A Bankers Generosity.


One day Humboldt was dining with
Mendelssohn, the banker, and, an UNI
usual thing for him, was very silent.
His host, remarlSing it, observed to
Humboldt that he was sure he must
be i'll.
mo-" said Humboldt ssbut | am in
great trouble. Only ten minutes be-
fore leaving my apartment to come
here | received from my landlord a
note informing me that he had sold the
house in which l reside and that
must move. The very thought drives
me to despair | really cannot bear to
move again
Mendelssohn gradually led Humboldt
into conversation, during which he
found time to write a note and receive
an answer to it. He then took Hum
boIdt aside and said: by this note l
learn that l am now the owner of the
house in which you reside The condi-
ton, however, upon which have be-
come its possessor is that You continue
to occupy your apartment in it as long
as you live

Wanted : Sarqain.

One day a small Cincinnati boy came
to a halt before a sign over desk In
the Office of the express company. 1t
gave the rate for money orders. and
after studying it for few minutes he
walked up to the cashier and said bold
ly:
Il want a money order
How large a one, my boy?" the
clerk inquired benignantIy
well, let's see pondered the little
fellow. "The rate for ten dollar or
der is 8 cents, isn't it?"
Eyes; that's right"
We'll, want a drum and pair of
roller skates and new straw hat and
some candy. Ten dollars will be
enough"
Then he fished through his pockets
and triumphantly placed nickel and
three coppers before the astonished
clerk. 1t took ten minutes to convince
the youngster that nothing less than
$1008 could buy a money order for
$10-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

An Opium Farm.

Not far from Macao, at the mouth Of
the Canton river, China, is an opium
farm Standing In courtyard is
the great wooden building devoted TO
opium manufactures, and in its vesti-
b les are heaps Of brown balls, not M
like cocoanuts. Two coolies, seated
cut them open and remove the blacls,
jamlike substance they contain tins
compressed poppy. The outer covering
is a thick layer of dried IeaTes iR
side the building the whole 9'ace IS
full of smoke. arising from a hundred
charcoal fires in open earthenvage
sschattis," placed in a row around the
walls. Over each fire rests a shallow
brass pan in which bubbles a mixture
of poppy and water. This mixture is
strained through paper and passes on
to be more carefully boiled in the next
room, where the process is exactly
similar From there it goes to another
room, where the sirup Is reduced to the
consistency of treaele over slow fires.
In another building the opium is pack
ed in tiny cans and placed in cases and
sealed with the government seal.

A Chapel on a BRIDGE.

At st. Ives, the little old Hunting
donshire town in which Oliver Crom-
well lived for several years, there is a
bridge spanning the lazily flowing
Ouse, and on this bridge Is quaint
building which at one time did duty as
d chapel. The structure has been in
existence for something like 500 years
and was, according to local historians,
originally employed as a beacon light
house After that it was turned for a
time into a hostel and eventually be-
came an ordinary dwelling house
Some of the rooms in this curious
building are below the level of the
water in the river.

The Greatest Need of the GRANGE.

What is the greatest need of the
grange and grange work today and
how shall it be supplied? we asked a
prominent Patron recently. He re-
piled:
The greatest need of the grange to-
day is broader conception by its
leaders of just what influence the
grange exerts in public affairs, that
they may set the pace that the rank
and file can and will follow. It has
been truly said that McKinley's sue
cess as a leader of men lay in his
habit of keeping an ear to the ground
so as to catch the first Indication of
the sentiment of the people and then
turning this knowledge to use in lead
ing public sentiment. The example of
Mckinley, followed closely will great
~ enhance the influence of the grange
in public affairs"

Revised Constitution and Bylaws of
New York State Grange.

New York state Grange.
The constitution and bylaws of the
New York state grange have been re
yised and brought down to date. The
changes made are few, but there are
two or three of considerable impor-
lance. One refers to members who
have become unaffiliated for any reason
except expulsion. They may be adj
mitted to membership in any grange in
whose jurisdiction they reside, ON APP
plication, accompanied by proofs of
previous membership, by a majority
vote of the grange and the payment of
such fee, not less than $120 for men
and 80 cents for women, as may be
prescribed by the grange. Such appli-
cation and proofs shall be referred to
committee which shall report at a
subsequent meeting, and the vote shall
be taken by paper ballot.
Another paragraph refers to the pro-
hibition of the selling of liquor by any
Patron and is as follows. when any
Patron shall engage in the selling of
spirituous liquors as a beverage, either
wholesale or retail, such Patron shall
be dropped from the roll of member
ship without notice The secretary
shall notify the state secretary, who
shall notify each subordinate grange
in the state where such offending
patron resides"

A Redundant Word.

The Utica On. " Press says: The
Press never uses the word county In
giving the name Of Pomona grange.
1t Is the usual custom to write it JEFF
ferson county Pomona grange. but the
Press puts 1t Jefferson Pomona grange
The reason is that the word county is
superfuous. The Pomona grange has
jurisdiction over all the subordinate
oranges where 1t il located. and no 9th
or. Its territory is identical with the
county lines and there IS therefore no
necessity for the use Of two words
