THE ELKS GRAND LODGE MEETING.
Sessions Announced for Two Places and
About the Same Time

The Grand Lodge of the Benevolent Pro-
tective Order Of Elks will hold its annual
meeting next week. There are conflict
ing orders for the assembling OF this i'm
portant body. as a result OF which ses-
sions may be held both at jamestown
n. Y, and Atlantic City. y. j. In view
OF this condition OF affairs the proceed
ings will be looked upon with more than
ordinary interest. The Jamestown meet
ing will convene on the 18th and the At
lantic City meeting on the 18th.
The dissention between the two fac
tons originated at the last Grand Lodge
meeting held in the city of Detroit in
june 1895 The meeting, contrary to Gus
tom, was indisposed 10 name the place
for the holding Of the next session OF the
body. and by vote invested the Grand
trustees with that authority. In August
the trustees met in New York and se-
lected Atlantic City ~ their choice. Then
it developed that Grand Exalted Ruler
Appery favored jamestown. at which
place in May. 1898. branch lodge had
been organized.
Then the trouble begun. Apperly. il
would appear assumed the position OF
dictator, and upon the refusal of the trus-
tees TO accept his mandates az sacred, he
removed them and appointed others IN
their places. Nevertheless the grand trus
tees, Mcssrs. Joseph W. I.aube
of Richmond. Peter !. Campbell, OF Bal
timore. and w. G. Van Delip, OF Boston,
standing on the merits Of their cause,
issued the call to Atlantic City 0blivous
of the jamestown call.
Hon. William \. Bichel, Of Omaha
grand treasurer OF the order, will pro-
badly preside at the Atlantic City meet
ing. II would occasion no surprise If the
jamestown meeting should. upon being
called to order adjourn to the other as
sembly.

A Discussion About Puddings.

One runs onto many bits of nature in a
down town retail store. With little close
observation i'll the busy throng you can
learn more in 10 minutes about human ma
ture than in decade in some other places.
Men and women are alike unconscious of
themselves and of the impression they make
or others when shopping They have been
doing good deal of shopping lately. Wom-
en- have thought nothing of squandering
two hours to save a nickel, nor of bringing
the wrath of the salesman down on their
defenseless heads by their indecisions and
their blocking the way.
1t was amusing to notice with what satis-
faction one salesman took slight revenge
on one woman with whom he had been la
boring. He had been telling her all about
plum pudding pudding sold in cans.
He told her how by an hours steaming
they came out as fresh, as famous and just
the same as the original English plum pud-
ding. He told her what an awful lot Of
trouble it saved her She examined the diff
ferent sized cans. She read the directions
on each. She listened to his talk, and she
asked him many questions. Then she laid
down the last can of pudding and walked
away.
He looked after her with disgust and the
signs of storm in his face. Awoman who
was waiting for one of the cans said:
"She evidently had her doubts about the
quality of your puddings." "Doubtsp Not
she. l have been talking to her and telling
her about them for an hour. Plum pudding
is too good for her. She is one of those peo-
pie that can live all their lives on suet pud-
ding. g."-Chicago Tribune.

Appalling Denths of snace.

In his lecture to juveniles at the Royal
institution in London, Sir Robert Ball said
that telegraphic message would go seven
times around the earth in n second, and If
a telegraphic message could be sent to the
moon it would reach its destination in lit
tie more than asecond. 1t would take some
thing like eight minutes to arrive at the
sun, but how long did they think it would
take to get to Alpha Centauri, travelling
thither at 10000 miles secondP Seconds,
minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, would
not be long enough. 1t would not take less
than three years. travelling all the time at
that tremendous pace, before it would reach
its destination.
If that was the case with respect to the
nearest of the stars, what must be said OF
those which were farther off? There were
stars so remote that if the news of the VIC
tory of Wellington at Waterloo had been
flashed to them in 1915 on that celestial tel
egraph system it would not have reached
them yet, even if the message had sped at
the pace which he had indicated and had
been travelling all the time.
Nay, more, If the glad tidings of that first
Christmas in Bethlehem 10 centuries ago
had been disseminated through the uni
verse, there were yet stars of which astron-
omers could tell them plunged into space
in depths so appalling that even the years
that have elapsed since that event would
not have been long enough for the news to
reach them, though it travelled at speed
of 10000 miles in every second -

Percentage o.

1t will be seen from the table that the
best results are obtained from marriage
when the father is from 30 to 40 years of age
and when the mother is from 30 to 50 years
old-that is to say, when both parties to the
marriage are in the prime of life. If, how
ever, the mother be of the prescribed age
and the father slightly under 30 years, the
result is nearly the same.
The most important deduction which can
be made from these statistics is that men
between the ages of 80 and 40 cannot with
safety to their offspring contract marriages
with women under 20, the rate of mortality
in this case being no less than q. .SS per
cent. This deduction is Of exceptional i'm
portance because Of the marked decrease in
marriages of that nature at the present
time.
Marriages when the man is between 40
and so years old and the woman between 20
and 80 years old, which are also Of frequent
occurrence, are likewise shown to be detri-
mental to the issue.
Lastly, it is proved that it is unwise for a
man who has passed the age of so to marry
young woman, or for a woman who is
more than 35 years old to marry man
under 30.
In general it may be said that marriages
when the contracting parties are both
young, or when there is n difference of more
than 10 years between the contracting
parties, are likely to prove dangerous to the
healthy propagation of the human race.
These statistics Herr Korosi has OF
course calculated from local observations.
Investigation proves, however, that they
apply with equal force to other countries
and latitudes of the globe. In northern
climates they apply indeed with greater
force
In regard TO the average age Of marriage
in the different countries statistics show
that in England it is for men 27.7, for wo-
men 255 years; in Scotland for men 2s.6 for
women 25.7; in Ireland for men 29.9, for wo-
men 25.2; in France for men 30.2, for women
2i.9; in Italy for men 30.2, for women 25.4;
In Prussia for men 29.2, for women 26, and
In Russia for men 25.2, and for women 81 05
A comparison Of these ages shows Herr
Korosis deductions to be reasonable.-New
York Evening Sun.

A Disguised Cab Driver,

He had been driving cab for four years
and got little bit more weary looking
every day.
81 can't stand it no longer" he said at
last ~ amt going to have any more wom-
en- finding fault and claiming that they
didn't have courteous treatment"
There was woman standing at the next
corner. Instead Of the customary "Cab,
ma'am'" he stopped his horse, dismounted
from his porch, and going toward the curb
stone lifted his hat and inquired:
do you propose making use of this We
hicle todays"
"Sir?" she said in tones of astonishment.
"Do you wish to ride in this cabp If so,
l will gladly escort you to it. aim to
please"
why, never heard such impertinencel"
she stammered. II did intend riding in
your cab, but shall certainly wait for the
next one. And you may expect complaint
from me at the police station concerning
your conduct, sir"
He remounted his seat and pulled his hat
down over his eyes.

said.-London Tit-Bits.

Cats can be trained to almost ANYTHING
II taught when they are young. We have
number Of Persians, which sit with eQua-
nimity upon the top of our bird cages watch
ing the canaries hopping merrily about
from perch to perch, making no attempt to
touch them, nor ever dreaming of inserting
velvet paw through the narrow wires to
the discontinue of the fluttering inmates.
They are left alone with the birds by the
hour together, yet an overturned cage or a
slaughtered canary is an unheard of catas-
trophe in our household. Chickens, too,
our cats fully realize are forbidden to figure
In their menu. They ramble about at their
own sweet will among numberless broods
of the tiniest bantam chicks, yet one of the
latter is never missing, and they quite seem
to recognize the fact that plump little
mouse or an unwary bluebottle caught
buzzing upon the window pane is their
only legitimate prey. Sometimes we hear
Of cats creating terrible havoc in the poul-
try yard, killing chickens by the dozen and
making life perfect martyrdom to the dis
tracted mothers.
The best way to cure pussy of this fatal
habit is to take the dead chicken from her,
pepper it well, and then fasten it round the
delinquent's neck. Place her in q room
and leave her thus for an hour or two to
ruminate over her wrong doings. 1t is 10
to l if poor puss will ever err again.
Once released from this somewhat severe,
if necessary, punishment she will make off,
with tears in her eyes (whether from emo
tion or the pepper it is impossible to say),
and for the future she will avoid the poul-
try department with strange persistency
and regard with distrust the fluffy little
denizens of the chicken coops.-London
