HISTORY OF MASONRY. Masonry covers a long period of ages, during which it has closely identified itself with history Famous men of all countries, men who made history woe numbered among the exponents and believers and with such influential su|port and yie solid foundation it. is built upon it will go on ad infinitum. Men may die, but its teachings and customs will find new soil, its rco s will take new hold. Originating back in the days of the building of King Solomon’s temple, the order has grown in each successive year, until now it numbers over 10,060 lodges with over a million members. Brittanic says: "If indeed the genuine lege ds of the craft were followed, the origin would be traced to the creation, the flood, or at least to the building of Solomon’s temple.’' AH classes and grades of people scattered throughout every nation of the World are embraced in this great order. Above all is paramount the requisite foundation for just government, morality and fraternal spirit. Masonry requires the votaries to practice virtue and brotherly love; it teaches benevolence and charity; it requires temperance, fortitude, prudence and justice: It teaches mercy, forbearance and kindness. It is founded on the Holy Wiit, but requires of no man neither creed nor religion. BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE. The great and grand temple of Solomon was built between the years 1012 and 1015 13. C. It was 1,925 feet square 180 eet high and 153 300 laborers were required in the construction. The crafts engaged in the work early saw that the different classes of workmen were divided into three classes according to their advancement in mechanical skill. Those of the lower or-first degree were the apprentices. Then came those admitted to fellowcraft, and last the master mason. Each class was designed by certain manners of wearing their garments and by tokens and signs by which they made themselves known to each other. The requirments and restrictions were rigid and none could enter the class wit hout being legally promoted. In this manner rhe classes were protected from impositions from their inferiors. At the time of its founding Masonary was divided into two classes, operative and speculative. The first were those engaged in the actual work of coinstructing the building and the latter were those who met in the lodge for instruction. At the present time we have only speculative Masons.

A curious fact brought out in these

researches is that wnilr King David ; Could not build the temple because |;is ! hands were.stained with the blood bl I, the wars the funds lie iiccuni'iluted in such ahis weie des'ined to come in o the possession of Ills eon S >|i>uion iip'.i" ’ whom devolved the diiti o erecting a tempi, to the Supreme t?emg.

A QUORUM OF CONGRESS. Much Business Transacted Without One. Privileges of Representatives. In "This Country of Curs,’’in The Century, ex-President Harrison gives this interesting view of the workings of congress: ‘‘A majority of each house-, under the Constitution, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present and that fact is disclosed by a yea and nay vote, business must stop until a quorum is secured. But the members present are empowered by the constifcutidnrfo adjourn from day today and ‘to compel the attendance of absent members, in such manner and under such penalties as each house may provide. ’ A great deal of business is done in both the senate and the house when a quorum is not prCseht, the absence of a quorum not being officially disclosed by a roll call. The sergeant-at-arms is not an infrequent attendant -at social receptions and dinners, but always an unwelcome one when he comes to demand the attendance of truant senators or mem! ers upon their respective houses. One-tilth of the members present may demand a vote bf yeas and nays, and the vote must be recorded in the journal which each house is required to keep of its proceedings. This journal does not include the debates, which are, however, published in full daily in The Congressional Record. “The senators and members are privileged from arrest, except for treason, felony or breach of the peace, while in attendance upon their respective houses and while going to and returning to the meetings of congress. A member may be punished by the house to which fie belongs for disorderly behavior, and by a two-thirds vote of the house may be expelled. ’ ’ A Great Medicine Given Away. Smith & Vallow are now giving free to al I a trial package of the great herbal remedy. Bacon’s Celery King. If ladies suffering from nervous disorders and constipation will use this remedy they will soon be free from the headaches and backaches that have caused them so much suffering.

•» - —I — HAPPENED lOfiONT. PLAYERS TELL OF FUNNY EXPERIENCES THEY HAVE HAD. — Effect Upon Actors of Interrupt loti* From I the Audience —The Man Who Sneezed. ! May Irwin and “The Widow Jones.' I Wanted Burr Mclntosh to “Soul. IJlin." ’ Players are affected almost as deeply : by happenings in the audit nee as is the audience by happenings on the stage. Sonietinies they are moved to wrath, but more frequently to laughter. Occasionally they are frightened out. of their lines. . A man sat in an aisle scat, three rowe i from the front, at a performance of “El tiie other night. lie was a fat man, amt-he-gave a sneeze suddenly—a terrific, sneeze. It was follower! Ly an other that shook the plumes on the big bats of the women around and nr.de the lights flicker. The audience suspended attention and looked at the sneezer, and the players paused just as he snorted out a third Sneeze that ended in a high note such as seldom had been heard in those parts, though the Metropolitan Opera House is near by. El Capitan stretched out his long arms toward the man, rolled his big eyes heavenward and said in a sepulchral voice: “Heaven bless you, sir.” This brought the audience back to the stage with a roar, and in a second the performance was running on at high pressure, while the fat man chuckled over the fact that for a brief space he had been the star of the evening. A few minutes later a Sun reporter asked Mr. Hopper how he was affected by the funny things that happen in the audience. After getting a grip on El Capitan’s nose and throwing down a cup cf hot coffee, as he does between acts, he answered: I “American audiences are net denionI strative, and as a rule things don’t liap- | pen in front. Os course the man who I sneezed tonight couldn’t help it, but he made such a blasting success of it that it affected the whole house and therej fore'the players. If an actor is playing a part where he can say something, it : is the best thing to do, for it makes them ! all laugh and keeps them from noticing a pause. ’ ’ May Irwin is an actress with whom even mt trppoli/un audiences ti ke liberties. “People have a habit of calling to .1 me from the audience whe u they want , me to sing a special song or to recite ; something,” she said the other evening. ' “One night a man in the body of the house called out to me to recite ‘Hiai watha.’ He look me off my feet for a minute. I couldn't,temenibir a line of it, but I called back: ‘I will if you’ll give me my cue. I’ve forgotten Lew it starts.’ He gave me the first line, and 1 shouted it for him. 6 \Vhcn I was playing the Widow Jone* one night, during the kissing j scene between Rice and myself a man ; shouted, ‘l'd like to be in yogr place, Mr. Rice. I would. ’ Rice and I were both convulsed, and the audit hce rc-aietj.

When the piece is fttuiiy, it often adds i to the humorous situation for some one ■ in front to do something 'unusual. I “I never shall forget an experience I had while playing the. Widow in Cincinnati, though <1 course for an actor to see anything that goes on in front or to recognize anybody in the audience, and I never do—l don't think. One fight, as I was saying, in the city of cinders and beer, I noticed the queerest looking old woman down in front. She looked like a farmer’s wife s and she kept peering v.p at me over her glasses. She didn’t laugh once, and in all my life I never saw a human being take a play so seriously. She was with another women who was equally serious. Finally the old woman jumped up mid, .peer’"ing at me over her glasses and shaking her linger in my face, said, with a rasp"»iug. western twang: “ ‘Well, you don’t look c&e bit like i her. ’ "I was flustered, bitt I managed to i gasp: i “‘Like whom?’ “‘Like the Widow Jones,’ she answered. “ ‘Well, I am, ’ said I. I “‘I don’t believe a word you're sayin,’ said she, 'for I know'd the Widow Jones and her husbau’ nigh on to 20 years ago. I flood up with ’em when they was hitched, and you don’t look her. She went off from these parts, aim I heerd she was a widow and that Jones was dead, and then I heerd she was at this the-ater, and J cum to see. You ain't the Widow Joues, and I just want to say one thing mere—l don’t see how you dare to take other people’s names and use ’em.’ “ With that she flounced out, but the next day when I appeared at a rehearsal she was on hand to give me another blast. I explained to her how it was. She'd never seen a play before and had come 20 miles to see her old frieud, the Widow Jones. There was a time when such things frightened the life out of me, but I’ve learned to turn them to gocxl account.” Perhaps there is not another man outlie stage so phlegmatic as Burr Mclntosh during unusual pccuYrences iu front. He Jays his coolness all to the training he got field when he was at Pnnceton. ‘‘l find more unexpected things happen ou the stage than in the audience, ” said Mr. Mclntoshs “However,-the.tirst night we opened iu ‘At Piney Ridge’ I got a pieee’of advice from the freiiL, 1 said to the villain, ‘You lef’ tlie" vel'onel’s baby up that, an you bruiig yo' owu down lieah. ’ And his liues follow: ‘You lie.’ I instantly make a movement as if to strike him; but, remembering that ladies are present, my arm drops to my side.* A man iu front was so infuriated with the heartless villain that he called out to me: ‘Soak him, Jack! Hit him a good one for hunk, ’ and theiThe" hissed like a mad gander.’’—New York Sun. —— .
