A Tatooed Freemason.

A TATOOED FREEMASON .

The first Masonic funeral that occurred in California took place in 1 S 49 , and was performed over a brother found drowned in the Bay of San Francisco . An account of the ceremonies states that on the body of the deceased was found a silver mark of a Mason , upon which were engraved the initials of his name . A little further investigation revealed to the beholder the most singular exhibition of

Masonic emblems that was ever drawn by the ingenuity of man upon the human skin . There is nothing in the history or traditions of Freemasonry equal to it . Beautifully dotted on his left arm , in red and blue ink , which time could not efface , appeared all the emblems of the entire apprenticeship . There were the Holy Bible , square and compasses , the twenty-four inch gauge and common

gavel . There were also the Masonic pavement , representing the ground floor of King Solomon ' s Temple , the identical tessel which surrounds it , and the blazing star in the centre . On his right arm , and artistically executed in the same indelible liquid , were the emblems pertaining to the Fellow Craft ' s Degree , viz ., thc square , the level , and the plumb . There were also thc five columns representing

the five orders of architecture—the Tuscan , Doric , Ionic , Corinthian and Composite . In removing his garments from his body , the trowel presented itself , with all thc other tools of Operative Masonry . Over his heart was the pot of incense . On other parts of his body were the beehive , the Book of Constitutions , guarded by the Tyler ' s sword pointing to a naked heart ; the All-seeing Eye , the

anchor and ark , the hour-glass , the scythe , the fortyseventh problem of Euclid , the sun , moon , stars and comets ; the three steps which arc emblematical of youth , manhood , and age . Admirably executed was the weeping virgin , reclining on a broken column , upon which lay the Book of Constitutions . In her left hand she held the pot of incense , the Masonic emblem of a pure heart , and

in her uplifted hand a sprig of acacia , the emblem of the immortality of the soul . Immediately beneath her stood winged Time , with his scythe by his side , which cuts thc brittle thread of life , and the hour-glass at his feci , which is ever reminding us that our lives arc withering away . The withered and attenuated figures of the Destroyer were placed amid the long and flowing ringlets of thc

disconsolate mourner . 1 hus were the striking emblems 01 mortality aud immortality blended in one pictorial representation . It was a spectacle such as Masons never saw before , and in all probability such as the Fraternity will never witness again . The brother ' s name is unknown . —Philadelphia Age .

REPORT of Dr . Arthur Hill Hassall , Analyst of the " Lancet " Sanitary Commission , Author of " Food and its Adulterations , " & c , ¦ _< -., on Mayar ' s Semolina : " I have carefully tested , chemically and microscopically , the samples of Semolina sent by Messrs . L . Mayar & Co ., 36 , Mark Lane , London , E . C . I find them to be perfectly genuine , of excellent quality , and eminently nutritious . They contain a very large percentage of

nitrogenous matter , chiefly gluten , antl are far more nutritious than any other food , such as Arrowroot , Tapioca , Sago , Corn Flour , Farinaceous Food , ordinary AVhcat Flour , or any of thc Cereals in use as food in this country . — ( Signed ) ARTHUR HILL HASSAI . L , M . D ., London . " - - Highly recommended by thc Faculty for Infants , Invalids , & c . Makes delicious Pudding , Custards , Blanc Mange , & c . After a trial no family will be without Mayar ' s Semolina .
