THE PASTOR QUIT.
Texas Minister Saw Bull Fight and
Was Forced eIat

+ Texas Mintster Saw 3 Bull Fight and
Was Forced 0at.
The Rev. w. Pope PFedger, pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church at
Beaum onf, Texas, has resigned his
charge Becouse of a storm Of hostile
criticism which was brought about by
recent aet of his. Last spring, it is
said, there was cheap excursion to
Monterey, Mexico, and the minister
and two deacons of his church took
advantage of. the low rates. The an
nusl bull fights were taking place at
the time. These exhibitions were given
on Sunday and were attended BY the
preacher, the deacons and many Of the
excurSionists.
When the party returned to Beau
mont storm Of hostile criticism was
directed against Mr.: PIedger. He. de-
clared he attended the fights: to
broaden his fund. OF knowledge, and
not for the love Of brutal sport. But
many members of: his parish demanded
that he acknowledge bis error and re-
pentance publicly. which he refused to-
do. In his sermon. Of resignation last
Sunday be said:
There is a bold disposition on the
part of many ministers to dictate to-
their fiocks what they shall eat, drink
and wear. They would narrow the life,
down to reading the Bible and going.
TO preaching and Sunday school,
J. lit is this class of minister's +h,+
nave produced a narrow-minded and
hide-bound church: If they had it in
their power, they would not allow the
Lord to save anybody except in con-
formity with their notion Of how such
a thing ought to be- DONE.
= These are the people who have
criticised me for going into saloons
and trying to win men for Christ.
They think a minister should carry
a great amount Of dignity, wear a.
clerical coat, a collar buttoned behind.
a: vest that buttons somewhere in the
regions out of sight (whether on the
side or at the back), and that he should
have a certain manner and wear a.

but when it comes to reaching men and
leading souls to Christ, he is a dismal
failure. / would rather be- a. f1rst-cIass

RELIGIOUS FAST DAYS AID
@ THE INDUSTRY.
salted Cod Is an Extremely Popular
Article OF Food in All Catholic Coun-
r tries-The Cod Is the Most Important
in Commerce. 7 <.

..t IT,. y - s
Though most of the sturdy fshfolk
Of Newfoundland are Protestants, they
derive the larger part of their living
from the people of Roman Catholic
countries. The fact that in the course
of the year there are many fast days,
when millions of Roman Catholics eat
little animal food, except fish, has been
a godsend to the greatest fishing
countries, which have thus been pro-
vlded with certain and regular markets
for their fish. It is well known that
the inhabitants of the temperate zones
are eating less and less salt fish. Pick
led herring, twenty years ago, was
landed to the amount of scores of
thousands of barrels a year at a few
leading northern ports Of America and
Europe. Scarcely barrel of this com
modify is now to be seen in these ports
unless landed for trans shipment to the
Roman Catholics of subtropical and
tropical countries, which are buying
more salt fish than ever as they grow
IN population. The cod is commercial
ly the most important of fishes. The
only reason that makes it so is because
talted cod is an extremely popular ar
ticle Of food in all Roman Catholic
countries on account of its nutritive
qualities and cheapness. Protestant
countries eat comparatively little cod,
and most of that is fresh instead of
cured. When the fishermen of all ma.
lions toss their hand lines baited- for
cod over the side Of their little vessels.
clean and salt the catch as they haul it
overheard, : and then, after reaching
port expose it on rude platforms to the
sunshine till it is faky white and
thoroughly dried, it is certain that
they are working for the Roman Cath
olic part of the world. Well cured cod,
to be sure, is not to be disdained by
any one; nevertheless by far the larger
part Of it is eaten by Catholics. It is
the fresh cod of our inland fisheries
that has supplied most Of our markets,
while the salted cod of the banks is
chiefly sold either in Catholic copn-
tries or in lands where that religious
element is large. The welI-known
"stockfish'' of commerce is the dried
cod of Norway and Sweden, and it is
shipped at once for the southern parts
Of Europe. These lands of many fast
days also buy the Scottish dried cod.
Wells filed with salt water in the hold
of English cod vessels keep the fish
alive till it arrives fresh i'm the mar
kets; for the English eat very few
cured Goldfish. Frances cod catch is
almost as large as our own, and her,
fishermen are sent thousands of miles
to the banks to catch and cure the
great stores of cod which this Catholic
country requires. It is not Great
Britain, but rather Italy, Spain, Por-
Euga1, and Brazil that are the largest
buyers of the cured. fish which is the
greatest resource of Newfoundland
These countries pay cash, too, for they
10 not send Newfoundland in commod-
ties one-tenth of the value Of the fish
hey buy from her. Canada's exports
% Italy in 1896 were wholly fish; to
Spanish West Indies, seven -ninths fish:

CHINESE
WOMEN


Wu-Ting-Fang, the talented Chinese
Minister at Washington, speaks inter-
-estingly of the women of his country.
According to his statements the wo-
men of China are much like those of
he United States so far as occupation
Ind amusement go. They do not have
he same freedom of society with men
hat American women enjoy, but they
ire not secluded in any such way as
ire the women of Turkey, or other
Mohammedan countries. They meet,
Without restriction, the intimate male
friends of their respective households,
Ind their husbands do not try to pre-
vent them from knowing the men
whom they admit to their own close
Acquaintance.
The women in China frequently
smoke pipes, but they are of the class
known as water pipes, or hubblebub-
oles, and the tobacco is very mild.
They play cards, chess and dominoes
Ind read novels. From their point of
1ieW household duties are in no way
lerogatory. Among the well-to-do
classes, the women never go. to mar

ooked after by the cooks. The wages
