An Inquiry as to Our Flag.
Which is the correct form: "St

Which is the correct form: "Stars
and stripes" or ''stripes and starsl"
Logically, ''stripes and stars" is the
correct form; the act of Congress of
April 4, 1918, by which our present flag
is authorized, declares that ''the flag of
the United States be thirteen horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white, that
the Union be twenty stars, white on a
blue field; and that, on the admission of
new State into the Union, one star be
added to the union of the flag" From
this it is evident that the stripes are the
more important, and that therefore they
should precede. But custom has ordained
that the stars shall precede the stripes;
and as neither name is Official for the
flag it doesn't make bit Of difference.

THE EGG PROBLEM.
NEGLECTED MINE OF IN
LIMITED WEALTH.
Valuable Qualities Of the Product
The Cost of Supply-Capacity
of Hens-Etc.

Professor Simmonds has recently been
lecturing in England upon the uses and
production of eggs, and the London
Standard thus refers to the subject:
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-01-14

plenty of farms inlet at present which
might quite suitably be utilized for fowl
fattening and egg producing. The grain
growing farmer does not care much for
tiocks of hens, geese and turkeys about his
place. They destroy, he declares, more
than they are worth. But in numerous
instances the soil of some of the English
land going out of cultivation is too indiffer-
ent for wheat or barley, but yet admirably
fitted for the purpose indicated.
Many tracts of the Highlands which are
good neither for sheep nor for game might
be utilized for fowl-rearing, with chance of
of greater profit than from growing oats.
In some parts of Surrey and Sussex fowl
fattening for the London market has re-
Gently increased, but producing seems
still much where it was. Nor is there any
enterprise displayed in obtaining the best
layers, for the greatest possible difference
exists in the size and quality of British
eggs. A fowl which lays 300 per annum is
exceptional. But even in Invernesshire
l35 to $50 eggs per annum are common
return for single hen. A score of Irish
eggs weigh under two pounds, while the
| same number of Dorkings scale six ounces
more. These are facts which ought to en-
| courage our home growers.

NEGRO FREE MASONS.
Why They are Regarded as Irregular b
the White Fraternity.

the white Fraternity.
The celebration of st. Johns day by the
colored Free Masons, says the St. Louis
ReDu6tican, brings forward the question of
their relations with the white representa-
tives of the Order. Rev. John d. Vincil
and J. II. Deems, two of Missouri's most
prominent members of the Masonic frater-
nifty, were yesterday interviewed by Re
publican reporter, who wished 10 know why
colored men, claiming to be Masons, were
considered irregular. Said DIR. Vincii
The only question that can be consid-
cred in reference to the matter is the legit-
imacy Of negro lodges 1t is not a ques-
ton of color or race, but of legality"
" Is Masonry color blind ?" was asked.
" Not to the fact that negro lodges are
irregular and clandestine," replied the
doctor.
"Why do you consider negro lodges
irregular p was the next query.
" Because, before they can be otherwise
considered, they must receive their charter
from the Grand Lodge of that jurisdiction.
Should any Grand Lodge attempt to Gre
ate lodge in any jurisdiction but its own,
such lodge is not regularly chartered, and
consequently, if as the negroes claim,
they receive their charter from the Grand
Lodge of England, that fact, ii, indeed, it
be fact, does not entitle them to be re-
garded as regularly initiated Masons."
The reporter next called upon j. II.
Leems, when the following colloquy took
place:
Reporter-What Is the general opinion
in regard TO the negro Masons?
"Oh, we look upon them as being mem
bers of irregular lodges, and regard them
as clandestine Masons," was the reply.
"Then you do not recognize them? ?"
Certainly not. They are not recog-
nized by members Of properly constituted
lodges in this or any other State 1t is a
fallacy to suppose that negro lodges are
properly constituted, because they have
never been regularly chartered by any
Grand Lodge"
Is it not generally understood that
the negroes obtained their authority for
forming lodges from the Grand Lodge of
England ?"
"That idea is by no means universal,
and, assuming it to be true, what right had
the Grand Lodge of England to deal with
matters beyond its own jurisdiction |
have heard that the charters which were
supposed to have been granted to the ne
groes have been recalled, and that the
negro lodges refuse to surrender the au-
thority which was inadvertently vested in
them, but | can not vouch for the accu-
racy of the statement"
