reception given last evening in st.

of Mary Society, the receipts, which are
to go to the rectory fund. must have been
encouraging. This society is composed OF
the young ladies of the church. About a
year ago it was organized. 1t never at
tempted such a large event before.
The success of the euchre was beyond
all expectations and the young ladies feel
highly gratified with the result Of their
undertaking in the interest of the rapidly
progressing parish. When play began,
about nine o'clock, at least sixty tables
were occupied, every available bit of
space being utilized. Many who came
late were forced to content themselves
with dancing, which Immediately follow

One feature of a circus that is given
consideration and which is entitled 70
more tina passing notice, is the educa-
tional value thereof, aside from its amuse-
ment allure A child is sent to school
and the average youth or y%oungster finds
as most interesting the study of natural

is amused by the Iilliputian monkey; it
marvels at the consciousness of the ele-
plant, and worries over the p~ronouncia-
lion of "hippopotamus'' and srhinoceros.
Al teacher will vouch for the statement
that one object lesson is of more value
than a hundred book lessons. The mem
agerie of a big circus affords the only
possible opportunity for a child to study
in life the animals whose pictures they
are wont to see in their schoo books.

IT is satisfactory to see that at last
vigorous legal proceedings are being
brought against the Christian Science
homicides in several sections, and the OUT
look Is good for an energetic crusade for
their suppression.
The absolute idiocy of this craze has
never been surpassed In the annals OF
human folly. And no other outbreak OF
semi-religious charlataniem has ever been
SO unblushingly sordid. These people kill
not out of fanaticism, but for dollars and
cents.
Thu laws against the practice of medi-
cine by unlicensed persons should be en-
forced against them insevery case wherein
they appear, with unsparing rigor. When
death results from their action in place
of regular physicians, they and those who
aid and abetstheir action should be prose-
euted for -manslaughter, and should re-
ceive severe sentences.

ing this season has been 1.-THE Head of
the Family" which he presented early in
the winter at the Knickerbocker Theatre
in New York, and it is this play which he
will present. The work is in three acts
and has all of its scenes laid in Gotham.
1t is a play of comic and serious pur-
port, and is said to be exceptionally
bright in its dialogue. 1t possesses one
strong dramatic situation, and this comes
out at the close of its second act. The
part played by Mr.. Crane is that of Pro-
fessor Thomas Holden, a meek, mild
hammered old fellow, who is content to
allow his wife to run the household as
long as she does not disturb him with
his fads. The actor is said to present a
delightful portrait of this old fellow. The
sale of seats opens Thursday.

That decidedly original ~farcical drama
in three acts, lyon Yonson,' opened a
weeks engagement at the Bijou Theatre
last night and was presented to a packed
house. The piece delighted those who saw
it. It promises a most successful week.
The house was in roars of laughter save
was added, which made the whole most
agreeable and pleasing.
The play deals with the fortunes of the
homely. %ungainly, but thoroughly honest
and big-hearted Yon Yonson, who is a
lumber man in the employ of Amos Jen-
nings. Jennings has appropriated a ma
chine which was invented by 0 father.
The inventor intrusted the machine to
Jennings to keep for his daughter Grace,
whom Jennings has adopted. An attempt
by Holloway to force Jennings consent
to his marriage with Grace shows Hollo-
ways villainy and the true state of
affairs. Yon's education completed and
his fortune assured he wins the girl of
his choice, Jennie Morris, the vivacious
girl. who is forced to sell books because
of the reverses of her father.
Ben Hendricks as the Yon Yonson of
the piece is excellent. The character Is
consistent throughout n an excellent
as portrayed by this acton. Edward
j. Mack as Amos Jennings does very well,
and Jas. H. Bradbury as John Holloway
is yillainous enough to suit any one.
Beatrice Norman makes an excellent
Jennie Morris and is the life and spirit
of the play. Belle Francis does well as
Grace Jennings, the adopted daughter, in
whom o. discovers his sister. Annie
Berlin is a very fine Mrs. Latin,
the flirting hotel proprietress.
The scenery is very fine. 1t adds great
lv to the play.

Beefsteak is not generally consider
ed dish for dinner but we must have
a variety of meats and we fully agree
with Byron when he says: Man is a
carniverous production and wants meat
at least one meal a day; and cannot
live like woodehucks upon suction. but
like sharks and tigers lives on prey"
Nothing is so pleasing to the senses
as the fizzle and odor of the juicy beef
steak; so likewise there is no meat
so unsavory and unpalatable if not
properly cooked The following which
Shakespeare puts into the mouth OF
one Macbeth, well known butcher of
Scotland in the time of King Duncan,
would apply TO the cooking of steak
IF it were done. when It's done. then
'twere well it were done quickly"
Dreamed Potatoes-At this season OF
the year one is so apt to have a quaint
ity of small sized potatoes in the house
and here is a good way to dispose OF
them. Take as many of the potatoes
as are needed and allow about half
a pint of milk, one tablespoonful OF
butter, one tablespoonful Of corn
starch and a small pinch of salt. Mois-
ten the corn starch with about quar-
ter Of cupful of the milk. place the
rest of the milk on the fire and when
scalding add the corn starch mixture.
Cook again until scalding hot, set on
the back Of the fire and add the butter
and salt; this Is the cream dressing
for the potatoes. Peel the potatoes
perfectly and boil them until tender,
then drain and pour over them the hot
dressing and sprinkle with salt and
pepper.
Orange jelly makes very pretty az
we'll as palatable dessert. Cut hole
in the top of as many oranges as you
intend serving at dinner. Remove all
the pulp of the orange with a spoon,
but take care not TO break the skin.
Then use the juice in preparing some
gelatine, sweeten to taste. and when
the gelatine gets cool and little stiff.
pour into the orange skins. set away
in a cool place to harden and just be-
fore serving cut the orange skins in
quarters half way down and separate
a little to show the gelatne.

DEMONSTRATION.

I will now demonstrate the Attn
problem of Euclid. The 47th problem
of Euclid is this: In every right angle
triangle the sum of the squares of the
base and the perpendicular, is equal to
the square of the hypOthenuse.
The square of a number is the pro-
duct of that number multiplied by it.
self Thus 4 is the square Of 2, and 9
of 3, and the first ten numbers are l,
2, 8, 4, 5, 6. Z 8, 8, 10, their squares are,
l, 4, 8, 16, %, SO, 40. 81, 81, 100. and the
difference 8, 5, Z, 9, II, Is, Is, II, 10,
give us the sacred numbers 8, 5, 7, 8.
1t may be necessary to give some ex-
PLANTATION of the words Sacred Num-
bers." To go into that matter thor
oughly would take up the whole even
ing. | shall therefore merely state
that the symbolism which was derived
from numbers was common to the
Pythogorians and Kabbalists and all
mystical associations. illusions are to
be found to it in all systems of relig-
ion, the Jewish script abound in it, and
the Christian show a great amount of
its influence. 1t is not therefore sur
prising that the most predominant of
all symbolisms in Free Masonry is
that of numbers; that of 8. is the most
sacred of numbers in Free Masonry. It
takes three persons TO form a lodge,
there are three symbolic degrees, three
principal offices, three greater and three
lesser lights, three movable and three
immovable jewels, three principal ten
cts, three ancient Grand Masters, etc.
Five persons are required to form a
I'D
steps, five orders of architecture, five
human senses, five points of fellowship
geometry is the fifth science, etc.
There are seven steps, seven liberal
arts and sciences, seven entered ap-
prertices, etc.
Nine derives its value from its being
the product of three multiplied by it
self. a triple tragic has nine points.
and nine is esteemed as a sacred num-
Der in the higher degrees.
Of these numbers the square of three
and four added together gives the
square of FIVE and in the same proper
ton six and eight give ten.
If a right angle triangle be formed
whose perpendicular be three parts and
whose base is four parts, its hypotenuse
will be five parts. The Egyptians ar
ranged their deities into triads. the
Father or the Spirit, or productive prin-
ciple or generative power. The Mother
or Matteror. the passive principle or
conception, the Son issue or product
the Universe proceeding from the two
principles. Spirit and Matter. The
same is Osiris, Iris. and Horus.
The Egyptians compared the Uni
verses nature to what they called the
most beautiful triangle. which Plato
calls the nuotiai diagram. Three is
the number which is composed of even
and odd and four is the square whose
sides are equal to the number two. but
five being generated out of the preced-
ing numbers, two and three. may be
said to have an equal relationship to
both OF them as to its common mar
