fRtatidticM of tin* Or«l«r—Re« Noten. (■rami Patriarch J. McIntyre, who is an ailept at figures, has examined the records and prepared the following very interesting table: On Jan. 1, lSil3, there were in the order fl,'J8Bsubordinate lodges with a membership of 747,295. The general membership averages 75 to a lodge. In 1SP2 there Were initiated RA.'iOfl, which averages Stf to eaeh lodge and 234'^ to each day of the year. Averaging the time devoted to lodge meetings at two hours, initiations would represent ttvo candidates every minute. Throughout the order last year there was paid for relief 98,015,980, which averages 98,263 peday, 8344 per hour, 85.75 per minute and nearly 10 centsevery second during the year. In tlie Rebckah Itraneh there were .fan. 1, 180,889 members, an increase in one year of 29,018; averaging three every lioitr in 1892. The relief paid by Rehekah lodges amounted to $82,675, or nearly |9 a day. There an* 21 Rehekah lodges and 600 Rebekahs in Virginia. Maine, with 20,000 members, jmid the sovereign lodge lust year for supplies less than two-thirds us much as New Hampshire with 12,900 members. Under the new law five members constitute a Quorum of Rebekuh lodges for the transaction of business. The grand lodge of Maine has wisely fixed the minimum feefor admission to the Rehekah lodge at 81. We think it would be well for all grand lodges to do the same thing. Rehekah lodges should strive to cultivate the social element in their meetings. Our order lacks in this respect. The Rehekah lodge to be Instituted at Swansea, Mass., will be called Dorothy Brown Rehekah lodge, No. 122, after the wife of one of the first settlers of the place. Give the Rehekah branch the dignity it should have, and then it will be a mnreuseful and brilliant ornament to Odd Fellow

ship.

A new Rehekah lodge has been instituted in Toronto. No part of Odd Fellowship is growing more rapidly in proportion to numbers than the Rehekah branch, and no part is more worthy of the aid ami encouragement of mem Iters of subordinate lodges. Ottawa is to have another Kebckuh

lodge.

South Dakota reports a net gain of 884 in the subordinate lodges, being a gain of in per cent; a gain of 132 in the Rebekuh branch and a rather discouraging report, from the encampments. Two Rehekah lodges were instituted during the year in South Carolina, with a membership of 4<i brothers ami 37 sisters. The gain in subordinate lodge membership for the year was 82. The twentieth annual report of the president of the Odd Fellows' home of Pennsylvania has recently been issued. It states that during the past year the health of the household has been except tonally good, considering the advanced age of the inmates. At the beginning of the year there were 59 brothers in the home, and 13 have been admitted. Of these 5 have died, and 2 have left voluntarily, while the number remaining at present is 65. The grand lodge of Iowa is composed of 1(10 representatives, who legislate for 81,000 members. The grand lodge of Ohio has 78 representatives and makes laws for 02,000 members—just twice as many. Amity Lodge, Halifax, has assets of over 84.000 and a membership of 256. Grand canton Pawtucket, Patriarchs Militant, of Springfield, Mass., has made arrangements for a hull to be held April 20. The New York board of managers lias decided upon setting apart one day in the year that shall serve to draw attention to the Odd Fellows’ home. This will be called Dedication day, and by a resolution the 30th day of May, Memorial day, has been chosen. Idaho 85,408.45 for relief to its members the past year. Australia has 20,039 Odd Fellows. Wake up, Patriarchs! Buckle on your armor and make your camps stir with life and progress. A writer out west advocates the propriety of having "a phrenologist as well asa medical examiner on the staff of each lodge - ’ and requiring "every applicant to present a chart of his head with his petition for membership." Thirteen new encampments were instituted in Indiana during the past year. The brethren of Glenwood, la., recently dedicated a 813,(K)0 building for business and lodge purposes. If a stranger is found in anteroom or lodge hall, make sure that hereceivesa cordial greeting. In Odd Fellowship the orphan recognizes the “Fatherhood of God.” The German lodges everywhere enjoy the distinction of being the brightest among the must brilliant. Schools of Instruction are being held in the most convenient points for tlie lodge to meet in the jurisdiction of Kansas. This plan should he adopted in all jurisdictions. Only one lodge in New Hampshire is incorporated. In 18*18 the grand lodge disapproved of such act ion.

A. O. U. W.

Select Knights I'r«is|,eriug In the Various .1 ti risdict ions— Notes. Supreme Commander W. H. Adams of the Select Knights, A. O. U. W., reports that the affairs of the order are in a prosperous condition. From the jurisdiction of Missouri especially flattering reports ) have been made to headquarters. From j the jurisdiction of Kentucky it is reported f that active work is being done with the . view of having a separate grand jurisdk tiou next year. At Cincinnati a new legion ; | has been chartered. In the Minnesota ju j j risdictiou there is a very active growth, and applications from 30 to 40 legions are out. The grand master of the Ancient Order United Workmen of New Jersey offers 850 to all lodges which admit 20 members before March 1 next. A new lodge of the A. O. U. W. is soon to be instituted in south .St. Louis. This { will make 80 lodges of the order in the city i and the largest number id lodges of one order in any city in the United States. Beacon lodge, Boston, made a net gain of 142 during the year. The principles of “Fraternity, Aid and Protection'’ are as eternal as immortality itself. In fact, they are the links in the great chain which hinds the soul of man to 1 the throne of God. That the teachings of the Ancient Order ; of United Workmen are such as to inspire ' in the breast of men the hhpe and courage ! necessary to meet the ups and downs of life there can be no doubt.

KNIGHTS OF THE MACCABEES. The Order to lie Awakened In Indiana. Notes by the Way. A strong effort is now being made to build up the order in the state of Indiana, and with Sir Knight George H. Terpany, supreme chaplain, giving his undivided time and attention to the work, it is ex(>ecU*d to see the tents now established wake up. The supreme tent having authorized the formation of a supreme division of the uniform rank, K. O. T. M., provisional officers have been named—with power to make laws, rules ami regulations for its proper government—as follows: Brigadier general, N. c. White, Port Huron, Mich.; adjutant general, A. K. Stanley, Detroit; judge advocate general, W. E. Small, Owosso. Mich.; quartermaster general. Ernest Saudetln iff. Saginaw, Mich.; commissary general. Mr. Chandler, Sandusky, O. The supreme tent, with its subordinate branches, great camps, subordinate tents, great hives and subordinate hives, is numerically the third largest beuetlcial order in the country. The increase for the first six monthsof this year was30,164 members. The total membership of Lady Maccabees Aug. 1 was 21,921. Ontario has 133 tents and 4,500 members.

Meeting of the Constitutional Commission. Helmet Glints. Tiie constitutional commission, created at the last session of the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias at Kansas City in 1892 for the purpose of preparing an entirely new constitution and code of statutes for the order, convened at the Astor House, New York, recently. This is the fourth meeting, ami three more will probably be held before the commission’s labors are completed. Tlie commission is composed as follows: George B. Shaw, past supreme chancellor, president, Fan Claire, Wis.; William I). Kennedy, secretary, Chicago: George E. Seay, Gallatin, Term.; W. A. Radcliffe, Sedalia, Mo.; John H. Alexander, Leesburg,Vb.; M. L. Stevens, Portland, Me. The death lienefits the endowment rank has paid out since its formation amount to something over 88,000,000, St . Louis has 27 lodges of tlie order, with 8,605 members. Nebraska lodge, No. 1, Omaha, is a very energetic and progressive lodge, with a membership of very nearly 900, composed of representative business men. The Pythian press is almost unanimous in demanding that the supreme lodge make a new price list of supplies, and a reduced rate at that, there being no necessity fora large surplus in the supreme lodge treasoiy.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR. History of the Order In Louisiana—Vari- ! oum InteretitiiiK Note*. The order was first introduced in Louisi ana by the institution of Alpha lodge. No. 2501, in Shreveport. .1 oly 8, issi, and in the city of New Orleans by the organization of j Pelican lodge. No. 2511, July 25 of the same | year. In the past 12>^ years the grand jurisdiction of Louisiana has recorded 595 deaths, calling for the payment of $1,155,500, while the contributions of Louisiana to ! the widows and orphans’ benevolent fund | of the order were only 9970,776.49. There are three assessments for February. One hundred and six lodges in Massachu- j setts report a gain in membership for De- ; cem ber. There are 175 names in the February death list, all but 11 of which were full rate members. It will require 81139,000 to adjust these

claims.

There were 572 applications received at the office of the supreme reporter for the : four weeks ending Jan. 13. The work in Massachusetts is being carried on by Grand Dictator Churchill in a manner that guarantees a net increase for the year. From all sections comes the good news i that hslges are receiving applications at every meeting, and it does seem as if the ! order in that state would end the year with a rush that will place the membership way above high water mark. Bro. F. L. Brick, financial reporter of Badger State lodge, Milwaukee, has issued a circular giving the annual cost for the past 17 years for alt charter members of that lodge under 45 years of age. The average annual cost per thousand, including dues and initiation, is shown to have been $12.92. Each charter memlier of tlie lodge under 45 years of age has contributed to the W. and O. B. fund $359. The grand dictator of New York jurisdiction says, “if the proper means are em ployed and a strong effort made, 5,000 mem bers can be added by May 1, 1894.” Under the new law every applicant receiving the degree during the month of November will be required to pay at the time the degree is conferred only one assessment. Such mem tiers initiated prior to June 1 will he required to pay two as sessments. North Carolina has been divided into two districts. Bro. B. F. McLean has la*en appointed organizer for the eastern district, and Bro. J. J. Hill for the western. Boston Lodge, No. 134, of Boston, voted to drape its charter for 80 days out of respect for the memory of tlie late past supreme dictator, J. A. Demarce. Bro. G. C. Chandler of Chattanooga urges organized effort to build up and bring the merits of tlie order tiefore the people. He believes every grand lodge should have one or more organizers at work. The prompt payment of death lienefits by the supreme lodge is justly eliciting favorable comment from both the mem tiers of •he order and the public. Klilglits of 81. Jiillll amt Malta. The office of the grand prior of the state of Pennsylvania is a busy place. District deputy grand prior of the third district of Brooklyn has obtained a foothold for the order in Massachusetts, three encampments lieing ready for institution. The order comprises over 130 subordinate commanderies, scattered through 12 states and Canada. It is strongest in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, there being about 16,000 members in all. Mu'lcru Woodmen of America. There are about 90,000 members of the

order.

Over 8100,000 is paid monthly for the tienefit of widows and orphans. Omaha camp, No. 120, stands at the head of the 2,000 camps in the order. The order is confined to the states of Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota. Wisconsin and Michigan. Itoyal V nun u 111. The current cash balance in the W. O. H. fund Nov. 30 was $419,162.11. The amount due from assessments to Dec. 30 is 9251,300, making resources 9670,462.11. The liabilities to Dec. 30, partially estimated, amount to 8354,000, leaving an estimated excess of assets Dec. 30, 1893, of $316,462.11. Brooklyn has an encampment of the Knights of St.John and Malta composed almost entirely of Royal Arcanumites. j Many of the prominent grand and past grand officers of the R. A. of this state are ! on its roll. Its name is Valiant, and itde- | serves it. Ancient Order Koreitcr* of America. New York state has 274 courts, with a membership of 82,000. The order htis gained 34,138 members during the past two years. There are 112,000 members, 18 grand courts and 1,024 subordinate courts. Hudson county, N. J., has an A. O. F. of A. association numbering nearly 4,000 members. Rhode Island has one German court— Court Hermann of Providence. The A. O. F. and A. endowment fund is one of the earliest of its kind in this country. It was inaugurated 17 years ago, its institution an receding most of the successful organizations specially devoted to fraternal insurance.

Pri>|MH»eU AsHeiiitillug of Warrior, at Atlantic City—Council Notea. A movement is on foot in certain Penn sylvania and New Jersey tribes to have a Red Men's day next summer at Atlantic City. Appearances already indicate an immense success. ('tie of the greatest errors committed by tlie great chiefs of the U nited States was in not having a Red Men’s day at the World's fair. Many other orders had their celebrations, with speeches, etc., and no doubt have profited thereby. California Red Men are arranging to celebrate Tammany day at tlie Midwinter lair. Let freedom beour warcry, friendshipour creed and charity our armor, and let no reputable paleface escape. The order now numbers 150,000 members. Great Sachem ( 'aider has been very busy during the present moon visiting tlie various triiiesand councils in Massachusetts. Talk of our order to your friends, sing its praises, wax eloquent on its lieauties and have a supply of application blanks in your pocket for emergencies. Why should not our tribes and councils quietly inquire who among the fraternity are hard pushed just now and see if some way may not be found tomake their trou hies less? Can there lie any truer fraternity than that which seeks tlie need and relieves it? It is noble to lift the burden when attention is called to it by him who sinks be-

neath the load.

The Red Men of California will erect a monument to the late Past Great Incobonee Adam Smith, who introduced the order on the Pacific coast. Nipntuk tribe of North Cambridge, Mass., will hold its great sun's peace dance Feb. 21. The exact membership of the order in New York state last June was 15,025, according to the records. The Brooklyn association, like its New York counterpart, has a team to perform adoptions. Past Grand Sachem Dobbs is prophet and general supervisor. Knight, of the Golden Eagle. The semiannual reports being received show a splendid increase of membership

and finances.

The Knights of the Golden Eagle are strong in Pennsylvania. Their membership is over 41,000. The increase in the last six mouths was about 500. The officers of the Massachusetts regi ment have decided to have an inspection, review and dress parade complimentary to the Ladies of the Golden Eagle of the state. The order is located in 50 counties in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia having 83 cas ties, with 9,00li members; Clearfield, 24 castles, with 1,758 members; Alleghany, 23 castles, with 1,597 members; Lancaster, 19 castles, with 1,094 members; Berks, 19 castles, with 2,241 members.

Youthful Unguiftt. English, Ind., April 24.—John Donnelly, 9 years old, of St. Croix, who has not yet passed through the third reader at school, can speak several languages as perfectly as any linguist. His parents are Irish, but his unffher tongue is English. He picked up the Irish language in talking with neighbors; French he learned from some of his school-fel-lows, and (Tcrinan was acquired while visiting among German friends at St. Meinrad’s.

ALL ABOUT CEDAR TREES. Thor** Are Only Three Kindi* In the World, So Far »h In Known. There are the cedar of Lebanon, the Deodar cedar and the Mount Atlas cedar. These, says the editor of Gardening, are the only kinds known, and although generally rated as distinct species their botanical relationship is so close that Sir Joseph Hooker considers them only three varieties of one species. All three are in cultivation here. The Mount At las cedar is the hardiest, the cedaff of Lebanon next and the Deodar the most tender. Indeed the last named is barely hardy north of Philadelphia. Of all three there are both glaucous blue and plain green leaved forms, wild in their mountain homes, as well as cultivated in gardens. What we call red cellar in the east is only a juniper (J. Virginiana), the red

the blue mountain atlas cedar. cedar of the Pacific is Thuya gigantea, the white cedar is the common arborvitte, the Lawson cypress is also called white cedar, and there are some others, but none of them is a true cedar (Cedrus). You can buy a Norway spruce for 25 or 50 cents, but the blue Mount Atlas cedar will cost you six times as much. Now, which would you rather have? A specimen of this blue cedar on your lawn would he something to be proud of, something everybody hasn't got. It would be an object of decided beauty and a permanent pleasure, and it would fix the attention of everybody on the street. Growing such beautiful trees as these is not only satisfaction to yourselves, but practical missionary work in your town and an object lesson to your neighbors. Why 8t«ne llrap* Kill Tree*. The commonly observed fact that a pile of stones around a tree is sure death to it is thus explained by American Cultivator: There are a variety of causes. Stone heaps make a harbor for mice, which burrow in the loose soil under the heap and hark the trees under shelter of the stones. Apple and jiear trees are of- ! ten destroyed thus—in fact, nearly all kinds of trees when surrounded by stone heaps are sure to he more or less denud- | ed of their hark. But a pile of stones around an oak or a butternut is usually ; fatal to it if kept two or three years, j though the bark of these trees is never eaten by mice. The reason in this case is that the stones make a mulch around i the trees, encouraging the growth of roots in warm weather close to the sur- j face of the ground, but in winter the stone heap is no protection against deep: j freezing, and the destruction of the ten- ! tier, succulent roots of the tree near the surface seriously injures it. The repeti- j tion of this process three or four years in succession usually finishes the tree. Wlu'ii to I'liint Hasplierrle*. American Cultivator says: Blackcap raspberries should be planted in the i spring, as then the plants grow best. | They should not lie planted deep, or they ; die. The red raspberries and blackber- j ries may be planted in spiring or autumn as is most convenient. AH weeds should be kept down among the young plants. | All suckers springing up, unless desired for planting, should be treated as weeds. I Plantations of raspberries should be renewed every six or seven years, the old ! plants seeming to lose vigor by that time. The black raspberries root at the tip and form new plants, while the red ones form numerous suckers, which spread the pilant. A Fiiint In V ini- I'runiiiK. Cultivators have frequently noticed , that the severe pruning of a grapevine to keepi it dwarf has a tendency to lessen its vital piower, but yet, notwithstanding this weakening of vital power, it is absolutely essential at times that fruits should be severely pruned in order to keep them within certain bounds or for other good economic reasons. Where, however, asserts Meehan’s Monthly, a vine can la* allowed to extend, as it naturally desires I to do, the result in longevity and productiveness is very remarkable.

Ffcirul Note*.

Martha Washington is a wonderfully beautiful and fioriferous rose, but it is only quite hardy in the south. In the ' northern states it will seldom survive the winters in the opa*n ground unless

well protected.

Petunias make very handsome lieds, : the single varieties being best adapted for this purpiose. The Bruant type of geraniums give satisfaction for bedding where hot, dry summers pirevail. In the way of vines grow Lohb’s nasturtium, Maurandia harclayana and Thuubergia uhrfa. Summer flowering oxalis, although they don't make much of a show, are free and long blooming and quite pretty. The dwarf nasturtiums are useful for bedding, massing or ribboning. Harlequin is a new and attractive vaI rietv of sweet william.
