Ex-Spcakcr Blaine has written a letter
on the school question, taking grounds IN
favor of the adoption of a Constitutional
amendment prohibiting to the States any
interference with the freedom of religion,
or any control by any religious sect
of moneys raised by taxation for the
support of schools, 0 r its division among
such scots. Mr.. Blaine assigns as the
reason for this, that whatever reasonable
disposition may be felt by the great body
of the American Catholics, their priests
are pushed on by the spirit and direct
instigations of Rome to demand either n
control of our public schools or u divi-
sion of school money, and that they
will never cease the agitation. Mr..
Blaine observes that this would not in
terfere with the right of every State to
have just such a school system as its citi-
zens may prefer, subject to the simple
restriction that the schools shall not be
made the arena for sectarian controversy
or theological discussion, and in case the
Romanists should get a majority in any
State, either by their W strength or
through partisan influences, this amend
ment would undoubtedly prevent the
carrying out of any designs adverse to
the schools.

The Grange.

It is hardly six years since
the first Grange was established
in the United States. Its growth
since then has been almost I'M
precedented. In January, 1869,
there were ten Oranges; one in
Pennsylvania, one in Ohio, one
in Illinois, one i'll New York,
and six in Minnesota. In 1870
the number had increased to
thirty-eight, and the following
year to one hundred and TWEEN
ty-five. The grand popularity
of the movement did not begin
until 1873, when the first session
of the National Grange was
held in Washington, at which
nineteen Oranges were repre-
scented. At the next meeting of
the National Grange, at st. Lou
is, in 1874, there were 10000
Oranges reported, $4,000 men,
bers. The present body repre-
sents $1,000 subordinate Gran
ges, with an estimate member
Ship of 100000, including wo-
men. AS to the financial stat
us of the Order, it is claimed
that the assets of the Order, in
cash and government bonds.

Frozen Eggs.

1t often happens that eggs
will get frozen so as to crack
the shells in severe cold wealth
or, and are of course unfit to
sell; but if they are kept fro
zen until needed for use, then
brought into a warm room, and
boiling water poured over them,
then left till cool, the egg will
be uninjured, and will beat as
nicely as if it had net been
chilled, and is just as good for
any use. After being once
thawed it mnst be used imme-
diately; if allowed to stand a
day or two, it will not be fresh

To those who are infatuated
with Texas we commend the
careful perusal of the following
extract from the Waco Adrdnce:
We remarked a little while
back that those papers which
constantly represent our State as
a paradise for all sorts of people,
commit more than a serious er-
ror. We uphold its claims upon
capitalists and agriculturists,
but are free to say that penni-
less young men especially, who
expect to find any realization of
their expectations of CONNER
cial employment and success.
will be grievously disappointed.
On Monday evening in the
eity of Dallas, one of the most
thriving places in Texas, a
young man named Thomas,
worn out with fruitless endeav-
ors at obtaining employment,
took his own life. He was only
twenty-four years of age, and
his character was represented
as having been free from blem-
ish.

Early Tomatoes.

When tomato planting time
comes round, people often have
a great run around to get plants,
when it is very easy grown as
window plants. Small soap box
es, cut in half so as to make them
shallow, and holes bored in the
bottom so as to allow the surplus
moisture to escape, make excel
lent vessels for raising plants.
After SO doing they can be put in
any dark place. In a few days
they will sprout, then put them
in the window, where the sun s
light can fall on them. As they
come up and grow thickly, they
can be thinned; and the plants
drawn out, set in another box,
if good quantity is desired. Few
ordinary gardens, however, need
more than a hundred plants, and
these an ordinary soap box, such
as we have described, will hold
very we'll till the time of planting
arrives. The tomato is easily
grown as a window plant, and in
this way every body can have
plants without the trouble of hunt
ing for them.-MaryIarad Far

We have had repeated warn
ings that this grasshopper story
was being overworked, and now
it is frankly said that the peo-
pie of Nebraska are alarmed at
the damage which is being done
to the State by exaggerated &C
countsof thedestitution wrought
in their country by the ferocious
grasshopper and the highflying
locust. 1t is pity that good
natured and generous people
should have been imposed upon
by tales of imaginary woe; but,
from what we can learn, there
is very little foundation for the
tales of distress that a few I'M
thinking people have circulated.
The Chicago Tribune has re-
peatedly called attention to the
baselessness Of these sensation
al reports of devastations by
grasshoppers, and the latest ac-
counts from the "stricken dis

What Cows are Worth,

Some men, North and South,
have yet to learn the value of
dairy COWS. The Utica On. Y
Observer says:
We learn that Ira S. Burdick,
Of North Brookfeld, Madison
county, n. Y, realized from
two COWS during the year end
ing Jan. %, 1920 from butter
sold $3.50 lbs. at forty cents,)
S88.32 from cheese, and 500 for
milk sold, making $399.32.-
The amount of cash realized the
year previous was $500 or $500.
One of the COWS came in Jan.
%, 1874, and the other Feb. Is.
The Buffalo Courier reports
that Mr.. Oliver Brunson, of
Ellery, Chautauqua county,
made and sold the past season
1885 pounds Of butter from
sixteen cows, or an average of
3O2 pounds to the COW. This
was exclusive of the milk and
butter consumed by the family.
His entire production of butter
will average him thirty-five
cents per pound, or a trifie more
than sos each COW.
Sixteen COWS that give their
owner sixteen hundred and
eighty dollars worth of butter
sold in a year, and several hun
dred dollars worth Of hog meat
made on the buttermilk, are
live property, about ten times
more self multiplying than even
our slaves werein their best days

Hanging an Ak.

Get your blacksmith to make
an iron wedge to fasten the han
die in with. 1t will, cost but
fifteen or twenty cents. 1t
should be about two and a half
inches long, and two in width,
and the head of the wedge should
be large enough to cover the
eve of the ak. 1t is much bet
ter than the wooden one gener-
ally used for such purposes, as it
can be easily knocked out with
a cold chisel and hammer. The
usual method of burning out a
helve after it has been broken,
softens the steel of the ak. An
other advantage is that some
times an ak is broken, while the
handle remains good, then the
iron wedge can be knocked out,
and ready to be put in another

Harmless HAIR REsToRA-
TIvE.-The basis of all the best
lotions for restoring hair is can
tharides or ammonia. A solution
of borax in camphor water is
useful. It cleans the roots of
hair and acts very slightly as a
stimulant, and thereby it will
serve to promote the growth of
the hair. But one Of the best
stimulants we know of that has
not hitherto been published, is
this: Vinegar of Cantharides,
