The second institute this year
in Dublin township was held at
Smiths schoolhouse October 16,
1908. The house was called to
order by the teacher of the
school, Miss Emma Lyle, who ex.
planned the purpose of the meet
ing, and nominated two of her
former teachers, D. X. Chestnut
president of the meeting, and
Miss Lillian Fleming secretary.
After a few remarks by the pres
ldent, there were recitations by
Marguerite Houck, George Wag-
ner and Emory Mccoy.
The question was then taken
up and discussed, How do you
secure and hold interest and at.
tention? Opened by Fl. M. Slpe,
who said teachers must be inter.
ested if they expect to interest
their pupils. They should be full
OF the subjects and put soul into
their work. Miss Baker SAID the
teacher should stand in front of
her class. Mr.. Kell said we may
assist pupils to develop powers
OF concentration by a judlcious
arrangement of the school pro.
gramme, and that sometimes
boys are inattentlve because they
DO not know the practical value
OF the work they are set to do.
Miss Fleming said the best uses
OF the recitation cannot be gain.
ed unless the close attention of
every pupil is secured, and that
we can keep the attention of the
class better by asking questions
tnan by doing most of the talk.
ing, and that we should train our
classes to add thought to the TOD.

FOUND IN THE HOLY LAND.
Discovery In the History OF Pal
estinian Exploration.

A remarkable testimonial to the
truth of Bible history has recently
been discovered in the Holy Land. Ac-
cording to n most reliable authority,
the house in which John the Baptist
was born has been located, and tablet
found in it on which was written the
name of John and his father, Zach
arias.
The method by which this interest
ing and valuable discovery was made
was a most unusual one, and perhaps
the most extraordinary in the whole
history of Palestinan exploration.
says the New York World.
About eight years ago mosaic map
was discovered at Madaba, in the hilly
country east of the Dead sea. This
map, which dates from the fourth or
fifth century, gives the names and loca-
tions of number of places mentioned
in the New Testament.
A native Christian, seeing this map.
noticed that one of the sites was named
Beth Iahar which means "the holrse
of Iacharias." The common tradition
before this time had been that the
house of Zacharias was somewhere
near Ain Karen, west of the city OF
Jerusalem.
A party of archaelogists at once rec
ognized the Importance of the dis
covery and set to work making exca-
vations on the site indicated by the
Madaba map. A few days work
brought to view the mosaic pavement
which was shown from the situation
of the stones to have been a domed
structure, as it was represented in the
pictorial map.
More than this, an inscription was
discovered on the pavement, which,
when interpreted. was found to be the
names John and Zacharas. This in
scription removes all doubt in the mat
ter and shows conclusiv2ly that the
Madaba map was correct. The domed
church. the ruins of which have been
discovered. was very evidently mem-
orial church built on the site of John
the Baptist's birthplace.
The place where the excavations
have been made is 90 kilometres from
Jerusalem and 16 kilometers from He
bron, lying to the right of the road
that connects the two places.
The domed church was situated near
the point where the road crosses the
river Ain Harrub. whose waters Pom
titus PLATE brought to Jerusalem. It
appears to have been fair-sized build
ing. IL meters in length. The domed
roof is significant in view of the fact
that every other ancient building that
has been excavated in the vicinity has
gable roof.
The name given by the natives to the
site was found in Herbat Belt Shnkkar,
which means "the ruins of the house of
Zacharias." The Hebrew word "Beth,'
meaning house, has been Arabianized
into "3eit," and "Zahar" has been
changed by the same process into
"Shakkar."

Order of the Eastern Star.

The following interesting aud in
structive article anent the history aud
teachings of this order was read at a
recent meeting of the local chapter by
one of the members:
The Eastern Star, or Adaptive
Masonry, is the name given to Ger
tain degrees resembling Masonry
and Masonic spirit, which have at
times been invented for ladies who
have claims upon the Order of Free
masonry through relatives who are
members of it. Adaptive Masonry
made its appearance in France in the
early part of the 18th century, and
there is still legal and regular
branch of the institution in that couu :
try. The French rite has four de-
grees: l, Apprentice; 2, Companion;
3, Mistress, 4; Perfect Mistress. The
officers of lodge of Adaptive are
grand tn aster aud a grand mistress ,
an orator, an inspector and an in spec
tress, depositor and a depositrix, a
conductor and conductress. They
wear blue collars with golden trowel
pendent therefrom, white aprons aud
gloves. The members also wear the
jewel of the Order, which is golden
ladder with five rounds on the left
breast. Many of the most distinguish :
ed ladies of Europe have been, and
are now, members of this Order.
Among them were the Duchess of
Bourbon, the Empress Josephine
Lady Montague, Duchess Elizabeth
Chesterfield ,and the Empress Eugenia
The Adaptive Lodges were at first rap
idly diffused throughout all the coun-
tries of Europe, except the British
Empire. But the American Adaptive
rite is better adapted to the United
States, and has excited considerable
interest, and found many powerful
advocates in this country. 1t was in.
troduced into this country in 1878, and
since that time thousands of enlight-
ed people have participated in its GER
emonies. The theory of the order OF
the Eastern Star is founded upon the
Holy writings. Five prominent fe
male characters, illustrating as man,
N asonic virtues, are selected, adoptet
and placed under Masonic protection
Its obligations are based upon the
honor of the female sex, and framed
UPON the priuciples of euuality am
justice.
Those who are entitled to receive
the degrees are Master Masons, theil
wives, widows, sisters and daughters
1t consists of five degrees as follows
1-Jeptha's daughter, or daughter
degree, illustrating respect to the
binding force of a vow; Ruth, o
the widows degree, illustrating devo
tion to religious principles; 3-Esther
or the wife's degree, illustrating 6del
