Costly experience has led to the conclu-
sion among insurance men that iron beams
as protection against fire are delusioM
and a snare. Their tendency to bend
with intense heat and bring down in total
ruins all the rest of the structure has been
frequently illustrated. Accordingly, in
one of the largest buildings now in pro-
cess of erection in New York, thick
wooden floor-beams are laid, one foot
between centres, and the interstices filled
with cement. \ solid floor two feet in
thickness is thus made, which, it is
believed, will resist the action of fire
longer than any material hitherto em-
ployed' With brick walls three feet thick
and stairs built of slate, the owner regards
the fabric as approaching very nearly to an
absolutely iire-proOf condition.

Congressman Belford, of Colorado, has
a very thin voice, almost inaudible across
the House, and a nine-year-old son with
an enterprising Western spirit. The other
day Mr.. Belford tried in vain to make
the Speaker hear him in order to offer a
bill. Little Sam bore the situation as
long as he could with composure, then
darting forward to the area in front of the
Speakers desk, his figure, undersized for
hisage, but 1.-THE as grasshOpper, appeared
in full view before the Speaker, and he
called out amid the din; General Keifer,
General Keifer! don't you see my papa. S

reminder, and promptly saw" the mem
ber from Colorado, who was permitted to
offer his measure. The little scene amused
the House, however little suited to the

The Grand Lodge mt HARRISBURG


At Wednesdays meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Penna., l. o. o. F., in annual
session at Harrisburg. the lodge proceeded
to consider the report of the finance com.
mittee on estimated receipts and expendi
lures for the ensuing year. The receipts
are placed at 81, ,425 by the committee,
are put down at 81, 429 80. The heaviest
amounts Of this sum are comprised in the
items for mileage, $1,000; salaries of Off
printing and postage, 81, 200.
Considerable time was expended in the
consideration of the report of the COM
mittee on the grand masters annual re
port, and the ten decisions contained
therein were, after consideration, ap
proved.
The net assets of the grand lodge
amount to $7,G7S.1S, at present, the bulk
of which outside of the cash balance in the
treasurer's hands, consists of the supplies
required for working purposes in the sub
ordinate lodges in our jurisdiction. 1t
was resolved that the per capita tax for
the ensuing year be fixed at ten cents per
term on each member, to defray the ex.
penses for the year ending May, 1883.
In the evening the session was devoted
to very exhaustive exemplification of the
secret work of the Order, by Past Grand
Sire James B. Nicholson, which was lis
tened to by about 900 past grands, mem
bers of the grand lodge.
The session was continued to Thursday
morning, and from tho amount of bust.
ness on the grand secretary's desk, it was
very evident that the greater part of the
day would be occupied.
