origin Of Frecmaaonry Unknown.

origin of Frecmasonry Unknown.
The society OF Free alasons ante
oates all other societies by centuries.
It's origin is SO ancient that the place
and time of it's birth are unknown.
Its legend say that it was organized
at the building of the temple OF Solo
mon, but this is not accepted with
much credence. By some writer's its
origin has been ascribed to the
Druids, by others to the Knights
Templar and to Pythagoras, and it
has not escaped the fad which in mod
ern> times has attributed so many
of the uncertain productions to the
nimble brain of Sir Francis Bacon.
Within recent years traces Of the
organization are said to have been
discovered in Palestine or the Egyp-
tan obelisks and in the pyramids.
In fact, it has been asserted that in
vestigatOrs have become satisfied
that the society grew directly from
an organization engaged in the con-
struction of the pyramids.

Rings and Scales of Fishes.

Several Theories have been advanced
to explain the rings that close exami-
nation shows on the scales of fishes.
The favorite theory is that they de-
note the age of the fish-a ring to q
year, like the rings that show the age
OF a tree Icthyologists in cany Eu-
ropean countries ha made a careful
study of the matter and have deemed
IL OF enough Importance to make 1t
the subject of report published as
British bluebook. They hold that the
scales do tell with near approach to
accuracy the age of salmon and her
ring; as to other fish they are in doubt.
The Norwegians maintain that the
rings bear relation merely to the
length OF the fish.-Youths Ccmpan-
ion.

With the Soldiers

There remain in army hospitals
throughout the country more than &c.
600 soldiers still being treated for
wounds received overseas. Red Cross
workers give them the same sort of
friendly aid-only more of it-that was
given during the war. Furthermore,
the Red Cross is teaching these lads
occupations at which they can later
make a living and is keeping in touch
with their home folks in order that no
dependents may suffer for lack of
funds.

Strange Pola ga Vegetation.

Among the most remarkable of the
cold water plants are the laminaria-
ceoe, kind of seaweed, which some.
times, attains a gigantic size exceed
ing in length the longest climbing
plants of the tropical forests. and de-
veloping huge stems like the trunks,
of trees. Investigation has shown
that these plants flourish in the cold
est waters of the polar seas, and that
they never advance further from their
frigid home than to the limits of
summer temperature" in the ocean.
The genial warmth destroys them.

Every person mentally and physlcas
~ able to do so should take the Ameri-
can Red Cross instruction in First Aid
Treatment. It's a life-saver and
pain-saver on the farm, in the factory,
on the street, at the office, in the
home, wherever accidents may occur.
Here's young wife who inexpertly
welded can-opener and received an
ugly cash across her wrist from. the
Jagged can lid. Mother was there,
however, with the First Aid kit and
Red Cross instruction, and probably
prevented case of blood poison by
giving prompt and proper treatment
before the doctor arrived.

Saturday, declares that the blockade
on exports of apples during the war
was really beneficial to Northwestern

advertise itself as did boxed apples
last season. The quality and stanard-

The domestic distribut on, which would
never have been so extended but for
the embargo, was wonderful"
