A Blue Jay That Lighted Matches.

A dangerous requirement of pet
blue jay is told about in The Ameri-
can Naturalist by James Newton
Basket of Mexico, Mo. The blue jay
referred to somehow learned that
parlor or popping matches would
make a delightful sputter and flame
if properly manipulated.
The bird was in the habit of beat
ing much of its food against some
hard substance, perhaps for the pur-
pose of breaking or softening it. 1t
probably treated one Of the parlor
matches in this way one day and
so learned that they made a noise.
When a match was given to it, it
would hop on a chair round and
strike the illuminate against the
wood, end on, repeating it rapidly
till the head was ignited; then it
would throw it away and watch the
fame.

Wanted HIS Money Back.

Only about a week ago a
young man living in Gainesville
appeared at County Clerk
Thompson's office and applied
for license to marry a Gaines
vile woman. The necessary
papers were issued and he went
his way rejoicing. This morn
ing the same fellow returned
the license and insisted that the
clerk take them back and re-
fund the money he paid for
them saying that he had chang
ed his mind and concluded not
to wed at this time. Whether
Alex refunded the money de-
ponent sayeth not. The boys
say the marriage writ" was
returned endorsed mo property
found. ."-Gainesville Register.

"Whilo travelling through Europe sew

of Troy, n. Y, II came across n man who
was exhibiting u performing monkey. The
beast was rs dexterous a thief as could be
imagined, and his master told me that ev-

minutes. did so, and presently his keep
er led him to spot close to where date
seller was sitting on the ground with his
basket beside him. Here his master put
him through number of tricks, and al
though could see the monkey was eying
the fruit he did not make any demonstra-
ton toward taking it. In the midst of one
of his feats he suddenly started up from
the ground, and uttering n cry Of pain or
rage fixed his eyes full on the face of the
date seller Then, without moving the rest,
of his body he stole ms many dates as he
could hold in one of his hind hands. The

Strength of the Order In Various Parts of
the world-Notes.
The following are said to be the number
of Freemasons in the various parts OF
Europe Austria, ITO; Germany, i2,076;
Italy, 5000; France, 26, 800; England, 1884,
600; Scotland, 71,225; Ireland, 1880;
Denmark, 3, 65S; Sweden, 5000; Belgium,
$50; Holland, 4, 1868; Luxembourg, 140;
Switzerland, 2,615; Spain, 80, 300; Portu
gal, 5000; Greece, 305; total, 1888, 1897,
America, or, 673. By this it will be seen
that where liberty and enlightenment
most reign there Freemasonry ilourishes.
These statistics are two or three years old,
but they give an idea of the strength of
the institution in different parts of the
world.
Most Illustrious John f. Baldwin is
grand master of the Royal and Select Mas
ters of New York.
Chillicothe, Mo-, Masons recently laid the
cornerstone of u temple to cost $50, 900.

In the flap and blue border to the apron
tied with blue strings.
The report of the grand chapter of Kan
sas shows decided increase both numer-
ically and financially.
Masonry is the one popular secret socie-
ty in the far east. Natives Of China and
Japan are not admitted to the mysteries of
our order.
Freemasonry is science of sciences and
the arcanum of all that is valuable to
man.-Locke.
The best way to kill Masonic body is
to open late, delay the regular business
and then oblige the members to stay late
for the regular work.
The Freemason's Chronicle of London
for Aug. 10, 1895, names 90 members OF
the house of commons who are Freemasons
and reserves other names for further
issue.
All the Illinois Masonic grand bodies
will hold meetings in Chicago in October
and doubtless will make good reports
The Masonic prospect in the state is very
favorable.
In Alabama there is movement for 9
one year term for the grand master.

IT IS most pleasing to note a
radical change in the tone of the
Hilo TribKRe and of letters received
from the Second City. The latest
utterances are free from the taunts,
threats, Misrepresentation and bel
ligerancy that characterized former
expressions. Let 1t be hoped that
there has been a finale of belittling
of the capital city. That will be
best for all concerned. Prejudice
and jealousy may pro6tably be
eliminated for all time and calm
and reasonable consideration re-
place acrimonious discussion. The
government, Honolulu and Oahu
certainly desire without conditions
the upbuilding of the Island of
Hawaii and of the town of Hilo.
Every effort will be made at the
capital to meet all reasonable re-
quests in behalf of other COMMUNE
ties when the petitions are made in
the proper spirit. Warmth of de-
claration in a new newspaper was
not unexpected and it is perhaps
surprising that moderation has so
early been adopted. Clear under
standings may now be reached
without delays and results will be
beneficial to the country at large.

have been made during the dry

that the highway will be bad as
ever before for traffic when the rains
come again. There is no economy
in anything but permanent work
on such a road as connects the two
