How very strange it is that mem
Der of lodge should think-or at least
act as if he did-that ali the duties
and responsibilities rest upon the lodge
and it's officers. The payment of dues
having been made, some brothers dis
appear, formally, Of course, or at least
they seem TO retire into obscurity, and
are not again seen lodgeway until the
next financial period, or when there is a
great or special gathering. For all
they seem to care, the lodge may care
for itself and "runn as it can How
ever, they feel sure somebody will be
at the meetings, fill the stations, keep
the records and care for the finances.
Is this right? Is it complying with
the solemn and binding obligations
taken? Is it fair to those who are
faithful to their VOWS TO leave the entire
care and burden to them? OF course,
this is largely due to carelessness, not
to an entire lack of Interest," but comes
from an Indifference born of inattention.

Telephones In Bed.

One of the most ingenious applica-
lions OF the telephone is the portable
form, which is known as the portable
hospital telephone. Its particular use
is to enable people in sickroom in
which an infectious disease is being
nursed to communicative with the peo-
pie in the rest of the house.
In hospitals this simple adaptation of
the telephone to the requirements of the
situation will be found invaluable, but
an even greater field for its utility will
be the private house.
The irksomeness of having some of
the infectious diseases in mild form is
multiplied tenfold by the enforced Sc
clusion Of the patient, who is suddenly
cut off from intercourse with the rest
of the family. Now, by the mere ad-
dition Of this little instrument to the
furniture Of the apartment, it is posi-
BILE for sick person to keep up con-
versation with any member of the rest
of the family, and in this way the te-
dium which is inseparable from the
compulsory isolation may be relieved.
Furthermore, the nurse will by its
means be saved good many journeys,
even in noninfectious cases, for she can
ask for things to be brought to her at
odd times which in the ordinary
course she would have to go for, or at
lest ring bell and have some one
come to the door to ask what she re-
quired. Weekly.

of 1918 at this time, the first week of

we'll in the chase, or the frame in which
twas locked up, and then I'd call in

The Great DANE DOG.

The Great Dane, the exhibition dog
Of today and growing eyary day in favor
as beautiful and biddable dog, is
the modern representative of the boar
hound. On the continent, where it's
Danish origin is repudiated, it is called
the German mastitf, and under this
head all it's varieties are classed at
shows, while in this country we call it
the Great Dane and catalogue under
that name all the varieties of German
mastiff, SO shat, taking the one with
the other, the dog comes by its rights.

Inconvenient.

James Payn recalls that when young
and romantic he agreed with a friend
to ascend Helvellyn from Thirlmere to
see the sun rise. The guide called them,
as it seemed to Mr.. Payn, in the mid
die Of the night, and he quite agreed
with his friend when the latter persua-
sively asked the guide, who was expa-
tiating on the beauties Of the dawn,
"Don you think that the sunset would
be almost as beautiful?'' This recalls

by the dean of the college for not COM
