But the rigorous freemasons won't tell. Are they bound by some frightful oath not to reveal the secrets of their caste? Do traitors and informers among them suffer dreadful penalties?

 1. Won't allow them to receive com pany.
 B. Exacts too many different duties from them.

The Death of Barkis

From David Copperneld,
 "Barkis, my dear" said Peggotty- bending over him-'here's my dear boy my dear boy, Master Davy. who brought us together. Barl1is: that you sent messages by. you know. Won't you speak to Master Davy?"
 He was a mute and senseless as the fox, from which his form derived the only expression it had He was a mute and senseless as the MT Peggotty to me, behind his hand

The washing of the hair is especially important now that the hair Is worn flat. and hair not properly washed might just as well not be washed at all. Pari- sian beauty doctors are using a hair washing paste. the foundation of which is powdered soap You cover the powder with boiling water, add some borax and orris root with little sachet powder of vour favorte scent and you are ready to begin. When fl Is all of a bubble. you take 1t off the fire and stir in some whole oatmeal. When it cools it Is ready for use: if very high per fume is desired some oil of rose geran- inm Is added.

The New Water Kiss
 Fountain

A sanitary public drinking fountain called "The Kiss of Life" and designed to replace the old Cup of Death" which has been leglslated out of existence in New York. has been invented by young Chicago sculptor. The new drinking fountain takes the form of an upturned sculptured face from the lips of which the water bubbles as from a bubbling cup The head rises from a carved stone or marble chaliee and from the lips each thirstly passerby may obtain what the young sculptor describes as a water kiss" Popular Mechanics publishes a picture of the new fountain. which can be reproduced in stone or cast In metal to suit local requirments.

act for themselves, not only politically but socially.
 "Diffidenee and shyness of girls in lovmaking Is a subterfuge-a part of the present social teachings. When women are taught to learn or act naturally their present false modesty will fall away and they will. do the proposing as they ought.
 Among the Zun Indians it is the boy who is so-called modest. diffident and shy. This is plain, for there he leaves his own home when married just as the girl does here, the wife being then the property owner. She controls the house and lands and directs the business affairs of the family
 And be 1t known that the Zuni women are extremely modest and virtuous and they would afford fin this respect very good example for the American women."
