AN INTERESTING SKETCH

Washington Commandery of Knights
Templar is notable throughout the country
for many remarkable characteristics Its
great age, now closely approaching the
three-quarters of century limit; its long
valorous and successful struggle for the
old original uniform of Knights Templar;
the names illustrious in American Masonic
annals which have been borne upon its
rolls. and its location at the national cap
ital, have all united to render the old or
ganizatfon famous. It is soon to fittingly
celebrate very uncommon event In Tenn

knight1ng of one OF Its members.
On the 10th day of September 1t will be
half a century since the day when the
lamented Benjamin B. French, then and
for many years most eminent grand COM
mander, in the presence of large gather
ing of old-time sir knights Of the national
capital, laid his sword upon the shoulder of
James Grigg Of Alexandria, and with three
strokes created him a knight Of the Chris
tian Order Of Templars.
Sir James Grigg was then in his twenty
fourth year, and the suns of fifty summess
and the SHOWS of almost as many winters
have brought him well beyond the three
score and ten years of scriptural limit. But

Zo0therapy.
From the London Times

FfUm tHe IOhdOn T1mes-
Zootherapy is a new system of curing Ills
devised by Florentine named Terapi. 1t
consists in transferring any disease n man
may have to some animal. and is the con-
verse of the medical theory that animals
convey disease to man. Among the cures
he advertises is that CT a rheumatic who
made his dog lie across his bed. the man
being cured and the dog dying. Goldsmith
has written a poem on an analogous case,
where man was bitten by a mad dog.
Other cases are those Of a priest who took
his cat 10 bed with him and was cured of
fever; Of a Lausanne lady who trans
fetred her severe headache to her toy ter

LITERARY CULTURE eE TnE CHILD,
Powerful influence or Literature In
EARLY Childhood.

Powerful Inhueucea OF Literature In
EARLY Childhood.
J. A. Reinhart in the Independent "
I It Is to be maintained. therefore, that the
elements of literary and artistic culture
nay be instilled in childhood. It is a mis-
take only recently recognized as such by
the greater number Of elementary school
teachers to assume that young persons
from six to fourteen years of age have
neither the taste nor the capacity for real
literature-for those masterpieces of human
genius which, because they are the works
of the highest creative Imagination, have a
truly educative power. Recent biography in
the case Of these who have cared to report
the earliest sources of their inspiration for
literature and art bears witness to the
powerful influence Of literature in early
childhood. A few illustrations will suffice
The stories of Hans Andersen now form
part Of the course In. literature for the
fourth year In school In a. score of promi-
nent cities in our country. Now, John Ad-
dington Symonds. In His Autobiography,
records the impression made upon him
while a very young child by Andersens
story OF 1.-THE Ugly Duckling.'
THE story made a deep impression on nv
mind at this time. I sympathized passion
ately with the poor bird, swimming round
and round in the duck puddle. I cried con-
vulsively when he flew away to join his
beautiful, wide-winged white brethren of
the windy Journeys and the lonely meads.
done the same, for it is a note of childhood
In souls destined for expression to feel soIi-
tary and debarred from privileges due to
them"
This Incident may be paralleled by an epi-
sode in the present writer's own experience.
A child five years old was being entertained
by being read to from "Pilgrim's Progress"
He was presently found to be CRYING. IJpon
being asked why he cried he explained that
he was SO sorry that Christian had lost his
roll. the allusion being to the incident in
the third stage of the immortal story. where
Christian, while sleeping, drops from his
bosom the roll which was the assurance of
his life and the token OF his happy recep-
ton at the end OF the journey.
Symonds gives another instance of the
educative and determining influence of lit
erature during his early years:
My sisters and were riding one day up-
on a rocking horse which stood on the
landing of the attic floor. / was holding on
to the tail of the horse. We were scream
ing out in chorus Scott's lines upon the
death of Marmion:
