THE STATE GRANGE.
J. T. Atlman, Press Correspondent.
No, the oflleors and Legislative Cora
mitto of the Pennsylvania State Grange
uro not "afraid" to speak out on the tax
question or any other questions that Is
of special interest to the agricultural
class. Thorn are now three bills pond
ing before thr legislature whioh, If
enacted, will give substantial relief to
the tax burdened farmer. Letters and
memorials are now pouring in upon the
members of the House and Senate
urging thorn to work and vote for these
measures.
One bill proposos to return to the
counties the license fees and nine'
tenths of tho personal property tax In
stead of the three-fourths, as now,
Another will levy a tax of one mill on
tho capital stock of corporations for
road purposes, and tho other' will give
$1")0,IIOO for tho establishment, and
support of township high schools.
If tho farmers of tho state generally
could lie rallied to the support of these
measures as tho member of tho grange
are rallying, they would be passed. This
done the next step towards tho full
equalization of taxes in the state would
bo easier.
o o
The ono industry on which all othors
rest und which is a condition of their
existence is agriculture. Enterprises
of great magnitude, far-reaching ira
portnnee and employing largo capital
have sprung into existence, nourished
for a timo and disappeared because sup
planted by something elso. Not so tbo
farm. . It made civilization possible and
will bo its stay and support to the lust.
All truo patriots respect agriculture
and will give it every encouragement.
Tho fanner owes it to himself and to
his culling to do all he can to secure
proper recognition. This ho can do
only through organization. To such as
realizo this the doors of tho grango
stand open.
o o
Prcdonia Grango No. 1 of Now York,
tho (irst grango ever organized, Is
about to build a hall. One mombor has
promised to give $1000.00. What better
evidunco of tho permanoncy of tbo
grango can be wunted ?

?jt Wnyn of Ilnlnsr ntmliieMH.
I have seen in London only one olllee
where there Is any renl enthusiasm.
And the employees seldom hnve any In
terest In the business beyond drawing
their salaries. In most of tht factories,
and even In the offices, they are taught
a certain round of duties, nnd they are
allowed to do nothing else. They sel
dom suggest Improvements for fear of
loRlng their places, where in America
they'd soon lose their places if they
didn't mnke suggestions. Here It's the
firm In Its private olflces nnd every
body else doing as little as posslblo and
never stepping out of the rut they're
put in, and there it's everybody work
ing together, coats off, find tho head of
the concern glad to listen to the olllee
boy and to do ns he says If It means re
sults. Vanity Fair.
Anelent Kkkn In China.
A German epicure comes to the rescno
of the Chinese In regard to their al
leged liulilt of eating rotten eggs. Tho
eggs, he says, are simply preserved in
lime until they get a consistency like
that of hard butter and they taste
somewhat like lobster. He declares
them one of the choicest delicacies lie
has over eaten. lie thinks there are
no better cooks in tho world than the
Chltujse. When ho went to live among
them his friends predicted he would
starve, but he had a good time nnd
gained weight more than he wanted
to.
Imlay Steam nollera.
According to an engineer, though
there may bo every reason present why
a steum boiler should stenra there are
occasions when it simply will not. It
refuses duty nnd sulks without nny
cause that can be detected. On such
occasions every one takes a hand at
the fires, but the result Is the same
no steam or only enough to keep three
quarters speed. Marine and stationary
boilers tire both thus nfllleted. There
nre "good days" and "bad days" in the
performance of each Chicago News.
Get filmy.
The successful man is usually busy,
and the busy man Is usually success
ful. The young man, whatever his vo
cation, who has not learned to econo
mize his time nnd keep busy lias not
got the lesson most essential to a pros
perous, useful nnd happy life. Chicago
Tribune.
A Great Combination.
"Ton and your husband have lived
together twenty-five years nnd never

Rejected Fnttlne of War.
Certain engines of war have been re
jected by civilized nations In times
gone by because they were too de
structive and too horrible. England lias
still In keeping a secret war plan of tho
tenth Earl of Dundon.'jld which the au
thorities rejected because, while It wai
Infallible, It was too Inhuman to use by
man against man. Even I.ouls XV. of
France had backbone enough to refuse
Dupre's terrible Invention. If the story
of this discovery be true the plan was
to create by a secret process a confla
gration whose intensity was but in
creased by water. It would burn town
or fleet. Louis refused to hare the se
cret published, and It went down to the
grave with Dupre.
