We see from the report Of the Dis
trict Grand Secretary that some lodges
or at least q large number of the lodges
tailed to pay for the minutes OF the
previous session and left balance OF
$l26 20 due previous to July l, 1895
This should not be and some law
should be passed compelling the pay
ment ofthese bills or the lodges should
have no recognition with the District.
We do not think it just that some
should be allowed to dodge and still
receive the same recognition as those
who pay their bills.

Tan Spot. Over por.. Eyes.

These spots are believed to afford an
example of protective markings perpet-
uatea by natural selection. They seem
to have been acquired at comparative
ly recent period, when the dog had be.
come senjdomesticated. The original
deg was rcd and did not possess these
spots. When he slept, he hid himself
from possible enemies. but this the
scmidcmesticatcd,d deg could not always
do. Now, when the color changed by
dc nestication and selected breeding,
and dogs became pied and black, those
which had spots over their eyes would
look when asleep as though their eyes
were open and still on watch. There
fore their enemies would be deceived,
and they would be less liable to be kill
ed during sleep than dogs which had
no such spots. Thus they survived and
transmitted their popularity to their
offspring. These spots are supposed to
be the most, if not the only, perma-
nent markings on dogs. San FrancisoS

Musical Recitation.

Although the Qual:ers, as a Sect do
not favor music, regarding it as a profit
less amusement indu!ged in by tho
worlds people, there are occasionally
stories told which show that the love Of
music sometimes steals its way into a
Quaker household in spite of discipline.
George Thompson, the famous English
abolitionist, while lecturing Oh the abo-
lition Of slavery in the British provinces,
stopped one night will, q Quaker family.
He was great lover Of music. and at
that time YVES a good singer.
During the evening he sang "Oft In
the Silly Night, which was listened
TO with the closest attention.
In tho morning his Quaker hostess
appeared somewhat uneasy. She wished
to hear the song again. but it would
hardly do, she thought, for her to re-
quest its repetition. at last, however,
her desire overoame her scruples.

color in her soft cheeks, twill thee re-

A Dsy Of Great Noise.

The evolution Of Fourth Of July has
carried the celebration of the national
anniversary so far away from the old
standards that it has ceased to have any
close reference to the stirring events il
was intended to commemorate. Had the
signers Of The Declaration any idea Of
what would occur on July 4, 1896, it is
possible they might have hesitated be.
fore they affixed their names, to tina,
document. John Adams, it is true, rec.
commended that the day should be OBJ
served with great noise, but it is like.
ly that the old patriot had in mind the
ringing of bells, the firing Of cannon
and the patriotic shouts Of vast multi.
tudes, rather than the juvenile pandc.
monium which is now about all that il
eft Of Fourth Of July celebrations. -
