most secret orders in the land. The
material of Pisgah Lodge is of the
best, and received much praise from
Grand Chancellor Meares. Three
old Knights deposited their cards
in the new lodge. We learn that
Pisgah bids fair to be rapidly built
up, and we wish it much success.
After the organization of the lodge,
the officers and members repaired

nice lunch was prepared, and
heartily enioved.

The rabbit plague in Australia is onIy
mild nuisance compared to the scourge
OF rats in some parts of Mexico, if a re-
cent report is to be trusted. II is
claimed that the rodents invade the
towns and ranches by countless thou
sands. and have in number of in
stances caused terrible conf1ag,afioDs
by getting into places where matches
are kept and firing buildings. Those
who have investigated the strange
plague say that all attempts at poison
ing seem to fail TO reduce the numbers.
The destruction wrought by them is
alarming. In many places people have
not slept more than two hours at a
time for weeks, but are kept contipu-
ally battling with rats OF enormous
sizes. They strike ranches in large b0-
dies and do not leave until thew have
eaten and destroyed all the grain about
the place. In many localities scientific
men have been endeavoring to account
for the presence Of so many agents of
destruction and to invent some means
fer reducing their numbers, but have
so far failed Times Democrat.
