A Sure Way Of Saving.

An ingenious method of putting his
savings beyond his own reach has been
adopted by German writer who found
from dire experience that all his prof
it's melted away as soon as earned
Having made $4,000 by a fortunate
literary speculation, he placed the
whole of the money, together with his
will, in the Imperial Deposit bank at
Berlin and on receiving the receipt
from the cashier deliberately tore 1t
up. The cashier thought he was mad
and told him angrily that it would take
fully three years before he could ex-
pect to obtain duplicate receipt. THAT
is just why have torn up the origi-
nal" calmly remarked the depositor,
land now the money Is safe for that
time" Golden Penny.

To Erect Million Dollar Memorial.
Triple Link Notes.
At the session Of the sovereign grand
lodge Of Odd Fellows the report Of the
finance committee on the proposed mil
lion dollar memorial building Of Wash
ington lodge of Baltimore was adopt
ed. The lodge was given power to so
licit contributions from lodges and
members Of the order in jurisdictions
outside of Maryland, provided the
grand masters Of the Jurisdictions do
not object. 1t was decided, however,
that the name of the sovereign grand
lodge is in no way to be connected with
the project.
A proposition to admit to member
ship persons of mixed blood was de-
feated by the sovereign grand lodge, as
was also a resolution to grant to the
Patriarchs Militant a direct represen-
tation in the sovereign grand lodge.
There are now 293 lodges in Ontario,
with membership Of 2S,041.
There are at present 5,723 Rebekah
lodges under the immediate Jurlsdlc-
ton of the several state grand bodies
and five under the sovereign grand
lodge, and the total membership Is
about 412,0O0.
There are said to be only five Odd
Fellows lodges in existence working in
the Bohemian language. OF this num-
Der Chicago has two.
A member can be compelled to vote
on matters before the lodge. The law
is that all qualified members must vote
unless excused by the lodge.
The degree Of Rebekah owes its or
igin to the famous Indiana statesman,
Schuyler COlfaX. Before he was a
member of congress, speaker of the
house Of representatives and vice pres
ident Of the United States he was emf
ncnt in Odd Fellowship, and his inter
est continued until his death.
Plans have been completed for the
new Odd Fellows temple to be erected
in New York city. The building will
be five stories high and cost about
$3J0,OOO.

changing a snake into a rod Is still
practiced by the snake charmers. They
touch the snake at 4 certain place in
the neck. when it falls into a cataleptic

The Marriage Knot.

Few Of those who talk about the
marriage knot realize that the knot
was ever anything more than a mere

took a thread of the garment Of the
bride and another from that Of the
bridegroom and tied them into knot.
