The Masonic family have a home that attracts the attention of all who pass the premises. We are persuaded to believe that half of tho members of the Masonic family do not know the value of their holdings In the Masonic Home. Corinthian Lodge No. 16, through District Deputy A. R. Rohon. presented the Home a sixty-pound pig last week. Last fall we got In touch with Brother Chas. P. Covington of Louisiana, for some fruit trees and shrubbery from the famous Stark Bro3. Nursery. Brother Covington wrote us that he thought by spring he could be the means of us getting what we wanted. Several weeks ago we received notice that a 870-pound box was at the freight office for the Ma sonic Home. We found in the box about two hundred peach and apple trees besides grape, raspberry, aspar agus, Thubarb and ornamental shrub bery. We doff our hat to Brother Cov ington for the Interest in behalf of the home. We have a Pelham's dam, why not a Covington orchard? The Relief Board at its laBt session or dered considerable Improvement to be made at the Home. Every dollar spent on Improvement only adds to the value pi the place. The Matron and Superintendent are always glad to have the Grand Master and his hustling Cabinet with them. We hope this will be the banner year In regaru to the Masonic Home. We were in formed that a pig Is forthcoming from Kansas City, also from Canton and LaGrange. W. H. DIXON, Supt. PALMYRA, MO.

The midnight services held by the higher degrees ot masonry over the remains of deceased devotees are very impressive and proper, no doubt; but it dofis appear improper that ' the sorrowing family should, be dragged out to such -services' at such hous, especlallyvis the fu neral services are to be held up on the following day to further tax the exhausted energies ot the grief stricken ones. This looks somewhat like a too se vere endurance test and it ought to be discontinued. There la no reason for the presence" of the family at .these services and they should be urged to stay at' homp, There is' too, much ' paganism about our funerals, too much morbidity and sense less demonstration. Prominent and weti-known persons should ot course lie in state for a period prior to bur ial and those who desire to look upon them should be given an opportunity, but the "masons should., take a positive stand a- - gainst the public exposure ot the deceased at the time of the funeral and especially the bar. barous practice ' ot holding up the mourning family for a pub lic demonstration ot their suffer- , ing. These things are horrible and, do not belong to a period of progressive and enlighten ment. .. ' Let us not delay the day of our emancipation from ' morbid customs and superstltutipns, but let us hasten that sensible ad vancement through which only we may hope for thing that aro hlkhest and bes.
