glorious Architect Of heaven ana

duties OF morality.
MORAL QUALIFICATIONS
The moral qualifications OF a can
didate are, that he shall neither
be an atheist, an intidel, nor an
irrcligious libsrtine; that ne
must practise the four cardinal
and the three theological virtues;
he must be an humble believer
in the wisdom, power and good
ness of God, because this con-
stitutes the religious creed OF
Freemasonry, and acts as a
check upon vice, and q stimulus
To virtue,
MORAL PHILOSOPHY, Tho
moral philosophy OF the Order
refers to Him whose injunctlons
to his creatures are peculiarly
applicable to the performance OF.
Christian duty. 1t teaches that
wa owe d duty to God, which in
cludes reverence for his name
and attributes, vereration for his
sacred character, and obedience
to his Just commands. Vt speaks
of a duty TO our neighbour; with
whom We are directed to act OH
the square in all the transactions
of life, 1t inculcates u duty TO
ourselves. We are expected to
cultivate self-knowledge and self
respect, For this purpose an
Iattention to the four cardinal
virtnes is recommended, as well
las the practice of every moral
and social duty. Prudence should
direct us; Temperance. should
chasten us; Fortitude supportus;
and Justice be the guide Of all
our actions. And in the course
prescribed for the regulation 81
our conduct, we are directed to
maintain in their fullest splen-
dour those truly masonic orna-
ments. --Benevolence and Chair

MORALITY. The morality Of

Just dues or rights. But it goes

The Poor Little Fellow.

The street Arab lives by his wits, if
he lives at all well. Two youngsters
who peddle cough drops on Chestnut
street have learned this thoroughly.
One of these boys is much larger than
the other, and a crowd was attracted
TO the corner of Ninth and Chestnut
streets the other day to see the big
boy pummeling the little boy. AT the
proper time the big one disappeared,
leaving the little one surrounded by
sympathetic onlookers. Several per-
sons, plying the poor little fellow"
gave him nickels and pennies.
The sequel showed that the poor lit
tie fellow" was in league with his sup
posed tormentor. No sooner had the
crowd dispersed than the big boy came
along for his divvy. The scene was re-
peated several times, always with the
same result.-Philadelph Times.

DIAMOND BACK TERRAPlN.


Formerly Despised. They Are Row
Considered = Delicaoy.
Half century or so ago diamond
back terrapin were fed to slaves and
hogs. Today they are the rarest deli
cacy known to the cplcurian world,
says the Philadelphia North American.
Then they sold for 81 barrel, and
laborers, when hiring out, specified
that they must not be compelled to eat
terrapin more than twice week. To-
day barrel is cheap at $500, and mil
lionaires travel hundreds Of miles for
a chance to feast ON this most deli
cious of all meats.
OF course this means genuine dia-
mond backs. There are many imita-
tons.
Every first class restaurant In the
country features ''terrapln Ia Mary
land on its menu. but In not one case
out of hundred is the real terrapin
served. The diner regales himself on
what he believes to be Marylands
choicest dish. Instead he is merely
eating fresh water turtles, "sliders" or
North Carolina goldens."
The reason is simple. Restaurateurs
don't serve real diamond backs be-
cause they can't get them. The worlds
total terrapin population does not ex-
coed $4,000 Of legal size, and these are
confined to the shores of the Chesa-
peake bay, the only place that produces
them.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York enjoy monopoly. These three
cities get practically the entire output,
but few ever find their way across the
Blue Ridge. The epicure unfortunate
enough to be born in Chicago or st.
Louis must either come east or fOrego
the joys Of terrapin.
To select real diamond back anna
tours should be guided by these distin-
gushing and characteristic markings:
1t is of greenish, dark olive color.
sometimes running to spotted gray,
yellow on the plate which surrounds
the shell and has concentric dark
stripes along the plate on both shells.
The sides of the head are dirty white,
sprinkled with small black spots. The
bottom shell is Of whtish yellow.
The males are much larger than the
females and have the concentric streaks
much better defined. The female has
the more delicate flesh. The male can
be distinguished by his toe nails, which
are much longer than those of the fe-
male.
