A SPLIT IN SIGHT
PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY UP
AGAINST M'GIFFERT CASE.
TWO COMMITTEE REPORTS
Some Of the Members Want Distin-
guished Doctor to Revise His Be
lief and Others Desire That He Re
sign at Once-A Lively Debate on
the Matter Promised.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 24.-Tues-
day was quiet day with the Presby-
terrain general assembly. 1t transacted
a deal of routine business without any
friction and adjourned early in the af-
ternoon to view from trolley car win
dOWs Minneapolis suburban lakes and
Minnehana falls. In the McGiffert
matter the committee on bills and
overtures is considering two reports
and it is likely that it will be presented
as majority and minority reports. One
faction is understood to favor COM
mittee to wait on DR.. McGiffert and IN
vite him to recast his theology on Pres
byterian lines or else have the kindness
to resign without further palaver. The
other, it is said, is along sterner lines
and looks to DR.. McGiffert's involun-
tary withdrawal from the church at
the earliest possible date. The Peoria
overture has a strong following and is
expected to bring out an exciting de-
bate. The liberals in church policy
who include large numbers Of theologi-
cal conservatives are expected to unite
their forces in support of the Peoria
method of appointing committees by
the assembly instead of by the modera-
tor. The report of the COMMITTEES on
aid for colleges and academies was
thoroughly discussed.

COULDN'T FOREGO 1T.

1t was in Bradford. An old man was,

to his rescuer and exclaimed:
''You Nave saved my life, and l can
never repay the debt"

est reply.
But you deserve more than thanks.

you some substantial token of my

"Speak, and it shall be done"
"You are a rich man, and I know
you by name. I am secretary of the
gas company. Every month when you
come in to pay your bill you make a
tremendous row for half an hour, and
declare that we are highway robbers.
If you would only agree
''Not to make a row over my gas

A BEAUTY RECEIPT.

I read in an old book the other day
that Ninon de PEnclos, who was cele-
brated for retaining the complexion of
a 16-year-old girl after she had cele
brated her SEVENTEEN birthday, used
a simple lotion which I am not afraid
to recommend, as I know the exact
value of each ingredient. She or her
maid, probably the latter, mixed half
an ounce of tincture of benzoin with
sixteen ounces of rosewater and ten
drops of altar of roses, and had her
wet skin sponged with this prepara-
ton after the bath. Mixed with an
equal portion of sweet almond oil and
rubbed into the arms and neck daily,
this ought to be a fine tissue builder.

THE STORMY PETREL.
How the Little Bird Matches It's Eggs.
Does Not Sit on Them.

The storm petrels nest just above
the Atlantic surge on the islets near
Iona and the Hebrides. There above
the rock on certain islands is a black,
buttery soil, in which they burrow like
little winged mice, and on nest Of
sea pink lay one white egg. AS this
desertiOn of the regions of light and
air by birds is something outside the
natural course of their lives, it leads
to various odd and unexpected social
complications and domestic problems.
Among the latter is a serious one, the
difficulty of keeping the underground
house clean or moderately cool. 1t is
usually very hot. Sand martins, for
instance, do not attempt to ventilate
their burrows, as rabbits and rats do
neither do kingfshers nor the stormy
petrels when they make their own bur-
rows, and do not creep into chinks be-
tween piles of stones or rocks. Evil
dence of the high temperature of this
'hot chamber" where the young pc
trels are Matched, is seen in very
pretty popular belief in the Outer Heb
rides.
The people say that they hatch their
eggs, not by sitting on them, but by
sitting near them, at a distance of six
inches between them and the opening
of the burrow. Then the petrels turn
their heads and 1000" at them day
and night, and so "hatch them with
their song" This, which sounds like
fable of the east Atlantic islands, has
really a basis of fact. Davenport Ora
ham says that the account is very
correct; though [ never heard the COO
ing noise by day, often did in the
evening. 1t is rather purring noise.
When it's nest is opened UP the bird
is usually found covering few inches
away from its egg" This hot and
stuffy atmosphere may aid the hatch
ing of the eggs; but there is no doubt
that it brings into being other and
very undesirable forms of life. The
nests and burrows of sand martins are
full of most unpleasant insects, and
those of the kingfisher are nearly as
bad.-The Strand.
