WOMEN'S INSTITUTES.
A Polble New Field of Labor For
Women of the Grange.
We hare our farmers' institutes, nnd
they are notably successful. We have
not yet had our women's Institutes.
which might be equally as successful
In this we are behind our Canadian
neighbors. They have developed this
larm women's institute Idea Into a
very practical form of work. No less
than 800 of these meetings of farmers
wives have been held in Ontario the
past season under the auspices of the
board of agriculture. They have their
own corps of women speakers, and a
good attendance is reported.
The objects of women's institutes, as
stated in the rules and regulations, are
"the dissemination of knowledge re
latlng to domestic economy, including
household architecture, with special
attention to home sanitation; a bet lei
understanding of the economic and
hygienic value of foods with a view to
raising the general standard of morals
and health of our people." In practical
working the speakers seem to have
placed most emphasis on instruction In
better methods of housekeeping and
Improvement of household conditions
on the farm. While it is true that our
farmers' institute programmes already
give considerable attention to subjects
or Uouseliold interest. Derhans a semi
rate scries of meetings conducted for
farmers' wives especially and largely
by them Would be desirable. More first
class women sneakers at Institutes
might at least be reasonably provided
to discuss topics of peculiar interest to
them.
CO-OPERATIVE STORES.
They Are but Few a Compared Wlt!i
Former Day.
Twenty-five or thirty years ago co
operative grange stores were much
more common than they are today.
Then the profits on groceries and pro
visions were larger than they are now.
and as these profits declined, particu
larly on staple articles of trade, the
grange stores began to decrease fn
numbers, as most of them were estab
Hshed with small capital. Today those
stores are very few, but some of them
are doing good business because well
managed.
The Central New Tork Pomona Ex
change at Syracuse and others at tier
klmer, Little Falls and other places
are among the number. The Grangers"
Exchange at Herkimer was organized
twelve years ago with a capital stock
of $4,000. A portion of tho net pro
ceeds has been used each year to In
crease the stock of goods, and at the
same time a dividend of not less than
6 per cent has been declared. At the
annual meeting In January last a dlvl
dend of 25 per cent was set aside. The
sales last year amounted to more than
$00,000. It does a strictly cash busi
ness, but sells goods to everybody at a
uniform price. The Grange's Mercan
tile association of Little Falls recently
declared a dividend of 25 per cent oil
last year's business. These are excep
tlonal. The average co-operative grange
store is not a very profitable enterprise
In these latter days.
The Good Honda Question.
When tho New York state granges
get through with the barge canal ques
tion they should give good roads their
attention. They can if they will wield
a most wholesome Influence for the
betterment of our highways. To this
eud the lirownlow good roads bill, in
troduced into the second session of the
Fifty-seventh congress, finds ninny
strong advocates iu the grange. The
bill was referred to the committee on
agriculture and ordered printed, and
it is expected to come before the next
session of congress. It is defined as 11
bill to create in the department of, ng
lieulture a bureau of public roads aiid
to provide for a system of national,
stale und local co-operation in the per
manent improvement of public high
ways.
Our Grand Work.
The grange's aggressive conserva
tism. Its broad views of "equality to all
and special privileges to none," "justly
distributed burdens and Justly dlstrib
uted power," its elevation of the great
producing class.in the scale of general
Intelligence, the refinement and culture
in our country homes resulting from
lis ivstlietle teachings, all taken togeth
er, have given it a standing among the
institutions of men surpassed by none
other and equaled by few.-Natlonal
Stockman.
In spite of a big horse race at the
same hour the meeting held by the Pa
trons on grunge day, in the grange tent
at the Worcester (Mass.) fair, was
largely attended. Attorney General
Herbert Parker was the principal
speaker. Ifs a good speaker who c.in
heat a horse race in drawing the crowd
The grange claims the credit for es
tnblishlng rural free delivery of mail,
and it regrets the revelations of fraud
and chicanery in that department that
have wrought disgrace upon the serv
ice. The grange first demanded clectlan
of United States seuators by the peo
ple. It also demands postal saving
bunks. The people will finally have
both.
The grange has done much for the
women of the farm, but the grange
would lose more than half Its efficiency
Without the women.
CASTOF AND TOUJJX
Original.
In referring to the twins their fellow
Btudtenta spoke of them as gemlnl (the
Latin for twins) and called them Cas
tor and Pollux. They were both on the
university football team and were con
sidered the best amateur Dlavers in
New England. I don't propose to give
away their identity here, so I shall
designate them by their college sobri
quets. They were both flaxen haired,
blue eyed giants. Every one knows
that the affection between twins is re
markable, and these two were no ex
ception to the rule. Indeed when after
being graduated Castor went west to
seek his fortune, Pollux remaining at
the university to take a post graduate
course, the separation very nearly
broke the brothers down. Everybody
wondered how they dared strike out in
different directions.
Pollux was wanted on the university
team, but it was some time before he
consented to go on. He could not bear
the thought of playing without his
brother. However, he consented a I
last, and that made his team the stron
gest college team in the country for
that year. I'm not going to everl locate
it by giving the college teams that
fought the champion game that year.
I'll call them A. and B. I can only as
sert what everybody knew happened.
As to the details of the game, I give
them from the account given me by a
member of the A. team. I was not
present myself.
When the A. team got into the tally
ho to drive to the grounds It was dis
covered that Pollux was missing. The
captain cursed and thundered, making
the air hot with his remarks, but It
didn't do any good. Pollux did not ap
pear. Some one suggested that he
might have gone direct to the grounds,
and the captain finally decided to drive
on, hoping to find him there. But he
didn't.
When the team lined up Pollux was
still wanting. A substitute was in his
place and the game about to com
mence. There was a fence about twen
ty feet high around the iuclosure, and
at the calling of the game an Immense
figure in football garb appeared, on
Its top with one leg over. Then it
jumped down and walked toward the
gridiron. A shout arose, 'Tollux to
the rescue!" as the figure strode on
nnd took his position in the line. His
captain went up to him and asked for
an explanation, but the big fellow mo
tioned him to proceed with the,game.
By this time the bettlne was a cood
deal mixed, for now that the missing
man had come 110 one knew whether
he was going to do great things or lit
tie things. He played as he had been
used to playing, though not exerting
himself as much as usual, except at
critical moments. At such times he
would contrive to secure the ball and
on several occasions got it to goal.
There was nothing brilliant about the
way he did it The singular feature
was that no one could explain how he
Old It The men would be massed, the
B. men on the ball. Then suddenly
Pollux would be found to have cot It
and tryiug to get through the guards
witn it when there was an open
game and everybody could see what
was going on he did nothing. At the
end he brought his college in for two
points ahead, and tho champion game
was won.
You may say there was nothing re
markable about this. Well, there
wasn't. When the came was finished
the A. captain turned to thank Tollux
ror his work and didn't see him.
"Where's Tollux?" he asked.
"Why, he was here a moment ago
Ho can't have gone in."
"He must have gone in. If he thinks
he can bother me as he did todav wiih-
out an explanation he's mistaken."
The captain went Inside, where sev
eral of the team had already arrived,
and, not seeing the man he looked for,
asked:
"Has Tollux been here?"
"No," said a substitute. "And I've
been here half an hour."
Nor was there a person on the field
who had seen Tollux leave it.
"Singular," said his captain. "He
came over the fence how he got up
ther I can't Imagine nnd now he's
disappeared."
When the captain of the A.'s went
to his hotel the clerk handed him a
telegram. It was from Tollux and
read:
"Can't play today."
"Well," remarked the captain, "I'm
glnd he got there after all. We'd have
been 'gone up' without him."
The rest of the story that is, how it
came out or, rather, how. it didn't come
out, for Tollux declared that any
friend of his who spoke of it would
be his friend no longer Is rather misty.
Tollux was sweet on a girl and the
day before tho game came off he
traveled a hundred miles to see her
She was a Delilah and purposely kept
him till after the only train on which
he could reach the athJotic grounds In
time hud gone. Tollux, filled with
shame at his treatment of his fellows
sent the message to his captain, took
the next train for college and on ar
rival went to his rooms. There he
found a telegram announcing the
death of his brother.
The story given out was that Tollux
thought he would not be able to play,
but reached the grounds in time. I
was an A. student myself, roomed
next to Tollux nnd talked with him in
his own rooms about his brother's sud
den death wbilo the game was goim:
on. He has never to this day had a
aouDt mat Castor dying at the time
the gamo was called appeared In the
spirit to prevent the necessity of an ex
planation as to his brother's nonap
pearance. But that part of the story U
known only to me.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
N ew Wayof "Using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
air. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As
a proof that Chamberlain's Congh Rem
edy is a cure suitable for old and young,
I pen you the following: A neighbor
of mine had a child just over two month
old. It had a very bad cougb and the
parents did not know what to give it.
I suggested that it they would get a bot
tle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
put some npon the dummy teat the baby
was sucking it would no doubt cure the
child. This they did and brought about
a quick relief and cuied the baby."
