B'NAI BIRTH MEETING.
President Mayer Includes Leo Pfeifer
 in Trustworthy List.

At the session of istrict Mo- ' Grand lodge, Independent Order of B'nai Firth, which opened Sunday at Mont gCmery, Ala, the annual report of President Louis E. Mayer contained references to matters of much inter- est in Arkansas.
 Among the lodges that show sub- stantial net gains President Mayer mentions the Little Rock lodge Un- der the head of propaganda he refers tc Leo Pfeifer of Little Rock as one ot those to whom he is indebted for contributing materially to the increase Of membership.
 President Mayer also comments on the Hot Springs sanitarium, saying tiat the committee on that project, with Louis Wolsey as chairman, has accomplished much. He adds:
 It is a source of deep regret that q number of our lodges, in spite of the resolution unanimously passed at cur last convention and the appeals of Brother Wolsey, have not sent any contributions to this committee to en- ale it to cope with the ever-increas- ing demands made upon it. If the eighty lodges composing this grand jurisdiction would contribute on an average only ten dollars each, the committee in charge of the relief work at Hot Springs would be able 10 respond to every call made upon it
 'I recommend that the sum of $500 he appropriated from the general fund and placed at the disposal of this committee; and that the lodges of the district be requested to con- tribute such an amount from their ledge funds as the condition of their finances may admit.

me work of Construction.


There remains to consider the actual
work for which these laborers are
gathered together. This is under the
direct control Of Chief Engineer Ste
yens, who has already shown admirable
results ana whom we can safely trust
to achieve similar results in the future
The three big problems of the canal
are the La Boca dams, the Gatun dam
and the Culebra cut
In cuIebra Cut.
The main work is now being done Ia
the Culebra cut 1t was striking and
impressive to see 4he huge steam show
els in full play, the dumping trains
carrying away the rock and earth they
adislodged. The implements Of French
excavating machinery, though of ex
celIent construction, look like the yeri-
est toys when compared with these
new steam shovels. just as the French
dumping cars seem like toy cars when
compared with the long trains of huge
cars dumped by steam plows which
are now in use This represents the
enormous advance that has been made
in machinery during the past quarter
century The old French cars had to
be entirely discarded The new cars
hold from twenty-five to thirty yards
apiece, and instead Of the old clumsy
methods Of unloading them steam
pillow is drawn from end to end OF the
whole vestibuled train, immensely
economizing labor.
AS soon as the type of canal was de-
cided this work began in good earnest
/ The rainy season will shortly be over,
and then there viii be an immense in
crease ia the amount taken out, but
even during the last three months
| steady progress is shown by the fig
ures: In August, 242.O00 cubic yards;
lin September. 29l 600 cubic yards, and
III October. $4,000 cubic yards I hope
to see the growth Of healthy spirit OF
emulation between the different shovel
and locomotive crews, Just such a
spirit as has grown ON our battleships
between the different gun crews in
matters of marksnnanssssf Passing
through the cut the amount of new
work can be seen at a glance. In one
place the entire side Of a hill had been
, taken out recently by twenty-seven
tons Of dynamite, which were exploded
1 At one blast. On the top notch Of the
Culebra cut the prism Is now ais wide
as II will be. All told the canal he'd
at this point has now been sunk about
200 feet below what it originally was.
Il will have to be sunk about $50 feet
farther Throughout the cut the. drIIl-
ing blasting. shoyelng and hauling
are going on with constantly increas-
ing energy. the huge shovels being
| pressed up as If thes were mountain
howitzers into the most unlikely look

Cut and Come Again.

A Quaker in taking his usual walk before dinner chanced to meet with a friend whom he had not seen for a long time, and, after a hearty shake of the hand and little friendly conver- sation, he asked the friend in the usual mode to go home with him, saying:
 "Friend, wilt thou go and stick thy fork in my pudding today?''
 The friend replied in the affirmative. Thank thee, neighbor, will" And so the two Quakers trudged off home to- gether.
 In consequence of the friend being just off journey and q good trencher- man also, he stuck his fork not only in his pudding, but in his meat as well, and, having passed his plate so many times and being almost ashamed to do so again without making an excuse, said:
 "Neighbor, according to custom, cuts and comes again"
 Well, friend" replied the Quaker, thou shalt cut as long as thou think proper, now thou beest here but" look ing him straight in the face, "come again thou never shalt. t."-London Mail.

"What Is PrOprfety Pink 9o

The question, Why is proprlety pink ? Is fallacious. Such expressions as "the pink of propriety" and the pink of perfection" have really nothing to do with color at all, but descend from Mercutio's "very pink of courtesy" which is at once explained by Romeo as @'pink for flower" Romeos expla- nation is either correct or a silly Shakespearean pun, 'pink' really standing for eliminating point acme. In either case color does not come into the matter. The flower "pink' is not named after the color but vice versa-co contrariwise to the case of ''carnation," in which the 1eshy col or has given it's name to the flower A pink" is so named either because the flower is "plnked," as punctured needlework or a punctured duelist is, or because 1t resembles an eyelet-the pink eyne" of 'plumpe Bacchus' in Antony and Cleopa atra"-meaning not pink colored eyes, but eyes half shut, brought to point" Pic" a peak or point, Is the common Celtic ancestor of the various 'piuks. ."-Spectatog.
