A STUDY IN ASTRONOMY.
Is Furnished by Vendors, But straw
berries Are Preferred.

Vendors of strawberries have hit upon
a scheme for classifying measurements
that is very, very clever. 1t has the merit
of attracting the eye of the aesthetic, but
it cannot deceive the eyes of the careful
and observant housewife. Some of the la
dies who have bought the berries sold I'M
der the false plan of measuring have
cried out against it.
Everyone is familiar with the square
baskets in which the strawberries are
marketed. Some astute vender has re-
Gently hit upon the happy thought that
the baskets do not look vel in their
square shape. Actuated. of course, solely
by a desire to add to the beauty of the
basket and to give the luscious berries a
more attractive repository, he decided to
mash in the basket on each side, thereby
giving it the shape of a star.
This had the desired effect. 1t made the
basket look much better and it made the
berries appeal the stronger to the admi-
ration of the epicure. But there was a
result that was not SO pleasing to the
house wife. Experiment demonstrated
that it made the basket lose in capacity
when it's shape was distorted into that
of star. By using star baskets three
of them can be made to hold the contents
of two of the square baskets. That is
clever and ingenious, but there is at least
one lady who is on to the loss in capacity.
The publication of the advice should put
a stop to the practice of the vender.

A Big Saving 10 HOusekeepers.
Snow Drift Lard Compound.

This is one of the most popular lard
products on the market. 1t is selling &c to
Sc cheaper than hog lard. 1t not only
serves just as well as hog lard, but actual
ly is becoming recognized as the superior
of hog lard.
For quality and flavor it is far and
away ahead of any lard compound on the
market. 1t is pronounced so by experts.
Snow Drift is made by the Southern Cot
ton Oil Company of this city. 1t is a
home industry. Our own product. The
Southern Cotton Oil Co. spends thousands
of dollars a week here and deserves the
patronage of the people of Savannah
The grocers of Savannah are placing or
ders lively for Snow Drift and the chances
are that it wiD supersede hog lard and
other compounds.
Snow Drift is kept now by all the lead
ing grocers and If housewives will call for
IT, and try il, they will use nothing else.
They viii find out that it is better than
lard-that it does not impair health as
lard so often does, that ID is cfeau and
free of unpleasant odors. 1t is made by
our own people, for our own people, and
they will support it.--ad.

PYTHIANS GRAND LODGE.
Sir knights Who VIII Represent
Savannah in Brunsick.

The thirty-second annual convention of
the Grand Lodge knights of Pythiss of
Georgia will be held in Brunswick May
p. Savannah will be well represented.
Arrangements are already being made by
the local lodges and Grand Keeper of Rec
ords and Seal William T. Leopold is get
ting his papers and reports in readiness
for the convention.
There are 945 knights of Pythias in Sa-
vennah. Atlanta ranks second in Georgia,
with S04. Mr.. Leopold, who has been
Grand Keeper for the last ten years, says
that the order in Georgia is in -four
ishing condition. When he first began
his duties he only had to keep his eyes
on s. lodges, and now 101 require his at
tention. During the past year twelve new
lodges were organized in the state, the
largest gain in twelve months on record.
One of the features of the convention
will be the competitive drill of the several
uniformed companies in the state. The
rivalry between Brunswick, Augusta and
Savannah is strong, and the contest for
first prize promises to be close. There
are three uniformed companies in Savan-
nah, and 1t is expected that they will at
tend the convention with full ranks.
They are Georgia, No. l; Teu-
tonic, No. 8. and Savannah No. Is
In the call sent out for the convention
attention is especially called to the law
requiring each representative during the
session to wear on the left lapel of his
coat a grand representative jewel, as
prescribed by the Supreme Lodge. Past
supreme chancellors, past grand chancel-
Tors and past chancellors shall wear the
respective jewels of their rank, the SUI
preme representatives and Grand Lodge
officers shall wear the jewels of their re-
spective offices, and unless wearing such
jewels shall not have seats in the Grand
Lodge.
The seven Savannah lodges have al
ready chosen their delegates, and with
the uniformed companies will probably
go to Brunswick on a special train. The
official programme has not yet been an
nounced, but the visitors are assured that
they will be treated royalty. The Savan-
nah delegates and their lodges follows:
Forest City, No l, Dr. M. y. Corbn
and FELTON, B. Ivey; Myrtle, No. 6, +. S.
Mason and j. M. Aikens; Teutonia, No. 8,
J. D. Semken and John Stahner; Excel
sior, No. 8. F. w. Cramer and W. G. SUIT
live; Calanthe, No. 49, Bernard Ehrlich
and A. N. Brown; Chivalry, No. Z, Jacob
Gazan; Savannah, No. g. Harry Karger
and A. c. Craig. This is the largest and
oldest lodge in the state, and enjoys
membership of PIG.
