Taste in Farm Houses.

An exchange tells us that Colonel
Ingersoll wants to see farmers wives
dress with more care and better taste.
which would cost no more than their
present style. and above all, he wants
to see them pitch their miserable little
cook stoves out of the window and get
a decent range, over which they can
cook without cooking themselves.
We should like Ii II he had added a
word of the floral surroundings. No
one knows how : neat little floral gar
den adds to the pleasures of life. But
we hardly know whether il is right to
address this counsel TO If
they are careless or slovenly it is too
often the mems own fault. \ woman

The grange itself is cooperative, but
not necessarily for the purpose of bust
ness gains. Whenever and wherever
1t has been used solely for such gain
1t has fallen to decay, for it has had
shifting foundation. The first. needs
OF the order are the strengthening If
social ties, the development of conf
dence, mental culture, and the con5e-
quent elevation of manhood and wo-
manhood which after all is the grand
object. As a means for the attain
ment of these objects, the grange is a
worthy institution. When it is di-
verified from them. to promote anv
scheme, it must fail of its true pur-
pose. If the National Grange will
study the situation it must see that it

the general welfare, than to divert all
the trade profits of the year into the
pockets of men already too mercenary
to allow thought to stray from the
everlasting theme-material gains-to

Fatal Experience.

Two travellers who We're breakfast
ing in an inn at Little CourCelles, near
Paris. a short time since, called for a
bottle of wine. and the i~nnkeeper sent
a servant into the cellar TO fetch II.
After waiting a long time for the girl
TO return. the hOuSekeeper went down
stairs to find out what was the matter.
She likewise failed TO return with tile
wine. and as the travellers were now
impatient the innkeeper himself made
the descent into the cellar. but was not
from the breakfast table III alarm. and
ran down into the cellar TO ascertain
what had happened. and his companion
waited in vain for his temperance.
There was now only Il man in the
tavern. and he was too wise TO vanish
from the scene as abruptly a. the rest
had done. He ran into the street and
called in the neighbors. One Of these.
a physician, ventured as far a. the
door of the cellar. and pushed ii open
SO as 70 give egress to the noisome gases
imprisoned there. After the cellar had
been partially ventilated the neighbOrs
found on the floor the bodies Of the
four persons who had disappeared 80
mysteriouslv. Three of them were re-
stored to consciousness, but the girl,
who had led the way, died. On the
previous evening the innkeeper had
left a vat of must in the cellar. and the
carbonic-acid gas emitted from the fer
menting liquid had poisoned the air.

Theory is important, science invalu-

practical methods and results. Where
else can they be better obtained than
by the individual efforts of earnest,

There is Danger Ahead,

When those usually active li:tle organs,

those Orgaus need stimulating, and the
best possible agent for that purp0se-slnce

in combination with its tonic and cathartic

GROWTH OF MoBILE.-The Mobile

prosperity. Il says: "Our naval.store
business gives employment 10 a host OF
men whose families live in the city.
The early vegetable fruit business has
likewise grown enormously, and the
band of improved gardens and farms
around the city has materially expand

sugar-came farm yielding 800 to 400

SENATOR WALLACE OF Pennsylvania
has been conspicuous in the financial
business of Congress so far; but II 10
only fair to say that he has asked to be
held free from responsibility for some
of the notions embodied in the bills
which he has introduced. One ofthese
refers to the discovery and p~atenting
OF o metal called "goloid," which 10
made by mixing one pound Of gold
With t~wenty.four pounds of silver and
two aud three.quarter pounds Of cop
per. II is asserted that two hundred
and afty~eight grains Of this mixture
is equal in value TO q gold or silver
dollar. The bill directs the issue o
&Q0,000,000 worth of this metal-250,
100000 one dollar pieces, 2o0,000,00C
half.dollar pieces aud 200,000,000 quar-.
ter-dollar pieces. The bill also directs
the issue of 100000 900 worth of new
Treasury notes. The goloid aud notes
go issued shall be interchangeable, shall
be full legal tender, and shall take the
place of the gold and silver coins and
