ARE YOU A MASON OR SODFELLOW HOW
PA WAS X1SHIATED.
"Say, are you a Mason or a Nodfel
low or anything?" asked the bad boy of
the groceryman as he went to the
cinnamon bag on the shelf and took
out a long stick to chew.
"Why, yes of course I am; but what
set you to thinking of thatl' asked the
grocerymen, ai he went to Hie desk

pound of cinnamon.
"Well, do the goats bunt when you
nishiate a fresh candidate!"
"No, of course not. The goatsare
cheap ones; they have no life, and we
muzzle them and put pillows over their
heads, so that they cant hurt anybody,"
says the greceryrnan as he winked at a
brother Odd Ftdfow who was seated od
a sugar oirrel looking mysterious.
i"But why do you ask"
"Oh, nuthin', only I wish me and
dium had muzzled our goat with a
piuow. jra wouiu nave enjoyeu oe
comins a member of our Lodge so much
better. You see pa had been telling
us' how much good the Masons and
Nodfellows did, and said we ought to
try and grow up good so we could join
the Lodges when we got big, and I
asted pa if it would do any hurt for us
to have a play Lodge in my room, and
pertend to nishiate, and pa said it
wouldn't do any hurt He said it
would improve our minds and make us
men. So my chum and I Lorried a
goat tliac lives in a livery stable. Say,
do you know they keep a jjoat in a liv
ery stable so the horses won't get sick.
They get used to the smell of the goat,
and after that nothing will make them
sick but a glue factory. I wish my
girl boarded in a livery stable, and
then she wculd get used to the smell.
I went homo with her from church
Sunday night and the smell of the goat
on my clothes made her sick-to her
htunimick, and she acted just like an
excursion on the lake, and said that if
I didn't go ami bury myself and take
the smell out of tne she wouldn't go
with me again. She was just as pale
as a ghost, and the perspiration on her
lip was jest zif she had been hit by a
.street sprinkler.
"You see, me and my chum had to
carry the goal up to my roo.ii when pa
and ma was out riding, and he blatted
ao we had to tie a bankercbief around
his nose, and his feet made fucIi a noise
on the floor that we put some of baby's
socks on 'em. Gosh! how frowzy a
goat smells, don't it) I should think
you Masons had strong stummuix.
Why don't you have a skunk or a mule
for a trade mark Take a mule and
aniiointhim with limbergpr cheese, and
you could nishiate just us well and
make a candidate smell just as bad as
with a goshdarned, mildewed goat.
Well, sir, my chum and me practiced
with that goat until he could bunt a
picture of a goal every time. Wu bor
ried a buck beer sign from a saloon
man, and hung it on the back of a
chair, and "oat would bunt it. That
ni,ht pa wanted to know what we
wire doing up in my room, and I told
him we were playing Lodge and im
proiing our minds. He said that was
right; there was nothing that done boys
so much good as to imitateniennnd store
by useful knowledge. Then my chum
asked pa if he didn't want to come up
to our Lodge aud take the Grand
Bumper Degree, and pa luffed and
said he didn't care if he did, just to en
courage us boys in innocent pastime
that was so iniproviii' to our inlellex.
"We had shut the goat up in n clos
et in my room, and it got over blatting
so we took off the handkerchief and he
was eating some of my paper collars
and skate straps. Wo went up stairs
and told pa to come up pretty soon
and give three distinct raps, and when
we asked him who comes there, he
must say 'a pilgarlic who wants to
join your ancient Order and ride the
goat.' Ma wanted to come up too, but
we told her if she come it would break
up the Lodge, cause women couldn't
keep a secret, and we didn't have any
side saddle for the goat. Say, if you
never tried it, the next time you nish
iate a man in your Mason's Lodge, you
sprinkle a little kayn pepper on the
goat's beard just before you turn him
loose. You can get three times as
much fun to th square inch of goat.
You wouldn't think it was the sam.e
goat. Well, we got all fixed, and pa
rapped and we let him in and told him
he mu3t be blindfolded, and he got on
his knees a latling'and I tied a towel
around his eyes and then I turned him
and made him get down on his hands
also, and then his back was right
toward tho closet door, and I put the
buck beer sign right against pa's cloth
ing. He was a laffing all the time,
and said we are as full of fun as they
made 'ein, and we told him it was a
solemn occasion, and we wouldn't per
mit no levity, and if ho didn'tjs'top
laffing wo couldn't givehim the Grand
T?ii -i .rrrp,, , :
'Then everything was ready, and
my chum had his hand on the closet
door, and some kyan pepper in his
other hand and T asked pa, in low bass
tones, if he felt as though he wanted to
tnrn back or if he had nerve enough to
go ahead and take tho Degree. I
warned him that it was full of dangers,
as the goat was loaded for beer, and
told him he yet had time to retrace
bis steps if he wanted to. He said he
wanted tho whole bizness, and
we couljl go ahead with the who'e
mt-nagrie. Then I said to pa if' he
had decided to go ahead and not blamo
us for the consequence, to repeat after
me the followeng: "Bring forth tho
royal bumper and let him bump!" Pa
repeated the words, and my chum sprin
kled the kyan pepper on the goat's
mustache, and ho sneezed once and
looked sassy, nnd then he see the lager
beer goat rearing up, and he started
for it just like a cow catcher and
blatted.
"Pa is fat, but he knew he had got
hit, and he grunted and said: Great
Cajsar, what are you boys doin J and
then the goat gavehira another degree,
and pa pulled off the towell and got up
and started for the stairs, and so did
the goat, and ma was at the bottom of
the stairs listening, and when I looked
over the bannisters pa and ma and the
goat were all in a hpap and was yelling
murder and ma was screaming fire, and
the goat was blatting and sneezing
and bunting, and the hired girl came
into the hall and the goat took after
her, and she crossed herself just as the
goat struck her, and said, 'Howly
mother protect mel' and went clown
stairs the way boys slide down hill,
with both hands on herself, and the
goat reared up and blatted and pa and
ma wenr into their room and shut the
door, and then my chum and me
opened the front door and drove the
goat out.
My chum and me adjourned the
Lodge and I went and stayed with him
that night, and I hain't been home since.
But I don't believe pa will lick me,
cause he said he would not hold us
responsible for the consequences. He
ordered the goat hisself and we filled
tho order, don't you see? Well, I
will go and sneik in the bacs way
and find out from tho hired girel how
the land lays. She will not go back
on me, causa the goat was not loaded
for hired girls. She just happened to
get in at the wrong time. Good bye,
sir. remember and give your goat
kyan pepper in your Lodge.
As the boy went away and skipped
over the back fence the groceryman
said to his brother Odd Fellow "if that
boy don't beat the devil I never saw
one that did." "Peck's Sun."
Ostrich Farming sear Riverside.
It is not generally kuown in this
valley that there is to be an ostrich
farm in San Bernadino county within
the next few months. Sidney Cook, of
Boston, is ono of tho projectors of this
enterprise. His partner is now in
South Africa, where he has gone to se
cure tiftv ostriches with which to stock
the farm. The location is not as yet
determined upon, but Mr. Cookdesiies
to get as near Riverside as possible.
It is probable that the birds will be
here and located within the next six
months.
The birds cost about 31,000 each
hence it lequires some capital to get a
start in this business, but as the feath
ers are very valuab'e, there is said to
be a good profit m the business. It
takes fouryears for tho young chicks to
mature, but in the meantime, they
yield feathers each year. "From tho
Riverside."
A young man hired as clerk was
told by his employer that all clerks
slept at the house, and that it was
closed punctually at 10 every night.
' Oh, don't apologize," said the youth;
"I don't care what time it's closed, if
it's only opened early enough in tho
morning."
CAIKS OF DirTULEIA
Dr. Henry Mills says: Among tho
many theories as to the cause of diph
theria, I notice a statement of Dr. Ques
ner in a reo-nt number of the "Boston
Chemical Nf w," that he has almost
come to tho con -luion that the disease
is to be traced to a fungus found in
spots on fruits, especially apples. Tho
fact that the disease was very preva
lent last summer and fall in many of
thcapplc growing districts oluur own
weight to this decision. Ho
says,
during
the summer and fall Children
are in the daily habit of picking ti-,;t
from the ground and eating im
mediately without rubbing or cleans
ingtthus taking into the system what
ever may have grown or become at
tached to the surface of the fruit.
Tho fungoid origin of whooping
cough was asserted some years since,
by M. Svetzerick and seems now to bo
confirmed by M. Ybcharuer, who says
he has found certain lower organisms
in the spittle of whooping cough pati
ents organisms not met with in any
other disease accompanied with cough
and expectoration. He claims further,
that the organitms are identical with
thoso which by thtir agglomeration,
from the black points or spots on the
skin of many fruit;, especially apples.
M. Yschanier, by inoculating rabbits
with their fungus, produced similar
results to whooping cough.
The writer of this article as a mi
roscopist has examined fruits this win
ter, and has found the black spots on
the apples to consist of a fungus one
of the oidia. The spots vary in size
from a pin's head to a good zized pea.
A small portion of the dark downy
tuft growing in the centre of the spot,
when removed by the point of a pen
knife to a suitable slide and placed
under the microscope will show the
fungus. Mycelium and threads and
spores extending from these sometimes
cover a large part of the apple, as may
bo seen with ei en a low power of the
instrument. Slidps can easily be pre
pared so as to show the fungus either
as opaque or transparent. The spores
are inconceivably small, and thousands
of them with the my eel urn might lodge
in the fauces without being felt, unless
they should begin to germinate.
The microscope reveals the fact that
the decayed part of apples also is in
fested through and through with a sim
ilar fungus. Mr. Thomas Taylor, a
micrqscopist in Washington, D. C,
has discovered an Entozoa ono of the
angudlua; in a diseased pear, also in
diseased peaches, and even a diseased
tomato. "Buffalo M. &. S. Journal."
Wonderful if True. A dog in
New Mexico, returning one evening
with his sheep to the fold, discovered
one evening that his master was in the
shanty, and kept very quiet. Tha
next evening it was the same. But
after penning up tlia sheep the dog
sin el led about the door, scratched,
barked and even howled, as he was
very hungry, but his master did not
move. The dog true to his appointed
duty, went out with the sheep on the
third day, but that night, when he
drove the flock into their ppn, the last
one to get in became the victim to tho
dog's appetite. This method of pro
viding for his own wants became a part
of the faithful dog's duty. Every
evening tho last sheep to try to enter
was seized by him and served for sup
per and breakfast and dinner tho fol
lowing day. The ranch to which the
dog belonged was a solitary part of tho
Territory and out of the track of trav
el or visitation. For two years from
the time of his master's death ascer
tained by date left by the latter tho
faithful dog tended the flock left in his
charge, and had fresh mutton for his
supper every night. The flock was
not decimated by this steady drain up
pon its resources. On the contrary it
increased in numbers, and when at the
end of two years from the time of
death of the proprietor the ranch wa3
visited and the remains of the owner
found, the dog was still at his post of
duty, jealously guarding his flock and
driving them to the best pastures every
day and at fold at night, beforo which
he slept to keep the wild sheep-eaters
of the plains at a civil distance. From
