1t is anticipated that the new ritual,
adopted at the last supreme lodge eonven-
ton, will be received by the subordinate
lodges on or before Jan. /, 1898, as the new
officers then assume their duties. IL seems
Important that the new work should then
be In their hands, If not before, as other

upon the old, which will soon be discarded

Some Reasons Why the Order Should
Succoed-Notes.
The order succeeds because il was
founded for benevolent purpose; it has
never deyiated from that purpose; its bust
ness policy is both conservative and pro
gressiye, and the expense of management
very low; il il extremely careful in the
selection Of new members; it promptly
fulflls every fraternal and financial oDli-
CATION as fast rs they mature.
Bro. Westcott, the efficient head of the
order in New York state, appeals to the
brotherhood and wisely says: Has not the
Royal Arcanum at some time, in some
way, done you good and benefited your II
30, try in measure to pay that debt by
attending council meetings. Go and help
the few faithful ones who have been con-
Quoting the business for you. Your pres
ence alone will do much to encourage the
officers"
The objects Of the order are fraternal
union; aid to members and their depend
ents; education Of its members, assistance
OF widows and orphans of diseased mem
bers; relief Of sick and distressed members;
payment Of death benefit of 5000 to full
and Il, 800 to half rate members

INE,ANTA EuLALIE.

After all the uneasIness felt by WARD
McALLIsTER and other leaders of four
hundreds. as to how to entertain the
infanta of Spain satisfactorily, she
proves to be princess Of remarkable
adaptability, and announces that she
prefers to be entertained in true Amer
lean fashion, intlmatjng that no i'm
perial customs need be affected. She
has come to see this country, and is
glad to be considered the guest of the
American people, and to be entertained
as the people of this country entertain
each other. She does not even reserve
to herself the privilege of debating her
movements, but says that she is de-
lighted to follow the arrangements laid
out for her by this government.
The princess not only displays the
perfection of breeding. but uncon-
sciously makes for herself very warm
place in the esteem of Americans. She
has unconsciously done another thing
which will cause a good-sized ripple OF
applause to pass over America; she
went straight to Washington to be pre-
sented to the American executive and
government, instead OF going first to
New York, to be closeted in the eXclu-
sive circle of the 400 funkies, apes, snobs
and parvenues.
WARD MCALLIsTER had planned to
show to her how far up he and his 400
are upon the customs Of royalty. 1t
would not do to let her know that the
400 would think of such thing as en-
tertaining guest at a hotel; so he
planned to rent private house. There
the princess was to be taken and kept
prisoner, to enjoy no other society but
the 400. The princess has proved to be
vastly greater than the estimate of Mr..
MCALLIsTER, and everybody is rejolced
to see this funky'S hopes vanish into
thin air.
The infanta's start out here is so emf
nently satisfactory to everybody that
we may expect to see her the subject of
ovation everywhere. She will ENJOY it
all. She indicates that she is more
anxious to throw off restraints while
here than to have them tightened about
her.
There is prospect that she will visit
st. Paul when she leaves Chicago. But
there is no occasion for any furry here
over the matter; all that st. Paul peo-
pie should attempt to do is to meet her
in the American way.

TEMEDITY OF CAPITAL.

In the days of the greenback frenzy
some Infected orator denounced gold
and silver as the cowardIy metals that
ran away and hid when the bullets be-
gan to fly, and left the noble and patrl-
otic greenback to fight out alone the
salvation of the Union; and he urged
that both the metals be branded as de-
Serters and be drummed out of the
financial camp Of the nation in disgrace.
And in somewhat the same strain we
hear and read of the timidity of capital;
how conservative it is; how slow to en-
gage in enterprises; how quick to take
alarm it is.
The truth is that capital is the most
ventureSome OF our industries. 1t is
the most speculative thing in existence.
Its occasional enormous losses do not
deter it from entering again into
schemes that hold out aIluring pros
poets of great gains. Not only is this
the case in this country, W here the proc
eSses of development offer extraordinary
inducements, and where the speculator
seems to be an indigenous product of
thing in the staid countries of the old
world, where age has taken away the
spirit of venture and replaced it with
the steady going conservatism of ma
turity.
German investors poured their money
into the earlier railroad enterprises OF
this country, and exchanged their gold
for experience with the American
sharper. One generation Of English
men went wild over the securities the
Turk offered them, and the golden tide
went out from the tight little isle into
the lap of the ''sick man," and England
has played nurse to him ever since.
Learning nothing by experience, the
surplus boards of England went next
into Egyptians in pursuit of visionary
gains, and England has been admins
tering the affairs of that country ever
since. Then came the Argentines and
the Australian provinces and the Pana-
ma crazes of capital. into which it went
| with madcap ventureSOmeness, and
from which It came with pockets
crammed with worthless shares and de-
| bentures, Sadder, but none the wiser,
and ready for another campaign as
soon as its finances could be mobilized.
The history of the industriaIs,as these
wild schemes are misnamed, goes to
prove the rashness Of money. They
were simply ingeniously planned
schemes of robbery; not Of the invest
ors, but of the people who consumed
the wares they were based on. Given a
law which precluded. or minimized, out
side competition, a combination of the
inside producers, and an article of con-
stant and necessitous consumption, and
the factors seemed safe for illimitable
profits. Minor, but potent, factors of
administration were ignored, and cap
ital rushed greedily to the feast. The
inevitable crash came, and capital

LESS SLOBBER. MORE BUSI-
NESS.

That prince of the makers of bicycles,
Col. ALBERT Pope. is working all the
old rackets to extend the sale of his
wares and those in the combination, in
stead of adopting the eOmmon-senSe
methods of legitimate trade. He has
flooded the country with speciouS ap-
peals to legislatures for laws compelling
The construction of good roads in the
country. He has had conventions neld
and magazine articles written, and all
the customary tricks used to create a
public sentiment. Under the thin mask
of disinterestednesS was the selfish de-
sire to extend the field of use of the
"bike." Some state now proposes to tax
the bicycles as vehicles, and the colonel
is out promptly in protest against it,
in which the poor laboring man is played
for the puppet. If "bikes" are taxed, it
will discourage the poor artisans from
using them in their flights between
home and shop, and they will have to
plod their weary way to and fro, instead
of gliding gracefully, easily and rapidly
along.
There is one way, and only one, in
which the colonel and his fellow COM
Diners can extend Indefinitely the use
of their wheels, and it will require
nothing more of them than the sacrifice
of their greed for abnormal pr0fts.
Reduction in price always results in
increase of consumption. Each reduc-
ton reaches larger circle of possible
consumers. There was a time when
calico dresses were worn only by the
wealthy. 1t was only the rich that

Hairless Dogs, Lazy Bees, Little
Whales, Stupid Foxes, Etc.
Perhaps no birds spend more Of their
lives 'on the wing than parrots and
pigeons, the latteri being also among
the most graceful and rapid of the IN
habitants of the air. In New Zealand a
species of parrots is found that, finding
its food on the ground, has lost the
power of flight. 1t differs from the rest
of its family only in this, says writer
III Sports Atield.
Among recent breeds Of pigeons is the
parior tGmbler, which has not only lost
Ivy nf flight, but has very nearly lost
THAI o! walking as well. Its queer mo-
ti0ns when it attempts to walk have
given to it its name--the tumbler.

a BIRD STORY.
A Liberated Lark Returns to Its
Captor and Cage.

London Spectator
[ nope, although the incident may be
trivial. that the little tact may interest
your readers as much as it did myself
when | was listening, some nights ago,
to the little lark, of whom my story tells,
piping away in what the poets call
"dulcet strains" of the most melodious
music.
My friend, James Shanock, three
years go caught a young lark. and it has
been pouring out its song ever since
then from its cage, and very sweet
note it is
Some little while ago, as the afternoon
was sunny, the cage was hung outside in
the garden at the moment another lark
was caroling in tie air, and Shanock's
bird rose from the cage, which was only
covered with fine net, and in which
there must have been a rent, and disap-
peared in the direction of the other
lark. My friend, seeing this, at once
began to whistle, holding up the cage to
attract his pet back again, and in very
short time down it came to his feet, and
waited patiently while he gently re-
placed him in his cage. There were
three witnesses, l believe, in this case.
The funniest thing, too, is that about
the same time James ShanOck's cat
brought him in little bird quite deli
cately and waited for him to take it
from his mouth quite uninjured. He is
great bird lover, and it looks as if the

BOOK TALKS.

Napoleon, Drama" by Richmond
Sheffield Dement,, is dramatic poem,
in which the picture presented of the
great emperor is not the popular one.
but one that the artist is persuaded will
be known to future readers Of his won
derful history. The author thinks that
the powers were actuated in their dis
like of Napoleon by dislike and dis
trust of popular form Of government,
and sought to overthrow him as the
representative of such government, and
that finally they grew 70 hate him and
TO desire his overthrow even more after
he had been declared emperor than be-
fore. He argues that the affection of
Napoleon for Josephine is beyond dis
cuSSon. There is no recorded instance
of higher or tenderer Oh madder love
between husband and wife; and yet
love, the strongest passion OF humanity,
was made to yield to the desire that
he felt for the stability of France. On
this plat the drama is conceived and
written, and we'll does it sustain its au-
thor's idea of his hero.

With the use of the best appliances, the
