Why'Cannot a Woman beoome a Ma* BOO' At tli? Uib anniversary ce'ebration of ' shs Meson* of Austin, Nevada, the orn- j lor of the d. thus discoursed upon tliit much vexed question : w man sometime* coinpUin* that *he is not permitted to enter our lodge* and work with the craft in their labor*, and j learn all there i* to he learned in the in *ti? hi ion We will explain the reason.? We learn that before the Almighty had finished His work, lie was in *ome doubt j ahout creating Eva. The creation of e?e? ry living and creeping thing had heen accomplished, and the Almightv had made Adam (who was the firat Maton) and created for him the firat lodge in lha world, r*n<i called it Paradise No 1. He then caused all the heaatb of the fie d ! and fowl* of the air to pa?s Itefore Adam j for him to natue them, which wa? a piece of work he had to do alone, so that no confusion might hereafter ariee from Eve, whom ha knew would make trouble if I the watt allowed to participate io it, if He j created Iter heforenand. Adam being verv much fatigued with the labor* of lit* firat tank, fell into n deep leep, and when he awoke he found K*e in tlie lodge with him. Adam, being Senior Warden, placed Eve as the pillar of beauty in the South, and they received their inatructinn* from the Grand Mauler in the Kaat, which, when fininhed, ebe im mediately called the craft from labor to refresh men t. Ins'ead of attending to the dutie* of her office a* ahe ought, ahe | left tier nation, violated her obligation, a-u| let in an expelled Ma*on, who had no (niaine** there, and went around wi b him, leaving A,dam to look after the j-w# el* Thi* fellow, bad been expelled front tbe Grand Lodge with several other*, i -i t? . i ""in- u>ii?? I'cinrr I>'ii Hearing III* Coot <?f the Grand M i*??*r. lie ruddenlv took Id* leave, ifUii>(r E*o to go to mak* ing apron*. h? ^11 ? hihI Adam ?tt? not in prop-r regalia. She went and toM Ail mn, and wl.en the Grand Maaier eturn ed to the Lodge he found hit g**el had heen *iolen. lit* called for tli? Senior nod Junior Warden*, who had neglected to guard the door. Mud found them ahaent. Af?er arching ?otna time. he mine to where hev w^re hid, end demanded of Adam wlmt lie doing there, instead of oc rnpring hi* offi -ial elation. Adam repli-d lie wa* waiting for Eve to call the craft from refreshment to Inhor again. ami that tl>e craft war not properly clo?h ed, which they were making proeiaiona fi?r. Turning lo K?e, h? iMkrd liar what lie h*d to offer in exruae f??r her unofficial and unmaaonic conduct. SI.a replied that a fellow paaaing himaelf off aa a Grand Lecturer, had l>een giving h?r in1 -truci'ina. andahe thought it ?M no harm in learn them. Tlie Grand Mauler ll-era upon aaked her what h-d become of hia ca*el ; ahe eaid ahe didn't know, unleaa that fellow had Carried it away. Finding that K?n waa no longer trout wnfihv, and that ahe had canaed Adam to neglect hia duty, and had let in one who had he.en expelled, the Grand Ma* let had cloned the lodge, and turning them out, aet a faithful Tvler to guard the I door with a flaming aword. Adam re? penting of hie folic, went to work like a m>?n and a good Mt?on, in order to get reinatated aga'n. Not *o with Fee; ahe got angry about it and commenced raia linn Cain. Ad?m, on account of hi* re* f rmtlion, wn? permitted lo e?t*kli?h lodge* nn.l work in the lower degree*; ?nd while Kv? wa* allowed 10 join him io work* of charity ouuide, *he war neeer again to he a linitled to attaint in the regular work of the craft.

A Wonderful Watch. | The Mechanic'* Magazine rays: "A ! remarkable mechanical curiosity has recently been constructed in Loudon. It is ' a watch belonging to a member of Parliament, aud designed and made expressi ly for biin by James Ferguson Cole, tbo celebrated London watchmaker. This unique pocket chronometer bas a silver dial, on which are nine hands, indicating respectively the houre, minutes, seconds, the days of the week, the days of the month, and the months.cf the year. .It corrects itself for unequal months?-that is to say, change* when they have thirty and when thirty-one days, and also ?Qr" recti itself for leap year. It is so construeted that any slight agitation of the watch aucli as the ordinary exercise of walking, winds it up. Thus it may be worn apd j will go perfectly for years without reouir. - - - 1 * ins even to be opened, although it can also be wound Wy a key io the usual inapt ner. The die) ie arranged in fire circles, and wi'.hin the largest?(the hour circle) there is a semiicircle showing the moon's age and phases by means of gold on a ground of blue steel. At the beck of the .watch ie a gold indicator for ascertaining the time in the dark by touch. The com| plication of the mechanism may he ipr; | agined, and yet the watch is of ordinary dimensions and may he conveniently worn iu a gentleman's pocket. It cost the sutn of three hundred guineas."
