before retiring he examined his premises to see if they wero ah right . Everything appeared to be correct . The meat safe was ex a mine I , and it contained the material for tho Sunday ' s meal—a sirloin of beef , a goodly quantity of rump steak , a fine ham , and other things . A short time after Mr . S had again occasion to
look at the meat safe . To his astonishment he fonud that the contents bad vanished—beef , ham , steak , and also a quantity of sugar , Where could thoy have disappeared to in so short a time ? He at once proceeded to the street to see if he could discover the thief . No one was to be seen , and Mr . S returned to tho house tc
mourn tho loss of what he intended for his Sunday ' s repast . He , however , could not remain proviaionless . But there would be a difficulty in procuring the necessary edibles , as the hour was late and nearly all the shops in the neighbourhood were closed .

and with that fraternal feeling which is one of the leading features of the mystic Craft he at once furnished bis neighbour with the needful supplies for the Sunday .

A loud and piercing cry is heard , At twelve o'clock at night ; A man came tearing wildly ov , Impetuous was his flight .

The recital of the poem touched the hearts of tho assembled brothron . A vote of condolence was accorded to Mr . S aud it was unanimously decided that they should present to him another sirloin iu place of the one he had so mysteriously lost . —Liverpool Daily Courier

WASHINGTON , D . C , 8 TH SEPTEMBER 1889 . GRAN D Master Roome , of the Conclave of Knights Templars , which will meot here in October , has created a sensation by issuing an order prohibiting Commanderies of the State of Iowa from participating in the Templar parade . On this action hangs a long oantroversy , which will come up at the tri-annual Conclave for
discussion , and will cause very hot debates . At the tri-annual meeting in St . Louis in 1 S 8 G a form of ritual was discussed , which last year Roome ordered should be used in all tho Commanderies in his jurisdiction . The Conclave of 1886 had left the question of the ritual in rather an unsettled state , and a great many Knights did not look
upon it as adopted . This faction was sti * ongest in the Grand Commandery in Iowa , which refused to use Roome ' s ritual , whereupon the latter declared Iowa Tomplars to be in a state of rebellion and disloyalty to the Order , and their continued resistance has now
caused the arbitrary order prohibiting them the right to parade . The matter of the ritual will come before the Conclave next month and will be fought over . Iowans and their followers , who are very strong , are contending for tbe ancient form of working their degrees , while Roome will advocate a more modern one . —Boston Herald .
Promptness in opening Masonic bodies in conformity to the byelaws is the best method of securing a prompt attendance of the members . It sometimes happens that there is a lack of punctuality on the p . irfc of presiding officer ? , and tbey often delay tho opeuirjg ,
thus making it necessary to hold the meetings to a much later hour . Promptness should be impressed on presiding officers , aud when adhered to , will insure prompt and willing attendance on the part of the members .
