GRANGE BUSINESS

GRANGE BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS
The State Grange has made trade
arrangements with various business
houses in different parts Of the State
where members can purchase al.
most anything they want in the
house, or on the farm at reduced
prices. Those who wish tc avail
themselves of the oppoi tu,nity thu:
offered C a Il save snug sum OF
their purchases in the line of gro,
ceries, hardware, implements, fertil-
izers, binder-twine, dry goods
shoes, notions, clothing, &c. Mem
bers are not required to deal with
these houses. While we can, il
most cases, effect a considerable
saving on our purchases, yet we dc
not by any means claim this feature
to be the principal object of thu
Grange. This branch of the work
however, is we'll worthy of a full
and careful consideration by ou
membership when wishing to make
purchases.

Even though farmer raise his own horse
feed it is worth money, and if he can accom-.
plish his work with saving Of twenty-five
per cent in horse feed it is the easiest money
he makes. 1t has been proven by scientific
tests that the "LeRoy PIows" are lighter
draft than others. This means saving Of
horse feed. They are easy to hold, thus
they are man savers, they ''turn the earth"
just right, and good crops follow. Surely it
is TO your interest to use the improved and

Hunting Ashes of John Paul Jones.

Ambassador Porter has some
reason to believe that he at last has
discovered the remains of John Paul
Jones. Ever since he has been in
Paris, Mr.. Porter ably seconded by
Arthur Belly Blanchard. secretary
of the embassy, has been following
every clue that has fallen i'll his
way in the effort to locate the re-
mains of this peerless American
sailor.
Not long ago Mr.. Porter came
into possession of some information
which warranted at least the hope
that the sailors skeleton now re-
poses beneath the foundations, or
within the cellar of some of the
dilapidated old fats which stand on
the ground once occupied by the
cemetery where the body was sup
posed to have been buried. Ifthese
clues are to be followed, it will be
necessary to demolish anywhere
from one to half dozen buildings.
1t has been suggested that even
if the remains were found in the
work of excavation it would not be
possible to identify them after this
lapse Of time as those of John Paul
Jones.
Mr.. Porter, however, thinks
otherwise, pointing out that the
American sailor was buried in a
lead coffin, a very unusual means of
ihterment at that date, and one
likely to preserve the body in fair
condition for an indefinite period of
time.

Urges New Hospital Building.

Representative X. Scott Ammer-
man, of Montour county, appeared
before the Appropriations Commit
tee of the State legislature and ask
ed that the sum Of S25I,45O be ap-
propriated for new hospital for the
insane at Danville. The present
hospital in that town, declared Mr..
zimmerman, is in a deplorable con-
dition and should be razed to make
way for a new and modern build
ing.
In outliring conditions at DAN
vile, Mr.. zimmerman said that eco
out of 1900 patients in the hospital
for the insane are compelled to use
the corridors for lack of accommo-
dations. The hospital, he said, has
accommodation for but 500 patients.
Many of these, said Mr.. Ammer-
man, are compelled to sleep in parts
of the building under which are
worn-out boilers which may ex-
plode at any time. Homicide patti
ents, he stated. are confined in
small rooms, the building is not
equipped with electric light, and
watchmen and other employees use
torches in the course of their work.
One bath must do service for $50
patients, said Mr.. zimmerman. The
sanitation, he continued, is i'll keep
ing with many other defects out
lined in his address.

Here's a hint to BARRIERS.

Here's a hint to BARRIERS. The
PAiladeLbhia Record quotes gsrru-
lous barber as saying: Lead pipe
will keep your razor sharp. Get a
short piece of smallest, softest lead
pipe your plumber has in stock and
keep it handy when you are strop-
ping razor. The scheme is to rub
the s,rop with the pipe. Apply the
pipe just as you would strop the ra-
zor, to the unfinished side of the lea
ther. Strop your razor on that side,
wind up with a few passes on the
finished side of the strop and you
will have a frst-class edge on the
tool. l never took the trouble to
get scientific explanation o the
virtues of a lead pipe as an aid to
whetting, but it is all to the good
in that respect"

A Prodigy of Ignorance.

Whenever any criticism is made
of the management of Our public
schools, or any suggestion of in
efficiency on the part Of their in
structors, the latter are always
prompt in resenting it.
1t is we'll known fact that less
attention is given to the matter of
our public schools by the people
generally than to any other enter
prise which is maintained at the
public expense 1t is equally well
known, especially to those who are
fitted by education to form inteli.
gent judgment on the subject, that
much of what is too frequently
called instruction i'll many of our
public schools is nothing more nor
less than what is generally known
as an education fad.
Criticism of modern methods of
instruction is too often justified by
facts. Agitation agains these
methods" is going on with great
fury in New York City at the pres
ept time. One father declares that
his boy is now ready to be gradu-
ated, yet he does not know the name
of single general who participated
in the Civil war, the time or place of
a single battle in either the Civil or
Revolutionary war, the capitals OF
FIVE states in the union, the name
of single member of the presi-
dent cabinet, the route of single
trunk line whose terminus is in
New York, Hoboken or Jersey
City, the names of the FIVE boroughs
which constitute the city of Greater
New York, the location Of the capi'
tai of the state or the name of the
present governor or how to reach
Hoboken by ferry. Yet this pro-

purchasable vote holds the balance
of power. If this is SO and there is
no remedy, it does not require a
prophet to foresee the future Of the

not believe it, it must not necessarily
remain so. The honest, intelligent
people are largely in the majority.
