in the Grange has won and reoeiv-
ed the confidence and support Of
the families Of the most intelligent
and prosperous farmers OF the state
and the respect Of all those engag-
ed in other pursuits.
This progressive advancement
has been noticeable during the past
ten years and much ofthe credit is
due to tho spirit OF emulation and
interest which tho Grange has kin
died. Our fraternity has stood to-
gether and demanded of the peo-
pie through our State Legislature
8 just recognition in the public
laws of that pl election which here
tofore has been guaranteed to 9TH
err pursuits. There has been, there
fore, a liberality in State leglsla-
tive enactments and appropriations
which has given to our farmers
everything they have demanded.
We have thereby one Of the best
colleges for those of our young
men who wish 20 be instructed in
the science Of agriculture that can
be found in this country. An Agri-
cultural Experiment Station Mas
been established. Annual appro-
priatiors have been secured to en-
courage our agricultural fairs, to
protect our cattle from infectious
diseases and to protect our farmers
from the sale of spurious dairy
productions; also public aid to en-
courage the raising of beef and
mutton and to promote the dairy
interests of the State. This is COM
paratively the work Of few years
and due to the action of cooper
alive brotherhood united by the
strong and faithful ties of agricul-
ture. Frederick Robbie, Master
Maine State Grange and ex-Gov-
ernor Of the State.

That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery.
Very wonderful machinery it is.
Not only the larger air-passages,
but the thousands of little tubes
and cavities leading from them.
Then these are clogged and
checked with matter which ought
not to be there, your lungs cannot
half do their work. And what
they do, they cannot do well. -
Call it cold, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any ofthe
family Of throat and nose and head
and lung distractions, all are bad.
All ought to be got rid of. There
is just one sure way to get rid of
them. That is to take Boschee's
German Syruy, which any druggist
will sell you at IS cents a bottle.
Even If everything else has failed
you, you map depend upon this for
eertain.-July p, silly.

"The most cultured and best cd
ucated men are those who have
constant association with their fell
low-men. They find this inter-
change of ideas absolutely essen
tial for continued and healthy pro-
gress in their different lines of
thought. If this is true OF men Of
culture aud learning, who have I'M
limited opportunities for reading
and meditation, it must be emphat-
ically true Of that class of men,
like farmers, whose opportunities
in this respect are often limited in
the extreme. The Grange gives a
farmer not only opportunity for
frequent contract with others Of his
own class and expansion ofthought,
but also for learning things OF
practical value. Til farmers

The following points on rough
diamonds are from the able pen Of
Alpha Messer, Master Of the Yer
mont State Grange, and reveal
some of the best lines Of Grange
work: "While it is true that some
men have greatness thrust upon
them, it - 4s7RAlly true that it
would not have been their portion
had they lived in obscurity. No
mans talents, whether in business,
politics or in social life, could have
been brought to light if hidden
from society. The diamond in its
natural state, is Of but little value.
Its brilliant luster is made to APP
pear by friction. The rough and
uneven surface is slowly rubbed
away until the stone is polished on
all sides. 1t is then that the beau
ty and value Of the gem is seen and
appreciated. Thus it is with hui
manity; the work of polishing is
continually going on; the ideas Of
men in active life are continually
rubbing, one against the other;
and they become polished, often
resplendent, with the power OF
thought and Imagination, having
crystalized in the solution of
weighty problems in science, in f.
nance, in politics and in social life.
With the recluse, who shuts him
self wholly or in part from society
it Is not so. 1t matters not how
bright his intellect may be, or how
stong his latent powers they are Of
but little value to the world until
they are properly prepared for its
uses"

1t is now nearly certain that two
Of the important measures advo-
Gated and supported by the Grange
will be passed by the present Con-
gross. One reducing the postage
on seeds, plants, etc, from the pres
ent rate of Is cents per pound to
4 cents per pound has already bad
a test vote IN the House of Repre-
sentatives, with very decided ma.
iority in its favor. The other mat
ter is the issuing Of fractional cur
rency for use in the mails in place
of postage stamps and postal notes.
It would be we'll, now that the vic
tory is so nearly gained, if Pat
rons and farmers would once more
write personal letters to their Con
gressmen, urging the passage Of
these bills in the interests Of all
the people. Specially urge it up
on both your L. S. Senators, as it
is in the Senate that the express
companies will make their greatest
fight against the reduction Of pos
tage. This work cannot be done
too soon.

Sometime people speak of the
small cost of becoming a member
OF the Grange (sS, 90 for men, 81, 90
for women.) A Pennsylvania Pa
tron has this to say to his brother
farmers:
"Ay experience is that the
Grange does not cost enough, if it
cost every man (SlO) ten dollars to
knock at the gates and every wo-
man $50 five dollars, il would be
rather costly luxury to 90 into,
just to find out what il was and
then leave it without paying one
cent OF dues, with the plea that it
cost nothing and consequently
amounted to the same. For the
sake OF illustration l will cite one
instance to prove my theory. In
the little town of Williamsport,
this county, stands a Masonic tenn
pie and a fine Grange Hall, side by
side. 1t costs all the way from
81 90 to $500 to be a Granger, and
if / mistake not there has not been
a halfdozen applications for men,
bership for 4 years. 1t costs s25.
to be made a mason, and during
that 4 years %, or possibly 35,
have applied for membership.
Now, you fellows, who want to be
initiated for nothing and pay no
dues, please explain this great con-
trast; tell US why farmers will pay
S25. to belong to other Orders and
from 50, to 81. per year for dues
and yet grumbIe at iniation fees
and dues in the Grange when the
benefits are so much greater,
Shame on such sentiment. l would
like to see both sides OF this ques-
ton thoroughly discussed, for !
think it is a question Of great mo-
ment and ofinterest to every mem
Der and lover Of the Order and de-
mands the most careful considera-
ton before this leap into the dark
ocean Of experiment is taken"

Household,

There is scarcely household where
there are not some days when the mind is
"due east" "Unlucky dsys'' Fredriks
Bremen termed them; but whether this,
or days of east wind IS Dickens desig-
mated them, it is essential that there be a
Dame Burden in the household who shall
have the tact to eouslize things ard pre-
vent squalls. It is to be hoped the mother
has possessed this womenly virtue, or if
not inherited the eldest daughter has SO
cultivated it that the depressing in fuences
OF the paroxysmal or chronic grumbler
may not have rendered the home 6tmos-
phere so depressant as to drive the boys
and girls to seek brightness outside. To
be born fretter is indeed q misfortune,
out TO cultivate the talent is criminal,
and as every member of true ssm-
lily would strive to build up
one morally weak. SO they ought
to interest themselves in driving
away shadows and introducing sunshine
The daughter can do much in this work,
her life is comparatively free from vexa-
lions, her young shoulders are unlsden,
mother and father ere the burden bearers,
and she can do much to Tighten their load
by tender essiduity and untiring cheerful
ness. A thoughtful attention TO pspa's
comfort, an assumed care OF the younger
children, the same painstaking to be
agreeable and entertaining TO the inmates
OF the house as she would il she had
guests. will do much toward VeeriIg the
