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 ? o o Springfield Grunge, Erie Co., had a family Biippor for the families of all the membors on tho night of their Instal lation of officors.

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 4 a quarrel? Wkaa tae iswiT "K secret at all. I!ra to wf n tured to quarrel, and he's too indolent." Exchange. 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. Bills You made a funny break In congratulating the bride's father in stead of the groom. Wills No, I didn't.
