The June meeting Of Kennebec Po-
mona grange was held with Vassal-
boro grange, June 10, and was called
to order at 1870 by the Worthy Mas
ter. E. N. Pinkham. After the open
ing exercises the fifth degree was con-
ferred in full form on IS members. ~
being from Va%ssalboro grange. This
was done in a very c~reditable manner
notwithstanding several members OF
the degree team were absent. AT the
conclusion of the degree work a recess
was declared for dinner which was
served in a pavilion erected for thai
purpose on a lot opposite the hall.
After the wants of more than 225 per-
sons had beer satisfied the meeting
was again called to order.
F. C. Drummond, w. S. Weeks, John
Cook, H. A. Priest and II. B. T. Aver
we're appointed as a committee to
make all necessary arrangements for
the field day meeting at Oak Grove.
the last week in August. The meet
ing was then placed in charge of the
lecturer pro TEN. Brother o. o. Crosby
of Albion. AS the ladies appointed to
read apers We're not present, the first
subject. Reforms Demanded in Edu-
cational Methods" was opened by
Brother Fuller of Winslow. The
speaker preferred good business edu-
cation as a foundation, and the orna-
mental afterwards. Methods have
changed out the speaker preferred
some of the old to the new. He
thought the town system vas doing
much to depopulate the rural districts.
A man having a good farm was
anxious to sell at a reduction from the
price paid because he had no school
privileges. Brother Files thought the
town system a change for the better.
Brother f. c. Barrows believes schol-
arS are not so thorough in their
studies now as formerly. Languages
are a great aid but he did not think it
necessary to teach Latin and Greek
to start a young person in the world.
Teachers confine themselves too close
1y to the text book. Teaching should
be broader. The tendency is to over
load the pupil with too many studies.
Brother Priest thought variety neces-
sary to a child's development. Sister
Ellis of Fairfield, saw a good many
defects in the town system. 1t is
beautiful in theory but deficient III

Owing to the absence of State Mas
ter Wiggin, who was to speak upon
the subject of the Mill Tax" this
topic was briefly treated by Brother O..
O. Crosby.
A select reading by Sister Aver and
a recitation by Sister Abbott We're well
received. Good music was furnished
by Fassalboro grange. Visitors wera
cordially invited to remain to supper
and an evening entertainment, and

Removal ola Bullet From the Hand
OfR BOY.

The first case in Omaha in
which a surgical operation was
successfully performed with the
aid of the Y rays occurred this af-
ternoon, says a dispatch from
that mid-continent city of April 3,
when doctors extracted a bullet
which had been located by means
of a Roentgen photograph taken
by Professor Turner of the Oma-
ha High School. The patient was
John Felis, twelve-year-old boy,
and the operation was of such a
nature that it would have been
very serious without this aid.
About two weeks ago the boy was
accidentally shot. The bullet en-
tered the palm of his left hand.
Owing to the bony structure and
tough tissues of the hand it was
practically impossible to locate
the bullet with a probe. More
over, the two arteries which cross
the hand at that point rendered
an incision serious matter unless
the exact location of the bullet
was known. The y rays in an
hour produced a perfect plato,
showing the bullet, which WAS
easily extracted,
