AMERICAN LEGION OF HONOR.
Something About an Order Lately Become
Prominent.

Something About an Order Lately Become
Prominent.
In 1873 Mr.. Darius Wilson and others
started the American Legion of Honor in
Boston, according to The Sunday Herald of
that city. The objects of the order, as stated
IN the constitution, are:
TO unite fraternaIy aIwhite persons of
good moral character who are socially ac-
ceptable, and if for beneficial membership of
sound bodily health and between IS and 50
years of ago, and whose occupations and en-
Judgments are not extra hazardous. To give
all moral and material aid in its power to its
members and those dependent upon them.
To educate its members socially, morally and
intellectually To establish fund for the
relief of sick and distressed beneficial mem
bers. To establish a benefit fund, from
which, on the satisfactory evidence of the
death of a beneficial member of the order
who has complied with all its lawful require
ments, a sum not exceeding 5000 shall be
paid TO the family, orphans or dependents, as
the member may direct.
: The expense Of joining a council is from
IS to IS, with about 81 annual dues. Beside
this, there are the assessments for payment
of death benefits. The advantages Of mem
bership are those usually derived from fra
ternal order, in addition to death benefit
and sick benefit
Ten years ago there was but one council Of
tho Legion of Honor, with thirty-four mem
bers, but branches of this organization now
exist in nearly every state and territory, and
also find congenial soil in Ontario, New
Brunswick British Columbia and the Sand
wich Islands. Supreme Secretary Adam
WarLock gives the present membership Of
the order as about 5000 Among the officers
of a council is an orator, whose duty it is to
endeavor to entertain the members by deliv-
ering a lecture, reading paper or presenting
something of a moral, social or interesting
nature at each meeting.

Rev. Brother Fielder Israel, grand chap
lain of the grand lodge of Massachusetts,, and
one of the brightest of Masonic lights in New
England, recently died under the most pain,
full circumstances. He was a passenger on
the i'll fated steamer Maryland, when burned,
from which he barely escaped with his life.
He suffered in consequence from insomnia
and dementia; and finally in fit of insanity
cut his throat with a razor, and was found
dead in the study of the church of which he
was pastor at Salem, Mass. His loss will be
sincerely deplored, for he was held in the
highest fraternal regard. The deceased was
a descendant of Brother Israel Israel, who
was grand master of Masons in Pennsylvania
from 1902 to 1904.

Sorry for Her.

When Charley put on his first trousers he
was very proud. He strutted up and down
in front Of his mother almost crazy with de-
light. Then he burst out: "Oh, mamma,
pants make me feel so grandl Didn't it make
you feel grand when''- But an awful con-
seriousness came over him that this bliss had
never been shared by his mother, and he laid
his wee, chubby hand pityingly against her
cheek, saying, pathetically, ooh, poor NAM
mai poor mamma l"-Sunshine.

A MAGNIFICENT CATHEDRAL.

The Scottish Rite Cathedral at Cincinnati
Described.
Men who have visited all the principal
Masonic fanes claim that the Scottish rite
cathedral in Cincinnati, with its luxurious
parlors, commodious banquet halls, richly
decorated audience room and its various
sacred chambers, is unexcelled throughout
the world. This remarkable ediflce is situated
upon Broadway, between Fourth and Fifth
streets, and Presbyterian society formerly
occupied the building. When it was pur-
chased by the Masons three or four years
ago, its interior was refitted and embellished
IN the most sumptuous manner.

Tie Actual Cost of Membership Since
1873 Has Been but S277.
The actual cost to a member who joined
the order in 1878, and was then under the age
Of 45 years, has been for the fourteen years
and six months up to Jan. 1, 1888, S219 in
assessments, or an average of SIS. 10 per year,
says The Knights of Honor Reporter.
If to this sum we add 81 per year for lodge
dues the total cost to member for the four
teen and half years will have been S2T7, or
an annual cost Of 1855 per annum for each
$1,000 benefit.
0mitting the initiation fee and lodge dues
from the calculations, and it is only fair to dc
so, as each member has had the full value of
the amount 50 paid in social and fraternal
privileges and opportunities, and the cost of
the benefit has been about S7.55 per year
for each $1,000 benefit.

Indian Trsllers Of the southusat.

Tho tenAcity and endurance Of tn,
Indian trailers are proverbial. The,

ten employed by the civil officers of tn,
territory to recover convict' escaped
from the penitentiary. The exactnes'
with which every leaf is scanned, every
rock and bush examined, and the Close
scrutiny to which tho soil itself Is sub,
jected, together with their rapidity o!
movement and the absolute accuracy OF
their differences is, to say the least
startling. Seldom do they miss the
footprints, and then only when rains OF
violent sandstorms obliterate every trace.
They are as skilful in hiding their own
tracks as they are in uncovsring the in
dications OF others. The procedure on
losing trail is identical with that OF q
pack of well trained hounds. Starting
from the last clearly defined depression
they circle about until 1t is again found.
Then jogging along at an easy gait with
eyes fixed upon the ground they do moi
waver, despite discouragements Of every
kind, until the night has fallen or the
fugutive Is overtaken. They have a

Taxes on Salt

In every country where there has been
tax on salt cruelty and oppression
followed in its train. In France, under
the government monopoly known as the
gabelles, the law was most severe. In
the fifteenth century French history
shows that hundreds of men were exc
cuted for salt smuggling. In the time
of Louis XIV. almost every year saw
some three hundred salt smugglcrs sent
to the galleys for life. In China, where
salt is one of the most important sources
of imperial revenue, breach Of the salt
laws involves fearful penalties. The Of
Tenders are sometimes fsyed alive, their
smuggling juuks are confiscated and
sawn asunder, while crucified or i'm
paled boatman is dashed to the mast as
warning to Others. The Chinese jails
are full of men lingering or under trial
or in vain hope Of being brought to
trial for offences against tho state salt
monopoly.

MURDER WILL OUT.
A New Hampshire Crime Forty
Years Old Brought to Light.


About forty years ago German pedler
travelling from Piermont, N H., to Benton,
was murdered between North Haverhil and
the latter place. At the time it could not be
told whether murder had been committed
or not as no trace of the body could be
found. The rifled boxes containing valua-
BILE goods, were found, and the horse and
cart standing by itself pitched to tree in
lonely part of the woods. These circum-
stances pointed to crime, but nothing be-
yond diligent search for the missing man
was done. About ten years afterwards the
bones of human being were dug up near
the point where the team of the peder was
found, by working men while ploughing the
road Rings found on the fingers, engraved
with the name of the murdered man. served
to make Identification complete. SUSPICION,
which attached to several persons in the first
instance, grew doubly strong as additional
evidence in the shape of goods, known to have
been owned by the German turned up. No
action was taken, however, and the suspect
ed party, young, well-to-do farmer, sold
out and left the country. His name was
Alexander M. Greenough He drfted to
Canada, where after, residing for some
years in the vicinity Of Cowansville, Que,
he was driven out OF the province by threats
of arrest by Dominion officials on a charge
Of counterfeiting. From Canada he went to
Central America, and from there to Chill.
A few weeks ago he was taken violently ill
and expected to die. On what was supposed
to be his death bed he confessed to the muir
der of the German and pointed out where he
buried the body. The spot corresponds
with the location where the bones were
found. The strange part of the story is
that Greenough did not die, but recovered
and was placed in prison by the CHILEAN au-
thorities, where he committed suicide by
hanging himself in his cell with q towel

Wooden shoes, or sabots, are worn
now among the peasants in many coun-
tries in Europe. Their advantage is in
their cheapness and durability. In
France and Belgium are factories whore

some used among the scandinavian
settlers in the Northwestern States and
Territories that seem heavy and clumsy

where she was not expecting 1t the other
day, says the Minneapolis Tribune. 1t was
in liquor store, and the man who delivered
1t was the dispenser of sour mash and cognac.
The lady is not only firm Deliver in temper
ance principles, but prominent worker in
one of the prominent churches in the city, as
well known as any in the city. Under or
binary circumstances she would not use
brandy to season mince pies, but 1t was an
urgent case Of sickness and she wanted a.
good an article Of brandy as could be had,
She asked her physician where the best could
be found In the city, and was given the num-
Der of a prominent firm on Nicollet avenue.
As she was down town that morning she
went for it herself. The man who filed the
dask asked no questions, but looked curiously.

lady, as she took her change. II should not

Wild Bears.

According to the american Field, villa
bears have become very numerous in the
deep recesses of the Shawangunk Noun
tains, that border Orange and Sullivan
Counties, N. Y. They are the genuine
Black Forest wild bears of Europe, the
descendants of nine formidable and
ferocious bears and sows which Mr..
Ota Flock, of New York, imported
some few years ago for the purpose OF
annihilating the snakes and vermin that
infested his estate near the Shawangunk
Mountains. After the bears had eaten
up all the snakes and vermin in the in
closure, they longel for more, and dug
under the wire fencing and escaped to
the mountains, where they have since
bred and multiplied. They are so fero-
cious that the most daring hunter
is said to hesitate before attacking them.
They have immense heads, huge tusks
and shoulders, and lank hind parts.

Roumanian Gypsy Musicians.

An interesting feature OF the Paris
exhibition, says the London Telegraph,
will be the laoutari or gypsy musicians
whom the Roumanian committee has
brought to Paris. A few evenings ago
they delighted select company at a
soiree given by Nine. Edouard Herve,
the wife of the well.known Orleanist
journalist, and last night they carmel
golden opinions at private perform
ance to which they treated party of
very competent judges at the headquar-
tiers of leading Partisan newspaper.
The band is composed of about score
of members, not one of whom can read
note of music; yet the style in which
they played variety of their native
airs, throwing in Vicnnese waltzes and
scraps of operate music, perfectly
charmed their hearers. Violins and
stringed instruments of the either type
predominant in these gypsy bands,
but the piece de resistance is species OF
pan-pipes, in the manipulation of which
they are remarkably proficient, 1t
is from their earliest childhood, even
before they can speak distinctly, that
these musicians begin to be initiated by
their progenitors into the mysteries Of
their art, the talent being hereditary in
certain families. In their native coun'
try they are in high request in the cafe
gardens on summers evening; at fairs,
and on festive occasions like weddings,
though they also figure at funerals. The
music of the Roumanian laoutari is more
weird than that of the Hungarian
tzigans and is probably heard to the
best advantage among the mountains Of
Pennsylvania, the minstrcls of the HILLS
being less affected by surrounding in
fuences than their brethren of the

How Often to Feed.

How often should animals DO fedi
This is a matter Of importance, as feed
ing involves considerable labor. As a
rule, feeding quickly forms habit, and
animals will become accustomed to
whatever manner may be adopted SO
long as the digestive functions are not
disturbed. Two meals daily, at inter
walls of twelve hours, are quite sufficient
and are probably better for the animal,
giving the digestive organs full time
for the performance of their functions,
than three at intervals of six hours in
the day and twelve in the night. There
is no doubt that any herl or flock will
thrive just MS we'll with two feeds in the

MOSQUITOES Depopulate Florida Keys.

SAYS that not domestic animal can

swarms of mosquitoes, sand flies, deer
flies, red bugs and ants. Man, when he

dressed in thick canvas cloth and have
hi, hands, face and neck carefully
swathed in gloves and wells. On Lost
Mans Key, where few persons engage
in banana and pineapple culture, not
even hen can exist for twenty -four
hours. The clouds of mosquitoes some
times obscure the sun.
