Only when the minis ters are responsible to the people can the idea of the absolute Responsibility of the monarch take root in the hearts of his subjects. Only a ministry enjoy ing the confidence of Parliament can strengthen confidence in the government and the existence of such confidence alone can make tranquil and regular labors of Parliament possible.
 Repeal Exceptional Laws.
 Above all 1t is first necessary in Rus sia to repeal exceptional laws. the laws of increased protection and the state of siege under cover of which the arbitra- riness and responsibility of officials ap- pear and develop.
 ..At the same time the principles of the responsibility of the administration to the representatives of the nation must be adopted.
 Further, for fruitful labor on the part of Parliament, there must be introduced the principle of true popular representa- ton, which consists in the recognition that the union of the monarch and the people Is the only source of legislative power.
 Every barrier between the Emperor and the people must be removed. Fur there there must be no domain of legisla- ton which would always be closed to free revision by representatives of the peo- pie in conjunction with the monarch.
 "Parliament holds that 1t Is Its duty to declare to your majesty in the name of the people. that the whole nation will carry out the creative work of renewing it's life with all its power and energy, with firm belief in the eminent eleva- ton of the fatherland. if between 1t and the throne there should not stand an i'm perial council composed of appointed dig nitaries and persons elected by the high est classes of the population, and if the legislative powers of the peoples repre- sentatives are not limited by special laws .In the domain of the legislative work

I would not care If there were not a negro office holder in the whole United States. tI have never seen a white man In this country that I. was afraid of because he knows me. but the thing I am afraid of Is the Idle negro.
 During the coming century the well fare of thls country must be guaged either from the aspect of 100000 un- happy and discontented negroes or 10,- 0O0, 900 happy and contented negroes. Which do you think Is better?"
 The speaker in concluding said he had seen in the papers where his hearers were going to get after the articles of religion and he said he got down on his knees and prayed as soon as he read it.
 At the conclusion of his remarks a 'reso- lution was offered by Dr. Lambuth and passed, which provided that a commission from this conference should meet rep resentatives from the colored confer- ence now in session in Memphis and take steps to provide for institutes where colored preachers could be instructed.
 Mexican Speaker introduced.
 
 Mir. Santin of Mexico City was intro duced. He had an interpreter, and the remarks were probably as much enjoyed as any that have been made before the conference. He began by saying that he had not expected to be called upon, and that he was like a man in paint ing he had once heard about in Mexi- co. An artist had painted "The Last Sup per- and inadvertently had put in thlr- teen disciples instead of twelve. When the buyer called his attention to it. the artist solved the problem by taking his brush and writing under the thirteenth man: "I do not belong in this picture; I am just looking on; I am going away in a minute He said that was really the attitude he wanted to hold toward the present conference.
 Among the other matters transacted at yesterdays session was the presenta- ton by the episcopacy committee of a report non-concurring in the memorial fla voring the election of a missionary bishop.
 Dr. Lambuth read a resolution relating to the needs of the church in San Fran cisco. which was unanimously adopted.

may be required. The house Of the
beaver Is built on the bank Of the
river, with its entrance under water.
Once having built the entrance the
rest of the house is started, the whole
colony working at the house until it
is finished, and when completed it is
warm, dry and cozy. Although 1t Is
impossible for beavers to live for long
under water, the entrance is built for
some distance under the water. and
then there is a long tunnel connecting
the house with the water.
A beaver family usually consists OF
four or five, and into the world
with its eyes wide open. The young
ones live with their parents for two
years and then they are made to shift
for themselves. The full-grown beaver
measures about two feet in length,
with 4 tail some ten inches long, which
he can use as a spade Or a trowel as
well as a paddle. The average age Is
10 years, although some have been
known to be as old as 20, but such
cases are said to be rare. When the
animal Is 8 years of age it's pelt is at

One Of the traditional stories of the
town of Fairfield, Conn, recounts a
wild dash from the pulpit made by a
worthy and beloved pastor of the Epis-
copal flock, DR.. Labaree.
1t was on a Sunday more than a
hundred years ago. The service had
been read. the prayers said, the hymns
sung, and the parson began his SER
mon. AS be proceeded his gestures be-
came very energetic. He brought his
right hand down with great force.
Then he turned pale, cleared the pulpit
stairs al 4 bound, dashed out the
church door and ran toward the pond
a short distance away
The congregation followed in Devil
dered pursuit, and saw their venerable
pastor with flying rob- rush into the
water until it came to his neck. Then
turning round. he faced his astonished
audience and SAID:
Dearly beloved brethren, I am not
crazy, as no doubt many Of you think,
but yesterday at the drug store l
bought a bottle of nitric acid, and care
lessly left it in my pocket to-day.
MY last gesture broke the bottle. l
knew the suffering the acid would
cause when it penetrated my clothing,
and rushed for the water to save my
self pain
He drew several pieces Of glass from
his rocket in witness of the tale. Then
he dismissed the company and hurried
home,
