Th e Kebekah degree, which has grow n to be such a popular adjunct o f Odd F ello w ship, was introduced by the late lamented Schuyler C olfax, form er vice president, in 1862, and in the official report o f the order fo r the year ending Dec. 81, 1881. the m em bership was as follow s: Sisters, 81,736; broth ers, 78,280. Th e gain du h n g the same years was: Sisters, 12,021; brothers, 10,091, being a total gain o f 22,112, and a total membership o f 155,015. F ollow in g the same ratio of gain, the mem bership today is probably over 180,000. A n n Heaton o f W ashington, w ife o f P. G. Charles M. Heaton, Sr., is one o f the tw o su rviving persons who were the first to re ceive the degree o f Kebekah, which was personally conferred by its illustrious au thor, Hon. Schuyler C olfax, either from the original manuscript or advance sheets before the regular rituals had been sent out. In the jurisdiction o f the District o f C o lum bia there are 18 subordinate lodges and 1 grand lodge, 3 Kebekah degree lodges, 4 encampments, 1 grand encampment, 8 can tons o f the Patriarchs M ilitant— in a ll 80. Th e proposition to establish an Odd F el low s’ home in the District o f Colum bia ju risdiction was deemed inexpedient by the grand lodge at its recent session. Th e per capita tax in Illin ois is 75 cents. In Maine officers are elected fo r a term o f one year. Th e grand lodge o f V erm ont was Insti tuted in 1847. W illia m N oble o f South M cAlester has been appointed D. D. grand master fo r the I jurisdiction o f Indian Territory. Odd Fellow ship is a powerful factor in the efforts now being made in every quarter to elevate the character o f man. N ew Hampshire expends for relief annu a lly about $40,000. U tah has about 20 lodges, yet its amount fo r relief aggregates nearly $7,000 yearly. Troy, N. Y ., has a Pat riarch M ilita n t club composed o f ladies. P uttin g the remaining portions o f the separator through the same process takes scarcely any more time than I've taken to w r it e this. I can at any tim e wash and p ot m y separator in complete order in 10 m inntes, and that. too. with out any undue haste. By the use o f the string it obviates the nscSedity o f han dling each disk or p la te separately and prevents the possibility of getting the numbers mixed. Since it is im perative that the plates should go into the bowl oouaedutively according to tl^r number- lag. this plan o f stringing precludes the misplacing o f th e »rimtiers.— Mrs. Kata M.

PO« C A T A L O C U t. • The efforts o t dairy mso to make their cows snr]MisA anything that has yet been done in the way of producing m ilk or batter needs to be made with a great deal o f care. H eavy feeding, which is one o f the absolute essentials to »access in record breaking, mast be directed w ith no small degree o f skill or else it w ill rem it In a d im inished instead o f an increased pow er o f production, and it may. as it has' done in not a few In stances, lead to the lorn o f the animal it self. I f absolute safety is to be consid ered. tt w ill be wise to remember that extremes are usual i y dangerous and that the feeding o f animals is no exception to the general rale. Bat it is possible to learn very much about the merits o f a cow as s butter producer without incur ring any special risk. If the feed Is increased gradually, as it Invariably ought to be. and Its effect is carefully noted, the owner o f a cow w ill have little difficulty in deciding when the safe lim it has been approached. Long before that point is reached he w ill tie able to determine whether the increased quantity o f food supplied is profitably utilized, for. contrary to what seems to be tbe b elie f o f some advocates o f high feeding. there ere cows which, through some h o l t o f digestion or Assimilation or beeaoss they have a much stronger tend socy to produce flesh than they have U yield milk, do not pay for extra quae ti tles o f grain. It therefor* follows that when e teat o f the productive powers is mads the health o f ths animal# and tbs financial interests o f their owners w ill be bast protected by a gradual increase la ths quantity of grain supplied and the careful watching o f the effect# which tt gradueee.— American Dairyman.

Perhaps ex-Gov ernor Gray and ex-CongreKanianCollinsare the beat known o f thus trio, but tUe great est interest at this tim e attaches to the per •onality o f Robert A . M axw ell, the new fourth aaaiatant postmaster general, who w ill henceforth be known as “ the head« m an.” Mr. M axw ell was born in Washington county, N. Y ., in 1840, and was the son of a farmer. H e was educated at the state nor m al school in A lb a n y and taught school fo r a* year in Greenwich, N. Y. He then tried farm ing in Wisconsin, and after- The Rev. Madison C. Peters of Bloom- ingdale church, N ew York city, as a pre lude to a sermon delivered on a recent Sunday morning, said: The facts to which I now give pub licity Were obtained by the W orkin g W om en’s society through personal inter views, confirmed by several persons be fore being accepted. The information was obtained with difficulty and at the peril o f the position o f those interested. The society has found the hours ex- oessive, and employees are not paid for overtime. For weeks before the holi days they are compelled to arrange and mark goods, sometimes until 12 o’clock, for which they receive no remuneration, and we have scores o f instances o f girls who have been fined a fu ll week’s pay, and who have gone home penniless on Saturday night. Shopkeepers do not engage women and children for a certain number o f hours a day, but for such time as the firm requires them. Thus a child on a salary o t $2 a week may be obliged to work for 16 hours a day at certain sea sons of the year and is forced to go long distances through questionable localities late at night. The society has found that these women and children work not only under unwholesome sanitary conditions, but an indifference to the considerations o f decency. The society has found numbers o f children under age employed for excess ive hoars and at work far beyond their strength. They must continually run up and down four or five long flights o f stairs, bringing down stock or climbing to the top o f shelves to hand down fresh stock to the salesmen. T o do this they place one foot on the shelving and the other on the counter, a yard behind them, and in this perilous position pass down boxes often weighing 20 pounds. The lo w wages are often reduced by excessive fines. The salaries o f saleswo men range from $2 to $18 a week, but the latter sum is only paid in rare in stances in cloak and suit departments. The salary in the best houses rarely ex ceeds $7, and averages $4 or $4.50 per week. Cashgirls receive from $1 to $2.50 a week, though the society has been able to find but one store where $2.50 is paid. A t one place saleswomen earning over $7 a weelc are fined 80 cent» if one min ute late. Cashgirls who earn $1.75 a week are fined 10 cent» fo r 10 minute»' tardineeg. In some stores the fines are divided at the end o f the year between the superintendent and the timekeeper. The underling» seem to be the worst op pressors. A ll mistakes are charged to the saleswomen or cashgirls. A case came to the notice o f the so ciety o f a little girl in the fur depart ment o f a certain honse whose wages were $2 a week. A man in the same de partment who sells $125 worth in a day receive» $15 a week. T h i» child sold In one day $187 worth of goods, yet for some mistake »he had made sho was fined 60 cent» out o f her $2 a week. In »om e stores i f the sale» do not reach the required amount for n certain num ber of days they are ilieuiiReed. I have the statement from nn employee that “ i f a customer calls for anything not in stock, and wo try to sell her something else and fail, tho proprietor reprimands ns.” In one b ig establishment the cashgirls receive $1.75 a week, but they are fined so mnch that they "rarely receive a ful! week's pay. They are kept late at night, often until midnight, during the busy season; they must pay fo r their suppers, and i f they are a minute lata the next morning they are fined. A saleswoman there made this state ment. “ 1 have remained until 12 o'clock and been fined in the morning for- being five minute# late.” In other stores em ployees are paid but tw ice a month, and then only for tw o weeks' time; thns every three months a week's time is given to the firm, or four weeks a year. It is simply impossible for women to Uve without assistance on the lo w sal ary they get. Many o f these women re ceive partial support from brothers or fathers, and thns they can lira npon less than they receive, but what about the many Who have no such support? I believe that the vast m ajority o f the shopgirls are purs and npright. W hen we reflect npon how few out o f the 50, 000 saleswomen do fa ll and accept the propositions o f employers, It is truly wonderful. This question o f morals and wages is too delicate to be discussed before a pro miscuous audience, yet there is a neces sity for facing the question, and unless the Christian people ronse up and do something to right the wrongs o f the op pressed saleswomen and children o f this city they w ill be forced to the path o f shame or suicide. MAXWELL. COLLINS. GRAY, ward went into the commission business in Chicago. H e returned east because o f poor health and began as a m altster in Batavia, N. Y ., where he secured a fortune that en abled him to retire from business several years ago. In 1881 he was nominated for state treasurer and was the only Democrat on the state Ucket elected that fall. His victory was made the more significant by the fact that is Republican opponent was James W . H listed, the famous “ Bald Eagle o f W estchester.” H e was re-elected tw o years later and was afterw ard mode state Insurance commissioner by Governor H ill, from which office he was removed a year or so ago by Governor F low er because, it is said, o f his “ antisnapper” proclivities. Th e new m inister to Mexico, ex-Governor Isaac Pusey Gray of Indiana, is a native of Pennsylvania, o f Q uaker parentage and was born in 1828. H e w ent to Ohio w ith his parents when a boy ami remained there un t il 1855, when he located permanently at Union C ity, Ind., where lie practiced law and became interested in politics. He wa* a W h ig first and then a Republican, but joined the Greeley m ovem ent in 1872 and has since then been a Democrat. H e served four years in the Indiana state senate and was elected lieutenant governor in 1876, be coming governor on the death o f James D. W illiam s. In 1880 he was the defeated can didate o f the Democracy for U nited State** senator, his opponent being ex-President Harrison. H e was elected governor in 1884 and was mentioned as a candidate for the Democratic nomination fo r vice president., which was secured by Mr. Hendricks in that year. Mr. Gray has the reputation o f beinp an able speaker, an industrious w orker and an extrem ely sk illfu l political organizer. Patrick A ndrew Collins, Colonel N ew ’» succ«*sHor as consul general at London, is an Irishman. He was born in County Cork in 1844 and was brought to this country by his* widowed m other in 1848, the fa m ily settling in Boston, where Patrick attended the pub lie schools. When he was 12 years o f age, he le ft school and soon afterward went to Ohio, where he w orked in a mine, drove oxen, ran a stationary engine and had a rough and laborious tim e of it generally. T irin g o f the west, he returned to Boston and learned thè upholsterer’s trade. He soon became a leader am ong the Irish Am ericans and was one o f the organizers oi the Fenian movement. H e served tw o term » in the state assembly and one in the senate. A t the end o f his terra he graduated from H arvard law school and began the practice o f law. H e was a member o f the F orty eighth congress and was tw ice re-elected. H e has been a delegate to a ll the Demo cratic national conventions since 1876 and presided a t the St. Lou is convention in 1888. RETURNS TO JOURNALI8M. M e lv ille K.

The up stairs pari, of many store buildings In towns and small cities and those of the suburbs of the larger oil!as are usually better planned with reepeat to getting a return out of them. In order to be sure o f a fair income from the second and third story of a block of this kind there must be a certain amount of re gard for ths convenience of th* oooupaut» There must be a place where you can get w FIRST STOBT. water, get rid of slope and attend to the necessary household operations. Those who live In this block take their meals in a littls restaurant on the lower floor. However, tt Is natural to expect that at any time there w ill be a certain amount of light house keeping—cooking on a gas stove and that sort of living. W hile such conditions are by no mean# ideal or generally satisfactory, neverthe less one is improving the general oondltloo where be puts something fairly good w h o * before w a s something bad.
