THE GRANGE What it Has Done and What it is Doing. MORTIMER WHITEHEAD. The grange organization is now twenty years old. It is no longer a theory, an experiment or an untried plan. It has been weighed in the balance and not lound wanting. If there had been no good in it it never I could have lasted all these years. It ! is the largest and best organization farmers have ever had. Farmers’ clubs and other local societies do good, much good, but their influence is local and not wide spread. The grange covers the whole country. It is lo cal, slate and national in its work. A single grange has strength, but “strength united is stronger.” In Common with all other forward steps in the world’s history, the ear lier days of the grange were days ot struggle, of opposition, of misrepre sentation. Yes, even of persecution in some instances. Even farmers then opposed it, or treated it with silent contempt. “He came to his own and his own received him not.” Mistakes were in its earlier work. Its own members did not always understand it. It sometimes fell into improper hands, or was used for wrong purposes. Still the child grew and waxed strong. “Truth is mighty and will prevail.” The grange deserved success and success came. The grange grew because it was right, founded on the right, on justice and on truth. It has succeeded because thousands of weary, isolated and lonesome toilers have felt the need of a bond of union —the strength and support that comes from a union of strength ; that farmers must have an organi zation as well as all other classes and professions. And so. silently as the morning sun, did it arise, spreading its bright beamsof hope to the farm ers all over our land. It is now real Ij 7 stronger than ever before. More new granges were organized last year than for several years before. Maine added - 1,100 to its membership and 11 new granges; New Hampshire, 700 and 9 new granges; Massachusetts more thar. doubled its membership,and 10 new granges; Connecticut increased its members 150 per cent, and 10 new granges; Pennsylvania, 1,700 new members and 18 new granges; Texas, a large increase of member ship; California, Oregon?. 4od Idaho Territory, a good : *ncrsW •• It Ims come to stay and is now one of the permanent institutions of our coun try. As permanent as are the churches or the common schools. WHAT IS IT DOING ? In as few words as possible, the grange is teaching the farmer to “mind his own business,” as a pro ducer, as a man and as a citizen. In a single sentence the grange means education. It teaches the farmer that he has mind as well as muscle, brains as well as land, and that it pays him to cultivate the one as well as the other, for “knowledge is power.” it is teaching the farmer not only how to he a better farmer, how to get better returns for his labor, how to grow a crop ; but how to sell it. Not only how to earn his more/, but how to spend it to the best ad vantage. By organized effort and on business principles he knows the cost of goods and the value of his products ; and now to open up the channels of trade so as to reach the best markets. Grange banks, grange fire and life insurance companies, grange co-operative stores, creamer ies and schools organized and run by farmers as a part ot their busi ness have been in successful opera tion for years. Grain warehouses, grain elevators, freight lines, fruit growers and other “exchanges” and dozens of other organized business helps are springing up more and more in ail parts of the country. Through organization farmers are ; checking the greed of giant corpo rations ana monopolies. They have obtained the decisions of the United States supreme court on their side. The grange has made and is making the farmer a better c'tizen, freeing him front the party lash and causing him to think an act for himself and I cast an intelligent ballot. And it is doing this in all parties, and is so purifying and elevating all parties. It is securing for him better repre sentation in legislatures and in con gress, and getting laws passed in his interest. More than all other causes combined, the grange secured the passage of national and state olctnar garine laws. Has opposed and headed off the “tree raw material” tariff bill (all farmers’ products are raw materials, wool, hides, flux, hemp, tobacco, rice, sugar, etc). It headed off the bill started in the in terest of express companies to double the postage on packages by mail. It has secured agricultural experiment stations ana wants more. It has and is working to free the farmer from unfair and unequal taxat on. It is educating him on ail matters of political economy. The grange has and is making the farmer and his family more so cial It makes brighter and happier homes. It benefits its members mentally, morally, socially and fi nancially. Temperance is support ed, charity is a prominent charac teristic. It makes the farmer better to himself, better to his neighbor, j better to his country and better to his God. It has by none of its COMPARATIVE WORTH of BAKING POWDERS. ROYAL (Absolutely Pure) ■ GRANT’S (Alum Powder) *..EBSSXBHESKfISBHSSKiHUsSfZHSHHI RUM FOR IKS, when fresh..

It is a cream of tartar powder of a high degree or merit, and does not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious substances. E. G.

I find it entirely free from alum, terra alba, or any other injurious sub stance. Henry Morton, Ph.D., President of Stevens Institute of Technology.” “ I have analyzed a package of Royal Baking Powder. The materials of which It is composed are pure and wholesome. S. Dm Hayes, State Assayer, Maes.” The Royal Baking Powder received tho highest award over all competitors at the Vienna World's Exposition, 1873 ; at the Centennial, Philadelphia, 1876 ; at tho American Institute, New York, and at State Fairs throughout the country. No other article of human food lias ever received such high, emphatic, and uni versal endorsement from eminent chemists, physicians, scientists, and Boards of Health all over the world. Note—The above Diagram illustrates tho comparatlvo worth of various Baking Powders, as shown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler. A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of tho Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while It costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advant age of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Towder will convince any fair minded person of these facts. * While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength than other powders ranked below them, it is not to be taken as Indicat ing that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how high their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous. teachings ever made a man or wo man worse, but it has made hun dreds'ofthousands better. Its lessons all develop the good, the beautiful, the true. The half lias not been told of its good work, and it can and will do more in the future. Every farmer and bis family should become members, it will return dollars for every cent that it costs if its advan tages are improved. Remember it is farmers who are asking you, as a farmer, to unite with them and help them in the great work of protecting all our rights and interests. Most Excellent. J. J.

A window open a slight distance both top and bottom, and a chimney draught also open, are the only sure waysof keeping pure air in a sleeping room whose doors are closed. A simple remedy 7 for neuralgia is to apply grated horse radish pre pared, the same as for table use to the temple, when the face or head is affected, or to the wrist when the pain is in the arm or shoulder. When one’s clothing becomes damp from exposure to the weather, it is best to change it immediately, Rub the skin with a dry, hard towel until the body is a glow all over; but if it is impractical to change th3 garments, exercise moderately so that enough heat may generate in the system to dry the skin and clothing without a chill. Apples stewed and sweetened are pleasant to the taste, cooling, nour ishing and laxative, far superior in many cases to the abominal doses of salts and oils usually given in fever and other diseases Raw apples and dried apples stewed are better for constipation than liver Dills. To cure chapped hands take com mon starch and rub it into a fine smooth powder, put in a clean box, and every time the bands are re moved from dish water or hot suds, rinse them carefully iu clean water, and while they are damp, rub a pinch of starch over them covering the whole surface.

Kinard & Son, Merchants. HE LOST JUST A WEEK.. Remarkable Case of Suspended Anima tion, Burial and Return to Life. An extraordinary case of suspcn ded animation occurred in Boston recently. Four brothers named Stainlon, ono of them Koyson Stain ton, of Stetson’s “Mikado” company, lives in this city. Two weeks ago on Monday a fifth brother, who has lived in the west, died, it was sup posed, at the house of one of his brothers here, who was a physician. The supposed cause of death was consumption. Dr. Stainton, how ever, insisted that his brother was not dead, and though a funeral ser vice was held, which was largely at tended, he would not allow the body to be embalmed or buried. Other physicians were called in on several occasions, made careful ex aminations. and pronounced it a genuine case of death. The body was perfectly rigid and cold, and it was impossible to discover the faint est signs of life. There had been no general and marked weakening of the functions, however, and the absence of certain changes in the features after death led Dr. Stainton to hold the ground which he had taken. It was feared that his mind had been affected, and so great a pressure was brought to bear upon him by the other mem bers of the family that on Thursday following the death he consented to have tne body placed in a tomb, where he visited it every six hours. There was no change the first even ing, nor at midnight, when the lid was removed, but at 7 o'clock on Friday morning the doctor noticed that his brother had turned slightly ; although he thought the turning might have been the result of mus cular contraction. lie ordered the casket and its contents to be returned to his home. Three of the brothers protested, but the oldest took sides with the physician, and the two un dressed their brother and placed him in bed. This was on Friday afternoon. On Saturday the eye lids opened, but the eyes were fixed in a glassy stare. The body contin ued to grow warm through the day, and during the afternoon the heart began to beat slightly. A leading physician in the Boston hospitals who had been previously consulted in the ease, was summoned, and admitted that Dr. Slainton had been right, and there were evidently little life remaining. On Sunday morning the limbs relaxed and Stainton recovered consciousness. The first question he asked was : “What day of the week is it.” lie was told that it was Sunday, and be replied that it was Monday. He was allowed to think as he pleased and hiseonversation since the occur rence shows that his mind took up the train of events as they were left on the Monday* when it was thought that he died. He has been informed of nothing which has happened since then, and had so far recovered last Thursday that he was sitting up dressed and m good spirits. Pryor’s Pile Ointment.
