KIT CARsON's GRAVE Taos, N.

OF Taos. He had not seen his family.
which he loved fondly, for three years.
But he was overtaken with request
from the government to bear some yerv
important dispatches to the Pacific
coast. So he turned about and started
at once. 1t was four years more before
he returned to his family. We walked
out to the little cemetery, standing ina
most desolate spot amid the prosperous
grain fields. Kit had requested to be
buried beside his wife, and there were
the graves of the two in lot inclosed
with a wooden picket fence, painted
white and the pickets tipped with black.
The grave mounds are two low.
scrawny, gravel heaps. There are no
tombstones, no inscriptions, nothing to
tell who lies below, and it is not known
which grave is filled by Kit Carson. or
which by his wife. The famous from
tiersman was a reckless gambler he
squandered away all his money and
died penniless, but the public owes it to
his memory that his grave should be
marked and cared for.-Let-

SUBSTITUTES FOR KISSING.
rude races have strange substitutes fol
kissing. Of Mongol father, a traveller
writes, g he smelled from time to time
the head of his youngest son, a mark of
paternal tenderness usual among the
Mongols instead of embracing In
the Philippine islands, we are told.
the sense of smell is developed to so
great degree that they are able, by
smelling at the pocket handkerchiefs.
to tell to which persons they belong !;
and lovers, at parting, exchange pieces
of linen they may be wearing, and
during their separation inhale the odor
of the beloved being" Among the
Citagong-hill people, again, it is said,
" the manner of kissing is peculiar.
Instead of pressing lip to lip, they
place the nose and mouth upon the
cheek and inhale the breath strongly. y
Their form Of speech is not "Give me
a kiss, !" but "Smell me.'' In the same
way, according to another traveller,
" the Burmese do not kiss each other
in the Western fashion, but apply the
lips and nose to the cheek and make
strong inhalation" Moreover, ''the
Samoans salute by juxtaposition of
noses, accompanied not by rub but a |
hearty SMELL" There is Scriptural
precedent for such customs. When
blind Isaac was in doubt whether the
son who came to him was Jacob OF not,
&c he smelled the smell of his raiment
and blessed him.

PIN NMANUFACTURE.-The pins used
in this country are made by fourteen
factories, chiefly located in New Eng
land. Theirannual production for sew
eral years past has been about Z, 100000
pins. This number has not varied
much for some years, the demand re-
naming about the same. Two years
ago the competition among the nine
principal companies then existing for
the manufacture of toilet pins led to
such a cutting of prices that the bust
ness became improbable, and the mar
ket was flooded with goods. A year
ago a combination was formed of three
wire companies, and now all of the pins
made by them are shipped to New
York, and handled by the head agency
of that city. From their common
warehouse they are sent to every part
of the country. The importations of
English pins are small, and the expor-
tatiOn of pins from the United States
is confined to Cuba, South America,
and parts of Canada. England supplies
almost the whole world outside of the
United States, although the American
pins are not inferior in quality. The
raw material-the brass and iron wire
from which all American pins are
made-is from the wire mills of this

A CLERKS BIG STEAL.
FILLING OUT CHECKS AND ABsCoND-
ING WITH $4,000 IN SECURITIES.

NEW YORK, August Son Satur-
day morning the firm of J. G. Walcott
q Co., brokers, of AZ Broad street, in
formed the police that one of their
clerks, who had been left to close up
the business of the day previous, had
absconded with $40, 900 worth of stocks
and securities and $4,000 in checks.
The absconding clerk is A. B. Whee-
lock, an unmarried man. He was left
alone in the Office in charge Of the
books and safe. He filled out three
checks on the Continental Bank for S.
600 each and got one cashed at the bank.
On one of the others he got letter of
credit on the banking house of Brown
Brothers, London, and the other on
Drexel, Morgan & Co. The letters are
negotiable in any part of the world
where frst-class banking houses exist.
The firm has been in the habit of leav-
ing three or four signed checks in the

times be ready to transact business.
The stubs were filled out by persons
authorized to sign the checks, but the
rest of the check was left blank, to be
filled by the clerk in charge. Whee-
lock filled out these checks to suit his
pleasure, and after taking $4,000 in
securities, numbers of which have been
telegraphed throughout the country,
left for parts unknown. The police
have ascertained with certainty that
Wheelock sailed for Bremen on Satur-
day in a North German Lloyd steamer.
Under the treaty between Germany
and the United States he cannot be ex-
-radited unless the crime can be con-
Strued into forgery.

MASONRY.

Thirty centuries since, King Solomon
took two others like himself. distin-
guished for positive qualities and IA
nous among their fellows, and, by
their help, organized a Working
Brotherhood, entitled Freemasonry.
This was long before Rome long
before Greece had made a name in his
tory long before Homer sang, or the
Seven Wise Men tiourished, or Alexan-
der and Caesar flashed their swords over
the earth.
The world, which was then young.
has grown old. Nations have sprung
into being, glittered in the meridian
sky, and sunk into nothingness.
Names, thought to be immortal. are
forgotten. New arts, new languages,
new religions occupy the thoughts and
consciences of men. Everything is in
the autumn leaf, sere, dying, and the
world seems on the eve of a greater
change.
But one thing is ever new, ever
green, immortal. One institution of
men has known no change. AS much
as the genius of history has dropped
and abandoned in her progress, the Ie-
gends of Freemasonry remain to us IN
forgotten and of primitive import.
Freemasonry--the Missionary of Solomon
and the two Hirams has suffered moth
ing from mutation. 1t can suffer
nothing so long as sorrow and distress
remain upon earth-so long as the soul
sighs for happier sphere-so long as
human hearts are contrite for sin. the
institution will be sought after, as the
eye seeks light and the ear music

THE WHITE HOUSE.
A MANSION THAT HAS QUITE A
HISTORY.

HISTORY.
The President s home at Washington,
which is officially termed the Executive
Mansion, commonly called the White
House, has history that runs back
nearly ninety years. It's corner stone
was laid under the superintendent of
Captain James Hobon, as architect, on
the 18th of December, 1892. Captain
Hobon was an Irish architect, direct
from Dublin, via Charleston, who took
the award of $500 for the design. He
is buried in the Catholic cemetery at
Washington and his descendants are
still living in that city. The British
destroyed the building in 1914. 1t was
afterwards rebuilt by Captain HobOn,
and was first opened for the reception
of visitors on January /, 1819 The
porticO, of four lofty columns on the
north side, was added in 1929, during
the administration of President Jack
son. 1t is lofty building, two stories
in height, having a frontage of 40 feet
and depth of so feet. The vestibule
within the front door is 50x40 feet in
dimensions. The famous east room,
which was finished only fifty years ago,
is so feet long by 40 wide and % feet |
high. Eight large mirrors and three
chandeliers of crystal and silver adorn
it, The walls are covered with gray |
paper, and the trimming of the furni- |
ture is gray reps and maroon velvet.
With the exception of our public halls,
it is probably the largest room in the
country, and for its size is certainly the
handsomest 1t is the Mecca of all
lady visitors to the capital. The Pres
ident's office, which is in the second
story, is also the Cabinet room, and is
not very large apartment for the
White House, although about thirty
five or forty feet in depth, by perhaps
thirty feet wide, and with a high cell
ing. A long table is in the middle of
the floor, with leather-seated chairs
around it; the two windows having
long lambrequin curtains of a dark
blush gray color. A large map of the
United States is on the wall. The
carpet is of red tint, with large fig
ures. The general effect of the room

out books. The White House is sur
rounded Immediately by twenty acres
of garden and park. The lawn is still
a naked plain reaching on to the Poto-
mac, like a desert coming to the palace
stairs. Like Versailles in the time of
Louis XIV, Washington is a govern
ment creation, and the White House is
only for the people who
have lived in it. Every one of our
Presidents, except Washington, has
lived in this great house, and he had
pOked his horses head into its portals
to look at the workmen plastering on
The scaffold. The original cost of the
building in 1892 was about $685.. 900,
and the total cost of the structure to
.he present time, with refurnishing.
ETC., has been about S1,750,OOO The
character of Washington

ocality in particular, has been for L
ears a subject of complaint. L

The first glass factory IN America was
erected in 1909 near Jamestown, Va,
and the second ollowed the same
colony twelve ye.rs later. la 1889 some
acres Of ground were granted to glass
men in Salem Mass, probably the first
years OF the industry which was prose-
cuted there for m lny years. The first
glass factory in Penn ylvania was built
near Philadelphia in 1853. under the
direction OF William Penn, but it did
not prove succe.s!u The ii s glass
factory west of The Allcghenies was set
up ny Albert Galat and his associates
in l755, at New Geneva, on the Monon-
gahela river. A small factory was
established on the Ohio river, near
Pittsburg. in 1890, and another in 1895.
The earlier attempt failed, he later
was quite successful. In 1910 there were
twenty-five glass factories in the coun-
try. with an annual product valued at
SI,C47 eco There are now about five
times as many factories, producing
eight times as much glass. According
