A Voracious Eater.
London Telegraph.

A remarkable feat of eating and
drinking against time is reported by the
Hungarian press, and said to have been
performed by a youthful Magyaher re-
siding in Grosswardlen. This surpass-
ing trenchman laid wager, and is said
to have won it with several minutes and
an omelette to spare, that he would be-
tween the hours of $50 P. NJ. and mid
night, devour the following comestibles,
it being clearly understood that there
should be a full portion of each dish i n
succession, any two of which portions
may be estimated q constituting q
hearty meal for a full-grown adult bless
ed by nature with a lively appetite:
Roast beef with paprika sauce and po-
tatoes; a Viennese veal outlet with peas;
a fillet of veal with dumplings; grilled
pork and pumpkins; half a fowl fried
in batter; bubble and squeak; a beef
steak with poached eggs; fried calves
liver; calves brains and kidneys;
picked veal; stewed beef; q broiled
goose liver, and a fricasseed fowl with
carrots. He not only contrived to stow
away all the articles enumerated in this
comprehensive menu, washing them
down with two quarts of beer, four bot
ties of old wine, and three OF aerated
water; but when he had cleared the last
of his appointed dishes-the clock-dial
then marking ten minutes to l2Ihe
asked for a three-egg omelette, which
vanished down his throat before the
hour struck.

Nothing but a farmer" is a phrase
that is heard now and then in America.
1t would probably be heard in no other
country short of Algiers. In the best
at least, of the older countries the
tradesman, the teacher, the mechanic
not to say the commercial traveller
would congratulate himself ON the good
fortune that promoted him to the stand
ing of a freehold farmer, even though
his acres should be few enough to be
counted on his fingers. The notion that
a man stands a little higher who years
linen and bends over a desk or q count
or than the man who wears and holds a
plow-handle is n backwoods notion. II
1t has had any infiuence-as it doubtless
has had-in beguiling young men from
the shop, the mill and the Office, it will
not have it much longer. As a new
country sentiment it will go the way of
the log-cabins and the corduroy roads.
Good Company.

SO.ODeraIiYe Labor.

Mrs. J.. Stow, President CT San
Francisco Social Science Society,
recently delivered lecture in that
city, on How the Poor can Get
bread.' She said that in her trav-
els throughout Europe, she had
made study Of her lecture, and
came to the conclusion that the way
in which the condition of the poor
and laboring classes could be mel
iorated was through cooperation
She asserted enphatically that the
system of competition has been sap
ping the life blood from the poorer
classes, but that, being rotten in the
core, it would socn totter to the
earth and be superseded by the en-
nobling and humane system of CO.
operation. Competition is degra-
ding and dishonest; but co-opera-
ton is ennabling and honest. The
lecturer laid stress upon the asser
ton that until stores, shops and bu-
siness in general are operated on the
co operative system, which has
been adopted with great success in
Europe and in some of the States.
poverty and distress in every shape
would hold sway. The able bodied
tramp would be retired and forced
to work for his living under the pro
posed system, and the little homes
of the poor would be protected
She referred, in feeling terms. to the
incarceration of the Muscle Slough
settlers, who had been lodged in a
felon's cell because they dared to
protect their homes and their wives
and children from a ravenous col
poration, which condition would
not darken our history if we lived
under cooperative system. I'm
der the proposed system, murder and
other crimes would not be tolerable,
and the man who would dare to
take a citizens life would be i'm
partially delt with, which now they
are not. srt4 s.s# sl

From the SECRETARY OF the Mis-
sisSIppi State Grange.

Editor Patron. I have deter
mined to wait no longer for a leis
ure moment, but take time to send
you few lines.
In late number of that sterling
paper, The Farmers Friend and
Grange Aa7ocate, Published in
Pennsylvania noticed paragraph,
which ran thus, Three Oranges
in Greene county, Pennsylvania, re-
port en- aggregate increase of ii
new members, initiated during the
quarter ending March 81, 1851. Can
any other county in or out of Penn
sylvania show as good a record in
this respect,as little Greene?" I could
not resist answering it, and telling
them that I thought several in Mis-
sissippi could, as Midway Grange
in Carroll county, alone, initiated
40 during the quarter he spoke of,
and Double Springs Grange, Oktib.
beha county, had during the quarter
ending December 81, $3.50, init
ated p, and took in five by demit,
and tie same Grange during the
next quarter had initiated eight
more, and took in six by demit.
And that the Oranges in Newton
county had initiated IS during the
quarter ending December 81, 1880,
and II more during the next quar-
ter, with one Grange yet to report
This-'s, think, doing rather better
taan Greeue county, Pennsylvania.
Indeed, with but very few ex
ceptions, all the reports coming in
to this office show an increased
membership, but those mentioned
above are certainly going ahead of
all the rest.
Dormant Oranges continue ia re-
vivc, not a week but brings III re-
port from one or more. And it
seems that the revival going on is
not only in this but in our sister
States. Kansas particularly boasts
! that she is not only reviving dor
mant Oranges, but organizing new
ones.
I have still much to do in the

We congratulate the Order in the
South that they have at last an OPP
poitunity of getting rid of the ineffi-
Gent, irresponsible agency system.
The State Oranges made a great
mistake in giving countenance to
these agencies, and the result was
the Order in many localities was
seriously injured. The so-called
Grange agencies at St. Louis have
grown strong and powerful from
the patronage of the members of
the Order, and if they have shown
any interest in the cause we have
yet to see it. These so-called
Grange agents-and we speak of
A. ]. Child and VIM. NJ. Price &
Co.-could have secured a large
amount of advertising patronage for
THE PATRoN-the only strictly
Grange journal in the South, if they
had been inclined to do so, but they
refused. These agents wanted the
Grange trade, and beyond that their
interest in the Order stopped.
One of these agents at Cincinnati.
Col. Hill, who has been sup
planted by a Wholesale Supply
House in that city, has established
an independent house, and we ,ex-
pect his relations with the Grange
will now cease.
The only legitimate Grange bust
ness houses are those established on
true Rochdale Cooperative system
like the Cincinnati Supply House,
the Southw estern Cooperative As

ply House at ST. Louis, and the
Texas Cooperative Association at
Galveston. These establishments
are thoroughly identified with the
Grange; they were established and
are conducted on the principles re

good Words for the Grange.

The Grange has its appointed
work, and if every one will put a
Shoulder to the wheel, the mesa
lands of faith, hope and charity will
soon be reached. Life is something
more than living, and he who ex
perds the energies of his soul in
looking after mammon will never
see the light of higher life. Then
why should we not work together
for good. to the end that our lives
may not be. altogether In vain! The
past achievements of our order are at
least secure. It's victories and in
1uence have been as numerous and,
in most cases, as delicate as the
sands upon the seashore. For the
the future, it will live, for its prin-
ciples and declarations are founded
on truth and justice. The fool in
his heart may say that the Grange
must die, and in his conceit shun its
gates; but while human institutions
moulder and crumble into dust, eter-
nal principles never decay. For us
''dcath may be an eternal sleep,
but if the Grange dies, it will live
again in the green spring of human
hope and action, blessing millions

Boys and the Farm.

Nothing but farmer" is a
phrase that is heard now and then
in America. 1t would probably be
heard in no other country short Of
Algiers. In the best, at least, of tie
older countries the tradesman, the
teacher, the mechanic-not TO say
the. commercial traveler-would
congratulate himself on the good
fortune that promoted him to the
social standing of ee-hold far
mer, even though his acres should
be few enough to be counted on his
fingers. The notion that the man
somehow stands little higher who
wears fine linen 'aud bends over a
desk or counter than the man who
wears overalls and holds a plow
handle, is back woods notion. If
it has any influence, as it doubtless
has had, in beguiling young men
from the farm to The shop. the mill
and the office, it will not have it
much longer. AS a new country
sentiment it will go the way of the
log cabins and the corduroy roads,

Significant Figures.

Under the above caption the
New York Tribune has the follow
ing remarks: "Here are two facts
which we gain from official reports
in France in our latest foreign files.
They are worth collating. The
dullest reader can see their signifi-
canoe. The government of France
asked for loan of $2oo,ooo,o 900,
and in two days it was subscribed
in Paris, while in the agricultural
districts $500, 100000 was taken in
small sums in the same time. This
loan pays but 4 per cent. The fact
that the working people and small
farmers of the French provinces
have $500, ooo, 900 ready to invest at
short notice and at a low percent.
age, while the same classes in Eng.
land are scraping up enough money
to pay their passage to this country
or to Australia in the hope ma
king a new start in life, is ex lined
by the universal habit of thrift
which is taught to the French peas,
ant from birth, and which the Eng
lishman never learns.
The second report to which we
referred is that of the School Sa-
wings Bank in the departments. first
established in 1913. There are
already many thousands of these
banks in which the children deposit
their petty savings. How petty
these savings are, and how general
the habit OIL saving has become
among the very poor, are shown by
the fact that the deposits in one de-
partment up to last year reached
S2o,I2o, which was divided among
SO many baby cepositors that the
sum belonging to each was less
than SIS. All other departments
show the same proportions. This
incalculable trouble of maintaining
such a system, and the patience
with which it is carried and urged
by the inspectors of schools, show
how much in earnest the thought
full class in France are in cultivating
this habit of thrift Even thought
full Americans, Englishmen and
Irishmen would be inclined TO
shrug their shoulders doubtfully at
the spectacle of babies hardly out of
their cradle laying by their pennie
and carrying bank books, but for
their anewer we have the French
peasants, clean, sober, gay, with
busy hands and full pockets, salts
fed to remain in the hone of their
fathers, while the same classes in
other nations are running to and
fro all over the world to keep from
starvation, He laughs who wins,
