A Cambridgeshire lady has deter
mined to start a lodge Of Freemasons
on her on own account, and she states
that the number Of applications she
has received from sisters anxious to
become acquainted with the ancient
secrets Of the mystic order testify to
an earnest desire on the part of many
women to assist men in the working Of
the craft. From what quarter she is
to receive her warrant does not appear.
Moreover, the master OF every Masonic
lodge is, according to popular tradition
as known among outsiders, a %represen-
tative OF King Solomon, who presided
over the building Of the Temple when
Freemasonary was founded; but how
could a mistress-mason be that? The
Salic law is very strict in Free
masonry. She might say she repre-
sented the Queen Of Sheba, but the
anciet order would regard that as an
" over the left" branch Of the mystic
brotherhood. Female Freemasonry is
a daring innovation, and women who
embrace it hardly know the danger
they run.-London Telegraph.

NannInssea M Her Ioons.

A young lady living in Indianapolis,
according to the Sentinel of that
place, had an experience the other
evening that, even a Summer at the
seaside, cannot make her forget. She
was upstairs and had just turned out
her light when she heard a caller ask
for her. She made a dive for her
powder puff in the dark and dnsted
her face with the powder. She went
to the parlor and found distinguished
stranger, on whom she a anxious to
make an impression. He appeared
rather nonplussed at her looks, but be-
ing a man of the world, which means
a man wise enough not TO tell a woman
her faults, he said nothing. She sat
and chatted gracefully and had a de-
lightful evening. As soon as he had
gone she rushed to the mirror, as every
girl does when her beau leaves. She
gave n scream and went off into
Mysteries, for in her haste and the
dark she had dipped her powder puff
into a box Of pulverized charcoal in
stead Of powder, and she had the make
up Of an amateur colored minstrel.
The contrast of her dainty organdie
gown and blonde hair was very funny,
but she will never smile again.

Outlook for southern wye.

The Courier says that in Pahrump
valley in the southern part Of Nye
county, lemons. oranges, figs, grapes
and other fruit are produced in great
quantities. II is even believed that
the Persian date can be successfully
produced and the experiment will be
tried soon. 1t is well known by grow
ers on the Pacific coast that the citrus
plants grown in Southern Nye, are
remarkable for their prolifcness, and
that the oranges, lemons, lines, etc.,
produced in that section Of our county
are more delicious than those which
are produced in Southern California.
1t will not be long before capitalists
and experienced fruit growers will de-
vote some of their attention to that
portion Of the county. Taken in con-
nection with the gold mines the out
look for Southern Nye is most brilliant.

Among the nations Of the earth Japan

or population. The area Of Japan,

900 square miles than that Of the
United Kingdom. Furthermore, there

census results in both cases. Japan's
population is larger than Italy's by

900, 900 miles greater. No one speaks
Of Italy as |" little Italy," although she
is not so populous as Japan. Japan
has nearly ten times the area and
almost twenty times the population Of
Denmark. Japan is not a little I"
country save as compared with such
unwieldy masses as the Chinese EN-

States. That she is big enough to hold

WORKING the Road.

A prominent lawyer says that many
years ago he went West, but as he got
no clients, and stood a good chance Of
starving to death, he decided to come
East again. Without any money he
boarded a train for Nashville, Tenn,
intending to seek employment as re-
porter on n of the daily newspapers.
When the conductor called for his
ticket, he said: al am on the staff
OF the. Of Nashville; I suppose
you will pass me?" The conductor
looked at him sharply. "The editor
Of that paper is in the smoker; come
with me; il he identifies you, all
right" He followed the conductor
into the smoker the situation was ex-
planned. Mr.. Editor said: "Oh, yes.
| recognize him as one of the staff; it
is all right" Before leaving the train
the lawyer again sought the editor.

editor. either. I'm travelling On his
pass, and was scared to death lest you
should give me away" So says an

His Letter saved Him.

The head master at a boarding
school had thrashed one OF the boys
and finished by saying: "Now, sir,
sit down and write a letter to your
parents, telling them how much you
are taught here and how little good it
does you. l should be ashamed to tell
them, if | were you" The boy cried
and made all sorts of excuses, but
there was no help for it, so he sat
down and wrote: dear Father: l

where else. Twice two's four; four

went Quito Levy ON sheep.

Sheriff Quirk left in q buggy this
morning for a place called Long VAL
ley, which is north OF Virginia and
about 20 miles distant. He went out
to interview some sheep men who are
reported to be pasturing sheep In the
northern part Of Storey county. A
sheep-herder named Murphy Is said
to have $500 head in the county. The
Sheriff went out for the purpose of
levying taxes on the sheep and also to
demand a sheep license, which is pro-
vided for under a new law passed by
the last Legislature, The new law
fixes a license Of 8 cents q head upon
every sheep in the county up to 1000
head owned by one owner and q less
rate for all in addition.
The Sheriff has received informa-
ton that the sheep ,nen will fight the
license law. II is said tbs. there is
81, 900 in Reno for that purpose at
present. The Sheriff will make the
necessary demand required by law
and then the law will be tested. He
will probably have to spend several
days in looking up the sheep men,

BieycIes and Crime.

Bicycles will soon become as COM
mon with robbers as horses once were
as a means of escaping arrest, says
the Stockton Independent. The rob-
Der and malefactor generally is quicker
to avail himself Of improvements than
other people are. 1t is about two
years since an Illinois station agent
utilized a bicycle in running away
with the company's money, and he
would have been successful but for an
error such as rogues usually make.
Now that detectives have been APP
prised that train robbers use the
wheels, every night rider will be under
suspicion. The introduction OF the
wheel into criminal industry makes it
all the more dangerous and more diff
cult for officers to detect and punish
criminals who use them.

he would not live many years.
Since that time Mr.. Gaines has lived
IS years. and the company has paid
him his yearly stipulation Of s416,

His best authenticated record was
made when he was employed on q

perfectly sober. He started for the
postofice and returned in exactly four

could hardly talk when he staggered
