forts to better their trade conditions
Perhaps q large majority Of persona
| joining the organizations Of Wheels
Alliances, etc, do so 70 escape from the
present system Of obtaining supplies
for carrying on their fnrms or loE
household wants.
The Grange followed this course @ith
varying success generally their plane
unsatisfactory though. The more re-.
cent movement among farmers has now
taken up this subject and quite nu1n-
Der OF stores are being operated.
The following plan Is being adopted:
/. Let as many alliances DO are con-
veniently located for acting together
combine to raise d capital stock Of
81. 900 to 81. 900.
q Let every member take some
share Of stock. though It be but 81.
But allow no one member to take 50
much as would be controlling share
of the whole stock.
8. When sufficient capital has been
subscribed let the Alliances concerned,
or their delegates, get together and
select from among their best and most
level headed men board Of managers
or directors. consisting Of not less than
one man from each Alliance repre-
sented.
4. Let the whole general manage
ment Of the store be delegated TO this
board Of managers. who shall at Gil
times have access to the books and pa
pers, maintain a constant guardian
ship over the store, employ clerk
and be the accountable agents Of
the concern. They shall elect
chairman who shall have power
at any time to call meeting OF board
of Alliances represented. They shall
purchase goods, make such contracts
as a majority Of the board may ap-
prove, and attend to the whole busi-
ness management OF the store. or they
may delegate these powers. or any Of
them, to their clerk, or any responsible
member of the Alliance.
| 5. Let none but Alliance men have
any connection with the store, or be
employed in any way therein.
6. Let all the trustees, clerks and
others before entering upon the dis
charge of their duties, subscribe to
before the business agent Of the
county, or other responsible party.
the following pledge: / do hereby
solemnly pledge and declare 1t to be
my honest intention to discharge the
duties OF trustee or clerk in this store
to the best of my ability in an upright
and impartial manner, and with an eye
solely to the interest of my employers
and good of the Alliance cause. So
help me God.
Z. Let every thing be conducted on
strictly cash basis. Buy for cash and
sell for cash. Make no bills either
way.

NATURAL PAvILloNs.

Mammoth Trees with Many Trunks-Tho
Banian Described by NeRrchUs.
The banian tree of India grows to q
marvellous size, sometimes covering
circumference of five acres, and capa-
BILE of sheltering ten thousand men un-
der its branches. Bantam trees are
continually increasing in size, and.
contrary to most other animal and veg
etable productions, seem 10 be exempt
ed from decay; for every branch from
the main body throws out its own
roots, at first in small, tender fibers,
several yards from the ground, which
continually grow thicker, until, by a
gradual descent, they reach the ground,
where, striking in, they increase to a
large trunk, and become parent tree,
throwing out new branches from the
top. These in time suspend their roots,
and, receiving nourishment from the
earth, swell into new trunks.
A banian tree, with many trunks,
forms the most beautiful walks. vistas
and cool recesses that can be imagined.
l have spent many delightful days,
with large parties on rural excursions,
under one tree supposed by some per-
sons to be that described by Nearchus,
the Admiral OF Alexander the Great
High floods have at various times swept
away considerable part of this extra
ordinary tree; but what still remains is
nearly two thousand feet in circumfer-
ence, measured round the principal
stems; the overhanging branches, not
yet struck down, covered much larger
space; and under it grow a number oi
custard-apple and other fruit trees.
The large trunks of this single tree
amount to three hundred and fifty, and
the smaller ones exceed three thou
sand; each OF these is constantly send.
ing forth branches and hanging roots
to form other trunks, and become the
parents of future progeny.
This magnificent pavilion affords u
shelter to all travellers, particularly tC
the religious tribes of Hindoos, and il
generally filled with variety of birds
snakes and monkeys; the latter have
often diverted me with their anti'
tricks, especially in their paternal of
fecton for their young offspring, b!
teaching them to select their food, ant
to leap from bough to bough. On I
shooting party under this tree, one o
my friends killed female monkey
and carried it to his tent, which wa'
soon surrounded by forty or fifty of the
tribe, who, making great noise, ad
vanced to it in a menacing posture
On presenting his fowling-piece, they
retreated. and appeared irresolute; bu
one, who, from his age aad station
in the van, seemed the head OF the
troop, stood his ground. chattering ant
menacing in a furious manner; no
could any effort less cruel than firinl
drive him of. He at length approaches
the tent door, when. finding his threat
enings were of no avail, he began
lamentable moaning. and, by ever
token of grief and supplication, seeme
to beg the body of the deceased. o.
this, it was given him. With tende
sorrow he took 1t up in his arms. EN-
braced it with conjugal affection, an
carried it off with sort OF triumph +
his expecting comrades. The artles
behavior of this poor animal wrough
so powerfully on the sportsmen ths
they resolved never again to level a gu

How to Cure Hens OF Egg Eating end
Feather Pulling.

Feather Pulling.
Two difficulties-egg eating and
feather pulling met with, and be-
ing the result of habit, which is ac-
quired. can not easily be remedied. As
soon as hen learns TO eat eggs sho
teaches the vice to the others. To pre-
vent the vice is difficult, unless spe-
cially contrived nests are arranged, or
unless the hen is SO situated that she
can not we'll reach the eggs. To pre-
vent the vice, make the nests dark. or
put them in a dark place. The nest
should have top, so as to compel the
hen to walk in, instead of jumping on
1t. 1t should be high enough off the
floor to prevent the hen from standing
on the floor and eating out of the box,
and the opening Of the box should face
the wall, instead of the light, so as to
have the nest dark. To make such a
nest, take soap-box and knock off the
front, leaving the boards on the top,
bottom, sides and back end. At the
opening of the nest, nail on a strip (at
the bottom) three inches high, to pre-
vent the hen from rolling the eggs out
The floor OF the box should be seven
inches off the floor, which with the
strip in front will bring the opening
to the nest ten inches from the floor Of
the room. The hen will fly up to the
opening. lay her egg and come off, al
she will not have room to eat the egg
while she is on the nest, and must come
off, in which case she can not reach il
from the floor. The nest-box should bC
only large enough to accommodate the
hen.-Farm and Fireside.

THE STORY TOLD ANEW.

IN the dark and down lane
Two walked, hand in hand, togetheri
Blew the wind and fell the rain;
Little needed they the weather.
Cold March winds might storm about;
Warmth within Knocked cold without.
Had the road been paved with gold,
They had never seena simmer;
Had the stars left heavens high fold,
Night to them had grown no DINNER,
Earth. unto its widest hem,
Consisted OF four feet for themi
What said he TO make her start,
Flush and glow with sudden pleasuTof
What could cause the woman's heart
Then 10 beat faster measured
Why did eyelids, prone to rise,
Hide the light Of glowing eyesi
Twas the story told anew,
Old, yet never antiquated;
Just the same words-just as few
Just the case so often stated
Just the same In every wise,
As once was told In Paradise.
