church membership in a way not con-
originally. AS these gen. |
eral rules cannot be changed except by
methods and as the para
graph in question was not inserted ac-
cording to these methods. its legality
is open to serious question. At the
last General Conference the judiciary
committee pronounced it unconstitu-
tional, but the report of that commit
tee was not presented in season for
definite action. The Methodist Church
las such is opposed, and vigorously, too.
to every form of sinful and dangerous
amusement, and its standards are as
high as they have ever been, but forced
legislation along these lines is Of
doubtful expediency. For twenty-eight
years the paragraph on amusements
has been in the discipline. and has
been the cause OF more discussion ir-
ritation and heated argument than
any other clause in the book. And
yet, strange to say, so far as actual
enforcement is concerned it has practi-
cally been a dead letter
Several bishops will be chosen, for
though the present board Of bishops is
able to do all the work required, some
Of them have gone considerably over
the three score and ten line, and in
the nature of things cannot be ex-
! pected to serve another quadrennium.
The number of ministers willing to as
sumo the responsibilities of this Of
! flee is very great. Almost every con-
i ference delegation has one or more
who might be induced to accept episco-
pal hOnors. All of the patient, self de-
\ nying heroes are not dead. There
will be at least a hundred ministers in
the next General Conference who
would so far overcome their modesty
and timidity as to gratefully accep
such a disposition; but as only four a
the outside will be elected, the secre
i hopes and aspirations Of the remain
I ing ninety-six must stand over for an
other time. Just now prophecy is ;
little risky.
Besides bishops, there are editors ant
secretaries and other General Confer
ence officers to the number of nearl.
Il three score to be elected, for. with tn
exception of the bishops, all Genera
? Conference officers complete thei
term of service at the end of eacl
quadrennium In the distribution @
these offices il is probable that tn
Philadelphia delegation may obtai
recognition. as some Of the ablest me
of the conference are among its dele
gates. Philadelphia never sent
stronger body Of representatives tina
the one chosen at the conference JUS
/, closed, and If they are not heard fror
/, the church generally will be both SUI
II prised and isappOinted.

Refrigerated Eggs.

Eggs become unwholesome when
kept in refrigerators. A fungus forms
in them which is easily found by the
microscope, although It Is not noticea-
bic to the taste. The fungus consti-
tutes a danger when we consider how
many eggs are consumed by all classes
OF society. and people Of delicate con-
stitutions ought TO be particularly care
full that they eat fresh aud not kept

Pulled Them on In n Car and EN-
bRrrnssed Her Mamma.
A well dressed woman with n beauti-
ful baby IN her arms attracted the at
tentlon of all the passengers on a Ger
mantown car. Every one was fasci-
mated by the baby's pretty and smiling
face and particularly by two golden
curls which hung down her cheeks.
After awhile the child became nerv-
Gus and began TO tug at one Of the
curls which protruded from her hood.
The woman, presumably her mother,
quickly stopped her but a few mo-
ments later she looked out of the win
dow. No sooner was her face turned
than the child seized her bonnet with
both hands and pulled Il OF. 1t offer
er little resistance, but to the astonish-
ment of every one on the car the curls
came with it, and the supposed golden
haired baby showed that In reality its
head was without the semblance Of a
hair.
The child swung the bonnet to and
fro and laughingly held it up for the
inspection Of the other passengers. II
was almost a minute before the WON
an turned around. When she saw
what the baby had done, her face
flushed, and without a word she pick
ed up the child and walked sedately
out of the car. When last seen, she
was trudging down Spring Garden
street with the baby tucked under her
arm like a sack Of oats, but stlll hold
ing tightly to the bonnet and cooling,

The engineering world Of Europe has
not, It IL said. recovered from the sur
prise over the remarkable performance
at Antwerp of big dfedge-boat con-
structed in Belgium for the Russian
government on plans prepared by an
American engineer, Chicagoan. I'm
der the contract the boat was to have
a capacity of 1000 cubic yards OF
dredging per hour. She recorded
capacity of 1900 yards on trial. 30
great was the interest IN the trial
that most of the foreign ambassadors
we're present, the Belgian cabinet
commissions from Australia. India,
Germany, France. the Argentine Re-
public and hundreds of engineers from
all parts of Europe. Trains were run
at reduced rates to accommodate the
people eager to see the American
dredge the most powerful in the world
and for six weeks boats were kept run
ming at Antwerp to carry visitors to
the point of operation. The immediate
effect has been to cause orders to be
p,aced for similar dredges for India
Australia and Russia. The facts were
reported to the state department by
Consul General Holloway at St. Peters
burg.
