GRAND MASTER NORRIS.
A Notable Reception rendered Him

A Notable Reception rendered Him by
Helena Masons.
One Of the largest and most enjoyable
Masonic receptions ever given in Helena
was rendered Grand Master Moses Morris,
of the Montana Jurisdiction, last evening
at Masonic Temple. The reception was
given to Mr.. Morris by the members of his
own lodge, King Solomon, and in addition
to an almost full attendance from tina
lodge. there were a large number present
from Morning Star and Helena lodge No. s.
Herman GAM, who succeeded Mr.. Morris
ns master of King Solomon lodge, presided
at the banquet and made one OF the best
talks of the evening. The banquet was a
very elaborate affair, and all the speeches
were good. They were devoted largely to
the excellent record Mr.. Morris has made
Ms a Mason and a business man, and the
work he has done both in the upbuilding
of the order and of the city and state.
Among the speakers were; G. i. Nolan, @.
Hedges, s. Langhorne, Il. Jockey, DR..
Lesser, A. J. Craven, M. Bosrdman and the
guest of the evening, MIR. Morris. The
the latter made 1t a little difficult for him
to reply as he felt, but nevertheless he made
n very neat little g. eeoh.
Grand Master Morris has n record AZ q
master of a lodge that is not probably
equalled by any other Mason in the United
States. He joined Helena lodge in August,
1865. and two years later Joined King Solo
mon, of which he ia still a member. For
fifteen years he was master of that lodge,
retaining it until his election as grand mas
tor of the Montana jurisdiction. The latter
honor was given him by the almost unani-
NOUS vote of the grand lodge at Deer
Lodge u few weeks ago.

run at an angle of ninety degrees with

The ninety degree angle is preferable,
as it causes the thrust in cases of col
ision to be received equally throughout
the ship. The beams for the different
decks are not secured to the same YER
teal cross section as in the present
mode of construction, thus distributing
the securing of deck frame to a greater
area of surface. The sections of all
decks are the same, are easily fitted, and
can be transported to the point of con-
struction ready to be used with no
waste of material in their construction.
These vessels can be cal1ed more read

is gained because the frame is dispensed

adjusted and placed together as shown

access for repairs both vertically and

struction admits of repairs being made
in any part where repairs can be made

ask those same parents what they ex.
pect their girls to do when they are
grown, and they will say: ''Oh, the
girls? They will stay at home and
probably get married by and by" They
will tell you that John is going to be a
farmer, Harry merchant and Frank a
doctor, but Mary and Anna and Kate
are merely to wait for the coming man
The girls are expected to marry for
wealth and social position. and so they
are put into fashionable training of a
kind supposed to add to their attrac-
tiveness- Their waists are pinched and
their feet are cramped; they are given a
few superficial accomplishments and
they finally become interesting Great
ures to hang dry goods on. The plan
is usually quite expensive for the father,
but the noble ~ object is worthy of
making sacrifices for. Suppose it is ac-
complished; what then? In novels,
''they live happy ever after" but alas: in
real life this is not always true.
This idea of making matrimony the
chief and only aim of womankind has
filed the world with untold evil and
been the cause of the downfall of thou
sands of women. There are always
numbers of surplus women who never
marry, and with no equipment for self
support. or breadth of education, they
either drag out aimless and colorless
lives, or if in poverty are the easy prey
of the libertine. In my girlhood knew
a family of seven girls and two boys
whose father was master mechanic.
The two sons followed their fathers
trade, but the seven girls sat idly at
home and let their hard working father
support them They could not teach
school or learn trade or study for a
profession; none of these occupations
were genteel and might ruin their
chances of securing a rich husband.
One day the father was brought home
dead and the mother and the seven
daughters were left helpless and incon-
solable. The income from the few
thousands of insurance money furnishes
a meager living, and thus they live on,
dividing their time between pet poodles
and fancy work. In other instances
which 1 have known, girls so reared
and afterward so bereft. accepted the
gilded baubles and fine clothes which a
life of shame offered them. They were
not educated to do one thing well
which might afford them self-support;
they had no resources within them
selves for making life worth living;
poverty was grinding and they grew
desperate.-Dr. Kate Lindsay, in Good
Health.

said, also, that six missionaries and
three nuns had been burned alive by
their capters, and the French COM
mandant himself of the whole region
had been slightly wounded in pursuing
the soldiers and the amazons of King
Behanzin.
! The political condition of affairs in
that part of the African continent is
often changing and furnishes the only
topic Of narrative and news about that
country, which has been described SO
often, in regard to it's natural features
and the manners of its inhabitants. In
the way of picturesque, however, the
subjoined portrait of Behanzin may Of
fer some interest to look at, inasmuch
as it is the latest obtained and sent by
a French official recently ordered to
Kotonou. Everything has been written
already about Behanzin's career, his
ferocious drplicity, his male and female
army, and his human sacrifices; all
atrociously barbarous things which
would have been incredible if the Abo-
mey despot had been educated in Paris,
as was often but incorrectly said.
King Toffa, who rules over the dis
trict of Porto Novo and is protege of
France, differs totally from his neigh
Dor and hereditary enemy, Behanzin
Hai-Djery, especially in regard to feroc-
ity. He is the type of the great mass
of negroes in Africa, indolent, of a mild
nature, and practicing some of the
habits learned from the Mussulman
Arabs, who constantly travel for trad
ing purposes through the length and
breadth of the dark continent. For in
stance, King Toffa does not keep less
than 400 women in his harem. But they
are not like the amazons of Behanzin,
and they would not have saved Toffa
from being a vassel of Dahomey if he
had not secured the protection Of the
French, whose principal settlement is
twenty miles distant from Porto Novo,
at Kotonou, or Kou-to-noum, which
means mouth of the dead river.

ARRANGING THE HAIR.
She is Wise Woman Who Has But Csc
Way of Doing This.

She is Wise Woman Who Has But Csc
Way of Doing This.
To brush and brush and still to brush
is the best medicine for the hair, re-
membering always that it is the hair
and not the scalp which is to receive
this treatment. Upon the brush used
depends great deal deal In the first
place it must be Immediately clean,
and ones brushes should be washed as
religiously as is ones face. The comb
should be coarse, so that il will olsen
tangle the hair if it is snarled, but if
the hair is well brushed the comb really
is of very little use. A fine comb is
never advised. The brush should have
long, soft bristles that go through the
hair, taking with them every particle
of dust and leaving behind them glow
that is beautiful.
Many women consider the attain
ment of some special arrangement of
the hair a desirable something that
they will retain all their lives. And
after all do not know but they are
right, We think of somebody we love;
think of her with soft sweet curls franz
ing her forehead: think OF her with
beautiful hair drawn back smoothly:
think of her with hair parted MA
donna-wise on either side her head,
and il is bit of shock when one sees
her after an bsence TO discover that she
does not look quite the same and that
somehow she seems little older. Ny
friends, it was wise woman who said:

tain fashion that was becoming 10 me

rection of greatest strain both of sea
and of vessel. The horizontal section
with plates vertical appears as follows.
As the plates are not punched to hold
frames the full strength of the outer
plate is secured excepting where the
decks are fastened to the sides of the
hull. The rolling of these plates is
easily accomplished, and the vessel can
be laid down and templets made which
will enable the rolling mill to supply
the plates just as required, both at
edges and ends. What is more, the YES
sci could be readily laid down near the
rolling mill, thereby saving the trans
portation of moulds and templets and
insuring perfect shape.
For small or medium size vessels the
plates can be placed in vertical direc-
ton, and with the intercostal keelsons
will produce a very strong structure, as
the cord or bulb at the edge Of
plate gives vertical strength, which
more than equals the angle or bar
frames used at the present time. The
deck frames are not at right angles with
