NEW EMERGENCY RATION.
of Deef-Wiu BE Tested
by the Army.

More appropriations are being used
by the war department to test another
emergency ration, but before. this is
done the chemists of the agricultural
department Will analyze it. 1t is one
of the SIMPLEX yet tested and there is
no danger o8Knose eating it becoming
poisoned as ,1as been the case in a num-
ber of instances. The ration consists
of miySure of wheat -four and dried
beef, made up in the shape of hardtack.
1t is not ordinary dried beef, but the
ealoicest cuts of fresh beef are cut up
and mixed with the wheat flour. The
only reason the, new ration has been
submitted to the agricultural depart
ment is to learn if it contains enough
nutriment to sustain the soldiers on
the test march which will be made.
It is already known the ordinary
hard tack is the best ration yet used,
and that soldiers will march further
and fight better. on diet of this kind
than any other one article of food. 1t
is believed when a quantity of good
beef is added to the wheat flour an
emergency ration will be had which
will not only sustain the men, but will
be convenient to transport, and this is
the chief consideration in matter of
this kind.
There is band of Indians of South
America who exist alone on dried beef,
and they are the hardest of their race,
and can ride farther and stand more
hard work and privations than any 9th
er tribe known. The knowledge of the
food on which these Indians live prob
ably had something to do with the sest
to be made. -

MASONIC.


Election of officers by AccIamatfon.
Chips From the Temple.
To slect an officer by acclamation is
not contrary to Masonic usage. The
oldest grand lodge in the, world, that of
England, has so chosen her grand mas
ter ever since 1T1T. In many of our
Oldest grand lodges in the United
States it is a custom TO do so when oc-
casion requires In the grand lodge of
Massachusetts few years since all the
grand offers were thus chosen. We
like the custom, as it demonstrates the
true spirit of Masonry and that there
is no rivalry, no i'll feeling, as is often
displayed in elections where some ia
vorite is defeated after a bitter con-
test.-Masonic Sun.
Past grand officers by brevet are
quite common in England. The Prince
of Wales made 25 recently tocommem-
century of his tenure of Office as grand
master of the grand lodge of England.
San Francisco chapter of the Royal
Arch Masons will celebrate it's golden
jubilee on July by banquet.
Preparations for the Albany Masonic
fair are actively proceeding. 1t will be

who has filled that position for upward
Of 20 years, has been presented with a
silver service and loving cup, with up
ward of $500.
Masons of Illinois recently assembled
in Chicago to celebrate the fact that
the $500,000 endowment fund for the
Illinois Masonic Orphans home is as
sured.
Masonry is by no means a religion.
Some enthusiasts have foolishly argued
that it is, even going so far as to say
that it is good enough church for any
one. Very fortunately, this is the
opinion of only a small minority whose
influence will never have great weight.
An Indiana lodge has passed a bylaw
fixing dues at 81 year, excepting
such members as live beyond radius
of two miles from the Masonic temple,
who shall pay So a year."
In May, 1866, Amariah v. Haynes Of
Woburn became member of Mount

UNITED WORKMEN
Splendid Growth of the Order-Work-
shop Gleanings.

On May the A. o. U. w. reached
membership of 4O1,072. About year
ago Supreme Master John G. Bickford,
in his first circular to the membership
throughout the United States, express
ed the hope that when the next su-
preme lodge meets the membership Of
the order will have reached 100000.
Judging from the net increase during
the last three years on the day of the
supreme lodge session at Sioux Falls,
the order will have reached a men,
bership of about 100000. The relief
fund up to date amounts to nearly
100000. This is the fund in the hands
of the supreme receiver, subject to any
call of grand jurisdiction in case such
jurisdiction should be unable to pay
it's own claims Immediately.
Missouri is after that $4,000 supreme
lodge prize for next year and to get it
must make net gain Of about 5000
members.
Sick benefits are paid by subordinate
lodges as provided by the bylaws, but
this feature is left entirely within the
control of each separate lodge to ar
range as the members may desire.
Old members on reaching the age of
55 are protected from excessive cost by
the distribution of the added sum need
ed to maintain their risk, being divided
per capita among the entire member
ship.
During these % years the order in
Missouri has disbursed to the widows
and orphans Of it's deceased members a
little over $0,000,000, or at the rate of
$360,000 per annum.

THE TRADE IN CHICAGO.

Chicago. June 13 tSpeciaD--To-night's wheat
prices about the same last nights. although
the market opened off a cent and although Mime
sofa and South Dakota had heavy showers last
night On the breaks the Northwest led the buy
ing. The spring wheat crop has been as
bullish The best authorities. and. indeed.
pretty nearly all the Northwestern authorities. de-
clared wheat had suffered irreparable loss; that
showers would repair the damage and that
even long, drenehing rains would avail only to
a portion. To-day's specializing experience
unexpected. for it has been assumed the first
heavy rains would give the holders a severe ex-
perience. On the contrary. the people who have
bought to-day's break have made money. July
opened at 721ec I24c sold between 72lzc and T+c
and closed at 1872 to 1850. July has kept 1i.c
premium. closing at T444c 10 74Tsc. The sgnif-
cant fact has been that the Northwest has led IN
the buying. The selling has been by local longs
who had profits. and who were made tirnid by the
showers. There has been a big trade. A Mime
apolis message from Of the largest OF the
spring wheat elevator concerns. said: THE rains
to-day will undoubtedly DO much 70 preserve what
wheat is left; but they will put any new stools
on the plant nor lengthen the heads. which are al
ready formed The rains will help the late sown
wheat. but that is a very small proportion Of the
area not over Is per cent" This message is typi-
cal OF all received from the spring wheat country

quence the banks likely to show another loss

movement continues for any length of time, money
rates may rule triie higher. but 1t Is not ex-
pected that money will be dear any time this sum-
mer especially if the demand from mercantile and
stock market sources remains light as 1t is at
present. Strength in demand sterling and the de-
cline in Paris exchange on London warrant gold
shipments to Paris without much inducement from
the Bank of France while for the present there is
no prospect of gold coming here from London. 1t
is interesting note that money conditions in the
West favorable and that Western bank Off
do not expect to call the East for
great amount of cash for crop movement purposes.
OF course, II this centre is forced to supply more
money than is now estimated the local banks will
receive assistance from the Treasury.
