ITS OBJECT.

The idea of Odd Fellowship at the be-
ginning, instructive of wise providence
was. as has been already stated, mutual re-
lief and protection II was, it is true, q
erudely digested system, if system il could
be called. This idea, embodied into sub
stantial form. and disciplined by experience
| and observation, continues to be vital. al
though BY no means the predominant ele-
ment of its organization. 1t assumes. also,
as a cardinal office. an earnest and unlnter-
hitting care for the moral health of is mem
bership. Man has a moral as well as a phys
ical nature. and the wants Of each being re-
ciprocal, they keep equal pace and move IN
parallel lines. There is a mutual depend
ence which controls both. In truth, there is
no appetite of the human body more craving
and memorable. than is the insatiate hunger
OF the human heart for moral support. In
FIRMLY of body. ss well as OF mind, Is COM
mon TO humanity and there exists necessar-
ily as inseparable from this condition, a
corresponding natural desire for sympathy.
TO supply this ever recurring want. Odd
Fellowship addresses itself. by a combina-
ton OF efforts in aid OF the moral as well as
Of the physical man. These two aims, hap
PLY blended. comprehend its lever power
against PERJURY and vice, hy which i labor,
10 mitigate a. well "the ills to which all
flesh Is heir" as to elevate and ennoh.e our
nature.

State eighty-slx.
WHAT Is ODD FELLOWSHIP?
This question has doubtless presented il
self to many who know nothing of Odd-Fel-
lowship, except perchance from common re
port, or the vague suggestions Of morbid
prejudice hence 1t Is often condemned as an
idle organization, characterized, as its name
would seem to import, rather for levity than
for fidelity to the noble object at which it
Processes so earnestly and exclusively to
aim. To correct so common an error, to re-
move such unjust prejudiees, and to secure
for Odd Fellowship the approving senti-
ment it so well deserves, are the objects of
this brief paper. In the confidence of con-
scious merit, 1t courts scrutiny into its
principles and practices, with the assurance
that an enlightened public opinion will rem
der an impartial judgment on the standard
of excellence which pervades the one, and
the practical benefits that flow from the
other.

Kitchen knowledge.

"Never too old to learn" and here
are few of the things we have learn
ed at our house:
That if we wish to prolong our lives,
we should put one day between wash
ing and ironing.
That people who chew plenty of
good beef and eschew pork are sensi-
BILE.
That tough beefsteak may be made
eatable by mincing it pretty fine with
chopping knife, and cooking quickly
in a pot with close cover, to prevent
the steam from escaping.
That salt pork will be as nice, nearly
us fresh, if soaked in sweet milk and
water, equal parts.
That clabbered milk is better than
water for freshening salt fish.
That half pint of vinegar in the
water will make an old fowl cook near
ly as quick as young one, and does
not njure the flavor in the least.
That liver should be thrown into
boiling water after being sliced thin,
and then fried in lard OF dripping.
That pie crust will not be soggy if it
is brushed over with the white of egg
before the fruit is put in.
That q piece of cork is better than
cloth for applying brick to knives.
That ripe cucumbers make a good
sweet pickle.
That apples which take long while
to bake should have little water in
the pan.
Stoves blackened when entirely cold
will keep the clean look very great
deal longer than when they are polish
cd when the stove is warm.
Zinc can. be frightened by rubbing
it with kerosene oil, but it is much bet
ter to have it painted, as this will save
much labor.
After you may have swept your car
pets quite clean, you may brighten
them with flannel cloth wrung out
from beef's gall and water.
White paint may be cleaned as well
as windows, by using whiting and water,
while grained woodwork should be
wiped with flannel cloth wrung out
from cold tea.
Wash pantry shelves with hot alum
and water to rid them Of ants, water
bugs and other Troublesome insects

many times day without leaving the
house. Along the side of the engine
is rope that the engineer rings the
gong with when going to fire. When
they have a hitch-up at thirty-three
and don't go out, Bill waits till he's re-
leased from the tender and then goes
to the engine, seizes the rope and rings
the gong Ike pirate. That's his idea
Of fun. He learned the trick himself
Talking about intelligent animals
reminds me of thirty-one's Thomas
cat, which goes to every fire. In pleas
ant weather he jumps on the coil of
hose on the tender, and in chilly wealth
er he crawls into the ash-pan Of the en-
CINE. He never gets left, however cold
it is"
"Are the cats as intelligent as the
horses?"
81 can't say; but just happen to
think of truck No 5. They had dog
named Ginger that would 60 up and
down a ladder three stories tall rs
easily as fireman. Once they came
home from fire and missed Ginger.
They looked high and low, but got no
trace of him till some people living
next door to the house that was afire
came to the truck house and said that
there was dog on section of the
roof of the burned building. The men
got out their truck, went around to the
building and raised a ladder to the
roof, and Ginger came down rung by
rung."

OUR SEER IN A NEW ROLE.

The following telegram will be read
with intense interest by the many &C
uuaintances of Col. Blanton Duncan,
who is a resident of our city and not OF
Austin. Perhaps B. d. had his whls-
ky sent by way of Austin and the o. a
or some other old bourbon smelt it, and
melted the paid mental of the govern
ment to sleze it, and thus got both the
whisky and B. D. located in the
wrong town.
A DISGUISED LIQUOR DEALER.
Special to the Globe-Democaat.
Washington, January IA very
funny internal revenue case has arisen.
1t appears that Blanton Duncan has
moved from Louisville to Austin.
Texas, but though changing his resi-
dence, did not care to change his whls-
ky. He accordingly sent to whole
sale dealer in Louisville, and two pack
ages of thirty gallons were sent to B..
Duncan, Austin, Texas. An internal
revenue officer, on inspecting the
books of the Louisville house, found
the entry, and Immediately telegraphed
to the agent at Austin to see whether
B. Duncan was gong to use the whls-
XIV in the wholesale or the retail trade.
The Austin agent appears to have In
spected the matter to B. Duncan's dis
gust.
The latter wrote a furious letter to
Raum, asking the removal of both off,
GERS at Austin and Louisville. Raum
refused, and now Duncan has made
application to the president to not only
have the officers removed, but recon-
mends the removal of Raum as well.

DO GRAND JURORS PERJURE THEM
SELVES?

The Pamela Waterman asks: "Do
grand jurors peUure themselves when
they find indictments against parties
who, upon fair trial, are declared IN
innocent 2" and proceeds to remark
Upon our present system of criminal
jurisprudence, prosecuting attornles
get so much for each conviction, and
it IS believed, IN many instances at
least, that their desire to make money
out of the positions they hold, induces
them to unduly influence the grand ju-
ries in order that large number OF
bills may be found, and the larger the
number of bills the better chance the
prosecuting attorney has to make
money, because if this officer is dill
gent and able he will likely make a
good many of these bills of indictment
"stick," as they call it.
