RMvpUva t th OnuU ChaacwIIor. ' There has been occasions in Med ford upon which there was exper ienced much of pleasure, much of good cheer and much of loyalty to society and to man, and there prob ably will be many another such occasion ere the dial of time shall have bidden us all to surrender ourselves to the ' destiny which awaits us and which is being shaped by our own hands be it a destiny just or a destiny unjust: but the oc casion of Wednesday evening ot this week is one written so legibly upon the memory of all present that years of time will not efface. February 19. 18U6. the same being Wednesday evening of this week, was the thirty-second anui versry of the founding of Pythiaa Knights. Members of lalisman lodge, No. 31, K. of P., of this city, decided, a few weeks ago. that it would be but fitting that they com memorate the day in some manner and at the same time they decided it would be but proper that they give to one of their members. Dr. E. P. uearv. grand chancellor t the state of Oregon, a reception in consideration of the high esteem in which each and all members hold him and in honor of the office which he holds the highest which the Pythian Knights of the state can bestow. In accord with the views of the members invitations were sent out and upon the even ing above mentioned their beauti ful lodge hall was filled to its ful capacity with those invited friends, their families and lady friends, and the Knights and their families When all had been seated Chan cellor Commander A. J. McLeod sounded his gavel and the evening's program was opened with a prayer by Rev. J. A. Crutchfield. Follow ing this was instrumental music by Miss Myrtle Hart; song by Gore Bros., address by Rev. Crutchfield a few pleasant remarks by Dr. E P. Geary; solo by Mrs. W. I. Vaw ter; recitation by Miss Genevieve Reames; song by Gore Bros., recita tion by Miss May Merriman; in Btrumental music by Miss Hart presentation of an elegant gold headed cane to Grand Chancellor Geary by Chancellor Commander McLeod; response by Mr. Ueary a couple of pleasant little parrot stories by A. A. Fuller, of Wood burn, Oregon, lodge. This-com pleted the musical and literary entertainment. We would like right well to speak of the partici nants separately and extend to them a few words of the many which would be required to prop erly compliment them upon their excellent renditions, but as we go to Dress earlv Thursday it is mi possible to do so. At the close of the above enter tainment a luncheon of ice cream cake and oranges was served and after this a candy pull in which everybody took a hand full of taffy and pulled vigorously. The refreshments were prepared by Frank Wilson, the baker, and was excellent The presentation of the cane to Mr. Ueary in honor ot his devotion to the order and its principles was a sumrise to that gentleman. That it really was a surprise and that the gift was fully appreciated was not doubted bv any one who heard his few words of acceptance. A special train came over troni Jacksonville for the occasion and about twentv-nve invited friends from that place were in attendance. There were fully two hundred oeonle present at the reception and not one was there among them but that enioved the eveuings entertain merit and we venture the assertion that all think better of the order since having heard a few words bear upon its principles and the founda tion upon which it rests. UNHARMED IN FIRE. rtramaa Wears tha "Scaphaadsr" and Vacares immunity. There are some fire apparatus and appliances in which the firemen of Berlin, Germany, are undoubtedly ahead of us. Of thesse apparatus the most notable is the fire "scaphander. The word "scaphander,", which means either "hollow man" or "hollow to re ceive a man," is generally applied to the suit of impermeable ' material in which the diver arrays himself before he goes down into the. water. The fire scaphander is on the lines of the diver' scaphander, the only difference, in fact, being that it is made ot a different material. The flre scaphander is made of asbestos and rubber, and is absolute ly proof against fire. It neither takes fire nor is permeable to the heat of fire. A man in an asbestos suit or scaphander can take a leisurely walk through roar ing flames or through the thickest vol ume of smoke with comfort, or at least with complete immunity from being burned or choked. The helmet is donued apart from the rest of the suit and is hermetically fitted to the suit, the riveting being so perfect that air excluded. A plate of glass, specially prepnred to stand great heat without cracking, is imbedded in the front of the helmet and allows the wearer to see pluinly. To the fireman thus equipped air is supplied, just as it is supplied to the diver at work, through a tube, the one end of which is held at the earth's surface and the other end is in the hulmei. - Wa Way. t We all know the story of thai bright boy who answered correctly when asked how many legs a fly has, but who had been enabled to do it only by catching an Insect and counting. The Philadelphia Record gives a parallel instance: A teacher recently told her scholars to mark on, their slates the Boman numerals from one to twelve. In about three minutes one of the boys held up his hand signifying that he had accomplished the work. "Why, John ny," said the teacher, "how you must have hurried! . None of the other schol ars are half done. Now tell me how you came to finish so quickly." "I cop ied them from the clock on the wall up there," replied Jimmy, with great glee, .lust Eighty-Two New One. We print below aur list of new subscribers received since December 8, W.

Yet there are hundreds of women who perform all this labor themselves. They forego many pleasures and never have "u moment to sit down." They have an idea that to bake their own bread means economy, but there never was a biguer mistake. Housewives who buy bread of me not only save a little on each loaf, but they have moments of leisure like the lady in the above picture. Wilson, The Baker Highest of all in Leveoing Power. Water In Books. Baron Nordenskjold has shown prac tically that water can be found by bor ing into granite and other crystalline rocks to a depth of from one hundred to one hundred and seventy feet. His theory was that the variations in tem perature ought to cause shearing strains between the upper and lower layers of the rock, which would make horizontal crevices into which water from the surface would percolate, and that the water would be fresh. A well was sunk in the Islet of Arko. off the Swedish coast, in 1894, and at one hun dred and ten feet fresh water was found, supplying four thousand ' four hundred gallons a day; since then six other wells have been bored and water found at about the same depth. The object of the search - was to - provide lighthouses and pilot stations with a permanent and plentiful supply of water. A Wiscoxsiv farmer went to deliver a load of wood at a Fond du Lac school tie rang the fire alarm instead of the doorbell, and was astounded a second later to see hundreds of boys and girls file past in perfect order, each with books, cap and wrap.
