A Hat foS Saiiing

The distinguishing feature of present-day hats is the crown of Oriental cloth which is so pretty. yet so expensive. Il is indeed a substantial proof of the theory that llttle things cost dear. The crown of Oriental cloths is much more worn than the lace and beaded ones, yet the latter are very pretty and deservedly popular.
 The love of dazzle and scintillating effects may prompt a woman to outline ths designs in her Oriental cloth with threads of silver or gold or even tiny headings of steel but

CENSUS QUERLES.

The blank schedules to be used in
the next census are now being dis
tributed by the Census Office to the
enumerators, who will start to work
on June /. The schedules contain
questions which some persons may
thank prying, purposeless, or ex-
cessiye in number. But their mum
ber and characterer have been deter
mined by Congress, not by. the Cen
sus Office, and all of them have been
asked in previous censuses. The
only important change since 1890 is
that some questions have been aban-
doned.
People are often offended at the
question, 'How old are you?n and are
apt to wonder what use the Govern,

METHODIST CHANGES.

The General Conference of the
Methodist church in session in Chi
cago has done four notable things:
Removed the time limit from min
listers, added two new bishops to the
organization, refused to erase from
the discipline the rule against world
ly amusements, and voted down n
resolution of criticism of President
Mckinley If no other work is ac-
complished by the great body the
conference will be remembered by
these four important actions. While
all are to be commended, in as much
as they were the result of mature de-
liberation of one of the greatest de-
nominational bodies in the world,
we believe a mistake was made when
the timo limit was removed from the
ministers. Under the old rules a
minister could not stay more than
five years in any one place and this
was source of strength to the
churches in general. While OF course
the good preachers were always
wanted longer in their charges, the
rule made it easy for congregation
to rid themselves of an unsatisfactory
pastor without any trouble. This
prevented many church quarrels and
divisions, and done away with the
necessity of "beating around the
bush" that is sometimes practiced
by churches to inform the minister
that his resignation would be accept.
able. There are ofcourse some good
features in the change, but the good
we believe will be more than offset by
the bad.
