OF INTEREST TO MAsONS.
Rules Adopted For Admission of
Inmates to Ohio Masonic Home.

The trustees of the Ohio Masonic
Home, at their last meeting adopted
rules for admission of inmates, says
an exchange. These will be printed
and distributed among the Masonic
bodies of the State. Applicants for
admission must apply through the
Masonic bodies to which they belong.
Individual applications will not be
accepted. Orphans of Masons be-
tween four and thirteen years will be
admitted. Masons or widows of Ma
sons, who cannot.support themselves
and are a charge on their friends,
will be admitted If recommended by
a Masonic body. The trustees de
cided not to open the, home until they
have raised enough funds to pay off
all Indebtedness and they have
started out to secure $4,000 for this
purpose. They desire to start free of
debt and it is not likely that the
home will open before the middle of
summer. The capacityis 200 inmates
and it is expected that there will be
100 inmates as soon as it is opened.
The cost of the home, with the

been contributed by Masons and the
building erected within the space. Of
three years. The actual value of the
property is now about 100000. 1t
is estimated that it will require about
$50, 900 q year to maintain the institu-
tion. Of this, $4,000 will be raised
by per capita tax of 25 cents, which
will be levied by the grand lodge and
grand chapter of the State. The $5, 900
and more will, without question, be
obtained from subscriptions, be-
quests and chiefly from annual dona-
tions. An endowment fund will be
established as soon as possible for
the maintenance of the home.

The Cream OF Literature

A young man called at our office a
few days ago and showed us work
which is being introduced in this
county, with a request that We exam
inc it. We are in aposition every day
to examine books and reading matter,
but we consider this book, entitled
the "Best Fifty Books of the Great
est Authors" the best book of the
kind ever issued from the press. 1t
is q condensation of what the best
critics consider the best fifty books of
whole range Of literature. 1t embrac-
es about one hundred-thousand pages
of the originals and covers period Of
over three thousand years.
A careful reading Of this work will
enable person to coverse more intel
ligently on literary lines than ninety
per cent of those who have read the
originals. We haye never before seen
anything like it, orits equalin quality
of paper or character of illustrations
for the price asked for it. It is pub
tlished by Americas most complete art
printing works. The Matthews North
rup Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Every family
needs just such work, and every
young man and woman should pos
sess a copy. We have ordered acopy
for ourselves and we would be glad to
know that every person in the county
who is trying to improve himself or
the minds of his family, had done the
same. 2t
