were void Of spiritual life: many were
sunk into the lowest vice without re-
straint or reproof. The governing classes
were perhaps even feebler and more cor

Charles. Sir George Trevelyans in his ad-
mirable work on the American revolution,
has show how England's failure in her
struggle with her colonies was in no small
degree due to her immortality and corrup-
ton; and that was when a distinct moves

been the condition of a quarter of a CEN

purity and earnestness of the English

TIE FROG AS A sWIMHEE
Human Beings Can Get Many Point
ers from These Little ais

"a swimmer, no matter whether he is a
beginner or an expert, cannot improve up
on the advice of his great-grandfather,
which is to go to a brook or swamp and
the manner and methods Of the
frog" remarked an ~ex-champion recently.
.'The most expert swimmers in the
world are tyros compared to the LATEST
bullfrogs. The difficulty with all swim
mers is that they spoil the effect OF the
stroke by the recovery. When a frog
starts off he draws his legs carefully and
slowly up under him until he Is in the
position of a man sitting on his launches.
Then he suddenly gives a mighty spring In
the water, kicking his legs out. not behind
him, but always directly sidewise. After
the kick his legs are slowly drawn to-
gether by his motion through the water
until they hang out behind him in q per-
fectly rigid form.
Every toe on his web foot Is held out
as straight as an arrow and then nothing
retards his motions through the water.
He will lie In this position until every bit
of the momentum is ~lost-that is, until he
has gone as far as the force Of the kick
will send him through the water. Then
again he slowly and carefully draws his
legs in and repeats the performance. You
viii notice that In drawing the legs up to
his body for a second kick the frog re-
cedes a little. This Is owing to HI action
of the upper leg on the water, and 1t cor
responds exactly with the similar move
mant on the part OF a man. The first
thing a frog does is TO give his body q
good start through the water, and he
holds himself in such a way that he gets
the full value of the stroke. A man starts
out with just such a kick. but after he
has gone two or three feet be VIII begin 10
swing his hands forward Or draw up his
legs IN such fashion that they OFFSET the
value II the work. ~ Et8ps hIsE

NEW METHODIST CHURCH
Greenvllie Residents of the
North End Trying to
Organize One.

Mr.. D. W. Hitchcock, a trustee of the
Linden avenue NJ. E. Church has been
striving for the past month TO organize a
new Methodist church in the northern
end OF the Greenville section. The nearest
church to that section is the West Side
Avenue ID. E. Church. at West Side and
Virginia avenues. a distance OF fully a
mile. The Linden Avenue NJ. e. Church
Greenyille section. The long journey to
these churches has been the cause Of
much inconvenience for some time to the
Methodist residents of the north end Of
the section. some time g the Metho-
dists Of that section held a meeting and
decided to attempt to organize a new
Methodist Church in that immediate
neighborhood.
Al Sunday school was first formed with
the object of arousing the interest eventu-
ally leading to the organizing of a regular
church. Sunday school services were first
held about one month ago. at the home Of
Mr.. Hitchcock, Arlington, near Myrtle
avenues. The attendance was small, but
IT has gradually Increased. The Sunday
cho services are conducted by Mr..
Hitchcock. Regular churc services are
also held at the home Of Mr.. Hitchcock,
and they are conducted by President ]. j.
Forster OF the Jersey City Evangelical So
ciety. Class meetings are held Tuesday
evenings, and the regular mid-week
prayer meeting is held every Thursday
evening.
There are very few members as yet, but
with hard work they feel confident that a
permanent Methodist Chruch can be orr
gained. It is expected hat In a few
weeks a definite plan VIII be formed for
the furtherance of the project.

THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.
The Mediation and Arbitration Plan be-
fore the Delegates Eminently Salts
factory to the United States.

Washington, July l0.-The state de-
partment is relying upon the press re-
ports up to this moment for the details
Of the Hague conference. Consequently
II is not in possession as yet of any
official statement of the mediation and
arbitration plan which is the prolni-
nent measure now before the confer
ence. Accepting the press reports as
accurate, it may be stated that the
project is elninently satisfactory to our
government, for, it is pointed out, the
arbitration scheme is nothing more
than an elaboration of the simple
American proposition with which our
delegates were charged before they
left the United States. 1t is true that
the pending proposition Is credited to
Sir Julian Pauncefote, but that was
because he had skillfully and with
great ability elaborated the details Of
the American principle to meet the
nice objections expected to be inter.
posed by the European delegates.
