NOT A RELIGION.

There was some surprise the other
day when a decision was given in the
Suffolk Superior court at Boston that
theosophy is not a religion and that
theosophical societies cannot have the
exemption from taxation that religious
societies have. 1t has been generally
supposed that If theosophy was any
thing it was religion, but it now APP
pears that some theosophists agree
with the Massachusetts court. The de-
eision is approved by Henry B, Foulke,
who has been asked to assume the
presidency of a reorganiZed body of
the followers of Nine Blavatsky. He
is quoted as saying: Religion is a fix
ed position or declaration of pre-
sumptive fact. Theosophy is not such.
Religion is a teaching. Theosophy is
not. 1t is study, a search. This is
1t has no dogma, for all knowledge is
unattainable and no one has obtained
it yet, This trying to make out theos-
ophy to be a religion and to fasten dog
matte restrictions on to it, is why the
Aryan branch of the society in America
does not succeed in making progress.
Their principle is wrong. To try to
dodge taxes by claiming to be on a par
with the church is just throwing their
effort over to materiallsm. Theosophy
is distinctly not materialism in any
form or any suggestion of it.
We don't know much about theoso-
ply, but it is evident that the use of
religion to avoid the payment Of taxes
in rather materialistic.

CONSPICUOUS ANACHRONISMs


A writer at this critical day must be
very careful not to get anything or any
body into story or a poem that did not
belong to the epoch Of which he is wri-
ting. Such an error, which is called an
anachronism, subjects him to ridicule
1t is well known that the works of
Shakespeare, as was inevitable in the
case of a comparatively unlearned man,
abound in errors of this sort. He intro
duces clocks into ancient Rome, and in
the production of his plays dressed Gaze
sar and Coriolanus in the uniform of a
British officer
This was well enough in Shakes
peare's day, but when living novelist
introduced a typewriter into scene
which was supposed to have occurred at
a time not more than five years before
typewriters came into common use, he
was ridiculed numerically.
One modern author who cared very
little for the charge of anachronism,
though he wrote in the age and in the
country of 1.-The document" was Victor
Hugo He introduced into drama of
the time of Charlemagne priest of the
Sorbonne-the famous theological
school Of Paris-though the Sorbonne
was not founded until four hundred
years after Charlemagne
But perhaps the mistake which is en-
titled to be called the champion ana
chronism" of all literature is one which
is to be found In Hugo's admirable po-
EN-, 'Boaz Sleeping" which deals with
the story Of Ruth The poet speaks of
the earth at this period as still wet
and soft from the Deluge."
According to the most commonly ae-
cepted chronology, the flood occurred in
the year 234S B. c. BY the same chro-
nology, Ruth was married to Beaz In
the year 1926 B. c. BY this calculation,
upward of eleven hundred years must
have elapsed between the two periods
which would seem to have afforded am
pie time, with ordinary weather, for the
earth to get dry.-Youth's Companion.

given in the list of witnesses there was
general surprise and some felt that it's
appearance there was rather tricky.
He was present at the meeting Tues
day evening and perhaps some things
that he saw and heard there impressed
him as they did others and he felt that
he couldn't serve the public interest by
being in any way participant in the
further proceedings. So he has with
drawn as politely as possible.
We suppose that DR.. Smyth can be
properly and legally summoned and
compelled to appear before the investi-
eating committee. But we do not think
it will add anything to the impressive
ness of the affair to drag him into it.

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The senate doesn't agree with the
house in the good roads matter. Yes
terday it rejected the house amend
ments by vote which may be regard
ed as practically decisive as to the SEN
ate's future action. Thirteen negative
votes, and three senators paired, gives
a total of sixteen of the twenty-four
senators in opposition to the measure
in the shape in which it was recon-
structed by the house, providing for a
single commissioner and making vari-
GUS other changes. There Is no at
tempt, however, to- disturb the proper
tons Of the expense of road construc-
ton, which the bill provides shall be
divided equally between the State and
the towns in which the roads are con-
structed, and relieving the counties
from the share of the cost they pay

its action than the house was. II
should and probably will persist The
action of the house was neither wise
nor just.

AT the final meeting Of the fifth an
nual conference of the Independent La
Dor party in London, Tom Mann, as
usual moved that it should be known
in future as "the Socialist party" It's
members, he said, stood to-day as the
| representatives of the principles of So
cialism, and there was no room in the
party or organization for any one who
was not prepared to subscribe to the
principles of Socialism" The party APP
peared to be of different opinion, and
after a discussion the proposal was re-
jected. The programme adopted was,
| however, of a distinctly Socialistic
type. 1t begins by declaring for the
collective ownership of all land and
capital, and for an equal distribution
of wealth. In order to bring about the
| desired state Of things the party de-
mands an eight-hour day; the right to
have work found for them by every
body at a minimum of Cd. per hour, the
| localities having power to find and
spend the necessary money; state PEN
sions for every one over fifty years of
age, and adequate provision for wild
ows and children and invalids; free ed
ucation and free maintenance for chill
dren when at school or at the UNIVERSE
| ty; abolition of child-labor; abolition
of indirect taxation, and the transfer
of all burdens to unearned incomes,
with a view to their ultimate extinc-
| ton.

FOE SAFER INSUR4NCE.

The fraternal assessment insurance
orders are discovering that they must
do business on a business basis if they
wish to live. Another of them has been
forced to adopt old-line insurance
methods, the alternative being collapse.
This is the Royal League, a sort of
competing order to the Royal Arcanum.
After eleven years of existence it was
discovered two years ago that the order
was giving insurance at less than cost,
and an attempt then made to increase
the assessment rate and to establish a
reserve fund failed. This action has
now been taken by the supreme coun-
Gil, from whose ruling there is no ap-
peal. In many cases the assessment
has been more than doubled, and in no
instance is the increase less than 40 per
cent Under the old rate member
joining the order at the age of twenty
one years and carrying a $4,000 policy
paid $1.94 on each assessment to cover
death losses. Now he will be assessed
S272, and this assessment will be a
monthly affair, whereas the induce
ment held out at the inception of the
order was that the assessments would
be limited to eight annually. In addi-
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1897-05-20

ton, it was decided to discontinue the
issue of $4,000 policies, the maximum
hereafter to be $4,000, With the present
membership the new rate is expected to
create a reserve fund of 100000 in one
year. and the yearly increase of the re-
serve will, of course, depend upon the
increase of membership. There is much
complaint over the increased rates.
Members of the council explain that
they were necessary to meet the COM
petition of many new orders recently
organized with reserve funds, which
are cutting into the fraternal orders of
the old style.

FASHION NOTES,

The disadvantages OF ACCORDION
peated skirts are somewhat positive
ones, but they are not enough to pre-
vent such skirts being fashionable, and
she who has a girlish, slender figure
may risk an entire costume of accorde-
implicated muslin or silk. The bodice
should be perfectly plain, blousing a
little and drawn in at closely fitting
belt dropped or pointed at the front.
Sleeves should be shirred closely about
the arm and puffed little at the Shout
der, and a plain high ribbon collar may
be topped by several thicknesses Of
pleated chiffon. Does not that sound
simple and summary? And remember
that accordion pleating stands changes

1t is explained that the reason why
The tax on beer was fixed at 81. Al a bar
rel, instead Of at round figure, was
for the sake of convenience in mathe-
nautical calculations. That figure is the
multiple of 2, 3, A. 6, and IL, which
are the divisions used by the brewers in
the sale Of beer. In computing the
taxes upon fractional parts Of bar.
rel, $144 is more convenient than $1.5(
or 40 or $1.45. Thus, the tax on q
half a barrel of beer will be " cents
the tax on quarter Of a barrel 81
cents, on a third of a barrel 4S cents
on a sixth of barrel "a cents, on ar
eighth of a barrel IS cents. Ever
