New Hampshire, Massachusetts and this year New York are conducting a system of quarterly reports from sub ordinate arrange lecturers to the state lecturer relative to the work of the lecture hour. The total Is little less than amazing. Take the New Hamp shire report, t'or instance, which is for i nine months only, emlins Oct. 1, 1000. During the nine months there were giv en in various granges of the state the following: Selections of vocal music, 4,292; se lections of lustra mental music, 3,154; readings and recitations, 7,208; essays, 1,035; addresses, 810; dramas, 74; /areos, ii.Vi; tableaux, 435; discussions, 1,780; number of speakers ou discus . slons, 10,335; attendance during "pro grammes, 134.7.54. Three questions were assigned for si multaneous discussion. In February 217 granges considered the teaching of ualiire studies in our common schools and 803 poi'xoris spoke upon this sub ject before 5,421 people. In May the question whether the state should pay for the damage done by game animals protected by law was raised. Nine hundred and two speaL'P.rs addressed 4,020 people on this matter. Co-operation In New Jersey. We slnill have to look to New Jersey to find grange co-operation in purchas ing farm sup]dies most generally prac ticed. Here are a few figures showing the value of such purchases for twelve months in several granges: Viuelaud, S4B,INiO; l'rlesburg. $3,200; Somerset, $5,000; Medford, $7,000 or $8,000; Hope. $2,700; Morristowu, $43,000; lUverside, $14,335; Columbus, $4,500; Muilica Hill, $7,000; Pioneer, $3,500; Mercer, SO,<X)O. liile financial bene fits accruing from grange membership are perfectly legitimate, yet it is not grange practice to emphasize these benefits or hold them out as induce ments to prospective members.

EXPERIENCES OF THE COMMISSION I ON THE MEXICAN FRONTIER. i Difficult and Unngorous Work iu I lis j nil Mountains- A Furious Sand- j ' >lorm-Th« KfiVtcU of Mirage—City He- j hulve* Into a Uhu of liowl<t»rs. ' I Although the boundary line between , 1 the United States and Mexico was d - , tlned over half a century ago by the 1 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, after the 'Mexican War, there has seldom been a ; tlme since then when the precise loea ! tion of this international limit has not j given cause for vigorous disputes and : often bloody border warfare between jt.be Mexican and American settlers near tho line. After the treaty of 1853 a survey was made of the line, to effect some neces sary changes. Monuments wore put up MEXICAN HOCNIIAUY MONUMENT. ! along the arbitrary portion of the ; boundary west of t+ie Rio Grande, but most of these landmarks were simply | rude piles of stone, and the ease with : which they could be destroyed or re moved was soon discovered by the nearby settlers, never loath to seize an opportunity for a quarrel with their neighbors on the other side of the in ternational fence. Finally, in 1882, owing to continual boundary quarrels, a convention to settle them was ar ranged between the two countries. Hut on account of various delays it was not until November, 1891, that members of the International Boundary Commission were at last appointed. , By the month of June, 1894, all work along the entire line, both surveying I and monument-erecting, was finished. ] Two hundred and fifty-eight monu- i ments, some of stone, and some of iron, ] had been placed along the seven hun- I died miles of boundary west of the Bio : Urande. The intervals between them ! were varied to suit the requirements j of the different religions, but the dis- | tances averaged about two and three- j quarter miles between each two. Some of the experiences of the mem- 1 bers of the survy are well worth a more j extended description than can be given I here. The mountainous region for j many miles about Nogales, Ariz., is one ' of the roughest and most arid on the I continent. In this neighborhood was seen for the first time the strange and ungainly giant cactus, called the "su- I by the Mexicans. Its fruit, j when ripe, is used as food by the Pa- j pago Indians of the region, who eat it j flesh, dried and preserved, and make 1 from it, besides, a slightly intoxicating ! drink. In the broad valley called the j Moreno Flat, weirt of the Balioquivari Mountains and about fifty-five miles west of Nogales, a frightful standstorm was encountered on July 3, 1893. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a j dense, dark-brown cloud was seen ris i ing in the south. The brilliant sun was | j soon overcast, and in a few moments j after the cloud was first observed the ; stoim broke iu all its fury. In ten or j lirteen minutes it was as black as mid- i night; the atmosphere was filled with ! loose soil of the valley to a height of I several hundred feet; respiratien be- I came almost impossible, and it was on- } ly by breathing through a handkerchief i held in front of the mouth that suffo- j cation was avoided. In half an hour i the wind began to subside, the darkness j diminished, and in a little more than i two hours the setting sun shone faintly j through the dust particles that still filled the air. Wonderful mirages were seen while crossing the lonely deserts. Just be fore sunrise craggy peaks would ap pear, capped by similar inverted peaks, which would gradually flatten out into strange forms. Once a city, with all j its buildings, appeared in a valley to the noichward, but the morning sun resolved it into a mass of large bowl- > ders near the base of a mountain. At j another time, on the bare Yuma Desert, j the reconnoissance party seemed to be in a level depression, surrounded on I every side by a vertical wall of rock, 1 fifty to one hundred feet high, which moved with them as they journeyed toward the river, but lessened in height until It finally vanished. The com- I monest deception was seen in the heat of the day. when beautiful lakes, fring ed with into, lay apparently only a. few hundred yards away. The details were so pe-fe t oven to the ". Hr 'tlons iu the wate., liiut the party did not w r.der that thii" > ;ravelers were of ten lured from t.. :.ud to procure this v iter, which never could he reached. The mirage distortion of the size and form of animal.-; w..s also remarkable. 11- one case a he id of wild horses was mistaken 112 ; a herd of antelope and followed foi . ..'vers.l miles before the mistake war covered. At times a ji rk-rabbit would loom up on the de- SiTt with the apparent size of a cow, v :i le occaslr' ?' y the legs of animals would be so c®D!>'Uy lengthened as to make them appear mounted upon stilts.

The guiding principles are as fol i lows: If the tongue Is long It is an in- 1 dication of 'rankness; if it is short, of dissimulation; if it is broad, of ex pansiveriens; if narrow, of concentra tion. When tl:i? tongue is both long and large it implies that the possessor is a great gossip, frank to dlsagreeableness, and thoughtless. If the tongue be long and narrow, its owner Is only half frank, thinking a«s much as Is uttered, but not always uttering all that is thought. If the tongue be short and broad, there is promise of plenty of gossip— and falsehoods; it talks a great deal, but says little of what is reall> thought. If short and narrow, it Indicates deep cunning and lying; impenetrability and prudence. This tongue belongs to those persons always ready to make mis takes, but eager to Inspire confidence. lie glass—you will see the effect j%| 112 You can't help puckering—it makes you pucker I } E to think of tasting it. §Jr 1| By the use of so called cheap Baking JV\ /#1 I Powders you take this puckering, injurious Alum f[ J 112 I \ P right into your system—you injure digestion, \ I / and ruin your stomach- Iff AVOID At VM V I Sap piainip** I I koyai is made from pure, refined Grape Cream of Tartar-Costs more I Alum but you have the profit of quality, the profit of good health.
