WOMEN AND METHODISM.

The woman question was tangled up
important political factor. Early in
the history of American Methodism the
demand of woman to be heard in church
councils set the brethren by the ears.
though it is fair to say that the friends
of the woman's side of the case were at
first very few. But the women have
persisted from year to year, and in re-
cent times they have won partial vic
tories, and now the annual conferences
are each year stirred up over the prop
osition to admit women as delegates to
the General Conference. the chief legis-
lative body of the church.
The conference Of 1892 or 1893, we be-
lieve, decided against the proposition
by a heavy majority, but this has not
discouraged the women, and they are
pushing their claims as vigorously as
ever. They hold that. as they are numer-
Eically the stronger sex in the church,
they should have representation in its
legislative bodies. That this is based
on moral as well as legal right; that to-
refuse them representation is to deny
equity and defy the law of common JUS
tice.
The opponents of this view fall back
upon the New Testament and quote ST.
Paul against the women, since he de-
clared they must keep silence In the

variant. st. Paul did not understand
women, and was rather a woman-hater
than otherwise; in fact, the church has
admitted women to be teachers, and
preachers, and gladly welcomes them
into the pulpit as such" ~
Their opponents respond with the ira
ditions of the church and its law since
the day it was first written. But the
anything should remain as it is, because
it always has been so?" Now the Cen
eral Conference meets next month, and
the women and their advocates are go
ing before it again to renew the battle
for representation by female voice and
vote. They will come up this time for
titled by votes and expressions of the
church here and there, giving them
much strength, and these expressions
the General Conference cannot ignore
wholly. The first step the woman ad-
vCcates will take will be in the direc-
ton of demand for decree that women
may be ordained to the ministry and
capacitated to take pastorates. Sec
ondly, they will demand that a leveling
process be started that will obliterate
sex discrimination from the laws of
the church, and place men and women
on perfect equality in the church ad-
ministration.
The outcome of the approaching con-
test is awaited with much anxiety by
the women suffragists in California,
since they claim that whatever the de-
cision it will considerably influence pub
lie judgment in the matter of extension
OF the suffrage to women, proposition
upon which we are to vote in this State
before many moons pass.
But however the church may pass
upon this question, we cannot concede
that it will serve the suffragists any
good end in the campaign going on
What church does relative to ordain-
ing woman for the ministry, or giving
her a voice in the administration Of
church economy, cannot cut any figure
in the decision Of the question whether
it is for woman's best interest that she
go to the polls and take up active work
in the field of State politics. In these
matters church and State are wide
apart, and should SO remain, and we be-
lieve that woman's fitness to vote in
church councils can have no place in
the determination of what is for the
best interests of woman and Of So
ciety in the political field.

The friends of the Chicago Permanent
Arbitration Committee fad are losing
something of their enthusiasm. They
find that while the people are not op-

they are not coming over to the per

truth is that the people understand that
the adoption of the Chicago idea would
mean practical annexation Of this coun-

According to the Medical Record
which has been following the exper-
iments with special interest, there is
some reason to believe that, there has
been real progress made in treating for
typhoid fever with antitoxine serum.
1t seems that Professor Chantemesse Of
the Pasteur Institute has gone so far
as to be able to make the following in
teresting report Of progress:
Since the month Of June last year I
have immunized several horses against
the typhoid virus. The serum that /
obtained possesses preventive power
SO great that one-fifth of drop with
which a guinea pig was inoculated twen-
ty-four hours beforehand protected it
effectively against the dose of typhoid
virus which was mortal for other ami
mails which had not been inoculated
After having assured myself that this
serum was preventive and curative for
animals, and that it had no bad effects
whatever, either on them or on man in
good health, I utilized it in treating
three typhoid patients. Seven days
after the beginning Of the injections
these three patients were restored to
health. = - a-
Of'course, three cases treated do not
establish the correctness of the theory
involved, but they go towards the
making up of number that can be ac-
cepted as proving what is hoped for.
What we must look forward to is the
further pursuit of the subject by this
distinguished scientist until he shall
have demonstrated that at last the
dreaded typhoid may be throttled and
robbed Of most of it's terrors.

Diophantus is name of five ancient
persons. We cannot know to which
your book refers. If it touches on math-
ematics it must refer to he of Alexan-
dria, some of whose thirteen books of
arithmetical questions are still extant;
if it refers to rhetoric it means a very
different person. If it refers to antiqui-
ties 1T means Diophantus the Lacedae-

be Diophantus the Pythagorean philos-
opher of Syracuse is referred to.

The metric. system bill has passed
the lower house of Congress and will
unquestionablyI soon become a law.
II has been optional to use the metric
system in legal documents filed with the
Government. But it is now provided
that in all Government departments
the use of the system shall begin on
the 1st of July, and that on and after
January 1, 1901, no other system of
measures, weights and capacity shall be
used in Government offices and depart
ments. That WILL of course, bring the
metric method into general use, since
the several States will for convenience

years and more to bring the rising gen.
GRAFTON to easy use of the system,
while as for the adult population only
a small portion of it will even attempt to
understand it. Indeed while it is not
so very difficult to comprehend, still it
will be very hard to set out of the mind
the old methods and substitute the new.
Practically all men of forty or fifty
years of age will continue to speak of

might work. But here is one thing
that must not be lost sight of by our
contemporary; it is a living principle,
namely, that work under all public re-
lief of that order must be made dis
tasteful, else it will pauperize the re-
cipient. The work must be so hard and
of such a character as 20 make it de-
sirable to get away from 1t and into

this has been demonstrated. 1t is
