JUVENILE ORANGES.
How Organization May he Effected.
Important Facts stated.

important Fncts stated.
There is a growing interest in the or.
ganization of Juvenile oranges. The
following facts, promulgated at the ses-
sion of the national grange In 1890,
will be of interest:
Juvenile oranges may be organized
under such regulations as the state
grange may provide, and each juvenile
grange shall be within the jurisdiction
and under the special charge of n sub
ordinate grange. Any master of a sub
ordinate grange may organize ju-
venile grange within his jurisdiction.
Children or persons eligible to member
ship In the subordinate grange, over
eight and under fourteen years of age,
are eligible to membership in the ju-
venile grange. The membership fee Is
usually 10 cents and the quarterly dues
cents per member although the fees
and dues are regulated by each grange
for itself.
The officers of the juvenile grange
bear the same titles as those of the
subordinate grange, with the omission
Of the steward, his duties being per-
formed by the gate keeper. Each ju-
venile grange should elect matron
who Is a member of the subordinate
grange. A Juvenile grange cannot be
organized with less than twelve per-
sons, four of whom must be girls.
In organizing n Juvenile grange the
master of the subordinate grange
should select from the children eligible
to membership twelve of suitable age
and ability for officers. Their names
should be enrolled upon an application
form and sent to the state grange for
permission to organize. for manuals,
charter, etc. The secretary of the state
grange will give information as to the
amount to he remitted for manuals and
other supplies, and after receiving the
official authority the juvenile grange
may be organized. The bylaws of the
subordinate grange will govern in all
matters not provided for in the in
structions or in the manual.
The ritual work of the juvenile grange
Is uplifting and elevating in words and
sentiment. Young people usually enter
with great zest into the performance
Of their duties and become imbued will
purer thoughts and more elevating
ideas of their duties and responsible
ties In life

MUSIC AT MEALTIME.
IL Is Agreeable to some, Hut There
Are Those who Seriously OBJ
iect to the Accompn n iment.

Music has charms to soothe the saw
age breast. we have been frequently
told, and it even has the power to
quiet the usually persistently active
mosquito, but yet there are people who
are opposed to the use of music in the
public dining hall, because it Is not of
a character to suit the tastes of all
corners, says the Boston Budget. They
would rather have only the sound Of
rafting dishes and the clatter of
knives and forks while the inner man
is being fed, and they would Danish
the orchestra and piano from the res
taurant. Probably they are also op-
posed to the Pops" in our own city,
where one enjoys drinking and eating
during the performances of a band Of
carefully selected artists.
II music, heavenly maid, has to dis
appear from the banquet room, where
will she go? Perhaps into sound
proof compartment, where only a SOL
itary feaster, like Will Waterproof in
his box, may enjoy her allurements
They have retreats Of this kind in
some academies where the piano bang
er can bang away without disturbing a
neighbor, and bonifaces may take a
hint from this and serve music pri-
vately, as they sometimes serve quiet
meals, to few congenial spirits.
Then, perhaps. those who think good
digestion does not wait on appetite

Largest OIL Well shot.

A large shot was recently exploded in
an oil well in the Allegheny oil field.
1t consisted of 400 quarts of nitro
glycerin loaded in 20 shells, each shell
being seven inches in diameter by 20
inches long. The well was 1,400 feet
deep, and the nitroglycerin was tamped
with 80 barrels of water and rs feet of
Oil The "go-devil" was dropped but
for fully minute there was no sound,
then a column of water rose from the

rocks and water to height of 150 feet.
This is believed to be the largest oil
well shot on record

ROMANCE IN VARIED GUISE.
ehe Definition of the Word IL sus-
ccptibIc of n Wide Diver
sincation.

What Is romance? Even the COLO
quial use of the term is varied. When
we say "you are romancing" or call
anything as romantic as distinguished
from what is real or what is true, we
mean one thing, but quite another
when we apply the term romantic to
natural scenery, says Harper's Maga-
zine And in this application we must
distinguish between the effect upon us
of that which we call romantic because
Of human associations with certain
sights or sounds and that wildness OF
nature which we call romantic because
of its absolute dissertation from any
thing human.
Keeping out of mind for the present
the use Of the word in artistic and lit
erary criticism, let us try to find what
element of reconcilement there is in the
diversities Of colloquial usage.
In all that is generally called romantic
In the cases above mentioned there is
the common element of strangeness.
We easily revert to what must have
been the original sense OF the word in
its connection with those medieval
notifications Of the Latin tongue known
as the romance languages. The Saxon
or Celt would have found his native
tongue sufficient for all ordinary needs,
but II he caught the Roman air in any
way. by travel or refinement Of taste
and habit, he would to meet the newly
developed need, borrow the graces of the
Roman speech-that is, he would ro-

A JUST ESTIMATE
OF the Principles and Purposes of
the Grange.


The ultimate object of this organi-
zation is for mutual instruction and
protection" to tighten labor by diffus-
ing knowledge of its aims and pur-
poses, to expand the mind by tracing
the beautiful laws that the great Gre
ator has established in the universe
and to enlarge our views of creative
wisdom and power. We are somewhat
proud of our Order, says Il. T. Wheel
ock in the National Stockman, and do
not hesitate TO commend it to our broth
er farmers for their careful and dill
gent study of its declared principles
and purposes, as something that does
concern them and ought to interest
them. The grange needs you, and, much
more, you need its help and inspiration
In your social and business connections.
You need its moral, intellectual and
educational opportunities If you are to

manly speak@g no desirable thing is
but its cost in money and time Is so dis
proportionate to the benefits conferred
that the cost seems to be of little mo-
ment.
The grange is past the experimental
stage. 1t is an assured success. Its
influence Is felt in our homes, on our
farms, in society, even reaching into
our legislative assemblies-local, state
and national. 1t stands upon its merits.

thoughtful, unbiased consideration and

vided your mind and heart are open

In faith, in hope and in charity we
present these lines to the farming

ciples herein laid down as being in
accord with the Golden Rule and tend
ing to produce the greatest good to the

Rural Delivery Rules.
Unless Complied With the Carriers Will be
Directed Not to Serve Patrons.

A recent order of the Postmaster
General regarding the use of boxes on
rural free delivery routes is of interest
to all patrons. That part related to
the interference with boxes is based
on the following act cf congress:
"Whoever shall hereafter willfully
or maliciously ipjure, tear down or
destroy any letter box or other recep.
tacle established by order of the post
master general or approved or design
ated by him for the receipt or deliv-
cry Of mail on any rural free delivery
route, or shall break open the samer
or wilIfully or maliciously injure, de-
face or destroy any mail matter de-
posted therein, or shall willfully take
or steal from or out of such letter box
or other receptacle or shall willfully
aid or assist in any of the aforemen-
toned offenses, shall be punished for
every such oftense by fine of not
more than one thousand dollars or by
imprisonment for not more than three
years"
Each box must be erected by the
roadside so that the carrier can easily
obtain access to it without dismounting
from his vehicle. The same box must
rot be used for more than one family,
except IN case of near relatives or
those residing in the same house.
Persons neglecting or refusing to
comply with these conditions will be
regarded as not desiring rural free de-
livery and the rural carrier will be
directed not to serve them.

It Was Excited by Red Handed An- archist Who Advocated More Fre- quent Resorting to Bloodshed.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 12.-Gov. Hunt returned here tonight from Ponce where he attended banquet in honor of the extension of American railways in Porto Rico. Everywhere he was received with enthusiastic greetings.
 Yesterday the socialists and anarch- ists and the police had q clash on the streets of this city. Forty arrests were made and many of the prisoners were today convicted and sentenced to six months Imprisonment including the anarchist. Condo. who was recently convicted of insulting the American flag.
 The clash was due to the socialists who attacked the police. Later the mob was ordered to disperse and on meeting with refusal the police used their clubs freely. The Americans here are particularly incensed at the carry ing of black and red flags and q draped American flag by mob yester- day as an indictment to disorder. Condo delivered very offensive ha rangue in which he approves of tne mob resortinE to bl0odshed cftener.
 The Americans demanded the pun ishment of all the dangerous socialists and are overwhelming Governor Hunt with assurances Of support in a vigor- ous campaign to uphold law and order. They urge that an immediate blow be given to anarchy here. Today wa. quiet. More men arrested for attack ing the police will be tried tomorrow.

JUST ONE A DAY. How the Coffee Crank Compromise:
 His Health.

Some people say: Coffee don't hurt me" and then add: Anyway I only drink one cup d day
 If coffee really don't hurt why not drink more? There is but one answer and that is coffee does hurt them and they know it. When they drink it once it day they compromise with their en- eny. There are people whom one cup of coffee d day will put in hed. if the habit be continued.
 Although warned by physicians to let coffee alone I have always been so fond of it that I continued to use it. confesses an Ohio lady. T compromised with myself and drank just one cup every morning until about six weeks ago.
 All the time I was drinking coffee had heart trouble that grew steadily worse and finally I had such alarming sensations in my head Sometimes causing me to fall down) that 1 at last took my doctors advice and quit cof- fee and began to use Postum Coffee in it's place.
 The results have been all that the doctor hoped, for 1 have not only lost my craving for coffee and enjoy my good Postum just as well, but my heart trouble has ceased and I have no more dizzy spells in my head.

 Wherefore we learn with genuine satisfaction that the bishops urged with the approval of all others inter- ested in it's welfare that a collection be taken up in all the churches throughout the United States annually for ten years on the first Sunday of Advent or first convenient Sunday thereafter with a view of enhancing the dignity and enlarging the influence of this noble seat of learning.
