gress has been characterized by strong
sense and the absence of charlatans. 1t
was much ADLER congress than the one
that recently adjourned at Washing
ton"
The Farmers National Congress en-
phatically asserts its non-political
character. In this, as in many other
things, it is unique among national
farmers organizations in this country.
The men at its head say the bakers
and brewers and bankers and other
men meet in national assemblies to
discuss matters pertaining to their
welfare without getting into fight
over the tariff or seeking to form new
political party. Why not the farmers?
Hence, while the Farmers National
Congress meets to discuss social and
economic questions that are insepara-
BILE from politics in the higher sense,
partisan politics are not allowed to en-
ter into the discussion. 1t has no po-
litical platform, and it does not seek
to form political party; and as by its
constitution its numbers are so limited
that it can not control votes" Except
indirectly, in which way it does influ
ence many, it does not offer, fortunate
ly for it, sufficient reward to draw to it
those politicians and demagogues that
have brought some other farmers or
CARNATIONS into disrepute. AS the del
egates are not self-chosen nor selected
haphazard, but are appointed by the
highest state official, they are practical
farmers of unusual intelligence, ability
and commonsense, and prominent and
influential in agricultural affairs. The
fact that delegates must pay their own
expenses (for the congress, unwedded
to politics, has also taken vow to eter-
nal poverty and has neither dues nor
salaries) weeds out any not worthily
and earnestly interested in agriculture.
It's restricted membership, its poverty,
and its non-political character have

The strangest religious community
In the world is one founded in Montreal
by certain DR.. jacques graduate Of
the Victoria School of Medicine, who,
during the year in which smallpox
ragged in Montreal, visited no fewer
than 1900 patients and did much good
work in the city. Among these patients
was a family from St. Florence named
Aubin, and the father and mother, with
five daughters, now live under the doc
tors roof. The parents, who do not
belong to the community proper, live
like ordinary mortals, but the five chill
dren lead life almost as severe as the
terrible austere regime Of the Carmel
lite nun. They are ROBBED in red ma
terial, with white headdress falling
down over their shoulders, These girls
have no education whatever, yet their
medical protector says they are very
learned in things pertaining to the
celestial sphere. BY the side Of nicely
decorated altar stands post about six
feet in height, and upon the latter
hangs an OK chain ten feet long. When
Montreal is given over to carnivals, to
balls and parties, and when it Is easy
for frail man and womanklnd to be
tempted, 1t is at these seasons that the
five sisters devote themselves most in
tently to penitence and prayer, This

There is lots of money for the COM

A Knowing Marc.

The instinct of animals sometimes
approaches as closely the processes Of
reasoning as to puzzle person greatly
to tell why it shouldn't be called reason.
A blooded mare belonging to Mr.. Muir
ray Hickson, Of Goodman, N. j., has a
gangling, long-legged colt that is al
ways in mischief. Not long ago some
acid used by Hickson's daughter in
amateur photography was left standing
about, and the fool colt drank it all up,
to the wild confusion Of it's internal
arrangements. Seeing at glance what
had happened, the sensible old mare
pushed and pulled the colt to the wood
ash leach and forced 1t to drink some
of the diluted I've in the kettle under
the spout. Diluted I've is not pheasant
beverage, but the thoroughly fright
ened colt obeyed directions and was
shortly relieved, the alkali of the lye
neutralizing the effect of the acid, ac-
cording to the familiar chemical rule.

that the exquisite type Of Parisienne

One G. H. Freeman, who has been
building creameries throughout Iowa,
under contract with farmers, has run
against a snag at Saylor. An effort was
made to prevent him from erecting a
creamery under a contract he made
with the farmers, and an injunction was
asked for Judge Stevenson refused TO
grant the injunction on the ground that
he had no right to do so, and among
other things said that he had felt from
the time he first saw the contract that
it was a device, and that the people were
misled in signing it; that he felt very
much inclined to say that an injunc-
ton should be issued, but that after
further consideration he felt that par
ties to the contract had a remedy at
law; that the signatures were obtained
by fraud and Misrepresentation, and
much more derogatory to said Freeman,
