Little Things That Meant n Grea'

II was calling at a house the other day."
said a man of society, "and as 1 found the
lady I wished to see out, and had a mes
sage which I desired to deliver. / asked the
maid, after vainly fumbling in m pocket
for a pencil, IL she could get ne one. 1 ex-
pected from my experience on similar oc-
casions, a wait of several minutes, while
she promptly presented me with a neat lit
tie pad, to which a SHARPLY pointed pencil
was attached, and which was evidently
kept on the hall table for just such emar-
gencies. 1t was a simple detail, IL you will,
but one which stamped that house forever
in my mind as being well regulated in
every department, and presided over by a
thoughtful woman.
ST had occasion to notice the contrast
when stopping at another house to leave
the same message Ut was an invitation
from my sister for a little theater party
she was organizing, when a similar need
presented itself. Please wait a moment
L will look for one and, leaving me in
the hall, she darted into the drawing room.
fumbled at a smart looking writing table
covered with silver paraphernalia, and.
after failing to find what she wanted she
disappeared within an inner room, evidently
a library. Emerging again, apparently un-
successful, and exclaiming apologetically
There ought TO be a pencil somewhere:
I will go and ask Miss Mary for one,' she
ran upstairs. In the meantime whispered
voices and a rapidly withdrawn mead over
the balusters made me aware that I was
under surveillance from above. 1t was most
disagreeable to wait in the hall of a house
finally / obtained a stub OF a pencil and
scrubbed the message. I left with a dis
tinctly bad Impression of the general man
agement OF the establishment"

KNIGHTS OF MACCABEES
May Investigate the Conduct Of Great
Commander Boynton.

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, Oct. 19.-The
turmoil among the Knights of the Macca-
bees over the action OF Great Commander
Boynton in deposing Great Record Keeper
Broughton by exacting an exorbitant bond
is rapidly increasing here and is reported
as spreading to all parts of the State. An
indignation mass meeting was held to-
night. with over six hundred members or
the order in attendance. The proceedings
were secret, and a resolution was passed
forbidding any member TO divulge any
thing OF the proceedings. Resolutions were
adopted denouncing the action of the great
commander as arbitrary, unfair and des-
potic, and urging all tents In the State TO
take the action necessary to call a meeting
of the Great Tent to review the action or
the great commander. In discussing the res
olution the great commander was charged
with having deliberately conspired TO de-
pose the record keeper for the purpose or
appointing one of his personal friends to
fill the vacancy. and the opinion was ex-
pressed that If the Great Tent be called to
consider the matter the appointment made
10 fill the vacancy will be revoked and the
resignation OF the great commander de-
handed.

SALT LAKE AND DEAD SEA
The Two Bodies of Water Have Little
Resemblance.

DeSeTet news.
The waters Of the Great Salt Lake varies
greatly in its contents of dissolved solids.
depending upon the relation between the
supply OF water through streams and the
evaporation. A fair average of total solids
dissolved in the water OF the lake at its
present mean level Is from 10 TO 20 per
cent. by weight. But not all OF this f.
the water contains sodium Sulphate lglauber
salts), magnesium chloride. calcium sui
plate (gypsum) and potassium sulDhats. ~
detailed analysis OF water taken from the
lake in August. 1855. was made by DR.. Tai
mage This contained In all 1856 per cent.
dissolved solids. or which 1874 was common
salt. Such water would yield OF total solid
matter 39f pounds to the ton, and of COM
mon salt about 3l4 pounds TO the ton.
The Dead sea contains a greater prOpOr-
ton OF solid matter dissolved in its waters
than does the Great Salt Lake. Much dis
crepancy exists among published accounts
OF It's contents. the fluctuations In compo-
sition being due to the same causes that
prevail in our lake. namely. the relations
between the supply through in-fowing
streams and loss by evaporation. A sample
taken from a depth of LILO feet carries 25.4
per cent. OF dissolved solids. This CORE
spends TO 52S pounds to the ton; but this
is only 1855 per cent. common salt, or Isl
pounds TO the ton
Therefore. though the Salt Lake carries
a lower proportion OF dissolved solids of
all sorts than does the Dead sea, the lake
OF salt. The chief solid constituent OF the
Dead sea water Is not sodium chloride
(common salD. but magnesium chloride.
Strictly speaking the water or our lake Is
much printer" than that OF the Dead

sea Is much more highly saturated with
solids.
