News and Notes Among the
Secret Societies ,
Tno masons of Chicago laid the corner
Mono of the now Masonic temple last Thurs
day with Imposing ceremonies. The cere
mony was under the auspices of the grand
ledge , nnd was participated In by all the ma
sonic bodies In the city. The procession was
formed 011 Michigan avcuuo nt Adams sticct
mm mov ed by a dtcultous route to the site of
the temple , at the uoithenst corner of State
nnd Unudolph sttcets , where tbo grand mas
ter laid the iorn r-stono in accordance with
the ancient usages ol the ciaft.
Nonmm'P. CSassctto , the prime mover in
tbo temple project , recently saiil to n Chicago
Herald reporter. "It will bo the largest
building on earth , und in many ways totally
dlffoicut from nay other stiucturo In exist
ence. The halls nnd corridors on the various
floors will bo named and numboicd ns are the
streets and avenues of a city. Instead of
being known as the ilrst floor , the main
corridor of the second storv will bo called
Gurnov street in honor of T. T. ( Jurnoy.
"This Is the only name ns yet decided o-i ,
but all the streets will bo named after Ma-
EO'nlc notables. The Idea of giving them
names Is to ilo n way with all Ideas of alti
tude. The building will bo eighteen stories
high , and the moro mention of tbo seven
teenth oi eighteenth story might discourage
erne people. If they were looking for an
oftlco. The fotinditlon will bo of steel rails.
Each lloor vv 111 bo Ilko n bpan of a cantilev or
bridge. They will bo drawn together with
led not bolts , so that thcio can absolutely bo
110 vlbrntiou. The atmospheric pressure has
been figured In nn exaggerated way. So has
the velocity of the wind. To particuhulzo :
The temple will bo bullc. so ns to icslst suc
cessfully the wind nt a velocity of 1U ! miles
nn hour. Such a wind would level all the
ordinary business blocks of tbo city. Wo
havo. piovldcd to have each lloor strong
enough to sustain a v. eight of as many people
as could bo packed iu solid as sardines on
every foot of space ,
"The upper lloor will bo as strong us the
lower. Built on this principle it could bo
safelv made forty stories high on that foun
dation. The only objection would bo it
would require too much room for elevators.
Wo now will have fourteen elevators , eight
foot cars , nil arranged in a circle. That's
more elevators than thcro nro In nny other
building In the city. Externally the four
sides of the temple will be exactly alike. It
will appear the same , no matter from what
direction viewed , Work will bo rushed right
along. The temple will bo completed nnd
occupied on May 1 , 1S1H , un oven year befoio
the world's fair opens. "

Cook * in Their Kitchen.
Ihcro has always been n hazy Indefinite'
ness about n cook's rights in herown kitchen ;
but all tmvviltten domestic law tends to show
that they are very extensive , says the Lon
don Daily Telegraph. A seiious encounter
and a case in the Marlborough street police
court arose out of the energotioway In which
Mary Aun Cronin , the cook of AI. Holbrook ,
landlord of the Svvnn public house , Mouni
street , ( Irosxcnor square , asseitod these
rights. The landlord's son happened to enter
Ml s Cronin's domiin as she was propaiing
tea on Sunday aftctnoon , when ho was per
emptorily told to leave nnd Informed ho had
no right there. The young mm did not dis
play sufllelont alacrity in making his ictreat
and the cook follo'vvod him with tbo intention
of pushing him out of the door. Thereupon ,
according to Miss Cronin's statement , ho
struck her a violent blow , and the putlos
fell together. Young Holbrook now saw the
necessity of making n strategic movement
to the i car , for immediately upon logalnlng
her feet tlm cook took up the kitchen poker ,
the sceptro of sway In her realms , and the
young man sought refuge in his bedioom ,
where ho temilncil until taken In custody by
the police. Mr. Ilannav , believing that the
landlord's son had struck the llrst olow , fined
him X'l , with 1 compensation to Miss Oionln
n warning of the danger of invading the
kitchen nnd of entering Into dlsputo with nn
autocrutwho can , la the lust resource , fall
back on the kitchen poker.

the place of orange blossoms and the tulle

A widow who is being nruriod for the second
end time , may weir any color she wishes ; if
she Is In traveling costume ; but Infulldioss
she must liavo cither peirl gray or mauve , or
if she mofeis , some other u > lor , but never
hlto , nor should slio wear orange blossoms
Hoses , daises , or whatever Jlower Is suited to
the simile of her frouk , are proper ; but the
white , sweet smelling blossom belong oiithely
to the joanggirl.
Somebody asks how to auangea veil and
how far It should extend. You cannot buy n
veil by ttio yaid ; that is to say , \ou cannot
tell ho\\ much you need ; the proper uay is
to have a storekeeper wend a piece of tulle
nnd then drape it on the bride's head. It
should fall well over her train , though not
bojondit , nnd should icach the edge ot the
skirt in front. The otaiiKo blossoms are put
on so that they nro only visible after the veil
Is thrown back , ulilch ceremony should bo
'
performed by two of the bildes'nnidshen
the newly nndo liusbmd leans forward to
kiss the bride.
la nil largo cities there nro hair-dressers
who make a business of arranging brides'
veils , but in smaller ones these helpful peo-
plouronot nlwajs to bo found ; so Just re
member In putting It on that while it Is light
nsnlr it.still must bo llrmly pinned lu posi
tion , and the orange blossoms well In place ,
so that when the front part Is thtovvn back
Uiev will present a perfectly \ \ ell arranged
npnooranco.
If ono wished , pearl could bo substituted
for the pearl decoration on the costume pic
tured , nnd It would , of course , make it much
less expensive , llj-tho bj o , It should iihvnys

mony that means the Joy or misery of her
future life , nnd , uhllo everjtblng maybe as
merry as a mnrriago boll , In the brldo's frock

A Qucen'a Economics.
The qucon regent of Spain is carrying out
n reform in her household \\hlchlsinaklng
hera gieat many enemies in her own imme
diate court chclo.
Formerly the wlnps , fruit , all kinds of food
and the wax candles used at each dally dinner
in the palucoucro the peiqulsitcsof certain
court followers. Nothlnir was ever saved ,
nnd the servants \\oro paid privately to order
two or ttirco times as much as was neces
sary. In order than tbo perquisites might bo
swollen.
1 hus the expense account ot the royal pal-
n-jo at Madrid sometimes bore several thou
sand wax candles In the course of a month ,
und these wcra often sold back nt half price
to thu very merchant who had supplied them.
When the late dukoof Acsta t\us king ol
Spun ho tried very hard to put n stop to this
court thievery. Ifo caused u number of ser
vants to bo discharged , but the peculation
went on as before.
Ho found too late that it was a tlmo hon
ored custom , and tlmt several great ladles
wuro much offended that their supply of
choice wines and fruits wuro cut on ,
U is even alleged that this attempted
reform was ono of the thing * which inado
him so unpopular that ho had to quit the
country.
Queen Uogont Christina Is a fotoignor , as
the duke of Aosta was , nnd she will fc-el the
Spinish wrath if slio insists that the nneieut
custom shall bo done away with Seveial
servants whom she has discharged huvo nl-
reidy begun to scandalize her , although her
chit utter has always been above reproach.

Woman nnd Philanthropy.
Time was when woman's ' sympathy of heait
ran avvav with her Judgment , ami ludisciiml-
tinting charity defeated Its pin pose. But the
woman who felt BO much thit she practically
did nothing belongs to the pist. It is for the
woman of today to avoid the opposite extreme ,
that of doing so much that she feels nothing ,
sajaa witter in Harpei's linear. To what
osteal a happy medium Is being reached , wit-
i.css the women on hospital and charity
boards , conducting vast mission schoincs.eoii- .
tiolltjir Institutions for relief of every sort ;
thinking , planning , executing for the gouit of
the Ignorant , the wretched und the wicked ,
sldo by sldo and hand In li.ind with men.
Oooil work no longer hits her in by suffer-
nnco or watches Jealously her growing power.
On the contrary , no schema foi the impiovo-
mcnt of the condition of mankind , no plan
for better homes , better air , better health , or
bettor morals , no cltort to heal or comfort the
orsuvo , butclumois nt the door of her heart ,
and shivers nnd uhilvlosln the chiller Indif
ference until she takes it in. If Iho Infant
idea is not always her own , she coddles it
nnd mothers It nnd brings it up to a stature
it never could have reached but for her
moulding hand. Especially U this true of nil
projoc-ts that hoar directly or Indirectly upon
the vvelfaro ot the voting , Nothing that can
bo wrested out ofllfo by untiring laborer
unsparing zeal is too great or too good for her
child.

U is a popular fiction that u girl can marry
a man without , ns the anylng Is , marrying his
family. It Ls not true. Koinotlnios n grape
docs spring from n thorno , and n pure , tem
perate sou descends Iruni a vile , sintul father ,
Ills mother's blood , pur 1mpa , has saved him ,
Still , in marrying this man jou marry the
soiled family record , and must , to some ex
tent , shuro In the suffering caused by his
futher's sins , says a writer In the Ladles'
Home Journal. Heredity wo may or may
not believe in , but wu have all seen charac
teristics pass ono generation by , to appear in
greater strength in the second. You run the
risk then , oven if jour husband is all tint ho
should bo , of being un unhappy , anxious
mother. In respect to dlsoasu nud Insanity
the same law obtains. I am not spoaklus in
favor of the Hellish , mercenary inairinKO , but
I am udvoc-ntlnjr the intelligent eountuiK' of
the cost before the contract U signed. Par
ents "vvhu would bo shocked ut thclf daub'ht

whoso luitoceilcnt-s they know nothing , do not
ulvvays leluso to allow that simo daughter to
marry a man whoso family they meet for thu

No stronger ovidoneo or this can wo have
than appears lu tlio wide opening of door- ,
on ovoiy hand into nil possible avenues of hit
man activity nnd Inlluenco , saj-s a writer in
Harper's Qnrnr. The intoiosts of icllgion ,
left in olden tlmo to tlio thought and cuio of
priesthood , depend in too great measure today -
day upon the sympathies of woman. They
are to a niaikcd degree the real allies and co-
woikers with the chinch , the heaters of soi-
mons , the regular attendants at piayei-
meetings , the teachers in Sunday-sihools ,
and the upholders of icllglous observances
everywhere. The week's labors , however
hard , cannot vviv.iry her out of herehuii'h-go-
ing. The Sunday newspapers jnay multiply
pigos , and compass the wlilo world's topics
in ono Issue , or become n more sardlnobox :
closc-ly picked with utmvory unctuous news ,
it cannot take the place of her religious
weekly. The moralities are her stronttbohl ,
from within wlilrh nho keeps watch , und
wars against whatever might destroy or dc-
illo the sunctitiea of homo.
