WHITE RIVER VALLEY POMONA
GRANGE at its recent meeting at East
Bethel appointed committee to con-
slider the following subjects and re-
port for the action of the grange at its
next meeting at Norwich, August IA
The first is the common school ques-
ton, which all the friends of education
in the state wish to see settled in way
that will increase the efficiency of the
common schools. The second relates
to fertilizers and the expediency Of abol-
ishing the present law requiring fertil-
izer companies to obtain license for
the sale of their goods in this state.
Another question has reference to i'm
pure and worthless farm and garden
seeds, which are often too old to ger
inmate or they contain noxious weed
seeds which are great damage to farm
ers. Should law be passed requiring
dealers to guarantee purity of seeds?
And should all audulterated articles of
food sold in the state be branded as
such? These are questions of much
importance to farmers.

WE hear it frequently said by farmers
who are not members of the order that
the grange ought to take hold of this or
that measure and push it along. 1t
does not occur to these farmers that
they are equally interested and are
asking some other farmers to do their
work for them for nothing. They
would not think of asking neighbor
to come over and do their milking once
a week during the entire year, but
they do ask the neighbor who is a
member of the order to attend the
grange meetings regularly, to pay his
monthly dues that he, with others, may
be able to do the work they ask of the
grange. Why not take hold and help
in this matter? 1t takes time and
money to become consistent member
of the grange. Its benefits are in a
measure shared by all farmers, while its
expenses are borne by few. The
grange does not complain of this. 1t
only asks more farmers to join its ranks
and thus increase its strength and make
the burden lighter.

Our Women are Growing Larger.

Women are certainly larger than
they used to be-" said dressmaker of
many years experience, and in proof of
the same exhibited the measurements
of women recorded in the books of the
establishment, which date back some
forty or more years. One book, dated
as late as 1859, had hundreds of entries
like the following; Miss -, waist
measure, eighteen inches; Mrs. -,
waist, twenty inches; Miss -, waist,
seventeen inches, or eighteen, nineteen,
eighteen and half repeated continu-
ally, or even as low as sixteen inches
for girl of seventeen being no uncom-
mon measurement. OF fifty women
whose gowns were cut in 1856 and '57
the average waist measure was only
twenty-one inches. These were fully
developed, rather elderly women, while
the average for young women was
scarcely more than nineteen inches,
the regulation measure for wedding
gown being eighteen inches, and girls
were laced down to it amost invariably.
Now girls of twenty and twenty-five
years have average waists of twenty
three inches, and if woman is five
feet seven or eight inches tall her waist
measure runs up to twenty-five or
twenty-siX inches. Slender women are
an inch or two taller and two or three
inches larger round the waist than
their mothers were, while fleshy women
are continually increasing in numbers
as well as size. Watch the crowd of
well-dressed promenaders on the ave-
nue., the occupants of the landaus in
the park and the strollers on the
veranda of any summer resort patron
lied by the leisure people of society,
and the preponderaDce of fleshy women
is somewhat astonishing. The sallow,
narrow-chested, wasp-waisted speci-
mems of girlhood are seldom seen, and
the woman past forty-five who retains
her slender, supple shape and willowy
grace is deplorably in the minority
what are the American women COM
ing to?" said plump woman, whose
tailor dress fitted as if she had been
run into it in state of solution, as
three out of five of the crowd of hand
somely-dressed women passing her
displayed a generosity of girth and
corpulence that would only be appreci-
ated in museum. With proper diet,
proper exercise and the stimulus of
some worthy life purpose they might
become race of Amazons, but, as a
wise writer expresses it, most women
are " too indOlent to attend to the re-
quirements of personal beauty with
proper care. '-Ne,C York San.

the only process known. A large number
of nervous wrecks--some of helpless paraly-

brought before the court and proved to

its claims to be the only valuable discovery
in its line of work ever made. The COM

Who Should Bow First.

A man may with perfect propriety bow
first. Particularly is this so in the case
of young man and an elderly
lady. She has vast number of ac-
quaintances. She may have sons, each
of whom has many friends whom she
has met, but whose many faces have
left but slight impression upon her
mind. A young man by bowling to
such a lady simply recalls himself to
her recollection. She instantly acknowl-
edges his salutation, and is probably
pleased with him for not staring at her
coldly, while she vainly struggles to as
sociate his Aforementioned features
with a name and a personality. A
young man should always bow first to
an older one, just as a young woman
should always hasten to recognize a
woman older than herself. If there is
any known defect of eye-sight about
a person, such as near-sightedness or
imperfect vision, or if he is VIGOROUSLY
absent-minded, do not wait for him to
recognize you, but hasten to bow to
him. Always make allowances for
person who does not return your bow,
and do not be too ready to take offence.
There may be dozen reasons for her
neglect, all of which are more probable
than that a slight or rudeness was in
tended. She may not have seen you,
her attention may have been diverted,
or the light may have shone in such a
way as to render recognition impossible.
Absence or sickness or decided change
of dress, such as the putting on or TAX
ing off of mourning, may have affected
your appearance to such an extent
that, although you are quite unconscious
of it yourself, your friend fails to know
you. Be very sure you are cut before
you resent it, A lady seldom resorts
to such measure as this. Only is it
justified when for some known offence
or immortality, some gross breach of
courtesy or good breeding, she thinks
that the offender is not proper or
pleasant acquaintance for her to have
any longer. To be sure, as long as the
people who compose society are human
there will be disagreements and un-
pleasant quarrels, during which each
person will consider himself justified
in refusing to bow to the offending
party.

Indifference of Farmers i'm
Law.Making.

Comparatively few farmers give any
special thought to existing laws, or to
the law-making power of the land.
Their thoughts are mainly centered
upon their farms and what pertains
thereto. Other classes have taken
upon themselves the duty of making
laws and seeing that they are executed
AS farmers are in the majority, it is
necessary that their assent be obtained
either in the selection of the law
makers or in the ratification of the laws.
Through the Indifference and lack of
concert among farmers laws Just and
unjust are thus enacted for the govern
ment of the people. When it is too
late farmers learn that laws have been
enacted that favor certain classes or
interests and great injustice is done to
farming communities. 1t is then that
farmers give vent to their indignation
and in unmeasured terms denounce the
laws and those who brought them into
existence. But with no concerted ac-
ton denunciation is unavailing: indif-
lCiChtC ITO sway uullI dlOllCl
case of fragrant abuse comes to light.
Thus it is, we say, with a majority of
farmers. But a small minority who
have given time and thought to the
matter think that the existing evils in
this direction can be overcome, and that
unjust and oppressive laws can be an
nulled and just and wholesome laws
enacted. Farmers of this kind not
only think this, but they know from
past experience that it can be done.
They know that by organizing their
forces and bringing their influence
to bear directly upon the election
OF lawmakers, or upon the law
making power, they can secure
recognition of their rights and the
enactment of measures needed for their
protection and benefit. The story of
the important changes which have been
made in the laws-both state and
nationalist the wholesome legislation
which has been enacted since the
grange became a power in the land,
need not be repeated. This legislation,
of such incalculable benefit to farmers,
is the direct result of organization.
Through the organization the attention
of farmers has been called to the eX-
istence of great evils in legislation, and
effective measures have been used for
their remedy. But the grange can not
do the work alone. 1t asks the help of
all farmers and those who desire the
real prosperity of the state. Farmers
should give attention to these matters
non. Men should be selected for the
legislature who are sound upon these
questions and who can not be turned
to the right nor the left. The farmer
in politics should not be a "mythical
being" but a real existent, cor
poreal " being, doing his own think
ing and working and acting with others
for the highest and best interests of
the state.

considered great delcacy. Jews
have never in any age or country eaten
pork, and some people refuse lamb as
equally unclean. Many kinds of fruits
have been destroyed extensively by in
sects which manifest their preferences
each for different kind, and some
thing has been discovered or invented
to destroy them. And now we ferv-
emily hope the graceful elm-the pride
of America as the oak is of England
will be saved in some way.

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case Of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

" In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intoerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, l was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation Of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparila. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months. the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars. which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less / do not know what 1t may
have done for Others but | do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity Of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it.n CHARLES a. ROE

last one weighed some 200 pounds and the result
that they both stood on the same board and the
board broke, letting the ladies down until their
feet nearly touched the ground. They were TOO
