TrOtting Race.

The trottlng race on Saturday on the
Rutland Park course was well attended,
and considerable enthusiasm manifested
over the results of the contest. The pre-.
MUM was $780, three.fourths to best
and one fourth to second best horse,
mile heats, best 8 in S, to harness.
Seven entries were made, although but
four horses appeared to contend forIthe
honors o. the race, as follows: ''Taf.,"
bl. N. Dick,"s s. h.. Honest George"
b. d. and straightedge, "br. h. Attic
selling Of pools, Taffa was the savorite
at odds Of two to one, Dick being the
second choice, while the Others had but
few purchasers and at low figures. On
drawing for position Straightedge
took the pole, with Honest George sec.
ond, Taffa third and Dick outside.
On the first heat, considerable scoring
was done before the horses got of,
though on the word "go" being given,
the horses went over the score in good
style, Taffa being a length behind the
others, though early on the first quarter,
by superior speed, she succeeded in get.
ting the lead, and fine contest ensued
between her and Dick to the half pole,
which the mare succeeded in passing
half 8 length ahead in 1870. On the
third quarter Dick challenged her, and
after keeping neck and neck with her for
few rods, passed her, but again the
mare picked up and st the three-quarter
pole was again In advance about s
length, which position she kept to the
score, winning the heat in 2.55. Honest
George and Straightedge broke badly in
this heat, the former throwing his driver
on the third quarter by coming in COL
lision with the latter, in consequence OF
which he was ruled out, while the
owner OF tina latter deemed it prudent to
| withdraw from the race, his horse
having been somewhat injured by the
collision, and having apparently got into
too fast company. sI 81. SEEDS PISS .

ahead and kept daylight between him
and his opponent until within about sc

to him, but again she went up, and

down, it was without avail, as Dick had
it all his own way, and passed the

Why Women Can Not Enter Mo-
s..s.-Ta. ,za sonic Lodges. Sos E.


Frequent complaints are made by ladies
In relation to Masonry, and their principal
arguments are that their husbands have no
business to do any thing that they cannot
tell their wiveS-that that which is secret
must be wrong-that it is only mean ex-
euse, and so on. One branch of the subject
seems, however, to be capable of legendary
explanation, and the Norfolk Journal pub
fishes thereon the following paragraph:
When King Solomon was still q young
man he had married his seventh wife. She
was beautiful young Ammonitess, with
locks as black as the ravens wing, and eyes
as bright as the eagles. 1t was believed
that she was the favored fair one among all
the sultanas of the Greek King, for his af-
fections were not divided then as they after
wards became. She knew his power, and
used ditunsparingly. In addition to her other
qualities, she was as inquisitive as ever was
a woman on this earth. '
One evening King Solomon attended a
lodge on some grand occasion, and stayed out
somewhat late. When he returned home,
lie found the fair Ammonitess in the Dumps
and pouting Just like the dear wives of
Masons do sometimes now when their lords
stay out too late at the lodge. She upbraid-
ed him with neglecting her, insinuated
that he hadn't been to the lodge as he pre-
tended, and insisted that in future he should
give proof that he went there by having
herself initiated, so that she might go there
and watch him.
daughter of Ammon, replied the King,
''thou hast behaved thyself as one of the
foolish women, in presenting to question
thy lord and master. Thou art not so angry
with me as thou pretendest to be; for the
true reason of this behavior is thy insatia-
BILE curiositys,in which thou excellest Eve
herself Know, then, that here ordain
that neither thou nor any of thy inquisi-
tive sex after thee, ever enter the portals OF
a Masonic Lodge, but L shall enjoin the

any woman that shall attempt to enter a
lodge; aye, even thee, Queen of Israel
though thou ber' And that ordinance of
the wisest of monarchs has continued in
force till this day. ...-,.

Forty Year Old Beef

A letter from Stockholm, Sweden, says
" At the last meeting of the Idun Society
there was served at supper curious sort of
beef that had been preserved for forty years.
In 1927, Captain Parry had placed at School
Point, at Spitzbergen, depot OF meat
The flesh was in tin boxes, buried beneath
quantity of stones. The white bears had
displaced some of the stones and destroyed
several of the boxes, but a few still re-
mained intact, and were brought to Sweden
by the Swedish Scientific Exploration. 1t
was one of these boxes that Professor Tho
rel, OF Lund, had given to the Idun Society,
who found the meat perfectly eatable and
of good flavor" = :.

pied the whole of the extent across the val
ley of Switzerland and abutting across the
Jpra. Now, the history of this study had
gone as far. as this when it occurred to me
that Switzerland could not have been alone
so much colder than the rest OF the world;
but the adjoining countries must have
shared the temperature that existed there,
to the extent of making these great glacial
heaps. When the valley of the Jura was
tull of ice to the depth of three thousand
feet, Germany, France, Italy, and the other
adjoining countries could not have enjoyed
the temperature that exists there now. 1t
was then I thought that if there was any
thruth in all these facts J should find gla-
ciers in England. The Professor then said
that as early as 1910 he started on hunting
excursion for the tracks of glaciers in the
British Isles He had no sooner reached
the hills of Scotland and England than he
found the same evidences that the lower
hills of these countries, on which snow new
er remains in summer, was once occupied
by glaciers of sufficient dimensions to reach
to the sea shore. [Applause] In 1916 he
came to this continent for the same purpose;
and during the first walk he took in Nova
Scotia. a few hours after landing from the
steamer, he discovered the well-known
tracks, or glacial marks, and he became
satisfied that the climate of the earth had
undergone stupendous changes. A few
years ago our evidence had only gone to
this point. that glaciers had covered the
whole of temperate North America as well
as Europe. He had come to the conclusion
that the whole of North America had been
covered with ice down to the latitude of
Charleston, South Carolina, where traces of
glacial action had been found. 1t had been
proved by Danish naturalist, from inves-
tigations in Greenland, that these glaciers
moved over level plains as well as on in
c1ined surfaces. So far had these cOnclu-
sions reached when he went to Brazil two
wears ago. TO his great surprise on taking
a walk on one of the beautiful mountains
which rise above the bay of Rio, he found
unmistakable traces of the former action of
glaciers. So we must admit that the earth
was at one time cool enough to allow

Heavy Failure in New England. |
/ From lthe New York Commercial Advertiser.

Orfag, Taft & CO., of Providence, r. II.
proprietors of the extensive mills in course
of erection at WequOnnOc, above Norwich,
Conn.,, and also. OF mills in Rhode Island,
have been forced to suspend and place their
property under mortgage. The property
in Norwich has been mortgaged' to Re.
solved Waterman, of Providence, for $3.50,
600, and placed in charge of Judge Hovey.
All work at Wequonnoc has been suspend
ed. A large number of wOrkmen7 are
thrown out of employment by this occur
renee. and the completion of the monster
enterprise on the Shetucket indefinitely
suspended. Distr1st, amounting to we'll
nigh panic, prevails at Providence.
IFrom the Norwich Advertiser, March l2l a
The people of Norwich and vicinity have
been startled by the announcements that the
house'6f Orray, Taft & Co., Of Providence,
one of the most wealthy and enterprisinG
cotton manufacturing establishments, has
been forced to suspend under the pressure
of a falling market. It is matter OF deep
regret that this house should have met with
misfortune, not only because of the respect
in which its members are held, but because
it will, in all probability necessitate the
abandonment of the gigantic undertaking
of the concern at Wequonnoc, on the She,
tucSet, which promised to be of great ben
eft to Norwich, and the surrounding coun-
try. One of the three monster buildings
had been run up. two stories, and it was the
intention of the concern to complete this
and put upYtwo Horeof equal magnitude,
at a total cost of not less than $1,500,000.
1t was estimated that this establishment
would furnish subsistence for population
of near 10000; and its loss. or even embar-
rassment, is q positive calamity to this
community, because large number fpeO-
pie are thrown outof employment. -ss
We understand that several other heavy
houses have gone down with Taft & Co.,
and we are told that still others are in a
precarious condition. What will be the
extent of the crash it is impossible to pre-
dict, for this occurrence has shaken the fab
ric of credit in New England to its center.

well-discipiined soldiers, with whom strict
obedience is the most sacred obligation,
and who are therefore ab>olved from re-
