ones and to childish tales of woe and the anxious questioning of the juvenile mind . I do not know that I care to be catalogued " Class A , No . 1 , New Woman , " hut I plead guilty to riding a bicycle and being able to swim and fish , and walk ten miles and feel no evil effects . Such excerise is good for young men , and why should it nofc be for
young women ? The woman of to-day , by reason of her advanced ideas and her manner of living , is more robust and healthy than at any period of the world's history . She is strong limbed , deep chested , bright eyed , and when she is called upon to assume the holy function of motherhood her children will be strong and healthy aud well developed , mentally and physically . Mr .
Ingersoll and good old Mr . Carson are of the class though , who would have her sitting around playing at being " a little below the angels" and men would sing " bass , " wear " pants , " win bread" and "fight the battle of life . " A woman wants to be good friends with her husband . They ought to be " chums , " and if one looks about at the coming man and sees the miserable , pin-headed , cigarette-smoking , cane-sucking specimen , she is entitled to
entertain a serious doubt as to whether , all things considered , in future such beings will be " fathers , " and sing " bass . " She sees a very poor field , indeed , from which is to come one who is to be friend , adviser , lover , companion , and the father of her children . She knows she is intellectually the superior of the " new man , " and to support this it is only necessary to cite the fact that graduating classes composed wholly of young women are in the majority .
Mr . Ingersoll says , " the Eastern Star is shining forth , " but concludes that it is a " passing show , " and refers to the time when the " craze" will have passed . This brings me to the firsfc conclusion , that he a " back number . " Let us see about the craze and how it is dying out . In 1850 it had its commencement , but not until 1868 or 1870 was the Order perfected . I am
sorry that I have nofc at hand ample statistics , but from what I have we will examine a little as to how rapidly the craze is passing . In 1870 in twenty-three states and territories we find forty-seven chapters bearing an aggregate membership of 1 , 910 ; 1875 , 223 . chapters , 12 , 046 members ; 1880 , 311 chapters , 16 , 2-16
members ; 1885 , 458 chapters , 24 , 693 members ; 1890 , 874 chapters , 45 , 541 members . This is in but twenty-three states and territories . It is not confined to the north-west , either , for New York in 1890 had-forty-two chapters with a membership of 2 , 448 . From this it will be readily seen how the craze is dying .
Mr . Ingersoll does not want us encouraged in the work , and intimates that it might bring us to the level of the men . Oh , dear me ! A beautiful course of reasoning , truly . He would not have us engage in work which has for its object the lifting up of the fallen , the relief of distress , and the widened teachings of fche One whose " star we have seen in the east . " He would reserve that for those who wear " pants " and sing " bass , " while those " a little below the angels " sit on the fence aud applaud .
What harm can there be in female relatives of Masons assembling themselves iu Chapters of the Eastern Star in company with their fathers , brothers and sons ? There is no claim made that it is Masonry , or that any part of its ritual is Masonic . Then , is it any business of Mr . Ingersoll or any other outsider , for that matter ? Do not be fearful that we will
want to be Masons , or that we will take to the Order the title " Masonic , " for we will do neither the one nor the other . Do not be alarmed about the " craze , " or figure about its " passing . " Just get down to your books and study of it ; watch its work and you will be so impressed with its good that you will take your wife and daughters and with them knock for admission to some Chapter . — " Edith , " in " Kansas Freemason .

MASONRY BY PHONOGRAPH .
INNOVATIONS multiply , and the tendency of the enterprising seekers after novelty is startlingly indicated by the following from the " Illinois Freemason " : Ques . A Brother of our Lodge owns a phonograph and has made some records of our Masonic work , which are standard .
Can there bo any objection to their use in conferring the degrees ? Ans . No Brother has any right to allow any part of the work to go into a phonograph . It is as much subject to discipline as though written on paper . A degree conferred by phonograph would hardly be satisfactory to the candidate or to the Lodge .
We hear a great deal about Masonry as a progressive institution , but we do not see how those earnest souls who are wrestling with the problem of "how to make Lodge meetings interesting" can improve on the preposterous phonograph proposition in their search for " something different . "
The restless spirit of the age is apparent in many of the " improvements" which have lately been attempted in Lodge work . But the innovations are of no effect . No new wrinkles are needed where the proper fraternal feeling prevails . Good and
