Few fraternal organizations have over adverse circumstance.') :ui thoroughly as has the order of the Kuighls of the Tented Maccabees. Tho ordor was originated in London, Ont., in 1878, and for a time enjoyed great prosperity. But there were certain defect in the plans of its organizers which might have proved fatal. Reorganization was necessary and was effected in Buffalo in 18.S0. Thiscaused a split, which has however been happily healed. Probably more credit is due Mr. N. S. Boynton, S." and G. record keeper, than to any other man for the order's present prosperity. The present great commander of Michi-gan is lion. D. P. Markoy, of West Branch. Mr. Markey is a lawyer, a native of Ing-ham ctmnty, Mich., where lie was bom ia 1857. Ho began clerking before he could see ovor the counter. When h e became o 1 d enough to take the dust out of a boy's pants he taught school, then kept books, not his own, but a firm's by which he was employed. It was ' slow work for a man born to pros- - ress, and ho swap- - pedthe desk for a II0N- p' "AliKET. law stool in the law office of Jerome C. Knowlton. When he had scattered tho dust off the books he was admitted to practice and associated himself with l)e Vera Hall to practice law and Bell real cs- - tate, and they do a great deal of both, llo has been a circuit court commissioner, a judge of probate, a state legif.lator and speaker of the house. In the order of Mac-cabees his career has been marked by just such a rapid ascent, but he .eventually dropped into the hole that fitted him when ho became tho executive official. What-ever is done for the order's advancement bears his imprint. It is altogether prob-able that he will le promoted still higher at the next session of tho great tent.

Two Stolen by Veterans of tlio 1'lglit at ' 111,, oily Clilrkttiiiniigii. Of all the reminiscences of Chickamau-- pa's iron hailstorm Jim Brotherton's ex-perience wus the hardest strain on credulity. Jim was fighting "tho best ho knowed how." Ha was in the thickest of the assault on Snodgrass Hill. As he charged across the road and over tho field toward the Dyer farm Jim caught a glimpse of tho house he was born in. But valor did not make Jim forget discretion. He took advantage of all the pino trees ho could when going into and coming out of the fight On his back was strap-ped his knapsack, and over the knapsack was rolled his blanket. The two made a hump which projected beyond the trees behind which Jim took temporary shel-ter. When Jim unloaded his knapsack nud blanket tho night after the battle he found that thirty-seve- n bullets had pene- - tratftifiq 1 etto lodge, No. IS, Jan. 1, 1i0, ana n therefore been a meinbc of tho lodge l nearly fifty-fiv- e years!

There is a movement in Illinois to abol-ish the lodge system of representation to the grand lodge, and to substitute the dis-trict system for the same. The object is to make the grand lodge more effective bj reducing the representation, which now consists of about 700 members, and also to cutdowu theexpense.which averages about $fl,000ayear. Bro.

One remarkable flower of the Sierra Nevada range is that fragile and para-doxical wonder, the snow plant, known to the botanist as tlio sarcodos sanguinea, meaning "blooded flesh." Nothing was ever more exquisitely beautiful than this rosy, snow tinted botanical oddity, which has the appearance of being a crowned hyacinth. It grows from eight to twenty inches high, each separate bract, sopal and miniature bell frosted as delicately as though done by the hand of the ice kin himself. Although the wholo trans-lucent spike is flushed with rose and cuiuiuit , ...,( (vi.ua at'o the Ueupest and most brilliant parts of tho flower, which is five parted, each open one plainly showing the little frosted stamens and pistils. Tlio Long expedition (one of its mem-bers being the original discoverer of Sarcodos) found one or two specimens of the plant bearing eight perfect flowers, me of them having a false bulb twenty r more inches in circumference, shaped like a pineapple and as brittle as spun rhiss. Hard to the touch, this psou-- bulb dried up in a fow days un-i- l it was no larger than the odd look-n-icicle like stein upon which it grew, 'loriculturiots of the Pacific slope have nado many unsuccessful attempts to ultivato tho snow plant, the bulbs bo-i-g too brittle to stand transplanting, .ml the seeds refusing to grow. It was once supposed it would not sur-iv-u below tlio line of perpetuul snow, mt this idea has lately been proved to e erroneous. Ono thing is sure, how-ve- r, it makes its early growth while overed with many feet of snow, bloom-ing as soon as tho bud is exposed. fcit Louis Republic. Secret Societies In New York. There is published in New York a jour-nal called The Lodge, Club and Associa-tion Kecord. It gives the addresses of the various lodges of the secret societies with the names and addresses of their officers, etc. There are nearly 2,0(10 Jodges of aliout lifty dilferent orders mentioned, besides three or four times as many non-secr- or-ganizations. The Masons are credited with 132 Knglish lodges, 21 German, 2 Italian, 1 Spanish, 8 French, 23 Royal Arch chapters, 9 Knights Templar, 4 temples Scottish Rite, 8 royal and select masters subordinate councils, 1 temple Mystic Hbrine, 0 chapters order of the Eastern Star; total, 205.

There are other societies represented to have small memberships which are in other parts of tho country very popular. This, by the way, oITers. an interesting question. Why should a soci-ety have a large membership in one locality and bo practically unknown iu another, even though both fields have received at-tention from the organizers? KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, The Order Is Hooniing1 In Massachusetts, Other Items. A circular issued by the grand lodge of Masspxhusett states that the returns for the last six months indicate an increase for that jurisdiction of K. of P. more than double that of any corresponding term, and the financial condition of the subordi-nate lodges shows a similar growth. Among the queries put to the grand chancellor (L. L. Tarbell) is one that was evidently a "poser." Ho was asked, "If a member whose only avocation is a gentle-man should break his arm would ho be en-titled to benefits!" Answer; "Is he able to pursue his usual avocation? Let the constitution govern you." The G.' C. should have referred the question to the supreme lodge. Is not a brokeu armed gentleman a gentleman still? The uniform rank has about 25,000 sir knights nearly as many us the standing army of the United States. Pennsylvania still remains, numerically, the banner Pythian grand jurisdiction, having over 40,000 knights and a handsome sum in its exchequer. At Scrnnton, Kan., recently the twin eons of Iiro. Thomas Noble wore christened Damon and Pythias with impressive cere-monies in the lodge room. Arkansas has fifty-fou- r lodges and thir-teen divisions. There are at present about 200,000 mem-bers in tho order. There are two sect ions of tho endowment Tank in Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. The lodges in Indianapolis have an ag-gregate membership of 2,000, and the lodges have all the work they can do. The richest lodge in Indiana is Crescent lodge, No. 83, of New Ca.st.lo, the total re-sources of which are $7,587.15. The noxt wealthiest lodge is Iudianapolis,No. 56, with assets aggregating 0,07U.0fl. The last tv,i4f ed is the banner lodgo in point of membership in Indiana, having on Dec. 81 851 knights on its roll. R. E. Iee lodge, of Vickuburg, Miss., has a membership of 204, and is worth 2,818.46. Capt. Lawrence Cole, a prominent ranch-man and a Pythian Knight of Mexico, is asking the aid of tho knights in Texas to establish lodges in Mexico. Mining Onyx. Mexican onyx is u form of stalagmite, ;nd its colors nvo formed by oxides of metals in tho earth ovor the caves through which calcareous water passes. Hold is represented by purple, silver by yellow, iron by red, copper by green, md arsenic nnd zinc by white. Volcanic TUptions and earthquakes have almost lestroyed the caves in which only onyx xists, and the native Indians who mine it have to cut through masses of ruins. Clocks of tho material are quarried in a primitive way, in order not to shatter tlio substance. Deep round holes are drilled by hand on a lino. In each holo is inserted a -- nusly fitting piece of wood, which has been grooved from end to end. Hot wa-ter is poured into the grooves at night. This swells the wood, and tho block is plit along the lino without damage. 1'ho natives then saw the blocks into dabs nnd polish the surface by hand. Each piece is. and when pliiced between the eye and a strong lifjht presents a remarkably beautiful ef-fect in form and color. Now Orleam I'icayuno. Knights or Canada.
