FIND OLD QUARRIES
SAID TO HAVE BEEN "BIRTH-
PLACE OF MASONRY."
Spot Was Mentioned by Josephus and
Stone from There Is Believed to
Have Been Used in Build-
ing Temple.
PAINT EVERY YEAR.
As a result of the effort of the de-
partment of state to learn all that is
possible of the "birthplace of Mason-
ry, Thomas R. Wallace, American
consul at Jerusalem, has made an ex-
tensive investigation of "Solomon's
quarries" in the Holy city. His report
to the state department is of interest
to Masonic bodies, and particularly to
American Masons, because an Ameri-
can, Rolla Floyd, became senior war-
den of the Royal Solomon Mother
lodge, instituted in Jerusalem iu 1873.
"Solomon's quarries" were men-
tioned by Josephus in the writings of
the ancient historian. They were
lost through the Middle Ages and un-
til most recent times. A chamber is
pointed out In the quarries as the
original mooting place of the ancient
body of Masons. The chamber is the
so-called "Chamber of Brotherly Cove
nant."
Mi. Wallace said that his investiga
tlons led him to believe that the quar-
ry became lost when the Romans de-
stroyed Jerusalem. It is believed that
the stone with which the ancient tem-
ple was built was taken from the quar-
ry. The basis of this belief is that
Josephus described the temple as hav-
ing been white, "like a mountain of
snow. The stone in the quarry is
white and soft, hardening with expos-
ure to the air.
The quarries were discovered by ac-
cident. According to the story told
Mr. Wallace, a Dr. Barclay was out
hunting. Mis dog disappeared in a
hole near the north wall of the city.
The dog failed to reappear. Dr. Bar-
clay tore away the earth and weeds
about the hole until he had enlarged it
enough to enter. It was the entrance
to th quarries.
A chamber is pointed out in which
it Is said the first meetings of Mason-
ry were held It is a small semi-cir-
Jular place with scats about it formed
.if shelves of stone. Crumbled into a
shapeless mass at one end of the semi-
circle is what once was a pillar of
atone and is said to have been the
chapel of the lodge. It is in the same
condition now as whtn discovered, Mr.
Wallace said. ' *•
An American named Page, accord-
ing to Mr. Wallace, gave the best indl-
ratlon of the time which passed sinccC
• he quarries were lost. A small pot ,
tery lamp such as those used by the
early Jews was found In the quarries
by Mr. Page. It was filled with the
minute particles of dirt which float in
the air. These particles would remaini
In the vessel after falling in. because
protected from air currents by the rim
of the vessel. The pottery lamp had
a bowl one inch deep, it contained
only these atoms of dust, showing that
it required ages to fill.
The supposed connection of Solo-
mon with these quarries, together with
the traditional idea that associates him
with the early history of the Masonic
fraternity, is responsible for the In-
terest with which Masons regard
these raves, and especially the partic-
ular chamber where lodge meetings
are sometimes held. Gavels and pa
per weights made from the white
stone of the quarry, and on which Ma
sonic emblems are carved, are to be
had In some of the stores of Jerusa-
lem, and are much prized by Masons.
Wo One Wants to Do It, But Some
Paint Will Wear No Longer,
\V hen you havo a job of painting
done you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
a lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration—the proper
time to paint—the condition of the sur-
face—the kind of materials to use, etc.
All these matters are fully covered In

RASH ALL OVER BOY'S BODY.
Awful, Crusted, Weeping Eczema on
Little Sufferer—A Score of Treat-
ments Prove Dismal Failures,
Cure Achieved by Cuticura.
"My little boy had an awful rash all
over his body and the doctor said it
was eczema. It was terrible, and used
to water awfully. Any place the water
went it would form another sore and it
would become crusted. A score or
more physicians failed utterly and dis-
mally in their efforts to remove the
trouble. Then I was told to use the
Cuticura Remedies. I got a cake of
Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and a bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, and before we had used half
the Resolvent 1 could see a change in

Rev. Mr. Spicer had for three days
enjoyed the telephone which had been
his last gift from an admiring parish-
ioner. He had been using it imme-
diately before going to church.
When the time came for him to an
nounce the first hymn, he rose, and
with his usual impressive manner,
read the words. Then in a crisp, firm
'one. he said: "Let us all unite in

Hundreds have paid the cost of their farms (if
purchased) and then had a balance of from $10.00
to $ 12.00 per acre from one crop. Wheat, barley,
oats, flax—all do well. Mixed farming is a great
success and dairying is highly profitable. Excel,
