WASHINGTON ELKS An Order That Has for Its Motto the Golden Rule. ITS GROWTH AND PROSPERITY Sketches of the Office Bearers of the Local Lodge. ——_>+—_—_. THEIR NEW HOME The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was formed in 1867 by a company of theatrical peuple, tn innocent sport, for the promotion of a closer friendship, social intercourse and mutual protection, with the motto of the golden rule. In New York, when work was done, and the cares of the day and night over, this small band as- sembled to bring good cheer to each other and exchange sallies of humor and pro- fessional pleasantries. Soon there was the desire for stronger ties to unite them, that out of such a union good might come in time of sickness and poverty. Charles Vivian, a young English actor, is entitled to the honor of being its founder and: of christening the order the Elks, after the animal of that name, as it is fleet of foot, strong of limb, timorous of doing wrong, reluctant to engage in combat, save to de- feat its young and to protect the weak and defenseless. The word “Buffalo” had been adopted by an English organization, and that no doubt has Its effect upon the sug- gestion of a name applicable to a new as- sociation in America. In the comparatively-few years that small acorn planted by the founders has grown to a gigantic oak. The practical e: emplification of the spirit of the order ex- E. B.

It is not exclusively an order of the pro- fession that originated it, for, though in the membership the stage is largely rep- resented, the order is composed of repre- sentative men, most reputable in their respective callings, as clergymen, bankers, lawyers, brokers, merchants, physicians and capitalists. Upon the floor of the House of R. sentatives and of the United States Senate it has honored members.

The principles of the order are such that men of every faith can eprroach the altar ond engage in the obligation.

The supreme governing body ts a grand lodge composed of the past exalted rulers of subordinate lodges end secre- tarles who have served three consecutive years. The membership of the grand lodge -is now upwards of fourteen hundred. Washington Lodge, No. 15, as its number indicates, was the fifteenth to be instituted, New York being No. 1 and Philadelphia No. 2.

From the New York Times. “How do you test a diamond?” asked a Times representative of a leading jeweler. “By looking at it,” he replied. “I know @ diamond as you would know a New Yorker if you were to meet him in Russia or Timbuctoo.” “But are there no tests by which the uninitiated may protect themselves?” “No. Other stones than diamonds will scratch or cut glass. A diamond when filed presents @ peculiar appearance, but one who did not know it beforehand would not be likely to note the distinguishing characteristics afterward. The moisture of the breath fades more quickly from a diamond than from an imitation stone, but the difference ts very slight. Experts breathe upon a diamond to dim it so that flaws may be more readily detected. These are of several kinds, beginning with color. A pure white diamond is the most valua- ble. Next to that a bluish tint is high in favor, because it gives a better effect than other shades. “There is one peculiarity about this blue tint which should be understood by those possessing jewels. A blue-white diamond will affect the color of stones finer than itself in the same way that a blue-white fatric makes a pure white look soiled and blue-black causes other blacks to look rusty. “There are many flaws in diamonds. Sometimes they are like tiny blots, such as may be seen in cheap window glass. Others are like specks of sand. Cloudiness is a frequent flaw. Then, too, there may be a nick of infinitesimal proportions, but such as would involve wasteful cutting, or it would interfere with refraction from other angles. So you see with so many possibilities of imperfection how rare a perfect stone is likely to be, and conse- quently how great 1s its value. Diamonds and Rubies. “Diamonds will stand rough usage. They may be washed with soap and water and left wet without injury. They are prac- tically imperishable, except by fire. “The correct setting for a diamond is with as little gold showing as possible. What is known as the ‘hoop setting’ (that is, in a straight line parallel with the edges of the ring) is the style at present where more than one stone is used. The cluster, such as known a few years ago, is seldom seen. “A single diamond has come to he recog- nized as an engagement ring almost as tacitly as the plain gold circle for the wedding ring. There are, however, some who prefer fancy rings, and I have now an order for a sapphire set tn diamonds. “Rubles are quite as expensive as dia- monds, and fine specimens are much more rare. ‘Pigeon blood’ is seldom to be had at any price.” “What is pigeon blood?” was asked. “It is a peculiar dark, rich red, likened by some to arterial blood, though that hardly describes it. It is a sort of mixture of blood and cochineal, tf you can under- stand such a blend of color. “The new ruby mines of South Africa yield stones wholly unlike the old oriental ruby, which come almost exclusively from Burmah. These African stones are what cause all the trouble in the market. They have set the fashion for a deep rose pink shading into a red that is almost a ma- genta, and with stones of this color it ts almost impossible to tell a ruby from a fine garnet. Experts are frequently de- ceived. Of course, so far as beauty is con- cerned, it matters little, but it renders the market value of a ruby uncertain. Sapphires and Pearls. “Sapphires and emeralds are the samo stone, but the former is more popular just at présent. That is one of the strange things learned about precious stones, that they are classified, not according to color, but to hardness and composition. The green stone, which is now seen everywhere mass- ed for ornament, and which the ignorant would describe as a pale or grass green emerald, is really a garnet found in tho Ural mountains. It is known as olivine, and is strikingly effective. “Turquois, which leaped to sudden favor last year, 1s going out of fashion, and for an excellent reason. It ts really not a precious stone, though {t will always find admirers among blondes, and is especially suited for ornaments for young girls. The trouble with it is that it requires to be kept with great care. Grease or even a few drops of cologne will turn tke color to what a woman would call ‘a nasty green,’ and there is no way of restoring “Pearls will always be among our most precious jewels. A fine pearl is one that is perfectly spherical and without a flaw, even so much as might have been made by the prick of a No. 10 needle, and it will have a rich sheen like satin. Such a pearl will never discolor and will stand almost as rough usage as a diamond. A pearl is like @ human tooth. It is cov- ered with three layers similar to enamel. So long as these are intact it is not easily injured, but once let the enamel be pierced ever so slightly and decay sets in. Black pearls are much worn this season. They fre rich but inconspicuous ornaments.” Keep Him Oat! From the Chicago Record. It’s no use to tell about him. You have encountered him. He always sits just be- hind you, and before the curtain goes up you hear him say to whoever is unfortu- nate enough to be with him: “I saw this in New York with the original cast.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS Ruskin’s idea of eating is nearly as high up in the air as gome of his other fant sies, but none tog exglted, when one re- members how wille-regching the influence of cooking is. Here‘'ls what he says: “Cooking means the Khowledge of Medea and Circe and of Galypso and of Helen and of Rebekah and of theQueen of Sheba. It means the knowjledgq’ of all herbs and fruits and balms and spices and of all that is healing and sweet in fields and groves and savory in m¢bts; it means watchful- ness and willingness aad readiness of ap- pliance; it means thd economy of your great-grandmothers and the science of modern chemists;,;it means much tasting and no was ht means English thor. oughness and French art and Arabian hos- itality; it means) in ffhe, that you are to perfectly and always ladies, ‘loaf giy- ers,’ and that yow are-to see imperatively that everybody ‘has ‘Something nico to t." Yet all this richness ig expected to come to the everage girl by intuition, since she schooled in every other art except that of embellishing and satisfying the cravings of the inner man. “Oh, she will learn it all in time,” is the common remark of an over-indulgent mother, who knows perfectly well that if her daughter marries it will be her lot, in all probabil- ity, to do muoh of her own work. Just hink of the awful condition, the actual re- lion of the digestive machinery while she ig practicing on her newly acquired household! Ponder on the waste of raw material, the humiliation of repeated fail- ures, the exhausted energies of a not re- sourceful woman, and then consider the cost of these post-nuptial experiments. It balances on the wrong ide of the books. There is a Siberian dish, called “pillma: that makes good eating in America on a ecld day, and can be made to utilize scraps of cold meat, though the Russian dish calls for fresh meat. Chop quite fine about a pound of cold meat—steak, if you use fresh meat; put with it one small onion and sea- son well; then add a cup of rich gravy. If the meat is fresh, cook for a few moments in the gravy, for the American palate likes well-cooked meats. If the meat has beene| cooked, simply heat it through, and set aside to cool while you make the paste. Beat up one egg; then add {t to a pound of flour, salted slightly, and work into a stiff, tough dough, with as little water or milk as possible. Roll the dough yery thin and cut out round pleces, in the center of which put two tablespoonsful of the meat. Gather the edges up and pinch together, as for apple dumplings; then put them in a kettle of boiling soup stock. As soon as they come to the surface of the stock they are ficiently cooked. Serve them with a gr broth, made of melted but- ter, with a dash of vinegar in it, or with a boat of the broth in which they were boiled. * S158 ote Teach your daughters that it is more saving than spending—whether money or anything else—but it is doing both to the best possible advantage that must be a part of her education, if she would be a real helpmeet to a good man some day. . oe e Tripe is considered one of the easiest kinds of food to digest, because it is the stémach of the ruminating animal, and holds all the digestive secrétions. Wash it well in cold water, then scrape with a knife and wash again. Then throw into a pot of boiling water and cook till tender, which will take at least five hours. The water in which ft has been boiled will make excellent soup. To fry it, wait till {t 1s cool; then cut in small strips, salt and pepper, dip in beaten egg and then in grated bread crumbs; fry in smoking-hot fat. For a dressiflg, take two tablespoons- ful of butter, one tablespoonful of lemon juice and a teaspodnfulof chopped parsley, and spread over the hot tripe and serve. Suppose you have uhexpected company and only a can of salmon in the house for meat. Cases of that Kind are not infre- quent, and it is acnice-thing to know Just how to serve such'a d(éh in an appetizing manner. Try this: Fill a buttered dish with alternate layers of the salmon, which has been carefully removed from the can and flaked, and bread crumbs, sliced hard- boiled eggs and seasoning. Over the top dust finely powdered bread crumbs, season them and dot with bits of butter, and then pour over it all a Ralfcup of cream, or put on more butter and use milk. Bake in @ quick oven for fwenty minutes. It makes a rich and savory dish. . es 8 8 About the worst thing parents can do is to discuss the failings of children before them. The next worst thing is for one parent to attempt to punish the child and the other parent protest against it. Either action will damage the respect of the child for one of the other of its parents, and if there is one thing more than another that parents want to preserve it {s their dig- nity before their children. A child who gets the idea that one parent is at va- rlance with the other on the question of discipline will make both unhappy and ren- der itself decidedly objectionable by play- ing off one parent against the other. If you want to have any harmony tn the fam- ily get together on the question of disci- plining the children—at least in their pres- «nee—and then if you want to quarrel on methods, do it in the privacy of your own apartments, where you can have it out without lowering yourselves in the eyes of the children, + 8 we ee Do not indulge the habit of giving your children money in an indiscriminate man- ner, to spend as they like. It leads to a great many ills, not the least of which ig an impaired digestion from overeating. A child who hag a penny or a nickel every time he asks for it can soon make himself {ll eating the cheap candy and cakes, put up to look so attractive on the outside, and then you rush off for a doctor and fill the child up with medicine as a result of your own selfishness in giving him money to get rid of his importunities.

The Body Gains Rapidly in Weight and Strength. From the Greatest of All Nerve and Brain Restorers. Paine’s Celery Compound Makes People Well. Watch the Crowded Streets of Any Large City. By far the finest portrait galleries in the wofld are the crowded streets of a large city. “What a serious, tired expression on most every face!” one can't help saying to himself. It is rare that one goes by that does not wear some- thing of that strained, worn look; and how many more pale lips there are than rosy oncs. How often the eyes are dull, the flesh flabby, and that tell-tale line from the corner of the lip to the an- glo of the nose, drawn painfully deep. Poor health is unmistakable to the most casual observer. “When the body is but poorly filled out with flesh, and a feeling of languor pervades the system, plainly there 1s something lacking in the vital, nutritive powers. Impure blood 1s keeping the tissues poorly fed and starvingly vitalized. Get the blood pure with Paine’s celery compound and languor and debility will leave the body. Re- store the nervous energy to the brain and nerve cells and good spirits and vigor will take the place of despondency and moodiness. Backaches, persis- tent headaches, that general feeling of fatigue, neuralgia, rheumatism and heart weakness that shows itself in frequent palpitation—are all but various symptoms of a nervous organization badly nourished. Paine's celery compound promotes the healthy activity of the organs that make the blood and keep it pure. The weak parts of the body are thus enabled to build themselves up when this magnificent nerve and tissue builder is employed. ‘The complete recovery and repair of the diseased organs in this way goes on rapidly, naturally, and the happy results are permanent. The effect of the intelligent use of” Paine’s celery compound in all wasting and debilitating diseases is to check at once the decline in strength, and to keep the tis- sues from further degeneration.
