But whatever be the cduse of this
misery, whether the fault of the suf-
ferer, OF not, his lcepts and needs are
the same and whatever society or
institution would aid the sufferer,
must go to him achere lie is, take him
as he is and lift him up. If he is in
need, aid him, if in affection, com
fort him, if he is sick visit him, and
IN case of his death guard from dan
ger and watch over the welfare of
those who were dear to him in life.
And this is just what our Order
does. It's commands are to "visit
the sick, relieve the distressed, bury
the dead and educate the orphan. :"
Man has physical as well as NOR
al nature, that demands nourishment
and spstenance. Poverty and want
may be blessings in disguise, but
they are generally 50 ef;ectuo1ly dis
guised that very few ever penetrate
the disguise, while on the other
hand we know it has driven thous-
ands into crime, or degraded them
to the condition of paupers. Mu-
tual relief in times of distress was
one of the primary objects of our
Order and is still retained and prac-
tioed. Neither are Cur Benefactions
confined within the order. We need
not allude to our donations distribu-
ted with liberal hand among the I'M
initiated whom some general calam-
ity had reduced to restitution and
want. Every good deed performed to
a single Individual member, expands
its beneficial effects directly or indi-
reotly, still further: the aided indi-
vidual is thereby enabled to aid 9th
ers, the benefaction he receives he
passes along the line of humanity,
till it is partaken of by many.
Then every want we relieve is so
much subtracted from the pressing
claims on society at large, and eve
~ case Of suffering We, prevent land
our prevention far exceeds our re-
lief is SO much saved from the gen
eral amount of constantly recurring
suffering, pauperism and crime. For
we wait not until brothers illness
has utterly exhausted his means, re
duced his family to want, and brok-
ell down his manly spirit into tame
submission to a life Of dependence
and pauperism. We step in at the
beginnjag Of illness and keep afar
off the utter poverty which might
bring submission to pauperisn or
drive to crime. The aid we give is
received with proper dignity and re
spect, SO that when ability returns
the family return to their usual vo-
cations, blessing the Order which
sustained and aided, without bestow-
ting aims. These arc only a few of
the many reasons that might be Civ
en- to show why our Order has pros
pered SO greatly and increased so
rapidly in numbers and influence.
Time will not allow US to enumerate
more, but we believe that even from
this brief and imperfect history and
description Of our Order. its princi-
plies and practices will commend it
to your hearts and Judgment, and
that you will bid US d hearty God
speed in our efforts to ameliorate
and lessen human misery and to
practically establish and carry out
the great principle of the universal
Brotherhood of mankind.

Wars Strange Inventions.

The present war, slow though it is in
its progress, will have the effect of
quickening inventive minds. 1t is very
clear that most serious addition to the
perils of naval warfare has been made
by the invention of the torpedo, and it
has become essentially necessary for a
great maritime power to guard against
this invention. Several schemes have
been suggested, such as surrounding
lron-clads with nets, giving them a con-
voy OF small gunboats, and so forth. But
these would SO cucumber the movements
of the vessels, and diminish their speed,
that they would be practically unavail-
able.
The latest proposal is to meet explo-
sive force by light. There are two sorts
of torpedoes, shallow-water mines laid
down for defense upon the ground in
depths varying from three to forty
fathoms, and the torpedo launch and
locomotive mine for deep sea attack. 1t
is the latter which is so formidable. 1t
is launched by skilled engineers, under
cover of darkness, and ii successfully
laid may prove the destruction of the
most powerful monitor at1oat. 1t IS now
proposed to have Gordon of light
around ships, which, while the surround
ing water would be Illuminated, would
keep the ships themselves in darkness.
1t is stated that within the last few
weeks an adaptation of Holmes distress
signal has been invented, which will an
swer the required purpose. It is fired
from mortars at ranges varying from five
hundred to two thousand five hundred
yards. 1t emits very powerful white
light directly it comes into contact with
the water, and when once ignited is alb.
solutely inextinguishable either by vino
or water, and burns with an extraordi-
nary persistency for thirty or forty
minutes. Half dozen of these shots
would surround vessel with a zone Of
light that would render it impossible fol-
an enemy to approach without the Ger
tainty Of detection and destruction.

Killed by the Sting Of a Bee.

A distressing event occurred at Lyd-
ney recently, and was the subject OF
coroner's inquiry on the following day,
viz, the death of Henry Larkham, ST.,
a retired farmer, from the sting of bee.
It appeared from the evidence given
before Mr.. M. +. Carter, divisional cor
oner, that at about five O clock Mr..
Larkham was in his sons garden, and on
passing in front of the beehives, received
q sting upon the temple. The old gen.
tleman at once returned to the house,
aud asked young man named Lloyd to
fetch the blue bag, which was done, and
the liquid blue was applied Lloyd like
wise, at the request of Mr.. Larkham,
took an egg from his pocket which he
had gathered from anest. Upon sitting
down in the yard, Mr.. Larkham had
tainted, and was bathed with vinegar
and water. This, however, proved a
powerless restorative, death superven-
ing within quarter of an hour after the
sting. DIR. Gimblett was called at the
inquiry, and stated that he had been
sent for, but deceased died before hecould
reach the honse. He had since ex-
amined the body, and found u wound
upon the right temple inflicted bya bee.
This it was which caused death. Upon
this testimony the jury returiihd their
verdict, @

BlOOd-Drinking.
LATBtA.

The efficacy of blood-drinking for con-
sumptive, nervous and dyspeptic in
valids is being freshly heralded to the
public by st. Louis paper. A visit to
the suburb of Butchertown revealed
to the reporter that during the year a
considerable number of persons, mainly
consumptives, frequent the shambles to
partake of this remedy, and several
prominent physicians of the city certify
their belief in its beneficial effects. At
one time five or six patients were taking
this strange medicine at one of the larger
slaughter-houses, and it is said that after
the first nausea and aversion were over
come their desire for the nourishment
was intense. But the initiation is very
hard, the scent to nervous person
being shocking one, which has to be
repeated quite often ere it becomes
familiar. The oxen are dragged in by a
windlass, knocked in the head and then
" stuck. AS the current of life floods
from the cash, the cups OF vessels are
held to receive it, and it is drank in
stantly, with all the warmth of healthy
vital action upon it. In this way alone
it renders good, and as may be readily
imagined it requires some exercise of
nerves to indulge in the operation. The
taste for blood when once acquired, how
ever, does entirely away with the nausea
which attends its first use. It is sweet
In taste, resembling fresh milk, and the
patient desires it quite as much as a
strong, healthy person would q good
meal when hungry. 1t is far from being
unpalatable, and a moderate fondness
for it is acquired in a comparatively
short time. One physician finds that it
is not necessary to subject his patients
to the repulsive surroundings of the
slaughter-house, but places the freshly
drawn blood in a steam-warmed bottle
and then in a can filled with hot water,
conveying it as quickly as possible to
the drinker. He has effected q number
of cures by this means, and is of the
opinion that when consumption is treat
ed in this manner it's progress can be
arrested unless the disease has made
most serious inroads upon the lungs. 1t
has also been found most efficacious in
cases of wasting of nervous fiber, atrophy
and marasmus. Another class of patients
gain strength from inhalation and alb
sorption of the peculiar particles which
abound in the atmosphere of the slaugh-
ter-house. This peculiar and impalpable
process is undoubtedly the means by
which butchers acquire such exceptional
health and wonderful strength. These
patients merely sit in the apartment for
an hour or two at time in the morning
and afternoon.
