The records show that of the 212 chill
dren now in the asylum only 80 are the
children OF Masons, SO that over four
ffths of the children maintained there,
are children for whom the State ought
TO care. and this has always been the
case.
1t is to the honor and glory Of Masonry
that the as3 lum was established, not for
the children OF Mnsons only, but for the
destitute and homeless orphans Of the
State. regardless of belief or party aililia-
tions OF their parents, to the extent Of
It's capacity In doing this the IasonS OF
North Carolina have given to the world
au eyemplifioa;ion Of that great principle
taught by Jesus Of Nazareth, that men
are brethren, and this illustration Of
tae doctrine OF The brotherhood OF man
"a continual object lesson 10 the world
The glory OF the State is her citizens,
and 80 make good citizens ought TO be
her highest ambition This is the great
Object and aim Of the Oxford Orphan
Asylum, and it's success has been large
Money spent for this purpose therefore
is not only most judicious expenditure
but economy in the best form.
The State in contributing this money
for training and educating the desti-
tUlc, VINO NOulU VtBti W ISC bC uCl p'ihPNl
and criminal class, is simply but surely
increasing the opportunities of citizenship
and decreasing the inmates Of the jails
and penitentiaries.
Mr.. n. NJ. Lawrence, who is the super
intendent of the asylum is a model officer.
He has shown executive ability of
high order, and under his management
the institution has grown in usefulness
and popular favor Mr.. Lawrence wins
the hearts of the children and their ODE
dience; he commands the confidence Of
the directors he wins the admiration and
cooperation Of philanthropists; and in
every way has proven himself an efficient
officer.
During the past year, thanks to the
generosity Che gave 100000 of Mr. b. n.
Duke, who is not a Mason, great improve
mcnts have been made. Referring to these
improvements in detail, Mr. Lawrence
says
-Four substantial, connections and
comfortable brick buildings, two stories
high. have been built in semi-circle
to the right Of the building occupied 10y
the girls, about one hundred feet apart
These buildings viii be occupied by
the boys rs soon as completed.
Each building has a basement which
will be used for play rooms, wash rooms,

water closets, etc On the first floor
there is bed room for one Of the
matrons, a dressing room in which the
clothes of the children will be kept, a
reception room for visitors, and large
study room and a small room for a library
which can be thrown into one by opening
the folding doors between. This arrange
ment puts the teacher and children con
stantly together, and gives them the bene-
fit OF her help and influence. This home
like intercourse is expected to be greatly
beneficial to the children in their social,
as well as in their moral and religious
life, and the institution is expected to be
much more efficient in its work and dis
cipline.
ION the second floor there are two
large, well ventilated dormitories to hold
twelve children each, making twenty
four children to a house On this floor
also is the teachers room, who viii be
convenient to the children at night. There
is a water closet on this floor for night
use.
"In the most central building the bath
room viii be located. Instead of bath
tubs spray baths will be used
"A large two-story brick building has
been erected behind the girls building to
| De used Tor Kitchen, dining rooms, bakery,
store rooms, etc. This building is 44x49
| feet for the two-story part with single
| story annex 3Sx49 feet.
This building is fifty feet from the
| girls building and will be connected with
| it by two covered ways, so that when
| the children go from the chapel to their
meals, the boys viii go into their dining
room by one way and the girls into theirs
! by another. There is a large folding
door between so that when wanted the
two dining rooms can be thrown into one.
] Above these dining rooms is large hall
42x77 feet, 16 feet pitch, which is in
tended to be the Hall Of the Grand Lodge
of North Carolina to meet in annual com
munication, so that under their own wine
and fig tree" the representatives OF
Masonry can see for themselves the noble
institution which they have established
for the betterment Of humanity, and
with their own eyes see the work that is
being done and the children they are help
ing to support. There is growing desire
among the Masons of the State to NEE
on their own property and get in close
touch with this great work.
"a system of sewerage has also beer
put in and bath tubs and water closets
in the girls building which add great!
to the comfort convenience and healtl
Of the children"

Aluminium violins are said to have
a richer tone than those made OF wood,
and the inventor states that he has
found in aluminium a latent property
consisting of tendency of the funda-
mental to outweigh the upper partial
tones. For this reason means are
employed to introduce and regulate
the partial tones to suit the tastes of
the individual player. Notwithstand-
ing the strong popular feeling in favor
of wooden instruments aluminium
instruments are steadily gaining their
way in musical circles.

Snaliey ON silver.

Mr.. b. B. Smalley, of Vermont, was
in Washington the other day and did
some talking on the political situation.
1t was his opinion that if present con-
ditions exist year from now the
Democrats will carry the country, and
this just the same as though there had
been no split in the party. He con-
tinued in these terms:
l am not free silverite; l tried
hard to figure how that policy could
benefit the nation, but couldn't
honestly agree to it. But neither on
the other hand do l see how the
American people can be taxed into
prosperity. The effort is going to be
made, and if it results in failure then
the public will say that free silver is
no worse than the single gold standard.
1t won't be an easy matter then to
make the voters think that free silver
would be the worst thing that could
happen for the general welfare.
Mr.. Smalley says the people cannot
be taxed into prosperity, which is true,
and thinks it not improbable that
present conditions may continue; and
that if they do it will not be an easy
matter to make the people think that
free silver would be the worst thing
that could happen. If one will but
pause and look around he can scarcely
fail to discover very strong symptoms
that even now the people are begin
ming to think whether free silver
would not be the very best thing that
could happen. If there is no improve
ment in the present depressed condi-
ton of business there is no power that
can prevent the people voting for free
silver year and half hence. And
after all, there lies their true relief
from the ills that now beset them.

The japanese are making under
clothing of their finely crisped or
grained paper.
After the paper has been cut to a
pattern the different parts are sewed
together and hemmed, and the places
where the buttonholes are to be
formed are strengthened with calico
or linen. The stuff is very strong,
and at the same time very flexible.
After a garment had been worn a few
hours it will interfere with the trans.
piration Of the body no more than do
garments made of fabric.
The stuff is not sized, nor is it i'm.
permeable. After becoming wet the
paper is difficult to tear. When an
endeavor is made to tear it by hand, it
presents almost as much residence as
the thin skin used for making gloves.

He Tu m bled

A Tumwater young man recently
called on an Olympia young lady to
spend the evening. When about to
return home the conversation chanced
to turn on art and the young lady
told him that he reminded her OF the
Venus of Milo. Whereupon the young
man chuckled with delight, think
ing it was his symmetrical form that
his sweetheart alluded to. When he
got home he consulted an encyclo-
p@dia and to his deep chargrin and
modification found that the Venus of
Milo had no arms. He went down
cellar and tried to but his brains out
on soft cabbage.

Hetty Green, the richest woman in
the world, repeats her mothers advice
about money in these words: Its
poor policy to lie awake nights think
ing how you can get the best of people
and planning to cheat ones neighbor.
Instead, one should sleep soundly, eat
light and work hard, and thus be in a
condition to manage what money one
has and make plenty more"
