The Discoverer of Hypnotisnn.

We owe our earliest knowledge of
hypnotism to those wise men Of the
east, the llindoos, to whom we owe
our language, our religion, our
philosophy and our oriental rugs as
well as cholera and the opium habit.
Who first in that land of dreams
and dirt made use of hypnotic
passes to put his fellow men into in
voluntary sleep is as obscure a per-
sonage in history as the discoverer
of the oyster and as unimportant,
for, while we enjoy all the material
advantages of the discoveries of
these unknown heroes of invention,
we are not obliged to consider the
claims of envious contestants every
year.

RURAL ORANGES.
Located In Small Villages, They Ac-
cOmpIish 8est Results.


cOmpIish Best Results.
| am coming to feel confident says
a writer in the Rural New Yorker,
that the grange, when located in pure
y rural sections, away from the infiu-
ence even of small towns, is perform
ing certain function generally under
taken and expected of the church. Our
own local grange has very liberal
flow of young blood. 1t is the custom
or fashion, as one sees fit to call it,
both for the children to look forward to
the requisite age, fourteen, and for par
them inside the gates. Here they are
held to Il dignified respect and consid-
Grafton for the very fundamentals that
underlie good gOvernment-viz, respect
for the opinions of others, full and free
discussion for the questions that arise
and quietly to abide a majority deci-
sion. Here are discussed questions that
affect almost every phase of country
and often of city life, with that natu-
rally unbiased frame of mind born of
country life. When one can count
twenty out of an attendance of eighty
who are under age, which was the
case at the last meeting, it surely au
gurs for a Christian uplift in that COM
munity. In judging ethical and moral
questions, much depends upon our
point Of view. Would it be better if
the church could do this same work?
Yes, perhaps, but better done through
the grange than not at all. L have not
so much to say when the meeting place
is located in town. My observation
leads me to say that the grange is not
living up to it's full usefulness when
the hall is located in a village. Here
may be found other attractions, with
out saying they are good or bad, that
keep these young people away, saying
nothing about the older ones. | would,
if possible when locating oranges fix
their meeting place outside the towns.
| know the busy business farmer feels
that he can attend grange and do the
town shopping on the same day. He
succeeds in doing the shopping, and
the young people keep away. The small
center where the grange is the full
power, not Influenced by other bust
ness, is the place to locate oranges and
build halls.

The Labor Problem.

There is a growing sentiment in the
grange which demands that it bring to
its members assistance in new lines
Many believe that the time has come
when the grange can become world
power" that it should expand it's line
of work. The inquiry often comes to
me, "What is the grange doing to help
us to meet the labor question:" While
our Order has done much to make farm
labor attractive, yet in a practical and
direct way it has accomplished but lit
tie. l would recommend to each grange
that it consider this question most care
fully that some remedy for the diff

GRANGE LIFE INSURANCE.

A Subject That Demands COnsidera-
ton by the National Grange.
There is now il the hands of a COM
mittee of the national grange a reso-
luton relative to grange life insurance
that many hope to see definite and ia
vorable action upon at the meeting of
the national body this fall. Recent dis
closures concerning the life insurance
companies suggest that right now is q
good time to start movement to es-
tablish life insurance companies by
oranges and for grangers. Can it be
done? A few years ago, remarks an
agricultural Journal when the propo-
sition to start grange fire insurance
companies was made, the question was
Can it be done" Many said mo"
Many others were doubtful. A few
said Eyes" The regular fire insurance
company managers smiled in derision.
The few believers went ahead and
tried it. The result is success. The
grange insurance on farm property
now amounts to a great total, and the
grange insurance is the best in the
country, cheap, safe, reliable and salts
factory Now, why cannot farmers in
sure one another's lives as successfully
as they are insuring one another's
buildings and other property? The
same direct business methods that
make farm fire insurance the best and
cheapest known would operate to
make life insurance just as good and
as cheap. Why cannot the farmers in
sure life as well as property?
