At its late session, the Grand
Lodge of Kansas adopted the deputy
system and in regard to its opera
ton and effect G. M. w. Crider
says: "The provision for deputy
system to supplement the individual
efforts of the members, will, it seems
to me, make us more of a force in
obtaining applications for member
ship, and create sentiment in
favor of our scheme of protection as
against any other thing in chat line
now being offered to the public.
But don't forget this; the basis of
our growth and success must still
remain the individual effort of the
member"

From the reports of the secular
press the "ban" that hitherto pre-
vented the members of the Catholic
Church from affiliating with the
secret societies has been removed
and they can now take prominent
part in promoting the best interests
of fraternal Orders without ieopar-
dizing their associations with the
rules governing the Catholic Church
in America. While this may not
affect the numerical strength of
fraternal Orders, it is evident that
the potent influence for good of these
Orders are being recognized and
appreciated by the influential
ciergymen of that denomination.
1t is not only victory for fra
ternity, but ii fitting tribute to the
true Americanism of Archbishop
Ireland and his co-workers who
have been friendly to all fraternal
Orders.-K. c. Echo.

This is an age when upon all
sides one is continually looking for
misrepresentations and dishonest
dealings. The life agent has long
been looked upon as IA person who
needed watching on account of his
ability to juggle with figures. Pos
tive proof of the truth is what the
present age demands. To increase
trade and prove honesty a local coal
dealer delivers coal in wagons
which have scales inserted between
the box and running gears. The
customer is invited to weigh the
coal upon its arrival at his house
and also To see that the scales bal
ance after the load has been remOv-
ed. Along this line of thought it
would be great relief to the gener-
al public and quite an advantage
to insurance agents if scales could
be adjusted to their computations
in such manner that all would be
convinced as to the truth and accu-
racy of their figures.-E1.

When we speak of the infusion
of young blood into the Orders
veins we usually have only the
death rate question in mind. That
is to say, we have in mind the ne
cessity of having the average age
of the membership reduced, which
in it's turn Of course will reduce
the death rate. But youthful blood
has other uses The admission of
young men not only has a benefic-
ial effect upon the Orders mortali-
ty, but it affects the Order in other
ways, any one of which is hardly
less important than that directly
proceeding from a lower death rate.
The young man not only has be-
fore him the promise "f long life;
he is "a gain to the Order also be-
cause he is active, progressive, hope
ful. When man gets into years
he loves to favor himself as much
AS possible. He does not take
kindly to progress of any kind; he
is quite content to let well enough
alone. In fact, rather than to forge
ahead. he would rather drop a little
to the rear. Instead of searching
out new plans and approved meth
ods, he clings to the discredited
methods of lang syne; while he
pooh. .poohs aud sneers at all sug-
gestions that have the least novelty
about them. The young man feels
that the Order is worth working
for, and that he does work for it.
The old man, or the man past mid
die life. feels that the Order was
made for his benefit, that he is do
ing it favor by being in it, and
by consequence he gives little
thought to the Order anu very much
to himself
Even in his boastfulness, the old
man proves that it is not be, but
the young man upon whom the
Order can depend for the increase
OF its membership and the exten-
sion of its influence, for when he
tells you of the hard work he has
put in for the Order, he is not tell
ing you what one of the old men
did, but he is speaking of the WORK
of a young man. Although this
young man was himself a very diff
ferent person from his present self.
He was then useful member,
which can hardly be affirmed of
the young man grown old; al
though there are, thank goodness,
some exceptions to the rule. AS
some men grow old gracefully, so
there are men who in their years
retain u good deal of their boyish
enthusiasm. and who are still
hopeful, progress i've, active.
We need young blood, then, in
order not only to reduce the death
rate, but to arouse the Order into
activity and keep it up to date in
ways and means. But while the
Order needs the young men, the
young men who unite with it will
find that in the old men there is a
certain element of strength which
is not to be disregarded. The old
members are useful in preventing
the young ones going too far III any
direction, and to warn them against
entering ways that are known by
the old men to be dangerous. A
union Of old and young is to be
preferred to an Order where all are
young. In the former we have the

Jan. il not comparable as public
holiday with Christmas as 10 the uni
versatility or antiquity Of its observance.
Before l752 the year began on March
25. The change in the calendar was
made in that year for Great Britain by
an act Of parliament and we inherited
the existing custom Of marking the be-
ginning of the year from the mother
country. The day was not observed In
colonial times with the formality which
has marked its observance in later years.
After the colonies had adjusted business
affairs TO the new date, the LIST Of Janu-
airy grew in Importance and in course Of
time became a legal holiday.
An interesting incident Of the change
Of the calendar in 1852 was the drop
ping Of IL days, between Sept 2 and
IL. giving that month only 10 days. TO
bring the English into harmony with
the Gregorian calendar. The omission
of the IL days attracted great interest
and long notice Of the proposed innovs-
ton was given in the newspapers Of the
1CTlDu, So lDdt uANluct- audAle SOuAQ 10
accommodated 10 what was called the
new style A" The act Of parliament cor
recting the calendar also ordained that
the years 1900. 1900, 2l00. 1900, $500
or any hundredth year, except only
every fourth hundredth. shall not be
deemed leap years. but shall be consid-
cred common years Of 365 days only and
that the years 1000, 24O0, $500 and
every fourth hundredth shall be leap
years con sisting Of 500 days
Every year whose number is divisible
by four is leap year, except only when
the number ends with 90, in which case
il is leap year only when the preceding
figures are divisible by four. BY this
rule the year 1900 will not be leap
year, while the year COCO will be. BY
this ingenious Arrangement, says Q
writer, "our almanacs are kept in har.
mony as nearly as may be with the great
clock Of the skies. the only perfect time
