The annual session Of the Connecticut
state grange was held in Hartford last
month. Worthy Master Patterson re-
ported that the past year had been one
of advancement in the Order. He COM
mented favorably on the excellent ritu-
alistic work being done by the oranges
throughout the state. There was an
unusual array of talent at the public
meeting held one afternoon during the
session. Among the speakers were the
governor and lieutenant governor Of
Connecticut, the governor of New
Hampshire, National Master Jones and
others.
Several important resolutions of a
public nature were adopted. One
against the free seed distribution as at
present conducted being of so general
interest, we reproduce it in full. 1t is
as follows:
Resolved, That the Connecticut state
grange in annual session convened records
its protest in emphatic and unqualified
terms against the entire system OF free
seed distribution by the government as at
present conducted, believing that the day
has passed when such distribution is of
any value to or is cared for by any con-
siderable number of farmers or gardeners
of this state. 1t Is a misuse OF the public
funds and serves no good purpose. If
any new and desirable seeds can be OBJ
tanned by the government not generally
known in all sections Of the country, such
distribution, along the lines of the original
purpose, Is desirable and should be con-
tinued, but free distribution OF common
seeds or SO called novelties In a promis-
cuous manner Is unwarranted, besides
loading the malls unnecessarily, to the
great detriment of other and more i'm
portant interests. We therefore respect
fully request our representatives in con-
gress to oppose further appropriations for
this purpose.
The woman suffrage resolution going
the rounds of the state oranges because
no doubt of its adoption by the ma
tional grange was reported upon I'M
favorably by the committee having it
in charge, but when submitted to
grange its report was overruled and
the resolution adopted. 1t pledges the
grange to support legislation to grant
political rights to women.
On the favorable report or the COM
mittee on education the grange passed
the resolution requesting school officers
and teachers to examine the system of
instruction in operation in Batavia, N.
Y, known as the Kennedy system.
On the favorable report Of the commit
tee on good of the Order, resolution
was passed urging the legislature to
so amend the act in relation to agri-
cultural fairs as to forbid state aid to
those at which gambling or illegal
liquor selling may be allowed.
Orson S. Wood of East Windsor was
elected worthy master, b. a. Peck of
Bristol overseer and l.. II. Healey of
North Woodstock lecturer. The new
master is sixty-four years Of age and
was a member of the house of repre-
sentatives two terms.

ADOPTING A BABY.

Methods of the Society In Charge OF
the Tots In New York.
1t isn't easy to get a baby for adop-
ton from the organization which has
charge Of them in New York. On re-
ceipt Of the application blank is sent
back containing some twenty printed
questions, to be filed out by the would
be parents and a request for three ref
erences. If the answers are satisfac-
tory, further blanks go to the persons
referred to, asking information on the
applicants character and circum-
stances, and reliable citizens of the
neighborhood are privately consulted.
Then the agent comes and inspects the
family. If the home seems good one,
baby as near the requirements as
possible is sought. There is even an
attempt to select suitable tempera-
ment-a placid baby for nervous wO-
man or one who is not bored by atten-
tons for the demonstrative. The visit
ing agent has to be something of a
psychologist. Every one calls for curly
hair of course, and blue eyes are much
in demand, but the new mother gener-
ally forgets all her specifications when
she is confronted with the living can
didate. The baby is taken to the home
by the agent, who leaves written di-
rections about food and care and comes
back twice year to note progress.
Frequent reports are encouraged, and
even after the child is legally adopted
the society tries to keep in touch. with
it. The motive for this is Of course
scientific as well as humane.-Juliet

FALL OF A GRIZZLY BEAR.

Kills His Trainer.

Kills His Trainer.
A distinct type of a zoo rogue Is the
beast that goes wrong owing to acct
dental temptation, like Shaggy, an ex.
ceedingly intelligent, tractable Rocky
mountain grizzly who reverted to saw
agery and turned man killer in twin
king owing to the unfortunate misstep
and fall of his trainer.
Shaggy was q big, handsome, gray
old fellow, with jungle thick coat
and numbering, awkward gait and a
funny twinkle that made him particu-
larly adaptable for his part Of clown In
remarkably trained group Of fourteen
bears. He had come under the hands
of his teacher when but helpless cub,
had never lost his liking for caresses
and, although the mightiest beast In
the collection, was least suspected OF
being dangerous. Once when striped
hyena hung to the ankle Of his friend
he had run to the rescue, had cut loose
right and left with his ponderous fore
paws and had bitten and torn and man
gled the ugly beast to death before he
could be beaten off. Among his accom-
plishments were that Of turning admi-
rably grotesque somersaults and the
more difficult feat of balancing him
self on his hind legs on three foot
wooden sphere.
Not scratch or scar had his train
er to show for the years Of work he
had put in with the bear, and yet,
without an instants warning, this
same beast attacked and injured his
master so that when rescued he was
semidemented and so dreadfully cut
and lacerated that the surgeons decid-
ed it useless to try to save his life.-
