We fleet Upon the Level and We Part
Upon the Square.

Upon the Square.
We meet upon the Level. and we part upo
the square:
What words OF precious meaning those
words Masonic are;
Come, let US contemplate them; they are
worthyof thought;
In the very wal S Of Masonry the sentiment
is wrought.
We meet upon the level, though from every
station come,
The rich man from his palace and the poor
man from his home;
For the rich must leave his wealth and state
outside the Mason door,
And the poor man finds his best respect
upon the eheckered floor.
We act upon the Plumb--'tis the orders OF
of our Guide;
We walk upright in virtues way and lean to
neither side;
Tn All-Seeing Eye that reads our thoughts
doth bear us witness true;
That we still try to honor Godand give each
| man his due
We act upon the Plumb, for the world must
have its due;
We minge with the multitude faithful
band and true;
But the influence of our gatherings in mem
ory is green.
And we long upon the Level to renew thu
happy scene.
There's world where all are equa'-we ar
hurrying toward it fast;
We shall meet upon the level there whel
the gates of Death are passed;
We shall stand before the Orient, and on
Master will be there
To try the blocks we offer with His own un
erring Square.
We shall meet upon the Level then. bu
never thence depart;
There's Mansion-'tis all ready for eaci
trusting, faithful heart
There's Mansion, and welcome, and {
multitude are there,
Who have met upon the Level and been
| tried upon the Square,
Let us meet upon the Level, then, while
laboring patient here
Let us meet and let us labor, though the
labor be severe;
| Already in the Western Sky the signs bid us
prepare
To gather up our Working Tools and part
/ upon the Square.
Hands round, ye faithful Brotherhood. the
bright fraternal chain,
We part upon the Squsre below to meet in
Heaven again,
What words of precious meaning those
words Masonic are,
We meet upon the Level and we part upon
the Square.

this morning for Santa Rosa Island
where they will pitch their tents and
for the coming week will be kept hard
at work at various maneUvers.
This is the first time that actual
camp practice has been performed at

ceived from the war department in
stEucted that the men be given a little
work in mimic war fare and Santa
Rosa island was selected as the best
point TO conduct the work. Il is sup
POSED that sham battles, attacks, ETC.

week. During yesterday and Satur

BACK TO NATURE

Natural Food for the Old Danes Use.
For 8 months Grape-Nuts was my
almost sole food writes New York
City woman.
Il had become a complete wreck,
so to speak, had no appetite or relish
for any kind Of food, lost flesh, dread
ed the simplest daily tasks and was
dragging out a most wretched exist
ence.
'The Grape-Nuts food took hold of
me at once, renewing all the vigor OF
my nature, and my work became a
pleasure to me instead of a hardship.
This was 4 years ago, and this happy
condition has remained. except when,
al times, have left OFF Grape-Nuts.
Whenever l did so, Nature speedily
brought me back to the health-giving

of renewed health" Name given By

A Pair 81 coadIera.

A man with q curious fOndness for
skuilcaps was the Able de st. Martin,
who, in the seventeenth century, made
himself ridiculous by his vagaries. He
always wore nine OF these articles to
keep of the cold and, furthermore, nine
pairs Of stockings. His mode of pass
ing the night was more remarkable
StiT. He caused to be constructed for
himself a bed Of Ficks, beneath which
was furnace, 50 arranged that he
could regulate it to the degree Of
warmth he might require, and his bed
was fitted with only very small open
ing, through which the able used to
creep when he retired to rest at night.
Even more ludicrous was the con-
trivance which the great French mathe-
matician, Fourier, designed and used
for the protection of his health. He in
cased himself in species Of box, the
interior Of which, by some mechanical
means, was kept at the only tempera-
ture at which he felt he could live with
out inconvenience. While enveloped in
this clumsy affair he was necessarily
confined to one spot, but he provided
means for the freedom Of his head and.
hands. Even the ills Of asthma and
rheumatism, one would have thought.
were preferable to existence under such
circumstances as this, but the French
mathematician, we must believe, was

A sHlP. WORTH TAKING.
What the Capture OF the San PHILIPPE
Meant to England.


On the 9th of June, 1887, Drake, COM
ing back from "singeing the king Of
SPANS beard in Cadig," fell in with a
huge vessel, which he captured She
proved to be the San PHILIPPE, an East
Indiaman owned by the king OF Spain
himself and then the largest merchant
man afloat. @
Her cargo, valued at more than a mil
lion sterling of modern money, was in
itself the most valuable ever captured,
but there was something else even
more valuable than the. cargo. This
consisted of the ships papers and &C
counts, which disclosed to the mer-
chant adyenturers Of England sill the
methods and mysteries and the bound
less possibilities of the East India
trade.
Indeed, it would hardly be stretching
the facts to say that the morning which
saw the capture Of the San PHILIPPE saw
also the dawn of our Indian empire.
The immediate result was the forma-
ton Of the East India company, which
was not only the greatest commercial
corporation the world had ever seen,
but also the only one that ever COM
manded its own armies and fleets and
welded powers Ittle less than impe-

WANT BRIDGE OVER.
ESCAMBIA RIVER
RESIDENTS OF SANTA ROSA
ANXIOUS TO BE ABLE TO
REACH PENSACOLA
MARKETS.

For some time past the residents
of Santa Rosa county, especially
those residing in the northern part
Of the county, have been anxious
that a bridge be constructed at some
point near McDavid which would
allow them to reach the Pensacola
market with their products, but for
some reason the Santa Rosa Com
miSSioners do not sem to favor the
project The Escambia County Com
missioners have, for some time, been
ready to do their part towards the
construction of a bridge connecting
the two counties, but the matter has
never been brought up in such shape
that action could be taken. A bridge
over the Escambia river is badly
needed and residents On both sides
of the river still hope that some
agreement for its construction may
be reached in the near future.
