ODD FELLOWS READING.

There never should be a quarrel in
a lodge of Odd Fellows, and there
never would be but for bullet headed
aess and lack of t.ae Odd Fellowship.
Grand Master Pool continues to re-
gain his health and strength and his
ph ysician now assures him that by the
middle of December he will be able to
resume his professional duties. The
interest manifested in him and the
many expressions Of sympathy from the
members Of the order have been very
gratifying to the Doctor. He has q
strong hold upen the affections OF his
brethren.-News & Observer.
BE CAREFUL. In the rapid forward
movement that Odd Fellowship is
making in North Carolina. there is one
point of danger which must be careful
ly guarded. Don't be so anxious to
swell your membership, as that you
will not closely scan and carefully con
siler the fitness of the candidate and
his worthiness to become an Odd Eel
low, and unless you are willing to take
him by the hand and call him brother
anywhere. be sure to use the black
ball. Remember always that the quail
isy of a lodge is not to be judged by
the number on its roll but rather by
the character of its work and the calibre
of those who compose it.-Falcon.
Show us q locality where Odd Fel-
lowship is not prosperous, says an ex-
change. and we will show you a town
where the order is in the hands Of in
competent men. Odd Fellowship is
necessarily progressive, but it does
not claim to put life and activity where
it does not exist. Brothers who take
no interest in the literature of the or.
der, no interest in its teachings, in fact
no interest in the order itself, may
bear its label, but they are NO mere
Odd Fellows than a COW called Maud
s. is a race horse. In Odd Fellowship
as elsewhere to do good work activity,
intelligence and education are indis.
psnsable. 1t is just as impossible for
ignorance and Incidence to be proficient
in Odd Fellowship as it is in the arts
and sciences. If you would be good
Odd Fellows, read up and 60 to work.

HABITS OF MONKEYS.

They Are 0roGoEi0us and Like to Live
Together In . Troop.
Iregret TO say that one of my earliest
mentors in sport taught me to shoot
wild monkeys for the sake Of their
able soft racquet shoes. But soon
abandoned the evil practice; and in
after times did what I could to make
up TO the monkeys for this unkindness.
I hstter myself that I once saved the
life Of . large oursng-outang in the
Calcutta Zoo. He was big, ugly fell
low, all covered with red hair. He had
got out Of his house and WAS walking
about the gardens, when he was seen
BY some casual workmen. who were
much frightened, and began to throw
bricks 1t him and strike ct him with
big sticks, and probably they would
have hunted him to death. Luckily I
appeared on the scene, and. ordering
the crowd to stand back. I went for.
ward and offered the ourang-outang my
hand. He Immediately took hold Of
my wrist and we walked OF together
to his house. rather comical looking
pair / fancy, and no gladly took refuge
indoors He was really very tame, and
would always eat grain out Of the palm
Of my hand, holding my wrist tightly
with his hand till the grain WAS I'm
ished.
Some Of the ourang-outangs that We
had were 70 tame that they used to b
let out loose In the gardens until the
hour when the public began to arrive.
But they did much mischief to our
tree& For 1t was their pleasure to get
up the trunk Of . tree and break OF
some Of the branches and make for
themselves . platform TO sit upon. II
they had been content with ono tree IL

whom the leaves Of the shady bower
that they had built began to wither
away and give insufficient protec-
ton from the sun. they COM
menced TO build . now house and
70 ruin another tree. They were very
sensitive Of the heat Of the sun. Ny
particular friend mentioned above had
the misfortune to lose his wife, lady
OF much darker color and rather larger
than himself. and. IL IL IL not too rude

was very fond Of her. and Of their baby.

LEARNING 10 BREATHE. terer has dim
Guilty in producing vocal sound. The
stammerer has the power OF producing
vocal sound whenever he wishes. but he
fails to properly srticulate words. A
sufferer has no trouble in calculating
words, providing the vocalizing organs
act normally. In one sentence, stutter-
ing is . refusal of the voice with perfect
organs of speech. but stammering Is .
defective articulation caused by habit or
imperfect organs Of speech.
Tie first exercise Of this method II In
simple calisthenics-an outward, for
ward and downward movement Of the
arms. This develops the muscles Of the
chest and upper part Of the body. but IL

the will of the pupil . stronger COM

is in better trim to sttempt control over
the refractory ones which cause tho do
Iect in his speech.
After this exercise has been repeated
several times the pupil inhales deep
breath, goes through the movement
once and then exhaleo with - much
evennesa OF force as possible. Tho next
exercise is designed to give dexibility
to tho respiratory muscles and strength
On and aid in the control Of tho dia-
phragm. Tho pupil draws in . long
breath. places his hands upon his sides.
with bis arms akimbo. and then gently
swsys his body to the right Left. forward
and backward. ~-4
Another exercise renders the muscles
Of the throat and neck moro flexible.
The pupil slowly bends his head from
side TO side. forward and backward.
Besides these simple movements there
,srs n,aay more that are used In obstin-
ate cases. Health lifts. rope and weight
chest expanders and various movements
such a. placing the palms Of the hands
upon tie wall and slowly letting the
chest come in contact with the wall and
then pushing Il back into an upright po-
sition.
After these have been finished the
pupil takes bis drst respiratory exercise.
This consists in placing tho hands upon
