A SOCIAL AFFAIR
AT PYTHIAN HALL

On last Monday night the local
lodge of knights of pythias had
a very interesting and well at
tended meeting. It had been
previously announced that there
would be refreshments served
and cigars passed around and
this induced quite number of
stayat-homes to turn out.
The real intention of the gath
ering was to present our grand
Chancellor Commander, p. F.
Chappell with a small token Of
the esteem in which his subordi-
nate lodge held him. and to show
the appreciation of the lodge on
account of his having been pro-
noted to the exalted office of
Grand Chancellor Commander of
the Domain.
The presentation speech was
made by Keeper of Record and
Seal, R. P. Handy, in. a
very appropriate talk, recalling
the many virtues of Bro. Chap
pell as a man snd a Pythian.
Brother Chappell accepted the
gift, which was a beautiful
charm emhlematic of the order,
in a few we'll chosen words,
which clearly showed that it was
complete surprise as well as
highly appreciated.
The lodge then adjourned,
and partook of the splendid
lunch that was prepared for
them which consisted of coffee,
sandwiches. ice cream and cake.
A most delightful hour was
spent.

Land is Going Fast.

We wonder how many Of u boys
realize that larl is going fast-boys
brought up to think that in America
land can never be scarce, that when
they have played out at everything
else they san go somewhere, get a
piece of land for nothing and the next
day be a prosperous farmer, can with
difficulty De made to see it.
In 1865 there was but little over 81
600, 900 acres in cultivation in the Unit
ed States. Today the cultivated acres
number 236, 900, 900, and these acres are
rot only our best, but they are fast
going up in value beyond the reach of
men of small means. Keen-scented
corporations snuffing the inevitable
battle from afar are turning their at
tention to land, and greedilv buying
whole counties with no idea of letting
an acre go, but the boy who thinks he
is made for something higher looks
calmly on, thinking there will be plenty
left for him should he ever have to
stoo3 to it.. The SON. of half-starved
teachers, lawyers, traders and others,
who are unsuccessful in their over
crowded calling, are turning to our
cheaper lands, sure to find there what
they nor their parents have known
never befo-e-truly independent homes.

Your ChiIdren's Eyesieht.

| Thousands Of children have their eye
sight either ruined or seriously impair
ed by improperly lighted s~choolrooms.
During these early years of their lives,
the eyes Of children are especially sem
sitive and if they pore over books for
several hours each day under improper
light conditions, it is almost inevitable
that the services of the oculist and the
optician will, be required. Many a
schoOlroom seems to be we'll lighted,
yet there may be a few desks in them
which are far from the windows, a
which the pupils have either insufficient
or refracted light. Sometimes light
will come from two different directions
and cause a glare or mixed shadows.
The light should always fall over the
shoulder and preferably the left one,
so that the hand in writing will not
show a shadow on the paper. Never
allow your children to sit ana read or
write facing the light.
The evils of improperly lighted school
rooms do not confine themselves to the
eyes. There are other consequences
beside defective sight and visual weak
ness. Headaches, tired and exhausted
nerves, irritability of temper. all fol-
low as a natural result of over-strained
eyes. Visit your children's schoolrooms
and see that their desks are properly
placed. And in the evening when they
gather round the library table, have
them sit with their backs to it. There
is an old quatrain which some of u
readers may recall and which gives ex-
cellent advice on this subject.
When reading or writing or sewing,
it's right
To sit if you can with your back to
the light,
For then, it is patent to every be-
holder,
The light will fall gracefully over the
shoulder"

A Water Bicycle.

In German sporting circles Consul
Thomas H. Norton, of Chenitz, says
interest is excited over the possibili-
ties of a newly devised form of locomo-
ton for use Oh water, termed the 'hy-
drocycle.'
1t is of exceedingly simple construc-
ton. A couple of parallel, pointed,
water-tight tubes of galvanized iron
10 1-2 feet in length, are attached to
each other 2 1-2 feet apart. A light
framework supports a seat. Beneath
this is a pair of pedals, the motion of
which is communicated to propeller
blades. A handle bar in front of the
seat is connected with a rudder. The
traveller using this novel craft. by a
pedal action Identical with that of the
ordinary bicycle, moves easily over the
surface of the water, and alters his
direction promptly at will. He has the
advantage owe the rover in facing
forward, as does a canoe paddler.
The total weight of a one-seated hy-
drocycle is sc pounds. The inventor,
an Austrian Herr FIR. Kaspar), attains
a speed of six to seven miles per hour.
The new craft offers an agreeable vari-
alton from ordinary rowing, for use on
inland waters and along the seashore.
More elaborate construction, provision
for more than one passenger, and other
Improvements on the fundamental idea,
may enable it to become a popular fea-
ture in marine sports, while there are
certain practical elements in the combi-
nation of simplicity and ~cheapness in
construction which are worthy of care

Congress and the Nations
Politics.

The last session of the Sixtieth COR
gress authorized the expenditure of
81 .O45, OOO, 900 and that became the
record of public extravaganza. The
first regular session of the Sixty-frst
congress met with a resolve on the part
of some of the members to reduce ex-
pendltures, and what was the result?
1t authorized expenditures that aggre-
gate $l,070, 600, 900, thus exceeding in
extravaganza the last congress and
making a record for waste never be-
fore equalied in this country or perhaps
any other. We add here a list of the
bills of the session and what they carry:

The One Who Follows.

One day an old umbrella mendel
brought his skeleton frames and tinker
ing tools into the alley at the back OF
nv office. AS he sat on a box in the
sun mending the broken and torn UNI
brellas, l noticed that he seemed to
take unusual pains, testing the cloth,
carefully masuring and strongly sewing
the covers. Being always interested in
any one who does a piece of work well,
| went out to talk with him a few
minutes.
"You seem extra careful" l re-
marked.
"Yes," he said, working without
looking mp; Il try to do good work"
"Your customers would not know the
difference until you were gone" l sug-
gested.
"NO, | suppose not.
"Do you ever expect to come bac.;:"
"No."
"'Then why are you so PARTICULAR"
$50 that it will be easier for the next
fellow who comes along" he ans ;yered
simply. eff l put on shoddy cloth or
do bad work, they will find it out in a
few weeks, and the next member that
comes along will get the cold shoulder
or. the bu!ldog-see?"
Yes, l saw; and / wished that every
worker in every trade and profession
had as generous a conception Of his
duty to his calling as this itinerar.t UNI
reHa member. Golden Rule.
