Refuses To Give Christ
ian Science Charter.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l5.-An applica-
ton for charter made by the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, was refused
today by Judge Arnold, in the Common
Pleas Court here. In his opinion, Judge
Arnold says:
1.-The charter applied for in this case
covers double purpose-a church and
business. We have power to grant a
charter for church, but we have no
authority to grant a charter for cor
poration.
That the application is for charter
for a corporation for profit is shown by
the statement i'll the proposed charter
that the purposes for which the appli-
cants desire to be incorporated are. To
establish and maintain a place for the
support of public worship and to preach
the Gospel according to the doctrines of
Jesus Christ, as found III the Bible and
the Christian Science text book, "Sci.
ence and Health, With Key to the
Scriptures, by Mary Baker c. Eddy
What the Gospel, is according to the doc
trines found in the Christian Science
text book, is shown i'll an article signed
by Mrs. Eddy and published in the
Christian Science Journal of March,
1897. in which she has written that
The Bible and Il book written by me,
called "Scicnce and Health, with Key
to the Scriptures. and my other pub
lished works are the only proper instruc-
tors for this hour 1t shall be the duty
of all Christian Scientists to circulate
and to sell as many of these books as
they can. Ii member of the First
Church of Christ Scientist, shall fail to
obey this injunction it will render him
liable to lose his membership in this
church.
This shows that the so called church
is corporation for profit, organized to
enforce the sale of Mrs. Eddy's books
by its members, which is matter of
business and not of religion. As the
courts have no power to charter such
corporation, the application for char
ter is refused"

Resolutions of Respect.

The following resolutions on the death
of the Rev. J. Owen Sypherd were
adopted at the meeting of the Whining.
ton NJ. E. Preachers Association Mon'I
day.
Having recently lost, by death, the
Rev. J. Owen Sypherd, valued and
esteemed member of our ministerial as
sociation, and desiring to give some
token of his worth and service, We
adopt the subjoined mirute:
1--WE found in our diseased brother a
faithful, capable minister of Jesus
Christ, and one eminently successful in
the work of the ministry to which he
so unreservedly devoted his best ener-
gies. Many rise up and call him blessed.
LAS man and brother he was man.
ly, unostentatious, sunny and cheerful
A helper always and we shall cherish
his memory as one greatly beloved. >
1--WE extend to his widow and fami-
ly our tenderest sympathy and crave for
them the abiding presence of the Heav.
emily Father.
1--WE suggest that this action be givep
to the press and that copy be sent to
to the widow. -....,s-,->..

A POUND 5 A POUND.
But a Pound of Feathers is Heav-
ier Than a Pound of Lead.

That old question about pound of
feathers and pound of lead takes on
new interest when we look at it i'll a
simple sientific way. 1t seems absurd,
of course, that pound of one thing
could be heavier than pound of another
thing and yet that is exactly what may
be shown i'll this case; not that the pound
of lead is heavier than the pound of
feathers, as most persons would say on
the spur of the moment, but just the
other way-a pound of feathers is heav-
ier than pound of lead.
This apparently inconsistent state
ment may be quite easily proved. With
accurate scales weigh pound of lead,
using sordinary shot for convenience;
then with the same scales weigh a pound
of feathers, putting them into u muslin
bag for the purpose. The feathers and
pound.
The next step in the operation will
show apparently that there is no differ
ence whatever in the weight of the two
articles. for you put the shot i'll one pan
of a balance and the bag of feathers i'll
the other, and after little seesawing
they will come TO an exact level.
Now, however, the scientific phase of
the question presents itself. aud you are
reminded that III weighing the articles
thus in the open airsyou have taken no
account of the buoyant power of the air
which bears every thing up i'll proportion
to the objects bulk. AS the bag of feath-
ers is of greater bulk than the shot, it is
borne up more than the shot is, and for
that reason it is necessary to use a little
more than pound of feathers to balance
Il pound of lead.
This, however, is theoretical. The
practical proof is obtained, when you
place the balance bearing the lead and
the feathers on the receiver of an ar
pump and cover them with the glass bell
Then exhaust the air, and you will find
that the pan bearing the lead Will rise.
thus showing that when weighed in the
ordinary way the quantity of feathers
used to make pound is actually more
than pound. .-New York Press.

LAWS FOR SHIPPING GAME
Department of Agriculture Is
sues Valuable Circular.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has issued circular defin-
ing the laws regarding the shipment of
game The following notes are taken
from it
Robins, swallows. cedar birds. meadow
larks, flickers, night hawks or bull bats,
and a few other insectivorous species,
as well as such birds as longspurs. snow
useful i'll destroying seeds of weeds. are
occasionally killed rs game. They are
however. generally protected. and under
no circumstances should they be sent to
market or shipped out of the State.
Statutes even more stringent than
those protecting game birds have re-
Gently been enacted by many States for
the preservation of birds which are not
included i'll the game list Under these
statutes birds which are in depland for
millinery purposes are protect ed
throughout the year, and sale and pos
session, as well as killing, are prohibi-
ted.
1t should be remembered that the
principal centers for millinery supplies
are nearly all located in States which
have suca laws. and the purchase of
native songs birds, as well as of herons,
pelicans, gulls, terms. or sea swallows,
grebes, or other plume birds, shoulo be
avoided.
The shipment of these birds or any
part of their plumage is prohibited by
the provisions of the Federal law Os-
trich feathers are not subject to these
restrictions and their use should be en-.
couraged.
