A REMARKABLE RECORD.
The Maccabees Close a Most Prosperous
Year.
Among the 700 Maccabees of January
1st, 1SS2, there may have been some
who dreamed of the time when the
Order wouia number its 100,000 members, when it would become a power
among the fraternal beneficiary organizations of the land in their mission of protecting the widow and the
fatherless. This is no longer a dream ^
but a reality. They begin the year
1893 with a membership of 99,318,
fourth in numerical strength among
the great organizations composing the
National Fraternal Congress, and enjoying greater prosperity than ever
before. The history of this Order has
been a most remarkable one, even from
the day of its birth, but the year 1892
eclipses all that have gone before, as
the following statement of its business
will show:
The membership Jan. 1st, 1892, was:
Supreme Tent K.   O. T. M 24,040
Great Camp for   Michigan • 31,112
Ladies of the Maccabees . 7,200
Total 62,352
The membership Jan 1st, 1S93, was:
Supreme   Tent K. O. T. M 39,878
Great Camp for Michigan 46,930
Ladies of the Maccabees 12,500
Total 99,318
A net gain during the year of 36,966
members.
Since January 1st, 1892, there has
been a net gain of 674 subordinate
branches of the Order, mailing the total
number of tents and hives at 'the pres-
ert time 1,924.
In the Supreme Ten 1170 death claims
have been xiaid during the year,-amoun t-
ing to S 314,765, andoldisabilityclaims,
amounting to $6,000.
Iu the Great Camp for Michigan 198
death claims were paid amounting to
§ 295,256.000, and 101 disability claims
amouuting to $5,700; while the Ladies
of the Maccabees have paid out during
the year for death claims 322,000, making the total expenditures during the
year for death and disability claims as
follows:
Svipreme   Tent § 320,756

Saved Ijy "Aledjcal Testimony.
A trial took place at the Old Bailey, in
London, at which the late Mr. Carpue,
the surgeon, was able to rescue a man
who was wrongly charged with being a
convict and with having unlawfully returned from transportation. The chief
clerk of Bow street police station produced a certificate, dated, several years
before, of the conviction of a person, alleged to be the prisoner, under the name
of Stuart. The governor of the jail in
which Stuart was confined believed the
prisoner to be the person: who was then
in his custody. The guard of the hulks
to which Stuart was consigned from the
jail swore positively that the prisoner
was Stuart. On cross examination of the
guar d he admitted that Stuart had a wen
on his left hand, and so well marked was
it that it formed a part of his description
on the books of the convict hulk.
The prisoner said his name was Stip-
ler. He denied that he was the' person
named Stuart, "but he could not "bring
forward any confirmatory evidence because such a number of years had elapsed.
The recorder was proceeding to charge
the jury when the counsel for the defense
requested permission to put a question
to an eminent surgeon, Mr. Carpue, who
happened to be in court. He deposed
that it was impossible to remove such a
wen as had heen described without leaving a mark or cicatrix:. Both hands of
the prisoner were examined, but no wen
nor any mark of a wen having been removed was found.—Toronto Mail.

Total §643,711
One of the most gratifying results of
the year is that this large amount of
money and great number of death and
disability claims have been paid at less
expense to the members than in the
year previous, one assessment less being called in 1892 than in 1891. The
deaths have been less than five to each
1,000 members. This is a very low rate
for an organization of its age, and evidences the care taken in the selection
of members.
The cost to members under 35 years
of age in.the Supreme Tent during
the past year, exclusive of Tent dues,
was §6 for each S 1,000 of life benefits
carried: at 45 years it was!? 9 per S1,000-
In the Great Camp it was §6forSl,000
at the age of 35, aud SS.50 at the age ol
45.
. These figures areless than one-fourth
what life benefits alone would have cost
in the Old Line Life lusurai.ee Companies, while the Maccabees furnished
disability benefits arising from sickness
injury or old age, in addition to life
benefits, without extra charge—the
figures above quoted covering cost of
all these benefits for the year. It is
little wonder that it has grown so rapidly, when it offers" such advantages to
the people at so low a cost.
The total amount of death and disability claims paid by the Order since
its organization to Jan. 1st, 1893, is §1,
912,5S7.7o, every claim being paid immediately on presentation of proper
proof.
The Order is now established in 29
states and provinces, and growing
move rapidly than any other similar'
society of the country, as is shown by
its business for December, when it re-
ceiyed over'4.500 applications for membership and organised over 60 subordinate branches.
Its, membership must be composed
largely of young men, as we find the
average age of the members is about 33
years. This is undoubtedly one groat
reason for its low rate of mortality
and correspondingly low cost for death
benefits, -and is one of its valuable
'features, one that strongly recommends
it to all classes.
Its equitable plan, careful and conservative methods, immediate payment
of all just claims, enterprising, yet
economical management and the zeal
aud ability displayed by its executive
officers have won for it the commanding place it occupies to-day in the es-.
tiination of all who have" become acquainted with its work. "That it is
destined in the near future to become
the leading beneficiary order of the
country there seems little doubt.
Ways of Cliniliers.
There are many and devious ways and
means of getting into society practiced
nowadays, and it would be interesting
to know of all the wirepulling that has
heen done by this one and that one before the acquirement of a recognized-
position in the world of fashion. A curious combination of circumstances occurred not long ago. Mr. A., who was
"out of it," leased a "palatial mansion"
in Fifth avenue at an exorbitant rent,
which he subleased to Mrs. B.—who
was well established "in the swim"—
with the understanding that she should
introduce his young daughters to society
and thereby throw open the portals of
the "beau nionde" to the rest of the
family. Certain fine ladies, however,
had been told of the transaction, and,
forming a cabal, made it known to Mrs.
B. in a roundabout manner that it was
useless to try to force "those people"
upon the Four Hundred.
The mortifying discussion on the subject, coming, as it was sure to do, to the
ears'pf .Mr, A., made him perfectly frm*
ous, and as the lease had not been signed
he withdrew from the arrangement, and
Mrs. B., rathe?" than encounter the comments which would be made about her
change of plans, concluded to pass her
winter in the south of France.—New
York Tribune.
Articulation in Lower Animals. -
One must guard against the belief that
monkeys possess articulated language.
About some savages it can hardly be
said that they possess an articulated
language. The Bushmen speak in a sort
of articulated "voicing," and must add
gestures to make themselves understood.
On the other hand, the raven, the
thrush, the mocking bird, the starling,
etc., express themselves in well articulated sounds. The parrots articulate in
a surprising manner, though they do not
understand the meaning of their own
words.
This shows that other living beings be-
sidesman possess the necessary organsfor
articulated sounds. The apes of Dr. Garner seem to possess articulation, according to his reports, but their vocabulary
is extremely limited. As regards tins
point, however, it can be said that even
among civilized people very limited vocabularies arefound.—Copenhagen Family Journal.
Tlie Talne of a Pension.
Some of the hardships resulting from
the fall of the rupee to persons with
fixed incomes are inevitable; some, on
the other hand, seem to he due quite as
much to red tape as to the condition of
the currency. For instance, daughters
of deceased members of the Bengal civil
service whose fathers contributed to the
pension fund are each entitled to a pension "of £100 a year. If they reside in
England they drawtheir full £100 a year.
If, however, they reside in India, it is
paid to them in rupees, which work out
at the present rate of exchange at the
value of forty-five pounds a year. The
loss is so great as to he almost ruinous.—
London Truth.
The Ancient Knocker.
The days are gone when the inmates
of a house in aristocratic portions of
New York could tell by the knock at
tho door whether a member of the family or a visitor was awaiting admittance.
Also they knew then what member was
there, or the social standing of the visitor who was outside.
A few small knockers still linger in
Varick and Yandam streets and ^nilar
localitiesTbut nobody seems to use them.
The bell may show advanced civilisation, but there are people who niiss tho
knocker..—Sew York Sun.
l.Iouds iu History.,
Henry VHI of England, in the earlier
.part of his reign, posed as a saint. He
thought himself a great theologian, and
as long as he was surrounded by brunettes seemed really more devoted to the
Creator than to any human being.
But when the fair Anno Boleyn came
upon the scene he, too, fell a victim, and
it is not worthy of remark that neither
she nor Jane Seymour, Anno of Cleves
or Catharine Parr could be called a brunette.—New York Herald;
