CACTUS PEARS IN THE PORT
LAND MARKET.

A number of boxes of ''prickly pears
were offered for sale by Front street
commission men yesterday. They are
the fruit of the species of cactus known
as the prickly pear, which is familiar to
all who have crossed the plains in
emigrant trains or who have Travelled
in Southern California. Arizona or
Mexico They are not in the shape of
a pear exactly, being nearly of the same
size at both ends. The fruit is juicy
and full of seeds, and has a strange
flavor, which would doubtless be much
liked when one became accustomed to
it. A liking for bananas, mangoes,
avocado pears, or in fact, almost any
kind of tropical fruit, is an acquired
taste Portland Oregonian.

sble broker obtained a large amount
of government bonds at no outlay.

CONNECTICUT STATE GRANGE.
Annual Meeting of State Grange in
New Haven.

Annual Meeting of State Grange in
New Haven.
Once year each grange in the state
sends it's master and his wife to the
grand roundup or annual meeting,
which is to be held this year in War
ner hail. New Haven, January ~, IS
and IA, 1897.
The grange is an agricultural or
ganization and includes in it's member
ship not only the fathers and sons, but
also the wives and daughters CT the
farm.
The occupation of an agriculturist
necessarily makes his home in the coun-
try and more or less isolated from
neighbors. This condition that he is
in makes an organization like the
grange almost a case of necessity for
trict, political and religious lines are
obliterated. Good character and agri-
Cultural luLeTeStS are requisite 1or
membership.
Their regular meetings afford a
chance for study and comparison of
subjects which are of common inter-
est.
These subordinate grange meetings
held in 125 or 1870 places in the state
about twice month the year round
and oftener in fall and winter are a
bright wave of help in our agricultural
communities and have done much to
encourage and uplift them. While
their main object is educational, yet
they are eminently social and are gen
orally popular with the young people.
Many a boy and girl has grown up to
love the country because for him or
her there has been a grlnge in 1t.
The grange is a secret society, it is
true, but that ought not to be an OBJ
lection to it. There is only secrecy
enough about it to hold it together as
an organization.
There are about 100 subordinate
oranges in Connecticut, having a mem
bership of 10000

penses.
