requirements and with the ability and
experience necessary to make his adj
ministration of affairs a success.
Fraternity lodge of Salem recently
celebrated its fifty-tifth anniversary.
James S. Culbcrson Of Caldwell has
presented the Missouri Odd Fellows
home with a fine volume entitled The
official History of Odd Fellowship, the
Three Links of Fraternity"
The grand lodge of Minnesota has
voted to exclude druggists and hotel
keepers from the order in that state.
This is rather a sweeping law.
Jacob Dilcher has no opposition to
another term as grand representative
of New York. He will soon be among
the very few in long continuous serv
ice in the sovereign grand lodge, at the
last session OF which he was signally
honored by appointment on three i'm
portant committees.
The grand lodge and grand encamp-
ment of Pennsylvania have nominated
officers. The election occurs in March.
The growth and success of the Re
bekah degree is without parallel. 1t
started in 1851 amid opposition and
now has a membership of cG7, 100.
The judiciary and appeals commit
tees of Illinois have rendered twenty
six opinions and passed upon 1872 sets
of bylaws during the past year.
The prominent candidates for grand
warden of Pennsylvania are G. II.
Banes, Robert Graham. Herman Beck
er and James Montgomery.
The profounder ones knowledge of
of the truths taught by Odd Fellow
ship the greater ones humility.
The grand master of Missouri decid-
ed that the noble grand has not the
right to restrain Il member who desires
to depart and refusing to recognize
him would not prevent him from retir-
ing from the lodge.

POINTERS ON MANlCURlNG

When the nails are fragile. a little
wax and alum rubbed upon them will
strengthen them. If brittle. n little
almond oil or cold cream will be found
beneficial.
To remove white spots from the nails
use mixture of refined pitch and lit
tie myrrh upon them at night, wipin9
it off the next morning with olive oil.
When about to manicure the hands
dip the fingers into warm. soapy wa
ter and hold them there for minute
or two in order to soften the nails and
the scarfSkin about them.
The scarfskin should be gently push
ed back from the nails before they are
polished. 1t should never unless absO-
lutcly necessary be cut with the scis-
sOrS.
Agnails. improperly called hangnails,
may be prevented by proper attention
TO the scarfskin which surrounds the
nails.
For manicuring only pair of curved
nail scissors. a nail file. an orange stick,
a chamois polisher, bottle of vaseline
and IL box of rose Salve or nail powder
are ncccssary.-Mary Il. Walker. NJ.

COSTLY PLATE.
Some London Companies Have Old
and Interesting Services.

Few people, at least in this country,
possess plate worth such fabulous
sum as that owned by LOndon's lord
mayor during his term of office. Its
face value has been computed to be
slightly over 100000, though three
times that amount would not buy it
owing to the historical interest attach
ed to many Of the articles.
The two solid silver soup tureens
which are employed at the banquet to
distribute 100 gallons Of clear turtle to
the guests are valued at 900 apiece
and are said to have been in possession
of the corporation for over n century.
Moreover, there are gross of silver
dinner plates worth f1,5Oo. 200 ice
pals valued at nearly $1,000, 200 en-
tree dishes, the cost Of which $1,000
would not cover; so solid silver meat
dishes worth another $1,000, and hum
drcds of other articles such as grape
scissors, salt cellars, wine cups, wait
ers' trays, decanter labels, etc, all OF
solid gold or silver and valued at over
$1,000.
This collection of plate is constantly
being increased. for every lord mayor
at the expiration Of his term of office
is expected to add an item, the cost of
which must not be lower than 100
guineas.
In addition the lord mayors official
regalia is costly in the extreme. The
diamond pendent that hangs about his
neck could not be bought for f1,Oo0,
and his collar cost a quarter of that
sum, while his pearl sword necessitat-
ed the corporation spending 5000 when
it was new.
But the other companies In the city
possess plate Of even greater value.
The Goldsniths, for instance, own the
most priceless collection, the worth OF
which it is impossible to estimate. 1t
includes Queen Elizabeths coronation
cup. for which an offer of $4,000 was
refused some time ago. The Fishmon-
gers company boasts of. among other
things, silver chandelier. and csti-
mates of its value have never fallen
below f3250.-London Tit-Bits.
