Many years ago | was on mail coach
and as soon IS we came to a public house
the coachman pulled up for fraction Of
a second. He Gid so when we came to a
second public house, and then asked
him the reason. He pointed 10 the off
hand wheeler, and said that she had long
been completely blind and she would stop
every place on the road at which she had
before stopped. He had found by sxpe-
rience that less time was wasted by pul.
ling up his team than by trying to drive
her past the place, for she was contented
with momentary stop. After this
watched her, and it was evident that she
knew exactly, before the coachman be
gan to pull up the ether horses, every
public house on the road, for she had at
some time stopped at all. think there

New York Tribune.l
The installation of the Prince of
Wales is regarded by the Masonic frater-
nifty in England as one of the most
prominent in its history, as he is the first
heir-apparent to the English throne who
has held the Office of Grand Master of
the United Grand Lodge of England.
George, Prince of Wales, who was Grand
Master in 1890, only presided over a por-
tion of the Masonic fraternity, as at that
time the body was divided by an unfor.
tunate schism Of long duration, under
the titles Of the "Ancients and the
" Moderns." The union of the two
bodies was effected under the Grand
Mastership Of the Duke of Sussex. one
of the sons of George Ill, who had no
prospect of ever succeeding to The
throne. He, however, became the FIRST
Grand Master of the United Grand
Lodge, ard since his time no royal
prince has ever held the office. The in
stallation ceremonies are to be held in a
large hall capable of holding about
10000 persons, and yet, in spite of these
ample accommodations, only one Mas
ter Mason from each lodge can be
admitted to witness the ceremonial. The
Grand Lodge itself is nearly 1000 strong;
the officers and representatives of the
Provincial and District Grand Lodges
numbers 1000 more; the representatives
of the foreign Grand Lodges are also
numerous, while Masters, Wardens and
