ali over the state. As preliminary to
the regular work the grand lodge held
a special session, initiating large num-

this will be one OF the most successful
sessions held, as it is estimated that full

In addition to the grand lodge the

Ancestry of the Pen.

The earliest mode of writing was
on bricks, tiles, oyster-shells, stone,
ivory, bark, and leaves Of trees, and
from the latter the term "leaVes of a
book" is probably derived.
Copper and brass plates were very
early in use; and a bill Of feoffment
on copper was some years since dis
covered in India, bearing date 100
years before Christ,
Leather was also used as well as
wooden tablets. Then the papyrus
came into vogue, and about the eighth
century the papyrus was superseded
by parchment.
Paper, however, is of great antiQ-
uity, especially among the Chinese;
but the first paper-mill in England
was built in 1888 by German, at
hartford, in Kent. Nevertheless, it
was nearly a century and half
namely, in 1713-before Thomas
Watkins, a stationer, brought paper
making to anything like perfection.
The first approach to pen was the
stylus, a kind Of iron bodkin; but the
Romans forbade its use on account of
its frequent and even fatal use in
quarrels, and then it was made of
bone, Subsequently, reeds, pointed
and split, like pens as in the present
daV, were used.

Little Mary and the Bishop.

A good story is told Of the Bishop
Of Atlanta, Ga. He recently ad-
dressed a large number Of Sunday
school children, and wound up by
asking, in very paternal and conde-
scending way: "And now is there
a-a-n-y little boy or a-a-n-y little girl
who would like to ask me a ques-
tion?"
After a pause he repeated the ques-
tion; as there a-a-n-y little boy or
a-a-n-y little girl who would like to
ask me question:"
A little shrill voice called out:
"Please, sir, why did the angels walk
upand down Jacobs ladder when they
had wings?"
"Oh, ah, yes-I see," said the Bish-
Cd; "and now is there a-a-n-y little
boy or a-a-n-y little girl who would
like to answer Mary's question?"-

her little opinions were listened tc
with gay raillery or tender serious
ness and respect. Now, If she is at
all strenuous in advocating or per.
sistent in introducing these same
themes to which she has given mature
thought, her conversation becomes
wearlsome. She must avoid hobbies,

they run counter to fixed opinions.

fully cultivate a certain brightness OF
appearance which results from being
genuinely interested in the great
world and all its happenings Read
ing will do much for one, but reading
alone Is not sufficient. Interchange of
thought, the ready expression Of
opinion, a certain favor Of keeping
in touch with all bright and pleasant
things, will serve the older maiden in
good stead when the little day Of
youth goes by, There is no assump,
ton in this. Her happiness comes
from the cultivation Of this spirit,
and happy woman is sure to have
friends. Cheerfulness wins its way
anywhere. A cultivated and avowed
talent almost invariably wins place
in society for its possessor, and age
has little to do with its enjoyment.
A lady who can and will render
fine musical selection on the piano,
harp, or guitar, or whose sweet voice
can and will lend its power for song
for the pleasure Of Others, finds her
self appreciated and sought after. A
pleasant story-teller, who has the
discretion to tell short stories and
adapt them with tact to her audi
ence, is a winning companion, The
grand thing to remember is this; If
you wish to be still beloved in society
and to find your invitations still
numerous, you must have something
to give in return for social favors.
Some people have good looks, an hon
ored name, long purse, a talent for
being agreeable, or distinguished
grandfather; but tact and kindness
are fair rivals for the distinguished
grandfather, and often win in the race
for social popularity.

low citizens, and 1t was generally felt
that he was destined in the future to
be man Of great prominence. Neal
Dow was especially interested at this
time in the advocacy by James Ap-
pleton of legislative measures prohib-
iting the making or sale of intoXi-
cants in Maine. In 1887 Mr. Apple
ton had presented a report to the
Legislature in favor of these prohibit
tive measures and the cause was
warmly embraced by Neal Dow.
Though he toiled laboriously to have
Mr.. Appleton's resolution embodied
in a law, yet his efforts were for a
long time without avail, and it was
in 1851 that he finally was successful.
On the breaking out of the war Mr..
Dow felt it his duty to go to the
'front.' and December 81, 1861, he
was appointed Colonel Of the Thir-
teenth Maine Volunteers, and with
his regiment he joined Gen. Buffers
expedition to New Orleans. Here he
served with great bravery and proved
military leader of ability and skill.
He was always a great friend Of Gen.
Butler and upon the latter's death a
short time ago he delivered an elo-
quent address in praise Of the great
leader. April %, 1862, COL Dow was
appointed Brigadier General Of Vol
unteers and placed in command of the
forts at the mouth of the Mississippi
and afterward of the whole district
of Florida. The next year in the at
tack on Fort Hudson he was wounded
twice and while lying in house near
by was taken prisoner. Eight months
of Imprisonment at Libby Prison and
Mobile followed, during which he
suffered greatly. He was then ex-
changed, and November 30, 1864, he
resigned. Gen BOWS military career
was brave and gallant and such as to
give him national reputation. He
has always been proud Of it and only
last year he delivered a stirring and
patriotic address before the veterans
OF the regiment which he led to the
field.
The passage of ohe restrictive liq-
uor bill in Maine has not been the only
work which Gen. Dow has done in
this direction. In 1851 '66 and IA,
he went to England at the invitation
of the United Kingdom Temper
ance Alliance, and in all the large
cities delivered addresses before en-
thusiastic audiences. AS the years
have passed on his zeal in this chosen
field has increased and become even
more ardent. BY speeches and news
paper articles he has endeavored to
win popular approval of prohibitive
legislation, and all over this country
and Canada, as well as in England,
has his voice Teen heard in advocacy
of his favorite measure.
In 1880 Gen. Dow was candidate
for President of the United States on
the ticket of the Prohibitionists and
received 10, 305 votes. He is man
whose influence has been and is wide.

A Detestable Character.

The slanderer has ever been re-
garded as a most detestable char
acter; and the person who commits
the iniquity must expect the severest
retaliation. Few would err in this
respect, if they would but consider
that they provoke the same conduct
in others which they exhibit them
selves. We are none Of us immacu-
late; and the most irreproachable
cannot afford to fling stone at
neighbor. Indulgence in scandal of
any kind is a disgraceful occupation
of time, and tends in no small de-
gree to vitiate the heart and weaken
the understanding. tits the pastime
Of the idle and the corrupt, and no
virtuous man or woman will stoop
to the indignity. Based on false
hood, calumny and envy, it exposes
those who pursue it to similar treat
ment at the hands-or, we should
say, when abiding to the ladies,
mouths-of those whom they have
detracted, and by and by it is con-
test between the parties who shall
be the cleverest and most racy in
ventor and unblushing detractor.

Improving the Opportunity.

The woman of forty who clings to
the airs and graces which made her
charming at twenty, and still expects
society to take an active part in
amusing her, makes a sal mistake.
Society is gay, delightful-to many,
even fascination; but it is eminently
selfish. 1t cares only for the man or
woman who has something to give it.
The maiden OF eighteen charms by
her beauty and freshness; when these
pleasant gifts have faded, if she be
wise she offers something else in their
place, or something more enduring
and enchanting than mere surface
graces. Forty is not twenty, says
Bazaar, neither ought it to wish to be.
At forty, a woman's sources of enjoy
ment should be double what they
were at twenty. At twenty, she is
selfish; at forty, she should have
learned some lessons Of self-sacriflce
and their rewards, and these lessons
should make her-indeed, they can
not fail to make her-a more agreea-
BILE friend, a more valuable compan-
ion. But in the uncertain period, a
woman too otter falls victim to GER
tain other temptations. She is

whose husband divorced her, that
he might marry another woman,
$4,000 damages. The verdict is di-
rected not against the Grant hus-
band but the woman who succeeded
to the first wife's place, and the cause
is given as alienation of the husbands
affections. If this verdict stands in
law ladies marrying divorced men
will be obliged to do so subject to the
claims of a sort of chattel mortgage
held by the first wife. All of which
will complicate matters considerably,
