successfully carried out at the last meetino
OF Walpole Grange which was held ont ues.
day evening of this week. Each member
present was hidden to take part in the
program under penalty of five-cent fine
anu altho' the treasury was enriched by
@l.!o yet the program was varied and ex-
tensive. Readings, recitations, dialogues,
pantomlmes, short addresses on interesting
topics, and music, vocal and instrumental
made the evening pass pleas autly and quick
~, and also afforded good deal of amuse-
ment. In some instances, fines were sent
IN by absent members. An original dia-
iogue by two young ladies, touching on the
lads and follies of human nature as illus-
trated by different members in the Grange
orignt and keen, yet not un kindly withal
called forth prolonged applause The next
meeting will be held Nov. End.

Many farmers have fields surround
ed by wire fences. These fields are
often crossed on foot, and many step
saved by avoiding the entrance gate;
this is especially true in the winter
time when the children are going to
school. The wire fence is no respect

made sad by tearing her bright new

How Plants Acquire Food.

The director of the New Jersey ex-
pertinent station says: The legumes,
a class of plants which includes the
various clovcrs, peas, beans, vetches,
ETC., differ from other plants in being
able, under proper conditions, to ac-
quire their nitrogen from the air. and
can, therefore, make perfect growth
without depending upon soil nitrogen.
On the other hand, the various grasses
and grains are not only dependent
upon soil nitrogen, but they must have
an abundance during their most rapid
period of growth in order to attain
their maximum development. For
the latter class of plants favorable re-
suits are secured from the proper use
of nitrogenous manures, while for the
former class the application Of nitro
genous manures simply results in sup-
plying an element which could have
been secured quite as well BY the plant
itself without expense.

The Dunkards, OF Tunkers, belong to
a sect founded in 17O8 at Schwarzenau,
Germany, by Alexander Mack and seven
others, who rejected the doctrines of
paedo-baptism. The name is a nick
name, derived from the German Tunker
to members of the sect styling
themselves Brethren. Persecution
drove the founders to Holland, and be-
tween 1719 and 1929 they all emigrated
thence to America. They are found in
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana, and it is apparent that
some have found their way further
west, but their numbers all told are
not great. Their church discipline is
nearly the same as that of other Bap-
lists, except that every brother is al
lowed to exhort. Men found apt to
teach are ordained ministers, and the
oldest teachers bishops. The Dunkards
affect great plainness of speech and
dress, ike the Quakers; neither take
.,aths, fight, nor go to law. and former
~ they took no interest. They cele-
brate the taking of the sacrament with
love feasts, washing of feet, the kiss
of charity, and the right hand of fell

recovery; and practice complete inn
mersion, with laying on OF hands and
prayer even while the person baptized

A CouNTERFElTER CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make an Inn
pOrtant Capture.

- ~AA~~ 41AGAAC
portant Capture.
On Monday the 18th Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, N. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, N.
Y :, on warrant sworn out by the DR.. Viii
liams' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited photo-engraver in Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative of the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making Of full set of plates for the direc-
ton sheets, labels, etc, of the famous DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home Office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
en- the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting e1-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, ETC.,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in a
search Of his apartments in Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeiting consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, anthony, a small blacksmith
forge, a charcoal furnace. and several plas-
ter-of-paris molds. The United States mar
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for long Pc
Rod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine bust
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita
lions at discount of FROM per cent to pei
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them I'D in small
lots and at discount from dealers who were
overstocked. By working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in a short time. The
proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be
fore he had fairly started and to have thu:
kept these spurious goods out of the market
