An explanation of the orders of the Knights of Malta and the Knights of the Mediterranean Pass Is given as follows: Thi Knights of Malta was one of the znost religious and military orders that sprang into existence during- the Crusades, which were instituted for the recovery or the Holy Land. The society, established when Jerusalem was In the hands of the Mohammedans, passed through many vicis situdes, but lived to see the Holy City con quered by the Christian Knights. - It then received many additions to its ranks, who, laying aside their arms, devoted their time to the care of the sick. Later, the order assumed a military character which It after maintained. It had been much attenuateo by losses In the field, and being no longer Able to continue their military exploits on land, the knights betook themselves to tnelv galleys, and while they protected the pil grims who still flocked to Palestine, gave security to the Christian commerce of the Mediterranean. On sea as on land they met success and in time their harbor of Cyprus was filled with their prises. It was at this time that the grand mas ter of the hospitalers having obtained the consent and approval of Pope Clement ana the assistance of several of the European states made a descent upon the Island of Rhodes occupied by the Turks and after months of hard flghtlnr planted their stand ard on the walls of the City of Rhodes, and the island thenceforth became the home or the hospitalers, whence they were called the Knights of Rhodes. In 1490 Rhodes was successfully besieged by the Turks, and after many contests the city and island were sur rendered. The terms of surrender were lib era! to the knights, and they were allowed to depart with all personal property. Seven years later the Emperor Charles V. of Ger many vested In the order the complete and perpetual sovereignty of the islands of Malta and Gozo, and for upwards of two centuries after they waved the, -banner of St. John. an honor to Christianity and a terror the Infidels of the East. From this time the order received the title of "Knights of Malta." which ts still perpetuated end given as an aaaenae to tne unnstien oraers Templarlsm. Origin Date to 1367. The Knight of the Mediterranean Pass conferred in a council is declared impres sive and supplies the tradition that It was founded about the year 1367 In conseouence of certain events which occurred to the Knlphts of Malta.

Buttle, of Seattle, who is the president of the National Dahlia bociety of America, is one or the best known lovers of dahlias in the United States, and has made preparations to have 1000 blooms sent from his north ern home to Portland. Exhibit to Have 330 Varieties. A total of 320 varieties will be ex hiblted by Mr. Buttle, many of them never before having been placed on ex hibition. He has some that measure more than nine Inches across. So great is her desire to be en tered in the second annual dahlia show, Mrs. C. H. Stout, of Short Hills, N. J., has written to President Buttle saying she is going to ship several varieties from her Eastern home to Portland, all of them packed in ice. This is almost a 3000-mile journey, and the officials are awaiting the package to see what the result of a long journey will be on the blossoms.

In so doing It will save time and will cover the field In a satisfactory man ner.
