Things Worth Thinking About.

One grange in Massachusetts has a
record Of having never, in three con-
secutive years, been late in opening its
meetings.
A grange is not doing it's best work
If 1t permits its meetings to be thirty
or even ten minutes late in opening.
Occasionally an organization may
be swamped by too much enthusiasm;
more die from too little Of it.
The grange is not so much an Or
gapization to make money for its men,
bers as 1t is to make true men and
women out Of its members.
The strongest grange is not necessar-
fly the one with the greatest member
ship. A few members who are in earn
est are worth more than a lot who
don't care very much.

Secretary Massachusetts State Grange

What n Hen Can Learn.

When a boy l had a fat, lively hen
so educated that at my bidding she
would lie OH her back and slide head
first down an inclined plane two or
three feet in length without the slight
est effort to turn upright or stop her
self, and at the bottom she would re-
main just as she landed until I touch
ed her or spoke to her unless interior
ed with by some other person or ami
NAL. Incredible as this may seem, it
is trick easily taught any gentle. af-

How to Make an Invisible Coin APP
pear without Moving 1t.
Here is a way in which you, tt o, may
join the ranks of those who ontrol
the magic power over the seen and the
unseen. 1t is, perhaps, q very hum
BILE experiment with which to intro
duce yourself into the wizards circle.
Yet 1t will demonstrate conclusively
that you have the same power Qn q
sense as the greatest practicians Of the
black art.
Procure an empty basin. Set 1t near
the edge Of a table. Place q coin in the
center OF the bottom. Then ask one Of
the spectators to first stand alongside
the basin and then to walk slowly
backward until the coin Is hidden from
his eye by the rim of the bowl.
Now direct the person to watch the
bowl intently. Make him admit he
sees nothing. Then modestly state
that you will cause the coin which he
knows is in the bottom of the basin,
though invisible to him, to become Wis.,
ible without his moving an inch or you
touching it.
He says it can't be done. You can
for pitcher of clear water and pour
It slowly into the basin until 1t is about
half full. When 1t settles the result
will be the coin will appear perfectly
visible to the eye of the surprised on
locker, and you will have proved your
power to make the invisible become
visible-in this case at least.

There was large attendance of Pa
irons of Husbandry from Chautauqua
and adjoining counties at Chautauqua
Lake on grange day. The exercises
were held at the new grange temple,
and the chief address was made by
o. ii. Kelley, the only living men,
Der OF the seven founders of the Order.
He reviewed the early history of the
grange, mentioning some of the diff
culties they had to contend with in
getting the organization started in
Washington. Fredonia grange, Chau-
tauqua county, N. Y, was the first duly
organized grange in the United States,
the date of it's organization being April
6, 1868. He then reviewed the work

A vel! known naturalist tells Of an
experience in the Hebrides last sum-
mer. 1--WE saw great numbers of cells
actually leaving the sea and ascending
a small clear stream which formed the
outlet to shallow loch," he writes.
'-They varied in size from mere
threads to specimens weighing two to
three pounds each. The migration con-
t1nued for a whole week, and one day
we succeeded in capturing half a score
about fifty yards away from high tide
mark. These were offered to high

a grimace, said, Och, SIR, I would

that the fixtures of their new liquor
emporium are perfection is expressing
it mildly. All the conveniences pos

for the accommodation of their guests
and those who have known the busl-

the past, know that the best in the

and soon thereafter will announce an
opening night that will welcome all

The Democratic newspapers in this dis
trict continue to make the false statement
that Colonel Slemp's majority two years
ago was only 2lS. His majority was over
900. The manipulated returns from Buch-
anan and Scott were never corrected, and
that is why the Democrats are claiming
the small majority for Slemp. 1t will be
remembered that Rhea's majority in Buch-
anan was only Is and was 80 certified by
the commissioners who certified the re-
turns from the precincts in that county.
But the certificate was changed after 1t
went into the hands Of the clerk Of Buch-
anan county, Rhea's majority being
changed to s25. This was never CORE cted.
There were changes made by some I'M
known scoundrel in the returns from sew
eral precincts In Scott county after they
reached the clerks Office. Tn. &c frauds
were never corrected, as the State Board
had no authority to go behind the returns,
that they knew to be false.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There lie
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of tie Eustschian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine csses out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
