THIS work , which is produced in a convenient form , suitable for carrying in the pocket , is one which must prove of great value to all who come within the scope of its comprehensive title . Bro .

MASONIC FLAG OF FRANCE . —The Masonic Newspaper , tells us that — "The Supreme Council of France some yea s since originated a decree by which Masonic sailors shonld be readily able to ask assistance in time of need from other ships manned or commanded by brethren of the Order . This very useful suggestion consists in hoisting a flag bearing a square and circle on a blue ground . To change
this signal of recognition into one of distress , the method is to reverse it similarly to the mode adopted in the French navy with the National flag under like circumstances . " We like the idea , and , as so many of our sailors are members of the Fraternity , the Grand Lodges of England , Scotland , Ireland , Canada , and the United States might adopt a similar flag .
