NEW YoRks GROWTH.
The City Has Never Halted Since 1t Was
 First Fairly Started.

 The City Has Never Halted Since 1t Was
 First Fairly Started.
 Ernest Ingersoli writes paper on tho Great New York, entitled Reasoning Out a n4es. opolis. for St. Nicholas. MT Ingersoll says:
 The people of New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island and certain nearby north ern towns resolved to join themselves together into one city, which is now the Greater New York. It embraces 342 square miles of territory and includes a population of nearly 3, 400, GOO.
 Besides these at least another million dwell on the New Jersey side of the Hudson river, quite as near and as closely identified with the great city on Manhattan Island as are those of the northern and eastern suburbs. This makes population of nearly 4, 500 GOO which may be said to belong to New York, making it not only by far the largest center of human life and inter- ests in America, but, excepting only London, the most populous spot oD the globe.
 How has it happened that this vast city has grown up where it stands? Why did not the American metropolis arise somewhere else? Is it's position all an accident, or does history show sound reasons for its situation? The earliest settlement here was merely trading station that gradually became small seaport. like dozen others along the coast. Before the year 1700 these were so nearly alike that he would have been wise prophet who truly foretold which would thrive. Indeed many men of that day firmly believed that Newport and Annapolis were to be the two great American seaports.
 Great cities arise at the points where the greatest number of people find it convenient to meet at first for business and later for pleasure. You cannot force city to grow in an unnatural or unsuit. able situation, and 1t is no easier to prs vent city from growing i'll its proper place. But the conditions that change B village into big town and expand the town into city or metropolis are net the same in different parts of the globe and vary with the march of the cen turies; so that HOW many an ancient world market, like Nineyeh or Mem phis, las totally disappeared, while towns like Berlin have lately increased with amazing rapidity, after long his- tory as small and insignificant places. As for New York, it has never halted or gone backward for moment since it was fairly started on its career in 1623.

Try Holding Your Breath.

The modern quick moving elevator. when it sinks suddenly, gives many persons an unpleasant, qualmish feeling. Into we'll filled elevator in a big shop. ping store the other day stepped from one of the floors two women.
 'tDo you know" said one of them to the other, "that if you hold your breath going down in an elevator you don't have that unpleasant feeling; you don t feel it at all !"
 Of course nobody in the elevator lis tened Intentionally, but nobody could help hearing what she said. Conversa- tion instantly ceased, and every body drew long breath. The elevator shot downward ill silence.
 ''Ground foorP said the elevator man as he threw back the door, and the women streamed out from the car upon the floor, talking now gayly, and there was one at least who said that the plan was effective.-New York Sun.

The Obligation Must Be SacredAy Kept.

 When "profane'" is admitted to the sacred circle of the fraternity, he enters voluntarily and of his own accord. He en- ters into a solemn compact with his mas ter, with his lodge and with the entire fraternity It is a compact, an agreement, Covenant, by which the practices of Masonry arc governed. It is promise to walk uprightly by the plumb of rectitude, to do and to forbear doing. This binds each member of the craft, and it is cord which holds them together.
 Tho art works of the late John Sartain are now on exhibition i'll tho library of the Masonic temple, Philadelphia.

 The grand lodge of Freemasons has re- elected the Prince of Wales for the twenty fourth year eonsecutively to be grand mas ter of the order in England.
 The grand lodge of Minnesota voted that the use in any Masonic hall or lodge room by any brother of any book purport- ing to give the secret or unwritten work of the three degrees if permitted by the worshipfui master, shall, on presentation of such fact to the grand master, be suf1i- cient cause for the arrest of the charter of the lodge in which the offense occurs.
 Masonry's teachings are imperishable truths, and the system of morality which constitutes it's foundation embraces every thing that is calculated to attract the su- perior mind.
 The grand lodge of Masons in Virginia has made arrangements to celebrate the centennial of the death of Washington Dec. Ii, 1899.
 Decisions made by tho grand master of Pennsylvania cannot be reviewed or chang ed by the grand lodge. There is no appeal.
 The name "Freelnason" appears for the first time in statute 25 of Edward l of England, in 1850. It signified one who worked in freestone as distinguished from the mason who built walls of rough stones.
 In Delaware warden cannot confer degree unless he be past master. In the absence of the master the senior warden, and succeeding him the junior warden, may open the lodge and transact the busl- ness, but if there is degree to confer ne must invite a past master to do it.

A Rebuke by General Washington That
 Evidently Frightened the Owner.
 Major William Pierce left behind him a partial record of the debates in Philadelphia which supplement- those of Madison, Yates and King; also the following aneedote:
 When the convention first opened at Philadelphia, there were number of propositions brought forward as great leading principles for the new govern ment to be established for the United States A copy of these propositions was given to each member, with an injuno- tion to keep everything q profound se- cret. One morning, by accident, one of the members dropped his copy of the propositions. which, being luckily pick ed up by General Miffiin, was presented to General Washington, our president, who put it in his pocket After the de- bates of the day were over and the ques- tion for adjournment was called for the general arose from his seat and, preyi- ous to his putting the question, address ed the convention ill the following man ner:
 "Gentlemen, am sorry to find that some one member of this body has been so negleetful of the secrets of the con- vention as to drop in the statehouse a copy of their proceedings, which by ac- cident was picked up and delivered to me this morning. l must entreat gen. tlemen to be more careful, lest our transactions get into the newspapers and disturb the public repose by premature speeuiations. I know not whose paper it is, but there it is (throwing 1t down on the table). Let him who owns it take it. , At the same time he bowed, picked up his hat and quilted the room with a dignity so severe that every person seemed alarmed. For my part, I was extremely so, for, putting my hand in my pocket, missed my copy of the same paper, but, advancing up to the table, my fears soon dissipated. l found it to be the handwriting of another per son. When I went to my lodgings at the Indian Queen, found my copy i'll a coat pocket which ] bad pulled off that morning. It is something remarkable that no person ever owned the paper. - American Historical Review.
