THE Gallipolis Journal says of the B. P. o.
Elks: This is an order the coming of which our
city may well be proud. The noble and grand
principles of the order make it welcome in
every community. 1t is friend to the widow
and orphansth needy and distressed, carrying
out the tenets of Christianity. Its social char
acteristlcs essentially distinguish it. Its
members believe in making life pleasant and
social sessions for both Gentlemen and
ladies, to which all are compelled to contribute
their part in the way of speech, song, dance or
whatever they may be called upon TO perform.
The groundwork of the order is the "Golden
Rule" with it's motto as follows: "fhe faults
of our brothers we will write on the sand; their
virtues on the tables of love and memory"

General A. L. Pearson, National Commander

terestiDg information. The Advisory Commit
tee on State of the Legion is announced. The
list includes 81 names, among which are the
following: George s. Gallupe, Pittsburg; w.
H. Graham, Allegheny; M. w. johnson,

Falls, Pa; DR.. ]. l. Crawford, Greensburg,

the following new encampments have been
mustered: No. 33, Dennison o., Colonel Com

town, Ia, Colonel Commander. John X. Rob
inson. General A. L. Pearson says:
The National Commander desires to express
his thanks for the high honor conferred by
again unanimously electing him to the COM
mand of the Legion. The success of the past
year has been all that could be expected A
year ago 10 encampmentS appeared upon the
rolls, to-day 81 are prospering, and number of
new ones almost ready for muster. Does this
not indicate that the veterans of the late war
have not forgotten the long and arduous
service they experienced in the past? While
they extend fraterDal greetings to all who wore
the blue, yet to those who entered the service
alone through patriotism feeling of brother
hood exists that can only be severed by death.
The U. V. L, IS established. Its foundation is
secure 1t has come to stay. While there may
be some who question the propriety of our or
gan1zat1On. yet, upon examination it will be
found they are not eligible to membership"

clans.

MAKING STRANGERS ACQUAINTANCE.
If you admire an actor or actress, and wish
to meet him or her, as the case may be, simply
to exchange few words and express your ad-
miration to the object of it, what means should
you employ, and is such a favor usually ac-
corded anyone who may ask it? EDWIN.
Emphaucally do not employ any means to
bring such an end about. 1t would be vulgar
and pert. If you chance to meet an actor or
actress in society,", express the pleasure you
have felt in seeing them act but do not seek
themi do not devise means to meet them, for
this would be lacking in self respect and the
retieence that becomes young woman.

endar for 1889, issued by the WIN
CHESTER REPEATING ARMS Co., of
New Haven, Conn 1t Is fifteen inches
wide by twenty-tbree in length, and
contains three original colored illustra-
tons by the celebrated artist. Mr.. A.
b. Frost. Either would delight the
heart OF sportsman, but the prin-
cipal picture is n hunting scene, to
which the artist has devoted his best
efforts. There are evidences of a
hand to hand conflict between Il hunt
er and bear--a broken gun stock, n
torn jacket, blood on the snow. Re-
Treating. the hunter has stumbled over
n fallen tree, but retains n firm grasp
on his knife. The bears attitude il
superb. 1t would be difficult TO con-
ceive q more iDfuriate animal. He
stands over his fallen foe, claws ex-
tended, his month wide open the color
of an anarchists flag. But help Is mt
hand. and Just in the nick of time.
The calendar proper is large, and
shows the day Of the week and month
and also the moons phases Holt
days are printed in red. This calen-
dar, packed in a strong tube, will be
sent to any of our readers upon re.
eeipt of four cents to cover postage.

The rosy description of the efficien-
OF tho postal service. presented in the
report of Postinaster-G Dickin-
son, does not harmonize with the facts
set forth in the figures contained in
the same document. For instance.
while the postoffice business has in
erea.ed only % per cent since 1885, the
errors due to ignorance and negligence
have increased more than rs per cent.
As examples, the errors checked by
railway postal clerks numbered I ,752,
$40 In 1885, and 8, 121, 594 in 1888; the
Dead Letter Office received 4,SOS. las
in 1888. and 6,2l7,s76 pieces in 1888;
while the errors OF postisasters, which
nrnubpred AS, 72O in 1885, increased to
zO6s sOS in 1898. The postmaster grn-
er,t, in IRIS report, assures the public
that the postal service is more efficient
than ever before, but he world hardly
have done so IL he had first consulted
the figures prepared for the document
by his official subordinates. The
flSurts can't lie, and they set a worthy
example for Brother Dickinson.

The Publishing ana fatont Smcca
Of the Scientific American.
Perhaps some Of our readers have
visited she extensive Offices Of the Sci-
entfe Am>rioan. at 36i Broadway,
New York. but many have not, and
to such the following account may be
of interest. A correspondent who re-
Gently had this pleasure informs ms
that he was greatly surprised at the
magnitude of the establishment. 1t
suggested to his mind an enormous
insurance company or banking house.
At the main office, which Is principal
ly devoted to the patent business
forming as Il does so important part
of the estabIishment-may be seen the
members of the firm and their able
corps of examiners. Ready access to
the principals is afforded to every one;

all parts of the country showing their

the inventors form large and inter
esting collection, and are kept in
room by themselves. The large corps
of draughtsinen who prepare the pat
ent drawings are for the most part ex-
perienced mechanics, electricians, or
engineers, some of them having been
connected with the U. s. Patent Of
fee. Most of the correspondence Is
carried on by type-writers, and this
necessitates q separate department,
where a number of experienced female
type writer's and stOnosraptIvrs are
constantly employed. The dark room,
where the photographs of the patent
drawings are copied. and where the
photographs for the architectural de-
partipent are developed, is also on
this floor. On the floor above may be
found the editorial rooms, compositors'
and subscription room, and the engav-
ers' department.
The Architectural Department occu-
pies the top floor, and here may be
seen the manager of this department,
and also a number of draughtsmen al

designs for the architect and Builder
