THE New York Observer states
some historical facts about Masonry
that may be of interest to the gem
eral reader:
Those brethren who contend so
ZealOusly for the Old Testament
Masonry forget that for many cen
turtles, in England and on the CONT
nent of Europe, men were required
to he Christians, to acknOW ledge
the supremacy of the Pope, and be
of the Catholic faith. That in
France, at one time, they We're
called ''Pontifical Brothers," The
Church was their chief patron, and
gave them employment in the
building of cathedrals, monasteries,
churches, etc. The Pope issued
bulls in their favor, and held out
inducements to become MasOns.
The highest dignitaries of the Church
were initiated into the order, and
sought to control it. As late as the
rupture between Henry VIII. and
the Pope, about 1929, Cardinal VOL
sey was Grand Master of MasOns in
England.
We have not the statistics of Ma
sonry before us, but from general
recollection we think we are safe
in estimating that 80 per cent. of all
acknowledged genuine MasOns in
the world are Christians and Jews
of these, "a per cent. are at least
nominal Christians, and of them so
per cent. are English speaking, and
Is per cent. of all the Masons in the
world are in the United States and
Canada. Masonry does not now,
nor has it for a thousand years,
prospered and flourished in any
country in which the Christian re-
ligiOn is not taught.

A Race Between a Carrier Pigeon
and a Locomotive Engine.


Dover is twenty miles from Lon
don ''as the crow flies" and seven
ty-six and half miles by railroad
and a few days ago, says the True
Citizen, there was an exciting race
between the two cities. The French
police wished to forward to Lon
don a very important document as
quickly as possible, and the ques-
ton was, whether a carrier pigeon
or the continental mail EXPIRE SIS"
could take it the sooner.
1t was determined to try in COM
petitiYe manner both means of con-
veyance. The railroad company
selected its strongest and fastest en-
CINE, and the French police hired
the services of a Belgian Voya
geur," which is one Of the best
breed of carrier pigeons. At the
moment that the train started the
little messenger with the document
fastened to him was tossed out of
window of a car. Flying about a
half q mile high, for a minute or
two he circled about as if in search
of bearings, and then took straight
course for London. His apparent
hesitation led the railroad officers
to feel confident in their own sue
cess. They made their iron horse
stretch every nerve, and they scored
a mile for every minute. But in
the hazy, sunny atmosphere, and
borne along by the west wind, the
bird beat the engine by twenty
minutes-a time allowance repre-
senting eighteen miles. He accom-
plished in fifty-siX minutes what
the engine was seventy-six minutes
in accomplishing.

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS.
BY FREDERICK LANGBKrDeE.

1 know two eyes, two soft brown eyes,
Two ewes as sweet and dear
As ever danced with gay surprise,
or melted with a tear
In whose fair rays heart may baSk-
Their Swallowed rays serene
But, little maid, You must not ask
Whose gentle eyes l mean.
know voice OF fairy tone,
Like broOlSlet in the June,
That sings to please Itself alone,
AIittle Old-wOrld time
Whoss music haunts the listeners ear,
And will not leave IL free
Rut / shall never tell you, dear,
Whose accents they may be.
1 know a golden hearted maid
For whom / built a shrine,
A ieafy nook Of murmurOus shade,
Deep in this heart of mine
And in that calm and cool recess
To make her home she came
But oh you'd never, never guess
That little maiden's name.

.Endieions Adversising.

A man was denouncing newspa-
per advertising to crowd of listen
ers. Last week, said he. 81 had
an umbrella stolen from the vesti-
bule of the - Church 1t was a
gift and vaIuing it very highly,
spent double its worth in adver-
Using, but have not recovered it,
elbow did you word your adver-
tisement ?" asked a merchant.
"Here it is" said the man, produc-
ing a slip cut from a newspaper.
The gentleman took it and read
'tLost from the vestibule of the -
church last Sabbath evening, a
black silk umbrella. The gentle
man who took it will be handsome
ly rewarded by leaving it at No. =
San Fernando street. /" +" Now
said the merchant, Il am a liberal
advertiser, and have always found
that it paid me well. A great deal
depends upon the manner in which
an advertisement is put. Let us
try for your umbrella again, and, if
you do not acknowledge then that
advertising pays, / will purchase
YOU a new one" The merchant
then took slip of paper from his
pocket and wrote: IF the man
who was seen to take an umbrella
from the vestibule of the church
last Sabbath evening does not wish
to get into trouble and have a stain
cast upon the Christian character
which he values so highly, he will
return it to No. - San Fernando
street. He is well known" This
duly appeared in the paper, and on
the following morning the man was
astOnished when he opened the
front door of his residence. On the
porch lay at least a dozen umbrellas
of all shades and sizes that had been
thrown in from the sidewalk, while
the front yard was literally paved
with umbrellas. Many Of them
had notes attached to them saying
that they had been taken by mis-
take, and begging the loser to keep
the little affair quiet.

a Man Who stopped Republication.

n lhh ~ hO SAOppeO AAepuhAatfOH'
Years ago Illinois was poor and
burdened with debt of seven mil
lions of dollars. A large part of the
Indebtedness had been created in
order to carry out q system of inter
nal improvements. The people,
finding it difficult to pay their taxes,
talked loudly of reputation. \
convention met at Springfield, the
capital of the State, to voice the
popular feeling. The Tepudiating
ordinance was prepared. 1t would
have been adopted but for the in
reference of one man. The incl
dent is thus described by the New
Orleans Times
The convention met, and the re-
pudiatiOn ordinance was prepared.
1t was about being adopted when
Stephen a. Douglas, who was sick
at his hotel, asked to be taken into
the convention. He was carried on
IA mattress, and lying on his back,
for he was too i'll to sit up, he wrote
the following resolution, which he
offered as a substitute for the repudi-
alton ordnance:
"ReSOlved, That Illinois will be
AlphNoNs tNlAAAOuSAA 0AiC ACNNA BhS q
cent"
The resolution took like wildtire.
1t touched the honest sentiment of
every member of the convention.
1t was adopted with the widest
enthusiasm. 1t dealt a death-blOw
To the reputation sentiment
throughout the State.
The canal bonds Immediately adj
Vanced in value, and in short
time were quoted at par. Tele-
grams were received from New
York that Illinois could have all
the money she wanted.
What was the result? Capital and
emigration flowed into the State,
and Illinois is to-day one of the
most prosperous States in the Union.
She has more miles of railway
than any of the other States. Her
broad prairies are one great grain
field and are dotted with hundreds
of thousands of peaceful, happy
homes. Thriving cities and beauti-
full villages are found everywhere
within her borders,
This is what honesty would have
done for Illinois. What would re-
pudiatiOn have done?

HOW Typhoid Fever May he Pro
Pagated.
American.


In a recent number of the POpu-
lar Science Monthly, Ely Van De
Warker. Md, of Syracuse, n. Y,
under the title of "Typhoid Fever
Poison, /" reports seventeen cases of
the fever in an isolated suburb of
the city in which there were but
fourteen houses. The first case was
imported thence through the over
flowing of the privy in which all
the excrement of the patient had
been thrown, a well became con-
tarninated. All the persons who
were taken i'll used this well. 1t
was the constant or occasional source
of supply of seven of the fourteen
families. No cases occurred in the
households who did not drink from
this well. Some cases were devel-
oped in every family who drew
water from it. The families who
escaped were exposed to every other
influence but that of this particular
well their own water supply was
the same, less the privy contami-
nation. 1T is not unlikely that their
own wells received some of the
overflow from their own vaults, but
as these were free from typhoid
poison, no i'll results ensued.
About eight years since, DR..
Flint, who has studied and written
a great deal on the subject, became
satisfied that source of typhoid
fever existed which was little
dreamed of, and which at first
thought would seem impossible.
This source, as he then enunciated
it to his home medical society land
not to his knowledge having been
before suggesteD, is found in ice.
If this idea is thoroughly inVesti-
gated, it will not appear to be very
prOblematical In the first place,
the poison is not destroyed or inn
paired by freezing (some one long
ago remarked that ice often masks
or cOncealS what it does not kill).
Now, whence comes our ice supply ?
Often from shallow reservoirs in the
midst of neighbOrhOOds of large
towns purpOsely made to receive
surface drainage from all around,
under the erroneous idea that no
harm will ensue, as freezing is sup
posed to purify and render harm
less what might otherwise be Objec-
llOudDIts OEtdl NudullllCo VI AOC
are taken from canals, from creeks,
from stagnant ponds, and from
streams that are either the natural
or artificial recipients of surface
drainage, of the outpOurings of sew
ers, and of uncleanliness from vari-
Gus sources. The danger from ice
taken from improper places is not
only from that which is drunk, but
from its use in refrigeratOrs and
preservatOries, where milk, butter,
fruits, vegetables and meats are
subjected to its saturating influence
as ii vapOriZes. Several instances
have fallen under the doctors OBJ
servation where the disease, by the
most careful investigation, could
not be traced to any other source
and if we accept as a fact the state
ment positively made by Budd in
the London Lancet, in July, 1889,
that it never originates de moro, but
proceeds from a special and specific
poison, which is capable of diffu'
sion to a great extent, and which
preserves its nOXiOus qualities for {
long period, even if buried for many
months, we cannot reject the by.
pOthesis of ice infection; and it is
hoped that it will be made the sub
ject of very thorough and careful

Hon. a. II. STEPHENS says, in
his opinion, "The Democratic party
stands to-day in better position
before the country than it had at
any time since the period of the
war. The position in which it was
placed was one in which the whole
party was united, and on which it
could make a splendid fight. The
extra session had accomplished this.
1t had thrown into the background
the question of currency, finance
and the tariff on which the party
was divided in opinion, and brought
to the front an issue on which indi-
viduals and sections could and
would make common cause. He
was satisfied that his fellow men,
bers felt as he did that there had
been no surrender, no backdOwn,
but that every substantial element
of the principles on which the Dem
Ocrats had made the fight in the eX-
ira session had been won.

IT is stated that Gen. Ewing, in
his Democratic canvass for Gov
ernOr of Ohio, is making a strong
point on the fact that his party,
since having the majority in the
House of Representatives, has effect
ed great economies in the admins
tration of the Government. The
notorious fact, however, is pointedly
made, that since the Democrats
obtained the mastery of the House
the lobby has utterly disappeared
from Washington, which is an argu-
ment every farmer and mechanic
in Ohio can understand. 1t means
that huge and wasteful leaks in the
Treasury have been stopped.
