The grange organiza tion or machine, is valueless except It works up better results for the farmer. In the early days thousands flocked to the grange, expecting to get rich through it in a few months; others thought the angel that guards the farm ers' welfare would with one stroke sweep away all wrong and injustice. So today some people expect too much of the grange. They forget that the best work of all organizations takes time to ripen.

To prevent that premature bursting of the calyx which so often injures the appearance of several varieties or car nations, especially the cut blooms, turn down the calyx of each blossom and slip beneath it close to the base of the sepals and quite out of sight a tiny col lar of soft silk or cotton thread. Tie and cut off the ends of the thread, then turn the calyx back to Its natural posi tion, smoothing it carefully over the thread collar, and the flower will re tain its perfect shape until it fades and dies.

A southern writer tells this story of a negro preacher's version of the para ble of the good Samaritan: There was a traveler on a lonely road, said the preacher, who was set upon by thieves, robbed and left wounded and helpless by the wayside. As he lay there vari ous persons passed him, but none of fered to assist bira. Presently, how ever, a poor Samaritan came by and, taking pity on the wounded man's plight, helped him on his mule and took him to an Inn, where he ordered food and drink and raiment for the man, directing the innkeeper to send the bill to" him. "And dls am a true story, brethren," concluded the preach er "for de inn am standin dere yet, and In de do'way am standin' de skd' ton ob de innkeeper, waitin' fer de good Samaritan to come back an' pay de blU."-Harpers weeaiy. lAtrm Anions' the Spiders.
