A WISE POSITION.
New York State Grange Refused to In

New York State Grange Refused to In
dorse Specific Legislative Measures.
The thirty fourth session of the New
Iork state grange was marked by one
important step in advance that distin-
gushed it from any former meetings.
This was the determination not to in
dorse any specific legislative bill by
name. The past experience Of the state
grange has taught us that it is dan
gerous to indcrSc u bill by name and
then allow it to be amended out of all
semblance to the measure which the
grange Endorsed. This very thing has
happened on many former occasions.
and this year the state grange decided
at the outset to indorSe no specific bill
by name, but instead to enunciate the
principles which it desired enacted into
legislation and leave the lawmakers to
frame it into law.
The question Of school supervision
occupied much of the time and attcn-
ton of the delegates at Last three
committees having resolutions bearing
on this subject. As finally disposed OF
the state grange placed itself on rec
ord as favoring a better supervision of
schools and an educational qualification
for school commissioners. but did not
indorse the Page bill, which abolishes
the office of school commissioner and
creates a new officer to be known as
school superintendent at an increased
nIoVv haN Of tls,
this question was conservative and, we
believe, reflects the sentiment Of the
best class Of farmers everywhere.

Japanese lacquer.

Japanese lacquer is the most beau
tiful material of the kind in the
world, and it has recently been the
subject of special study by two
chemists, Messrs. A. Tschirch and B.
Stevens, whose results are published
in the Archiven der Pharmazie. The
special qualities of Japanese lacquer
are its brilliance, its great hardness
and toughness, and its resistance to.
acids, alcohol and boiling water. It
is made of the gum of the Rhus YER
nicifera, which grows and is cultivated
in China as well as in Japan, and
may be seen as an ornamental tree in
Europe. The best gum comes from
the foot Of the tree in the hottest
weather Of summer. The art of bleed
ing the trees has been carefully cult

and cooling the lacquer. Finely pull

Tool. Cheap at Junk Shops.


In every large city viii be found
n,aces where secondhand or junk
tools are sold. Tools of all descrip-
lions. adapted to every branch OF
mechanics, can be bought at prices
ranging from one cent up.
A good-sized paint brush brings two
cents. a carpenters hammer nve
cents. pick or shovel rs cents. rip
saw ten cents, and SO on. According
to Popular Mechanics. the average
price is less than one-tenth what the
new article would cost at hardware
store. and the tool is often just as use
| full as new one.
Some of the stun IN the motley col

they are attached to spring, which
is coiled on the bolt in recess be-
tween the members. The extent to,
which the hooks may be opened is
limited by pin on one member
which engages a slot in the other.
One of the principal advantages Of
the invention is that the hook is free
from any projecting parts, which are
liable to catch on brush, or the like,
in logging operations. Another i'm
portant feature of the invention is
that the ends of the shackle are on
the outside of the hook, and thus do
not interfere with the cable.
