Masonic Rites ior a Woman.

Now, Michigan, Sept. u. So
far as known, the only Masonic
burial rites that were ever spoken
over the body of a woman were
delivered here yesterday when
the body of Mrs. Mary Bush was
committed to the earth. Her
ancestors had al been Masons,
her husband a knight Templar,
her sons Freemasons and she
had always been a strong parti-
san of the Masonic order.
A delegation of Knights Temp
lars escorted the body from the
house to the church and guarded
it there during the seven hours
it lay in state. The Masonic SER
vices were racited at the church
and in the cemetery, and the
body was followed to the grave
yard by a large delegation OF
Masons. Mrs. BUSH was liz
years old and had possessed her
full faculties up to within three
months of her death.

The South equally with the
West, will have a really enormous
corn crop this year, far in excess
of any in its history. According
70 present prospects it Will be
from 6oo,00O.ooO to $4,000, 600
bushels, worth about 100000
GOO. Indeed. every crop in tie
South, with the exception of cot
ton, will be unprecedentedly
large this year, and. although
the cotton crop will be smaller
than usual, its money value will
be above the average of 1894.

seemingly delighted at the thoughts OF
past and future revels.
He then went on to explain that he
never rises from his couch while ell
gagged in his researches. The various
tubes enabled him to absorb his be-
loved nectars just as comfortably as a
child draws its refreshment from a
nursing bottle.
1.-The most interesting of all branches
of drinking, said the doctor, lis ether
intoxication as praoticed in the north
of Ireland. Ether is one of the pro-
ducts of the large distilleries there,
and, being easily procured by the work
men, is largely used instead of spirits.
"It is preferred to whisky because a
man can get comfortably drunk and
sober again on either in two hours.
This enables one to have six good times
IN twelve hours, thing not attainable
by other MEANS"
Replying to question as to the
manner in which ether is used, he
said:
"They drink it. Inhalation would
produce anesthesia. The effect when
swallowed is quite different: it is a
strong stimulant; its nauseous taste is
the principal objection to its use, and l
don't drink much of it.
"Still if it were possible to have its
effects combined with the delicious
favors of some rare old wines the re-
sult wOull be perfaot am prapor
ing for series of experiments with
that end in view."
This eccentric man imagines he is
doing great work. and makes copious
notes after each luxurious drinking
bout.
His intellect does not appear to be
affected in other ways, and his CONVEX
sation is most refined and brilliant

THE GOLD BRICK HSCAPED-As USUAL.

An amusing instance of the misdi-
rected zeal of Mexican officials has re-
Gently come to light in. connection with
the case of man named Pratt, who
was confined in the Ensenada (Mexico)
Jail on charge of completely in the
theft of gold brick. During his con-
finement letter was received at the
Jail from Mrs. Pratt, directed to her
husband. The official court interpreter
was sent for, and he proceeded to de-
cipher the letter. He got through it
very we'll, with occasional wild guesses,
until he came to the end; and there,
in postscript. he saw the words,
"Baby is quite WE'LL" This non
plused him, until he remembered that
"well" meant hole in the ground for
providing water.
In second the whole thing flashed
through his mind, and he trembled
with excitement as he ran to the judge
and told him he had captured letter
which gave the whole thing away.
"The gold brick is in the we'll at
Pratt's house." he told the judge.
That official. overjoyed with the
news, gave orders that Pratt and his
fellow prisoners. his alleged confeder-
ates, should be placed in solitary con-
finement. and that visitors should not
be allowed to see them under any cir
oumstances. Then force of soldiers
was sent to Pratt's house with orders
to pump the well dry and get the
brick The greatest haste was EN-
ployed and within few hours the
we'll was pumped dry. and the search
began for the bar. Nothing was found.
and then the lieutenant in charge OF
the squad procured shovels and made
the soldiers dig at the bottom of the
we'll for three or four hours. But still
nothing came to light. and after in
specting walls and ransacking the
house the facts were reported to head
quarters.
The officials did not know what TO
make of it. They called for the letter
again aud sent for another interpreter.
This man happened to understanding
lish, and he soon explained the situa'
tion. He told them that it meant the
baby was in good health.
The Judge discharged the old inter
prefer on the spot and engaged the''nev
one. He released tho prisoners from
solitary confinement. and did his ut
most to prevent the facts from becom
ing known.

SUPERSTITlONS OF THE THEATER.

An italian actor told. me of some of
the superstitions of the Italian stage
recently. Peacock feathers are un
lucky, even if only painted ON the
theater's decorations, furniture, scenes,
curtains, etc.
1t is also unlucky to lay an umbrella
ON the prompter's table.
A yellow clarinet brings i'll luck ON
q new opera.
Never wear new shoes on the first
night of play. or if you do. put the
right shoe on the left foot, and the left
shoe ON the right foot.
The most fortunate shoes to wear ON
the first night of any play are the shoes
that were worn when the actor or
actress made his or her first success ON
the stage. These should always be
kept as talisman.
Adelina Patti has always believed in
this, and each time she appears in
new piece she always wears her "talis-
man shoes. ."-Footlights.

MARRIAGE OF THE DEAD.

A strange custom prevails among
certain tribe in the Caucasus. When a
single young man dies. some one who has
carried to the grave marriageable
daughter in the course of year cells
upon the bereaved parents and says:
"Your son is sure to want a wife.
I'll give you my daughter, and you
shall deliver to me the marriage por-
ton in return"
A friendly offer of this description
is never re jected and the two parties
soon come to terms as to the amount
of the dowry, which varies according
to the advantages possessed by the girl
in her lifetime. Cases have been
known where the young mans father
has given as much as thirty cows to
secure a dead wife for his dead son.
