GOSSIP OF THE ORANGES.

Waldo county has twenty-three live
oranges.
West Bath Grange worked the first de-
gree on four candidates recently.
The third and fourth degrees were con-
ferred upon thirteen candidates BY New
port Grange last week. A most enjoyable
harvest feast followed the exercises.
Victor Grange, Searsmont, is prospecting
under its present excellent management.
At recent meeting five new members were
initiated and more are to follow. The mem
bers are now making arrangements for a
social to be given at an early date to raise
funds for their library.
The secretary of the National Grange
has sent out an official list of lecturers,
which State, Pomona and subordinate
oranges can secure, for pushing the order
and advancing its interests. The Ma
tional Grange does not put these lecturers
into the field and pay them but it is ex-
pected that state oranges and others will
arrange to pay the necessary expenses.
1t should be as much part of the farm
er's programme of living to become an
active member of the grange, in the interest
of agriculture, as to pillow and plant and
cultivate his broad acres. No cultivator of
the soil can afford to shut himself out of
the warming, stimulating and beneficial
influence of association with his brother
farmers, and the friction of discussion and
debate

plane, 1000 years; lime, LOO years: spruce,
1900 years; oak. 1.500 years: cedar, 2,OOC

the ages of these trees have been ascer-

A Novelty In Bicycles.

A Scotch novelty in bicycles is the ap-
plication of steam by an ingenious petro-
leum engine. The steam is generated in
an insulated boiler between the wheels
and after superheating passes to the pro-
polling machinery on each side of the rear
wheel. The fuel is petroleum, enough of
which can be carried to heat the boiler for
three hours. The machine, it is claimed,
weighs only so pounds and can be driven
IA miles an hour.
