GREETING To SIR KNIGHTS.
An Address by the Head of the

CoRUNA. Mich. Dec. 24.-Grand Master
McCurdy has issued Christmas greeting
to the Knights Templar in which he says
With prayertul heart ana bowed head let us
offer our devotions TO the gtVer OF ali blessings
for the golden fruitage which this, the day of
days. brought 10 mankind TO bless and 10 save
This toast which you offer this morning for
our Christmas greeting fills my heart with pro-
found emotion for the welfare, peace and hap
pness of you and yours, for whom l ask the
richest benediction of our father in heaven.
Your toast ITO Our Most Eminent Grand
Master. Hugh McCurGy, the Head of American
Templar Masonry, who holds all Templar
Hearts," l accept from you as an Offering 10
The high position / hold. Kindle The inner
genial life of man and you have fame that
burns up all lower consideraiion-nOt hapDi-
ness, but something higher. Not by f1attering
our appetltes, only by awakening the heroic
that slumbers in every mans heart can any
religion gain followers.
We ale here, Sir Knights, on this Joyous
Christmas day 10 look upon picture which
presents The very beginning Of the Christian
religion upon which our order was founde d,
the picture OF the holy family in the BE tb-
lehem stable. The social life of a MN b-gan
when the Son of Man entered into and became
member OF that family, that typical group of
human life. Men are social only as far as lie
enters into and becomes part OF their lives.
The son of Mary, clasping his childish arms
around his mothers neck or holding his
fathers hands on the way to Egypt this is a
perfect picture of social life. Men cInging to
him aud he cinging to men. they in him, and
he in them; this is the ideal social life. The ideal
tempiarism.
He, Sir Knights. is the head OF Templar
Freemasonry; he alone is worthy to hold all
Templar hearts. The heart that beats ever
with his idea is the heart OF the Templar Free
mason and every Templar Mason's heart.

her family, the Gaulois printed an ar

a certain amount Of discrimination,

The Marquise de Brinyilliers, to
whom Nine. Joniaux has, perhaps, not
unjustly been compared, was executed
on July II, 1876. She was duly con-

FOR SLEEPLESS ONES.
Various Simple and Harmless Rene
dies for Insomnia.

Do you lie awake at night and
anathematize the man who first sug
gested the connection between sleepi-
ness and guilty consciences? Have
you counted all the clocks in the
house striking all the hours of the
night, at different times? Have you
tried to fix your mind on something
imperSOnal and failed? And have you
finally come to the conclusion that
there were many arguments in favor
of the choral habit?
If you have done these things, of
course the indications are that you
need a doctor, but it is not always
convenient to summon a physician
at I O'Clock in the morning simply be-
cause you can't sleep. 1t is better to
read, work and learn a few cures for
insomnia, which you may try over
night and see physician in the morn
! ing.
If you fear a sleepless night I'M
! dress in the dark Light stimulates
! and arouses the activities. Darkness
is supposed to produce drowsiness.
Put some chopped ice in a rubber
bag and place it at the lower extremi-
ty Of the spine. This is particularly
J Quieting to the nerves. Do not use
anything except a rubber bag, or you
will surely have a damp cloth and
rheumatism by morning.
Do not use a pillow. Relax every
muscle so far as it is possible. Spraw
over the bed with arms and legs
stretched out. Take q sponge batf
with tepid water just before goins
to bed.
Lie on your face instead of on YOU
back. That is the way babies sleep
and their methods are scarcely to bt
improved upon in this particular. Al
pressure is removed from the spin,
by this means, and a delicious feelin:

Large Duck Farm.

At Stroudsburg, Pa. is a duck farm
that promises to be the largest in the
world. Immense brooders have been
erected, and gigantic cellar is now
in course Of construction. The pro-
prletors, MeSsrS. Truslow & McFet-
ridge, have built up a New York hotel
trade, which gives them five cents a
pound more than the market price.
Fifty large incuba tors have been or
dered, which during the coming season
Will be run to their fullest capacity.
Five acres Of celery have been raised
and this IS to be the green's fed the
fattening birds, which, it is said, gives
them canvaS-back duck flavor. If
such large concerns can be successfully
run in the east, why cannot western
poultrymen do likewise? The west has
many advantages over the east, princi-
pally in the cheapness of feed and
plenty of grass and water. There GER
talnly is a good chance for the duck
and general poultry business on a
large scale with us.

HOW A DEAD MAN BLEED.

Yankee Blade: A patient in an in
sane asylum imagined himself dead.
Nothing could drive the deIusion out
Of the mans brain. One day his ply
stefan had happy thought and said
to him: Did you ever see a dead
man bleed?'
NO." he replied.
Did you ever hear of a dead man
bleeding"
No"
DO you believe that dead man can
bleed?"
No"
We'll, if you will permit me, [ will
try an experiment with you and see
if you bleed or not" The patient
gave his consent, the doctor whipped
out his scalpel and drew little blood
There" he said. You see that you
bleed; that proves that you are not
dead
Not at ALL" the patient instantly re-
piled, that only proves that dead men
can bleed"

TESTS IN GRATING

Prof. l.. H. Bailey, in Bulletin No.
81, issued by Cornell university expert
ment station, gives a description of
tomato-pOtato CRAFTS. Many state
ments have been made through the
press concerning the migrating of to-
matOeS and potatoes, and great results
are expected, although some Of these
results will undoubtedly be disappOint-
ing. One correspondent says that Prof.
Bailey has reached the point Of nam
ing his mOngrel ''potomato," and from
it expects to reap compound crops Of
tomatoes and potatoes. This grating
Is not new thing, nor is there any
thing mysterious about it. In the ex-
periments referred to tomatoes were
grated on potatoes and potatoes on
tomatoes. The tomato on potato graft
bore tubers and a crop Of tomatoes,
but the plant which bore the best crop
of tomatoes bore no tubers on the
potato roots. The vitality of the plant
was apparently concentrated in the
tomato top.
The potato on tomato plants pro-
duced no potatoes. Ihey doomed
freely but produced no balls, not be-
cause it was on the tomato but be-
cause of the fact that few modern
varieties produce seed. Prof. Bailey
also describes a new food plant,
Stachys foridana, a member of the
mint family. In general appearance
the plant is much like the Chorogi
| (Stachys SieboldiD which is sold as an
esculent by most Seedsmen. 1t is more
! slender in appearance and has long,
stalked, heart-Shaped leaves. The tu
| bers are produced freely and are
! larger than in that species. They are
! from four to six inches long and have
an excellent flavor. AS yet the plan
has not been grown out Of doors a
| Ithaca, but Prof Bailey hopes to make
some experiments with it this year
| Concerning its prospects he says: .
expect that the plant will be able tt
endure our winters with the protection
of mulch, for tubers which have beer
frozen grow readily. There is ever.
prospect that this interesting species
will add another attractive vegetable
to those now in our gardens"

Feeding for Wool.

1t is a mistake to suppose that wool
comes of itself and does not need to be
fed for, the same as the mutton. 1t
is the product of feed and care, just
as milk is and to regard it as so
much in is to only assume that in
this exceptional case the rule that
something cannot be had for nothing
does not apply. A note in the Ameri-
can Sheep Breeder puts the fact as it
is in the following note:
"a secondary product like wool, or
milk, or fat, will always have to be
looked after, by the owner especially
Nature will provide first of all for the
