AT the meeting of Middle Branch
grange, March 20, the question OF warm
ing water for cows was discussed and all
favored the opinion that it produced more
milk. The question, Chow Can Farmers
Get Better Profits and Save More Money!,
was considered. Some thought, as class,
farmers gave away more than Others in
proportion to their means. The idea was
advanced that some were born and edu-
Gated to be rich, every faculty is used for
that end. Others considered the manage
ment faulty, as there was much waste Of
time and strength on many farms, which
means loss of money. The practice of
drawing manure to distant field and
leaving ground near the barn producing
half crop was condemned and other
points were noticed where loss might be
prevented. It was voted to hold sugar
party at the hall as soon as the sugar can
be made; but no "warmed- over" su gar
party this time, new sugar or none. The
next meeting will be the first Tuesday in
April. Program as follows: Sister Abbie
Paine will repeat her original poem; Bro.

cuss the question, "Do Farmers Econo-
mise All They Cant" question box, 80 min

Boston is much stirred over the re-
fusal of the commissioners of public in
situations to accept present of rocking
chairs for the aged and infirm pauper
women at Rainsford island. A fund Of
800 had been subscribed by private be-
nevolence, and the chairs had been
bought and shipped to the island, but
the commissioners would not let the old
women have them, and they remain on
the wharf. The mayor of Boston, who
appoints the commissioners, wrote a note
requesting them to accept the chairs.
The commissioners still refused, and re-
ferred the matter to the common coun-
Gil. The common council voted unani-
mously in favor of accepting the chairs,
and the aldermen concurred with only
one dissenting voter.
Strong pressure was, however, brought
to bear upon the council and aldermen
by the commissioners. Some of the
aldermen were taken down the harbor
to Rainsford island and came back re.
porting that there was already one rock
ing chair for every three women, and
more chairs would be needless luxury.
The result was that the council and
aldermen were induced to reconsider
their vote and refer the whole matter to
the committee on public institutions,
which means shelving it indefinitely.
The insolent and unreasonable beha-
vior of the commissioners is understood
to be due to a grudge against Mrs. Alice
N. Lincoln, who was active in raising
the money for the rocking chairs, and
who has aroused the ire of the commits
sioners by previous efforts to better the
condition Of the paupers and to reform
certain abuses which have caused the
loss of more than one life.-Boston Wo-

HONEST VS.. DISHONEST ADVERTISING

A pleasant feature of the advertising
put forth by the Royal Baking Powder
Company frequently commented upon
by consumers, is the absolute confidence
that may be had in the truthfulness of
all its claims and statements. There
is evidently the same care and accuracy
in the framing of the Royal advertise
ments that there is in the compound
ing of the Royal powder.
1t appears. unfortunately, that not
all baking powder people are so scrupu-
lousy careful. The recent letter from
the Judge of Awards ON Baking Pow
ders at the Chicago Worlds Fair, ex-
posing the falsity of the claim of an
other house that its baking powder had
received the highest award for strength,
purity, excellence, etc, is a scathing
rebuke to those manufacturers of in
ferior baking powders who have no re-
gard for the truth, but habitually seek,
in their public announcements, to de-
ceive consumers. The Judge of Awards
states that no such award was given to
the concern in question, and has mott
fed it that it must cease publishing his
name in connection with its false state
ments.

CAMPH0R IN CALIFORNIA.

An exchange speaks of Japan having
corner on the camphor trade, if For
mosa is captured. This leads us to call
attention to the hardness of the cam
phor tree and the ease with which we
could produce in this State all the cam
phor we could use in the United States.
1t is true that most OF the camphor
comes from Japan and from Formosa
yet the best camphor and that which
brings the highest price comes from
Borneo, but there does not appear to
be sufficient quantity of the article
from that island to make any impress
sion on the markets of the world. The
camphor is obtained by boiling or
steaming the wood, and the process of
obtaining the crude camphor is very
simple one. The tree thrives here as
readily as the orange or the olive, and
we see no reason why this State cannot
produce all the camphor that we need
in America. -Oroville Register.

Lime Juice and the Pole.

We are glad to be able to state that,
warned by the fate of the Mares expedi-
ton, DR.. Nansen has determined to carry
with him an ample supply of concen-
trated lime juice in his arctic expedition.
Notwithstanding the angry feelings
which were aroused some years ago by
our demonstration that the failure of the
Mares expedition was largely due to the
neglect Of the lime juice ration and the
consequent outbreak of scurvy in the ex-
ploring party which was aiming at the
north pole, it is now an accepted axiom
that the north pole will never be
reached without lime juice" so that the
concentration of that requisite to econo-
mize space and carriage will be matter
of great Importance. British Medical

THE OLD LADY'S VISIT.
Waiting For City Friend with Three Jar,
of Buttermilk.

of Buttermilk.
The last passenger to leave the 4:30
train on the Michigan Central railroad
after 1t drew to standstill one summer
afternoon was little old woman in
black. A wisp of gray hair struggled
from under an old fashioned poke bon
net, and pair of kindly blue eyes
looked out from behind her steel trimmed
spectacles- In one hand she carried a
huge, shiny valise, the key of which
was tied to the handle with strip of
calico cloth. When she was part way up
the platform, she stopped. with a trou-
bled look, and watched the baggagemen
toll by with their loaded trucks. Pres
emily she dropped the valise and opened
big black fan which was fastened to
her waist by velvet ribbon. After she
had waited some time one of the depot
ushers came along and asked if he could
be of any service to her.
why, thank you, think not" she
answered. II am waiting for Dick Rob-
inson.
The depot usher hurried on and paid
no more attention to the little old wom-
an. When he came back half hour
later, she was still standing where he
had left her, gently tanning herself
with tho black fan. HAS your friend
come YETI" asked the usher.
No" she answered. "His watch
must have been slow"
Did he expect you by this train?"
"Well, you see, it's this way: Last
summer Dick and his wife came over to
Briggsburg to visit the Coopers. While
they were there they came over often to
my place to get drink of buttermilk.
Well, we got friendly, and Sarah told
me lot of things about Chicago, and
that she couldn't by no manner of
means get buttermilk in the city. Be-
fore Dick went back he came around
and says: Mrs. Beggs, just take run
up to Chicago next summer and visit
us. Let us know when you're coming,
and I'll meet you at the depot. And so
I'm here, and I've got three Jars of
fresh buttermilk for them in that bag"
The depot usher helped the little old
woman to seat in the waiting room,
and then he searched the directory for
Richard Robinson. His charge couldn't
help him much, because she didn t know
Dicks occupation.
All l know" she explained, sis
that he's genuine gentleman, and if
he had got my letter he'd "a been here"
The usher made list of two or three
addresses and put the woman in charge
OF trusty cabman, with instructions tc
find Dick. Two hours later the driver
came back with the report that his fare
was delivering her buttermilk. Chi

sufficient training, to frequent the pic
turesque and other localities to which
photographers are mostly attracted.
On stick over his shoulder the male
would carry bundle and the female
basket on her arm, each containing
number of inexpensive but suitable
costumes, and, to prevent misunder-

ranged, varying, of course, according
