ceremony and the kiss of charity ex'
changed by members at church serV-
ices.
Sometimes the district conferences
attempt to enforce stringent rules of
conduct under pain of excommunica-
ton. The Ohio conference has decided
that all members shall be expelled I'M
less they agree that the wearing of
hats by sisters, the mustache alone by
brethren, all fashionable dressing,
wearing of jewelry, gold and unneces-
sary ornamentation be discontinued
and that the sisters wear the prayer
cap during religious services"
The question of paid ministry has
been source of much perplexity to
the church. Originally ministers were
chosen from the membership of the
congregation and served without pay,
continuing their previous employment.
The city churches found such methods
impracticable and to maintain their
work were forced to pay their pastors
Officially this is termed a supported
ministry and under that designation
has been tacitly permitted.

Cocoa Consumption,

The imports of crude cocoa into tn.
United States in the calendar year
1908 amounted to 97,419,7OO pounds,
valued at s12,999,S36. The imports the
year previous were 912,147 pounds
less, but the total value was $685.
743 greater. In other words the mar
ket value of the cocoa imports dropped
from 171a cents per pound in 1907 to
Is 1-3 cents in 1908 The United

countries supplying the American mar

A convention OF noted criminologisfs
In Chicago has been discussing such
topics as The creation Of the specific
offense OF becoming criminal" New
YORK furnishes case in point. which
has been aired by no less a person
than Justice Gaynor of the Supreme
Court OF the state. Justice Gaynor
wrote letter to the Mayor, making
charges against the police force and
against Commissioner Bingham to the
erect tnat they were making 1t i'm.
possible for one George Duffy to lead
an honest life. The substance Of the
charge Is that Duffy, who is an in.
offensive citizen of Brooklyn, who
works for a milk company, and who
lives quietly at home with his parents
has been the victim Of a series of
false arrests by the police. The first
time ne was arrested he was stripped,
"mugged" and measured, and his pic
ture inserted In the rogues' gallery.
He was then taken before magistrate
and discharged. Another time he was
arrested and paraded before a group
OF detectives with faces mufled, so
that the victim could not recognize
them. Again he was discharged. On
his third arrest he was simply held
overnight in a cell with some tough
characters and discharged In the
morning. Justice Gaynor makes the
point that there is no warrant in law
for placing Duffy's picture in the
rogues' gallery, since he never has
been convicted of any offense, and
that his repeated arrests are evidences
of cruel and tyrannical disposition on
the part of the police It is easy to
be seen that If Duffy is an innocent
man, all the persecution under which
he has suffered tends to make him a
dishonest one. His natural tendency
would be to give up the fight and be-
come a thief, as the police say he u.s.
If he is already a secret criminal,
the police appear to be playing poor
game in arresting him so often with
out any proof against him. They SIM
ply make the public believe the stories
that are told of police tyranny. The
Duffy case has been made the basis
of charges Of misconduct against Po-
lice Commissioner Bingham and may
be the cause of his dismissal Bing-
ham Is the man who recently demand
ed an enormous appropriation for the
establishment of a secret police in
New York, on the ground that the per-
sonnet of the present force of uni
formed and plain-clothes men was so
well known to the criminal classes
that it was powerless to cope with
them. The Duffy case may give a
faint idea Of what a secret police, with
unlimited power of arrest, detention
and secret examination, mught accom-
plish toward Outstanding the United
States

Training st. Bernard Dogs.

The training of the rescue dogs OF
the Hospice of st. Bernard, on the
Alps is really very simple. During
the summer months, when the monks
are not so busy, some of the assistants
at the monastery take the young dogs
out into the valleys or hollows, where
there is always snow. One man will
go and lie down in the snow and bury
himself In it, and then dog is sent to
look after him. The animal is taught
to bark when he has found him, and
also to rouse the man up If he is
asleep. When the man wakes up and
stands on his feet the dog leads him
to the hospice, running along in front
to show him the way.

Those who go to the cities and es-

the rural churches.
