THE UNDERWEAR QUESTION.
The Cotton and Linen Fetlah an
Example of Backward Evolution
Nonogennrlan Sustained by
the Wool Producers.
After advocating the doctrine of wear
ing flannel next the skin in our very
severe winter climate, and reprehending
(hat other one, of substituting cotton or
linen fabrics in the place of it, and giv
ing philosophy, law, and reason for the
truth of ray .position, (which does not
require "a learned, able, and 'scholarly
gentleman," when we consider the
knowledge of our school boys), I see
nothing left of the subject for future ar
gument. It is unnecessary to recapitu
late trom my iormer communications.
They have not been refuted, and cannot
be, for those arguments are irrefutable,
and our would-be philosopher of cotton
and linen has no ground to stand upon ;
in the language of our forensic neigh
bors, he is "ruled out of court."
However much the doctrine of evolu
tion and developemeiit has operated and
is operating, to advance the practice of
medicine to a more and more scientific
basis, certainly this fad or fetish of our
cotton or linen philosopher is far trom
being one of the factors in the process,
and may lie called titaritim, or a phe
nomenon of reversion, or backward evo
lution, lobster-like, toward a lower prim
itive condition ; and it is up to the Presi
dent of the Wayne County Medical So
ciety to Hiiggest to its members the dis
cussion of this very important subject at
their meetings. For ours is not a tropi
cal climate, and for sixty years, to my
o.wn certain knowledge, we have advo
cated the wearing of woollens for the
underclothing of men, women and child
ren ; and now feel that this new gospel
of linen or cotton to supplant it is a
dargerousinnovation, encroachment and
trespass upon a firmly established hy
gienic doctrine. Physicians, as children
of Ksculapins, also kneel to our sister
the. Goddess Hygein, and recognize pre
ventive medicine as of the utmost im
portance. Kvery animal in-tlie North Temperate
and North Frigid zones has a winter and
a summer garment provided by nature
except the human animal; and for the
latter, art must supply the defect. It
has done so, and will continue to do so,
by the very wise and well-established
provision of wool in the winter season,
and cotton or linen in summer. Who
ever interferes, unnaturally, by clipping
an animal unseasonably, or by dressing
the body of a person to conflict with
natural laws, should be handed over to
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. Why the fighting blood of
our cotton, linen and literary friend can
And gratification in so bold an endeavor
to propagate the personal idiosyncrasy
of his own anatomical architecture, is
undiscernible. Even a sheep would re
sent it. What the bumptious editor says
of wool is uninteresting ; but what would
the sheep, the bearer of the wool, if it
were articulate, say of him?
Who docs not remember the fabled
colloquy of the I5oy and the Sheep, in
the nursery of our kidhood a la Balaam
and his Ass ?
Hoy:
"I.a7.y sheep, pray ti'll me why
In the pleasant Held you lie,
Kutlng crass and daisies wnlte
Kroni the morning until night?
Kverytliiu? can something do
liut what kind of use are you?"
SiiKKr:
"Nay, my little master, nay 1
Do nui. serve me ho, 1 pray.
Don't you see tliu wool that grows
On my back to make you clothes '!
Cold and verv ''old you'd get
Jfldldnoteiveyouit."
"Hut true. It seems a pleasant thins
To nip the daisies in liie spring," etc.
The faithful teleologist, or seeker af
ter fitness or design in Nature, admires
the wisdom of a higher power, or Provi
dence in designing sheep, upOn which
the residents of these hyperborean re
gions are to depend for their winter
garments ; but without descanting upon
that postulate, we will give credit to the
Birdsalls, of Seelyville, as public ben
ofactora for manufacturing what the
sheep affords into an indispcnsible
staple ; and, in passing, may be men
tioned the Messrs. Menner & Co., who
deal in made-up woollens of different
grades and weights, from the line soft
worsteds, up to the domestics of the
Uirdsalls.
I nm not in the interest of either of
these gentlemen, but in the interest of
all the people of Wayne county. Ks
pecially the matrons, their kiddies, and
adolescents. The interest may be ex
tended to the bluo jackets, marines, and
sailors of our navy ; tho boys in khaki
and blue of our army, and the armies
and navies of the world.
Our editor, to bolster up his untenable
position, brings to his aid' a couple of
physicians of another and much milder
climo than ours, who would bu obliged
to dress as our physicians do if they were
subjected to like exposures.
Samples of the stuff our editor is boom
ing come to us through the mails, along
with tho other samples and circulars,
recommending proprietary or patented
articles. They find a place in the waste
basket together, where they belong. It
any one should be misled by print
er's ink, and tempted to try the "stuff,"
I would advise it to be worn in winter,
over flannel, and notunder it; and over
these, garments to suit personal taste,
NONOOENARUN M. D.
It takes a truthful man to tell a lie big
enough to attract attention.
SEED SELECTION.
Much Dspsnda on th Car Given Thh
Important Matter.
The time for selecting seed 'corn U
before the harvest If one wishes to
have hla own corn ripen earlier he
should go through the field and mark
those that are. the first to ripen. If he
wants a more prolific corn let him
mark those stalks which have two or
more perfect ears and those that pro
duce tho longest ears well filled to the
end. Save these at husking time and
later on go over them again to choose
the most perfect ears, those that have
large kernels and small cobs, as such
cure most quickly without molding and
produce the most grain to a bushel of
cars. Put the best of these where they
will dry perfectly and be safe from
dampness and from rats and mice. If
one cannot get enough such ears to
plant all he desires to grow let him
plant the best of these In a field apart
from the rest and the next year select
seed In the same way from that field.
If given good cultivation these seed
plots will show such Improvement over
tho others In one or two years as to
make a larger proportion of stalks that
yield two ears or more, and from the
cars that aro large and ripen early he
will largely Increase his percentage of
perfect seed cars. This Is as true of
seed, corn as of field corn.
Seed potatoes should be selected at
the time of digging, taking them from
those hills most productive of mer
chantable potatoes and selecting those
that are perfect In Bhnpc and true to
the type of the variety. They need not
be tho largest In the hill. Most expe
rienced growers prefer medium sized
tubers for seed rather than the very
large, but they should be well ripened.
All roots for seed stock should be kept
In a dry and cool place, better If near
ly down to the freezing point, until
nearly time for planting out.
Such crops as beans and pens are
often saved for seed by planting rows
for that purpose, from which none nre
taken for family use or market, and
this is much better than saving such
as mny be left after tho main crop has
been picked, which soon causes them
to run out, but If from these special
plantings only those that ripened ear
liest were taken earlier maturity might
lie expected, while If the longer and
better filled pods were taken a larger
crop for market would be the result.
The seeds of squashes, melons' and
pumpkins are 'usually saved from the
best used In the family, but many
times the best are sent to market and
smaller or Inferior ones saved to be
eaten at home, and In this way no
Improvement is made In the future
crops. Tho cucumbers to select Beed
from should be the first perfect ones
to set on the vine or as near the bill
ns may be.
Such roots as produce seed only in
the second year, as beets, turnips, cab
bages, onions, celery, lettuce, etc..
should be selected ns perfect speci
mens as can be found and kept as di
rected above. Tomatoes also should
bo selected from the very best and
earliest that ripen on the most prolific
vines. The same general rules will
apply to almost all crops, saving' the
best for seed, and If not enough of It
Is obtained for planting or sowing put
that separately where it can furnish
more seed another year.
Economical Cistern Filter.
A practical filter Is necessary for
the cistern. One may be constructed
of any good, sound oak barrel, as
shown In the illustration herewith.
One head Is removed and several holes
bored In It. It Is then dropped Inside
and forms n false bottom, as shown,
leaving a clear space between It nnd
I'lLTUn MADE OF A BABBIX.
the bottom or head proper. Six or
seven inches of coarse gravel or bro
ken stone are next placed on the false
bottom, and on this stone a layer of
charcoal six or seven Inches thick is
placed, and on the charcoal a second
layer of stone or gravel. In nil it
should be about eighteen or twenty
Inches thick. The water enters the
barrel at the bottom between the head
and the falso bottom through the reg
ular down spout, which Is clearly Illus
trated. It passes up through the
gravel and charcoal and out at the top
through a second pipe which leads to
the cistern. The top layer of stone
may bo Improved on by filling the
voids between the stone with sand.
Tho sand is covered with cheesecloth
stretched on a wire and the cloth nnd
wire held in place with one or two
stones. A small wooden plug or faucet
Is placed at the lower end of the bar
rel to drain same after a rain or when
washing out the filter. Give tho barrel
two or three coats of paint, provide a
closo fitting cover and your filter will
do tho work just as well as any twen
ty-five dollar filter in the land.
Commercial Manure.
Commercial manure In n dry season
does not work out ns well as stable
manure. Growing two or more crops
calls for a largo amount of water. The
first crop may find enough, but the
second will not, and unless the soil has
been richly provided with organic mat
ter the second crop will be disappoint
bur. On a dairy farm mmure will take
care of problems.

Hon. W. T. Creasy 8ucceeds Hon. W.
F. Hill as State Master Important
Measures Adopted at the Recent
State Grange Meeting at Altoona.
One of the greatest grange organiza
tions in the United States Is that of
Pennsylvania, which held Its annual
meeting at Altoona recently. State
Master Bill returned from his trip
abroad to attend the International In
stitute of agriculture at Home. Italy,
in time to attend his state grange meet
ing. In his annual address he remark
ed that there had been great progress
In the state during the past year In
(range work. Showing the progress
made by the grange the past ten years,
$3,000 dues Is now paid to the national
grange, whereas' ten years ago It was
less than $1,000.
Secretary 3. T. Allman s:ii.l that
there was only once before when as
largo a number of new members were
admitted as dur
ing last year.

now C77 granges
In the state, thirty-nine

during the year;
nlso five Pomona

The executive
committee rec
ommended that

Insurance compa
nies be increased
aild their work
extended into v''- T- cbeasv.
new fields. But little progress has
been made in the forming of n life
insurance company, nil propositions
seeming to be too expensive or intri
cate. They said that the grange banks
In Pennsylvania had been n success
nnd that the reports from all of them
were encouraging.
The legislative committee reaffirmed
the position It had previously taken
In favoring tho township road law ve
toed by the governor This law re
quired that the state 'should pay 50
cents for every dollar of cash tax
raised by the townships and abolished
the 91 per capita tax. The committee
believed that the state highway depart
ment should be reorganized and the
present law be made more flexible to
suit varying conditions. Some method
should be found to reduce the cost of
highways if the townships must share
the 'expense. It favored no expendi
tures of state moneys that were not
equally distributed among the coun.
ties, and especially so when a $4,000
auto owner pays only $3 tax and the
owner of a $4,000 home pays $00.
The committee expressed Itself ns
unalterably opposed to Involving the
taxpayer in an interest bearing bonded
debt. On the school question it said
that a township high school should be
established In every district and agri
culture and manual training should
be taught In these schools. Among the
speakers at the public session was
Hon. Wlllet Hays, assistant secretary
of agriculture.
On tho refusal of Hon. W. F. Hill to
become state master Hon. "W. T. Crea
sy of Catawlssa was elected to that
office. E. B. Dorsett of MansfteM was
re-elected lecturer, and J. T. Allman of
Thompsontown was re-elected secre
tary. Among tho resolutions adopted were
these: Indorsing compulsory teaching
of agriculture In township schools; fa
voring the enlargement of the existing
transportation facilities. It was, de
cided to make no change In the names
of grange banks, but no discrimination
should be made In favor of or against
any particular bank. Another resolu
tion provided for a local option depart
ment, which will bo In charge of Rev,
J, W. Johnston, but which Is to be sup
ported entirely by voluntary contrlbu
tlons, and $500 was raised Immediate
ly for the work. This plan, while it
gives the emphatic moral support of
tho Order to local option, does not sub'
ordinate the demands for other tern
perance legislation. Tho newly elect
ed officers were Installed at the last
session.
A High Recommendation
The National Stockman in a recent
Issue says this of the grange: "The
national grange Is a true represcnta
tlve of rural interests. It has a right
to speak with authority on many sub
jects of vital Importance to farmers.
It Is a more conservative body than It
was thirty years ago and accomplishes
more by reason of conservation. Cer
tain great corporations would not
agree that Its demands and utter
ances are other than radical, but that
Is a highly unimportant fact They
are reasonably conservative In the es
timation of the great mass of wealth
producers and thus have weight The
American people will not put their
trust In any reckless radicalism, but
want a leadership that Is sincere In Its
Interest with plain, hardworking, pru
dent people, who want a square deal.
The grange stands for that as It un
derstands it, making very few mis
takes, and It Is gaining in Influence."
