PUZZLES THE MASONS
EAn Old Masonic jug which IL PerpiexinE
the Craft,

IAN Old Masonic jug which IL Perplexing
r the Gran.
A very old masonic jug has just come
into the possession of an English gentle
man. which is said to have been brought
into the country over 100 years ago, ays
the Brooklyn Eagle. IL stands IL inches
high, and measures five and one-half
inches across the inoph and eight and
one-haif inches in bulge. X bears out its
age when we examine the texture and
finish of the crockery, and its battered
and cracked, Clipped and stained appear
ance, together with the fact that every de-
sign on II has been engraved (and beauti-
fully done, tool C us 10 conclude that
il was a costly when first
bought. although il has lost the freshness
OF its early days. In front, under the lip,
inside a circular wreath of leaves are
1.-TWO pillars" standing IN n "square
pavement. "rhese pillars are about two
and a half inches apart; and across the
pavement il written "Holiness TO the
Lord" A ladder with IA steps leans dag
onally from n pillar to the other. leav-
ing the base of the right hand pillar to
the top OF the pillar oil the left. Around
through the circle are distributed the
working tools of the +. A., the three

moon and stars, and surrounding all the

angle) incIoscd. On the right
hand side Of the jug, inside a peculiar
and beautiful wreath, in which are inter
mingled Masonic emblems, are again the
two pillars and pavement, with a com
pass extended, the points resting on n
semi-circular graded disk of 80 deg, be-
meath which are the emblcms of mortal
ity, the V. ). L., all of which are sur
mounted by the ''eye' and seven stars,
inclosed in a scroll which hears Inc in
scription, ''deum time 1T regem honora."
On the left side of the jug is IA mos elab-
crate design, inside a mia wreath to
that on the right. Here again the pillars
n pavements appear as a centerpiece.
On the outside of each pillar stands the
figure OF a nan on n cube, in clothing
such as n sees on men in Ben Johnson's
time; both have aprons on, and n bears
a w. NJ. jewel. Round their feet
lars and a beehive and seven bees,
and beneath these The inscription 'sit lux
ct lux fruit" Between the pillars are
three little castles, and above them an
arm holding a trowel, Immediately above
which is a scroll on which is engraved
'amor honor ct justitia,'' and resting on
thiss scroll is the figure of a man sitting in
front of a sun dial pointing MI. Above
his head is the y II three stars, and
outside the wreath is the inscription in
large letters "a heart that c~onceals, and
the tongue that never ~veals oun
the top and bottom of the jug are scrolls
of designs, and the whole engraving is rs
distinct as the day it was first put on. II
any brother can throw any light on tho
early history or probable age of this jug

I've been in the medical profession, but
the %littlest game | ever saw occurred the
other day."
So spoke one of our young doctors en-
gagged in a large dispensary connected
with one of the medical schools in the
city. The doctor continued: "Much of
our work Is thankless enough. We ex-
p~ericnce the greatest difficulty in getting
patients to take medicine as they are Iii

'They seem almos, 10 have an idea

lis relief. The case III question was that
of an Italian. lie came rushing in with "a
child about a year old in his arms. AnN-
icty was depicted on his countcnnuco.
The little thing had great difficulty in
breathing, but retained breath enough To
make Rome howl. Calming the father
somewhat, we managed To learn that the
child had swallowed "A quarter of "A dollar,
which had stuck in its throat. lie asked
us II We could get IL out. We promised to
do our best, and, as n clinic was in SEES
sion, took the child and the father into
the pit Of the amphithcater, so that the
operation might DE performed before the
students.
1.-THE professor began worl, At oncc for
he saw that the child was in "A fair way To
s~ufrocation. They use for these opera
lions an instrument called a coin catcher
which is made like a crochet needle, only
the material Is rubber, and the hook on
the end of the instrument il longer tina
that of n crochet needle. The instrument
is to be passed down the throat past the
coin and when withdrawn the hook
catches under the coin and II is pulled

the child will kick aud squirm. and il is
not without danger to the surrounding

his efforts for "A time proved unsIccess-
full, the anxiety ON the face OF the father
became ~intense He fldgcted andsecmed
To think that all was lost. At length the
coin was extricated n the boys stamped
their applause. The professor laid the
coin down ON the table While he washed
his hands. This was the Italians chance.
and while the professors back was turned
he quickly transferred the quarter tn his
pocket. The look of distress vanished
from his countenance.
at became manifest that the loss of his
coin had contcnded with the danger OF
losing his child To produce his anxiety, and
that Is why | say il was the mcanest thing

there. Every day the exhibition remained
open one or more OF the ladies who have
done such good service on the committee
have been present in a similar capacity.
In the preface to the catalogue which
the committee published the Countess Of
Latham dwelt on 1.-The inexorable viii of
fashion" and deplored that 'it had set
its seal on French fabrics"
The critics who examined the silk
fabrics displayed at Lady Egerto1's felt
bound to acknowledge that the English
made goods, for beauty of design and
excellence of material, held their own,
not only for furniture, but in the more
dainty kinds or silks The question is
not one without interest 70 the American
public. for 1 am able to state, on the au-
thority Of one OF the leading manufac-
turers, that vast quantity Of British
silk IS nov bought there.
With regard TO England it Is, indeed,
a most important question. In 1923 the
SILK weaving center of Spitalfelds pos
sessed $4,000 looms and found employ
ment for 62,C00 workpeople; now there
are not more than GOO looms working
and 100 workpeOple employed, and
great distress and poverty exist in this
district in consequence, and If care Is
not taken the weayers' art VIII die for
mere want Of encouragement.
Among the most interesting of the OK
hibits at ST. Jamess square IS a loom
making brocaded dress silk under the
charge Of George Clarke, the head wsav-
er. who won the first prize in 1888 given
by the Worshipful Weavers' company.

AN aNreLOPE's MIGHTY LEAPS.
Typical Yarn of the Champion Liar of
tho Mining Region.


In one of the old mining towns of this
part of California, away up on the slope
of the Sierra NevadaS, there lived sew
eral years ago, during the active work
ing Of the hydraulic mines, q celebrated
character whose mod1sty, as he still
lives IL the land of the living, forbids
my giving his name. His justly cele-
brated fame arose from his remarkable
power of narration. He could take any
trivial occurrence that happened ii town,
dress it up in such glowing colors and
throw so many vivid sidelghts upon It
that not even the participants them
selves could recognize 1T. Or. u. un-
doubtedly wore for years the belt as
champion liar of that mining region, and
one Of his stories, that l happened TO
hear him relate, think is worth pre-
serving. I will let him tell it ii his own
words:
1T was in the spring of 80 that a
train of sixty-fve on Us started across
the plains for Californy. The most on
Us were young men an able to rough 1t,
but we had three families, with about a
dozen young uns among us, an one baby
was born on the way. Wal, OF course,
fresh meat soon got mighty scase, as
there was so many trains on the trail
ahead on us that all the game had been
killed or scairt away. The young mother
she kept kind o pindlin like after her
kid was born and got sick o bacon an
sich like, an the young fallers that had
HOSES o. their own 10 ride, there being
ha.f dozen on 'em in our train, used TO
scour out on the plains for fre9h meat
for her.
lone day three on Us got arter a
couple O antelope early in the mornin'
when our hosses was fresh, an we jest
took after 'em, yellin' like Conanches
Jest to see 'em run. There was couple
O hills on the plain that stood seprit,
/ with about twenty rods o. ground be-
tween 'em at the fur end, aad the crit
ters made break to 60 between EN-.
/ We was comm on arter EN- like we
meant to catch EN-, when they see that
this open place between the hills had
/ grown up with tall chapparral.
/ Now an antelope won't run mp hill,
nor into thick bresh if he knows il, SO
they stopped til we got Almost up to
f 'em, an one on EN- tried to run back by
US, but one o the boys stopped him with
charge Of buclshCt. The other one,
seein' what an almighty tight place he'd
. got into, Jest made for the bresh an
tried 20 jump over IL Wsl, sirs, he
made the all fredest jump a. ever / see
