After the Lords.

Plenty of evidence offers that the
British ministry is not going to sit
placidIy by and see the house of
lords tinker its education bill out
of all semblance to its former self.
What viii happen if it continues TO
make radical. alterations in the
measure is indicated by President
of the Board of Trade Lloyd-George,
who, speaking at Spalding the other
night, declared that the work of
re editing" the bill would termi-
nate in q way probably far from
agreeable TO the house of lords,
majority of whom were endeavor-
ing to establish the principle of
compulsory religion to which the
country would not submit.
1t was absolutely intolerable, said
Mr.. Loyd-George, that the house Of
lords should override the decision
of the people at the last election,
and the government was determined
to persevere with the bill The
people had outgrown the old sys-
tenn of catechisms and the old teach
ings that they were TO. be humble
and lowly before their betters. They
would no longer be content with
lessons in class humility.
Truly, the world advances in
Britain as everywhere else. Even
churchmen must soon cease TO teach
that one must religiously be con-
tent with the sphere 10 which provi-
dence had called him. The house of
commons is standing evidence that
this theory is not binding.

Herr Gustav Kukutsch, a noted statis-
tieiaE. foresees that the male popula-
ton, increasing at its present rate. will
a hundred years hence outnumber the
female Germans by two millions.
At present there are several thou
sand more females than males in Ger
many; but the sterner sex is catching
up with the fair ones by leaps and
bounds. In forty years, calculates Herr
Kukutsch, the sexes viii be in equal
force, but in 2007 the women will be IN
the minority.
In his published prophecy OF a wife
famine, the man Of figures asks:
What will the superhuous German
man in 2007 do TO obtain a wife?"
There viii be nothing for him to do
but either remain a bachelor or seek a
wife abroad.

RESTORED TO HEALTH.
Operation Upon the Brain of Rev. w.
A. Kelly Said to Be Successful.

Charleston, July 12.-Rev. William
Aiken Kelly has been discharged from
the Roper Hospital and is now at
home, recuperating from the effects Of
the operation upon his brain, remov-
ing clot Of blood which it is thought
Will result in his complete restoration
to health and enable him to resume
his ministerial duties.
Mr.. Kelly was relieved Of his ere
dentials at the meeting Of the Metho-
dist conference last December, but in
view of the very satisfactory perform
ance Of his ministerial duties previous
to his aff1iction which caused him to
suddenly desert his pastoral charge
and leave the State, it is probable that
with his complete recovery he will be
restored to standing in the church.
Mr.. Kelly spent some time in Vir-
ginia and was for long time at Char
lotte before coming to Charleston. His
Whereabouts We're established shortly
after he deserted his pastoral charge,
but in view Of his affliction, his family
and close personal friends kept the
matter quiet and it was not until his
coming to Charleston recently for the
operation upon his brain that his
movements became publicly known.
His trouble was diagnosed by a Char
lesion surgeon to be blood pressure
upon the brain, and upon the opening
Of the head the condition was found
to exist, as stated, and the operation
was successfully performed.
The surgeon is said to have given it
as his opinion that there will be no re-
turn of Mr.. Kelly's former brain
trouble, and his numerous friends
through the State share in the hope
that his condition will continue to i'm
prove, and that he will soon be able to
resume his ministerial functions in
the church which he served to we'll
