A question that has long been of inter-
est is how much beer makes pint. If
it is sold fresh and foaming, then the
measure is filed with foam. If. on the
other hand, the vessel is filled with the
liquid, then the liquid itself is fat. stale
and Improbable. In this perplexity
brilliant thought has occurred to a num-
Der of liquor dealers. They are forming
associations in which the members pledge
themselves hereafter to sell beer by
weight. They fix the price at FIVE cents
a pound, probably in accordance with
the old saw, "A pint's pound the world
around"

"KEEPINo coMPANY."
A Singular Custom which Is as Indelleats
as 1t IL Dangerous.


as 1t Ia Dangerous.
A singular custom prevails in some
of the rural parts OF Pennsylvania and
the other Middle States which will
surprise such OF our readers as are
used only to the habits of city life. On
Sunday evenings the parlor is aban-
doned by all of the family except the
youLg girls, who. arrayed in all their
finery, sit there prepared to keep
company" with the young men who are
supposed to be their lovers, or to
whom they are engaged. No older
person is expected to enter the room;
the seance lasts until midnight On
other days OF the week the engaged
couple meet openly in the kitchen or
elsewhere, and carry on their re-
searchesiDto each others character in
the presence of the whole family.
In some villages of Northern New
England it is common for young girls
to entertain their male visitors alone
until late at night, hong after the rest
Of the family are asleep.
The Companion would not deserve
its name. SO far as the mGltitudes OF
young girls are concerned to whom 1t
has been friend since their childhood,
If it failed faithfully to warn them
against any gross solecism in good
manners, or of any habit which may
lead them into contemptor temptation
In city life, among well-bred people
whose aim it is to make young girls
life not only pure in reality, but in its
outward appearance, such customs as
these which we have described are
vigorously condemned and avoided.
A girl belonging to this class receives
her male friends at night only in the
presence of her mother or some other
matron.
1t is probable that the young girls in
the country who practice these habits
are at heart quito as innocent as their
more protected sisters. Their error
arises from ignorance, not viciousness.
These customs have descended to them
from the early pioneer days, when men
were too busy at the plow in daytime
and women in the kitchen to become
acquainted with each other, prepare
tory to marriage. They had to sit uE
while others slept to find time for
eourtship. Their descendants are
surely not so taxed for time as to make
this necessary.
American mothers sometimes de-
fend the laxity among our young peo-
pie by the plea that the innocence of
the American girl is her protection,
and that she is too pure to need the
guardianship of chaperones. To an
extent this is true; but no girl can
place herselfin the anomalous positions
which we have described without los
ing in degree that delicacy OF wo-
manly feeling which should accompany
her as the aroma does flower.
Besides, however good and true she
may be. she places her reputation at
the mercy Of the tongue of a man who,
1t is possible, may be both sensual and
and merciless. No girl of refinement
and no thoughtful mother should coun-
tenance n custom so indelicate and
dangerous. Youths Companion.

Morris Park Races.

NEW YORK, August 20.-"Morris park" as
it will be commonly called in contradistinc-
ton with Jerome and Monmouth park race
tracks, was regularly opened as race
course to-day. 1t Is the property Of John
Norris who has associated with him in its
management the New York Jockey club.
The grounds and track are located in West
chester county, on the Harlem branch of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad,
and partly within the city limits. The new
course has the finest buildings and arrange.
ments of any IN the world. An idea OF it's
completeness may be gained from the fact
that its trackage cost $3.50 600. It's grand
stand is the largest and most complete Of
any in the world. and all its appurtenances
are the results of modern improvements. The
track has both elliptical and straight away
tracks, and it is believed it will be, when
properly settled and conditioned, the fastest
in America. Summary:
Five-eighths of mile-Geraldine won in
LOO, which beats the record made by Sam
Harper at jerome Park by quarter of

latter record has never been considered au-

The Omaha aud Des Moines teams met at
association park yesterday afternoon, and
the collision was resultant in very tame
and one-sidcd game OF ball.
The day was perfect for playing, but not
withstanding this fact, the attendance was
lighter than straw hat.
The Prohibtionists were licked before
they went into the fight, and they played
with about as much vim and animation as
would have been manifested by so many
cigar signs.
What the Des Moines players are most in
terested in just now is pay day, and II they
were paid according to their ability as ball
players, they would draw about dollar
day, and found.
The White Sox toyed with them as cat
toys with q mouse. They were too easy,
and the boys Just lo8fed through the game.
The only notable feature was Jasper Crooks
home run hit. 1t was gorgeous smash, and
sent the sphere bang up against Jef w. Bed
ford's Hit Me for Fifty Dollars" sign, way
out against center field fence.
This exploit evoked wild, uncauny whoop
from an isolated mortal or two dotJing the
bleaching boards; then again supreme
quetude reigned, and on and on to the end
of the dreary struggle.
As pointer to the Des Mones team it
might be mentioned that corn cutting time
is drawing apace. To be sure they don't
have to hire out IL they don't want to, but
they ought to cease pretending to play bali.
Captain Macullar says, however, that they
will beat our lambs this afternoon, with
Billy Hart in the box.
Captain Macullar is laborng under an
hallucination of the brain.

THE MASONIC MIDDLE.
VIM. n. Peokham's Reason For Lea,
ing the scottish rite Con siatorY.


ing the Scottish Rite onsistory.
NEw YoRK, August 20-To-day William
II. Peckham, past grand commander, and
n thirty-third degree Mason, who for fifty
years has been an active member of tho Ma
sonic order, in letter addressed to tho Ma
sonic fraternity throughout the world gives
his reasons for severing his connection with
the Scottish Right Masons and Cerneau Con-
sistory No 10, OF this city. His reasons for
30 doing are because the Grand Orient OF
France, founded In t725, did in 1878
eliminate the name of God from
the constitution ana ritual, thereby
compelling every symbolic grand lodge
throughout the world TO deuounce the act
and sever all relations of amity aud corros-
pondence herewith. And yet,n he says,
"in spite of this well known fact, Brother H.
j. 5. Gorgas, present grand commander of
the ancien' and accepted Scottish Right, thirty
third and last degree of Free Masonry.
during visit 10 Paris In lSSS did visit and
meet with a Council Of the Order" and APP
point representative thereto as a guarantee
of amity on behalf of the body over
which he presides" In conclu-
sion Mr.. Peckham says the members
of u council of this orderi are members OF,
and owe allegiance TO the Grand Orient, and
consequently are under the ban of non
Masonic intercourse, and no true symbolic
Mason can ignore the edict of his lrand
lodge, which interdrts his doings.
