NEW ASTRAL LAW.

Boston House Painter Thinks 1t viii

revolution around the sun, but rather
by yearly revolution of the sun in all

equatorial axis.

worships before the tablet of Shang III

the anciert imperial monotheism
Twice 4 year he burns incense before
the tablets Of his ancestors in accord
ance with Confucianism. Twice q
year he sacrifices to the gods of Tao
ism and twice a year to the image of
Buddha. The ancient ard primitive
religion of China is mono hciStic. but
this direct worship was REGARDED rs
too sublime for the people. so that it
became reserved for the emperor alone
as the "son of heaven" and as priest
OF the nation. The people on their
part worshiped their ancestors, and 1t
was this ancestral religion which Con
fucius identified himself with and re-
formed. The old superstitions rejected
by Confucius were absorbed by Tao

Of articles for export. This will assist
our home manufacturers to compete in

In detail the changes in schedules
are roughly as follows: There are slight
increases in certain so called luxuries
including perfumery, toilet articles,
fancy soaps, chicory and substitute
for coffee, cocoa and cocoa butter
spices, feathers, furs, and the like. In
creass5 are also made on coal tar dyes,
zinc, peas, figs, lemons, pineapples,
mercerized cotton, surface coated pa

pulp is made free when imported from
countries that have no export duty
Cheaper grades of print paper are ma
teriaIly reduced. A large number Ct
drugs and chemicals are cut, while
copperas, Iicorice, cottonseed oil and
some other articles in kind are p!aceo
on the free list.
There is material reduction in
building materials of almost all varie
ties, including lumber. Perhaps the
most sweeping cut is on iron, steel and
other metal products, which amounts
in most cases to so per cent. This IS
one reduction that cannot be greatly
affected by the reciprocity clause.
Sugar is reduced four one -hundredths
of cent per pound. Agricultural and
food products are cut, some of them
materially. Wool is left practically un-
affected, except carpet wool and top
waste, which are slightly reduced.
Soft or bitumnous coal is admitted
free from all countries admitting
American coal free. Hides are placed
on the free list, which is a greater
proPortionate reduction than that on
shoes and other leather products.
Works of art over twenty years old are
