Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SACRAMENTO, November 13.-The Ma.
tional Grange Patrons Of Husbandry was
opened in the Sixth Degreei( (Flora) in
the assembly chamber in the Capitol at
II a. M, by Worthy Master F. 81.
Brigham, of Ohio. There was large
attendance. Worthy Master =. Russell
and wife, of Washington, were inaug-
urated and duly welcomed as represent
atives from the new State Grange, juris-
diction of Washington. The visiting
Changers from the East were presented
beautiful souvenirs by the State Grange
of California. The morning and after
noon sessions were interspersed with ex-
cellent music and appropriate songs.
In the afternoon the attendance was
largely increased. Master f. H. Brig
ham, of Ohio, delivered his annual ad-
dress. He is strongly in favor Of further
legislation against food adulteration. He
recommends greater unity on the part OF
those opposed to intemDerance. He says
the liquor influence cannot be broken
until there is such a combination.
"There should be-" he said "more
stringent laws against blackmail, and to
protect innocent purchasers Of patented
articles from the consequent annoyance
of litigation"
Speaking of ballot-box corruption and
it's baneful influence, he asserted that
many citizens do not wisely use the
ballot, as is apparent in the corruption
and extravaganza which we see around
US, used by various agencies to interfere
with the freedom of the ballot. He said
that reforms must ~come soon or great
evil. In this emergency the farmer
is the hope of the nation. The political
evils which infest the cities are extend
ing to the country, and paid retainers of
the political bosses are found almost in
every locality.
Master Brigham strongly urges the
adoption of the improved Australian sys-
tenn of voting as the most available
means for blocking out political wrongs.
The farmers are urged to watch their in
terests in the halls of legislation by
reasonable intelligent unity of action. He
urges the importance of the order in
sustaining the Grange and farming
press, and the education of the young
men and women for higher aims and the
practical duties of life. He regards the
lecture field as an important method Of
advancing the cause of the order.
Reports were received from the vari-
GUS officers and duly referred.
Tomorrow afternoon an address of well
come will be made by E. w. Davis, Mas
ter of the California State Grange, which
will be responded to by Master Brigham.
The State Board of Commissioners ap.
pointed to entertain the visiting Grangers
has accepted the proposition OF the
North Pacific Railroad Company for an
excursion from Santa Rosa to Cloverdale,
through the Russian river valley.

sMoKELEss POWDER.
An American Invention, but "
n0poliZcd by Foreigners.

n0polizcd by Foreigners.
WASHINGTON, November 13.-The sub
ject of smokeless powder for military
uses occupies considerable space in the
annual report OF Brigadier. General Benet,
Chief of Ordnance. He says in part: No
American has yet submitted for trial a
smokeless powder, and experiment with
compressed powders has shown the same
eccentricity as developed abroad, tend
ing to destroy confidence in the final pro.
duction of serviceable compressed pow
der cartridge. There is reason to believe
from an application made to an officer of
the Ordnance Department, more than
ten years ago, that smokeless powder
originated in America, only to be brought
to the attention of the world in foreign
countries. In view Of the present status
of the powder question, it is not deemed
expedient to produce small calibre
rife for compressed powder cartridges.
Such rifle, however excellent in itself,
would be inferior to foreign arms using
smokeless powders, and consequently
unsatisfactory to the army aud the
country at large. 1t is believed, how
ever, that all the elements entering into
the problem, except the powder, are
ready for use the moment the powder is
obtained.

WOMEN AND MARRIAGE.

The Best Time For tho Average Girl ia
Become Wife.
Probably the best time for the
average civilized woman to marry
would be any age between twenty
four and, thirty-six. 1t is not
said that no woman should marry ear
lier or later than either OF these ages
but youth. and health and yigor are
ordinarily at their highest perfection
between these two periods. Early
marriages are seldom desirable for
girls, land that for many reasons. The
brain is immature, the reason is fee
BILE and the character is Uniformed.
The consideration which would
prompt girl to marry at seventeen
would in many cases have little weight
with her at twenty-four At seven
teen she is a child, at twenty-four a
woman. Where girl has intelligent
parents the seven years between sew
enteen and twenty-four are the period
when mind and body are most amena.
BILE to wise discipline and best, repay
the thought and toll devoted to their
development. Before seventeen few
girls have learned to understand what
life is, what discipline is. what duty
is. They can not value what is best
either in the fathers wisdom or in the
mothers tenderness. When married
at that childish period they are like
young recruits taken sfresh from the
farm and the workshop and hurried
off to a long campaign without any
period Of preliminary drill and train.

a CHINESE DELICAcY.


Shark-FIn Soup and Its Alleged Recupcr-
atfvs Powers.
Among the many things utilized by
the Chinese for food are the iHs and
tails OF sharks-or. more properly,
the fine gelatinons tendons found In
such. The fishermen all along the
California coast are often annoyed
when drawing their nets by finding in
them the common blue sharks, rang
ing from two to eight feet in length.
These powerful fish either tear holes
through the nets and escape or else
thrash around and tangle themselves
Esup sothat IL Is difficult to get rid =ef
them.
The fisherman takes what revenge
he can by cutting of the fms and chop
ping of the tails Of the sharks and then
letting them go TO be attacked and
eaten by their comrades. Sometimes,
/ il the fish is a very large one, the liver
is saved for the oil there is in it, but
it is seldom that this is done. The fins
and tails are laid on the roof of the
fsherman's huts, and when thorough
ly dried are bought by the Cinnamon
for an average price of ten cents a
pound. The fins will average eighteen
inches in length and perhaps an inch
in thickness. Unlike most fishes,
they, as well as the tail. have no
conspicuous spines connected by a
thin membrane, but are hard and
solid, covered with a very tough skin
that resembles slate-colored emery
paper. The skin is used. in fact. for
polishing metels, imparting to steel

it Is taken being called. commonly, the

sharks are unevenly lobed, the under
lobe being considerably shorter than
the upper one. the fish being a living
representative OF the fossic ''ganoids. !"
The surface OF shark fin will be seen
from the base and these indicate the
slender tendons underneath. As the
skin is very closely attached to the
flesh, especially when the fin is dried
it is a puzzle. at first. to know how the
Chinese cook gets at the tendons he
wishes to use. To do this large iron
pan is filled with sand, which is
strongly heated. The fin is buried in
this hot "sand bath, y and in few
minutes the skin rises in blisters and
can be easily pulled off. When this is
done the tendons are exposed. They
