norary, 1t is scientifically described.
De Vogue believes its origin was
IN A. ID. $40, by the Emperor Justinian,

the tact that they had no church, and

NOTES.
Tom Thumb is q Knight TempIar.
He Is the shortest Knight in the world
shorter even than the night of the

Ii appears that all the Communicates
Of Knights Templar in San Francisco
are crowded with work and holding
special meetings two or three times a
week. This is in authorization ofthe an
preaching Triennial Conclave. 1t is TO
be hoped, however, that the matter
Will not oe overdone in the way of in

We notice in looking over the cata-
lOgue Of rare and curious books pub
lished by Carlton Mccarthy & Co, of

The Masonic Orphan Asylum of Ok
ford, North Carolina, now cares for $50
orphans. Up to December, 1881, 62S
orphans had been admitted. The
Grand Lodges Of Connecticut, Californ-
ia and New Hampshire are moving in
the direction of establishing Masonic
Homes, and the Craft in Pennsylvania
have likewise taken the initiative in
this laudable direction. The Masonic
Widows and Orphans Home, OF Louis

One of the most important offices of
a Lodge, Chapter, or Commandery is
that which is filled by the Tyler Guard,
or Sentinel. He is to know and well
come the brethren with becoming Ma
sonic fellowship and grace. He is to
see at a glance the sojOurner, and cause
him to feel at home, until the commit

animation. He is to anticipate all ar
raugementS for the comfort of the
occasion; and it is wonderful To what
extent his presence and tone are availa-
bic for the pleasure OF all who enter the
outer doors into his apartments. II is
an important office, and the Office is
brother of great influence. A Tyler has
purchased TO himselfa good degree"
To no officer should the brethren pay
more respect, and by that respect paid,
a good and efficient officer will be edu-
Gated.
