Third Party Sentiments Growing in
TaunesSee.


There are $500 unions or alliances in Ten
nessee, with an approximate membership of
l1S,O0O. The gain since the Ocala meeting
is sixty alliances with 1860 members. The
new members joining old lodges exceed the
number dropping out from non-payment of
dues-about twelve thousand since the
Ocala meeting.
About one-eighth of the membership is
in favor of an Independent political move
ment, and the sentiment is growing rapidly.
AS to what proportion it will attain by July,
1892, depends greatly on the action OF the
two old parties in congress and in the nay
tional conventions. =
All who once break away viii support the
Independent nominee. [ am opposed TO IN
dependent political action, believing we
can reform in the old parties, yet there is
no denying the fact that there are thou
sanS of good Democrats and Republicans
who have ALMOST lost confidence in attain
ing redress of our grievances in old par
ties, and need very little encouragement to
enter q new political party. There is no.
ticeable everywhere in this state an under
current of public sentiment that portends
political revolution, the results of which no
man can correctly foresee.

education among the people during the year

conference of February, 1892 While there
are some of our leading members who favor

council may decide, after discussing the
matter, what is best for the order to DO.

COMFORTABLE HAWAIIAN LEPERS.

Great Improvement in the Condition of
 the Outcast Sufferers.
 The report of MT. Meyers gives min ute statistics of the leper settlement. It appears that the total population is 1,457, of whom 1, ,159 are lepers, ''ko- kuas" or helpers 1S6, children not lep- CTS 40, original inhabitants 57, and 15 others, occupying various positions of trust or service. Of these are Sisters of Charity, Catholic priests, 1 Prot estant pastor, etc. There is at last a competent resident manager, MT. Evans. MT. Meyers differs in his table of the percentage of deaths with that of the president of the board. He makes it 25.32 in place of 37.20. The statistics of lepers differs also to a con- siderable number. He justly calls at- tention to the nuisance of dogs, as we'll as that of horses, of which there are 7s6. Some lepers own from five to f1f- teen of them, to the damage of the general property. It is suggested that the number be decreased to one horse for each family, which certainly ap- pears ample.
 The government owns 196 buildings, many of which have been erected dur ing the last biennial period, and the settlement is now we'll equipped in that respect. Lepers have built and own over 235 houses The spiritual needs of the people appear to be pretty well provided for in two Roman Catholic, two Protestant and two Mormon churches. There are also two prisons. An ample supply of pure water is ob- tained by well constructed system o1 water works, also put in during the last two years. Each patient is sup piled with $10 order on the store each year, besides ample weekly rations. These comprise the following articles Rice, flour, bread, poi, sweet potatoes, sugar, beef Sometimes mutton), salm- on, oil, soap, matches, kals flour, fish, salt, firewood. The average mum Der of those who receive rations has been 1, ,O36.8
 The cost per capita is about $83. 42. The twenty-eight Chinese lepers live up to their nature and drive profitat ble business in cakes, etc. The people al the settlement appear to have money, and actually have sent away $943 dur ing the past two years. One of the features of great encouragement ir fighting the disease is the increasing confidence of the Hawaiians, who mol only are offering less resistance to the authorities, but many lepers, not sus pected, have voluntarily surrendered themselves.

One Way to Start a BaIkv Horse

A correspondent of Our Dumb Animals says that the way to start a balky horse is 10 take up one of his fore feet and strike the shoe few times with stone. He claims to have start ed several horses in this way which had stubbornly resisted more violent efforts to make them move. He also says that he has never known this simple method to fail. It is not much trouble to test this plan, and if it works there will cer- tainly be a very great gain over the methods usually employed. twill pay people who are so unfortunate as to have balky horses to give it trial.

ERNEST SHERMAN PEASE.

There has gone from among us one whom many will miss, for to know him was to admire and to love him, the Art st-Naturalist, Ernest Sherman Pease.
 In Berkshire and Litchfeld counties are many who valued him as friend and as an artist, to whom the tidings of his passing away brought sorrow and senso of loss that nature SO pure and noble and gifted has gone beyond mor- tai ken.
 He was man of sweet and lovable character; brave, loyal to his friends and full of that charity which "thinketh no evil' With tact and ready wit, which made his companionship delight ful; with rare knowledge of out-of. door life in all its phases and love for and sympathetic understanding of every living creature, no wonder that his friends welcomed him always with de- light. He knew the ways of bird and insect and beast; he could tell when and where every wild-fower opened and he was wise in all that was beautiful, wisdom which comes only from living near to the heart of Nature, in purity of soul. . We all knew him as an astist, and happy are those who have upon their walls his pictures which have the pow CT of growing in beauty as one sees and knows them more by daily watching. His subjects are varied but he was most skilled in landscape painting; bit of marsh with an evening sky over it; a wild rose-bush; clump of laurel and a vista of the wood beyond; and the Twin Lakes with the beautiful Taconic Hills which he so loved, all are full of the power of his loving touch.
 For more than two years Mir Pease E strength had been failing, and he could do less and less of the work which was his life, until at last the brush fell from tue tired fingers and the last picture was done. More Intellectually than could be painted by any pigments, the picture of that calm bright life remains, with those who knew him we'll for all time; life of spotless honor, in thought and word and deed; 8 life which, ham. pered by weakness and by limitations, was lived upon the heights above all things base and petty which vex and annoy. Who can doubt that to him has como the blessing provided surely to them that ara pure in heart. w

Born Blindness Preventable.

Statistics taken from the reports of Fuchs, Magnas, Howe and the com mittee of the Ophthalmological Society of the United Kingdom show that at least 30 per cent. of all blindness in Europe and in this country is caused by preventable disease at birth. The census of 1880 gives total of about 5O,OOO blind in the United States. Of these at least 15, 900 have been blind from birth. And yet this disease is well nigh absolutely preventable, and in its incipiency easily curable.
 This statement is borne out by facts, as will be seen by reference to the re- ports of the large lying in hospitals, where the methods of prevention have been in operation. After these means were put in operation there was prac- tically an entire disappearance of the disease. The method consists in wip- ing the face and lids clean and dry i'm mediately after the umbilical cord is tied. The lids are then opened and one or two drops of a 9 per cent. solu- ton of nitrate of silver are instilled. Except in premature children the re- action from this treatment is very slight.-Hall's Journal of Health.
