( H. R Ki«s». Secret ;»r\ < 112 ' I The tannery of the Elk Tanning Company at Manhattan, Tioga coun ty, has received a trial order of 10 cars of bark direct from Africa. This bark is imported into this country in sacks weighing about pounds each and is mixed with hem lock hark and used for tanning pur poses. Thos" who have such a dread of appendicitis may receive comfort from the fact that by ttie time they get the disease a remedy of a German physician may he on the market. Tlie remedy is a Gefinan solution which, it is claimed, will cure troubles of the appendix in short or der. The solution is known as "col longol" and if it will do what is promised for it, one of the greatest discoveries of medical science will be recognized. It will rob appendicitis of its terror—an operation under the surgeon's knife. Envy is one of the meanest traits of human character. It doesn't matter in what walk of life you find it—in the church or in the home, in politics or in business, in the affairs of the community, the state or the nation, everywhere it exerts a blighting influence. It robs the home of its happiness, cre ates discord in the church, drags polities and business into the mire, and is the eneuiy of progress and advancement in the town or city.

The largest gathering in the history of the state grange is anticipated. Election of offi cers will take place this year. The number of voting delegates will be S2ti. The grange has just completed a prosperous year in the way of strength ening the granges which have already been instituted. It is now the largest Order of the state and one of the most powerful, fiui-iug the past year many new grauges have beeu instituted, but the hard work of State Master Cardner and his corps of officers has been iu strengthening the grauges already formed. In this work they have been most successful. From a total mem bership of a little rising 45,000 last year, when the state grange met iu I.ewlston, it lias now increased to ris ing 50,000, which is fully up to the gain in past years. The thirty-fourth annual sessiou of the Vermont state grange will be held iu Montpelier. commencing Tuesday, Dec. 12. at 11 a. in. It is expected there will be a banquet in the evening and that the subordinate degrees will tie exemplified Wednesday evening. Ida .lenness Moulton. impersonator and musical entertainer, of Boston, has been engaged for the session. Tilt' (irnnffr In UiiomluK. The granges are booming on all sides. Large classes of candidates are being initiated. Exercises are being made attractive. Business and pleasure are combined in the meeting. The Patrons have the consciousness of belonging to an order that commands the respectful attention of the nation. They begin to understand the immense power that could be exerted by a farmer organiza tion that, embracing the majority of tin* farm population and rising above all lucre sectional'sui and partisanship, w >iild demand of the national and stale gov erniuents the same rights and privileges for the soil tillers that are given without question to other citizens. Keep the grange growing and moving. It is already a power iu the land, and it may be and will be made infinitely more powerful than it now is.--New York Farmer. «tvho«,l» of AKrlcallurr, At a meeting of the St. Lawrence county Pomona grange at Norwood, N. j V., educational matters were discussed.
