5. The Grange is not a political or
party organization. No Grange may
discusss partisan questions, call polit
ical conventions nor even discuss the
merits of candidates in their meet
ings. Yet we teach the principles I'M
derlying all true politics and, which,
if carried out, will tend to purify the
whole political atmosphere of our
country. For we seek the greatest
good to the greatest number 1t is
the duty of every patron to take an
active interest in the politics of his
country, to see that none but clean,
faithful and competent men be elected
to public office.
6. Ours being peculiarly farmers
organization we can not admit all to
our ranks. We do not oppose those
who are engaged in other pursuits,
but We heartily invite them to give
us all the assistance in their power
that we may eventually remove from
our midst all tyranny and corruption
7. We aim to relieve all suffering
and oppression, and as means to
that end we invite woman to an equal
position with man and urge her to do
all in her power to better her station

How to Preserve Cut Flowers.

A florist of many years. experience
gives the following recipe for presery-
Ing bouquets, says the Chicago News:
when you receive a bouquet sprinkle
1t lightly with fresh water; then put It
into a vessel containing some soap
suds, which nourish the roots and keep
the flowers as bright as new. Take a
bouquet out Of the suds every morning
and lay it sidewise in fresh water, the
stock entering first into the water,
Keep 1t there a minute or two, then
take it out and sprinkle the flowers
lightly with pure water. Replace the
bouquet in the soapsuds, and the flow
ers will bloom as fresh as when first
gathered. The soapsuds need to be
changed every third day. By observ-
Ing these rules bouquet can be kent
bright and beautiful for at least a
month and will last still longer In a
very passable State."

Lights Up the Stomach.

A wonderful substance named wis
muth" is now employed by Berlin doc
tors to light up human stomachs. Wis
muth is introduced into the stomach
with the ordinary food, and when
enough Of it has been consumed the
stomach is flooded by sea Of light.
Professor Holzknecht, radiology ex-
pert Of the Vienna university, has con-
Quoted some highly interesting expert
ments with wismuth before the med
zeal society. He showed, above all,
that 20 per cent Of all human stomachs
are not constructed in sac form, but
in the form of pipe or leather bottle.
The lighting up of the stomach the lee
turer regards as great advance in the
treatment Of stomach diseases. The
new method is particularly of value in
the treatment of cancer of the stomach.

CULTURE OF FERNS.

how to Water, Fertilixe and Pot
Them.
Few need to be told of the infinite
variety and beauty of form and exqli-
site shades and tints which are to be
found in the fern class Of plants. One
cannot here go into details as to the
management Of each species. but for
tunately the chief points in fern cul-
ture do not differ materially, says the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
One Of the essentials is good supply
Of water. and to enable the soil to with
stand the effects Of frequent watering
without being turned sour all pots or
other receptacles should be exception
ally we'll drained and the soil itself
made extremely porous.
A frequent cause Of disaster to ferns
of delicate root action is OverpOtting
and using too deep body Of soil in the
pots. A good depth of soil may be suit
able for some of the strong growing
pterises. but for delicate adiantums
and all ferns that spread themselves by
creeping, as rhizomes, it is especially
wrong to pot or plant in big body of
soil, for with these the soil is merely q
medium through which the necessary
moisture is conducted to the plants.
and II too much is used it Is soon rem
dered unfit to perform its work, and
the roots die out.
All potting should be carried out in
spring just as the new fronds of the
year are about to appear. In splitting
plants be careful that each division ia
well provided with roots and crown, so
that they will soon make q good and
shapely plant
The soil used in pOtting may be half
fibrous loan, broken up as roughly as
can be used, with leaf mold. earth and
sand in equal proportions. The whole
should be incorporated with finely bro
ken brick or charcoal.
Ferns may be raised from spores, the
operation being a somewhat delicate
one. Shallow pans should be filed
with rocks. and on these should be
placed few thin layers of lumpy soil.
PreSS the SOIL Tat, watering well, and
then place over the surface a few
frOnds which are we'll supplied with
ripe brown spores. The pan should be
placed in damp and shady corner
and covered with a sheet of glass.
This may be watered by partly miners
Ing the pan, taking care not to let the
water rise to the level Of the surface.
Rhizomatous ferns may be increased
by securing a lump of soil to the
rhizome near the end and severing this
portion when a root has formed
In spring fertilize ferns at least once
a week with Zone NEAL the washings
Of bird cage is also good for them.
They should be bathed occasionally in
tepid water. They require but little
sunlight. Treated in this way the
ferns will grow majestically.

BIGOTED ATTACK UPON FATHER

Nobody in Walla Walla who knows
anything of Father Peter York of Oak
land, California. gives any credence to
the charge made against him by the
relief committee at Oakland to the eff
feet that he has made improper use of
funds intrusted to his care for the re-

Honey is one Of the most nutritious

PITIFUL BOXER FIASCO.

Never was there more complete
fiasco than the Boxer attack upon En-
gineer Thomson. Last evenings little
dodger announced as a positive fact
that the council in executive session
the night before had agreed that if
he (Thomson) did not resign, he would
be dismissed from participating further
in the pipe line construction, provid-
ing that the engineers contract was
such that this course of action could be
taken without endangering the city in
grave legal complications"
posely misled the little dodger as to
what occurred at the executive session

have been led into making a statement
so absolutely without foundation The

his accusers and begging for mercy. In

citizen who attended last nights coun-

In order to save some little SEM

the contract was read in open coun-

The crowd that assembled at the
council chamber last night to witness
the downfall of Engineer Thomson
was doomed to disappointment. The
collapse of the Boxer program was so
complete that it was almost pitiful
Thomson turned the tables on the
Katzenjammer kids of the council and
they were utterly at his mercy. And
all this was so different from the de-
nouement predicted by the little even

ulary yesterday evening in heaping
abuse upon Thomson and picturing his
utter defeat and discontinue at the
hands of the triumphant Boxers. "Oh,
What a fall was there my country

fell, but his accusers.
