The Triple Link thians, Knightly Py« | % | The Free Masons, | THE The return of LININGER RECEPTION Past Grand Master Lininger from Europe and Palestine, where he has been during traveling the past year was quite an event among the Musonic fraternity for whose welfare, Brother Lininger has always sianifested such a interest. On Monday evening a general re- ception to Brotlier Lining by the Master Masonic Hall. A large number of the breth- ren were present, and although the af- fair was entirely informal, it was none the less delightful on that account. On Friday evening Mt. Calvary com- mandery gave a reception to Sirs G W. Lininger and B. H. Barrows. Sir Lininger's extended travels in the Holy Land were ly devoted to the study of the scenes of the Cru- sades and Sir Barrows for five y, strong I was given Masons in | s past has been United States consul at Dublin and has takes terast in masonry s exemplified in the metropolis of Ireland.

N Y. A brother write; Do say some- thing of the growing carelessness of comumittees on petitioners.” The sub- ject is one of the most important now engaging the minds fo our lodges. The committee's report is the first safe- guard against the adinission of impro- per material to the lodge and it is very necessary that the committee ap- pointed to investigate the character | and antecedents of a candidate should do 8o thoroughly and searchingly. That lodge whose committees are most faithful and which itself exercises the most carcful scrutiny over it's ballot box,sometimes even in the face of a committees report, is building itself upon & foundation of granit AN IDLE CHA Many of the enemies of Freemason- ry persistently charge that it is a sc- cret political instity The Free- mason, of London, protests aganist this, and declares it not alone childish and perverse, but also a slander against our peaceful and loyal brother- hood, alike unmerited and unfounded, The great difficulty with most of Freemasonry’s opponents is that they iudge it solely by the rottenness of their own hearts and lives. Such peo- ple seldom see any good or any beau- ty in anything, and generally even the choicest Dlessings and the truest lov- ing kindnesses as of no more real | value than a film of sand or a pool of | stagnant water, All this wmay be due to their long ears and small brains; anyway it is just as well to so view it. STAKSPEARE A FREEMASON, A writer in the Welchman is at pains to show, from quotations in Shakspeare's plays, that he was a Mason. The following area few of the more striking quotations In ‘‘Measure for Measure” we find the following beautiful deseription of the “*badge of innocenc: oo, to signify that Craft, r than innocency, stands For the facing In the same play we not only obtain the following brief reference to the *'secret!” It is but we are durkly and impressively warned— "Tis & secret must e ‘ tecth and lips. g | Aud in King John occur the follow- s mystery! locked within the lor misleading, “Thou | visit to a vi Ar her t ear, And he that <peaks doth wrip the hearer's wrist In “Henry VL' we read vast installed in_that high degree; and in ‘Twelfth Night, third degree.

An Event of Great Interest at the Cinotnnat! Zoo-Zoo. Cincinnati Gaz Recentlyanother interesting acquisi- tion was made to the large list of animals now in the garden, furnish- ing also additional facts of a peculiar and interesting nature to the scientific Jd—namely: the birth of a sea- lion, the third one ever born in a fresh water carnivora. In the year 187 ir of sea-lions from southern California, known as the zalophus ‘alifornianus, were brought to the Zoo., and given in charge of Prof. Thompson. Some little trouble was experienced at first in accustoming them to the fresh water of their new abode, reared us they in the sult wi of the , through the care and assiduity of their keeper, they finally not only be- came reconciled to the change, but brought forth young,—the first calf being born in 1878, The mother, however, was i the last stages of tuberculc and died several days her confinement, the calf sur- viving but & week, Another cow was then obtained, and the professor te. succeeded again in inducing them to|py bring forth young. The second calf was born in mptivitr, making its ap- pearance in the fall of 1880, But again were the managers of the garden | doomed to disappointment, the cow dying of ulceration of the ovaries in ugum a fortnight after the birth, de- spite all efforts to save her. A third cow was then brought tothe aquarium, and, as above stated, she brought forth the third and last seal calf ever born in a fresh-water aquarium, and at last accounts both mother and child were doing well, thanks to Prof. Thorps: Floun about upon the rocky floor, and bleating like a young goat was this newly arrived though some- ing lines, which we are satistied to whould havo a through cleansing, the stomach and bowels regulated, THE OMAHA DA what diminutive specimen of a sea- | l He was about as large as a re- | ently-whelped Newfoundland pup s closely to his mother's | untry boy upon his tirst | age fair “How soon will the youngster take to the water?” asked the scribe, | “Strange to say,” answered the pre fessor, “‘the young of th Tion can not swim This little fellow, sir, if thrown into the lake, would sink to the bottom like a pound-weight.

The two met, and everything was lovely until a fe- male ostrich in a neighboring lot caught the eye of the gay Lothario, and he whispered honeyed words through the wires of his inclosure into her but too willing ears, his disconso- late wife being left in the meanwhile to warm the eggs upon the cold, cold ground, and looked after the other house arrangements all by her self. Her patience becoming exhausted at last at the billing and ~ cooing of her faithless spouse with this giddy speci- men of dusting-brush, she attempted to mildly remind him of his duties as a husband and a prospective father, when he flew into a passion, broke up the nest, trampled the eggs under foot and, falling upon his wife in a rage of kis furious passion, was within an ace aving murdered her when the au- s interfered and placed him in durance vile in the mudhole above al- Iudea to. “You can’t bet on emus,” said M hompson. “They are not relinble birds, especially as hushands and fathers.” Haunted Me, Christian Advocate A workingman says: “Dcbt, pov- erty and sufferring haunted me for s, caused by a sick family and vills for doctoring which did no good, 1 was completely discouraged, until one year ago, by the adv my pastor, I procurred Hop Bitters, and commenced their use, and in one month we were all well; and none of us have been sick a day since; and I want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families well a year with Hop Bitters for less than one doctor’s visit will cost,” eod-jyl TRUE TO HER TRUST.
