 The lodge had the honor of having present r. J. Dempsey. supreme Warden of the order. who assisted them in getting matters tO running regularly and smoothly. which is all ways a great help to a new lodge. NIT. Dempsey is a very genial gentle man. as well as a great enthusiast in the order and was warmly wei cOmed by the MOderns here.
 Five new members were initiated last night. making the qualified mem bership reach nearly sixty of the best citizens of Prescott. The lodge voted to reopen the charter for a limited time in order to give several parties who desire to join the order an Op- portunity to do so at a minimum cost
 Supreme Warden Dempsey will probably remain in Prescott several days. devoting his time to building up the already flourishing lodge.

PREVENT SPREAD OF PLAGUE

Galveston, Tex, April 19.-There is q theory that rats spread the bubOnic plague. Such vessels as have come to gulf ports from Brazilian and Asi- atic plague spots have been carefully watched to prevent any rats from the steamers reaching the shore. At New Orleans and at Galveston ships that come from Calcutta, Bombay and Santos are not permitted to moor at the piers or wharves, but, after fumi- gaticn. discharge cargo onto barges. While the cargo is being transferred from the vessel a guard is stationed to kill all rats which attempt to leave he ship to prevent their getting to shore.

THE ENEMIES OF PROGRESS.

It was a level-headed man who made the following observation: Did you ever notice that it is the fellows who never go down into their jeans and dig up for charitable purposes, and seldom drop a cent of money in their home town. and are scarcely able to rub two nickles together, that are the lads who work their jaws and swing their tongues the hardest against public improvements? If you have not. just keep your eye peeled for awhile. It's as true as gospel"

SPARROwS PURSUE A CAT.
How a Tabby Lost Her Life by In
dulgIng Her MaraudinK
DispOsitiOn.

The ivy which climbs the north wall
OF the United. Congregational church
in Newport, r. T., furnishes retreat
for thousands of sparrows. A cat had
noticed the birds, and no doubt con-
ceived the unreasonable idea that here
she might possibly find nest with
toothsome young bird in it. So pussy
climbed the ivy and reached a point
where she had seen one of the birds
disappear amid the :. thick Leaves
Stretching Out its paws where it sup
posed a nest would be loud chatterinp
ensued and myriad of sparrows dart
ed out and attacked the cat with fury.
It was indeed a vicious onslaught.
They pecked and chartered and flut-
tered at a4great rate and the cat was
bewilderedn To free itself from the
assault the cat spit and fought and
howled, but it was Of no use, the birds
kept at it until their enemy fell to
the ground. This did not stop the COM
bat OF the birds. They kept pecking
away until they were tired. The cat
did not move and occasionally spar
row would drop to the ground a safe
distance from it's enemy, As If to see
1t it was dead Soy7e little time after

POROUS BURNING BRICK.
1t II Soaked with Kerosene, and TheM
Burned in the Place of
Fuel.

NJ. Anatole Brebant's invention OF
a burning brick is singular and eco
nomical. 1t IS composed of mix
ture of metals. silicates and various
other incombustible and refractory
matters. which. in small space and
with little weight, imprison a large
amount of heat-producing matter,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
brick is very porous and is used as
follows: An appropriate liquid alco-
moi or kerosene is poured upon it. a
lighted match is applied, and the re-
suit is a beautiful hot fire. It lasts
for long time and can be extin-
guished readily.
After a short while the intense
heat produced by the combustion OF
the liquid is considerably augmented
by that of the metallic mass. The
brick IS made in two sizes. The do
nestle brick. for heating rooms and
cooking, weighs four ounces and
gives fame 90 by 10 inches.
The military brick, for soldiers and
explorers, is about double the weight
of the domestic one. The brick is de-
Gvered in a tin box. in which it can
be thoroughly soaked in alcohol or
kerosene. and is then ready for use.

A recent writer has described the
cactus as 1.-The vegetable Gamer of the
desert" This plant can not only go
for months without water, but at the
end of the period is capable of fur
nishing cupful of refreshing fluid
from its roots. Similarly the kurra-
jong and "supplejack" of the dry dis
tricts of Australia can remain alive
without water for periods sometimes
measured by years, and the former.

CARELESS WITH JEwELRY.
Many Women Leave Watches and
Rings Around Where Thieves
May Get Them.

"A majority of women, though care
full to a degree in other things, are no.
toriously careless about their watches
and jewels. They lay them down
wherever they chance to be when
changing their raiment, and not infre-
quently the valuables are carried off
by a dishonest servant or guest. In
other respects the feminine reckless
ness as to consequences is displayed.
Of course, it doesn't injure a ring to
put it on a cold marble slab at night
nor to drop it occasionally to the
brick pavement, but it does ruin the
setting of the jewels to have tight
glove pulled On over them; yet there's
hardly a member of the sex, unless
she wears SO many finger ornaments
that it's impossible to get glove over
them, who does not subject them to
such severe treatment, and wonders
she values.
One young woman always ties her
rings UP in a corner of her handker-
chief when she puts on her gloves, and
then tucks her handkerchief up her
sleeves, and she considered this very
good way until she lost the mouehoir
with its contents of four the other
day, when she began to believe she'd
been a little thoughtless with her
treasures.
1t is said by the porters Of sleep
ing cars and the matrons of various
public places, however, that fewer
rings are left now on washstands than
was the case few years ago, and this
is probably because large proportion
of womankind seems to have made it
a rule to keep such ornaments in their
mouths while they battle their hands.

GOOD BAPTfSMAL STORIES.
One of the Twins Died and the Sur

Names.

A minister was baptizing boy OF
The names given were Benjamin Jo-
seph. After the ceremony he said to
the boy: "You have two very good
names and you ought to be a good
boy; how did you come by them?"
''Please, SIR said the boy, 1--WE was
twins. and the other died" Another
correspondent says: "At Ramsbury
manor there once resided a poulterer's
family of the name of Duck. The
third son was to be christened and the
mother wanted the name to be Will
liam. just before starting to church
the nurse ran upstairs to the father,
who was laid up with the govt, to tell
him they were off. What be they go
ing to call un, nurse?' 'Missus says
it's to be William was the reply.
William be blowed,' said the invalid,

with these laconic instructions tho
nurse gave the name to the clergy
accordingly" Ono Titchiner, of Peck
ham, was named under the following
circumstances: On arriving at the
church his name was not settled upon,
and when the clergyman said: "Name

JOHN and another said: "Oh, no."

WAS CARRIED OVER NIAGARA.
Man Who Was Borne ON BIOnNin's
Shoulders Across the Gorge
Still Lives.

The man whom Blondin carried
across the gorge of Niagara on a tight
rope is still living in Chicago at the
age of 72. His name is Harry Coicord
and his business that of portrait and
landscape painting. AS the story of
his exploit existed only in newspaper
files, Mr.. Jarvis Blume, justice of the
peace of Chicago, has issued pamph-
let containing the first connected ac-
count, and it abounds in thrilling de-
tails. Colcord in his early days spent
four years on whaler. His physique
was we'll seasoned when he fell in with
Blondin, and his weight 1875 pounds,
says the ST. Louis Clio be-Democrat. In
crossing Niagara his chief part was to
forget that he had the power of indie
pendent movement. Three times he
was carried over on the rope, and that
was enough, for the horror of the
business grew upon him.
When be has the nightmare now it
takes the form of hanging on Bloncin's
shoulders and gazing down on the
masses of people and swirling waters
270 feet below. Blondin stumbles and
he wakes up feeling that the dream
affects him more than did the reality.

HUSBANDRY IS VERY OLD.
TiIIing the Soil Was Doubtless Man.,
EarlieSt Occupation-Cereal
Cultivated.

The origin of agriculture is lost in
the miss of antiquity. We know that
in Neolithic times in Europe eight
kinds of cereals were cultivated, be-
sides fax, peas, poppies, apples, pears
bullace, plums, ETC., at the same time
various animals were domesticated.
Among these were horses, short
horned oxen, horned sheep, goats, two
breeds of pigs and dogs. Prof. w.
Boyd Dawkins says that evidence goes
to show that these animals were not
domesticated in Europe, but probab bly,
in the central plateau of Asia. He
also thinks that agriculture arose in
the south and east of Europe, and
spread gradually to the center, north
and west. A hunting population is
often very averse to even the slight
amount of work that agriculture re-
quires in a tropical country. The
same holds good, as rule, for pas
toral communities. In all cases pow
erful constraint is necessary to force
these people into uncongenial employ
ment. Fate is stronger than will, and
at various periods in different chimes
hunters and herders have been forced
to till the soil.
