Grange Has Wide scope.

During the past ten years there has
been a widespread revival of interest
in the organization of the Grange, and
the outlook Is exceedingly promising
Since 1890 the membership has in
creased not less than rs per cent. New
York at present has 500 subordinate
Oranges with $4,000 members, Penn
sylvania 526 Oranges and 10000 mem
bers, Maine 275 Oranges with $4,000
members, New Hampshire go Oranges
with $4,000 members, Michigan 420
Oranges and nearly $4,000 members.
These states lead, but the order is
also active and strong in Vermont,
Connecticut, Ohio and Massachusetts,.
Thirty states pay dues to the national
Grange treasury, and twenty-four
were represented by delegates at the
last national Grange.

Acting on the theory that superior
craftsmanship wins in modern war
fare, the United States government has
just adopted a new device, which tends
to give our soldiers every advantage
in that line. Some valuable and prac-
ticable lessons were gained during the
Spanish war in regard to inaccurate
shooting. when a deal of ammunition
was used up with no result. The bull
lets in most cases went above the heads
of the enemy. This was attributed
solely to poor aim and inability OF
soldiers to locate and distinguish OBJ
jects at a distance.
The government has adopted new
telescope sight of great magnifying
power which is to be mounted on the
Krag -Jorgensen rifle. At present the
sharpshooter corps in the Philippines
have been sent the first installment OF
the new telescope sight. In the dark
iungles of the island forest these tele-
scopes are said to have already proved
most effectual in bringing down the
far-dstant forms Of the insurgents
which. without this aid, could not have
been seen by the naked eye. At
range of 1000 yards in hazy weather
a man can be picked off as easily as at
500 feet in bright light. The Ordnance
Board of the army has carried series
of exhaustive tests with telescope
sight and has recommended its use In
the highest terms. The telescope is OF
practically universal focus, and there

An incident which reflects great
credit on the labor organization OF the
country occurred at the late convention
OF the American Federation of Labor
In Louisville, KY. The National
Liquor Dealers association came be-
fore the convention with formal pro-
posal that the two bodies form an Of
fensive and defensive alliance. The
liquor dealers were ready to agree, in
the event of this coalition, to employ
only union bartenders and walters, and
70 sell union made beer. For a time
It looked as IL they might persuade the
labor men, but delegate from Illinois
arose, and in a stirring speech recalled
the influence of Miss Frances E. Will
lard on behalf of organized labor, and
urged the convention in her name to
reject the proposition. When the vote
was taken its was almost unanimously
against the alliance. The Knights of
Labor have also taken the same ground
"a course which will add more
strength to the organization than
would be a million dollars in its treas
ury.

using common barbwire fences as a
conductor OF the voice of its patrons,
