November 2lnt, 1907. | Wo often henr the words, "every i ;hotly must hear his own burden" is! lit not the duty of one who standsi Iby his neighbor, friend or brother! |to help when the loud is heavy? j jls it not ii qualification of love's i 'duly, the declaration of a deep i principle in life. We are never to slay our hand when we are in the presence of human need. Yet there is a lit'<* which all of us live in which no one can help, where each one must bear their own burden. No matter how eager love is it can do nothing. No one can come into us when we are facing our sudden death, bowing beneath it ami share it with lis. There is immeasurable help fur sad hearts in true sympathy. It bring- the *ensc of companionship to those who ire alone in the dark ness. Yet even the deepest and real sympothy does not take away the keenness of the Miiguish. This is a burden the sufferer must bear himself. Take thou my hand in thy unfaltering one. Lead me in thine own way until the journey i* done. Do you know that Uncle Sam spends a million and a half dollars each year to obtain advance information concerning the weather for his people? lie does and its more money than all the powers of Europe con - bined expend annually for this pur pose—Ml it stands to reason that lie ought to have the best weather Bureau in the world. Some times we jjft a Utile bit upset when the weather prediction" dout hit the mark, hut after all we have to admit that the aggregate results taken, year after year, are really wonderful. l>id you ever stop to think how much money the weather ni in saves fur the people of the country? Well, some years ago a large insurance company, which thought the Weather Bureau was over-rated, started out to gather statistics on this subject. They came to the conclusion that through the warning of the weather man no less than #30,000,000 was saved by the people of the Cnited States each year. Pretty «ood return for an outlay of a million and a half a year, isn't it? Probably the most important work which the Weather Huron u i- now conducting is tlie study of the sun, which is being made at Mount Weather, which is « peak in the Mine Ilidge, about sixty-five miles from Washington. The Weather Bureau officials came to the conclusion that the proper de velopement of their service depend ed upon determining the relation of the great orb to the meteorol ogical conditions of the earth. It holds, ihey believe, the key to the inysteries of the cyclone, drought, torential flood, etc. and they jire now seeking that key. fTf I< G I wnich tome coffee I roasters use to gU/e their I coffee with—would you eat I that kind of eggs?

Sound Doctrine Now and Then. I The imuige declaration of purposes, was drawn up forty years ago, but theme words which appear in It might I have been written yesterday: "We are ; i opposed to such spirit and munage ' ment of any corporation or enterprise as tends to oppress the people and rob them of their Just profits. We are not enemies of capital, but we oppose the ] tyranny of monopolies." That's souud doctrine for present day statesmen to consider. State Master Derthick of Ohio says no subordinate grange can become dor mant in a county having an active t'o- Diona grange. If you own or expect to own your grange hall, better Incorporate! The grange that Isn't doing »c*n«- tlUng might as well be dead. J W. HARROW. Orange \isitlng Is very popular among granges that arc of easy access *>ue to another.

There is nothing that women cannot do, but the work must be planned with II thoroughness that precludes failure and done with a modesty which is the inherent charm of the superior sex, says the Woman's Home Coiupanlou. As 1 said, every community has its own problem. Most of these originate outside of the home. Pure water, pure food, pure air. clean streets, sanitary schools and tenements, district nurs ing, the education of the Ignorant in the care of babies, the question of pau pers. the public baths and traveling li braries, the treatment of our women prisoners in prison and after, the lodg ing house problem—these are only a few of the civic puzzles crying for tralued women to solve. .V woman does probably h» r greatest Share uf her duty as a citizen when she makes a home a safe and happy harbor of refuge from n stormy world, when she bring.; up her children into noble manhood and womanhood and when she <IJLM not destroy her husband and family by bad cooking and bad temper, bill that saint woman crowns her career - .1 citizen when she in terests ti-TM-.; in 'I become* a vital part of some prm.ivut • •' government.
