"Perhaps the oldest thing added
Mr.. Mendeleif, after IA moments pause,
''is the status Of woman IN these queer
communities. She owns all the houses
and most Of the property. The man
owns the crops in the field, but rs soon
as it is harvested it belongs to his wife
She controls the house all there is in it.
She works constantly in the duties Of
the household, but she does no field
work, and, taking it all together, her
condition compares favorably with that
of the American farmers wife. The
descent of all property is in the female
llne and through the mother it is she
who makes the the will and provides
for the oilspring.'
"What does the man own then ?" [
asked.
"rhc donkcys, perhaps" he siad
"hut am not sure OF that
"And the land ?"
mo, the land is not owned individ-
ually. Ever since before historic time
laud has been owned by the whole IA

it, nobody can take it from him. But

AN EYE ON FIRE.
One Of the Most Wonderful
things done by the electric light.

When it was discovered that an arsl-
fetal light that very closely resembles
the natural light OF day could I've pro
Lucel from electricity, and that it could
be so easily provided as to take, IN a
great measure, the place Of cas- for
lighting purposes, everybody was mas
urally astoniShcl and Thought that the
electricians were the greatest men on
earth. The new system WAS hardly ola
enough to be assured success before q
lot Of wise men began considering the
alvisabiIity of devoting this light to II
greater purpose than that OF merely
lighting up the hundrum attAira of eV-
ery-1ay life.
As an experiment, small incanoics

aged to work ITS way !Hto the globe
and the light was eNtlns.slSh"d.
This gave the elec tric;m8 something to
think about, and they began imm 'AI-
ately to rack tncir brains for Il means
Of keeping the water away frolA tie

was finally placed over the joint whore

and oyer this was drawn rubber bag
that fitted tightly over the toy of the

to be successful, but a hrleE experiment
showed that the glass was not strong
enough to stand the pressure Of water
and alter being exposed to It f9r . short

then made Of plate GLASS that proved
abls to stand the strain.
For some time tins was OIL y used IN
lighting up fountains by way Of an o1-

Bait,G of the United States Fish Com

advantage to him in his search for fish
that never allowed themselves to be

HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to OPP
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little aid
to the weakened Lungs will make all
the difference between sudden death
and many years of useful life. Upon
the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold
or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs,
give that old and well-known remedy
-Boschee's German Syrup, a careful
trial. 1t will prove what thousands
say Of it to be, the ''benefactor Of any
home"

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has fixed June 18th as the date
for hearing the case of the State
Grange Of Delaware VS.. the Pennsylva-
mia r. R., on the charges of discrimi-
nation in rates, in service, and other
violations of the Interstate law.
Under the able leadership OF a. n.
Brown, Master of the State Grange,
substantial progress can be report
ed for Delaware. The State Master
writes, Il have and am making official
visits to every Grange in the State.
Within four weeks we have added
over 100 members to the Order. have
organized one new Grange and have
increased a desire on the part OF our
members to cooperate in our business
arrangements as well as all Grange
efforts that is highly gratifying. The
pioneer Grange in the State Union,
No. /, has initiated thirty this month
and reinstated a number Of old mem
bers. Harmony Grange has initiated
in the same time thirty-one members
and reinstated several old members.
These two Oranges are located only
three miles apart. New Castle Grange,
recently organized, took in four new
members at last meeting. Another
Grange, 10; another, 10; another, 8;
another, 6; another, 4, and almost
everyone of our subordinate Oranges
have been making additions. Meet
ings better attended, more interest
manifested. The determinations
against our fruit and vegetable grow
ers by the railroads and other matters
bearing upon our farmers requiring
legislation, have awakened our farm
ers to the need of organization and
they recognize the Grange as filling
this need more than any other farm
