A Ma some Census.

The Ncllc Frcie Presse of Vienna has
been undertaking rather desperate sta
tlstical task, in which it haSn succeeded
quite 50 we'll as migh- have been wished.
This is a census of the whole society of
Frecmasons distributed over the face OF
the globe. he total number OF members
IS asserted to have exceeded five millions
al the end Of last year. The rank and
file are distributed among about thir-
teen thousand lodges. England, however.
which boasts as many of them as any
other country, does not appear on the
list of the Presse. which also omits all
mention Of the society as established in
Holland, Belgium, Denmark and Russia.
ne countries mentioned afford however,
plenty OF opportunity for comparing the
popularity Of the association in different
parts Of the globe. 1t is not, perhaps,
surprising that China should be in pos
session OF l3 and Japan of ), although
liaytl IS already able to boast of as many
as - Among the civilized countries it
seems that the Western are as a rule,
more prolific IN Freemasons than the 9TH
ers. Thus Spain contains 300 lodges,
Italy TO- and Greece no more than ii.
The English speaking races are ahead of
all others, and Australia figures on the
list with 226 lodges, while New Zealand
has Il and Canada 30 But the country
most affected by the Masons is, beyond
doubt, North America, the United States
being credited with the gigantic total of
1854 lodges. According to this account
there must be in the States a lodge for
every otNN) of the male Dnn,,latinn
whereas in Ireland the proportion is one
for every 10000, France about one for
every $4,000 and Hungary about one for
every 10000 of the other countrcs
India has lis, Brazil 256, and the other
States of South America about 10 be
tween them.

found the gold watch and chain belong
ing to eX-Otticcr kinZlc in her water
closet about a week ago. She told the
neghbors OF her discovery, and this com
inc to the ears of the officers, caused an
Investigation and the recovery of the
property. Mrs. Turner testified that She
found the watch while hunting for bet
spider. This morning il Chronicle To-
porter called at her house and She gave Il
more explicit account of the spider
About a wear ago She noticed that a large
black spider had located its web in one
OF the upper corners OF the Wattr-cloSct
The insect was marked with Il large gold
spot on its back and Mrs. Turner became
impressed with the idea that the gold
spot was sign of good luck She ac-
cordingly told her children to leave the
insect unmocsted. 1t lived in a state OF
undiSturbcd and pampcrcd repoSe in its
Web which soon became very large and
heavy. The spider was occasionally fed
by the children. who left dead flies and
crumbs of bread within its reach. 4 few
days ago, however, the little weaver was
missing. and Mrs. Turner began a rigid
search for it, and while thus engaged SHE
found the gold watch and chain. which
were subsequently identified is the prop
