NEW CONSTITUTION
DISCUSSED BY THE SONS OF HER
MAN TODAY.
1t Makes Several Important Changes
Over the PaeSent Constitution
Dues and Limitation Fees May be
Raised--Board of Directors For In
surance-=s Sick Benefits Curtaiied--
Reports OF Officers Make a Good
Showing,

At the secret session Of the grand
lodge, Sons of Herman, yesterday
afternoon, the only business trans
acted was the receiving of the reports
of the seven grand officers. These
reports were referred to separate COM
mittees of three, which in turn pre-
sented favorable reports upon them,
and the reports of the seven officers
were accepted by the grand lodge.
The reports show that the order in
Minnesota is in most flourishing
condition, and on sound basis. The
total membership is 2, $40, an increase
of $40 during the fifteen months that
are covered by the reports. Six new
lodges have been established, one each
at Fairfax, Sanborn, Hutchinson,
Wells, Hector and Minneapolis. There
have been thirty deaths, and thirty
assessments have' been made. The
receipts have been about $4,000, and
the expenditures for death losses and
sick benefits about S42, eco, leaving a
balance of about $4,000 in the treas
ury, a gain Of about $1,000 since the
last report.
President Neumeier made a lengthy
report, containing eight recommends
tions. He recommended that state
physician and a state lawyer be pro-
ironnrtapt nhoOup
which he advocated was to pay only
$500 where a member dies during the
first year of his membership, $500
where he dies during the next four
years, and the full amount of $1,000
where he dies after having been a
member for five years.
The total membership OF the
Daughters of Herman is 440, gain of
about 100. Three new lodges have
Seen started, one each at Minneapolis,
ST. Paul and St. Peter. The grand
lodge Of the Daughters of Herman
met last week.
Chas. Bremen arrived yesterday
afternoon as an additional delegate
from Germania lodge No. 3, Of Still
water Albert Drews and III. H.

IN MErlORY OF LESTER FUTILE

A loving son and brother
Has gone from this world of sin,
But the gates of eternal glory
Opened. wide to take him in.
And just across the river
He beckons us to his side,
Where he is safe from the storms and surges
And he is out of reach of the tide
And the vacant chair at the fireside
Marks the place that our loved one left
But we know In our heart of hearts
That our darling boy is at rest.
And we would not call him back
To this world of grief and pain,
For we're sure his feet are walking
On life's eternal plain.
And as the family circle is broken,
And we are called one by one,
We will bow our heads in meekness
And say thy will be done.

DANGER OF MENTAL STRAIN.
Serious Disorders Resulting From Toe
Much Brain Work. &. ..s "a.


Much Brain Work. N
Intellectual work does not injure
health or shorten life, but mental
overwork, when associated with emo
tional strain, is often cause of nerv-
Gus breakdown and disease.
Health and life are sometimes lost
through forgetfulness of the fact that
mental strain is dangerous to those in
or past middle life who attempt brain
work to which they have not been ac-
customed. ,"s..
If not subjected to excessive mental
or physical strain, public and profess
sional men, although afflicted with or
ganic diseases, may live in comfort and
do moderate amount of work for
many years.
Among physicians, lawyers and jour
nalists the performance of brain work
under pressure for time and bad hygi-
epic conditions, is a common cause of
i'll health. ,,
Comparatively few clergymen sue
cumb completely to mental overwork,
although many of them suffer from a
mild, annoying form of nervous ex-
haustion.
The danger to the scientific worker
usually arises from too intense and
prolonged activity of the mind in one
direction. 1t springs largely from the
fascination it has for its votaries. The
system of severe competitive examina-
tions in many communities saps the
health of teachers and pupils.
Chronic nervous exhaustion IS not
common among men prominent in pub
lie affairs and in the professions. Such
men are, however, sometimes the vic.
Tins of severe acute nervous proStra-
ton. $500
The warnings of mental overwork
and overstrain vary, but certain
psychical symptoms and such physical
symptoms as laxity or immohility OF
countenance, diminished resisting
power, heart failure, sleeplessness,
cervico-occipital pain or distress and
dyspepsia are of most frequent occur
renee.
Insanity in some forms Is often de-
veloped by overstrain of the nervous
systems
Phthisis, diabetes and Bright's dis.
case, next to insanity. are among the
diseases most likely to be developed
by mental overwors. Men in whose
families phthisis is hereditary should
carefully guard against such over
work
Overtaxing the mind and nervous
system may be the exciting cause OF
almost any serious disorder to which
chance, accident, imprudence or infec-
ton exposes the individual. Y,

lake, at "a degrees north latitude, the
farthest south.
A man who can endure cold like an
Eskimo, travel like caribou, live for
weeks on frozen caribou meat, starve
as cheerfully as Yellow Knife Indian,
and endure the companionship of ver-
min-covered natives, can reach the
southern borderland of the musk-ox,
and possibly get back alive with two or
three skins. Mr.. Warburton Pike, Eng
lishman, can do and did do all those
things no longer ago than 1890; and his
book on 1.-THE Barren Grounds of North
ern Canada" is most interesting and
valuable contribution to our knowledge
of that very desolate country.
The muslz-ox is perhaps the rarest,
and to white men the most difficult to
secure, of all our land quadrupeds.
Robes are by no means uncommon, and
often sell for as little as fifteen dollars
each; but of mounted skins there are in
our countryexactlys seven. Three of these
constitute a group in the National mu-
scum; two are at the American Museum
of Natural History in New York; and
the museums of Philadelphia and Cam
bridge have one each. Although dur
ing their long sojourns in high lati-
tudes Gen. Greedy and the members of
his expedition party killed many musk
oxen, you will notice that they were
unable to bring back even SO much as a
single horn.

odd and striking that when once seen
it is seldom forgotten. You see an OBJ
long mass of tremendously long brown
hair, four and half feet high by six
and half long, supported upon wide
hoofs and very short, thick legs, almost
hidden by the body hair. There is also
blunt and hairy muzzle, a pair of
eyes, pair of broad, flattened horns
that part like woman's hair and drop
far downward before they curve up
ward-and that is all. The mass of
HAIR is so thick that as the robe lies on
the floor it is about as easy to walk over
as feather bed. Over the loins you
will find, if you look closely, broad
''saddle-marlx" of dirty-white hair,
shorter than the rest of the coat.
Next to the body is matted mass Of
very fine and soft hair, like clean wool
so dense that to snow and fog it is
qnite impenetrable. Over this lies a
thick coat of very long, straight hair,
often twelve inches in length and some
times twenty, like the grass raincoat of
japanese soldier. Sometimes it
actually touches the snow as the ami
