Eli Perkins on Women Masons

Eli Perkins is a Royal Arch Mason,
and at q Masonic celebration in Wass~
ington he undertook to answer the
question, why Women Cannot be Eree
Masons.
Women sometimes complain that
they are not permitted to enter the
lodge and work with che craft in Their
labors, and learn all there is to be
learned in the institution. / will OF.
plain the reason / learn 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 cali
ed it Paradise No. J.. daughter. lie
then called all the beasts OF the iield
and fowls q the air to pass before
Adam, for him to name them, Wnlcn
vas a piece of work he had to do aiono
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 ne.
beforehand. Adam being fatlgueo
with his first task fell asleep, and when
he awoke found Eve in the lodge WIN
him. Adam, being senior warden,
placed Eve as the pillar of beauty 10
the south, and they received their IN
structions from the Grand Master u
the east, and when finished, she imme-
diately called the craft from labor 70
reireshment. Instead OF attending "
the duties Of her Office as she ougn.,
she left her station, violated the opn-
CATION, and let in an expelled Mason,
who had no business there, and Wene
around with him, leaving Adam "
look after the jewels. This fellow nau
been expelled from the grand looge'
with several Others, some time before.
Finding that Eve was no Longer
trustworthy, and that she had caus,
ed Adam to neglect his duty, n nau
let one in whom he had ex-
PEELED, the Grand Master closed ths
lodge and turned them out, setting .

his folly and went to work like O man

Romantic Stories From the Sea.

Cape May Letter.
The sea breeze has quite a romantic
song to sing this week. A few days
ago there arrived at the New Colombia
a pleasant-faced young man, who reg
istered as Joseph B. Logan, Minneso-
ia. The day following another entry
was made in the same book: G. G. Lo-
gan, Baltimore. AS chance had it the
two gentlemen bearing the same name
were placed at one table in the dining
room, and the other guests OF the
house as they passed through were at
tracted by a curious resemblance be-
tween the two apparent strangers as
they sat side by side. Gradually the
objects of the oft-repeated chances be-
gan to gaze at one another. each con-
sidering the other the cause of the GU
riosity. When they left thetable they
both went directly to the office and
with one accord reached for the regis
ter book. At this %juncture Mr.. Foss,
the clerk, simplifed matters by intro
ducing them. An eager volley ofques-
tions followed, and suddenly there was
a c~lasping of hands and a simultane-
Gus exclamation of "brotherl" and
arm-in-arm the two walked quickly
into an adjoining parlor. The story
was soon told. At the ages Of eight
and ten respectively, their parents
having died, the two brothers were
put under the guardianship of an I'M
Gle, but for various reasons they both
became disconnected, and the elder ran
away, since which time nothing had
been heard ofhim. Thetw men seem,
ed positively overjoyed at the strange
meeting, and were objects of universal
comment the whole evening as they
walked the porches arm-in-arm, ea-
| gerly conversing.

Fashion in Hair and Whiskers.

Chicago Journal.
81 learned my trade forty years ago
in Boston," said a leading barber to
me, as he trimmed my hair "and it is
surprising how long q fashion In hair
or whiskers will last. Ten years is
about as long as a fashion in oao
can live, but in my business a style of
hair or whiskers will last two or three
times as long. Take mustaches, for
instance. They came in about twenty
five years ago. can remember very
well when a mustache a regarded
as the badge OF a fop, an idiot, or a
gambler. IL was as much as q mans
reputation was worth to let the hair
grow on his upperl lip. But now every
body wear them, and / am afraid !
will not live long enough to see them
go out. Anything to beat the bar
bers, you see. On the other hand
there is short hair. About the time
mustaches came in long hair went out.
In those days everybody wore long
hair, and what is more, they curled il.
Yes, sir, | used to keep my curling
Irous always around, and it was lust
as common with men as it is with
women to have their hair curled.
The fashion of clipping the hair short
except on the top of the head, called
the Pompadour, is only about ten
years old, though the clippers were
invented three years earlier. The
scheme OF brushing hair by steam
started about twenty-five years ago,
and was given up about ten years ago,
on account of the numerous accident.
