The theory of swimming is very sim

The Modern Origin of Free Masonry

1t has been indisputably proved that
the institution of the order of Free
Masons, which, under the name of the
FRATERNITY of Masons," was formed
by the architect and workmen employ
ed from the thirteenth TO the fourteenth
century in the building of Strasburg
Cathedral. The flower and pick of the
profession were engaged upon this
mastery edifice, and they were natural
ly desirous of perpetuating the secret of
such good work. just the Comedie
Franchise preserve the traditions of the
art of perfect acting. Their examrle
was followed by other groups of Masons
throughout Germany. and all these diff
ferent lodges We're. some twenty years
after the completion of the tower OF
Strasburg. merged into one association.
Their Act of Uniformity was drawn up
in 1859, and ratified by the Emperor
Macmillan thirty years later by an inn
perial diploma. They adopted the
instrument of the craft-the SO are,
level and compass-as their embieins,
and lad the secret password, 'sliberty,"
which, in itself. gives q clue to the
Interior aims of the society. The Fra

a Typical New Mexican.

Top boots. trousers, a blue flannel
shirt and a loose coat were ordinary
enough, but his head was surmounted
with gray sombrero that in width of
brim has never been equalled save by
the pretty chorus singers of s.Pinafore'
and the Pirates The hat sat back
on his head until the brim covered his
shoulders and the cord and ornaments
of the crown, being of solid gold wire
and spangies, brings the value of this
extravagant head gear up to one hum
dred and fifty dollars. Neither Aimee
and Georgette, Virot or the other con-
coctors of French bonnets ever sent out
spring bonnet that equalled this SOM
brero in price. He wore a carelessly-
knotted necktie and row of big gold
nuggets for shirt studs, and below them
swung a watch chain composed of gold
coins ranging from the largest slugs
and twenty dollar pieces down to an liz
significant two dollar and half coin.
The watch at the end of the chain is
heavy-enough to use for weapon, with
its massive cases of gold. This walk
ing gold mine carries off all his mag
nificence with the most Indifferent and
half contemptuous air. On occasion
he is said to be capable of even more
soFSeouSnesSi ana When TINS snow ng-
ure of Santa Fe is mounted on a little
black horse, rafting with all the silver
and blazing with all the wrought col
ors of Mexican trappings, it is enough
to dazzle one. With huge silver spurs,
an embroidered buckskin suit, belt
full of silver-mounted weapons and
fringed and embroidered blanket
strapped to the saddle. he clatters
through these narrow streets quite as
the wild western heroes did in novels.

The Toilet,

Cleanliness is health and health is
beauty. Cold water refreshes and in
yigorates, but does not cleanse. For
cleansing purposes the daily bath should
be from 90 to SO degrees; and the
sponge used with cold water to sponge
off the body after the additions have
been made with soap and warm water
Two or three minutes is long enough
for the bath.
The teeth and nails and hair must
be scrupulously cared for; brushed
night and morning; and the hairbrueh
thoroughly cleansed with hot water and
soda.
Custom has a great deal to do with
our prejudices. Gentlemen now wear
the hair cut quite close to the head;
not 50 short as to suggest an escaped
convict; nor is it left long enough to
remind one of dancing-masters, eccen-
trio authors and artists.
A great writer has said that the artist
and the man of letters needs only a
black suit and the absence of all pre-
tension to place him on the level of the
best society. This is quite true, mas
much as soleeisms in dress are forgiven
in those who have done anything which
places them above the ordinary level OF
mankind.

Garfield to His Classmates,

The brief speech addressed by Cen
eral Garfield to his college classmates
on the eve of his inauguration takes
upon itself, under the shadow of this
day, something sad and almost fateful
in tone. 1t is only just to the class
mates of the dead President TO say that
no acc unit of their meetings was ever
made public until long after the crime
of July 2 The meeting was held at
Wormley's on March 3, and the Presi-
dent made this address to his friends
after dinner:

union. In. every eye before me l see

Thursdays proceedings in the police
court, says the San Francisco Cha'Onicle,
were enlivened by an intellectual con-
test between n witness, who claimed &c
be deaf. and one of the most expert
enced legal lanterns that aid the Court
in its search for justice.
"You are deaf, are you?" shouted
the attorney.

attorney, casting his well-known '-see-

ing attorney.

'tCan you hear a watch tickp' asked
the lawyer, in a lower tone of voice.
81 can, when hold it close to my
ear" came the answer.
Thereupon the legal gentleman took
a ponderous six-ounce silver time
engine from his fob. and, handing it 10
the witness, directed him to hold it to
his ear.

question, in tone little louder than
the ordinary.

witness.

The lawyer was about to return his

opened it to note the time, when he

1t is apparent that the Boston world s
fair project is dying a natural death;
indeed, it is doubtful if even the fee
blest breath of life yet fingers in it.
The trouble with the matter there and
in New York has been that popular en-
thusiasm has not once been stirred, and
popular enthusiasm is absolutely essen
tial to overcome the inertia of sSch a
gigantic scheme. As the year 1876 APP
preached, patriotic imagination and
feeling and national pride were SO
stimulated that the vast machinery of
an international exhibition was set in
motion with comparative ease; but no
such stimulus is felt to-day. To tell
the truth, the people are almost stated
with anniversaries. and in the rush of
material prosperity few men have time
or inclination to embark in an under
taking which must be sublime in order
not to be ridiculous.
