 ODD FELLOWS.
For the Benefit of Defeated Candidates
 For ofsice-LinlkIets.


 Members of lodges who feel aggrieyed by being defeated for office, and who man. Hest it by absenaing themselves from the lodge meetings or by making unkind re- marks against the successful candidates, or resorting to questionable efforts to crlp- pie or embarrass the new officers ln the discharge of their duties, do not exempllfy in very high degree the spirit of Odd Fellowship nor do they follow the golden rule teaching. To have an honest and worthy ambition to rise in the order IS commendable, and to succeed is gratifying, but if defeat turns us away from the lodge or causes bitter feelings toward the sue cessful rival, then our Odd Fellowship means nothing more than selfish ambi- tion for office.-Odd Fellows Herald.
 A withdrawal card keeps membership alive for one year, but 1t must be deposit ed before expiration to make membership continuous

more ridiculous method of curing a man who is suffering from nervous exhaus- ton and is threatened with nervous pros tration could not be well conceived. A man who has overworked does not need more work, but less work and more rest. The man who has lost his appetite needs some thing to restore it. The man whose nerves are shattered needs something to tone and strengthen them. Get the nerves right and sound, and refreshing sleep will follow. A man who sleeps we'll and eats well, and digests and assitni1ates his food will not remain i'll.
 In cases of this kind Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery goes to bed rock = to first causes. It creates hearty appetite; 1t makes the digestion and assimilation perfect, it invigorates the liver; it puri6es the blood and fills 1t with the 1ife-giving elements of the food. It builds up new flesh, new muscle and new nerve flores. It is an unfailing cure for nervous exhaustion and nervous prostration, and the best of all medicines for overworked men and wo- men.

rne vonsecrated Life.

A good many Christians dedicate their service to their pastor and when he goes they go. When medicine stands in bottle, the good qualities go to the bottom, leaving worthless water at the top. To Do useful it must be mixed The conseerated life means that the good, noble purposes, resolutions, prom ises and God given abilities of my life shall not lie dormant, but be so mingled with my thoughts and actions as to bring to the world the healing balm of Christ's atoning sacrifice. .-Rey. w. E. Dugan, Stewart Memorial Church, San Francisco.
 christlike Spirit.
 The same spirit which ought to be in the church more than it is should be in politics, industry, i'll everything where men band themselves together for the doing of any good thing. The devil is willing that the spirit of Christ should be in the churches if he could lock it up there and keep it out of the daily re- lations of life. Only where the spirit of Christ rules may men come together without strife and avarice. It may be said that unselfishness is not practical in the business world, but Christ was eminently practical, and his life was the model of unselfshness. Rev. Dr. w. E. Barton, Congregationalist. Boston.
 Religion of the Future.
 The religion of the future must lead and inspire men. It must offer to all classes and nations the loftier ideals of true godliness and justice, one which will commend itself to head, hand and heart and one that will cement all classes of men together, teaching them that they are children of one and the same Father It will not be thing of dead forms and ceremonials but pow CT inspiring men with the grandest hopes for the life that now is and of that which is to come. By it the broth erhood of man will become a reality and the fatherhood of God sublime thought, lifting men up to noble pur- pose and Christlike life. Rev. Dr. Har- court, Methodist, Philadelphia.
 The Christian Faith.
 It is thought that the Christian faith will be displaced-will be outgrown. Many of its forms have been, it's sys- tems, it's deinable theology. But be- cause it's ethical ideals are the highest the spirit and essence of Christianity will abide It's history is a history of extraordinary expansion. It has shown the power of adapting itself to the most diverse forms of thought, and it will go on sloughing the ideas associated with it in days of darkness and superstition and will spread undivided in the world and operate unspent by it's own divine vitality. It contains the potency of nor mal, ethical and spiritual development, and as one said, will assimilate and absorb in the future all the best forces that enter our civilization, and yet will not lose its essential spiritual charac- ter.

A TAX MEETING
Conference of Business
Men and the Cabinet.
Government VIII Not Introduce In-
come Tax Act" Schedule E."
An Exchange of Views.

This committee of representative
business men had conference with
the Cabinet yesterday: Messrs. Bowen
Lowrey. Swanzy, Bolte and Lansing
Taxation was discussed The visitors
asked questions and made suggestions
and left quite satisfied. The Govern
ment members present We're Acting
President Cooper. Minister Damon
Minister King and Attorney General
Smith.
The first inquiry was as to the pur-
pose of the Executive Council relating
10 revenue measures such as the Leg
islature to meet next month might con-
slider. The reply was that no act on
the subject would be sent to the as
sembly by the Cabinet The Govern
ment agreed with the business men,
after this phase of the general ques-
ton had been considered, that it would
not be just to add another or any
more tax upon what is already i'm
posed. Furthermore it was agreed
that the famous Schedule e. should
be applied this year the same as last
TO the larger corporations and part
nership only not touching the mer-
camille business.
There was quite bit of talk on in
come tax. Some members of the
committee and many citizens are in
favor of such a method for raising
revenue, but it was considered that the
specific income tax act had been a
mistake. Favor for a graduated in
come tax was shown, but with the
understanding that it should super
seded all other methods of ascertain
ing values excepting to place worth
on property of all kinds just as might
be found. A table on a graduated in
come tax was read and discussed
II is remarked about town and is
probably the fact that an income tax
act will be presented by a member
of either the House or Senate and
pressed with all the power that its ad-
yocates can command. Whether the
Government will oppose the act or
suggest a compromise involving in
PRODUCTION OF entirely new methods is
question that can be answered only
in time.

cane all serious consequences and re-
ceive a sentence or three years ban
ishment TO a spot thousand miles
distant instead of the death penalty.
Or on the other hand. when the rela-
tives OF the murdered men are power
full enough TO make themselves heard
by the officials. and TO demand the
strict observance of the leXtalionis,
the rich criminal may purchase a sub
stitute from among the beggar class,
or perhaps an old faithful servant OF
the family may be permitted to forfeit
his life in his masters stead.
But never has it happened since
China had a history that one who had
has conuived to buy himself off and
escape the 'lingchi," or oX-eared
knife, and the execuuoner's heavy
two-handed sword. So deeply has the
doctrine OF the ancient sages on the
observance of filial piety become root
ed in the hearts of the people of China
that no magistrate would dare to eNer-
else leniency by taking into considera-
ton the circumstances that led TO q
case OF parricide or matricide with
the view of mitigating the doom fixed
by law Not only would the magis-
trate incur thereby the danger of vio-
lence from the mob, but he would
subverJ the obedience due from his
own family. A parricide not only
brings certain death on himself. but
disgrace on the district in which he
resides. In the case where both par
ents are victims Chinese law ordains
that a corner of the district city walls
shall be pulled down as a lasting
chornicle of the shame and disgrace
of the district in having sheltered such
q monster
The magistrate and local officials
are cashiered and debarred for ever
from public employment as a punish
ment for not having taught more effec-
lively the doctrine of filial piety. while
the Governor of the province, with his
colleagues. the Treasurer and Judge.
together with the taotai and prefect
of the district, are all degraded several
steps in rank.

According 10 reports furnished to the

Chief Clerk of the Chinese bureau,
contract Chinese have arrived in this
country since the re-importation be-
gan as follows: In 1S95-6-7, 1888. OF
this number SO have died. Two have
been declared lepers and sent to Molo-

106, leaving in the country at the pres

Chinese bureau under Mr. Girvin has
done a business of S24,439, at a net
profit TO the Government of S17,752.93
During the term of service of the
present Chief Clerk he has instituted
new fees which have realized more
tan $4,000. These have not been stud,

ENGENDERS FILIAL PIETY.
One Law in China That is Always
Enforced.

The North China Daily News says
that in China, when parent has met
with death at the hands of son or
daughter, no circumstances OF inten-
ton or age are permitted to interfere
with the infiction of the penalty,
which is that of the ''lingch'i," follow
ed by decapitation. Any mitigation
of this cruel sentence would be con-
sidered by the Chinese as aiming a
blow at the fundamental principle of
filial duty which is supposed TO be
the groundwork of their code. Time
and again has the penalty of ''lingch'f'
been recorded against parricides or
matricides. even when they happened
to be idiots or lunatics, and therefore
not accountable for their actions.
The corruption and venality of the
great mass Of officials in this empire
has become a by-word, and it is not
strange, therefore, that justice can cas-
lily be evaded through bribery. Thus
a wealthy man who has been guilty
of killing a fellow-creature, whether
by premeditation or accident, can es-
