MASONS ARE PROUD
To Have the Finest Temple in the
South or West at Wichita

Wichita, Feb. 12.-Architect Ebert
Dumont now has a force of about four
teen men at work on the interior of the
Y. NJ. c. A. building, tearing out the
old partitions and rooms preparatory
to the complete refitting of the struc-
ture for the Scottish Rite bodies. They
are now at work on the old auditorium
part over on the west side of the build
5ng. This end of the hall is to be re-
fitted up for the preceptory of the Con-
sistory No. 2, and will be modelled on
the latest plans of Masonic architect
ure.
When completed an all the splendid
details Of the plans, the cathedral of
the rite in Wichita will be the very fin
est anywhere in the southern grand
Masonic jurisdiction, and this includes
all the large cities in the United States
south of Mason and Dixon's line and
west of the Missouri river. With one
possible exception, it will be the finest
and handsomest Masonic structure of
any kind in the United States, exclu-
sively given to their use. The one es-
ceptiOn is the Temple at Denver and as
matter Of fact the Masons no longer
really control that. This leaves Wfchi-
ia easily in the lead.

JAPANESE CIVILIZATION.

AS illustrating his claim that the
Japanese are a more civilized people
than the Americans, a gentleman at a
recent Boston dinner table cited Pro-
lessor Morse's statement that if, in a
japanese city, one picks UP stone
to throw at dog the dog does not
run, because he has never had stone
thrown at him, and does not know
what the action means. Manifestly, 1t
such a state of universal gentleness
and kindness prevails in japan that
not even stone is thrown at dog
by a boy, there must be very high
and thorough civilization, permeating
all classes of the population. This ar
gument may not be accepted as COM
plete by the sociologists, who would
doubtless maintain that it requires
something else than gentleness and
humanity to make civilization. But
certainly the fact is to be taken as an
excellent item of evidence in making
out "a case of high civilization for the
Japanese And it is a significant fact
that it was reserved for our own
European-American civilization to In
troduce the completest refinement OF
cruelty to administrator Transcript

assuring tone, Take this and you will

is settled.-Boston Globe.

OSCAR wILDE's WIFE.

With amazing wifely affection she
his release from Jail. She may or
may not have forgiven. But nothing
as it seems to me, could be more sub
lime than her willingness to forget
to begin again-tO bury the dead past
in an oblivious grave. | cannot
conceive of any more tremendous ex-
ample to the multitude of American
women who are forever seeking di-
vorces- many of them for reasons
which chiefly concern their own hot
tempers and scornful disregard of all
proper feminine patience. Here was
woman who had had to bear infinite
suffering. More than that, she had
been forced to confront infinite odium,
not only for herself, but for her two
young sons. And yet she consented
to crush down all feelings of outrage
and to go and live once more as his
wife with the man who had so
stormily darkened her days. Heroism
is a wor not strong enough to portray
the simple grandeur of her conduct.
And yet it was fated to achieve no re-
suits. Having at last firmly made up
her mind to rejoin her husband, she
experienced, in one side of her body,
on certain occasion, peculiar disturb
ing thrills. They we're the first
symptoms of that creeping paralysis
which now has her in its clutches,
and from which death is the only es-
cape. She is at the present time,
am told, a dying woman. Nothing
could we'll be more tragic than this
poor creatures life knew her
we'll as a beautiful young bride. She
adored her husband; there could not
then have lain shadow ON her life.
It is stated, by the way, that for the
past two years or so she and her lit
tie sons have borne the name of
Holland" She had almost begun her
journey to a place near Dieppe, where
Oscar Wilde was awaiting her, when
the fatal seizure occurred. On her
death he must indeed feel thot his MN

FAURE FOR CLEANLINESS.
He Upsets Provincial France With
His Demands for Bathtubs.

President Felix Faure devotes
special and unceasing attention to
cleanliness. He is doing more to
spread the use of the bathtub in
France than any other Frenchman OF
these or former times. "A Paris
correspondent says that whenever the
President goes for week or ten days
there must be a bath-house with all
modern improvements. He refuses
to stop even over night in a house or
hotel that has no bathroom. His hobby
for the bathroom is not a universal
institution in France as in this cOun-
try In fact, the provincial French
towns are as barren of private bath.
tubs as most prairie villages in this
country. Nevertheless the President
holds fast to the bathtub as condi-
ton precedent to his visit to any town
or castle.
In the Presidential palace in Paris
and in the castle at Fontainebleau, M.
Faure had elaborate bathrooms fitted
with the latest appliances and lux
uries. In the castle at Ramboillet last
year the President caused 100000
francs to be spent for bathrooms
which he might use during his three
or four weeks residence there.
The Presidents passion for cleanli-
ness has been source of much veXa-
ton and industry at all the provincial
procedures which he has visited since
succeeding M. Carnot. Usually on
his excursions through the land he
lodges at these procedures, and, as
nCne of them was provided with bath
rooms when he began his tours, there
has been a great bustling about to
make good the deficiencies. A large
bath-house was built last year at the
prefecture in Revnes, preparatory to
his brief sojourn there, and a similar
house was erected at the prefecture IN
Valence this year in anticipation OF
his visit. The vigor with which the
President is leading this movement
for bath reform is said to have
brought him many converts and to
have given the neglected bathtub in
dustry a great boom in the republic.

piece of gold military braid the length
and width required to go through the
rings; draw it through fastening it
at the end of the long strip, making
the two smaller ones separate. To
secure the two rings of the scissors
so as to allow perfect freedom when
using it, it is necessary to attach
two catches, such as are used on
watch guards to the end of the two
small pieces. This handy article is
not only secure and useful but gives

Abolish the RusheI

How nice it would be if the bushel
could be abolished and all grain sold
by the pound or hundred. The bushel
is obsolete, anyhow The bushel is an
ancient device, in use before weights
were heard of. before scales were in
vented, and it lis time to abolish it.
1t is abolished, in fact grain is
sold by weight, sold by the hundred,
but there is an awkward useless Gus
tom of reducing the hundred to a
term called the bushel worth so much,
which multiplied by the number gives
the value of SO many hundred pounds,
an absurd and devious way of de-
termining a very simple proposition
The Pacific States sell grain by the
hundred, sell everything by the
pourd, even eggs, and when the peo-
pie get accustomed to that system
they never dream of going back to
bushels, dozens and other antedilu-
Wan institutions On the hundred
pound basis the world could be
brought to uniform system of
weights for grain at least, but on the
awkward and obsolete bushel basis
is will never agree-Farm, Stock and

A PARROT STORY

Nobody knew where he had come
from. But the fact that he was there
was proved beyond a doubt by his
powerful and emphatic language, to
say nothing of the crowd which had
gathered to watch him.
He was first noticed about o'clock
last evening. He was perched in /
branch of a tree at the Boulevard and
Sixty-sixth street. Happy over his
freedom and proud of his escape, he
sat ON the branch and smoothed his
feathers.
''Hey, Roxy, get on to der parrot, :"
shouted young promising citizen.
''Oh, amt he a peach! Let's catch
him." answered the youth who went
by the name of Roxy. No objection
being made, Roxy started to carry out
his project. He climbed the tree, but
when half way out on the branch, he
appeared to change his mind and be-
gan to beat a retreat. The parrot had
watched his approach with apparent
uEcOncerh, until Roxy was within a,
few feet. Cooking his head ON one
side, he sided toward his would-be
capturer. Roxy, not to be bluffed,
stood his ground, but quick thrust of
the birds bill ratified him and, losing
his balance, he fell from the branch.
What tell! What tell! Ray for
the Irish!" shouted the bunch of green
feathers. Several bicyclists and other
passersby had collected, and they gen
erously volunteered information as to
how the parrots capture should be
effected
Hit him with brick, shouted one.
Don't be afraid of him. Stick your
finger up at him. He'll come down
them volunteered another who was
conspicuous by the distance which
separated him from the tree
AS no one cared to make any fur
ther attempts to catch him, the bird
sat still, with his head on one side,
watching Roxy, who stood rubbing his
head.
Here's a cop. He'll bring him
down. shouted one of the crowd as a
row of buttons started to round cor
ner.
Move on, there! What do you mean
by obstructing the streets?" and the
portly parsonage came to a halt.
A hundred voices shouted simultane-
ous1y as many different explanations
of the crowds presence, sprinkled with
a few choice remarks from the object
of their remarks. With more valor
than discretion the representative of
the law walked up to the tree and
shook it.
What tell" shouted the bird as it
flew from the branch and anchored to
the policeman's collar. A shout from
the policeman, shrek from the bird,
and a roar of laughter from the crowd
followed. During several seconds green
feathers and small punches of hair
filed the air. Finally the bird grew
tired and returned to his perch.
Leave him alone" said the police
man, turning around and dispensing
the crowd. Ray for the Irish!"
screamed the bird, smoothing soli-
tary feather on his head. AT late
hour last night the bird was still on
the tree.-Exchange

SCISSoRS-HOLDER.

Who has not longed for some per-
Eectly secure way to fasten the scis-
sors, so that they would not be for
Sver getting lost For if there is one
necessary article never on hand when
wanted it is the scissors. Ribbons
have been tried but they have been

fine idea for this purpose is here
illustrated. First procure forty-twc

around them with some pretty color
of crochet silk until the ring is COM
pletely covered. After they have all
been treated in this way, join them

Mold in Butter

Butter packed in tubs and held a
considerable length of time, either in
cold storage or otherwise, is very apt
to show mold on the tub, either on
the outside or inside, or both. No
matter how sweet and correct the
butter may be, such mold always
knocks the price obtainable off from
the top. To prevent this use tubs of
seasoned wood only, as the water
contained in green wood is exceed
ingly liable to be attacked by the fun
gus spores. To avoid this almost
entirely, soak a seasoned tub in brine
as usual and then sprinkle salt all
around on the inside, rub in with the
hand, turn the tub over the jar out
what is loose, leaving particles of salt
adhering to the inside and bottom.
Salt is death to mold growth if
enough is used.-Dr. Galen Wilson,
in Mass. Ploughman.

There is a discouraging outlook for
the drama in London. Most of the
theaters will be given UP to musical
comedy, which is a degree lower tina

coming season. This is the general

How many steers can pasture on an

that has never been answered to the
entire satisfaction of everybody.

has found that from three to four
acres of grass land was necessary
for each head of cattle. This spring
the company has 400 acres of three
year-old alfalfa, and after 400 head
of cattle have been grazed thereon
for some time it has been decided to
add another 400 head en- order to keen
