BE CAREFUL OF HER.
rhe Farmer who Fails to he Good
to His Wife Makes the Mistake
of H:s Life.

Some farmers, when they are hur-
ried with other duties at this season,
expect the good wife to worm the cab
bage and bug the potatoes the time
she is not stopping pigs, feeding chick
ems and milking COWS, besides cook
ing for the hands.
She is perfectly willing to do all
these things to help along, but the
farmer ought not to expect her to do
work that the hired man or himself
can do, If it does make him little later
to the cornfield or getting at the hay.
Some very good men are so thought
less about their wives, while they take
the best of care of the farm team.
1t costs money to replace horses. 1t
is sometimes difficult to replace a
good woman. Number two does not
always prove such willing helper

The Anti-adulteration Law.

Arrangements are being made at
Washington for the enforcement with
vigor OF the ant-adul,eratlon law which
goes into effect on July 1. Compare.
lively few people know that such a
law exists. 1t was passed by the last
congress IN a somewhat unusual way
The principal pure food bill which
was before congress failed OF passage
owing to strong opposition. The law
which was enacted was in the form
of paragraph ir the agricultural ap-
preparation bill and thus escaped at
tention. If the paragraph had been
discovered it is probable that enough
pressure could have been brought by
persons who would be affected to have
caused its rejection.
The law regulates the importation
Of foods, drugs and liquors, giving the
secretary of the treasury authority TO
open packages, supply sufficient quan-
titles of their contents for testing pur-
poses TO the agricultural department
and if the tests show authorizations to
refuse TO deliver the consi gnment.
There is no doubt law OF this kind
is needed and that it is strictly in the
interests of public health. A large
proportion of imported foods, drugs
and liquo-s are adulterated to an ex-
tent which would prohibit their sale
IN the countries of their origin. Goods
which cannot be sold at home owing
to government regulations should not
be palmed off on American consumers.
The next step in congressional leg
islation of this character should be a
federal law tending to prevent the
home manufacture OF and traffic in
spurious and adulterated goods and
particularly food products. In some
states, notably New York, there are
very poor laws of this sort. There is,
however, an organized traffic in spu-
rlously labeled and fagrantly adulter-
ated goods going on all over the
country, and it ought to be speedily
stopped.

To Abolish Rural Routes
Hundreds Established by Machcn To Please
Members Of Congress.

The investigation made by Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
of the affairs of the free delivery dlvi-
sion, formerly conducted by Superin-
tendant Machen, who was summary
dismissed and arrested on a charge of
bribery just week ago, has resulted
In the discovery that IN order 10 re-
store the service to proper state it
will be necessary to abolish one third
OF the rural free delivery routes now
in operation in the Southern states
and about one-hfth of those establish.
ed in the Northern states.
The investigation shows that routes
have been established without any
possible excuse save as a matter OF
favor to members of Congress, and
that money appropriated by Congress,
for this purpose has been expended
with almost criminal extravaganza.
On many of these routes the receipts
do not average S. month and on
Others the receipts do not begin to
justify the existence of the routes.
Postmaster General Payne said on
Thursday that no action would be
taken 10 reduce the number of rural
routes until full test has been made
of each individual case and the results
noted. Then, whatever routes are
found to be unwarranted will be DIS
continued. AT present, he declined
to make an estimate as to the prob
able number of these routes.

JOHN BROWNS BODY.
icposcs in n Grave Ncnr Lake Placid
Among Tic Northern Adi-
rOudlcks.

Halfway between the Mohawk
river and the Canadian line. in Essex
county N. y, shut in by IA dozen
towering peaks of the Aoirondacks,
are the living place and sleeping
place of "Old John Brown" The
living place is the home from which
Brown went out to fight in Kansas,
and the sleeping place is the grave
beside giant granite bowlder-the
grave in which they laid his body aft
er the execution at Charleston, in
1859. Thirty-seven years after his
DEATH when the horror of his anar-
chy had been forgotten, Kate Field
and "A dozen friends bought the old
Brown farm, at North Elba, and
turned it over to the state as pub
lie charge. 1t is near Lake Placid
and the other resorts of the northern
Adirondacks, says the Four-Track
News.
Frequently during the summer So
journers in want of amusement go
over to the place and rest for few
minutes in the low-roofed, two-story
house. Everyone knows the story of
John Browns repeated business fail
ures, his visions, in which voice"
told him to free the slaves, his part
in the slavery war in Kansas, and
the attack on the arsenal at lIarper's
Ferry. All these things the world
has weighed, and it has given an hon
Ored place TO him who was arch an
archist only so years ago.

GAVE PROVIDENCE CREDIT.
A Naval Chaplain Got an Appoint-
ment Despite the Presidents
OppOsitiOn.

At recent dinner in Washington.
says New York Mail and Express
writer, Capt. -, of the United States
navy, told the following story about
certain shallow-pated naval chaplain
who was looked upon with scant re-
spect by his brother officers. From
travelling salesman the man had turned
preacher and, backed by influence,
came to Washington in Mr.. Cleveland's
time to get naval chaplaincy. When
he was introduced at the white house
Mr.. Cleveland looked over him in his
grave, penetrating way and said:
"Mr. -, this is no case for favor
itism; we want man of merit and
ability for this post"
The applicant rejoined:
"Mr President, if it is Gods will
that / go into the navy, neither you
nor any one else can keep me out"
The president eyed him for a mo-
ment and then said dryly:
"Well, Mr. - I'll do my part, any
way. Good-morning."
"The cream of the joke is" said the
narrator, ''that the fellow-who really
did get into the navy later-told the
story himself with all seriousness, ad-
ding: And as l left the room | had a
strong conviction that it was not the
will of Providence that should enter
the navy at that time"

SIGNING CONTRACTS.
The Grange Should Teach Care In
Such Matters.

y The grange puts premium on intel
ligence. 1t educates farmers to keep
up with the times, to, be alert to their
Opportunities and privileges and keep
posted in a general way on what is GO
ing on In the world, particularly as 1t
may affect their own interests. The In
teligent granger has no right to be de-
ceived ON anything pertaining to his
occupation SO far as it is open to inves-
tigation. But there are sharp people
travelling in farming communities these
days, and one of their sharp tricks Is
to get the farmers signature to doc
ument-it may be note or check or a
contract. Hidden meanings In con-
tracts have caused much trouble and
cost farmers many dollars. A contract
presented by stranger is a good thing
not to sign. Why contract for plow
or harrow or patent washing ma
chine? Why buy of strangers anyway?
But, If you do, the agent should be
quite well satisfied with cash pay
ment for the article, and if the farmer
cannot pay for it he would better not
have it. Let these agents deliver
goods first: then pay them. Refuse
contracts with strangers. Keep your
eyes open.

LESSON FROM NATURE.
How She Is Working Continually to
Maintain the Richness of the
Virgin Soil.

Nature made the lands, in a great
part of our states, rich and fertile.
How did she do it? If we study nature
and note how she is working to main
tain the richness Of the land and how
she has been doing to build up the soil,
then, possibly we can, if we will, stop
this waste For thousands of years
where timber has grown on the land,
the annual crop of leaves has been de-
posted on the ground, and the trunks
and branches of the trees, one after
another, have fallen on the ground and
decayed, becoming vegetable mold.
Occasionally, tree would turn up by
the roots, thus bringing up a portion
of the subsoil and setting il on edge so
that the elements-the air, sun, frost
and rain-could act on it, and make
soluble and available the plant food
contained in it. AS this subsoil,
brought up by the overturning trees,
is crumbled and leveled down through
the processes of nature, it buries up a
large amount of the decaying leaves
and wood that have fallen on the
ground, and in this way the land is
plowed and cultivated, sometimes very
deeply, and the decaying vegetable
matter thoroughly mixed in so that
the soil is filled with humus. Humus is
not only plant food, but it enables the
soil to hold much more water than it
would without the humus. The roots of
the trees and shrubs and some plants
that GROWN the woods, send their roots
down deep in the earth, thus disin-
tegrating the soil and letting air into
it, and when these roots die, as they
will in time, they add more humus to
the soil.-C. p. Goodrich, in Farmers
Review.

BUILT SHIP IN THE WOODS.
Work Upon which n Retired Sea
Captain Has been Engaged
for Thirteen Years.

The Fourth of July will witness the
launching at Quaker Neck wharf,
Chester river, Kent county, of Bay
vessel which Capt. Jedsou. retired
mariner, has been - years in building,
and which stands i'm the woods a mile
and half. Some years ago Capt. jed
son arrived in Baltimore from deep
sea voyage. lie decided to come ashore
and go to farming, settling in Kent
county. He is now n years old. He
has built the craft all by himself, with
the aid of an AK, reports the Baltimore
American.
In the eighties he went into the
woods near his home and began chop
ping out the keel and the timbers.
The keel was laid in 1881. Then he
stopped work, and the framework
was allowed to fall to pieces. In few
years the old love of the sea rekindled
Capt. Jedson's enthusiasm, and he
started again to rebuild the vessel. He
has worked on the vessel for 13 contin-
uous years, and now has a craft so feet
long and 11H feet beam. Her cabin
ceiling is nine feet high, with a dining
room measuring eight by ten feet. The
vessel will be equipped with 25-horse
power engine and 4O-horse power
boiler.
Capt. Jedson proposes to use horse
in dragging the vessel mile and half
out of the woods to water. The entire
time that he has spent on the craft has
been 22 years.

Grange
THE POMONA GRANGE.
It's .ReIationship to the or1ordinatc
GrRrve.

It's Relationship to the Subordinate
Grange.
A we'll organized and progressive
Pomona grange in any grange county
of sufficient membership Is conducive
10 means of cnlargng the scope and
usefulness of the subordinate oranges,
MS 1t advances a step higher and Is
recognized by the state grange as au-
thority on all matters of grange inter-
est.
The Pomona grange, says Hon. Il. Il.
Norris in the New England Home
stead. should be oflicercd by the bright
est and most sterling Patrons In their
respective counties, and all subordi-
nate members should become Pomona
members. At each quarterly meeting
concise reports should be given from
every subordinate grange in the coun-
ty, stating the number OF members add
ed during the quarter, etc. Thus the
condition OF each subordinate grange
could be reached in every county in
the state. The legislative feature can
be made more effective, as whatever
action Is taken in the Pomona must
necessarily be from the delegated body
of the subordinate grange, and there
fore it voices the membership through
out the county.
The press has done much to enhance
the usefulness of the grange. Every
subordinate grange should elect cor
respondent to send items from their
grange to the press every week or at
least every month. Publicity of grange
work and its advancement would thus
be encouraged. Editors of grange col
umns in our agricultural and local pa
pers are glad to receive short articles
relative to the grange from all parts
of the state. We urge upon our sub
ordinate and Pomona oranges the ne
cessity of establishing direct news cor
respondence with all our leading agri.
cultural journals, to the end that ma
terlal assistance may be extended to
z all lines of work that tend to elevate
the American people to better under
standing of all the duties that devolve
upon them to advance and maintain a

at lunatic asylum. He chose u
brilliant Slav composition, and the
audience seemed delighted One of
the regular boarders came up and be-
gan to talk with him. Kubelik asked
him how he liked the performance.
The lunatic stared at him for awhile
and then sad "Well, to think of the
likes of you being allowed out while
l. am kept in here"
