State Lecturer Lowell of New York Submits a List of Parliamentary Questions and Answers Which Grange Members Will Find Instructive. T.'o meeting of the grange can be conducted correctly without some knowledge of parliamentary rules, and as there is, we believe, a very consid erable lack of knowledge of such rules ami in order that members may be posted upon the more Important parlia , nu'iitary questions that arise without ha\ iiig to take the trouble to look them up for themselves State Lecturer Low ell of Fredoula, X. V., has prepared the following parliamentary questions, with their answers, which we suggest can be made an interesting feature for an evening's programme. The lecturer might assign these questions to mem bers at a previous meeting or call upon members without giving them previous notice and ascertain how many are capable of answering the questions without consulting Cushiug's Manual or some other equally good authority: 1 In it In order to lay an amendment on tlie table? No; it la done sometimes to kill a ques tion before the house, to get some one to vote who thinks he is getting rid of the amendment only. If you lay an amend incut on the table, the main question goes with it', it is not good parliamentary form. 2. May a member arise to a question of privilege and speak on the question be fore the house? No. 3. ilow many times may one person speak on a question and not be out of order? if he moves the question, twice; if not. once. 4. When a question of privilege is be fore the house and a motion is made to take up the order of the day, what be comes of the question of privilege? it i i lost. 5. When a person wishes to malce re marks on a motion of his own should It be done before or after stating the mo tion? Always before. ti Can you tell whether the following questions are debatable or undebatable or whether they require a majority or two-thirds vote to be carried? (a) Motion to close debate. Requires a two-thirds vote, undebatable. (b) Objection to the consideration of question. Requires a two-thirds vote, cannot be amended, is undebatable. (c) Motion to limit debate. Requires a two thirds vote, Is undebata ble. can be amended, td) Motion to extend the limit of debate. Requires a two-thirds vote, is undebata ble, can be amended. <e> Motion to take up the previous ques Tion. Requires a two-thirds vote, cannot be amended, is undebatable. 7. Can you tell what questions can be amended and what cannot? Tl -a are nineteen questions which can no. be amended. Here are some of the mo t important ones: Motion to adjourn, an." I inert to an amendment, call to or der. lay on table, take from the table, withdrawal of a motion, objection to the consideration of a question. 8. How and when may n question be re considered? At the meeting when the motion was passed or the next following. The mover must be one who voted on the prevailing side; require:; a two-thirds vote. 9. Can all questions be reconsidered? No. 10. If an appeal is taken from the deci sion of the chair and the vote is a tie, what is the result? Why? it is lost, because if half the voters are ulth the chair he'makes a majority. 11. Can a presiding officer vote after the votes have been counted? In tome eases by unanimous consent he can east the deciding vote. 12. Can you correctly dispose of an amendment to an amendment? First put the amendment to the amend ment. If carried, put the amendment us amended; if carried, put tiie original ques tion as amended; if lost, put the questions aa they come, beginning always with the amendments. 13. What is a point of order? When a person is speaking and states something wrong any one may arise and say, "I arise to a point of order." The chairman shall say, "State tlie point of order." The one rising shall then cite wherein the speaker has made a wrong statement, and if the chair sustains the point of order the speaker shall sit down; if it Is not sustained and no appeal Is taken, the speaker may continue. 14. Question of privilege—when made? It may be made when a speaker has the floor. As soon as it is disposed of the assembly resumes the consideration of tlio question which was interrupted. 15. Objection to consideration of ques tion—when made? When u question comes up which any one thinks should not be discussed he may object to its consideration. Cannot be a mended, Is undebatable, requires two thirds vote, does not require a second and is in order when another has the floor. New England Grange Excursion.

The reason is to be found in the advertisements themselves. Advertisers are more careful than they used to be. They make thoedvertise ments more readable. Some of them even become, in a way, a department of the paper, and people look for them v i ] every day with as much «est and pleasure as they turn to 1 any other feature. This is true of many department stores all over In many cities there is just one man who appre- it I /r*)7 ciates the value of such interest. (, y A / He breaks away from the old set stylo.
