the Italian father pursues the man
with murder in his heart; seizes his

into insensibility and breaking one of

a neighbor's house and is taken in.
There he stays for weeks. That house
was turned into a hospital and the
family the attendants. That man to.

life, and that Italian is scott fee to

have been any body else passing
along the road that would have been
so nearly murdered and crippled for
life.
Now. then, we have hundreds and
thousands of just such criminals not
only from Italy, but from the other
countries of old Europe, and our
millionaires have been importing them

"The highest degree in Masonry" is

"The highest degree in Masonry" is an expression one frequently sees in the newspapers, says an exchange. It is a twin brother to that other common ex- pression, "the upper house of congress, |" when the intention is to refer to the sen ate. The fact is both are wrong. Unless 1t be the sublime and exalted degree of a Master Mason, there is no such thing as 'the highest degree" in the craft. The "Blue lodge" is masonry; the superstruc- ture is there by mere tolerance. In spec ulative or esoteric Masonry the Master Mason is as supreme as he is in his spec ial field in operative Masonry. It would be useless to show the relations which the chapter, the council, the Templars or the more recent Scottish Rites bear to Free Masonry proper, even if it were desirable to do so or space permitted. It may be sufficient for the enlightenment of those who fall into this error of statement to point out the fact that at all public insti- tutions and funerals of Masons the Blue lodge, or Master Masons, officiate. The "Grand Master of Masons" officiates at all public ceremonies within his jurisdic- tion. The so-called "higher degrees" which have attached themselves to Mas onry, and which inculcate the most sub- lime truths and are boon to mankind, never question the authority of the Grand Master. They lend eclat to public occa- sions, but then are mere escorts to the parent order.

Down on the broad, tiled hearth went the tinkling glasses, shattered into a thousand pieces. She turned to her wondering husband, and there was smile on her quivering lips:
 "So perish all the enemies of our dear home!" then she stretched out her hands to him, and the tears rolled over her cheeks. "Oh, Ed, can you ever forgive me for putting that awful stuff before you! But I didn't know, I didn't, and, oh, Pm so glad you told me! My poor, poor boy!"
 He held her close to him. "Then you don't despise me, Madge?"
 "Despise you!" came the wondering echo. "Despise you! Why? For re- sisting so nobly the terrible temptations that must be always around you; for fighting so steadfastly that awful inher- itance; for being victor over all. No, a thousand times, no!

Al Terrib1e Cholera, Tragedy.


 At Askabad. Turkestan, the cholera had almost disappeared, and the event was celebrated with much rcjcicing on the anniversary of the enpcl or's name day. The governor gave dinner, to which he invited a numerous company, and the various regiments were granted extra rations that they might rejoice on the occasion.
 The day, which began so ausplclouSly amid general rejoicing, was destined to have an ending without parallel in history.
 Of the numerous guests who attended the dinner one-half died within 24 hours. A military band of about 50 men who played during that fatal dinner lost 40 of their number with cholera, and only 10 of the men reached camp that night One regiment lost half of its men and nine officers ere the sun rose the following morning, and within AS hours l, 300 people died with cholera.
 The cause of the outbreak was clear ly traced to a small stream of water which supplied the town. Four days previously the authorities were informed shat cholera had broken out at a small Turkoman village situated on the banks of this stream about four miles above Askabad. Ehe inhabitants of this vil- lage were ordered to move their tents several miles back on the hills, which they did.
 On the day before the reappearance of the cholera at Askabad a very heavy sal. IL banks of the river and swept refuse and other matter from the abandoned village into the stream, and this matter was carried by the water into the city and distributed to all parts of the town by the numerous open canals through which the inhabitants were supplied with water. It was this contaminated water which caused the reappearance of the epidemic and the frightful mortality which followed. Sanitary Era.

Springfield Union: The New York Herald said the other day that the only hope for agriculture is the total abolition of protection. The free traders have told the farmers that free trade would be a blessing to them because everything they buy, clothing, tools, etc., would be cheap CT. They did not insist that everything they had to sell would be cheaper, too, but the farmers have found out for them selves. Take the article of hay, which is the chief New England product. The German bill reduced the duty from $4, the Mckinley rate, to $2. The result is that the Canadian farmers have been en- couraged to take possession of our mar ket for hay. Canadian hay is now offer ed in Jersey City at $12 to $l3 per ton, all duty and expense paid. This has had the effect to reduce the price which Amer ican farmers get for their hay, and the Boston Advertiser estimates that the re- duction means a loss of $1,000,000 to Massachusetts farmers alone. Perhaps the farmers will figule out how they are saving enough on their purchases to off set this loss.

 A great many ladies labor under the impression that flesh is inimical to beauty, and not few of them put themselves to great trouble-sometimes they seriously injure their health-trying to get rid of what they consider their superfluous flesh. The attention of such is called to the conclusions of a recent writer in a so- ciety magazine, who, from an historical re- view of the prominent women of ancient, mediaeval and modern times, concludes that most of the female beauties and eel ebrities of the past and present were, or are, distinguished for their portliness. Thus Agrippa, Nero's mother, was fat Cleopatra, the serpent of the Nile, was small and stout. Laura, Petrarch's muse, was fat, fair, with blond hair. The Marie Fiammetta, whom Boccacio loved, was brunette and stout. Elizabeth, the virgin Queen, was tall and plumpish, with thick, red hair. Marguerite ofNevarre was fat All Ruben's women, except his wife, were fat. All Titian's women, except the Ma donna, were portly. Catharine of Russia, after her portraits, was tall and fat Lou isia Strozzi, for whom Alessandro di Med lei died, was given to embonpoint. Jose phine Beauharnais, the indolent Creole, afterward Empress of the French, was fat and perfumed. Marie Antoinette was tall of stature, majestic and rather inclined to be stoutish. Madame de Stael, small, dark and fat, with small head. George Sand had beautiful head, but was fat and small. Heine said of her: 1.-The build of her body has the appearance of being 8 little too fat, or, at least, little too short; the head alone bears the cachet of the ideal" Queen Isabella of Spain is fat; Queen Victoria is the same; Queen Margherita of Italy is certainly going on the same way, and most of the great sing CTS have always been noted for their em- bonpoint.
