About thirty-five officers took the oath
of office, ands were instructed in their
duties.
The chief ranger of Court Palantic,
c. J. Pettee, then took the chair, and
as the hour was growing late, pushed
the programme to completion as rap
idly as possible, that time might be
left for the supper and dance.
Hon. Joel Shoemaker senior past
chief ranger of Court Fremont. and
Aiitor of the Messenger, at Manti,
was next introduced, and made an in
structive speech on the growth and
benefits of the Order of Foresters of
America. He wound up by telling all
about Sanpete, and brought forth
round after round of laughter.
Brother Hopkins, of Court True
Blue, next entertained those present
with some excellent instrumental
music, and for an encore sang an Irish
melody that brought down the house.
Senior Past Chief Ranger w. ].
Moore, of Palantic, next claimed at
subject, and he handled it like a vet

why secret societies were a. benefit to
the civilized world. Mr.. Moore es an
enthusiast on the subject, and being
an eloquent speaker, carries conviction

This completing the programme, ice
cream and cake was passed around,

the fiddlers were brought in and a
large number stayed until nearly 3
O'Clock, tripping. the light fantastic,
and all declared it the event of the
season.
The committee on Foresters' day met
last Tuesday evening, and decided to
celebrate at Castillo Springs on that
day. The same committee will meet
at the grand secretary's office this
evening, at $50, to commence opera
tons towards making it an occasion
long to be remembered. All members
should be present

All members are expected to be on

stalled, two candidates were initiated,
and a large amount of business was
handled, and all acted tremendously
and for the best interests of the circle.
The new officers of the courts and
circles are going to carry on an active
campaign the coming six months, and
an extraordinary growth of the order
is expected. A hard pull and harmoni-

The public installation Of the officers
of the four courts in Salt Lake, came
off as announced, on last Tuesday
evening. About 800 people~were pres
ent, and although there were several
little disappoimtments in the members
falling to answer TO their call in the
programme the exercises went off
very nicely, and all present voted it
the Foresters' event of the season.
Past Chief Ranger R. N Moffat. Of
Court Salt Lake, opened the meeting
at 9 O'Clock, and introduced Mr.. Miles
Johnson, of Court Salt Lake, who
made an excellent speech on his sub
ject, s'Public Installation" and was
heartily applauded.
A quartette of four little girls was
the next ON the programme, and they
all did nobly, and also received an
applause which made the little ladies
blush with pleasure.
The members of the Grand Court
then entered as follows: Deputy
supreme ranger, w. J. Moore; F. E.
Houghton, grand secretary; Joel Shoe
maker, as grand marshal; u. B. Rus

There need be no alarm whatever
over the establishment of the I'm
proved Knights of Pythias'' If the
reader will but turn to the last pages
of the supreme statutes he will find
that the supreme lodge of the Knights
of Pythias is duly incorporated by
act of Congress. The supreme chan
cellor can therefore legally enjoin
these disaffected lodges from using
the name of this order in any way in
connection with their new enterprise.
They will then have no resemblance
to this order visible to the outer
world, and surely out of 5000 flourish
ing lodges, we can afford to lose
twenty-five without serious injury.
If they want to steal our secret work
that will be a matter for their own
conscience to decide. Their obliga-
tions touching this point were purely
personal ones, and were assumed
without any conditions whatever as
to time, place or circumstances. /

What 1t Was.

The fair girl sat in her boudoir at her ebony escretoire writing a letter. She showed every sign of suppressed emo tion, and her pen raced over the paper as if it would win by dozen lengths She muttered to herself at times as if her anger were too much for silence. and her face was flushed, as if she were burning with fever. At last the letter was finished, and when she had sealed it she slapped it down on the desk with such force that the mag nifcent inl1stand of bronze and silver fell to the floor with a crash, shivered into hundred fragments.
 The gills mother in the room below heard the noise and ran frightened into the hall.
 ''Oh, Imogene," she called, in breath less eagerness, what was that?"
 Nothing, mamma,'' replied the girl, going to the door.
 ''But I heard terrific crash" the mother insisted. Didn't you break something?7
 ''Yes, mamma. It was only my en- gagement with MT. Hackenberry," and the fair E1nogene returned to her escre- tolre and stuck a stamp on the fatal letter.-Detroit Free Press.

Gold in the Ocean.

That gold should exist in the ocean is an induction that Dr. Henry Wurtz claims to have presented in 1866, and in 1872 the discovery was announced by E. Sonstadt. A careful computation with the best data obtainable, on tho basis of 0.9 grain of gold per ton of sea water, about the proportion assigned by Sonstadt, shows that the great ocean should contain gold to the amount of over sS0, ,O0O, 900, ,0OO, 1000, 1000. The getting of some of this by electrolysis, Dr. Wurtz now predicts, will be one of the prob lens of the future.

 cept Money for Their Works.
 This is true of Count Lyof Nikol- aievitch Tolstoi, the famous Russian author, who, while in the army as a member of the staff of Prince Gorts- chakoff, was present at the storming of Sebastopol in 1855. Leaving the army, and already a famous poet and novelist, he devoted himself to liter ature, and spent a short time in the most brilliant literary and social circles of St. Petersburg. Since his marriage he has lived more or less in retirement, and during the Russian famines of 1891 and 1892 made great efforts on behalf of the peasants on and in the vicinity of his estates. In the latter year Count Tolstoi resigned all social standing and privileges of his rank, and he now devotes most of his time and money to good works, while living as poorly as any of the peasan- try. He insists that the literal inter- pretation of the Sermon on the Mount is the only rule of Christian life, and he has expressly declined to avail him. self of any copyright in his works or in transIations of them into other languages. Dr. John Charles Kyle, bishop of Liverpool, has written above two hundred tracts on religious sub- jects, many of which have been trans lated and reprinted in French, Ger man, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Hindostani, and Chinese, and it is said that he will take nothing from the publishers for them and will make nc profit from them.

Rings Cut from Diamonds.

Everybody knows how difficult it is even for an expert lapidaries to cut diamonds, not only on account of their hardness, but by reason O; their struc- ture and veins, which must be well de- lined before the cutter begins his work. M. Antoine, one of the best known jewellers of Antwerp, has, after many fruitless attempts and three years of arduous, patient toll, at last succeeded in cutting a whole ring out of block of diamond. The ring is perfectly round, with a diameter of nineteen milliters (about three-quar- ters of an inch). It was exhibited for some time in Antwerp, and was very much admired. Its value is not given, as the maker will not sell it. Outside of this ring there is but one other ring known to be cut out of one stone, and that is the beautiful sapphire ring in the Marlborough collection.

Origin of a Story Attributed to Twenty
 Handsome Women.

Lady Harriet D'Orsay was really, ac. cording to MT. Sala, in his reminis- cences published recently, the heroine of story which has been told in al least twenty forms of twenty different ladies of fashion. She was presiding at stall at vente de charite, ol bazaar, held in aid of the fund of Some asylum or another, when there came up the duke of Orleans, son and heir o: King Louis Philippe. The duke, after some polite small talk, began to extoi the beauty of her hair, and, indeed her Henrietta Marie coiffure had never looked glossier and softer than it die this day.
 '0h!" said his royal highness, Eff ] could only possess one of those en- chanting ringlets!'
 ''How much would monseigneur give for one?' asked Lady Harriet, gravely: five thousand francs?"
 Five thousand francs!" repeated the duke; "a mere bagatelle."
 ''Six thousand francs?'
 Anything so charming lady chose to ask"
 "I will not be extortionate," pursued Lady Harriet; i've will say five thou sand.''
 And then she very composedly pro- duced dainty little pair of scissors, shipped off the adorable Henrietta Maria ringlet. wrapped it in silver paper and handed it with dignity to the duke. His royal highness looked very straight down his nose, and, re- turning Lady Harrlet's salute, stalked somewhat gloomily away. But his privy purse duly forwarded the money next day.-Philadelphia Press.
