the mem bers. The record which
some of our Lodges are making in
the improved activity of Lodge
movements and increase of mem
bership is due to the cooperation of
the members and the support they
give to their officers. Like results
can be realized in any Lodge that
pursues like course.
Furthermore, the m m b s

fault finding and criticism, and the
hunting up of something to find
fault with. The Grand Officers OF
this Jurisdiction are doing the best
they know to advance the welfare
of the Order, to economiZe its ex-

and awaken more and more the
spirit of fraternity. They can ac'

ruination under the present plan
stares them in the face. The Step
Rate Plan and the Post Mortem
Deduction Plan are being discussed
with energy and emphasis. The
Step Rate Plan made yearly or in
periods of two, three or five years,
we believe, is the coming plan for
all fraternities. The Post Mortem
Deduction Plan would, in organiz-
ing new society, be both equitable
and Just. But to attempt to graft
it onto an old society would not
only be unjust but is liable to in
volve serious legal complications.

Could Net Be Reinstated.

In the suit of Emma Marshall
against the Grand Lodge of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen
of California, Judge Hunt has given
Judgment in favor of the defendant
Mrs. Marshall sued to recover
$4,000 said to be due on account OF
the life insurance of her late hus-
band, Louis Nelson Marshall, for
some time a member of Harmony
Lodge, No. 8, of San Francisco.
The Court held that the Subordi-
nate Lodge is the agent of the SUI
preme Lodge, and had no right to
accept dues or make a contract for
insurance except within the rules
laid down by the Supreme Lodge;
that these rules were disregarded in
reinstating Marshall after his dues
had lapsed, and that Marshall has
no right to recover the amount OF
the policy.

Stand Dy FfateFhbty'
Since the change in the assess
ment system in the A. o. u. W.,
whereby it was relieved Of impend-
ing disaster, and placed upon safe
foundation, it is not uncommon to
hear old members urge that the
fraternity of the Order has been
lost, because a difference has been
made in the amount of assessments
due at the different ages. The idea
of fraternity, which was taught in
the Order at its beginning was that
of equality among the members,
and that it was worth Just as much
to protect one mans home as an
others, and that, therefore, the
rate of assessments should be the
same to all alike. These ideas
were very beautiful in theory, and
thev have taken a deep lodgment
in the minds of the members who
were members at the time they
were taught. Experience, however,
finally forced the A. o. U. w. to
recognize that there is a natural
law of mortality, that it makes the
cost of protecting one mans home
greater than another's, according to
the difference in age, that equity
demanded that difference be
made in accordance with the re
quirements of the cost, and that
without equity there could be no
real fraternity.
The change in the rates of as
sessments are totally disconnected
with the fraternal idea. The mem
bers meet Just the same in the
Lodge rooms, to enjoy their Lodge
meetings and to cultivate those
kindly relations to each other
which calls forth the helping hand
when sickness or other misfortune
makes it necessary. No member
should, therefore, allow himself to
believe for a moment that the fra
ternity of the Order has been I'M
paired by the change of system
On the contrary, the system having
thus been placed upon an equitable
basis, there is far better ground for
the cultivation of fraternity than
there was before, when some of the
members were paying not only
their own costs, but a large part OF
the costs of others.
All such ideas as the one above
noticed should be as promptly dis
missed as possible. But there are
other phases of fraternity which it
would be greatly beneficial to the
Order if the members would cult
vate more. Fraternity means
Brotherhood 1t means the over
looking of the faults of each other,
if fault there be. 1t excludes the
idea of unjust criticisms, and for
bids the existence of dissentions
and complaints. The Brethren
oupbt to bear these facts in mind,
and be governed by these princi-
ples. In the cultivation of kindly
relations to each other, they should
ignore what may be the real fault
of the other, and carefully abstain
from ever INDUCING in criticism OF
imaginary evils. They should faith
fully stand by and sustain the efforts
of their Lodge officers to make their
Lodge meetings interesting, and to
extend their membership. Lodge
officers can do little for the benefit
Of the Lodge in any direction with
ont the support and cooperation OF

BRASS RINGS ARE JEWELRY.

Though Uncle Sam has just decided
that brass finger rings constitute

trymen will accept this classification
for all Purposes, says the New York
Press. He meant to say only THAI
when these articles are imported they
are to be assessed for duty as jcwelry
and not as toys. These rings are com
posed of brass, in imitation Of gold,
and are set with various forms OF
colorcd glass in imitation Of precious
stones They are of sizes suitable 10
be worn by children and also by
"some adults" The importers con-
tended that they we're intended to be
sold chiefly by confectioners and
others in prize packages and that
they were designed for the use and
amusement of children as toys. But
the board of general appraisers In
New York has decided that they be-
long to the class Of articles common
" known as jewelry. The same de-
cision applies to necklaces of glass
beads, to brass chains intended for
watch guards or neck chains and to
hairpins of gilded metal, set with
colored glass. Therefore, as jewelry
these articles must pay duty OF &C

PHOTOGRAPHIC ON MARBLE.
process, Recently Perfected, Which
Il Said to Give Fine
Results,

The following process for making
photographic impressions upon marble
has recently appeared and is said to
give very fine results, says the 6cien-
tifc American. The surface of the
marble is well smoothed but not pol
ished. Upon this is spread q layer OF
the following mixture; Ben2ine, 500
erammes; turpentine, 500 grammes;
bitumen, 50 grammes; beeswaX, .
grammes. This layer Is allowed TO
dry, and the gelatine surface of the
photographic plate is then applied and
an exposure of 20 minutes made by
sunlight. After removing the plate,
wash with gasoline, which takes off
that part of the varnish which has not
been acted upon by the light, and the
image gradually appears. The action
Of the gasoline is stopped at the desired
point by washing in stream Of wa,
ter. The surface thus prepared is
plunged into an alcoholic solution OF
Prussian blue, eosine red, etc. Wher
the color has penetrated by capillary
action. the layer of varnish Is taken of
and the surface of the marble finely
polished. In this way permanent
image of fine color and great depth II
| obtained.

Ike Chicago, where many buildings

that city. A physician Of repute tells
how this should be done.
Usually" he said, "a person will
tread on the ball Of the foot in TAX

and wearing on the muscles of the
legs and feet. You should IN walk

most equal distribution of the body's
weight possible. In walking upstairs
your feet should be placed squarely
down on the step, heel and all, and
then the work should be performed
slowly and deliberately. IN this way
there is no strain upon any particu-
lar muscle, but each one is doing its
duty in a natural manner. The WON
an who goes upstairs with q spring
is no philosopher, or, at least, she is
not making o proper use of reasoning

hensible. In any cxertion of the kind
when the heart is naturally excited t.
@ more rapid action, it Is desirable
that the lungs should have full play

besides her decided histrionic talent,

Of liberty. Miss Tull's height, which
IS considerably over six feet, naturally
limits her field of endeaVor on the

it is not exaggerating to say that she
stands head and shoulders above her
rivals. On western tour some time

her name, calling her Miss Mary Tall
