A Charitable Enterprise,

Good Will farm is known by every
Patron in the state of Maine. 1t is
supported by benevolence and is a
home for about 1l5 boys and 80 girls
at the present time. The Patrons of
Maine erected what is known as
Grange cottage" on this farm, which
accommodates about fifteen girls.
Maine Patrons are raising a scholar
ship valued at $1,000, the proceeds of
which are to be applied to pay ex-
penses of the girls who occupy Grange
cottage" The money thus contributed
not only feeds, clothes and educates
one girl, but many, for as soon as one
leaves another takes her place. This
certainly is a most worthy charity and
one that can we'll engage the attention
and enlist the sympathy of Maine Pa
irons.

A Question and an Answer.

When u demit card becomes void what
must be done for the holder of the demit
to get into another grange? Is a person
who holds a demit prevented from join
ing a grange?
When a demit becomes void, as it
does after one year, the party seeking
admission to another grange would
have to join as new member. A
lapsed demit is worthless. The differ
ence between demit and withdra wal
card is that a demit sewers ones rela-
ton from the grange where he be-
longed, while Withdrawal card sewers
his relation from the Order; but a
lapsed demit and withdrawal card
are on the same plane, and in either
case a person seeking to join another
grange would have to join as a new
member.

The Sardtnians.

Sardinia was wild place in the mid
die of the last century. A traveller
says: THE men are clothed in goat
skins, one before and another behind,
without breeches, shoes or stockings.
and wooden or skin cap on the head.
The women have no other habiliments
than long wooden gown and a wooden
cap. The peasants always go armed
to defend themselves from one another,
so that travelling in the interior is ex-
tremely unsafe without an escort, and
1t is even dangerous for ships to send
their people on shore for water unless
they are well armed. In short. the
Sardes are the Malays of the Mediter-
ranean."

ELECTION OF U. S. SENATORS
A Matter In which the Grange Is Ac-
lively Interested.

There Is growing interest in the
matter of eecting United States sen
ators by popular vote A somewhat
novel feature of the recent Oregon
state election was the expression by
the voters of the state of their choice
for senator. The law of the state does
not permit election of senators by the
people, and this was simply test
vote. What Is most interesting Is the
fact that the candidate that would
have been elected by the people is not
the one which would have been desig-
mated by the legislature. Senator Gear
in is the present incumbent and was a
candidate in the recent test election,
but the majority of the popular vote
was in favor of his adversary. The
majority in the present legislature Is
of the same political faith as Sena-
tor Gcarn consequently his election
would have been assured but in view
of the fact that the expression of pop
ular opinion was against him he has
advised the Legislature to select his ad.
versary instead.
That the election of senators by the
people will soon be the law in many
states, If not all. is quite evident. Such
action must he secured by an amend
ment to the constitution. Already rep
resentatives of nineteen states have
requested congress to call Il convention
for the purpose of submitting a consti-
tutional amendment
1t Is well known by all members of
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry
that the popular election of senators
has been one of their aims for several
years. Each year the national master
has asked the state organization to
work to this end, and the creation of a
public sentiment in favor of popular
election of senators is due very large
ly to the quiet work Of the grange
throughout various states.

GRANGE STORE IN MAINE.
1t Advances Patrons Interests with
out Disturbing Others.

out Disturbing Others.
The Penobscot Pomona Grange COM
pany was recently organized and has a
capital of 100000 for the purpose Of
dealing in groceries, grains and feeds
and all sorts of farm supplies. 1t
also intends to buy and sell farm prod
uce on commission, and there is a pos
sbility that a cold storage plant will
be erected in Bangor by the same CON-
pany in the near future.
The movement which resulted in the
organization of the Perobscot Pomona
Grange company was started by some
of the leading Patrons of PenobScot
county who believed that greater CO.
operation among the farmers in the
vicinity of Bangor would be greatly to
their mutual advantage. Their aim
is to advance their own interests with
out disturbing others. With this idea
IN view they have adopted some gen
eral rules of trade, which seem entirely
plausible and businesslike. They pro-
pose to do a strictly cash business and
sell goods at the average retail mar
ket price, and any profits which accrue
above running expenses and interest
on capital are to be divided among the
their purchases at the store. a settle
ment being made at the end of every

PEPYS AND EVELYN.
Difference In Methods of These Two
Famous Diarists.

Pepys narrative is always dramatic
while Evelyn is historical, pathetic or
didactio. as the mood seizes him. Pepys
rives us the comedy of his time. as
Plautus and Terence gave us the com
edy of theirs. Evelyn, on the other
hand, has something of Livy in his
composition and not little of Cicero.
Compare, for instance, their treatment
of the great fire, and you may measure
the distance between them Thus it is
that Pepys' account begins: "Some of
our maids, sitting up late last night to
get things ready against our feast to-
day, Jane called us up about 3 in the
morning to tell us of Il great fire they
saw in the city. SO | rose and slipped
on my nightgown and went to her win
dow" And now turn to Evelyn and
see the temper in which he views the
destruction of the city. "The clouds
of smoke were dismal and reached up
on computation near fifty miles in
length" he writes the day after the
fire. "Thus | left 1t this afternoon
burning, resemblance of Sodom or
the last day. 1t forcibly called to my
mind that passage. Non enim hic ha-
bemus stabilem civitatem.' the ruins
resembling the picture Of Troy. Lon
don was, but it is no morer
Pepys sets the scene before you like
man; Evelyn reflects upon the TRACE
dy like a writer, ingenious in reference
and quick with allusion. We need not
discuss which is the better method, but
it may surely be said that the world
will produce another hundred Evelyns
before it fashions a fitting rival for
Pepys.-London Spectator.

ANCIENT BELLS.

Well known to the Egyptians Before

Bells were well known to the Egyp-
tians before the time of the Jewish ex-
odus In the description of Aaron's
sacerdotal robe mention is made of the
fact that upon the hem of the garment
there were bells Of gold alternating
with pomegranates of blue, of purple
and of scarlet: "a golden bell and

place before the Lord and when he
cometh out, that he die not
Hand bells were in common use all
over the ancient world. The earliest
use of bells in churches was for the
purpose of frightening away the evil
spirits which were believed to infest
earth and air, and the earliest curfew
was rung at nightfall to rid the neigh
borhood of the village or town and
church of demons. Most old churches
of Europe have a small door on the
north side, and at certain points In the
service this door was opened and
bell was rung to give notice to the dew

THE GRANGE PICNIC
Three Sources of Profit to he Derived
From These Summer Outings.

=
From These Summer Outings.
The grange picnic has come to occupy
an important place in the grange cal
endar, says State Master Fuller of New
York, and that we may get the full
benefit from this annual event it will
be well for us to remember that we
may reasonably expect three sources
of profit from picnic-first, the per-
sonal benefit that comes from relaxa
ton and rest from our strenuous farm
life; second, the educational and in
structive benefit Of the addresses and
lectures, and. third, the stimulating
effect to the Order from interesting
others in the work of the grange. In
order to get the first mentioned benefit
from picnic we must throw off for a
day all the care and worry about our
business and come to the picnic with
determination TO have good time. To
this end it is IL good idea to forget for
ever any little personal dislike we may
have for any other members of the
grange and get right up close to them
and see If we cannot discover some
lovable qualities in them. The amount
of educational benefit to be derived
from n picnic is something hard to de-
termine but the speaker will certainly
be better able to give you something
helpful and uplifting If he is met by
somebody duly appointed for that pur
pose and made to feel that he Is well
come and that you are glad he is there
He will give you a better address I'M
der such circumstances than he will If
he is left to browse around the woods
until time to make his speech and then
have to talk against a baseball game
q merry -go-round and a red lemonade
speeler All these things are proper
adjuncts to a picnic, but do not mix
we'll together The third and last bene-
fit to be expected from the picnic, the
attraction of those outside the gates to
join the grange, is certainly worth ca
tering to. Take some trouble to invite
those whom you think would make
good members of your grange to at
tend the picnic. and when they get
there see that they have a good time.
Think about these things when you are
arranging your picnic and see if they
do not add to the enjoyment and bene-
fit of your annual outing.

The AIexandrian Era.

The AleXandrian era is by some au-
thorities begun with the death and by
Others with the birth Of Alexander the
Great. For long time after the death
of Alexander this era was in common
use in Egypt and many of the coun-
tries which had been under his rule.

Natures MethndH

When one is sick there is usually
something in the stomach that nature
wants to throw up. When one has diar-
rhea nature is striving to remove of
Tending material from the system.
When one perspires profusely nature is
getting rid of blood poisons through the
skin. One should never attempt to
check any such effort without being
sure that its arrest will be beneficial.

THE GRANGE RECOGNIZED.
1t Was the Leader In Promoting Leg
isIation For Denntured Alcohol.

isIation For Denntured Alcohol.
The grange has the credit for the sue
cessful agitation by the state oranges
and many subordinate oranges of the
question of the removal of the internal
revenue tax from alcohol for industrial
purposes National Master Bachelor
says with regard to it that while in
fluence was exerted through other
agencies, not for a moment has it been
denied in any quarter that the grange
has been the leader in promoting this
legislation, and credit is due each Of
the 100000 members in the United
States who has interested himself or
herself in this very important matter
Especial credit is due the masters of
the various state oranges for' particu-
larry energetic work. The result in
this matter demonstrates the great
influence Of the grange when its mem
bers are united upon a worthy object
of legislation and go vigorously and
energetically about securing it.
That the grange is entitled to credit
for leadership in securing this legisla-
ton is indicated by the following reso
luton adopted by the National Associa
ton of Piano Manufacturers in session
in Washington, being one Of a series
Of resolutions unanimously adopted
favoring the passage of the free alco-
hOl bill:
Resolved. That we extend the sincere
thanks of this association to the national
grange, Patrons of Husbandry. to whose
intelligent and far reaching campaign OF
education the present favorable status Of
this subject in congress is very largely
due.
