ing: II am here to speak in the inter-
ests of our firesides and homes, the
principles that rest on the solid rock
of Agriculture for their perpetuity.
These are the principles that the
Grange rests upon. Agriculture is the
bedrock of the Nations prosperity"
Following Mrs Woodman's s address was
a pleasing solo by Miss Innis of STRAIT

did honor to noble man. He touched
on the work of the Grange in different
branches, the Constitutional Convent
ion, Rural Mail Delivery, etc. The re-

efforts in the early days Of agricul-

tural work.
Brother Gardiner, Master of Maine

cred by Hon n. J. Bachelor, Lecturer
of the National Grange and Master of
New Hampshire State Grange. The
need of New England is an up-tO-date
Agriculturist. The common man is
making no money to-day. 1t is the
fellow who is just little better than
the other who is making the money.
The Grange needs more State legis-
lation, and many excellent ideas and
suggestions were offered by the Worthy
Lecturer. In the evening class of
over 100 took the sixth degree in full
form. The comforting of the degree
was very ably done by Brother Gar
diner of Maine, on invitation of Master
Patterson. The exemplifcation of the
secret work was done by one of the
deputies. A light collation. was
served.

CLEVER WORK OF YOUNG STUDENTS.
Editor of The BEE, My Dear Sir:
Thinking the readers of The BEE
might be interested in some of the
work being done by the children of
a sample. They committed to memory
two stanzas of Mr. Kingsley's poem and
were then directed to write letter to
an imaginary friend expressing their
opinion of them. The average age of
the writer's is 13 years. Yours truly,
[P. H. Mccarthy.
The following are the stanzas:
"My fairest child, have no song to give you;
No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray;
Yet, ere we part, one lesson can leave you
For every day.
Be good sweet maid, and let who will be clever;
And so make life, death, and that vast forever
One grand sweet song"
NewtOwn, Ct., January 10, 1902.
Dear Jamie: Our teacher read us a
poem written by Charles Kingsley; he
thought it a very nice poem to learn
by heart. 1t tells us not to dream of
the future and what we expect to do
but to do all the things that we have
to do now. 1 think that it is very
good advice for everybody.
I must close my letter now. Yours
very truly,-[Paul Wolcott.

Dear Mabel: Our teacher, Mr. Nc
Carthy, has given the first class in
grammar poem written by Mr. Charles
Kingsley. In one part it says, "Be
good, sweet maid, and let who will be
clever" which think is good advice
not sweet and good at all. In second
part he says, "Do noble things, not
dream them all day long," which I
think is very good. But very often
give myself up to dreaming. If all
girls and boys comprehend to Mr.
Kingsley's advice in his stanzas we
would never have to be reproved.

Dear Alice: Our grammar lesson
for to-day is poem composed by Mr.
Charles Kingsley, which our teacher,
Mr. Mccarthy, has given to us in the
first class, to write about. 1t says in
one part ''Be good, sweet maid, and
let who will be clever;'' which think
is good advice for us all, don't you?
Although we are not always very
sweet and sometimes not SO clever as
we seem to be. Another part is, ''Do
noble things, not dream them all day
long," which is very true, although we
are all apt to dream sometimes, which
comes very often to me. I think if
we all heed Mr. Kingsley's verses we
would be sweet and clever maids.

poem and we are to learn it by heart.
The poem was written by Mr. Charles

about them. think it is very good
advice for all of us. For we are not
always very good. So this is all at
present. From your loving friend,

AFTERNOON SESSION THURSDAY.

BISHOP KINsOLvING' s ADDRESS AT THE
AFTERNOON SESSION THURSDAY.
Right Rev Lucien Lee Kinsolving,
of Porto Allegro, Brazil, the boy bishop
of South Brazil, was the principal
speaker at the afternoon session of the
annual meeting of the WOman'S aux
iliary of the Fairfield archdeacOnry,
held in St James church in this city
last week Thursday. Bishop Kinsolv-
ing is young man, and has been in
Brazil for IL years. He is now travel
ing and speaking in the United States
in the interest of the mission work in
Brazil, a country of which, as he says,
the average person is profoundly igno-
rant. Bishop Rowe, of Alaska, was
expected to be one of the speakers of
from Boston at a late hour stating
that he was unable to fill his engage
ment. The afternoon session was
opened in the usual manner. The full
vested choir of the church sang.

T. Linsley of Newtown, secretary of
the archdeaconry, who spoke on the
subject, "The Basis of Missionary
Work" Bishop Kinsolving followed
Mr. Linsley, and took up in his line of
thought the scriptural authority for
foreign missionary effort. He spoke at
some length about Brazil, which he
said was a country which had been
greatly neglected religiously, where
the people were infdels and atheists
to a great extent, and where even the
Roman church, which has large num-
ber of organizations and priests, has
almost no power or influence. He told
in some detail the results of his l:
years of missionary work, a work which
asked no support from the mission
board of the Episcopal church, but
which depends on the voluntary con
tributions of people, and which hat

Pennsylvania day at the South Caro-

will be appropriately celebrated on
April 16, next, when Governor Stone

commissioners, will visit the great

Among the superintendent and op-

"E. L. Fuller said today that he and
his associates would be fully able to
satisfy Mayor Hayes that they do not
represent the Pennsylvania railroad in
their bid for the Western Maryland,
and that the interests back of his SYM
dicate are as strong as the Pennsyl-
vania. He said the bid of the Syndi-
cate would be increased to meet the
demands of the mayor, and was conf
dent that it would eventually be ac-
cepted. Asked relative to the report
that the Wabash was behind his syndi-
cate, Mr. Fuller declined to discuss that
question The syndicate is said to con-

Delano, president of numerous coal

Fairfax S. LandStreet, who has been
general manager of the coal interests
of the West Virginia Central. The syn
dicate is said to control the West Vir-
ginia Central and PittSburg railway,
and according to report is arranging for
extensive DEVELOPMENTS of that prop

have been awarded for ] 900 steel coal
cars, each of fifty tons capacity at a
cost of $1,35O0OO.
"The first step taken will be to util-
ize the Little Kanawha railroad and

John Fern, superintendent of the OK
ford washery, operated by the Deia-
ware. I,ackawanna and Western COM
pany. and inventor of the Fern patent
Slatepicker, has an application pend
ing at Washington for patent on q
"screw conveyor," which will be used
for conveying culm from the dumps
into the main conveyors ana tnence
into the washeries for separation.
At present the culm is taken from the
dumps at q pitch of 40 degrees, anu
when the pile is reduced to about half'
the remainder is shoveled by men INTO
the conveyors. The Fern appliance VIII
do away with the water flush pans anu
those used in flushing culm into the
conveyors, and decrease the labor re-
uuired from % to so per cent.
This appliance is to be attached 10
the main conveyor. and will do the
work now done by the hose, water ana
sboyelers. The saving in water used
alone, without the labor involved, is an
important item in the operation OF
washeries.
A working model is now being built,
which will be placed in operation at
the oxford washery as soon as COM
peted. The appliance consists of move
able screws. fifteen feet long, which
gather in the crlm for q distance OF
thirty feet. It is attached to wire
rope, which is the driving power or
shaft, connected with the engine which
operates the main conveyor.
The screws are worked on the coil
plan, and carry the culm into hop
per, and thence into the main conveyor.
The weight OF the screws is sufficient
to carry the culm, thus sustaining the
proper gravitation. 1t is adjusted to
any position by means of ropes at
tached to windlass on the main con-
veyor These ropes elevate the screws,
lower them or pitch them to right or
left, as required.
The feature of the appliance is the
"yoke" in which the cogwheels are
yoked together thus keeping them in
''lnesh," as the inventor puts it. Those
who have seen the appliance pronounce
it very practical and useful inven-
ton.
