DISCUSSION OF RESOLUTIONS.

The best Of good feeling prevailed
throughout the days discussion OF the
resolutions. but there was apparent an
undercurrent Of determination TO fight II
out on the part Of the respective adj
vocates OF the majority and minority re-
ports.
Rev. J. A. Price opened the discussion
in favor Of the majority report by saying
that the Methodist Church Is noted for
the work of its laymen. Other denomi-
nations give laity representation. so
that the Methodist Episcopal Church
stands alone I'm this respect. As they
are represented in the quarterly confer
ence and General Conference, they should
also have representation in the annual
conference The laymen have an inter-
est in all the beneflcences. IN the mat
ter OF education and other questions:
they furnish the money. and should
have something to say about how II IS
expended. AS we now stand, Mr.. Price
said, we are non-Catholic, non-Metho-
dist. non-American.
Taking ND the matter of the election
Of presiding elders. he said that as II is
now constituted, the office is very un-
popular The election of presiding elders
Is needed, for we ere willing to trust

bishops Jointly with the presiding elders.
In conclusion. Mr.. Price said: There
has been such an administration of our
affairs for years that there should be a
change. and even some of those who are
opposed 10 these resolutions say so, too"
Rev. S. H. Cummings. the blind clergy
man, spoke against the resolutions In
humorous strain. full OF yelled satire,
which kept his auditors in laughter most
of the time His sentiment "There Is
nothing | love 90 much as the old Alma
Mater OF Methodlsm; II is well founded,
well grounded. and divinely Illuminated"
was applauded.
Rev. NJ. +. B. Price. OF Washington.
favored all the resolutions. Rev. DIR.
Hugh Johnson. also Of Washington IA
vored lay representation, but as he OPP
posed the other two propositions, he
would vote against them all.

plauded.
On motion, the resolutions went over
until tomorrow morning.
The lay electoral conference was or
ganzed by the selection OF James j. In
gram as president. There was a lively
parliamentary tangle over the Bacon
resolutions. which finally resulted in those
resolutions and all others being referred
TO the Committee on Resolutions.

tons were adopted almost unanimously

IF WOMEN HAD CONTROL

If all the men were women, and all the

How very, very different would life seem
TO US then.
hag CINE girls with flowing boards and men
With trailing gowns;

That he might wear his present clothes, by

Ina gine women trading with distant for

The women sneertng mildly, intending to

The pitying contempt they had for men

And then imagine women complaining

When, women rose in council their hobbies
to rehcarse,
They might improve the present modes
they couldn't make 'em worse;
They'd clean Chica COS dirty streets, which

They'd levy taxes honestly, and spend 'em

And every rogue that rules us now would

JAPANESE MOMAN's MAKEUP.

In JAPAN it is quite recognized thing
Il that woman should make up her
face with powder and paints, and
without doing so she would no more
think herself fit to appear in public than
we should If we failed to perform our
morning ablutions.
The process OF making up is some What
complicated, To begin with. the fair lady
smears q thick layer OF white chalk, with
a soft brush, on her face, neck, shoulders.

her foreringer into red paint, she carefully
colors her cheeks, temples and then over
her eyes.
Her middle finger is used for the black
pigment, with which she touches up her
eyebrows, unless she has had them shaved
off, and blackens under the eyes to i'm
prove their expression.
With her little finger she gives the fin
ishing touches to her artistic efforts add
ing to tier lips some brilliant carmine and
a little bit OF gold to set off the cha rms of
the lower lip.
The process OF making up is no doubt
a little troublesome, but all well-to-do
women undergo 1t daily.

HON TO CARE FOR THE NAILS.

Wv yOMEN never cared more carefully
wv for their nails than now, but the
woman of taste avoids extremes in
this as in all things. Pink nails are ad-
mired because a perfect nail should be
thin enough to show the rosy blood be-
meath, but nail glowing with the red
salve of the toilet table is no better liked
than lips and checks which owe their bril-
liancy to the rouge pot. Nor is an artificial
polish to be recommended; the natural
gloss merely should be maintained and
heightened. The best authorities forbid
the use of the nailbrush. Any dust or soil
may be removed with a bit of cotton
wound around Il wooden toothpick or bit
Of orange wood; the small emery boards
which are sold everywhere for the pur-
pose keep the under surface of the nail so
smooth that little or nothing can adhere.
