after which an appropriate portion of the Scriptnres was read by the Chaplain . The Lodge Board was then uncovered , aud the Officers carrying the elements of consecration made a procession three times round the Lodge , sprinkling the board each time as directod by the ritual . The Consecrating Officer then dedicated the Lodge
according to ancient formula , and various hymns having beon snug , the Lodge was duly constituted , and the final benediction given . The Lodge was resumed in the second degree , and the installation
of Bro . John William Dewsnap as W . M . proceeded with . This was followed by the appointment and investiture of the following brethren as Officers : —W . Cock S . W ., F . Dunn J . W ., G . S . Mansell P . M . Treasurer , T . J . Collior Secretary pro tern , G . P .
Nightingale P . M . S . D ., P . G . Phillips P . M . J . D ., W . Castledine
I . G ., T . Cray Dir . of Cors ., S . G . Greenfield and W . T . Warner Stewards , Edward Petit Organist , Thomas Bowler Tyler . The Consecrating Officer then addressed the W . M . on the duties of his Office , and a Committee having beon appointed to draw up the Byelaws , Lodge was duly closed , and the brethren adjourned for
refreshment . At the conclusion of the banquet , the usual Loyal and Masonio toasts were given and received , Bro . Philbrick responding for the Grand Officers ; his speech may bo summed up as ouo of hearty good wishes for the success of the Lodge , and he trusted that the foundation laid that evening might be strong in its olemcnts ,
respected by its constituents , and a model to all who desired to found other Lodges . Bro . Col . Clerke replied to the toast of the Consecrating Officers , and humorously referred to his multifarious duties as Grand Secretary . He thanked the Lodge for inviting them to perform the ceremony of consecration , and concluded by saying
that if the members had been pleased with them , they had been equally pleased with their kind and flattering reception . Bro . Clerke subsequently proposed the health of the W . M ., and said it was a
great honour to be the Master of an ordinary Lodge , tho brothei Btarts as an Apprentice , places his foot at the bottom of the ladder , and duly works his way to the top ; but when a brother is selected out of a number of founders to become the first Master of a now
Lodge he considered it an nnusual honour . Bro . Dewsnap , he believed , fully deserved that honour ; although not an old Mason he must be a good Mason , as this was the third Lodge of which he was Master , and he felt sure that under his gavel the Lodgo would very speedily become prosperous and successful . Bro . Dewsnap said
it would be his constant endeavour to uphold the dignity and quality of the new Lodge ; and he hoped to preside in such a manner as to deserve tho approbation of tho brethren . Bro . the Rev . G . W . Weldou , in proposing Prosperity to the Lodge , said that if he might judge of the future by the present , the
prosperity of the Rye was already seonred . An ominent Greek writer , 1600 years ago said , " It must bo borne in mind that a good beginning was half of all ; " and ho , the speaker , was disposed to say that the Lodge would soon take its place among the Lodges of the district . Masonry did not exist merely for the participation of
good cheer ; the Craft might challenge any other Institution as regards its noble Charities ; the children , orphans and infirm poor of their body were cared for ; aud ho trusted tho brethren would be as faithful to posterity as antiquity had been faithful to them . Brother W . Cock , in reply , said ho had never responded
with greater pleasure to any toast than he did on tho present occasion , and he trusted the Rye Lodge would equal any other in honour , respectability and usefulness . He was quite sura their W . M . possessed every qualification necessary for tho good conduct of tho Lodge and hoped he would be spared for many years to assist them .
They had also several P . M . ' s in the Lodge perfectly competent to carry out Masonic ritual , and he trusted their work would be conducted in a perfect manner so a 3 to obtain tho esteem of tho Grand Officers . The W . M ., in submitting the Visitors , gave all a hearty welcome , and said it would bo his intention to make tho Lodyre
successful , not only in numbers but in hospitality . Bros . Lennard and Hilton responded , tho former remarking that there was every chance for the new Lodge to prove successful ; there was a large field for their work , and he thought there were several gentlemen of standing aud influence in the district who would be pleased
to join . Bro . Dr . Pigott proposed the Fouuders and Officers , whom he was sure would attend not only to thoir duties in tho Lodge but out of it , so that they in turn would soon rise to the Master ' s chair . Bro . Frederick Dunn J . W . returned thanks as one of the Founders ,
and stated his firm belief in the future success and prosperity of the Lodge . The Masonic Press and the Tyler ' s Toast completed the long list , and the brethren separated after having spent a truly enjoy . able evening .

The Fumoperpurgans Tobacco Pipe.
THE FUMOPERPURGANS TOBACCO PIPE .
JUDGING from the frequency of the notices that appear in tho different tobacconists' shops , we should imagine that smokers have not much difficulty in findiuga pipe to suit their taste . Whether all these new inventions achieve what is promised we cannot say , but from what we have seen of a pipe recently brought out by Mr . J . Bennett , of 22 Great Tower Streot , E . C , we mav at
onco mention that a better of its kind could not be . The theory is purely scientific—in fact we may say the first time in our recollection that such a thing as scienco has ever been applied to s , tobacco pipe . The construction of the pipe does credit both to the manufacturer and the inventor alike . It is all made of tho best suitable
materials , and no amount of trouble appears to have been spared iu carefully studying all the details and making it as simple as possible to meet the convenience of the smoker . The "Famoperpnrgaus" pipe is made in such a way that by a simple method the smoke becomes purified and the aroma of the tobacco
considerably improved , so much so , that the flavour of the best tobacco will be found equal to that of a good cigar . Tho pipe is made in three sections—the bowl , tho barrel , and the mouth-piece . The mechanism for purifying tho smoke consists of a spiral or volnto fixed into the mouthpiece , aud a specialty prepared tabe placed over
tho spiral and adjusted by the assistance of a screw stop . The whole is then placed in the barrel and is ready for use . When the pipe ia in use the smoke travels a circuitous path through an aperture or channel which is voluted in its course , and during whioh it beats with sufficient force on the faces or flanges forming the spiral or
volute to cause a deposition of its contained moisture and impurities , which are further taken up and absorbed by a surrounding tube , with a result that a dry , cool , and free smoke is obtained . Another important advantage is that it may be used incessantly without experiencing that unpleasant biting sensation on the tongue ,
due to the unrestrained presence of nicotine . The tube when fitted over the spiral or volute forms one complete cylinder . Immediately smoking commences it becomos fixed by the moisture in the smoke . The smoke enters the cylinder from the bowl in a crude state , and passes iuto the month purified , leaving the impurities in
the tube . In time tho tube becomes charged with impurities , when it is removed and thrown away , being replaced by a fresh one . These tube 3 are made at such a price that they can be freely used , and one box , containing three dozen , is given with the pipe . They are afterwards obtainable at Is 6 d per box , or a halfpenny each .
This pipe does not come uuder the denomination of ordinary pipes , such as are imported from Germany and France . They cannot be made cheap as a complete fit is necessary , each pipe requiring special study in all its details . The cost of labour forms a considerable item . Tho retail price is one guinea , and , although this may
appear high to thoso accustomed to purchase cheap pipes , such as Germany and France produc 3 , tho cost is more than adequately compensated { or , not only by its merits , but likewise its perfect construction . The seond and third sections of the pipe will last for an indefinite peiicl , and should the howl at any time require
being renewed this can ba done at a nominal cost , making tho first expenso the only one of importance . There are habitual pipe smokers who , iu the courso of years , have accustomed themselves to smoke any kind of pipe , and even may be said to havo goue so far as to prefer a strong foul pipe to a clean one ,
but these wo are inclined to think are few and far between , and if they accepted the oft-expressed testimony of tho highest medical authorities they would at once relinquish that course of smoking for the more salntary one of which they now have the opportunity . See Sir Morell Mackenzie ' s report on tho Artificial Production of Cancer ,
in his work on " Frederick tho Noble , " page 42 , of which tho following is an extract : — " By far the most common seat of malignant disease in men is tho month , which is more exposed than any other part of tho body to irritation by hot substances . Every surgeon is familiar with this fact . Whethor it be a lower lip on which the hot stem of
a clay pipe , or the smouldering paper of a cigarette has rested day after day ; or a tongue exasperated by tho frequent contact of ' Acrid Tobacco Smoke' or the mouth-piece of a foul pipe . " There are others who would at once prefer smoking a pipe such as the ouo wo have described , whilst a certain class of people cannot even smoke
pipes at all , and are compelled to keep to cigars . Of these latter we can safely 3 ay that they can smoke this pipe and enjoy it . The continuous smoking of cigars is acknowledged to be injurious . From the above description it will easily be seen that this pipe is a great
improvement on anything that has yet been brought out . The pipe is of the best English manufacture , is silver mounted , aud enclosed in a good leather ease . Wo may add tho pipe is of a neat description , and would make au acceptable present .
