ones,ions to Re discussed

Cleveland. O., May MANY questions
of supreme Importance to the denomina-
ton, and action upon which will be
awaited with intense interest by Metho-
dists the world over, will be acted upon
during the months session of the gen.
eral conference. Chief among these is
the question Of admitting women dele
gates. This issue has been voted upon
by all the annual conferences, but the
necessary t~hree-fourths vote has not
been secured. the total vote being 1876
for admission and 2.529 against. The
women have, therefore, lost by eighteen
votes, and a change of ten votes would
give them seats in the conference. -Four
ONE delegates are accredited to the
present gathering, but as the committee
on credentials must be governed by the
existing rules, they canno be recog-
nized to take any part in the proceed
ings.
The proposition to change he basis
of ministerial representation from one
delegate for every forty-five ministers
to one for every sixty-five has also been
lost.
The question of abolishing the time
limit Is also an important one. At pres
ent no minister of the church can re-
main pastor of one church for mora
than five consecutive years. This is
based on the old itinerant theory of the
denomination, and 1t is now proposed to
abolish the time limit. 1t Is doubtful
however. whether the proposition will
carry. An effort will be made to modify
the rules Of discipline adopted by the
conference of 1872 against dancing, card
playing, theater going, attending cir
cusas and horse races or ~patronizing
dancing schools. 1t is contended that
these rules ave barred out from the de-
nomination tens of thousands of young
people Who otherwise would be glad tc
Identify themselves with it. Several
new bishops will be elected, together
with numerous officials. including book
agents, society secretaries and editors.

A National Art Commission.

New YORK SUM-.
An interesting bill, to create an art
commission of the United States. has
been introduced in the senate by Mr..
Harssbrough of North Dakota, and has
received the approval Of the committee
on the congressional library.
The commission to be organized under
this bill is to consist Of five pei sons. who
must De citizens of the United States
and eminently distinguished in litera-
ture and the fine arts. They are to be
appointed by the president. by and with
Tho advice and consent of the senate.
No terra of office is fixed by the act, so
presumably they are to serve DUNG
good behavior. No compensation Is pro-
yided for. but a permanent meeting
nishel in the library building at Wash
ington, and the commission is to have
the ervices of a page II messenger.
The members of the art commission
Of the United States thus constituted
nus convene semi-annually in the
city of Washington for the purpose OF
examining the art collections In the cap
itol and the congressional library build
ings. and also to inquire into the condi-
ton and make inspection Of the con-
gressional library opel and to exam
Inc all works of art offered for sale or as
q donation to the United States for use
in the capitol or congressional library
buildings" An annual report of the re-
suits of such examination and inspec-
ton, with such recommendations as the
commission may deem proper, Is to be
made to the president, and q copy there
of is to be furnished at the same time to
the joint committee of the senate and
the house on the congressional library.
The project embodied in this bill is a
very good n e If it can be carried u
At little or no additional expense to the
people, it would provide congress with
intelligent and artistic advice in regard
to the art collections of the government
at Washington. and especially in refer.
ence to the acceptance or rejection OF
works OF art which congress is asked 10
buy or accept. OF course, everything
would depend upon the ability OF the
members of the commission; but IL
ought to be esteemed an honor to re-
ceive such an appointment. and the
president should have no difficulty IN
finding five men In whose judgment PEG
pie Of taste throughout h country
would have more confidence than they
nave in the unassisted judgment OF con-
gress in artistic matters.

ease. l continued to take them, buying
a second box, and when l had nearly fin

eurTEp EACH OTHER.
Row Two Negroes In Slavery Days Tried
to Settle "a Trifing Dispute.

"One of the most novel conflicts I ever
saw between two belligerents of the
human race" said Milo Stafford, of
New Orleans, to q writer for the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, "took place be-
tween two negroes on my plantation a
few years before the war. A dispute
had arisen between them over the pos
session of an old pair of trousers, and
they were just on the point Of begin
ming hostilities when | arrived at a
point where | could take in the scene
without being observed by them. l
suppose most people will call it brutal,
but | determined to let them go ahead
and pound n another for a while,
thinking the matter might as well be
settled between them then and there, as
l knew If I interfered they would have
it out at some future time. l was not
prepared. however, for the mode of
warfare they selected. Immediately
they clasped their arms around each
other and began butting Their heads to-
gether like a pair Of sheep.
That they were in dead earnest was
evinced by the terrible force of the
blows, which sounded as loud as a we'll
executed clap OF the hands. There was
no attempt al boxing, only butting, and
SO etfectually was it performed that in
Il worry short time the heads of both an
tagonists We're covered with blood.
After continuing the fight for about five
minutes both broke away and sat down
to rest and recover their breath prepar-
atory to renewing the encounter, as
neither signifed his willingness to give
up. Thinking that the affair had gone
far enough I stepped from where I had
been concealed and demanded that they
patch up their differences in a more
peaceable way, and warned them that
if any renewal of hostilities occurred
they would he sulnmarily dealt with.
This warning had the desired effect and
half an hour later l saw them working
side by side, chatting with each other
cordially, as If their recent fight had no
place even in their memories"

The Beautiful.

A thing OF beauty is a Joy forever;
Its loneliness Increases; 1t will never
Pass into n~othingness; but sttll will Keep
A bower quiet for us and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health and
quiet breathing,
Therefore, on every morrow, We are
A fiowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of dependence, of the nhuman
dearth
OF all the unhealthy and o~'erdarkened
Made for our searching eyes. In spite OF
all,
Some shade of beauty moves away the
From our lark spirits. Such the sun, the
Trees old and young, s%prouting a shady
boon
For simple sheep: and such are daffodils
With the green world they live In; and
clear rills
That for themselves a cooling covert
'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest
brake
Rich with a s%prinklins of fair musk-rose
blooms;
And such, loo, is the grandeur of the
We have Imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely taies that We have heard or
read;
An endless fountain Of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heavens brink.
Nor do we merely feel these essences
That whisper round a temple become soon
Dear as the temples self, SO does the
moon,
The passion, poesy. glorics Infinite.
Unto our souls and bound to us so fast
That, whether there be shine or gloom DER
east,
They always must be with us or we die.

Some years ago a Kansas City gentle
man made a tour of England and Wales
on a bicycle with a party of friends.
All of the tourists. with the exception
of himself. rode safety wheels. He used
an old fashioned high wheel, and he
says IL he was making the trip again
he would not have any other kind. His
elevated perch enabled him to look with
ease over the walls which hedge in the
fine country estates. while the safety
riders had to lean their wheels up

saddles to see inside of the Enclosures.

why One Feels Chilly When Lying

The reason is simply this: Nature
takes the time. when n is lying down
to give he heart rest. and that organ
consequently makes ten strokes less a
minute than when one is in an upright
posture. Multiply that by sixty minutes
and it is 600 strokes. Therefore in eight
hours spent in lying down the heart is
saved nearly 5000 strokes, and as the
heart pumps six ounces of blood wit:
each stroke it lifts 10000 ounces less of
blood in q night Of eight hours spent in
bed than when IL Is in an upright po-
sition. As the blood flows so muck more
slowly through the veins when one is
lying down. one must supply then with
extra coverings the warmth usually fur
nisfed by circulation.
