long as was this most interesting ad- dress the 400 or 300 delegates listened with almost sainted attention. It is said that the address was one of the most remarkable on account of the detailed information it contained and the accurate knowledge the Grand Master had of the condition of the lodges throughout the jurisdiction ever before presented to the brethren of the craft. It was shown that the lodges throughout the jurisdiction for the most part, are prospering and are looking forward to greater prosperity because of the most excellent pros poets of an enormous crop this year.

Tho Treasury Vaults.

The first question the average WIS.,
itor to the United States treasury
building asks is, Couldn't burglars
tunnel under the vaults and rob the
government" Well, that is not likely.
An armed guard sits beside the vaults.
Every twenty minutes he is required
to ring an alarm just to show that he
is awake. An armed patrol makes the
rounds hourly. Secret service men in
plain clothes, with concealed weapons,
keep watch and ward outside and in
side the building. As to tunneling, the
officials hold that if a man by any pos
sibility should manage to bore under
meath vault the heavy metal would
crush him to jelly, thus administer
ing lasting gold cure. Even If the
tunnel burglar should get away with
bis life he could not get away with
much gold. Ten thousand dollars In
double eagles weighs thirty-eight
pounds. Forty million dollars In gold
certificates of the $4,000 denomination
weighs eleven and a half pounds.
Even burglars prefer the gold certid-

First Silver Wedding.

The first silver wedding dates back
to the time Of Hughes Capet. The serv-
ants, says Home Chat, belonging to
him had grown gray in his service, a
man and woman, and what could he
do as reward? Calling the woman,
he said: 'sYour service is great, greater
than the mans, whose service is great
enough, for the woman always finds
work harder than man, and therefore
I will give you reward. At your

journalistic Revenaes.

The curious boycott Of the press In
the Berlin parliament had a precedent
In the mother Of parliaments, the Brit
ish house of commons. A writer in
Harper's Weekly recalls that the per-
son involved was no less a celebrity
than the late Daniel O'Connell. He
condemned the inaccuracy of the par
liamentary reports, but he forgot to
make allowance for acoustic difficulties
and the buzz Of intervening CONVERSE
ton. He charged the reporters with
the malicious suppression of his speech
es, and the gallery then refused to re-
port him at all. Dan stormed and
Numbered in vain, even moving that
the ringleaders be brought to the bar
Of the house. Finally he apologized,
and all was we'll. Lord Lyttleton In
1871 fell foul Of the press in the same
way, and the late Lord Monteagle had
his name omitted from London news
paper reports for two years because he
said something the reporters did not
like.

READING In Bed.

Reading In bed, like most luxuries,
can be overdone. In fact, there seems
to be only one excuse for this fas-
cinating way Of ending the day. Ger.
tain people find that their worries ac-
cumulate In their brains after bed.
time. Their nerves are at high tension,
and their minds are actively at work
trying to solve problems that should
have been left behind In the city.
Going to bed with the brain In such
a state means that with nothing to dis
tract the thoughts, hearing nothing
and seeing nothing in the darkness,
imagination has full sway and hours
Of wakefulness may be the result.
Such a man, we think, will find half
an hours reading in bed great help.
With careful attention paid to the
quality and position Of the light so
that without Pickering 1t shines over
the shoulder and directly on to the
page the much maligned habit Of read
Ing in bed has sometimes very bene-
fetal effect on tired and overwake-
full brain.-Family Doctor.

Check Your Passion.

An old man was once walking with
little boy They came across -four
shrubs. The old man said to his youth
full companions:
Pull up the least one"
He obeyed with ease.
"Now the next"
He obeyed. but il did not come SO
easily.
And the third"
1t took all his strength to move its
roots, but he succeeded.
-Now the fourth"
In vain the lad put forth all his
strength. He only made the leaves
tremble. He could not move the roots.
They had gone strongly into the earth,
and no effort could dislodge them.
Then the wise old man said to the
ardent youth:
This. my son, is just what happens
with our passions. When they are
young and weak one may by a little
watchfulness over self and the help of
little self denial easily tear them up,
but II we let them cast their roots
deep into our souls there is no human
power can uproot them. For this rea.
son, my child, watch well over the first
movements of your soul and study by
acts of virtue to keep your passions
well In check"

AN INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION.

only that the gelding shows by his ap-
pearance that he springs from an an
cestry tracing to continental and not
insular Europe.
Intimately tied up with the demand for
draft geldings and their values Is the
whole stallion business. Just so long
as prices for the heavy ones keep up
on the level on which they now rest
the demand for ton stations will re-
main active. Reports from practically
all Of the representative stables are to
the effect that the sweep has been al
most clean-only a very few stations
left over.
Taken up one side and down the
other, the draft horse industry could
not well be In much more fourishing
condition. Farmers are recognizing
that 1t pays to work heavier horses and
heavier machinery. Help, or at least
the sort Of help it pays to hire nova
days, does not promise to get much
more plentiful, and the solution of the
farm labor problem lies In the utiliza-
ten Of heavier machinery and larger
draft horses. There is just as much
need for the real drafter on the soil of
the corn belt as there is In the city. and
maybe little more. The farmer needs
the weight In the collar even more
badly than, or at least quite as badly
as. the city team user, and this need
will press more forcibly upon him I'm
time to come. With this sort of mar
ket before him and with the added
knowledge that for his best specimens
