Pine Grove Range Mch. 1
nom.-NIade Barometer.

One of the most serviceable and useful
articles about the farm is good barome-
ter which will foretell nearly all the
changes i'm the weather. There is no rea-
son why we should be without such a use
full instrument when we can procure first
class one at cost of about so cents.
Many of the so.called barometers are Of
little use on account of the poor quality of
the chemicals used. If we buy the chem
icals ourselves we will be more apt to get
better instrument. Buy the following from
a good chemist; One ounce of camphor,
one ounce of saltpetre, one ounce of am
monia salts, and dissolve them in 10 drains
of alcohol. Shake the mixture well and
pour into long slender bottle, and cork up
tightly. Be sure and have the bottle full,
so there will be little or no air inside.
Hang your barometer on the north side of
building, or some place not exposed to the
sun, and the following will be your weather
indlcations Absolute clearness of the
liquid means fair weather. Thread like
objects at the top of the bottle indicate
high wind If the liquid becomes roily it
is a sign of rain. Little stars in the liquid
mean a hard storm. If downy masses
form in the bottom of the bottle it will be
cold; the more these masses rise to the top
the colder it will become.-Fdrmers Ad-

and scientific art Of cooking tau-ht. and
the physical training given and insisted
upon in our best female schools and col
leges.
The afternoon session began with a very
eloquent and able address OF welcome by
T. W. Johnson. which was followed by the
response OF c. ID. Whitman in his charac-
teristically entertaining style. The music
furnished by the State Line grange was Of
high order and gave proof that this
grange is especially endowed with an
abundance Of musical talent. The solos
by Mrs. Martindale and l.. W. Brown were
fine and the audience evinced their APP
probation by calling for more"
The discussion of the question, "What

1t is said that the snow there was ac-

were unable to secure good cattle.

The town meeting Tuesday was a mild
hammered gathering, the only struggles
marking it being over the election of Sc
lectmen and road commissioner There
was little of acrimonious debate. j. G..
Stafford had his annual field day for air
ing his views, and was heard on nearly
every debatable article
His remarks in favor of economy had
something to do, undoubtedly, with the
backward step taken in the vote against a
special highway tax for the construction
of macadam highways. 1t Is to be regret
ted that David Perry did not make his re-
ply unit after the vote was taken. Mr.
Perry's words carried canviction to most
hearers and made Mr. Staffords logic APP

The meeting opened promptly at Q
o'clock, with probably 400 voters present.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The present
outlook is unfavorable to the senate's
giving much attention to the Hawaiian
treaty during this week. The agree.
ment to vote on Thursday upon the
Teller resolution rcaffirming the doc
trine that United States bonds are pay
able in silver at the option of the gov
ern ment will in all probability result
in the senate's giving the major por-
tion of its time until that date to
this measure with the exception of
that necessary to the consideration Of
appropriation bills. Senator Turpie
has given notice Of a speech on the
Teller resolution for Monday and it is
expected that speeches for 1t will be
made by Senators Teller, Pettigrew,
White and Others and that there also
will be some addresses in opposition.
Senator Nelson has offered an amend
ment declaring for the maintenance
of the parity of the two metals, but the
silver men, considering this proposed
modification hostile to their purpose
will not accept it. They say they will
insist upon q vote upon the resolution
a. it stands.

The Evening Fan.

It isn't the thing to wear an evening
fan on a gold chain any more It should
be worn on string of imitation pearls
If you cannot afford the real thing, and
few can, since the correct length for the
string is seven feet If a wealthy woman
wears one Of these ornaments, it is i'm
possible to tell that the jewels are bogus
or at least that's what the shopkeepers
say. The mock pearls are certainly per-
feet enough and pretty enough to make
the worst wounded oyster in the waters
ashamed of the pearl with which he
mends his she'll 1t is also the style to
wear these strings wound round and
