jority of cases the goose -necks from which
the watering carts draw their supplies along
the streets of the city, are nuissnces. Most
of them leak badly, and their vicinity is that
of dissgreesble mud-hole, with feeble
drain leading off along the nearest down
grade and cutting off approach to the side
walk from the street for block. This prIm-
tive sort of hydrant has its leaky qualities
added to by the csrelessness of the cart
drivers. Scarcely any of these men shut off
the water in time for the pipe to empty itself
completely before it is removed from the cart

ELI PERKINS ON WOMAN MAsoNs.

Eli Perkins is Royal Arch Mason,
and at Masonic celebration in Wash
ington he undertook to answer the
question, "Why women cannot be Free
Masons ?" Women sometimes complain
that they are not permitted to enter the
lodge and work with the craft in their
labors, and learn all there is to learned
in this institution. will explain the
reason. Ilearn that before the Almighty
had finished His work He was in doubt
about creating Eve. The creation of
the living and creeping things had been
accomplished, and the almighty had
made Adam, who was the first Mason,
and created for him the finest lodge in
the world, and called it Paradise No. 1.
Laughter. He then called all the
beasts of the field and fowls of the air
to pass before Adam, for him to name
them, which was piece of work he had
to do alone, that no confusion might
thereafter arise from Eve, who he knew
would make trouble if she was allowed
to participate in it, if He created her
beforehand. Adam being fatigued with
his first task fell asleep, and when he
awoke found Eve in the lodge with him.
Adam, being senior warden, placed Eve
as the pillar of beauty in the south and
they received their instructions from
the Grand Master in the east, and when
finished she Immediately called the craft
from labor to refreshment. Instead of
attending to the duties of her office as
she ought, she left her station, violated
her obligation, and let in an expelled
Mason, who had no business there. and
went around with him, leaving Adam
to look after the jewels. This fellow
had been expelled from the grand lodge,
with several others, some time before.
Finding that Eve was no longer trust
worthy, and that she had caused Adam
to neglect his duty, and had let one in
whom he had expelled, the Grand Mas
ter closed the lodge and turned them
out, setting faithful tiler to guard the
door with a flaming sword. Adam
repented of his folly and went to work
like a man and good Mason, in order
to get reinstated again. Not so with
Eve She got angry about it, and COM
menced raising Cain, and did it again
when she got Able. Laughter. Adam
on account of his reformation, was per-
mitted to establish lodges and work in
the degrees, and while Eve was allowed
to join him in his work of charity on
the outside, she was never again permit
ted to assist in the regular work of the
craft. Hence the reason why woman
cannot become an inside Mason.
Middletown transcript., 1883-01-19

one of the Spanish cross-bowmen to
fight duel with him. The challenge
was accepted by one Juan de Salinas, a
most expert arbalister, who stepped
forth and faced the Indian. The COM
rades of Salinas offered to cover him
with their shields, but the brave sol
dier scorned to take advantage of a
naked savage. So he refused the cover,
and placing quarrel on the nut of his
drawn bow made ready to shoot. The
Indian also was ready by this time, and
both discharged their arrows at the
same moment. But Salinas was cooler
under such stress of danger than the
Indian was, and so took truer aim.
His quarrel pierced the savage war
rior's heart, and he fell dead. The
bows of the savages were puny things
when matched against the steel arba-
lists of the trained Spanish soldiers.
The Indians slender reed arrow passed
through the nape of Juan de Salinas
neck, but without seriously hurting
him. A quilted shirt of doubled silk
was sufficient protection against most
of the Indian missiles, and a man in
steel armor was proof against all.
l have seen picture of Queen Eliza
beth of England, representing her in
the act of shooting at deer with an
arbalist.
But she had strong man for her
bow-bearer, and all she had to do was
to take aim and pull the trigger after
the bow-bearer had made the arbalist
all ready for shooting.
The manner of hunting deer in those
days was to stand in spot whence you
could see in all directions through the
forest, while number of expert woods
men drove the game near to you as you
held your arbalist ready to shoot. If
you shot at running deer you would
have to aim far ahead of it in order to
hit it.
Hare or rabbit shooting was great
sport for the cross-bowmen. For this
purpose lighter arbalists were used.
The hunter kept carefully trained dogs,
somewhat like our pointers and settlers,
whose business it was to find the game.
Twenty-Five yards was about the usual
distance for shooting at rabbits. They
were rarely shot while running.-Frone
