Hints about the secret work The
secret work of the Lodge consists OF
three ranks. which are symbolical OF
the three principles of the Order.
namely: Friendship, Charity and Be-
nevolence The three Ranks, Page.
Esquire and Knight, are seperate, but
it is necessary to be initiated into all
of them to come TO a just appreciation
IF the extent and scope of what thi.
organization comprehends and teaches
Ire instructions given in the several
Ranks are part of the essential ele-
ments that go to make up a secret so
ciety, and they are conferred upon al
who become members, that they may
come to a correct understanding of tn
basis upon which the Order is built
Friendship is the mystic tie thai
brings and binds our members togeth
er.
"A friend loveth at all times,
And a brother is born for adversely.
A true Knight is a friend of hi
brother Knight and will ever aid hin
in all worthy efforts, but will not up

regard OF the rules which good societ,
prescribes
Charity is the perfection OF friend

His Fingers Cramped.

Charles Wallower, the young Harris
burg brakeman who was caught be-
tween two cars in the yards a short
time ago, and had his left arm so bad
ly crushed that amputation was made
at the hospital, had peculiar expert
ence the other day. Ever since he
was discharged from the hospital he
had complained of pains in the hand
which was of and said his fingers were
cramped SO that Trey hurt him. At
first it wast6ought that the young man
was victim Of imagination, bat when
he persisted in an investigation it was
made The arm, which had been bur
led, was dug up and it was found that
the fingers were in the position de-
scrbed by Wallower In order to see
if he really had any feeling he was
placed IN another room, and when the
undertaken began Strengthening the
fingers he called out to the young man
to tell which finger it was. This was
done without the least hesitation.
Once the undertaken gave one of the
fingers a severe jerk, and at the same
time there was an unearthly yell from
the adjoining room, followed by the re-
mark, Don't break that finger off =
The arm after being properly laid
out was re-interred and now the young
man says he does not suffer any pain.

Mr.. H. E. Huford, of Cincinnati,
sent to the Ohio State Academy Of
Science large stone taken from the
hillside four miles north Of Parkers-
burg, on the West Virginia side of the
Ohio river, about twenty years ago, in
which was the imprint Of a perfect hui
man foot measuring fourteen and a-half
inches in length. The Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette says 1.-The specimen
excited considerable interest, though
there was diversity of opinion as to
whether or not there had ever lived in
that portion of the country person
with feet of that size. The matter will
be thoroughly investigated and it is
believed by some that this specimen
will lead to the discovery of the exist
ence of some prehistoric race of giants
of which nothing is known at the pres
ent time.

Nothing Need Be Wasted.

When a tumbler or other glass vessel
is broken do you think its usefulness
is gone? 1t is not, by any means. 1t
is tossed into the ash barrel, indeed,
but it is pretty sure to reappear in an
other form on the table. In making
glass it is usual to melt the materials
together with quarter or half their
weight of "cullet that is, broken
glass of the same kind. This uses up
great quantities of broken glass which
the rag-pickers carefully sort out from
the barrels and dumps. Some of the
coarsest glass is melted and colored in
the paste. When it is cold it is bro
ken into irregular pieces and sold for
cheap mosaics in the decorations of
shops, while broken bottles are ground
up to make sand or glass paper.
Bones have long career of useful
ness after they are discarded from the
kitchen. Ground to dust they make
valuable fertilizers, while, at some
English dyeing establishments, bones
are boiled to get the gelatine, or size,
for stifening goods. Sometimes bones
are boiled and bleached and then sent
to the turner's to be made into knife
handles, toothbrushes, nailbrushes and
buttons, while ground up and mixed
with other things they are used as
bonemeal to feed cattle. Where does
the ivory-black of the artist come from?
From burning old bones in closed re-
torts, and the same substance is used
in making backing. Bone charcoal
is used in refining sugar because it Is
so absorbent that it will remove all
trace Of indigo from sugar colored with
t. This charcoal can be used over
and over again by washing and heat
ing, and when finally worn out for re-
fning purposes it is used in making
phosphorus.
Old tins are cut into strips, punched,
blackened and vanished, and used to
strengthen cheap trunks and boxes,
while old iron is remelted and appears
in fresh, new form. tits said England
ships as ballast much of her worn-out
gridirons, boilers, shovels and the like
to US to be melted over. Even such
small things as corks are collected and
recut, while those that are too rough
for cork making are used for floats for
fishermen and for stuffing horse col

Marriage complications.

A dispatch from Hagerstown to the
Baltimore San OF Monday last says:
Much sympathy is expressed for Mrs.
James Hoover, who left her husband
in Waynesboro several days ago and
came to Hagerstown to stay. 1t Is
stated by her friends that she did so
because she was innocently married to
two men at the same time. She mar
ried Samuel Spielman near Pen-Mar
about fifteen years ago. Living togeth-
er but few months they separated,
and her husband went West. She
lived alone for seven years, when she
was told that her marriage bonds had
been legally broken by the seven years
separation. She believed the story and
married James Hoover, though she did
not tell HIM she had not been formally
divorced, thinking she did not need to
90 to court about the matter. a few
days ago her first husband came East
and called on his wife. He found her
the mother of three children by Hoover
and living happily in handsomely
furnished house on the chief street of
Waynesboro. About month ago
Mrs. Hoover became alarmed at de-
cision of Judge Stewart at Chambers
burg, in which he sentenced Charles
F: Wh;tmore to the penitentiary for
eighteen months because he married
Miss Ellen Rowe, of Pen-Mar, in 1890,
left her and went West and, returning
in 1898 and finding her married to an
other man, married Miss Schindel-
decker. Mrs. Hoover, fearing that
she would be presented before the
court, told her husband all. Her hus-
band sent her away until she can get
a divorce from Spielman, after which
he expects to remarry her. The case
has excited much interest and sympa-
thy.

Farm and Garden Notes.

The roosts should be low, especially
for large, heavy fowls, and should all
be of the same height.
In caring fora an orchard against the
ravages of insects and fungi, protec-
ton is the great rule.
Bark bursting is generally confined
to trees with long, bare trunks. A
COOL remedy is to cultivate low heads.
If stock is to be kept in the orchard
sheep are best They will enrich the
soil and keep down sprouts and bushes.
Don't allow your frewood to mas
querade as fruit trees. If a tree is of
no value, the sooner it is ont of the
way the better.
When the hens stop laying perhaps
they can be started again by changing
the feed. Give less grain and more
meat and skim-milk.
Selling brood sows before they reach
full maturity, and substituting in their
places young animals, has tendency
to reduce the vitality Of the herds.
Turkeys must have a good range to
be profitable. They are bug eaters
by nature, and must have a good
stretch of territory to forage in order
to do well.
Fungous growth8 are propagated by
spores which are carried chiefly by the
wind. These spores are carried over
during the winter in rotten fruit, bro
ken twigs, etc; hence the necessity for
removing all rubbish from the orchard
in the fall.
Never have fear that there is a
danger of the poultry business being
overdone, as this large country of ours
consumes more and more of eggs and
poultry every year. Our supplies fall
Tar short, and eggs are imported into
our cities by the millions Of dozens
every season.
We must plant the best if we expect
to gather the best. 1t does not pay
to waste ground, and time and labor,
in cultivating inferior grains and veg
etables, when little more expended
for perfect seed of the best varieties
will increase the yield one or two hun
dred fold; or as in this case more than
three hundred fold, taking quality in
to account.
Be sure to have the breeding stock
in fine condition, not burdened with
fat, but improving in flesh. a SOW
that is running down in flesh should
not be bred better wait till she can
be started in the other direction. The
mala shouId he kent jasthe best posi-
bic condition, and his food such as will
impart muscular vigor, and not such
as will tend to lay on fat.
