 But I have a theory as to the ori- gin of aboriginal Masonry and its in troduction into America. I believe it was an inspiration from the Omnis- cienIt to a Polynes;an or African Out not Ethiopian) race, and in essentials the same as that handed down to the Phoenicians from whom the moderns believe theirs came. Those same Pol ynesian races afterwards colonized Central America and Mexico, and thence Gas To,tecs or Aztecs if you wish it) during unknown ages, these Lares and Penaltes of an eternal wis dom and virtue, were borne on cur rent of migration ever headed in a northeasterly direction. But these de- voted pilgrims and colonists, all along the line of their migration from the Rio Grande northward were set upon by herd of vandals-an all devouring host as thick as grasshoppers on the plains. The vandals were Mongolians and from them directly descended are the Sioux, PaJwnees, Utes, Comanches, Apaches and other western tribes, while the Pueblos of the southwest are the last survivals of these Polynesian- Toitecan pilgrims, who escaped the obliteration and debasement which these Mongolian Goths inflicted on the Toltecan colonists in the east, by in fusing their own ignoble blood in them.

A London omnibus-driver is reported as a punster by the Telegraph of that city.
 A gentleman who occupied a front garden seat on a bus was complaining of the snail-like pace. Anything wrong with the horses?" he inquired of the driver.
 ''Bless me, no," was the reply. Its their fust journey"
 Not satisfied, the complainant again protested against the conveyance being turned into a funeral car, and asked with some irony whether it was ''fa- vorite."
 "No, not exactly, sir" was the an- swer, 'but it's known as the 'regu- lator'"
 Asked to explain his meaning, the imperturbable occupant of the box re- torted:
 .'Why, cause it's the bus all the others go by.'"

DON'T PUSH.
There Is Room Enough in the United
 States for 9A5. 300 People.

States for 9A5, 766, 300 People.
 Have you any idea of the number of persons that the United States would sustain without overcrowding the popu- lation or even going beyond the limit of density now shown by the state of Rhode Island? The last census of the pigmy state just gives it a population of S0O,OO0. The area of the state in square miles is only 1,25O; thus we find that there is an average of SIS persons on every square mile of her territory.
 We can best illustrate the sustaining capacity of the whole of the United States and of the other states by making some comparisons. The state of Texas has an area of 265, 7S0 square miles; and, were it equally as densely populated as Little Rhody," would comfortably sus- tain population of S. .533 ,62S inhabi- tants-a greater number of persons than the whole country is expected to have in the year 1900. Scatter people all over the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the gulf to the Brit ish possessions, as thiclzly as they are now in Rhode Island, and we would have 945, ,T66, 300 inhabitants, instead of an insignificant 62,000,000.
 In other words, says the St. Louis Re public, if the United States could be peo- pied to it's utmost sustaining capaoity,w could take care of nearly two-thirds of the present population of the globe.

Delaware Aerrap1n.

Epicures sniff at the terrapin found in the Delaware and Chesapeake canal, but natives of the region eat him with delight. He is locally known as the red belly. Some persons eat him at any size, but the large red belly is not so palatable as one, say, the size of an av- craze male human hand. Properly cooked and dressed with a rich sauce of cream, salt, pepper and wine, the red belly is excellent, and he doubtless forms part of many dish of terrapin served at high rates in more or less fashionable restaurants.

FOUL MURDER EXPOSED How the Victims Body Was Preserved. Three Years Have Elapsed Since the Crime. Assasslnated in Salt Lake and the
 Corpse Sent to
 Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 1-The mysteri- ous body in the box has been positive ly identified as that of Prosper Chase al, identification being made by a phenomenon so rare in medical annals that it's occurrence under the present circumstances is looked upon by phy- sicians as almost miracle.
 The phenomenon referred to is the formation of adipocere corpse-wax, which in this instance has formed in large quantities and partially pre- served the body to such an extent that what under ordinary conditions would be a formless mass of decay can be recognized by weM-known marks as the body of Joanes Prosper Chaseal, murdered in Salt Lake City three years ago, it is claimed, by a man known to the French population of that city as Jules L. Assassin.
 The body was enclosed in zinc box placed in trunk and the trunk in turn was packed in a dry goods case, being completely surrounded by saWdust, which must have absorbed any moisture which came out of it. The case with its contents, after ar irving in Chicago, was deposited in a dry warehouse, where is remained un- disturbed for three years.
 Nevertheless, there is no longer room for much doubt as to the manner in which Chaseal met his death. Henry .Devere and Bas Marcel, two of his Salt Lake friends, now in this city, told this afternoon what they be- aieve is the story.
 According to them Chaseal was the victim of a coldIblooded deliberate plot to rob and murder him. He was decoyed and murdered by Jules, the assassin, and his mistress. He and his paramour disappeared shortly af- ter Chaseal's disappearance and when last heard of they were in Caracas Venezuela

Senator Perkins of Ca.- ifornia, energetically defended subsi- dies for their encouragement to Amer ican shipping. The subsidy item was removed for a separate vote tomor- row.

Greeley's Eccentricitiss.

Horace Greeley was born in pow
erty and reared in obscurity. With
a thirst for knowledge, inherited
from his mother, one Of his most
striking characteristics was correct
ness of spelling, and an everlasting
desire to associate with those who
could not spell.
He was drowsy as o lad, and the
drowsiness remained with him
through life. He would sleep in
the street cars, and his associates
said he "could sleep as well as he
could SPELL" When he was ten
years old, he had borrowed, read
and returned every book within
seven miles of his fathers house.
He was not college bred man, and
he used to say: "Of all the horned
cattle, a college graduate is the
worst in newspaper Office
His family was so poor that a
lady once found them all living
upon milk and bread. Horace's 8
mother said Is cost less than So q
year to clothe him, and as boy he
persistently dressed in the most
awkward country style.
At fifteen he was apprenticed to
a printer in Poultney, VT, for six
years for his board and $40 per an
mum. He learned to set type in
one day as we'll as the average ap-
prentice could in one month.
He would never retort to a joke,
but "stuck his nose in the space
box" and his intellectual accom-
plishments dominated the baser
habits of printers. When copy ran
out, he began to compose news
items at the case, and as they went
in the paper he soon found himself
composing editorial paragraphs,
which also went in.
He never had new suit of clothes
in the five years of his apprentice
ship, and walked home, five nun
dred miles away, twice in that time
to see his mother. On one of these
trips, when he passed through Sar-
atoga. n. Y, he wrote his first news
paper article, which was published
in his paper when he returned to
work.
