wife. The formulated charge WAS enter
ed "Unbecoming levity." The gentle.
man accused had been from home several
weeks on business, and on his return be

so shocked at such levity in the house Of
God that the gentleman was arraigued
on the above charge, and escaped dis
missal from tbs church by agreeing to do
his kissing at home in the future.

The Grand Court ball takes place next
Tuesday evening at Woods Hall.
This is election week In u great many

A circular has been sent by the Grand

Courts. IN reference to q scheme orgau-
lzed under the name of 1.-The Foresters'

d The scheme is without any Off

had all the appearance of a fraudulent
organization, the plan of which has been
"emphatically disapproved" by the S1-
preme e. c. Further investigation is to
be made, and iii the meantime all mem
oers or the Order are duly warned to
place no confidence in the scheme. This
is an era of fake benevolent organization

De Maupassant's Butterflies.

A sad account Of M. Guy de Maupas-
SAINTS hallucinations is forwarded by a
Paris correspondent, who, however. sees
in them some evidence of i'm Improvement in
the authors mental condition, inasmdcb
as they indicate some consciousness on
his own part Of his brain trouble. He
asks what has chased away his ideas.
Somewhat he fancies that they come back
to him in the shape of butterflies
of different forms, colors and sizes.
The black butterflies signify that
friends have died, and that
others are in mourning. The pink
ones tell him to cheer up, the yellow ones
bid him still hope for glory, and the blue
ones assure him that he is not to suppose
that the font of poesy is entirely dried up.
Green butterflies are regarded as messen-
gers who have come to tell him to 60 aud
stay In the grounds of the asylum where
he is lodged. He sometimes starts up to
hun these butterflies, and spends hours
in trying to catch them. The exercise he
thus taxes does him more good than any
thing else. The hallucination of the
sight is, however. thought by ONE
specialists a bad symptom. The butter
flies may be heraids of brain paralysis.

viate troubles of this sort by establishing
a fund to aid courts whore funds have
been depleted by the heavy drain for sick
and funeral benefits, 1t does incalcuia-
BILE injury to an order to have suits of

slider that the compilers were handi-
capped. in as mnch as they could not get
too far away from the beaten path of the
order without causing considerable dis
~turbances, and improvements come
slowly, and the law makers of the order
must move with caution. The new ritual
gives room for short ceremonies n
long ones, which is an excellent idea, as
both have their w opportunities. In
case any official should be derelict in his
duties in providing the new work for his
court, such court should Immediately
communicate with the Grand Secretary
and have thus forwarded at once.
The big event next week will be the
annual ball of the Executive Council Of

been fixed at 500, 900, divided into 1900
shares, at $25. 20. These shares are pay
able at the rate of $l.90 per month elcn.

shares of stock, thus assuring the success
of the undertaking.

The origin of the custom of burying
people with their heads to the west is
unknown. From ages back races in all
parts of the world have buried their dead
with their heads to the west; not fnvaria-
ably, however, but with great uniform
ity. Prabably the remote origin lies in
the belief of an immortality and a resur
r~ection. typiied by the return OF the sun
every morning. The dead are buried so
