w., PORTLAND, March ~, 1911.
The committee appointed by this Lodge to report
resolutions expressive of he sentiments OF the Lodge
IN relation to the sudden dispensation OF Divine
Providence by which We have been afflicted 10 the
death OF our late brother, ''Robert NJ. Wood, feel
that It is no cold, merely formal service that they
are called upon to perform and that they but give
expression to the heartfelt sympathy, which they in
common wit all other members OF the Lo 1ge, have,
with the relatives and nearer friends OF the deceased
in this, their, and our great bereavement. We feel
that the members of this lodge honor and revere the
memory OF our brother for his upright and Christian
character and for the love and respect by
him towards widowed mother, who rested upon
him in great degree, as one OF the supports and
comforts OF her declining years. With these few pre-
lminary remarks and realizing that they can but in
adequately express in words thu real depth oil feeling
OF the members of the Lodge, they present the fol
lowing resolutions.
Resolved, That in the death OF our late brother
Robert M. Wood" this Lodge has lost an earnest,
honest. and promising member, one who though
young in years, and unassumng in manners, yet
was kno Sn intimately by many OF our members, and
known as We believe, only to be loved.
Resolved That we tender an expression OF our
heartie It sympathy to the doubly bereaved mother,
and other relatives Of late BROTHER in this their
great and rreDarabe loss.
ResofUsd, That while we deeply mourn the loss OF
our brother that it is solely on our own account and
that OF his other surviving friends that we thus
mourn; humbly trusting and believing, that what
Is our loss is his eternal GAIN and that 1t is infinite
ly bstter with him than with us.
Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon
TIT records OF the Lodge and copy sent to the sur
v1ving family of the deceased slight token OF our
respect for him and our sympathy with them.

CHILDREN whose brain development is I'M

most frequently singled out for premature

PoRTLANDERs ABRoAD.-We mentioned the
other day that two Portland ladies' remained
in Paris all through the siege and how they
enjoyed sponge cake made with ham fat for
lard. A letter has lately been received from
one of these ladies, who says that before Paris
fell they had to come down to ho1se-flesh and
very good they found it too. Alternate days
they were able to secure nice cut at seventy
five cents a pound, and the other days they
had to take pieces that were only good to make
soup with. The two or three days before the
end of the siege they received only twelve
| ounces of bread day for their only support
| made of the remains OF the -four, rye, oats
ETC., left in the city all mixed together, and II
made them sick. After the siege the supplies
came in and their delight was great when their

We took hurried glance at those that had
been placed in position, yesterday afternoon,
and noticed several that will probably please
our readers very much. "Coming thro' the
Rye" by Beyschlag, is an I'D story very pref.
tily worked up on canvas. A blithe and bnxom
German traulein is stepping forward TO greet
her lover. fine looking, well.to-do young far
mer, who is evidently somewhat astonished to
see her, for be stands with outstretched arms,
while smile of joy and surprise illumnes bis
features. The dress of the couple is a faithful
copy Of the costume of the peasants of South
Germany, even to the fur cap worn by the
young man, which seems rather out of place
among the bending grain. The figures and
the wheat field are very nicely painted, but the
foliage of the trees and the castle with its sur
roundings in the background are not so care
fully executed. Then there is large painting
by Waterman, valued at $1,000, entitled GULL
yer among the Lilliputs. CULVER is stretched
upon his pack on the ground while the city has
sent its throng of the curious TO gaze upon the
man monster. The picture will bear study
from the numerous figures introduced and
their variety. One of the little creatures is
seated at his easel sketching the huge figure
an army of soldiers parades between his out
stretched legs; court-ladies in full dress, some
with their infants, peer at him from a safe dis
lance; while as far as the eye can reach in the
background, ''the cry is, still they come" Harry
Brown exhibits his fine marine, "Frenchman's
Bay" with its briny flavor and excellent Ell
fects Of rock and wave. Norton displays lit
tie six by ten, sail boat in stiff breeze.
There is very nice fruit piece by Dunnng, of
Fall River, an arrangement of grapes, pears
and peaches, all of which are very faithful to
nature. Leighton has pair OF good stout
truck norses; Barlilai pleasing copy of the
Madonna of Murillo; view of Newport Noun
tain, Mt Dess2t, by Harry Brown, in which
there are many pleasing effects of light and
shadow, and some rich coloring descriptive of
