BOYS Do Something.

We want to say word to the boys
of the farm. We have no sermon to
deliver, no lecture-just bare sugges-
tion-and we hope every farmers boy
viii heed it. Make a beginning for
yourselves this Centennial year. The
time will finally come when you must
look to your own exertions for liv-
ing. 1t is your wisest course to fit
yourselves early, for the battle of life.
Solicit from your father the right to
plant and cultivate some certain plot
of ground, be it ever SO small, the pro-
duct from which shall be your own
Prepare it most thoroughly, plant II
with care, keep il clean of weeds, har-
vest the crop and sell it, putting the
proceeds at q fare rate Of interest, so
that when you become Of age you will
be able to begin your business career
as Independent, well-to-do citizens.
Suppose you are tenor twelve or four
teen wears of age. Just sit down and
figure up what the mere trifle you may
earn yourselves this year,at compound
interest, will amount to by thu time
you are twenty-one years old Then
if you add to it each year, in a proper
ton to your efficiency as farmers, you
will be astonished at the result. Do
not fear that your parents will not sec
ond your efforts. Nothing will please
them so much as to realize that you are
really young farmer, with great hopes
of the future, and 4 great ambition to
excel. They know that the farm house
is the real home of happiness and COM
fort, if within ii are found content
ment and high aspirations. The time
has fully come when the lords of the
soil are lords of the country. With
careful lives, with good education,
with even fair ability, the farm boy
may hold any and all positions, when
in manhood's prime, and it is to him
that the Nation, in these days OF cor
ruptioa, must look for true manhood.
Whether your parents are rich orpoor
does not matter, it is individuality
that wins. Strive to have and be some
thing. while the bright sun of youth
lights the way.-Prairie Farmer.

The executive committee Of the Ma
tional Grange have held very lengthy
executive session, and carefully exam
ined the receipts and expenditures of
the National Grange from its organiza-
ton to the present time. A full re-
port of all receipts and expenditures
viii soon be published, and The false
hoods Of those who have been talking
of the stealings of Grange officers, a
great fund in the National Grange
treasury, millions of dollars sent from
the Oranges to the National Grange,
will be shown up. The report shows
that all the transactions of the Nation

acted as the most careful man conducts
his business.-V Vermont Farmer.

Success and Growth Of the Order.

The Master of the National Grange
estimates the total sum saved to Pa
irons through the various business
agencies at s25,OO0,OO0, and the Secre-
tary shows on his side that there were
more Oranges organized during the
two past months than ever before. AS
these facts can be supported by Off
cial documents and figures, would it
not be as well for the enemies of the
Order to give up their telling lies
about the falling off, and, accepting
the inevitable, try and get into a
squarer way of doing business more
in accordance with Grange principles?

IRON THE DAILY OF SUNDAY

A MODERN MIRACLE The age of won
ders has returned, if we can place faith in
the reports which reach Us from Tumwater,
where the healing of the sick, by laying on
of hands, finds several firm believers, since
the advent of an cxcentric individ ual at that
place few days ago. The following facts
are gathered from eyc-witnesses of his mar
Vicious power: On the morning of Wednes-
day, the 2Sth ult., short, thick-set man, of
sandy complexion, apparently about 3Oyears
of age made his appearance at the residence
of Mr.. N. Barnes, and stating that he was
sent by the Lord to heal the sick, asked per-
mission TO minister to the sufferings of Mrs.
Barnes, lady "a years of age, who for a
great portion of her life has been afflicted
with an ulcer on the leg, near the ANGLE, which
has defied all efforts for relief Permission

they fell into the filth below which was

first to respond. When he saw the two un-
fortunate men struggling for life, he ex

CENTENNIAL SERVICES.

To-day centennial services will be
held by the Methodist Episcopal de.
nomination throughout the world, in
accordance with the programme rec
commended by the board of Bishops.
The morning services will consist OF
discourses suitable to the occasion,
while the afternoon or evening will be
given to the Sabbath School children,
and such exercises as their teachers
may provide. In the Centennial adj
dress of the Bishops, at the late Gen
eral Conference, the following language
was used:
ave earnestly cn,rcat you to complete
the scheme thus inaugurated. Throughout
our whole communion let Thanksgiving,
PRAYER, and memorial discourse declare and
increase our gratitude to the sovereign OF
nations, and our conviction that national
well,being can be guaranteed only by loyalty
to His righteous government. Let generous
gifts devoted, in permanence, to the Chris
tian training of youth, and thereby to the
highest service of tie State, attest the love
we bear to our country and its institutions.
In this day of rejoicing, as in past days OF
trial, let it be seen that the free church is
pre-eminently the friend and alley of the
| free State.

about GO more, making grand total of
344 acres in hops in that district the
present year. The yield is about 1000
pounds to the acre. While this show
ing is exceedingly creditable to the
producers, we note the fact that hup-
raising appears to be altogether too
much the reliance of the husbandman.
A partial or total failure of the crop,
which is not very probable, or a stag
nation of prices, which is quite possible,
might embarrass those who had made
no provision for such a contingency.
A division of crops, in soil adapted to
so many staple products, would appear
to be the best safeguard against such an
occurrence. Farmers have relied almost
wholly upon the general market for
grain, but this year they are growing
sufficient of oats and barley to feed
