"Change of Air."

This expression to an invalid, accord
ing to correspondent of the London
Lancet, means something more than is
commonly implied, something different,
in fact, from changing ones usual en-
vironment. 1t is pointed out that while
the air of health resorts is comparative
ly exempt from disease germs and or
ganic impurities, this is not the whole
secret of the matter. 1t Is also an inter
esting question why of two coast towns
only few miles apart and both situat-
ed at the same height above the sea one
should have bracing" and the other
relaxing climate. AS the chemical
differences in the air are inappreciable,
the suggestion is made that some of the
innumerable harmless micro organisms
amid which we live may be responsible
for some of the mysterious and diverse
characteristics or qualities of air which,
though at present inexplicable, pro-
foundly affect the health and spirits of
mankind. Then, too, the subtle infu-
ence of emanations from the soil. from
vegetation and from other animate and
inanimate objects must be taken into
account. Considering the depressing or
exhilarating effect of many substances,
chiefly carbon compounds, which are
introduced into the lungs in IA vaporized
or finely divided state, the conclusion
is that the invisible, air borne sub
stances, which may be SO effective for
good or ill. are mainly organic in their
origin. 1t is likewise argued that, apart
from the question of the relative purity
of the atmosphere, there is really pc
culiar virtue in mere change. similarly
as in a change of diet, also the increased
therapeutic effect which often results
from an altered mode Of administering
drugs.

Good Material or None.

Material selected for membership in
fraternal order should be from the
very best class of society. This does
not mean that any man is to be exclud-
ed simply because he may not possess
wealth and influence. 1t does mean
that no man should be received whose
Character, or honesty, integrity and
manliness is not above reproach.
Your order is engaged In an effort
to promulgate and perpetuate the very
best OF principles, and TO conserve all
calculated to advance morality. IL is
as impossible to accomplish these ends
with men whose instincts and concep-
tions Of life are low and debased as it
is for an army composed OF towards
and traitors to successfully Invade the
country of an enemy. You cannot
reasonably expect TO accomplish great
persons TO your lodge who themselves
are under the serious necessity of be-
ing reformed. Long ago it was said
men do not gather grapes of thorns
nor figs OF thistles, and il is equally
true today that you cannot build up
morality nor advance the interests of
humanity by calling to your assistance
the vicious, debased and brutal.
Exercise the greatest possible care
as to the character Of all persons who
apply for membership, and decide to
receive no man whose past is not clear
from stain and whose future is not
guaranteed by an honest life. Ii Is a
well known fact that one bad man in a
lodge will keep out fifty good ones.-

THE LODGE CORNER. F:
Flowers for the Living.


In these days OF memorial observance,
SO beautiful, we think the following
article from the Denver A. o. u. w.
Record worthy Of reproduction:
"When member OF the order dies
we follow his remains TO the grave in
sorrow. Flowers are piled upon and
around the casket. The lodge charter
is draped in black. A committee reso-
lutes upon the virtues OF the departed
In life tins brother was just simply
one of us. He came In and went out.
We met him in and out Of the lodge.
We met hun amid all the varying
scenes and trials of this hurly-burly
life. We had no part in his joys and
took no part in his sorrows.
We magnilied, perhaps, his short
comings and took little or no note OF
his virtues.
How many words of cheer, of en-
couragement, of communication did he
receive at our hands? When did we
ever go out of our way to do him IA
kindness?
When were we heard to say: "He is
"A good citizen, fraternal brother, IA
kind husband and loving father"
When the brother has gone to his
long rest we discover that the departed
was In this life the embodiment of all
these virtues We have flowers for
him then and kind words. They are, it
is true, as balm To the sorrowing
hearts of the living-but to the dead !!
All to his spirit they are but a hollow
mockery; that is if departed spirits
have any feeling at all in the matter.
Brothers, let us scatter some of the
flowers of fraternal friendship along
the pathway of life; nor reserve them
for the silent tomb.
We may all be poverty-stricken in
this world goods, but still be rich in
good deeds and kind words Words of
love and good cheer cost US nothing
We can make the pathway of those
about US more cheerful and easier to
travel. If we do this the tears shed
over our cold form when life's battle is
ended will be those of sincere regret;
the resolutions of coincidence will voice
an honest sentiment; the flowers upon
the coffin will be truly emblematic of
good deeds done in the body"

4 Little History,

The first record we have of any kind
Of fraternal insurance occurs in the
writings of Livy, the time being dur
ing the second Punic war. The same
author also relates that Claudius, the
Emperor, agreed TO save harmless any
merchant whose possessions should
suffer damage in trans port. This was
to foster and encourage commercial
ferent countries. Down to the time of
the reign Of Queen Elizabeth, the in.
surance noted applies almost exclu-
sively to marine. During the Eliza
bethian era, or to be more explicit,
1893, the Anglo Saxons instituted mu-
tual aid societies and called them
guilds, from the Anglo-Saxon word
"gildan," meaning ito pay" These
were originally associations Of the in
habitants of particular towns for pro-
noting the fraternity. They resem-
bled in many important features our
modern societies. On condition OF
certain payment, the members were
entitled To relief in case of sickness
and to protection from violence. La
ter they were of two kinds: religious
and secular; while both of these re-
tanned the relief in sickness, the for
mer was more Of "a charitable institu-
ton, while the latter had as it's object
the advancement of the commercial
relations OF the fraternity. These sec
ular guilds were really the origin of
municipal corporations. In the pres
ent times people are prone to predict
the short life OF all fraternal societies.
The facts noted above may aid some
brother in refuting such statement.
Good Fellow.

Perhaps the greatest tea drinkers OF
all are the Moors, because to them il is
everything. Mohammedans do not drink
spirits-which is more than can be said
Of the Russians-and, therefore, the
Mohammedan sips his tea as his one
and great consolation. The pomp with
which 1t il made is amazing to for
eign mind.
Every one squats on the floor. The
head OF the house sits down beside the
teapot, with great pomp the servant,
who seems invariably to be called Mo

ing urn, and. after the master has
rinsed the pot, put in the tea, filled the
pot with water, waited certain mum.
Der OF minutes and skinned off the
frothy substance that has risen to the
surface, he packs the precious teapot as
full AS ever it will go with freshly
grown mint. Nor is this all. He takes
as much sugar as the stranger imagines
would fill the entire pot, and. handful
after handful, pok9s it into this mint
favored concoction. let's it stand some
minutes, and then pours out little Of
the weak but highly favored tea and
drinks it himself. to assure his guests
that it is not poisoned
Then solemnly cups are filled for the
visitors, and, with the greatest pomp
and wonderful salaams. they are hand
ed around-to the men first, Of course,
as women, even foreign women, count
for nothing in Marocco Three cups Of
tea are the regulation supply, and it is
an Offense to leave any Moor's house
until one has solemnly managed those
three cups, enjoyed with many bows
and gracious salutations, and generally
accompanied by extraordinary cakes,
which the Moors love, but which to the
foreign taste--well, one has only to ex-
plain that they are fried in rancid but

Acetylene.

In view of tie growing use Of acety.
lene for heating and Illuminating pur.
poses, Investigators have sought to de.
termine the conditions under which il
may be safely stored. Acetylene may be
exploded either by illuminate cap or a
redhot wire and forms explosive mix
lures with air. 1t has recently been
found that acetone is "a good solvent for
acetylene, and, in The Complies Rendus,
M. Berthelot gives an account of some
very complete experiments that he has
made in this connection. 1t was found
that solutions of acetylene in acetone,
though still capable of explosion, were
much safer than the gas alone, the
pressure at which explosion began
being raised from 3 to 10 Kilograms
per square centimeter. For "a given size
vessel the quantity of acetylene that can
be stored is 80 times greater with ace
tone than without it.

Mr.. Tesla proposed new methods for
the utilization of the power of Niagara.
The most interesting single invention
brought out by Mr. Tesla is, perhaps,
his mechanical and electrical oscillator.
This prime mover or motor il in line
with modern science, because it seeks
to reduce the steam engine to the last
simplicity, to reduce the number of its
parts, to reduce its cost Of construction
and maintenance, and to increase its
value as a prime mover used to produce
electricity. 1t is a steam engine joined
to dynamo, but free from all belts,
gearing or other mechanical transformer
of power. 1t is direct acting, its own
piston rod bearing the armature of the
dynamo. It's invention shows the high
est skill. -Chautauquan.

YELLOW FEVER GERM.
Successful Experiments by Dr. ssnarslli
In Braxil-Seeking q Cure.

Successful Experiments by DE. sansrslu
In Misunderstanding = Cure.
Medical men in Europe have for some
time taken great interest in the expert
ments which are being made by DR..
Sanarelli, with the view Of obtaining
an infallible remedy for yellow fever.
According to the latest reports, these
experiments have now proved q COM
plete success. In other words, a sure
remedy has been found.
Many attempts have been made dur
ing recent years to discover this mi
crobe, but until now they have failed.
DIR. Sanarelli, after long and patient
studies in Brazil and Uruguay, finally
succeeded in isolating and cultivating
it artificially. 1t seems that the microbe
is found in abundance in the stomachs
of those afflicted with the disease, and
that it produces there, like the bacilli
of diphtheria and tetanus, "a very active
poison, which, when once inoculated
into animals, causes them to die with
all the symptoms of yellow fever.
DR.. Sanarelli is at present applying
to yellow fever the same principles of
serumtherapy which have been so sue
oessful in the case Of Group and other
infectious diseases. Hitherto his work
has proved most satisfactory, and, ao-
cording to CASTOR Calmette, an authori-
tative French writer, "there seems no
doubt that within few months we will
be able to combat successfully by means

IN SOCIETY'S CIRCLE.
Music and Elooution Won the applause of Our
Langdon Critics This Week.

Langdon Critics This Week.
An event that Langdon pleasure lovers
one and all pronounce as OF more than
ordinary merit was the double program
OF Monday evening at the Donovan Hall
when the features of elocution and vocal
music were presented in manner that
has never heretofore been reached in this
city. The gold medal contest, under the
direction OF Mr.. Cora R. Clarke. was taken
part in by five silver medalist and was
the second event of it's kind held here
since the Demorest contests were in
augurated six years ago. The task
OF the judges Messrs. Richardson, Cush-
ing and Sheehan and Col. Wentworth, as
refrree, was no easy one all the contestants
scoring we'll in points OF merit, while the
winner, Miss Grace Morgan had less
than two points to spare, with Percy
Abbey a close second.
The musical part OF the program given
by the Ferguson Sisters. whose merit
and prominence as vocallsts gives a
greater pleasure to the people OF Cavalier
county from the fact that until recently
their home has been at the neighboring
town OF Bathgate, was beyond all doubt
the browning event OF the evenings en-
tertainment. Nothing adequate in the
way OF criticism or praise OF their efforts
could with any view OF justice be at
tempted by one not competent to Judge.
Suffice to say that the verdict is generally
given that as soprano and contralto
soloists. our two North Dakota girls,
Misses Frances and Elizabeth Ferguson
have each an exceedingly bright future
before them.
