THE REPORT SYSTEM.
Enables State Lecturer to Locate Weak
Spots and Render Aid.
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.
Co-operative Insurance.
W. 11. Vary of Watertown, N. Y.,
president of the Central Organization
of Cooperative Fire Insurance in that
slate and which is largely composed
of grange lire insurance associations,
reports for the year 1000 123 compa
nies carrying 251,217 policies and risks
of $307,274,418. Losses last year
amounted to $700,000; expenses, $182,-
468. The average cost of insuring
.*I,OOO of risk was $2.07 for this year.

' 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.
A \.S V.-
(iloaoomaucie !. a new "science," in
troduced by a Mip* Erbere No of Paris,
consisting of reading the character by
the foi in ;.nd size of the tongue.
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.

two buggies from the same house the other day. One cost $i3.00 more than the other. Then he took the buggies
■ll apart to see just why one was higher priced than the other. Here is what he found out :
•Both buggies had exactly the same seat and back, same size body, same wheels, shafts and everything else, except
that the higher priced one had 14 -oz. cloth trimmings instead of Kcratol, found in the cheaper ; a leather boot, instead
of rubber ; a better axle, and the finLh on the woodwork was slightly better, but not very much.
