emphatic reprobatiOn of the politiel

/ grand master, ErnestO Nathan, a Hs

| for Free Masons to put an end to tn
/ secrecy hitherto observed, and that tn
| members of the body should publicly pro
/ claim their connection with it. He add
| that the craft is neither profane nc
hostile in regard to any religion whateve
| and that as IL is an association for mt
! tual help and of public and general utilt,
| II Is necessary for men of Variuos pOlit
! cal and religious creeds to lay aside the
passions at the door of its temple. l
one word, it would seem as if the Italia
| Free Masons had come to the conclusio
to abandon the bitter warfare hithert
waged by them upon the church.
The sea gull is doubly the benefactc

COAST, in order to eat the freshly turne
grubs' but it scours the surface of tn
sea near the shore, and frequents harboI
to seize on floating garbage, dead ifs

vice of these birds have saved many
| seaport town and village, round whic
| they hover from plague and pestilenc,
Yet every year they are massacred b
thousands for idle and cowardly spol

Long before the coal fields of tn
world are exhausted, says the Pittsbur
| Dispatch, there is little doubt the worl
ers on the borderland of engineering wi
have discovered some plan of tapping til
| lnconceivably great stores of energ
| around us. The very earth we live a
is whirling around like a great fy-whee
and If we could only find some way {
utilizing its momentum we could dra'
upon 1t for ages for all the power "
want without appreciably affecting III
speed of its revolution or the length {
our day. 1t is, indeed, naturally draw
upon now in various things intimatel
associated with the work of the harbc
! and dock engineer. The flow of the ND
in enormous volume, up and down a rive
IS accompanied by a vast expenditure
! power in overcoming the FRACTIONAL T,
slstance OF the river bed, in the grindin
OF sandbanks from one part of the rive
TO another. Even the flow of the waite
through the sluices of locks involves
loss OF energy, as does the working of
tide mill, which latter is one way {
utilizing, as the others are of destroyini
some of the earth'S momentum No trr
engineer will believe that with so man
sources OF energy around us the progre:
of mankind and the work of the enginet
will cease with the exhaustion of the CO;
fields.
A new kind of shoe has been devise,
says the New York Journal Let all mel
women and children give heed, for eth,
they have tender feet or are liable SON
day to have them and to suffer untold mi,
cries in consequence. From time to tim
science dazzles us with wonderful disco,
cries, but the common things that a,
most essential to daily life change lift
and seldom. Thus it Is with shoes II
a debatable ques ton whether the tintr,
duction of kind of shoe that would /
more healthy and comfortable would M
be Of more true value than the inventio
OF the telephone. On this account n
worth while to pay attention to the claim
of the shoes. A laced shoe of The ord
nary type frequently causes discomfo
and soreness across the instep3 and o,
pecially on the outer side of the foot TIL
may be due to the pressure and rigidit
OF the shoe at the place where the ton

Is covered by one soft, seamless niece I,
leather, which does not press on the fo,
