"A MASONIG CENTENARY.
Barten Lodge, A.¥. and A.M., C lebr>-ted
Ite 103th Anniversary on Nov. 10.
On Nov. 20 Barton Lodge A. F. and A.M. celebrated the century of its ex istence at Hamilton. The Hamiltoa Spectator says of the lodge that in 1793 there came to reside in Barton one Da- yenport Phelps. This gentleman had been educated for the church, though it is doubtful that he ever received holy orders. He had been employed in Niagara (then called Newark) as a no- tery and attorney, and continued that calling here. While at Newark he be- ceme grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of Masons, then recently estab- lished, and there can be no doubt that he encouraged the Masons living in this neighborhood to apply for the war rent which would authorize them to fcrm and work a lodge. The provin. cial grand master at that time was William Jarvis, who was also secre tary and registrar for Upper Canada, under Lieut.-Gov. Simcoe, and he, on Nov. 20, 1795, issued the warrant un- der which the Barton Lodge of An- cient, Free and Accepted Masons was ecnstituted. Contending With many difficulties, Lodge No. 10 held regular meetings until the eve of the war of 1812. One serious difficulty felt by its members was that of procuring cur- rent coin of the realm with which to pay dues. The brethren were able to pay and willing to pay, but it was im- possible to find ready cash. In this emergency the following action was taken: “On motion of Bro. Beasley, seconded by Bro. Smith, that the lodge will except good merchantable wheat, delivered at Bro. Rousseaux’'s mill, from any brother of the lodge, in pay- ment of dues, which motion was um @nimously agreed 4o.”
When the war of 1812 broke out, the Jewels, warrant and other property of the lodge were in the possession of Ephriam Land, who, on the approach of the enemy, buried them in his gar- Gen, when all danger had passed he dug them up, but many years passed Lefore they were again used. At the close of the war, the settlers were fully cccupied fer some years in repairing damages, and it is not improbable that indifference and neglect of duty on the part of the provincial grand naster chilled the ardor of the subor- dinate lodges. Then followed the anti- Masonic crusade in the United States, the influence of which spread to Can- ada, so that for some years Masonry Was under a cloud. Many of the most prominent citizens of Hamilton have been members of Barton Lodge. Chief Jcseph Brar.t (Thayendanega) was pre- sent at the earliest meeting of which full minutes exist—that held on Jan. 30, 1796—and is there enrolled among the members present, and not among the visitors; but he does not appear to» have signed the by-laws; he receiv- ed his degrees in England before the Barton Lodge was constituted, and it cannot be positively asserted that he was ever enrolled as a member of the body. Sir Allan Macnab received his first degree in St. Andrew's Lodge, To- ronto; but he received the second and third in Barton, and remained a mem- ber of that lodge during his life. G. W. (now judge) Burton was among the most active members.
Che New Via Dante in Milan Has That Distinction.
As an instance of the new improve ment work there should be mentioned the Via Dante, a magnificent radial very recently constructed, which leads to the beautiful new park in the north- western part of the city. There had long been retained within the town, at the rear of the old “Castello,” a vast military drill ground, extending from the inner to the outer lines of circuit. By consent of the National Govern- ment the city authorities have recent- ly laid out a large part of this space as the chief park of Milan, and an area of perhaps equal extent has been arranged with handsome streets and sold for private residence sites. This extremely valuable land has brought into the municipal treasury a large fund of money with which a variety of public improvements have been in- itiated or authorized. The Via Dante was constructed as the direct approach frcm the heart of the city to the curv- ed front of the symmetrical new park. It is paved with wooden blocks on a ccncrete foundation, is lighted with electricity and is traversed by an elec tric street railway. But it is more no- table for its underground construction than for its beautifully executed sur face, for, apart from the main sewers, there are subways on either side ot the street, six feet high by four or five feet wide. These subways adjoin the front foundation wall of the houses and make it easy to Inspect and repair the drain pipes that connect the houses with the sewers. Within the subways are placed the water pipes, gas pipes, electric wires, ete., and passages ex- tend from them to the main sewers. It is considered in Milan that no street elsewhere in Europe so completely em- bcedies the best principles of construc- tion—below the surface if not above~ az the new Via Dante.—Albert Shaw, ia November Review of Reviews.

Dangers of Tea Drinking.
Tea drinking is coming under the severe lash of the medical profession, and a physician in an article in a re cent monthly says that tea worsnip, carried on by fair devotees in the pret- tiest of drawing-rooms, in the smart- est of teagowns, with the daintiest of silver and china, may to a large ex- tent disarm them as to the real na- ture of this insidious but implacable fiend. He further says the evil ef- fects of the tannin in tea are readily seen by its ravages on the throate and stomachs of tea tasters. It 1s well known that dyspepsia is oftea causet and increased by tea drinking; it is harmful in two ways. Neither should it be taken by those suffering from va- rieties of heart affection, or by those having a feeble circulation. Mental depression and extremes of melan- cholia the doctor also attributes to tea drinking, and even suicidal mono- mania. Thiz view is supported by the latest published statistics concerning the increase of lunacy among the low- er orders, considered due in a measure to the excessive amount of tea drink- ing now prevalent among them, an& those acquainted with the ways of tem drinkers of this class know that the tea pot is never off the hob, and that tea is drunk at every meal, as well ae hetween ments.

One to whem a night's rest*was unknown.
Strength and good health restored.
I was subject to frequent attacks of nervousness that seemed to sap all my vitality and left me in a state of weak- ness and misery. I could not relish food and such a thing as a good night’s rest was unkgown. Scecitite of any exer- tion and with an ever presgnt tired and despondent feeling. edicines that ! took did not do any good ; it was a case of gradually becoming weaker and weak- er. Hearing of Scott's Sarsaparilla and its success with similar cases to mine, I used it, and from the first few doses began to get better, appetite returned, got natural and refreshing sleep. I grew stronger, in fact life seemed to be fanned into activity.—Lottie Graham, 174 Craw- ford Street, Toronto.

REVIVAL IN BRITISH DOLUMBIA.
A Large Mining Boom Is Und +r Way and Good Vimes Are Looked For.
During the past several months, says the Victoria Colonist, there has béen 4 noted increase in business throughout the Province, and generally a more cheerful fecling amongst all classes of business men. The improvement ‘” trade is more apparent in whol.saie provisions and dry goods, ai& i> in the retail of these lines, but co:nmer- cial people as a whole look forward with greater cheerfulness than fer the past several years, for the outloox is most encouraging. ‘he belief is gen- eral that the trend of business is up- ward, and that the large mining <de- velopment now going on, and an Im- proved lumber market are sure to bring in good results. The working of the gold and silver mines of Kootenay, and of the gold mines of Cariboo, has had much to do with the increase of trade, and as their development will proceed on a much larger scale from this for- ward, it is but reasonabte to conclude that general business will be propor- tionately benefited. The recent im- provement in the circulation of money was of course induced to a considerable extent by the large payments made on account of the salmon, sealing and fur industries, which have drifted into various channels to the pvenefit of aii. The belief is in the air, howeve7, tnat times are on the mend ,and this has much to do with the better state of affairs.
Lugubrious prophecies of direful things to happen have ceased, and the prophets on the business outlook are dealing out more pleasing forec- casts. It is impossible to say any- thing on this head without first and foremost mentioning the mining move- ment. The mines of British Columbia this year will produce from five to eight hundred per cent. more than during any year in the past five. The prospect is that next year this will be
repeated, and double the amognt taken from the placer and quartz mines than wil have been secured
when 1895 ends. There is gooc reason, son, then, for the statements of the business prophets for all lines of trade will be benefitted by the mining alone. However, the coal, fish, and timber !r- dustries are being added to, anc farm- ing, dairying and fruit raising are be- ing entered into by greater nu:nbers, While the resources of sea, mine and forest are being deve'oped, the supplie> to feed the workers are thereby being producd in our midst, and the pro- vinces enriched to the extent of keep- ing the money paid for the same at home.
MARK TWAIN AT SYDNEY.
His ImpreSsions of Australia Upon Ar- riving Off Shore at Midnight.
“Do not forget my soulful eyes. Un- der the circumstances I shall be un- able to twist a diamond of superb brilliance on my forefinger as I talk to you, but do not forget my soulful eyes and deeply intellectual expres- sion.” Thus spoke Mark Twain as he leaned over the side of the st«wmer Warrimoo after it had cast anchor in Watson's bay at midnight, and heaved ‘slowly and sluggishly in the waters of Sydney Harbor. These were the open- ing words of an interview carried on with him from the deck of a little launch that bobbed about below the wall-like sides of the big steamer.
“I am going to write a book on Aus- tralia,”” he added between the snorts of steam from the escape pipe. “And I think I ought to start now. You al- ways know so much more of a @oun- try when you have not seen it than when you have. Besides, one does not get his mind strengthened by hard facts. The hardest facts for people who visit foreign places so as to write books are local liars. They come out and startle you with information you do not want, and then asperse your memory ever afterward.
“No, it certainly does not pain me very much to write anything funny, for I try the public first, and that takes a lot of the pain away.” Then, in answer to an enquiry about his Viferary quarrels with “Max O’Rell,” he answered, with a well-satisfied chuckle: “Yes, I know Max was here, and so you have heard about our little breeze. Well, he did all the talking, and after I had answered him in his own style Ilet him alone. J arm cer- tainly not going to fight a duel with him, as I can disgrace myself much nearer home than by going out to have a row with a shabby Frenchman The fact of the matter is, I think Max wanted an advertisement, and thought that the best way to get it was to draw me, but I am too old a soldier for that thing.”
Then, having quietly interpolated his own advertisement that his lecture would not be on set subj cts, but old personal reminiec:nces, Mr. Clemens, with a sigh, wound up by saying: “Really, I de not think I have much more to gay, I did not see the sa ser- pent on my way across. But permit me to say that your harbor strikes me as being superb. I have not seen yet, but I say that from whata I have read about it. I suppose I ought to add a few words about the beautiful carvings on your postoffice hut. really, I do not care to throw away my gooe things on a bright night like this. so f£00d-night,” and the interview ended. —Melbourne (Australia) Argus.
