the lower tribes of men. Every one has
heard about the wampum of our eastern
Indians. 1t was made Of clam and other
shells, cut and worked to the shape of
"bugle" beads, and was used for currency,
recording events, making treaties and in
religious ceremonies. The finest old wam-

Chinese Minister has notified the De-
partmcnt OF State that the Chinese
government would retaliate if the Geary
act is enforced. Gresham declared that
the recent interview between himself
and the Chinese Minister on the decision
OF the Supreme Court on the Geary law
was pleasant and friendly. Not word
nor an intimation of a threat was used
during the interview. No verbal or
written statement from the Chinese
government has been received since the
decision to indicate that the Emporer
proposes retaliation. When asked If
any steps had been taken towards the
enforcement Of the law, Gresham
replied that the matter was in the hands
of the Secretary of the Treasury. So
far as he knew nothing had been done.

The Equipment Of "A MedievaI Church.
As for the vast numbers actually main
talned by the church the single example
of St. PaHPs cathedral, of course the
largest foundation in the city, will furnish
an illustration. In the year 1850 the socie-
ty, the cathedral body, included the fol-
lowing: The bishop, the dean, the four
archdeacons, the treasurer, the precentor.
the chancellor, thirty great canons, twelve
lesser canons, about fifty chaplans or
chantry priests, and thirty Wears.
or inferior rank to these were the sacrist
and three vergers, the succentor, the mas
ter Of the singing school, the master Of the
grammar school, the almoner and his four
vergers, the servitors, the surveyor, the
twelve scribes, the book transcrber, the
bookbinder, the chamberlain, the rent col
lector, the baker, the brewer--the brewer,
who brewed In 1886 81, ,s14 gallons, must have
employed good many; the baker, who
ovened every year 10000 loaves, or every
day more than a hundred, large and
small, employed a good many more; the
servants Of all these officers, the singing
men and choir boys, Of whom priests were
made, the bedesmen and poor folk, the
sections, grave diggers, gardeners, bell
ringers, makers and members of the eccle-
siastical robes, cleaners and sweepers, car
penters, masons, painters, carvers and
gilders-one can very well understand that
the Church Of St. Paups alone must have
found livelihood for thousands.
The same equipment was necessary in
every other religious foundation. Not a
monastery but had its greater and lesser
officers and their servants In every one
there were the bell ringers, the singing
men and boys, the yergers, the gardeners,
the brewers, bakers, cooks, messengers,
scribes, rent collectors, and all complete
as was st. Paul's, though on a smaller
scale. 1t does not seem too much to estl-
mate the ecclesiastical establishments Of
London as including fourth part Of the
whole population Of the city.-Walter Be

Street Car Lodgers.

"pm picking up dodgers early tonight. I"
remarked the conductor of Third avenue
open surface car, as we bowled up the Bow
cry at O'Clock the other evening, and he
pointed to man seated opposite and fast
asleep, with his hat drawn over his eyes
He'll ride all the way to Harlem," con-
tinued the conductor, there he'll be
shaken up and take another car and come
back, and you can bet he'll sleep all the
way. Two or three such trips use up the
night, and it's as cheap as going to lodg-
ing house. On very warm nights often
have as many as half dozen such pas
sengers. New York Herald.

A Foot Measuring MACHINE,

A Baltimore man has recently taken out
patents for a machine that takes the meas
ure of foot just as the familiar apparatus
used by the hatters measures and draws a
diagram of mans head. The principle
Of the machine is the same, series of
movable pins conforming to the outline of
the foot and registering the shape thus in
dicated. 1t is rather coincidence to note
in this connection that the diagram made
by hat measuring machine invariably re-
sembles an old shoe.-New York Journal

synod Of New York, but it does not appear to
be best TO do so in this exceptional case for the
following reasons:
l. To secure the peace and quiet of the
church 1t Is essential that a final determination
OF the fundamental and important questions
involved should be reached by the court of last
resort at the earliest practicable date.
z. As this case involves doctrine it must be
finally determined by the general assembly.
The delay in reaching ultimate decision
not be less than year. during which the char
acter OF instruction given our candidates for
the gospel ministry might be unfavorably af-
fected. By securing the speedy decision of the
court OF last resort in this case. neither the
rights nor the interests of any individual would
suffer.
8. If the appeal should go to the synod of
New York and be passed upon by that judica-
tory. when the case reaches the general assem-
bly, by appeal from the decision of the synod,
all of the presbyteries constituting that synod
would be excluded from representation in the
final determination Of these important ques-
tions. IL the appeal goes directly to the as
sembly the commissioners from only one pres
bytery in the entire church would be excluded
from sitting, celebrating and voting in the
final decision. In the synod of New York there
are thirty-two presbyteries nearly Is per cent
of the whole number of presbyteries in the
church. lnasmuch as all these presbyteries. ex-
cepting one. would be fully represented and
heard In the general assembly. and the gen.
eral assembly alone can give a final decision, we
believe the time ard the interests OF the synod
OF New York will be best conserved if the as
sembly should entertain the appeal according
to the committees request. This important
consideration OF having these questions finally
determined by the representatives of substan-
TALLY the entire church. apart from tho other
reasons above mentioned. would seem TO re-
quire. in the interest of fairness and justice to
all concerned. that the prosecuting committee
should take an appeal directly to the general
assembly and that the general assembly should
entertain said appeal.
GEoUNDs OF APPEAL.
Appended is detailed statement Of the
grounds of appeal, each supported by num-
Der of specifications. The grounds of appeal
are as follows:
l. Irregularity in the proceedings of said
presbytery of New York
III. Receiving improper testimony.
I'LL Declining to receive important testi-
mony.
". Manifestation of prejudice In the con-
duct of the case.
V. Mistake or injustice in the decision.
Among the specifications to support the
fourth ground OF appeal-manifestation of
prejudice in the conduct of the case-is one
quoting from utterances made by members of
the presbytery, sitting in judicial capacity,
who afterward voted not to sustain the charges.
The members whose statements are quoted are
Rev. DR.. George Alexander. Rev. Antonio

WHEN A WOMAN Is IN DEBT.
| II She Owes Five Cents 1t Worries Her as
Much Larger Sum.

II She Owes Five Cents 1t Worries Her as
Much as a Larger Sum.
From the Indianapolis journal.
The financial transactions of many women
are conducted after a plan which the mind of
the average man finds difficult of comprehen-
sion. Debt rests upon their minds with a
weight that is apt to be in inverse ratio to the
amount involved. Five cents weighs as heavily
upon their conscience as S. but when the OBJ
legation mounts into the hundreds or goes en-
tirely past their power of liquidation the bur-
den becomes light as summer air and they cast
it aside jauntily. 1t is in small matters. how
ever. that their peculiarities are most notice.
able. Men make merry over their ways at the
soda fountains and the fashion of half dozen
of them walking to the counter upon the sug-
gestion of one and taking a dutch treat
each paying for her own glass. Their fashion
of disputing over the question as to which shall
pay the fare when two or three are gathered
together on the cars has also served to point
many jests.
But there is a phase OF the matter that has
escaped the critical masculine attention. These
same women who may accept tickets and ca INDY
and car fare and lunches at the hands of men
with no oppressive sense of obligation what
ever have very different feeling when another
woman pays the bill. For some mysterious
reason they cannot bear to be indebted to other
women. ''What do you think Of this?" said a
well-known Indianapolis lady day or two ago.
81 was on an Illinois street car and next to me
was Mrs. -, with her arms and shopping
bag full Of packages. The conductor was COM
ing and she was about to lay down her bundles
and explore the depths of her bag for nickel.
SO to save trouble paid her fare. She thanked
me, and l thought nothing more of it till this
evening, when her servant came to my door
and handed me cents, which Mrs. - said
she owed me. For moment felt dreadfully
insuited, and was on the point Of sending back
n sharp message. but L reflected that she prob.
ably meant no offense. But if she had paid
my fare | never "ou.d have dreamed Of return
ing il, and what would she have thought of me.
Just think OF a man sending a message to his
neighbor to pay Scent street car debt
Certainly We women are rum creeturs.'"
