienne cloth
begins to be appreciated here, though
merchants have had TO reduce the fabric
10 half its original price.
Almost all bonnets have a roll or
twist of velvet and silk under the brim,
thus making it look very high. Con
trasts Of color are the exception this
season, though peach blossom with
brown, and lemon-eolor with myrtle
green, are used with good effect. ,.--
A bonnet to match the dress Is so mi
versal, that a costume seems Incomplete

of the order, that it may. prove short

these classes, let II be said, that every

these, not the rapidity of its growth,
nor the fate of defunct organizations,

the order is based upon correct princi-
pies, adheres strictly To- the purposes of

which past experience has demonstrated

ing to prevent it from standing as long
as mankind exists and men prey upon
each other. Il is well known that there
are political questions that men can not
unite upon. Let ell such be excluded,
peremptorily and forever. Let every

one of the grandest ever set on foot,

THERE IS NO DEATH.-If It be true
that nature abhors a vacuum, it is equal
" true that the Great Creator abhors
death and glories IN life. There is real
" no such thing as death-the term is a
misnomer, used to designate the changes
which occur in life. Life, eternal life,
is created by the laws of Almighty Will
power, which are as immutable In their
application as is the existence of the
Creator himself. When God made life,
He made everything necessary to sus-
tain 1t, but left it for mans progressive
intelligence to discover, convert and
utilize. Good medicine is to the ailing
physique what good fuel is to the exPir-
ing flame; the better the fuel, the
quicker the fre-the better the medi
cine, the quicker comes relief from
pain. California Vinegar Bitters is
LIES elixir for old or young. Use this
medicine properly and you viii live to
a good old age without those physical
ailments which make seventy years q
burden.

The Flower Garden.


Pere1miaLs.-It is not yet too late to
divide and replant old plants.
There Is but little TO add to our notes
of last month in this department. Ev-
ery5hing should be done to help along
the work of the coming spring.
Planting of many things can be done
this month as well as in the spring,
as long as the ground remains open.
Trees and shrubs may be moved readily
now, and many kinds which start early
are better transplsnted now than In the
spring.
BuI68.-If not planted last month,
do not delay doing it at once. Take up
gladioIuses and other tender bulbs.
Cover all bulb beds with a coating of
straw or leaves.
Protection.-Give some protection to
all half-hardy plants, and even her
baceous plants that are quite hardy
are greatly benefited by a slight pro

Use Of Cats Whiskers.

Every. one must have observed what
are usually called the Yhiskers on
cats upper lip. The use of these in
state of nature is very Important. They
are organs of touch. They are attached
to bed of close glands under the skin,
and each of these long hairs Is connect
ed with the nerves of the lip. The
slightest contact Of these Whiskers with
any surrounding object ia thus felt
more distinctly by the animal, although
the hairs of themselves have no feeling.
They stand out on each side of the lion
IS well as in the COMMON cat, so that
from point to point they are equal TO
the width OF the animals body. If we
imagine, therefore, lion stealing
through a covert of wood IN an imper-
feet light, we shall at once see the use
of these long hairs. They indicate to
him through the incest feeling any OBJ
stacle which may present itself to the
passage of its body; they prevent the
resting of the houghs and leaves which
would give warning to its prey, if he
were to attempt to pass through too
close a bush, and thus, In conjunction
with the soft cushions of his feet, and
the fur upon which he treads, they en-
able him to move toward his victim
with q stiffness even greater than that
Of @ snake which creeps along the grass,
and is not perceived until 1t is coiied
around its prey. These animals are all
beasts Of prey, and thus we see how
even these seemingly useless hairs be-
come great helps to them, and how
wisely God prepares every creature for
its work.

A GERMAN idea in the lecture bust
ness Is the propagation of little lecture
courses all through the country for the
common people. SchuItze- Delitseh, the
Berlin apostle of co operation. presides
over a society which has precisely this
object in view, and other educational
societies are stimulating popular intel
Iigence in other ways. These efforts
are greatly needed to give the German
commonalty hat fezibility of intelli-
gence which they certainly do not get
from their rigid school system, and to
compensate IN some measure for the
poorness of the newspapers. The latter
find themselves In a tighter box than
ever under the new press law, although
released from the payment of the stamp
tax. The instigatiOn or sanction of
disobedience to the laws is punished
BY three years Imprisonment, IN which
the writer, the editor, the publisher,
the printer and the newsbOy all have to
share, these five classes being made &C
completes in the crime by statute. This
accounts for the silence of the press on
the Arnim business and is driving PEG
pie to the London and Vienna papers
for their home news.
