DRYING DEAD BODIES.

The Ettiopians are said to dry the bodies
Of their dead, salting them to prevent putre-
faction, and then placing them in a grave
covered with glass, through which the body
is visible. Soms5imes their coffins are thrown
into rivers, and sometimes they are kept in
the houses of the deceaseds friends The an
cient Bactrians suffered the bodies Of their
dead friends and relatives to be dcvoured by
dogs, and even kept large and savage animals
to devour such as lived 70 an extreme age or
became enfeebied and useless through illness
The ancient Christians testified their abhor-

METHoDlsTs' MEETING.
Report of the COMMITTEES as to Remoy-
ing Determinations Existing Against
Conference students.

Report of the Committee rs to Rsmoy-
ing Determinations Existing Against
Conference students.
NEW YoRX, May 22.-Yesterday' session
of the General Methodist Conference was
presided over By Bishop Walden. DR..
Paine. of Ohio. of the committee on educa-
ton. presented report in reference to re-
moving the determinations now existing
against the students of the conference
schools as set forth in the memorial of the
New England conference, which report was
adverse TO memorials. The report pro-
voked some discussion, but was finally
adopted. The committee on ecumenical
council reported resolution in connection
with the coming ccumenical conference,
which recommended that each annual con-
ference should send to clerical ond two lay
delegates. DR.. Walsh offered Al amend
ment that tho delegation consist of but two
representatives instead of four. Adopted
and the report as thus amended was passed.
Then came up the question as to where the
money was to come from to meet the ex-
penses of the delegates to the conference.
DR.. Hunt offered q resolution that the
general conference should not incur any
expense in connection with the ecumenical
council. DI. Smart who is the guardian OF
the funds of the Methodist Book Concern,
then got up and wanted to know where the
money was to come from. He declared
that not one penny of the book concern
fund should be used, and il it was done, il
would simply be misappropristing its funds
and only be dishonest transaction. His
remarks were loudly applauded, and the
resolution OF DIR. Hunt was adopted.
The Committee on Episcopacy then,
through DIR. Lanahan, reported the order Of
elections, and recommended that all nomi-
nations for offices, except bishops should
be made in open conference, without com
ment Bishops will be first elected. then
agents of the book concern, then secretaries
and then editors.
