The lodge voted to enter its degree team

of the Rebekah degree.
Federal City Lodge. No. 20, at the

conferred the first degree In full form on

in large part of candidates from Oriole

The event brought out large attendance
from HyattsVille Lodge, as we'll as from

men and train the midshipmen as it does
to build the ships.
Total of $4,000 Men.

"The ratio as above would eventually
give 6O,Go0 men and 5000 line officers
and midshipmen. These figures cannot
be reached for some time. The bill does
not authorize these numbers, but sets
them as the upper limit.
1.-The marines are intendedto serve on
board ships and cooperate with the navy.
The enlisted force of the Marine Corps
is fixed at 90 per cent Of the actual
miSsioned line officers of the Marine
Corps are fixed at 20 per cent of the
commissioned line officers of the navy.
The Staff Corps.
Taking up the staff corps in success
sion,. the Medical Corps is fixed at IA
per cent of the actual line of the navy,
including midshipmen. That would give
about 1856 next July. but as the present
number is 30 such number is retained.
THE pay corps is fixed at 10 per cent
of the line of the navy, including mid
lshipmen, or about 2iO next July. The
present strength is 200, and there is a
proviso that the increase shall not eX-
coed 20 in any year, hence the number
for the first year would be 30.
1.-The chaplains are fixed at . per cent
of the line, which would make As, but
the increase cannot exceed annually
and the present number is "A.
THE professors of mathematics remain
the same.
THE naval constructors are fixed at one
for every 5000 tons of the ships of the
navy, (Which would give 80 next July.
The present number is 20.
1.-The civil engineers are fixed at total
of 80. Their present number is 40, which
has been the same for seven vars.
1.-The line officers of the Marine Corps
would be increased from 900 to 325, APP
proXmately.
THE chief object of the measure is to
provide fleet commanders who will have
time enough to serve on the active list
to become proficient in their duties, to
prevent the formation of So-called
humps in the line of promotion, to pro-
vide sufficient officers and men to man
the peace fleet, and, number for number.
to avoid increasing the cost of the navy
beyond the present figures"

Plague of Locusts in Tabasco.

From the Mexican Herald.
Several days ago the governor of the
state of Tabasco communicated to the
department OF fomento the fact that that
state was suffering from a locust plague.
which had originated in the district OF
the Tabasco- Campeche boundary and
was spreading over the entire neighbor-
hood.
Reports OF the corn harvest in the
state of Yucatan received by the depart
ment indicate that the locust has not in
iured the crops there to any great extent
this year. yet for several years past the
losses from this plague have been quite
severe.
The department. Immediately upon re-
ceipt of the information. sent large
consignment of anti-locust mushrooms.
which when grown in community are
said TO lessen the ravages OF the insects.
II is<said that this method of eradication
has been of little service in the states

Old English Bookkeeping.
m the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle
Not so many years ago our national
system of bookkeeping was :. almost as
clumsy as the primitive method of count
ing non fingers. This was the exchequer
way of keeping accounts by means of
notched sticks of elm wood called tallies.
plan that strongly resembled Robinson
Crusoe's mode of keeping his calendar on
the desert island. In the reign of George
III an inquiry was made by some revo-
lutionary spirit to whether pen. ink
and paper could not be substituted. but the
whole civil service rose against the innO-
vation 1t took many years to get the
sticks abolished. And when they were
privately and confidentially burned in a
stove at the house of lords in 1884 the
RAMBLING of the room caught fire and
both houses we're reduced-with the tally
sticks-to ashes. Such is the dreadful
thing that happens when the upper
chamber touches finance!
