Automatic Club Fees.

These wear-your.old-clothe clubs
that have become popular in England
and that are gaining n foothold in this
country have advantages that may
make great international orders Of
them. Membership, instead Of calling
for an assessment means only having
and wearing an old suit; and old
clothes are always more comfortable
than new ones. Moreover, rank must
necessarily depend on the condition of
the clothes, and that as time goes on
will become-shall we say ranker?-
so that merely maintaining member
ship will automatically promote the
member, without fees, to the higher
levels Of the order parade Of those
who have attained the thlrty-third de-
gree should be worth seelng.-Youth's

FLOOD OF 1862
GREATEST EVER
Rise in River al Brattleboro Has Been
Higher Since Then Due Wholly
to Local Conditions.

Editor of The Reformer:-
While OH the subject of floods and

at the time, might be of interest to some
OF the Reformers readers. This is the
record
The greatest flood that was ever known
IN the Connecticut river occurred III the
latter part OF April. A large quantity OF
snow had fallen that winter (winter OF
'6l-'62), which was said to be five feet on
level in the northern part of Vermont

did not break up, but gradually wore

1t had been thawing. On the 18th it be
gan to rise; it gradually kept on RISING
until it overlooked its banks. On the
