putting on the work the custom has grown
into an unwritten but invariable law that
there shall be at least twenty candidates
for initiation before a ceremonial session
is held. with this number Of initiates and
a degree team drawn probably from a dozen
towns in the jurisdiction of the temple.
the work is started early in the evening
with a banquet.
The banquets Of the Knights of Khoras-
san have attained n reputation unique in
lodgCdom for their completeness In every
detail. This, as with a few other societies
has given the unenlightened an idea that
the lodge is convivial rather than elevat
ing, but according to the evidence of mem
bers, such is not the case. as the time
devoted to the banquet is short, while the
time devoted to benevolent and charitable
out, and that the refreshing banquet is
more or less public, while the hard work
which precedes them is known only &c
those who are present.
After a few months Of no ceremonial ses-
sions Moquaddem temple, the Omaha or
ganization, will hold a ceremonial session
October IA, at which a number OF tyros vii
be initiated into the mysteries whicN
thrown around the inner sanctuary
order, and the customary banquet will be
served to all members, who Jh the vernac-
ular of the lodge are known as 'votaries.'

1"7HE Dramatic Order knights of
Khorassan, seven years old last
~ month, is one of the important
NWNN& social orders of the country,
- springing to prominence almCst
Immediately upon the organization of the
imperial palace at Chicago, September 26,
1895.
1t was organized by a number of repre-
sentatives to the supreme lodge Knights of
Pythias who found within the parent or
ganization much that was good, but that
there was a place for sociability and for
of the order could not be introduced, and
that among the Members of the knights
there were many congenial spirits who were
willing to join hands to promote a society
where sociability would be the chief aim and
where they could commune with each other
for mutual benefit. The essential qualifca-
tion for membership in the dramatic order
is prior membership in the Knights Of
Pythias and under the present laws for
fixture of membership in the knights Of
Pythias %forfeits membership in the knights
of KhOrassan. At the same time the two
organizations are distinct in their work and
government, neither exercising authority
over the other, and the Knights of Kho-
rassan asking for no recognition from the
knights of Pythias.
AS stated by its members the fundamental
teaching of the dramatic order is the

IS a sickly white, like parchment; the nos

bridged-the Armenian nose, his subjects
will whisper in contempt. His eyes, what
one sees of them, for he turns his head
neither to right nor left, are d~eep-set and
black. Those who know him best say that
he has a peculiar way Of moving his head,
as if he were always seeking 90 look behind
him, to pry out secrets, to surprise hidden
motives. His beard is deep blue-black, as
are his eyebrows; naturally they would be
gray, but he dyes them, for the sultan must
never look old. To his generals he leaves
all the pomp and display Of gold lace and
tinsel; for himself he is clad wholly In
black, like a eunuch, without rnamenta-
ton Of any kind. TIL Raven, he has been
called, and the raven he looks. The sultan
is not really a very old man-only 60 years

One Of the q]ueerest of French authors,

lived and wrote his poetry at the morgue,

was a quiet place Of rest for travellers from
all countries. He dwelt at the morgue for
thirty-two years before he retired on a
pension.

The late Prof. Virchow was one of the
guests of the Victoria university when
Lord Lister received an honorary degree.
The large audience which witnessed the
ceremony was astonished to see Lord Lis
ter stop suddenly in the address which he
was delivering, and shake his fist fercely
at Prof. Virchow. Lord Lister, who is no
orator, had his speech written out on a
number Of sheets of paper, and Virchow
before the meeting had expressed a great
desire to see the manuscript and had taken
the opportunity to throw the papers into
hopeless confusion.
In an article in the Century on Mark

Henry NJ. Wharton offers fresh evidence

at whom millions have laughed, was a
neighbor of Mr.. Clemens, and one night
in a public address told his audience the
time would come when we could take a
train at Hannibal and ride to Puget Sound
without a change Of cars. The villagers
laughed his assertion to scorn, for then the

An eminent Scotch surgeon and professor
in the University of Edinburg was entirely
devoted to his profession. The poet Ten
nyson had at one time consulted him about
some affection Of the lungs. Years after
ward he returned on the same errand. On
being announced he was nettled to observe
that Mr.. Syme had neither any recollection
of his face, nor, still more calling, any
acquaintance with his name. Tennyson
thereupon mentioned the fact Of his former
visit. Still Syme failed to remember him.
But when the professor put his ear to the
poets chest and heard the peculiar sound
which the old ailment had made chronic,
he at once exclaimed: "Ah, | remember
you low! | know you by your lung Can
you imagine a greater humiliation for a
poet than to be known, not by his Tyre,
but by his lung?

OUTBREAK OVER COAL FAMINE.

Relief Coal Yard.

New York (SpeciaD 1.-The first out
break due to the coal famine occurred
acre Sunday. A great horde OF men,
women and children gathered at the
relief depot in Delaney street. Anger
I'd at finding the coalyard closed, they
started to force the doors.
That the outbreak was not more ser
ious was due to the good Judgment OF
Joseph Cohen, proprietor OF the yard,
and the action OF policemen from the
Eldredge Street Station.
Cohen Gained the excited mob by
promising that each should get at
least one pail OF coal. The policemen
instead OF clubbing. as at the Rabbi
Joseph funeral, pleaded with the peo'
pie for order, and peace was restored.
For about 10 minutes. however, "
looked as if there would be a seriou!
outbreak.
No. So Delaney street is one Of the
yards selected by the coal operators
from which to sell to the poor at the
rate OF IS cents a pail. Tenement:
abound on every side, with 20 families
or about hundred persons, to each
house.
The outbreak was in the morning
Several women in search OF coal hat
wandered from one street to another
pleading for a pail OF coal for IS cents
but none was to be had at that price
as the regular price was IS cents.
