Washington a Free Mason.
. That General Washington was an ac
tive Free Mason, in good standing Is
shown by the historic statement that
"the southeast corner stone of the enp
Itol was lnld September 18, 1703. by
Brother George. Washington, assisted
by the worshipful masters and Free
Masons of the surrounding cities, the
military and a large number of people."
Where Platinum I Found.
1 Platinum Is recovered principally
from the beds of streams, the particles
having been deposited there through
erosion of large rocks, classified geo
logically us "tertiary conglomerates."
The platinum grains are found with
gold, the proportion vnrylng from S
to. 60 per cent of platinum. The two
mctnls arc recovered by washing the
sand and gravel of streams.
CENTER OF; MANY LEGENDS
Famoua Dem of Mm Rock, In "ha Holy
i;; Land, Haa Long Bean HJld
' . 8acrd Place.
- The Mussulman's grief at the fall of
Jerusalem Is largely centered in the
fate of the Dome of the Bock. For
centuries devout Mohammedans have
Journeyed to this spot, which they
count second only to the holy places of
Mecca in religions significance. '
Directly under the- rounded dome
topped with the Turkish crescent Is the
sacred roc about which a host of tra
ditionsJewish, Christian and Mo
hammedan have been collected. From
this rock Mohammed ascended Into
heaven on his steed El Borak, the light
ning. Here also, if tradition is worth
anythingrested Noah's ark, and Jacob
saw the angelic vision. This spot Is
18 miles nearer heaven than any oth
er on the earth, and the Turks accept
the old Jewish' theory that this is the
"center of the earth. Here on the Judg
ment day will the angel Gabriel stand
when he sounds his trumpet.
There Is little room for argument
over, these statements. You accept or
reject them as you will. But long and
heated have been the learned disser
tations to decide whether this iilentlcnl
pot, already overcrowded with asso
ciations, is the site of Solomon's tem
ple or of the tomb of Christ. Science
now leans toward the former conclu
sion nnd grants that very likely the
rock marks the place where stood the
altar of the famous Jewish temple,
r Even for a conflrmod skeptic the
place must hold Borne. Interest, for the
structure protecting the rock Is a
worthy rival of the Taj Mahal in beau
ty of design. The building Is octagon
al like a mosque and popularly called
the Mosque of Omar, to the distress
of the well Informed, who point out
that It Is only a shrine and that the
,true Mosque of Omar Is a small vault
like building in no way connected with
the sacred rock.
Mohammedan worship Is as yet un
disturbed by the viceroy of the Chris
tians, the chief difference being that
"the Mohammedan Is now the tenant
and the uuUellurcr the landlord.
ONLY NEEbED TO BE FED
Simple Reason Why imported Engine
Could Not Be Persuaded to
V-., Do Its Duty..
:The first locomotive used on the
Cbamplnln & St. Lawrence railroad
came from Europe, accompanied by an
engineer who, for some unexplained
reason, had it caged and secreted from
public view. The trial trip was made
by moonlight,, in the presence of a few
Interested persons, and It Is not de
scribed as a success. Later, the im
ported engiueer made several attempts
to Bet the Kitten for such was tho
nickname upplied to this pioneer loco
motive In motion toward St. Johns,
Jtuf.in, vain; the engine proved' refrac
tory, and horses -were temporarily sub
stituted for it.
Meanwhile, the railroad officials call
ed in a practical engineer from the
United States, who announced that the
engine, which was thought to be hope
lessly unmanageable, was ia good or
der and required only plenty of wood
nnd water. His opinion proved cor
rect, for nfter u little practice the en
gine attained the extraordinary speed
of 20 miles an hour! Prout's Hallways

From about her seventh year until
she is well along In the "flapper" stage
the growing 'girl usually requires some
special attention to clothe her becom
ingly. This Is "the nwkword age"
with some children, who are either too
angular ,or too chubby, while -'others
get through it without difficult lines
that must be softened. But for all
of them the straight line -dress seems
lo be the safe choice the thin little
girl und the fat little girl, with per
haps na little variation in. waist line,
wear it" with -equal success. -
Kew frocks for school, nnd other
everyday wear this fall, have bee: pre
sented, nnd two of them, shown above,
demonstrate how well the specialists
who design children's clothes have
managed the straight-line. Idea.' These
two refined and sensible dresses are
pretty nnd no little girl will look nwk
ward In them. . They will interest
the mother who must busy herself with
her daughter's school frocks. Both
these models nre adapted to cotton or
to wool materials, nnd both suggest
ways for remodeling and -"making
over" woolen clothes that it is the
part of patriot Ism to pass along from
grown-ups to thc.stnnll fry during war
times or any other times, for that
matter, . . " " ; '
Any substantial cotton or, reliable
wool fabric may he made tip like
the frock pictured of plain goods. The
bodice has the effect of a short jacket
which buttons under a fly at the front,
and the plain skirt with flat saddle
bag pockets applied Is gathered on
to It. The -sleeves nre three-quarters
length and the dress Is worn over a
lnwn or batiste blouse with n small
turnover collar. The decoration Is the
simplest sort of needlework trimming
merely silk floss In outline stitch
forming squnres that border all edges
In the bodice and on the pockets. . -rinld
and plain gingham or plaid
and plain serge will serve equally well
for the other dresses. In this model (he
skirt is plaited and set on to n plain
body. There aro two narrow belts of
the plaid goods, the lower one ter
minating under a narrow box plait In
the front of the skirt and tho upper
one fastening with a -plain button.
The white pique collnr nnd eulTs are
separate. : Like the under blouse In
the other dress,'' they nre tho means
of freshening up the frock nnd touch

World's Greatest Cataract.
What is set down as the greatest cat
' tract in the world is on the Iguiizn
her, which partly separates Brazil
ind Argentina, The precipice over
n hlch the river plunges Is 210 feet
ilgh, that of Niagara being 167 feet.
The cataract is 18,128 feet wide, or
about two and n half times as wide as
Niagara. It Is estimated that 100,000,
300 tons of water pass over 'Niagara
in an hour. A like estimate gives the
tails of Iguazu 140,000,000 tons.
- ' Peculiar Cause Of Celibacy.'
Celibacy is almost unknown among
:he Mordvlns, and when It does occur
:t Is nearly always the result of a vow,
specially in places where Russian in
fuenre is strong. Sometimes n girl is
lot married In consequence of a vow
to a deity If haH, for Instance, has
rulned'the crops' or some misfortune
befallen the frmlly. Such young
women nre termed the "wife of Uie
nail king."
"Self."
If your house looks so and so, if Is
because you are so and so. There Is
no way of separating yourself from the
envelope of appurtenances that you've
chosen to surround yourself with.
Your "self" Is simply the cluster of
circumstances that you have culled
from -.the rich -welter of the world to
put Into the make-up of your life.

I ' - Elusive Happiness.
N We must remember one thing. It is
not absolutely necessary to be happy,
it is all very well to talk about happi
ness, but one of the strange contra
dictions of life is that we can never
Und happiness, If we search for It.
Happiness is elusive. It will escape
Mi, if we seek to hold it. But If we
ta our woy, If we refuse to lose our
fulth, no matter how sad we may be,
do matter how weary or how disheart
ened, we will learn to find happiness
in. .little things. In the reading of u
Aoolt, in the singing of a song, in the
making of a dress, In the doing of our
work.
It is the last thing indeed that Is
the real cure for the disillusionment
of life that comes to each of us. Work
Is the great panacea. If we work, and
jWork well, we shall find much to com
pensate us. And it along the wny we
choose to pretend that dreams do
ibtnetlmes come true, who can blame
Us? Exchange. .

""I've figured the whole thing out,
rather," said Slabel. "The car, to be

per cent is $800 a year. If we charge
10 pcr cent for depreciation it will
come to $300 more. . A. good chauf
feur con be had for $125 a month, or
1.G00 n year. I have allowed $10 a
week for gasoline nnd $5 for repairs.
Die elinufreur's uniform and furs will

what it comes to. Three hundred plus
