THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF
Address on rlasonry.

Prof. T. J. Alderman delivered an
address on Masonry in the Masonic
Lodge room Tuesday evening. After
the address an hour was devoted to
friendly intercourse and the time was
spent most pleasantly by those pre-,
sent. 1t is to be regretted that the
attendance was not larger. Those
who failed to hear Prof. Alderman S
really admirable address missed q
rare intellectual treat. The paper
showed careful thought and study
and was the subject of favorable
comment. 1t is not too much to say
that it was unquestionably one of
the very best in the series of good
| addresses the MasOns have been hav-
ing.
While Prof Alderman did not an
nounce any subject his theme was
Ancient Mystries and Modern Fra
ternity. That portion Of the address
relating to the Ancient Mysteries was
admirably illustrated by a series OF
carefully prepared drawings on
| the blackboard. The drawings illus
trated the careful system i'll use
among the ancient craftsmen to in
sure the perfection OF their work and
| to guard the owners of the structure
from imposition, etc. His presenta-
ton of Fraternity was sublime. The
appeal for the oppressed children was
one of the most beautiful and touch
ing that has been heard.
The GOLD LEAF regrets that it
cannot furnish IA complete synopsis
of this address-less than a complete
one would be unjust to Prof. Alder
man who had evidently spent much
time and labor in the preparation OF
it. Those who failed to hear it we
are sure missed one of the best ad:
dresses they will hear in long time

If the shade of Herr Gutenberg
could come back to earth when the
new government printing Office is COM
pleted and roam through the estab-
lishment he would note few changes
in the art of which he is the father.
The biggest printing shop in the world
will be established under the roof of
the mammoth building now nearing
completion on North Capitol street.
The printing bills of uncle Sam are
enormous. He is a great promoter of
publicity. He drives thousands of
men, day and night to turn out mil
lions of copies of every kind of printed
document from single leafiet to a
fifty-volume set of 600-page books. He
publishes daily journal during por-
ton of the year. He loads entire cars
with bulky documents and ships them
thousands of miles to ultimately glad
den the heart of the ragman. He runs
a bindery and turns out marvels of
leather and satin coverings. He has
an illustrated department and makes
maps and beautiful half-tone pictures.
And all of this work has been done
heretofore in ramshackle old shop
so shaky that every workman has kept
one eye on his case and the other on
the nearest exit. But there will be
no excuse for criticism in the new
building. 1t win be marvel of con.
venience, safety and equipment.

, HUNTERS WHO USE THE CAMERA.
A Pastime In the Woods That Some
times Furnishes Odd Surprises.

A Pastime in the Woods That Some
times Furnishes Odd Surprises.
The tribe of camera hunters has in
creased prodigiousiy of late years. The
craze has not penetrated the South,
where cameras are rare outside of big
towns, but widely spread In the North
and West
The camera hunter needs for outfit
fairly good instrument, some strings
to tie it in place, from twenty-five to
fifty feet CT rubber tubing and lot
of dry plates or films. His objects are
to get pictures of birds in air, birds
on nests, birds on perches, rabbit in
form, etc
Camera hunting mas merits, which
even old hunters do not deny. 1t is
practiced mostly In summer time with
nesting birds for subjects and does no
harm. 1t takes the camera hunter
into the field and teaches him the hab-
its of bird and beast.
1t gives him opportunity to acquire
a knowledge of the points of the com
pass so that he will not get lost in the
woods. Its successful pursuit requires
patience, ingenuity, industry and some
! endurance.
Flashlight pictures of deer on night
runways, of predatory fauna, foxes
minks, polecats and so forth about
chicken coops and duck roosts are in
teresting and instructive. Sometimes
they give unlookedfor illustrations Of
the habits of animals.
A camera hunter in southwestern
Wisconsin who had accused a fox o
stealing a lot of his young Indial
game chickens found one day, on tn
evidence of developed plate, that tn
thief was a woodchuck. Similarly
tame ferret has been discovered Of
his way to cut lot of fowls throat
instead of skunk which had bee
judged guilty.

THE wonlD.s SUPPLY OF GOLD.
some Interesting Statistics as to tho
Yellow Metal

some Interesting atsties as to tho
Yellow Metal
1t has been reckoned that in the de-
post of clay on which the city of Phil
adelphia now stands there Is sufficient
gold to gid the fronts of all the build
ings in the place. There the amount
is SO small that it has no more pros
pective value than that contained In
the sea water. Thus, while it may be
said that wherever person may be on
the surface of the EARTH or on the
ocean, there is likely to be enough gold
within a mile of his feet to make him
a millionaire, the places where gold
can be won at a profit are relatively
few
The most important increase that is
to be looked for in vein mining arises,
however, from the rapid Improvement
in the modes of applying power to such
work. The gain i'll this regard in the
last half century, through the inven-
ton of the power drills, more effective
explosives, better hosting systems and
more efficient methods of treating the
ores, is such that. on the average, in
terms of labor, it probably does not, at
present, cost one-third as much to
mine and treat a given amount of ore
from underground mines as it did in
1850.
Making no allowance for future inn
provements in mining, we may evil
IDENTIFY expect very great and rapid
increase in the annual supply of this
| precious metal from the betterment al
| ready effected. AS to the extent of this
| gain, there is no basis for trust
worthy reckoning; but those who have
some idea of the amount of gold bear
ing veins which can, with skillful min.
ing, be made to yield profit at the
| present rate of interest, will probably
be disposed to agree with me in the
opinion that, at anything like the pres
emit price of labor, the yield from this
group of deposits is likely within q
years to exceed $500,000,000 per an
nun.

MONEY LENDING IN THE sLUMs.
Poverty -StrIcken People Who Pawn
Their False Teeth.


An old woman lately residing in Bir-
mingham left over $1,000 to her nieces
and nephews, the money having been
earned in a peculiar fashion. Toward
her nelghbors she acted the part of
money lender and pawnbroker, poor
people visiting her from remote quar-
tiers of the town, the privacy of tran
sacting business in cottage appealing
to their inclinations. Willing was she
to lend small amounts on any articles
likely to be redeemed. Things that a
licensed pawnbroker would not accept
found an abiding place in her garrets.
The old lady was good any day for the
loan of shilling in the case of a
strang visitor whose trustworthy char
acter could be vouehed for by neigh
Dor. In this fashion she CLEANED riches
and, strange to say, escaped the atten-
tons of the police, says Tit Bits.
One of her regular patrons was fe-
male of Incorporate habits, who, with
the return of Monday morning brought
her false teeth to be cared for till the
Saturday. On these articles a crown
was willingly given. an extra six pence
being required when the grinders were
again needed. During the week the
teeth were of little use to the owner,
there being no meat to masticate until
wages came in. Lots of articles equally
popular, things that legitimate pawn
broker would not consider, were hand
ed over to the crafty old woman, who
always threatened to acquaint the
pledger's husband were the money and
interest not readily forthcoming.
