To the casual observer the most striking
characteristic of Freemasonry Is that IL
has had the power to attract to itself in all
eras Of which we have any record Of its
progress many of tho greatest and best
men who are known to fame In the world =
history. 10 the uninitiatod It Is amazing
that the most intellectual scholars, the
bravest generals, the ablest theologians,
the most accomplished architects the most
gifted men of letters and the noblost
princes and potontates have all been proud
to DO members of the Masonic fraternity.

In no Asiatic country do we find tho
Moslem religion to be exactly that of the
Koran. Among the peasantry it is but a
thin veneer, covering the survival of more
ancient superstition. Among the more
educated, Persian, Hindoo and Buddhist
ideas, Greek philosophy, and modern ng-
nosticism-all equally unknown to the
prophet--have deeply affected the ortho-
doxy of even those who profess respect for
religion. Mohammcd himself was influ-
enced by contemporary beliefs-Jewish
and Chrisitan-to so great an extent that,
in reading the Koran, we fail to find any
thing original save that which is negative.

churches and monasterics. monks, nuns
and hermits. 1t is often forgotten In con.

When we consider how many hints have
been given during the many centuries
past for the preservation of fruits, it is
remarkable that the present enormous in
dustry in that line had not been invented
earlier 1t shows the advantage of what
are called abstract studies. When by the
invention of the microscope it was found
that rot and decay were the result of the
action of small organisms, and that not
even these fungi could develop without at
mospherc air, it was the most natural
thing in the world that successful canning
of fruits should follow, yet the hint has
long ago been given in connection with
many things, and especially with the pres
ervation of butter.
The old Gardeners Monthly recorded
number of cases where butter had been
fished out of wells, where it had dropped
from vessels suspended over the water for
the sake of the cold temperature. These
Jumps Of butter, in many cases century
old, were found just as fresh and good as
the day they were churned. Kept from
the atmosphere, no parasitic fungus could
attack it. Recently butter has been found

THE MERMAlDS.

Late at even came the mermaids
Borne upon the rising tide,
Through the cool translucent waters,
From the depths of ocean wide.
Gold hair soft as trailing MOSES,
That incoming tides bedew,
Blue eyes calm as seas in summer,
Skin that steals from shells its hue.
And the voice we hear at even,
Laughing sweet along the shore,
And we listen breathless, fearing
We may hear 1t nevermore.

There are Two Principles Involved In the
Use Of this Filter;

First. Filtration. e., the removal of all nso
uble matter from the water rendering it clean and
bright In this the filter is practically perfect TIT
SECOND. Aeration-i e., allowing the air to be
brought INTO direct contact with the filtered water as
it will be observed there are no sucb as ali
other filters have The compressed air in the water
pipes is filtered through the stone with the water
This operation tends to oxdze and aerate the filtered
water giving new life and vgor to it. In all other
taste to it, Not in this one For these reasons to-
gether with the perfect lock joint and easy method of
cleaning and taking apart, and simplicity of construc
ton these Filters are recommended for use in every
household; they have proved a great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States where they are being
sold in great numbers.
This lot which came in the "Aloha" is the first
introduced here, and we ask all our friends to
come and see the most perfect Filter now in use

An Old Idea Refuted.

Editor of the BEACON
Those persons who advocate the single
Gold Standard assert that the rea-
son our silver dollar circulates at par
with gold, is because Of the custom OF
treasury officials redeeming our silver
in gold, and it is also frequently as-
serted as a reason why one of our silver
dollars exchanges for two Mexican dol
lars is because the Mexican CAM have
our silver dollar redeemed gold. Now,
in opposition to these statements l pro
nose toplace the positive and unequivocal
declarations of the highest treasury Off
Gals. Hear We them!
In a letter addressed to Hon. Henry
NJ. Teller February 18th, 1882, the then
treasurer uses the following language;
..SIR: | have the honor to acknowl-
edge the receipt of your favor OF the
| 18th inst. in which you ask whether
silver certificates have been redeemed
in gold coin, in what amount, n on
what authority. | have to state IN re-
ply thereto, that 30 far as this office is
concerned it has never done, nor have
any of the sub treasury Offices been al.
thorized to do SO, and no departmental
instructions have been issued to thai Ell
feet
In answer to some resolutions by the
senate the secretary Of the treasury or
the 22nd day of March, 1899, stated:
Respecting redemptions or ex
changes of silver dollars and certificates,
I have to state that the department ha'
not redeemed silver dollars OF silver Ger
tifcates:gold or gold certificates, norma
II exchanged silver dollars or certificate
for gold or gold certificates.
In a personal letter to Senator Telle
December 7th, 1892, Secretary Foste
wrote as follows:
II have your favor of December TIN
I beg to inform you that silver dollar
are not in law or practice exchanged TO
gold or paper that calls for gold.
Respectfully,
CHAs. FOSTER.
All the above can be found in a speec
Of Senator Teller's delivered Februar
l 18th, 1892, in the senate. Can Ian
guage be palmer or r~efutation stronge
than these make it. Both officials as
sert that it is not the custom to redeel
silver in gold, and the secretary says {
| clearly as words can express it, that tt
s department does not exchange silver IL
n gold, or, as he SO tersely puts it Isl
t yer dollars are not in law or practice e.
. changed for gold IT will be remen
bered that Mr.. Foster was Mr.. Cal
isles immediate predecessor. l.

i statement either produce something
T.. substsntiate the truth of it, or cea
