Women as Deacons.
One of the questions of absorbing
interest that is to be taken up for
consideration at this session of the
Assembly will be that relating to the
proposition to admit women TO the
Offices of deacons. At last years ses-
sion, the committee on overtTes sub
mitted the following.
In the matter of the memorial
from the Presbytery of Allegheny on
the subject of the deaconate, with ref
erence to the eligibility of female
members of the church to the Office of
deacon, your committee on Bills and
Overtures would submit the following
for adoption:
THAT the question to be and
hereby is, submitted in overture to
the Presbyteries in the following
form: Shall female members of the
church be eligible to the Office of
Deacon?"
2-That presbyteries be instructed
to vote on this overture and make re-
ports to the clerks of the Assembly
before the 31st of January, 1906, so
that the committee on revision of the
book of government and discipline
may be guided accordingly"
No intimation has been given in a
public way as to the result of the
vote taken by the various Presbyter-
les. The question is one which is
deemed of great Importance to the
church in general, for though in the
past the women have been active in
the conducting of business of the
body they have never occupied an &c,
clesiastical relation to the church.

Gentien Root.

Gentian root, often used as tonic,
is considered in many malarial coun-
tries remedy against intermittent fe-
yer. Especially is this the case In Cor
sica, in that section of the island near
the town of Aleria, which is infested
with malaria. The inhabitants recent
~ protested violently against the intro
duction of quinine on the part Of the
medical authorities, declaring that
they would not abandon the remedy
which had been used among them for
centuries. the gentian root. either pow

cross was torn from the mosque ell
Aksa, and on every tower and wall
tioated the yellow banners of Saladin.
All who had money paid their ransoms,
and those who had none begged and
borrowed it as they could and if they
could not gave themselves over to de-
spair and slavery. Only the patriarch
Heraclius, forgetting the misery Of
these wretched ones, carried off his
own great wealth and the gold plate of
the churches
Then Saladin showed his mercy, for
he freed all the aged without charge
and from his own treasure paid the
ransom of hundreds of ladies whose
husbands and fathers had fallen in
battle or lay in prison in other cities.
So for forty days, headed by Queen
Sybilla and her ladies, that sad pro-
cession of the vanquished marched
through the gates, and there were
many of them who as they passed the
conqueror seated in state halted to
make prayer to him for those who
were left behind. A few also who re-
| membered Rosamund and that it was
because of her sacrifice that they con-
| tinued to look upon the sun implored
him that IL they were not already dead
he would spare her and her brave
| knight.
At length it was over, and Saladin
took possession of the city. Having
purged the great mosque, washing it
with rosewater. he worshiped in it
after his own fashion and distributed
the remnant of the people who could
| pay no ransom as slaves among his
emirs and followers. Thus did the
crescent triumph over the cross in
Jerusalem, not in a sea of blood as
ninety years before the cross had tri-
umphed over the crescent within its
walls, but with what In those days
passed for gentleness, peace and mer-
i cy. WYE
During all those forty days Rosa
mund and Wulf lay in their separate
| prisons, awaiting their doom of death.
The letter Of Goodwin was brought to
Wulf. who read 1t and rejoiced to
learn that his brother lived. Then II
was taken from him to Rosamund,
who. although she rejoiced also, wept
over 1t and wondered little what ii
might mean. OF one thing she was
sure from its wording-that they had
no hope OF life
They knew that Jerusalem had fall
en-, for they heard the shouts of tri-
umph of the Moslems and from far
away through their prison bars could
see the endless multitude of fugitives
1 passing the ancient gates laden with
baggage and leading their children by
the hand to seek refuge in the cities
of the coast. At this sight, although
1t was so sad. Rosamund was happy,
knowing also that now she would not
suffer in vain.

NAILED TO THE CROSS.

The Two Thieves That Were Cruci-
ned With the Saviour.
In nine out of ten pictures Of the cru
cifixion where Christ's two companions
in death are represented they are pic
tured as having been fastened to the
cross with thongs or cords. The ques-
ton naturally arises, Were the thieves
in reality bound to their different in
struments of torture while the blessed
Saviour was nailed to his? And, If So,
which mode of death was considered
the more ignominious-binding or nail
ing? The remoteness Of the event and
the fact that in this case historical truth
may have been sacrificed to pictorial
effect make the above questions hard
ones to answer The early writer's al
most invariably refer to the thieves as
having been nailed to the cross, while
the early picture makers adhered to
the general rule OF representing them
as having been tied or bound to their
separate crosses.
II we are to give any credence to the
story Of the holy Empress Helen and
her reputed discovery Of the three

thieves were nailed to their crosses in
a manner similar to that observed in
the cruciixion Of the Saviour. This
conclusion has been settled upon for
this reason: When the three crosses
were disinterred from the mound in
which tradition said they had been
buried, that upon which Christ had
suffered was only distinguished from
the other two by the miracles it per-
formed. This would certainly suffice
to prove that all three of the instru-
mexts Of torture bore similar nail
marks and that the tradition of Christ
being the only one nailed was not
known at that time.-St Louis Reuub-

WOULD increase SALARY
Of Chief EXECUTIVE
Members Of the House Of Representatives Ad
vocate the Enlargement Of Presidents
Salary to One Hundred Thou-
sand Dollars Year.

WASHINGTON, June 9.--An item in
the sundry civil appropriation bill Of
$4,000 for travelling expenses of the
President went over in the house of rep
resentatives on a point Of order. 1t de-
veloped that the members were in
sympathy with the idea of giving the
President fund for railroad expenses.
The debate on the sundry civil bill oc-
cupied the greater portion of the day.
In making the point Of order on the
appropriation for the Presidents travel
ing expenses Williams, the minority
leader, declared the salary Of the Presi-
dent was sufficient. but the the salary Of
the vice.president, the speaker Of the
house, the cabinet officers and members
of congress was too small and cited his
