Masonic.
Body and Soul.

Freemasonry may be compared to
n human being. Like man himself,
1t consist of two parts-body and
soul. The body of Masonry is the
frame, the covering, the external
phases. containing within itself the
Masonic symbols. ceremonies, usages
and customs. The soul of Masonry
is the essence, the internal, invisible
spirit, embracing within itself the
Masonic ideas and conceptions OF
the world and of life, the fundamen-
,al ideas and principles of Masonry;
it is the IMMORTAL fire that animates
and mold the grosser frame, ever
winding itself in love around all hu.
man things. Tue spirit of Masonry
consists of that worship of the
Great Architect of the universe, which
is manifested, when before the altar
of truth, we solemnly pledge our
selves to an unfeigned trust in God,
to an upright and conscientious rule
of life, to an all-embraciDg love of
our fellowman. The fundamental
ideas and principles of Masonry,
have ever prevailed among men, aud
therefore the spirit of Masonry is as
ancient as mankind-it was born
with the first man. The spirit of
Masonry, the essence and soul of
Masonry is nothing more than the
spirit of humanity; our name and
object is none other than to honor,
foster and promote the intellectual
nobility and worth of the human
race,
The spirit of Masonry is the
bright and heavenly spirit of the
Masonic art WHICH exists and hes
existed everywhere aud at all times
wherever and whenever man las ex.
listed; it is oonfir ed to no time or
place, to no prescribed form.
The spirit Of Masonry is that in

Pewholders in metropolitan churches who
do not pay rents may hereafter be dunned
for the amount due. just as though the in
debtedness was for meat or drink or any
of the other necessities or Injuries of life,
If other congregations decide to follow the
example of the M-adison-avenue Reformed
Church. which has a large and fashionable
congregation. The Madison-avenue congre-
cation has not placed the accounts OF de-
iinquent p~ewholders in the hands OF a law
yer for collection, but II has sent some
bills to a collection agency. This is ad-
mitted by the treasurer of the congrega-
ton, who IS also vice president of a bank.
He believes that the affairs Of n church
should be conducted upon the same princi-
pies Of those of any other institution, hence
the new departure IN the collection of back
pew rents. A member of the consistory
backs NJ the treasurer of the aristocratic
church in this language: II believe that
where a man is ab~undantly able TO pay and
declines TO do so when requested, then he
should be made to pay. The church does
not expect members TO make payments
when unable 70 DO so; but there are men
who live in fine style, own fine houses,

show they have ample means. who allow
their pew rents to run behind. and give no
atiention whatever to requests made them

Such cases are the ones that are being
taken up" Supplementary proceedings

Hot Water.

New 1ork Ledger
Hot water has far more medical virtues
than many believe or know. Because it is
so easily procured, thousands think 1t val
ueless. The uses of hot water are. how
ever, many. For example, there is nothing
that so promptly cuts short congestion Of
the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as
hot water when applied promptly and
thoroughly. Headache almost always yields
to the simultaneous application of hot wa
ter to the feet and back of the neck. A
towel folded several times and dipped in
hot water, and quickly wrung out and ap-
piled over the painful part In toothache
or neuralgia, will generally afford prompt
relief. A strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water and
wrung out. and then applied around the
neck of n child that has the Group, will
sometimes bring relief in ten nut Hot
water taken freely half an hour before
bedtime is helpful in the case of constipa-
ton, while IL has a most soothing effect
upon the stomach and bowels. A goblet
of hot water taken just after rising. be-
fore breakfast. has cured thousands of in
digestion, and no simple remedy is more
widely recommended by physicians to dys-
peptics. Very hot water will stop danger
Gus bleeding.

Ladies' Home Companion
Without question bangs are out; but no
law has been issued that we drag the hair
so tightly off the face as to render wink
ing an impossibility. 1t only serves TO ac-
centuate the marks of age. which usually
show first at the temples. where the hair
grows thin. and brings into prominence
any one feature that is fully in its pro-
portions. If you wear a pompadour. wear
it dressed full, either with the aid of a
roll under the hair, or place side combs
under the hair. with the teeth pointing
from the face, which will produce a full,
loose effect, which is more becoming. To
put the side combs under the hair, a part
ing must be made directly in the center
of the head, and the hair again divided
from the crown to the ear. Then put the
combs in as far forward as possible. and
turn the hair back over them. After the
front is satisfactorily arranged the side
locks must be pulled out loose; and a stray
lock or two is permissible. AT the back
the hair is mostly arrayed In a round knot,
though there is an evident tendency to
arrange the hair In the chatelaine braids
with q broad, fiat effect.

To Cure Headaches.

DIR. Herrick, in Ladies' Home Journal.
A hot bath, a stroll IN the fresh air.
s~hampooing the head in weak sodawater,
or a timely nap in a cool, quiet room will
sometimes stop O nervous headache. When
overfatigued from shopping or sightseeing
a sponge dipped in very hot water and
pressed repeatedly over the back of the
neck between the ears will be found ex-
ceedingly refreshing, especially if the face
and temples are afterward subjected to
the same treatment. Neuralgia is caused
not only by cold air. but by acidity of the
stomach, starved nerves, imperfect teeth,
or by Incidence combined with a too gen.
erous diet. Heat is the best and quickest
cure for this distressing pain. A hot fiat
iron, passed rapidly and deftly over sew
eral folds of flannel laid on the affected
spot, will often give relief in less than ten
minutes. without the aid of medicine. Hot
Concentrations are of equal value, though

acidity a dose of charcoal or soda will US

is accompanied by bilious symptoms, and
attacks usually come or when the person

is a disease of the first half of life, and
often stops of It's own accord after middle
