MISUSE OF MASONIC EMBLEMS . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , — As inexperienced brethren may possibly be misled the display of the emblems of Masonry by those who h ve no rig ht to use them , I am g lad to see a brother

it attention to the evil . To add my mite for the information of the Craft , I may ntion that in many shops for the sale of imitation ™ vellery scarf pins , having the square and compasses in imitation silver , may be bought for one penny each .

Beside the pamp hlet mentioned by " C . F . " other medi-¦ adV enturers use the same means of calling attention to their publications ; and even the proprietors of travelling shooting galleries , and the photographic caravans seen at every fair , impertinently use Masonic insignia . Yours fraternally , Rouen ASHLAR .

A B RIEF MEMOIR OF THE REV . R . MOREHEAD , embossed in Moon ' s Type for the Blind . 104 , Queen's-road , Brig hton . We have seen this most interesting work , which does very great credit to Dr . Moon , alike for the simplicity of his system of reading so clearly manifested , and the admirable execution of the work itself . We have looked

over many specimens of Dr . Moon ' s invaluable labours , but there is not one of them which appears to us more clearly to demand notice , ( though it be only a passing one ) or more truly claim our admiration and approval . Some of our readers may not know how many and great have been Dr . Moon ' s unwearied labours for the mental , and , we will add , spiritual illumination of all who are suffering

the great privation of sight . It is impossible to read his list of works , now happily within the reach of all blind people , once , alas , really and literally consigned to " outer darkness , " so to say , as far as any intellectual improvement was concerned , without feeling strongly what thanks are due to that good worker in the great army of humanitarian toilers , and how much he deserves , not only the

gratitude of all who , like himself , are unable to enjoy the great gift of sight , but in truth of all who value honest efforts for the improvement and welfare of mankind . Indeed it may be a fair question whether the valuable services of Dr . Moon should not be rewarded by a national pension , and though the fund at the disposal of the Prime Minister is very limited , few claimants , in our humble

opinion , possess a better case or a fairer claim . for how can we measure what comfort and happiness the embossed type has brought to the mind of many a blind person ? The more so , as the blind are , as we all know , keenly sensitive of and deeply influenced by intellectual and religious influences , as if in God ' s providence , though one great faculty , in his inscrutable wisdom , was

denied them , others were invigorated and even developed beyond their fellows . We feel that we cannot say too much , honestly , in favour of the zealous and phila . nl hropic labours of Dr . Moon , and did our space permit , we should be glad to say a good deal more . The book he has so admirably reproduced is a very interesting one in itself , being the life cf a very able and worthy clergyman , Dr .

Morehead , who , to use the old Scotch phrase , did his duty "God-ward and man-ward , " faithfully and truly in his lime and generation . A companion and friend of many of those distinguished men who at one time shed much intellectual greatness and bri ghtness on Edinburgh society , he ended his peaceful and useful career in a quiet English parsonage , among the hills of Cleveland . A man of many

gifts and much power , his life and correspondence have been edited by his son , Dr . Morehead , well known by his long medical services in India . Sir Charles Lowther , the munificent supporter of Dr . Moon , ( himself a fellow sufferer ) , and who married a daughter of Dr . Morehead , has

thought well thus to preserve for all alike the memory of a good man . He , as well as ourselves , will agree with Old Shirley , when he says Your heads must come To the cold tomb .

Onl y the actions of the just , . Smell sweet and blossom in their dust . We will onl y add that should any of those for whom «* e write , know any one in want of any of Dr . Moon ' s valuable works , we shall be happy to hear from them , 3 S we can , we believe , obtain them for them .

The late Southwark Conference created a demand lot Compressed Tea beyond all expectations . Eminent Analysts declare it is only when tea is in its pure and native state that it will yield to pressure under hydraulic power . The London and Provincial Press unhesitatingly assert that if you want a cup of tea in perfection it must be brewed from tea that his been

Compressed . Economists advocate the use of Compressed Tea , and say if you want to get double the value out of your tea use it Compressed . Testimonials in thousands speak highly of the increased value and advantages in using the finely selected teas of the Compressed Tea Company ( Limited ) . Families are making constant applications for the smal ' . est wholesale quantity supplied , and say , " We

are compelled to send to the warehouse for Compressed Tea ; because the tradesmen in our locality appear to know nothing of it ; and as one pound weight of Com pressed Tea goes as far as two pounds weight of loose tea , we hope you will supply us .
