Astronomical methods for determining n

Or fel. the breath Of some one standing by.
Bat vain in shadow and half gloouis the search
For shape or vision: yelled to outward eye,

The gracious Presence came. Of enc know.

With far set gaze. within my carven stall.

The dear old fashion that know so well,
Pulling with 1ender trust, shy, pure and wa-rn.
Thus, best beloved, love is all In all,
And love ths silver music Of thy soul:

Episode in Natural History.

A rather curious episode in natural history
occurred the other day on board the French
steamer ADD Ell Kader during the passage
from Marseilles to Algiers- Just as the YES
sci was about two hours out tue sky became
quite black with swallows. 1t was then
about 6 o'clock in the evening. The birds
alighted on the vessel in thousands, on the
sails, ropes and yards Of the Add Ell Kader.
After perky survey Of the deck from their
eminences aloft they descended .Soolly On
deck, hoped about among the sailors and
passengers. and eventually found their way
into the cabins both fore and aft. The birds
were evidently fatigued after long fight,
and allowed themselves TO be caught by th.
people of the ship, who gave them welcome
reception and provided them with food,
which thev enjoyed heartily. The little
winged strangers remained all night on the
vessel. and in the morning at O'Clock the
head lookou. bird no doubt cited the Balearic
Isles, for the whole flock made for land, after
having spent comfortable and refreshing
night on board ship.-Boston Transcript

HrxRY pgIcE AND MONUMENT.

HENRY PRICE AND MONUMENT
The monument is of hammered granite It
is plain and simple of design. The base is
4 feet square by l foot inches high. and
from this the shaft rises, a cube 3 feet 6
inches each way. On the shaft is Inscribed:
HENRY PRICE,
Founder of
Duly Constituted Masonry
In America.
On the back is another inscription taken
from the stone which has been SO long over
the original grave:
Born in London about 1857; removed to Boston
about 1923; appointed provincial grand master of
New England in 1873, and in the same year q
cornet in The Governors Guards with the rank Of
major; removed to Townsend about 1868, and
died there May %, 1880. His life was consistent
with his duty as @ Mason and man.
The structure was dedicated in accordance
with the ritual prescribed.
The founder Of Masonry in America came
over to New England about 1723. He was a
tailor by occupation, out IN 1858 Governor
Belcher appointed him cornet OF his troop Of
guards with the rank of major. His duties
were to bear the standard. In 100 he retired
from the tailoring business quite well off in
worldly goods.
1t was in 1888 that Price produced a COM
mission from Viscornt Montague, grand
master of England, and formed a provincial
grand lodge. A number of men were con-
vened at the sign of the Bunch of Grapes"
in King street, namely: Andrew Belcher,
Thomas Kennedy, John Duane, Henry Hope,
Frederick Hamilton, john McNeall, Peter
Hall, Matthew Young, John Waddell and
Edward Ellis.
Price was grand master, Belcher deputy
grand master and Kennedy and Duane
others newly made petitioned to be made a
regular lodge. The prayer was granted, and
the petitioners were constituted the first regu-
lar lodge in America.
This petition is preserved among the
archives of the grand lodge of Massachusetts,.
The original commission to Henry Price is
not now in existence, but there is plenty of
evidence that he was so commissioned, and
the grand lodge of Massachusetts, is recog-
nized as the oldest Masonic body in America.
AFTER the institution of this lodge Masonry
became popular in Massachusetts. Governor
Belcher had been made Mason in 1704 in
England and gave the newly instituted lodge
every encouragement. His son, Andrew
Belcher, was appointed the first deputy grand
master. In 1874 the commission given to
Price was extended to all North America.
Benjamin Franklin the same year visited
Boston and secured authority from Price tc
establish a lodge in Philadelphia, which was
soon after constituted Franklin was much
interested in Masonry. He was tho first
grand master of Pennsylvania and showed
great devotion to the fraternity.
From the grand lodge established by
Price in Boston sprang lodges in Pennsyl
vania. New Hampshire. Nova Scotia, Con
uecticut, Virginia and the West Indies
Price held his position for three years, wher
he resigned.

This Fact Has Led to the Erection at
Townsend. Mass, of a Monument to the
Memory of MI. Henry Price-His Per-
sonal History.
A monument has recently been dedicated
ct Townsend, Mass, to Henry Price, the
founder of Masonry in the United States.
For more than century the place of his
burial was marked by a small slate stone,
which has almost crumbled to pieces. Some
years ago the grand lodge, learning Of the
condition Of affairs, appropriated $500 for
the erection of monument, but only lately
the memorial stone has been placed in the
new cemetery in Townsend, and the remains
removed and placed beneath it.
