hearth. Other children of the family
were standing about the fire, when
the five-year-old brother of the dead
child. taking an iron poker from the
chimney corner, heated one end red
hot among the blazing logs and turn
ing to another child standing by
told him to raise the babys dress
and he (the child with the poker
would make him jump. The little
negro did as he was hidden and the
five-year-old planted the red-hot iror

LANDMARKS OF MASONRY.
Grand Master Says lntemperance and
Profanity are Contrary to Fun
damental Law of the Order.

A former grand master of Masons
delivered himself in unmistakable
terms concerning te use of intoxicants
and the traffic in the same; and the
grand master just retiring raises his
voice in rebuke and warning against
the profane swearer, and points out
that the persistent offender should be
expelled from the lodge. These dis
tinguished men are not offering any
innovation; they are simply standing
by the ancient landmarks. The swear
er lacks that much of being qualified
to enter a Masonic lodge, or of re-
naming. should he get in. He makes
mockery of the most solemn charge
that can be delivered or received. The
worlds moving, principles are at
work, the individual conscience is be,
coming awake, and the dawn OF the
day of hope is here.-Belton Journal

WILD GOOSE RANCH.
A Resident Of the State Of Washing.
ton Hatches Brood.

Spokane, Wash. Dec. 27.-What
might appropriately be termed "a
wild goose" enterprise is engaging
the attention OF A. j. Thompson. a
resident of Patterson. Wash. 1t is
new in this state and in the North
west and gives promise of being sue
cssful. Thompson is raising fowls
from the eggs of wild geese. The
first setting, which he found in a
nest on the river bank, was Matched
under a common hen, which raised the
brood to an age when the birds could
take care OF themselves. That is
when Thompsons troubles began, as
the geese sought the society of their
natural companions and half the flock
answered the call of the wild before
the exodus was stopped. He hopes
that future hatchings will become do
mesticated.
