OIL Wells Under the pacific Ocean.

In Southern California near Santa Bar
bara along the slope OF the Pacific ocean
they have drilled oil wells under the
waves elong the beach Some Of the
wells are az much as a quarter of
mile out In the water and long slender
piers have been built out into the waves.
The oil Ia dipped out of shafts run Down
into the rocks beneath the sea and -
rich In asphalt.
None of the oil is visible the sur
face of the sea but 1t was found that
the oil strata ran to the water edge and
engineers figured out that under the
water there must be still more of the
valuable oil locked under the rocks. Bor-
Ing under the water they soon reached
the oil strata and now there are as many
as thirty oil producing wells which lie
entirely under the ocean.

yet In almost every instance these poor
unfortunates who have the hardihood to
Withstand the chilling blasts are on this
night of nights richly rewarded. for
many stray coins find their way into
their empty pockets, and as a result hot
coffee, more often than not, accompanies
the loaf of bread they receive.
Midnight is greeted at Grace Church
and it's vicinity much as 1t is further
down town, although Its close presently
to the East Side brings into Its gather

The more religiously inclined, OF course,
seek the churches, for nearly all the
churches hold midnight services or watch
meetings as they are called. In most Of
the Catholic sanctuaries midnight mass
Is celebrated and the music Is invariably
OF a high order. But for all this the
crowds IN the streets far outnumber the
religiously inclined, and as the hour of

II. o. Hadley, master Of New Hamp-
shire state grange. says that encourag-
ing reports are coming In from all sec
tions Of the state on grange work.
Large classes are being initiated. He
has appointed June 10 as children's
day and asks that every subordinate
grange meet at It's hall OF some other
suitable place to hold a meeting for tho
interest Of the children. And he sug-
gests that as far as possible the exer-
cises should be conducted by the chill
dren. The idea is a good one. The
State Grange association in that state
is planning 10 cooperate with the Con-
cord fair at its annual exhibition next
fall. Eight hundred dollars will be
divided among the winning contestants
in all departments, in addition to the
regular premiums. Premiums OF $40,
S25 and $40 viii be awarded to the
best collective grange exhibits Of farm
products and a like amount for the
best exhibit Of needle and fancy work.
The exhibit Of the New Hampshire
grange in this particular is commend
able.

Hotal Liz.


For ourselves, we can imagine no
worse punishment for persons who
value privacy and intimacy and home
liness and the peculiar arrangement or
even disarrangement OF their own be-
longings than to be condemned to pass
the term of their natural lives in n
great hotel. The marble halls, which
once seemed grand. would become a
nightmare Of grandiosity. The loneli-
ness Of a man among the unceasing
multitude OF strangers would become
intolerable. The graces Of the cookery.
as they once seemed. would become
familiar tricks and hollow imposture.
Life would become a circus without
tinsel. stage without limelight gin
gerbread without gilt.
We have known an old man who had
lived for many years in the same hotel,
and be had all the fads and crotchets
and selfshness Of the worst old fogy
in a club. Indeed. he had many more
and worse, for a clubman is restrained
by the opinion If not by the protests
Of his fellows, but an old resident in a
hotel can hardly be moved from insist
ing on more than his rights by the
combined criticism Of all the strangers
whose opinion is nothing to him.-Lon-
don Spectator

A State Master Passes Upon Some Inn
portant Matters.
A New York Pomona grange at a re-
cent meeting voted to get the opinion
Of the state master on several ques-
tions that arose for consideration at
that time. The questions with their
answers follow:
ID Is every member Of a grange obliged
TO vote at the election OF candidate7
I know Of no law obliging all men,
bers present to vote on applications
for membership. Yet / think It the
duty Of all present to do so unless a
good excuse IS offered.
"a Is It necessary that every gubordi-
nate grange submit its bylaws TO tia state
master FOR his approval7
1 should say II is proper 20 submit
the bylaws as adopted BY subordinate
oranges 10 the master Of the state
grange that he may see that they do
not conflict with those OF stats or ma.
tional grange and have his approval.
Cs) Can one member OF a grange proper.
~ vouch for another person who has not
the annual word and who might be :
stranger and thus allow such person q
obtain seat In a granger
There might be times That Il would
be proper and show due courtesy 10

other who might not have the annual
word or be able to give It.

oranges Of the state. II is particularly
active in cutting out the profits Of the

LafoadIO Hearn on BrownIns.

Iatcaoto r1carn on Browning
As for Browning and Meredith, I
regard the bulk Of the work of both as
doomed to vanish because Of its OBJ
scurity. revere Browning - even
though obscure. have been lecturing
upon him. revere Meredith still
more, and have lectured upon him
as the greatest philosophic poet Of the
nineteenth century-for is he not the
only one who has embodied complete
ethical conception OF the evolutional
philosophy in poetry? But how much
greater would both poets have been IL
they had written as clearly as Rossetti
or Tennyson?
There was a party Of French artists
who made what they called coffee pic
tures-a wonderful album. Every one
Of these artists emptied the dregs Of
his coffee upon a sheet of soft paper
after dinner and according to the sug-
gestions OF the shapes Of the stains
pictures were inspired. / think that
the obscurities Of Browning and of
Meredith are like those coffee stains
Tor the mystic minded They suggest
pictures ineffable, but these are de-
veloped only according to the imagina-
tive and artistic capacity Of the read

When is It proper and IN accordance
with general custom 70 adopt the minutes
OF grange meeting7
State Master Hill OF Pennsylvania
makes answer as follows: "The grange
minutes or record Of proceedings is to
be adopted at the close Of the meeting.
This is a natural and proper thing to
do, as the body that makes the min
utes Is the one that should correct and
adopt them. In the interval between
that and the next meeting they are
to be transcribed In the permanent
minute book. and are read at the open
ing OF the succeeding meeting. merely
to show that the secretary has tran
scribed them properly, TO refresh the
memory Of the members upon what
was done at the preceding meeting,
and 10 suggest any unfinished business
requiring action at that meeting"

Of FredOnia grange, which was the
first grange organized IN New York

master he said, 81 am chosen to pre-
side over the deliberations Of a body
whose destiny Is shrouded in the dark
and misty future. a destiny which no

How does a Buddhist fisherman jus

but only draws it out Of the water.
