NUMEROUS inquiries are being made of
late as to what has become OF the Worthy
Master and Lecturer of the Territorial
Grange. We have not heard of their being
among the oranges, nor have we had a line
from either of them for so long, that we,
like many others, are beginning to wonder
what has become of them. Our Worthy
Secretary is alive, and at his post, laboring
zealously for the prosperity of the Order, as
his frequent letter to this department go to
prove, &.4
Do not the other officers feel the weight
OF the responsibility resting with them, and
will they send. us a few lines? We care not
whether they are for publication or not.
Would prefer that they were, but. we desire
to hear from them anyhow.
There is, also, some inquiry made for our
Business Agent. We would be glad to hear
from him. In fact, we desire that each
grange would send in all occasional letter..
This is the proper season to make the
grange interesting, and when you have a
good meeting, don't fail to communicate the
intelligence to your paper, that others, en-
couraged by your good works, may take
courage and enter into the work with re-
newed activity.

FEATURES OF COOPERATION.

The distinctive features of true co-opera-
ton are
l.. Self-help and mutual-help. TIA man
will not work when in health ana fair OPP
~portunity is his, he may 60 hungry and
naked, and none need pity.
2. Cooperation means equity. 1t means
that all who contribute to the common good
shall share that good in proportion to what
they contribute in sacrifice, risk and work.
In other words, it means that outside buy
ers shall receive returns on their purchases.
8. Cooperation means pay as you go, buy
for case absolutely.
Cooperation means keeping expenses
within known income. It would not incur
rent and the expense of attendance, at the
rate of two thousand five hundred a year,
when it had not trade equal to a cent a day
clear income. &....
5. Cooperation means the absorption of
untriendly competition by not provoking it.
It sells at the same prices as others, and di-
vides on purchases.-S. /. Bulletin.
+ A GREAT ENrERpRIsE.-The oranges of
California and Oregon are taking a deep in
terest in the project of ship canal across
the Isthlnus of Panama, connecting the Pa
ciic and Atlantic oceans. The oranges
claim that California and Oregon expect to
ship this year a million tons OF wheat and
barley. Within a very few years they esti-
mate that the Pacific coast, including Cali
%tornia, Oregon and Washington Territory,
will be able to ship a million and a half tons
of grain annually. This grain is marketed
in Europe, 10000 miles distant from Cali
fornia, and costs $40 per ton. Not only has
this immense distance to be trayersed, but
the treacherous equator must be crossed
twice, and the stormy Cape Horn doubled.

THE GRANGE AND POLITICS.

The question of Grange influence in poll
tics is receiving undue and very unintelli-
gent consideration from many local politi-
cal journals at the present time. In some
counties it happens are that men who
members ofthe Grange are put in nomination
by one or the other of the political parties.
Party leaders have, in some instances, mis-
calculated. They have expected to gain a
new element of strength by placing a
"Granger" on their ticket, as if the organ-
ization would, in a body, support such can
didate. There is nothing in the principles
of the Grange which has the Least, political
significance.
Farmers will not support a candidate any
quicker simply because he is a "Granger."
If he Is a worthy man they may give him
more than a party vote because of his indi-
vidnal popularity and his business interests
being in common with their own, but they
will not be biased in their preference one
iota by Grange ties. Place two farmers in
the field, one a member of the Grange and
his opponent not a member, the outsider
would have equal chances. for the "Grange
yote.'' Indeed he would have a better
chance for men are sometimes oyersensitive
about seeming to be influenced by consider
ations which are charged as affecting their
preferences.
But political journals and leaders act UNI
wisely when they attempt to raise opposi-
ton to an opponent by proclaiming that he
IS the " Changers candidate" II, anything
would induce men to permit society a~ssocia-
tons to Influence their choice of candidates,
it seems to us that unjust insinuations and
charges would have that effect.
The member of the Masonic fraternity
who presumes to control the suffrages of
his brother masons. is looked upon as. an I'M
worthymember. The patron who makes
claim to support because of his position in
the Grange is equally culpable, but those
who would vote against a man either be-
cause he is a mason or q member of the
Grange, are equally lacking in an intelli-
gent conception of the scope of those socie-
ties and act unfairly as well as unwisely.
A candidate should stand on his own mer-
its. After giving party principles due

The Story Of the H0dja.

Once as the hodja Of Turkey was
walking in q cemetery by the side OF a
highway, it occurred to him to hide in
nh old tomb to watch whether the good
and bad angels of Judgment would
come. While he was thus waiting, all
at once there came the sound OF bells;
and struck with the idea that the day OF
resurrection and the last judgment were
at hand, he crept out of his hiding
place. It was a caravan going by, and
the mules, frightened at the sudden ap-
partition, fell into disorder and stam-
peded." . Upon this. the mule drivers,
sticks in hand, beset the hodja, and in
.quired who he was. 3. ...
~ "a dead man." - r.
"What are You doing ont here'
thena" .@t" ".
Hi" Only taking walk" .
"a walk9 Well walk you !" And
they assaulted the hodja with such
vieor that he only escaped with many
bruises, broken head and two black
eyes. ." :.
When bis wife saw him in such q
plight, she asked where he came from.
"From the dead, " said he. 81 have
been in q tomb"
"Well, how do things go on in the
other world9"' ..
"Why, wife, you had better look out
there for one thing-not to frighten the
pack mules. ,. -. ......

An Heiress to $3.50, ,OOO,O 900.

Miss Melissa Elder Wasya poor clerk
in a., hohf- dining room in Atchison,
Kansas, and here is the account from q
journal of that city of her wonderful
luck, Al short time Ag9 Melissa Elder
4elI heir gto p 9M2. .6M 600 sstefling,
amounting to about $3.50, 900, 900. It
seems that her great-gseat'grandfat
on her mothers side, who was Roman
senator, had all his property, which
consisted rofr q vast amount yof real
estate in and around the city Of Rome,
con6scated to the Roman empire on ac-
count OF his being concerned with Marc
Antony in the terrible assault on the
body of Cesar.I y Cesar's wife was also
accused at the same time, but Marc An
tony. .afterwardS said she was above sus-
picion, andi nothings sMas done in the
matter. All the property of Melissa's 8
great great-grandfather; however, was
con fscated upon the testimony OF q de-
tective. /. The detective afterward was
taken. with frenzied remorse, and wrote q
full confession, moved to .Pompeii, and
was living in that il-fated town when
the s11dden catastrophe which, befen it
cut him down ia the prime of lite. Dur
ing the recent discoveries among the
ruins of Pompeii this confession was
discovered, and Miss Elders great-great-
grandfather, was fully ,yindicated. A
Chicago lawyer, who was travelling
through Europe, heard of the circum-
stance, and by aid of detectives, found
in the person Of Melissa Elder the only
surviving heir of her lamented great
preat-grandfather. The lawyer has
taken the prosecution Of the case on a
contingent fee, and Melissa leaves for
Rome to. take possession Of that town.
OF course, we tender our congratula-
tions; $3.50, 200, 600, do not grow on
bushes.

The Probabilities Of Sickness.

The business Of life insurance is large
ly based on purely mathematical caleu-
lation, involving the laws of .probabili-
ties, the object Of which is to determine,
by careful comparison Of extended stat
istical returns, and like information,
the probable duration of persons life
at every year of his existence. On the
tabulated results is founded the scale OF
premium charges, proportionate to the
risk assumed. While every one is, OF
course, interested in knowing how long
he is likely to live, he hasa more imme-
diste and vital interest in learning how
often he is likely to be sick, and for how
many days per year he will probably, by
i'll health, be incapacitated for work.
DR.. Reginald Southey has recently been
delivering a course of valuable lectures
on .Individual Hygiene " in London,
and in one he introduced a table of f"E1.
pectation of Sickness" which he had
prepared, and which is as follows: AT
twenty years Of age, calculate on four
sick days yearly. At twenty to thirty,
Eve or six days, At forty five, seven
days. At fifty, nine or ten days. At
fifty-hvo, twelve or thirteen days. At
sixty, sixteen days. At sixty-fve, thirty
one days. At seventy, seventy -four
