THE  PATRONS  IN  GREAT  BRITAIN 
The  P.  of  .H.  is  an  organization  designed  for 
the  social  and  material  advancement  of  fainiers. 
irrespective  not  only  of  section,  hut  of  country. 
'1  he  Order  has  made  a  considerable  and  gratify¬ 
ing  progrc8.s  in  Canada  and  the  other  British 
Amei-ican  Provinces,  It  has  been  suggested 
tliat  the  Grange  should  be  introduced  into  Great 
Britain.  Tlie  subject  was  dlseuHscd  at  the  late 
meeting  of  the  National  Grange  ami  thi!  Master 
wits  authorized  to  axipoiiit  dejiuties  to  e.urry  out 
this  project.  In  aecordaiiee  with  his  iustnictions 
he  has  named  Mr.  J,  W.  A.  Wright  of  Fi-emio 
county,  California,  as  the  lirst  deputy  to  inform 
the  fanners  of  the  world  in  legard  to  the  objects 
of  the  Orange,  and  the  great  work  it  is  iloing  in 
this  country. 
The  Louisville  Ledger  of  Jan.  12th,  aiinoune- 
iiig  this  appointmeut,  says The  bask  could  not 
have  been  placed  in  better  hands.  Mr.  Wright 
is  a  Princeton  graduate  of  (lie  class  of  '57,  ami  is 
a  (jraotiottl  ami  sirientilic  horticultnriflt  and 
botanist.  He  has  resided  in  (California  since 
1868,  and  has  been  one  of  tlio  most  iiromiueut 
leaders  in  the  Grange  movenieiit  on  the  Pacific 
slope  ever  since  the  iiiceiition  of  the  Order.  Mr. 
Wright  was  tlio  tii-st  Jlaster  of  the  California 
State  Gnuigu,  and  has  orguiiized  fifty-five  sub¬ 
ordinate  Griuiges  in  lii.s  own  81atc.  He  lias  been 
an  attemlant  at  tlie  last  thro*-  meetiiigu  of  the 
National  Grange  as  I'ast  Master,  and  in  1874  w-as 
cliosen  to  draft  the  declaration  of  jnirjioseH  of 
the  Order.  It  will  thus  bo  seen  that  lie  is  thorough¬ 
ly  identiiled  with  the  orgaization,  and  is  couvor-  j 
Bant  with  the  most  minute  details. 
^Ir.  Wright  will  sail  from  New' York  next  week, 
and  though  the  length  of  hia  stay  in  Great  Britain 
will  depend  largely  upon  tho  amount  of  buccoss 
with  winch  hia  mission  will  meet,  he  will  not  he 
uhsijiit  above  two  months. 
Ills  the  liclief  of  those  prominent  in  the  Grange 
tlifil,  by  union  and  co-operation,  the  farmers  of 
tins  country  and  of  Great  Britain  can  do  much 
to  enlianoo  their  mutual  hileroBts,  and  advance 
the  dignity  of  lalxir  to  a  great  degree.  When 
there  are  fifteen  subordinate  Granges  organized  ' 
iu  a  foreign  country,  they  will  constitute  an  in-  j 
duiieudent  body,  or  what  ia  known  in  America  as 
a  State  Grunge.  The  members  of  u  foreign  State 
Orange  will  not  be  compelled  to  render  any  alle-  j 
gianee  or  pay  any  dues  to  Oie  National  Grange,  ; 
but  th«‘y  will  stand  upon  a  fraternal  fooling  ivitli  j 
the  Patrons  of  this  country,  ami  will  be  <-iitill<>d  , 
to  their  aid  and  conns<!l  whenever  requested.  |

INFANTILE  THUMB-SUCKING 
The  British  Medical  Journal  imblishes  uri 
article  by  Dr,  Horace  Dobells,  in  which  tliat 
distinguislied  physician  states  that  he  lius  ob¬ 
served  tliat  a  xss'nliar  and  rather  common  ile- 
formity  of  the  chest  Is  cuusotl  by  the  habit  of 
Huckiug  the  thiiinh  in  infancy  uml  early  child¬

doprcHsioii  of  the  ribs  in  the  line  ix'Cnpicd  by  tho 
arm  when  tlio  tlinmh  is  placed  in  the  month. 
The  doctor  thinks  this  is  a  very  iiiniortnnt  effect 
of  the  liiihit  of  thumh-sucking  -one  wliich  h.a8
