Outside of England and her colonies the
development of Masonry was by no means
rapid, but the church early took the
alarm, and III 1913 Clement XII. condemn
for this was alleged except It's secrecy
and that under its rules men of all re-

suspicious of evil, wherefore all members
incur accommodation removable only by
the pope, and all bishops are instructed
to prosecute and punish them as vehe-
mently suspect of heresy. As the parle-
ment of Paris refused to register this bull,
it could scarce accomplish much outside
of the papal states, except in Spain, but
within them it was rendered effective by
edict of the cardinal secretary or
state. Jan. Il, 1873, pronouncing irremiss-
ibIa' fai2 of death, not only on all menu
bers, but on all who tempt others to
join or favor the society in any way, such
as leasing a house for its use. This was
a declaration of war to the knife, al
though the only victim of the death pen

Queer Kinds of Bread.

The Mexicans make bread of the eggs of three kinds of insects. For this pur- pose the natives cultivate in the lagune of Chalco a sort of carex, on which the insects readily deposit their eggs. The eggs, after being separated from the bundles of floating carex, are then cleaned and sifted, put into sacks like four, and sold to the people for making a kind of cake or bread, called "hautle," which forms tolerably good food, but has fishy taste, and is slightly acid. Bread has been made from wood and sawdust. In Kamchatka pine or birch bark, well macerated, pounded, and baked, frequently constitutes the na- tive bread. The Icelander scrapes the Iceland moss off the rocks and grinds it into fine flour, which serves both for bread and buildings. In Africa pow dered dry locusts are mixed with four for bread, and during the Indian famine small stones are said to have been ground and mixed with meal for bread. On the western shores of England cer- tain kind of seaweed phorphyra lacin- iata) is gathered, washed, boiled and then baked with oatmeal four for bread

The new book by Henry James, "The Soft Side," Is not a novel, as has been reported, but a collection of the au- thor's typically longer short stories.
 Gilbert Parker has lately completed the first novel he has written in more than two years. It Is called "The Lane That Has No Turning and, like so much of his work, it deals with life in Quebec.
 Robert Barrett Browning, it is re- ported, Is engaged in carrying cut long-cherished ambition of his fathers that of restoring to Asolo the silk mills that Browning made memorable in "Pippa Passes"
 Mrs. Wharton's new novel, upon which she is now at work, will bear the title of "The Valley of Decision" It will portray the general spectacu- lar pageantry of life in northern Italy in the eighteenth century.
 Literary Paris is much agitated by the problem of deciding whether the copy of "L Ami du Peuple," stained with the blood of Marat, now exhibited in the exhibition, is really genuine. A Parisian paper discussed the question a short time ago and has elicited the statement that there are in existence at least eight genuine" copies similar ly stained, to say nothing of one or two books.
 The announcement that Joel Chand- Ter Harris has retired from newspaper work in order to devote his whole time to story-making gives a special inter- est to his new book. "On the Wing of Occasions" The stories (one nov elette of 3O,OOO words on 'The Kid mapping of President Lincoln'O all deal with ''unwritten history" of civil war times, without any actual fighting, but introducing many details of the elab- crate secret service. The volume is perhaps chiefly notable in adding an- other irresistible character to those i'm perishable figures like Uncle Remus and Aunt Minervy Ann, which MT. Harris has already given us. Billy Sanders, the old Georgia countryman who goes to kidnap the President, has supply of funny stories which rivals Lincoln's own and his shrewd, homely humor is most characteristic.

EEOnDmiZinr Fuel.

There are many good housekeepers who are indifferent in the matter of saving small coal and cinders. Unseen waste goes on in most houses in this re. spect. If housekeepers would make it point to see that all cinders and ashes are thoroughly sfted daily. they would be surprised at the fuel they would save.
 After the cinders have been removed cold water should be poured over them. This causes them to make much better fuel when mixed with coals Better and safer fires can be kept up in bed rooms than with coal alone. safer be- cause with cinders there is no danger of sparks flying about.
 The best kitchen fire is made by put ting coal in front, banking up cinders behind and then leaving the fire alone. To be constantly stirring a fire takes all the life out of the coals and also starts" the dust.-St. Louis Post-Dis- patch.

ing Appearance.

This story is told in Denver of man who was once a leading merchant there. In the early days of the city he walked its streets, out of work and money. He was poorly clad, but neat and clean. He sought employment from prosperous grocer and said he was willing to do anything. The mer- chant at length sent him into his eel lar to clean out a room so foully dirty that many a common laborer had re- fused to enter it. When the young man appeared in the evening. he was as neat in his appearance as he had been in tIe morning. Of course the merchant thought he had done little or nothing. But when be saw the cellar, clean and fresh. he said to the young man:
 You've not only shown that you are willing to work. but also that you have some respect for yourself. l guess I'll give you job.'
 This young man, who in a few years became the head of the selfsame busi- ness. realized the important fact that the worker is often scrutinized as close ly as his work
 It is mans duty toward his fellow man to dress as we'll as he can afford to. Nowhere in nature does the poorly dressed man find any excuse for his lack. Even the lowest forms of animal and plant life are clothed in pleasing colors.
 Reptiles crawl in richly mottled skins; beasts of burden and birds of prey are clad in fur and gay plumage. Trees blossom in wonderful foliage, and that most plebeian of vegetables. the onion, revels below the ground in colors that artists seek to initiate and above ground in a leafage and bloom odd and beautiful
 Everywhere in nature beauty is com. bined with use. It remains for man, the highest and noblest specimen of the Creators handiwork. to be the daub in the color scheme of the universe.- Weekly Bouquet.

By G:45 most of the captains had reached the flagship, been received on the deck by the admiral and usher ed below. Next the Duke of Edin- burgh arrived. The admiral received him, and, keeping him in conversation, continued to pace the deck. All subse- quent arrivals were duly ushered be- low to the saloon, but still the admiral kept the duke on deck At last it oc- cured to the duke that the dinner hour had been passed, and he ventured to inquire if his host was waiting for anybody.
 "Yes." replied the admiral, q am waiting for the captain of the -"
 Instantly the duke took the hint, call ed for a boat and made posthaste for his own ship. He alone among the captains of the fleet had turned up in multi, forgetting or not knowing, that the dinner was official On his return to the flagship in the quickest time on record and in full uniform the gallant but inf1exible admiral was still pacing the deck, and deprecating his royal highness' profuse apologies conducted him to dinner.

 Long-Lost Brother.


 Long-Lost Brother.
 During the Macon (Ga.) street fail one of the attractions was a wild man who ate raw meat and was bound in chains.
 The wild man has been at his business so long that he understands it quite thoroughly, and now he thinks he ought to have better wages. To the public he never says a word, but he talked some good plain English to his employers the other day. He intimated that he would form a wild mans union if necessary to get higher wages. His employers undertook to tell him who he was and to remind him that he was in their pow CT, but he swore in all the oaths pc culiar to the wild mans vernacular, de- claring that he would quit being wild and become civilized before he would continue to eat raw meat and wallow around at the end of steel chains in a hot pit for $1.5O a day. It was finally agreed that he could have So day, and he went back down into the pit and is now wilder than ever
 A4o pl1 " Ilu llltA AdS OIOlU- CT who has for some time been wander. ing about in civilization, and a roman tic meeting occurred between the two. They didn't fall on each others necks and weep. The civilized brother paid his dime to see the wild man, not dreaming that he was to see his own long-lost brother. After gazing into the pit for few minutes, his eyes resting on the raw meat and huge steel chains rather than on the creature so securely bound, he looked at the well-advertised wild man. He started as if about to scream. Then he caught the wild mans eyes, and they recognized each other. They both broke out in a big ha hal the wild man laughing just like his civil. ized brother.
 The management did not allow the two to get together, but hurriedly eject ed the civilized brother. As the wild man had'just received a raise of 50 cents day, he was satisfied to let his brother continue to wander in the walks of civilization.

 As we grow older," remarked the man who vas doing that at the rate of a week every seven days, i've begin to observe that we seem to need more light when we read or that the print of the newspaper that we have been reading with ease for ever so many years is not quite as good as it used to be, or that we can distinguish the let terS little better if we hold them far ther away than usual, but we are very slow indeed to observe that the real cause of it is that we are growing old, and we rather resent the suggestion of some kindly friend that we need glasses.
 We resent glasses especially be- rause they are the visible sign of our weakness, and all the world may know by them what we fondly think they have not yet liscovered-to wit, that our eyesight is failfng. I am that way myself, or was, and stood the glasses off as long as I could, and really could get along very well reading all most any type. Of course, could not make out every letter, but I could get enough to complete the word, and of tentimes I could supply whole words that were indistinct by the sense of what l was reading.
 Put it was the figures that got me down at last. An, those figures! There is no context there. and when 1 saw dates or numerals of any kind the blur of the years shut out all their outlines, and to save me I could not tell what was before me. I made mistakes so often in reading aloud to my wife that she would laugh at me, though she never caught me on the letters, not withstanding many was the time l guessed at about half I was reading. But figures would not stand any fool ing like that, and at last I acknowl- edged that it wasn't the type or the paper or the light or anything of that sort ,aid gTd myself a pair of glasses.

Th0 Magic Lantern.

How many of us while using magic lanterns have wondered how they were first made? Indeed they are of very respectable antiquity. AS early as the seventeenth century a Jesuit named Kircher constructed one. It was very crude affair, and as he was not unwilling to excite the fears of the persons who witnessed his exhibitions he called 1t a magic" lantern, and so it has always been called
 There are reasons to believe that the lantern was in use even earlier than the seventeenth century and that the mysterious figures which the old as- trologers produced in the smoke of their mystic fires were produced in the same way as Kircher produced his, the smoke hiding the lantern.

Some Things that Show Their Superior

Intelligence.
 There are good many ants of differ ent varieties on the lot at my country place near Coyington, and last year I began to make a systematic study of their habits. I found it a most fascin- ating pursuit, and have resumed it with much enthusiasm during several visits this year. A little investigation will convince almost anybody, think, that the ant approaches nearer to man in point of intelligence than any of the lower animals. Some of the things I have seen are so marvellous that would hesitate to speak of them if sim liar wonders had not been fully record ed by trained scientists.
 Near one of my fiowerbeds is colony of small red ants that are extremely industrious in collecting food, and they frequently perform the most astonish- ing engineering feats in transporting heavy burdens to their homes. Not long ago 1 watched party of about dozen that had found the body of a small spider, and were dragging it toward the nest. The spider had hairy legs, which struck out in every direction and caught on obstacles, greatly retarding progress. For several minutes the ants rolled away with their awkward booty, and then stopped and seemed to hold council. A minute fragment of dry leaf was lying on the ground; presently they all laid hold and pulled the spider on top of it. They then seized the edges and slid it along without difficulty.
 On another ocasion I saw large body of these same ants start out for raid on another colony. They marched like an army, with scouts thrown out at the sides, and, when several feet distant from the nest, divided into two parties. One kept straight on and was soon en- gagged in fierce combat with the other tribe, while the second detachment made detour and fell upon the hill from the rear. The result was a great victory for the invaders.
 Anybody that feels interested in the subject, and that will put in a little time at close study, will be certain to witness exploits fully as astonishing as those l have described.-Times-De Demo- crat.

Count Isaac de Camondo is the owner of a white marble clock, which is said to be worth $50,000. It is called the clock of the "Three Graces." The graces are connected by festoons of flowers, surrounding a broken fiuted pillar, which serves as the base of two-han- dled vase decorated with festoops of oak leaves. This vase contains the works of the clock, to the dial of which one of the nymphs is pointing with her finger. The count will bequeath the clock to the Louvre.-Kansas City Jour nal
