Sherlock Holmes rose and lit his

are complimenting me in comparing
me to Dupin," he observed. "Now, in
my opinion, Dupin was very inferior
fellow That trick of his of breaking
in on his friends thoughts with an
apropos remark after quarter of an
hours silence is really very snowy and
superficial. He had some analytical
genius, no doubt; but he was by no
means such phenomenon as Poe ap-
peared to imagine"

A Handy vapor Bath.

Set redhot brick on end in a can, small
bath or suitable vessel; place the latter
under chair, on the seat of which piece
of flannel is spread. The patient, un-
dressed, sits on this flannel, and he and
the chair are well wrapped in blankets to
exclude the air. His head is to be uncov.
cred Open the blankets a little at the
bottom and carefully pour about pint OF
boiling water over the brick and keep w
the steam by occasionally repeating this.
The patient remains in the bath until re.
lleved by perspiration. To make a vapor
bath in bed with hot water bottles fill
about six oval shaped half gallon stone
bottles with boiling water, cork well and
fold each in hot, wet flannel. Lay over
the bed a waterproof sheet and blanket.
Place the patient on these, cover him with
a blanket and distribute the hot bottles
about him, one to each side, to the calf of
each leg and to the sole of each foot. Wrap
up well with extra blankets and tuck in
to retain the heat.-Hall's Journal of

The new grange hall at Hebron is rapid

Dir:go Grange now has 100 members in
good standing. This grange holds meetings
every Saturday which are interesting and
well attended.
| There are st present more than 1000
oranges in New England with 90 600 mem
oers. There are also 800 Pomona oranges
with a total of 50 600 members.
Fine Grove Grange, Brewer is in a flour
ishing condition, and is constantly adding
new members. At a meeting hekl recently
| FIVE new names were presented for mem
berslip.
| Norway Grange is planning to organize
a class in scientific agriculture, and com
mlt5e has been appointed 10 make arrange
ments Lectures will probably be given
| by professors of the State Agricultural col
| lege.
| The social and educational features of
the srange are being brought to the front as
never before. Education in the grange
means not only better know ledge Of farm
| log and all that relates to farm life, but it
means a better know ledge tf economic
questions and such matters of legislation as
relate to public nters SITS.
Jefferson Grange has recently installed
the follow ing officers J. +. MuCurds,

full supper to a company OF invited guests,

| The ext cutive committee of the Masse-
chusetts State Grange gives the following
sensible advice in regard to the financial
/ features of the grange: "DoD elect a
/ purchasing agent and ask him to tie up
his money in goods, sell them to you for
less than market rates, and then cap the
climax by asking him to wait few days
for his money. Don't pass by your local
dealers if they will do az well by you as out
of town parties. Don't use confiie ntial
prices as lever to lower prices beyond all
reason. Don't get frightened out of CO.
operating because once in wi lie you pay
more for an ar ice than it could have been
bou yht for elsewhere. This may be
dealers trick to discourage you from pull
ing together. Find out the cause and avoid
making the mistake the second time"

Extravagant Girls,

Young girls are prone to buy fancy stick
pins, hair ornaments, candy and soda wa
ter and to have their blooming young faces
reproduced by the camera, and these small
vanities run away with more money than
the girl finds it easy to realize unless she
keeps an account and balances it regular
ly. Every girl ought to have a fixed al
lowance and be required to confine her ex.
penditure strictly within It's limits, for In
no better way can she be taught the neces-
sary lesson, for ignorance of which many
woman whose girlhood was one of un-
stinted indulgence has been unjEstly
blamed-the lesson of wise and practical
expenditure-and before all else of keeping
ones outgo within ones income.-Phila-

Mothers Must Not BE Too Unselflsh.

Teach the sons to be careful Of mother.
Why should boy be allowed to sleep over
the breakfast hour just because he does
not wish to get up? His mother has to
put up bis breakfast, making vain effort
to keep it hot, and serve it when he chooses
to come down, when often, instead of
thanking her, he grumbles because the
meal Is not so palatable as when first
served. The boy should be taught that
mothers time and strength are valuable,
and that he will not be allowed to tar
them unnecessarily
1t is fact worthy of note that the chill
dren OF unselfish mothers are generally
very selfish. If a mother would teach her
children to be unselfish, she must give
them the opportunity and the encourage
ment at the risk of appearing somewhat
selfish herself. Her unselfsh example il
rarely suficient.-New York Press.
