''Well, I don't know the actual cost of
this dress, as 1 haven't received the bill
yet, but. including the diamonds l wear

REVOLUTIONS IN FARM LIFE.

No longer is the farm house isolated
Telegraph wires lace the air through the
forests and over the meadows. The tele-
phone brings counties into neighborhood.
Rural free delivery has abolished the
rare and exhausting drive of many miles
over unsafe roads to a postoffice. A
mental desert without books has bios
somed into the travelling library. The de-
spair of fine art is turned into rapturous
glimpses by the travelling picture gallery.
The portable school house and chapel on
wheels are factors in radical and ire
versible change. AS electricity has made
travel cheap, multiplication of processes
of reproduction on the printing press has
brought the ideals of the ages across
the remote thresholds of the tillers of
the soil, shedding a glow of serenity upon
the consciousness of the most important
and hitherto the most depressed section
of humanity.
The most important; for mankind can
dispense with all else but what the earth
yields for perpetuation of the race. Food,
clothing, shelter, are the only indisp ensa-
bles These the soil of the United States
yields in such abundance that if ocean
navigation should be lost the American
people could continue to dwell in COM

at autumn weddings. L am told that

in any shape preferred by the bride are

in size to suit the height A short bride,
for instance, will not think of carrying
great bouquet which might yet be alto

calls for the use of brightly colored flow

must tie the bouquet. The bridegroom's

small boutonniere on his coat, While the

INSPIRATION INSTITUTE.

The institute held at Ionia last Fri.
day and Saturday was by far, if num-
Ders and enthusiasm count, the best
ever held in the county. Prin. Ferris
OF Big Rapids, as conductor and Prof
McFarlane, las instructor, make strong
team. The work OF Prof. Ferris on
nature study and arithmetic was rev
citation TO many present. Prof. McFar-
lane did himself proud on geography
and correlated subjects. These men
are aggressive and progressive. They
have convictions and the courage of
their convictions. Teachers cannot
receive instruction from them without
feeling that something has been added
to their being. The Belding teachers
returned with an inspiration and en-
thusiam which will materially aid in
more efficiently carrying on the work
OF the schools.

DIR. BELL PRESIDENT.

The new state board OF medical ex-
animation and registration, met in
Lansing last week and Immediately en-
countered snags in the persons of Dr.,
NJ. G. Sinclair of Grand Rapids and D.
B. Harrison of Sault Ste Marie, both
members, and the latter secretary Of
the old board. DR.. Harrison read a
letter from DR.. Sinclair protesting
against the new members taking any
action, his claim being that Gov
Bliss nominations were never prop.
erly confirmed, or rather, that Gov.
Pingree's nominations were never dis
posed of, so that the new nominations
could be confirmed. DR.. Harrison also
made the claim, in which he was sus-
tanned by Atty.Gen. Oren, that his
term as secretary will not expire until
next October, the law providing for
the election for two years of a secre-
tary, who may or may not be a mem.
Der Of the board The new board de-
cided TO recognize Harrison as secre-
tary, but he stands with Sinclair and
refuses to recognize the board. Atty
Gen. Oren advised the board that the
interests of the public demand that
this question be judicially determined
before any further action is taken, and
for this reason the board adjourned
without transacting any other business
than the election OF DR.. William Bell
OF Bedding as president. Atty. Zen.

ate proceedings to test the question

FROM SMALL BEGINNING.
The silk Manufacturing Business OF held

The silk Manufacturing Business OF Beld
ing Bros. & co. Has Risen.
Rockville correspondent OF the Springfield
Mass, Republican.
The efforts that have been made Tor
some time To secure the stock OF the cor
poration of Belding Bros. & Co., silk
manufacturers, by an English syndicate
recalls the wonderful success OF this
company, largely due TO the business
ability OF the managers. The company
began business in very small way,
and has grown To be the largest manu-
featuring concern OF the kind in the
country, with a capital OF 81, 900 ,OOO, 600,
and large mills in Rockville, North
hampton, Montreal, Bedding, Mich,
and San Francisco. A. N. Belding,
vice president of the corporation, has
lived in Rockville for many years,
where he has the finest and most costly
residence in this section OF the state.
When young man, in company with
his brother, Ii. II. Belding he began
the sale OF sewing silk from house to
house, the material being supplied by
another brother in the east, NJ. M.
Belding. The bushes prospered from
the start and the firm soon had sever-
al teams on the road supplying the iobb-
ing trade. In three years they had a
house located in Chicago. Ia 1868 the
brothers came to Rockville and bought
the silk mill of r. X. Rose ~ Co. where
they began the manufacture OF silk IN
a small way. The firm prospered from
the start, and the Rockville mill has
been enlarged, new mill built, and
large mills secured in various other
cities. Much OF the success attained is
due TO the efforts of A. n. Bedding, who
has been active in the management OF
the business during all these years.
This business has been one OF Rock
ville's most important industries, and il
the sale is effected there will be gener-
al regret, although it is not known how
the new management would effect the
business interests of the city.
