THE women are to be admitted as delegates to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. Ten of the 120 annual conferences have not yet voted but those which have give the woman a handsome majority. This is as it should be, as their work, ability and christian character has always entitled them to act as delegates or in any other church capacity. The women are the bulwark and main strength of about all the churches.
THE Indianapolis police very promptly arrested two bicyclers who were riding without a city license, but allowed the saloons to openly violate the law. If Mayor Taggart thinks he can win political support in his gubernatorial race by allowing tfce saloons and other organizations which he regards as influential to openly violate the law, he will be sadly mistaken. The people of this state who believe indecency and the maintenance of law and order, have concluded that when men who openly violate the laws of the State and advocate violations of law by others, range themselves on one side, it is well for the law and order people, all of them, to range themselves on the other side. There are many more law abiding, decent, respectable people in Indiana than belong to the lawles3 class, but the trouble is they have not stuck closely enough together heretofore. Good people as well as bad ones are to be found in all politicial parties, but the lawless ones too frequently make their votes count for the most by bunching them for the policies they are advocating rather than stick to their party. The people who believe in law and order, too frequently stick too close to their party and let the principles they are advocating, go.
TOM L. JOHNSON, the great free trade Democratic Ex-congress man, of Cleveland, Ohio, takes a gloomy view of Democrat prospects for this year and gives some excellent reasons. His views are generally shared by all well posted men irrespective of party. Mr. Johnson stated his views at a banquet given in New York Monday night by the Young Men's Democratic club in honor of Jefferson's birthday. He said in part: "Democratic duty in 1896 is not to say one thing and mean another. To make a platform that looks two ways on disputed questions, asking 'a little of both and not much of either.' This is no time to straddle. Let us have facts. In 1896 we are likely to be beaten. Straddling certhinly cannot save us. It can only add disgrace to defeat. Even if, without evasion, or equivocation, or mental reservation, we proclaim the Jeffersonian principles—we may still be beaten. But we shall save honor, gain courage, and in present defeat make future victory sure. Bitter experience shall teach us. In 1892 we won a victory as great as Jefferson won in 1800. In 1896 the Democratic party is broken, discredited, degraded. The reason is plain. In 1892 we asked for power that we might kill protection, boiish trusts, reduce taxation. We were given the power. Now it is 1896. What protected ring has been even weakened what trust abolished what burden removed? In the hands of a Democratic administration the money power that Jefferson feared has been strengthened at every point in a time of peace the monstrous expenses of government are being paid by issuing bonds, and wages are lower and times harder than in 1892. If these cure fruits of Democracy, what wonder that the people turn to the other thing. Wise men qare thing what parties call themselves, but what they do. 'By their fruits shall ye know them.'

SOME PECULIAR ACCIDENTS.
An Oculist Tells How the Sight of Several Penona Was Destroyed.
A prominent oculist of this city gives the following list of queer accidents that have come under his observation recently.:
A little boy, 10 years old, was standing in front Of a bird fancier's shop when an aged parrot seemed to take a sudden animosity to the child and darted at him, pecking out one eye before he could get out of the way.
Sotnfe linemen left a lot of short wire lying on Euterpe street after repairing the telephone connections in that district. Aft old negro woman who was on her ^ay to market early the next morning stepped on one end of a bit of this wire, when the other end flew up, striking her in the eye and blinding her.
A milker employed at one of the dairy farms near the city was milking a cow that had got her tail matted and tangled with cockleburs. In the course of the milking the cow switched her tail into the man's face, the mass of burs striking him in one eye and completely destroying the sight of it.
A lad shooting at sparrows with an airgun hit his little brother in the eye and blinded him for life.
Tommy Peats, the handsome, bright eyed 7-year-old son of a widow, fell down stairs backward. When his mother got to him and picked him up, the boy was asleep, the shock having affected him in this singular manner, and in an hour after, when he opened his eyes, they were badly and irrevocably crossed.
A poor lad who is affected with epilepsy during a recent attack fell against the steam coils in his father's office, burning and blistering his eyes so badly that the sight is gone.
As the Louisville and Nashville passenger train was coming into the city some ruthless person threw a stone at the day coach, shattering one of the windows. The particles of glass flew into the face of a man sitting by the window, as many as 40 of them embedding themselves in his eyes alone. Most marvelous to relate, every bit of glass has been abstracted and the man's eyesight remains unimpaired.—New Orleans Letter in Philadelphia Times.
What Shall We Call It?
The boys call it a "bike" and are happy the dictionary makers call it a "bicycle" and rest content, though heaven knows the philological sin ought to lie heavily on their literary consciences, and we who ride and are happy and. independent call it a "wheel," in spite of the finicky protest of sundry would be pedants who fill space in the daily and weekly papers. Pray, why not "wheel?" Do you know of a better name? Surely not "bicycle," for "bicycle, besides being an awkward word, does not describe the instrument of delight we know, as doubtless the originator of the word fully dreamed it did. "Bicycle" has an affected, strained sound that ill accords with the best elements of the language we love, the language whose strength lies in its short, crisp words, pulsating with life and meaning.
It is not unusual to designate a specific thing by a generic term, and we do no violence to the language when we say we ride a wheel. The term came into general use when men did literally ride upon a wheel, in the days of the old "ordinaries," before the advent of "safeties." It was awheel they rode, the second member of the machine trailing behind in almost unnoticed insignificance. It was then that a thousand tongues At once named the wheel. This democratic term of spontaneous birth has had a tenacious life and will still live, for it is always the people who make language, not pedants nor dictionary compilers.—Womankind.
Rainbows That Can Change Sex.
In many parts of the world it is the general belief that the rainbow has the power to change sex. This queer belief obtains in such widely separated districts as South Africa and Norway and China and Australia. The Zulus have a long folklore story of the young man who was changed into a wrinkled old woman by touching the many liued arch. The Scandinavian peasants have a similar story, and in Greece they say that anybody who runs against the end of the rainbow will have his or her sex instantly changed. In France and India to pass under the rainbow has a similar effect.—St. Louis Republic.
Old Story to Him.
"My boy," said the passenger with the fur lined coat and the smooth shaven, square face, "it was the success of the season. There wasn't standing room."
The conductdfr smiled a sour smile. "Zif I didn't have the same experience everyday," said be to the motorman.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

Fermented and Distilled Liquors With Which the Un'ciyilizeitl Natives of Different Parts of the World Produce "Drank."
Learning From the White Man.
It is a remarkable fact that up to the time of the coming of the whites the North American Indians generally had no knowledge of intoxicants. As for tobacco, they did not smoke it as we do apparently, but merely for ceremonial purposes. Going southward into Mexico in those days, however, the traveler might have found alcoholic stimulants in common use. Even at the present time the natives in that part of the world make an odd sort of beer oat of corn. They wet a woolen blanket, lay it in the sun and spread whole grains of maize npon it. The grains germinate, sprouting and sending out rootlets through the texture of the blanket, which is kept moist. They are then parched and ground to a coarse meal. To this meal a little yeast, made by chewing some corn and allowing it to ferment, is added. Then the stuff is mixed with water and pnt away in jars. Fermentation follows, and as it diminishes the liquor becomes as clear as yellow amber, in which condition it is drunk. It is quite intoxicating.
Several varieties of grasses, herbs and flowers, the roots of Bundry plants, the juices of the sugar cane and aloe, and even beets, are used by various tribes and peoples as a basis of drinks. In earlier times spruce trees, fir trees, birch trees and ash trees were tapped for their sap, which was fermented to make stimulating beverages. The willow, poplar, sycamore and walnut are said to yield palatable drinks. The Japanese obtain intoxicating beverages from plums and from the flowers of the motherwort and peach. The Chinese actually produce an alcoholio drink from mutton. The Abnaki Indians of New England used to manufacture a kind of liquor from the tops of fir trees, which they boiled and put into casks with molasses. The contents of the casks were allowed to ferment for three days.
The Eskimos were entirely unacquainted with the art of getting drunk until they came into contact with the whites. Travelers have observed that they drink extraordinary quantities of water when they can procure it. That is not always so easy in a latitude where the normal condition of water is that of a solid. In winter one of the most important occupations of the women is the thawing of snow to get water. The snow is cut into very thin slices as a preparation for the thawing process, and it is fetched to the hut from a considerable distance in order that it may be perfectly clean. The Eskimo greatly dislikes water that is many degrees above the freezing point.
The Chilcat Indians of southern Alaska distill a fearful beverage called "hootchenoo." The process adopted was probably suggested to them by United States soldiers originally. Molasses or vegetables of any sort, made into a "mash," are employed as raw material. The mash is put into a large tin can, which is connected with another tin can by a tube of the hollow stem of the giant kelp. This tube is buried in snow. Afire is built under the can that contains the mash, and the alcohol passes over into the other vessel. The liquor thus distilled is drunk fresh and produces temporary insanity.
The aborigines of Mexico and farther to the south were acquainted only with fermented intoxicants up to the time when they learned from the whites the principle of the still. At present, however, this contrivance of civilization is in general use among savages on this continent. The Apaches of southern Arizona make whisky from the sap of a small species of cactus. They cut out the hearts of the plants, resembling little cabbages, and in the cup shaped receptacles left behind the sap accumulates. From this sap they distill the famous "mescal," which drives those who drink it to sheer madness. Many spirituous drinks are made from the banana. Banana wine is obtained by pressing the fruit through a sieve, after which it is made into cakes, dried in the sun and dissolved in water when wanted for use.
On the west coast of Africa it is a common thing to see a bare legged woman climbing up a gigantic palm tree, with a calabash of immense size hung round her neck. When she has reached the top branch, she taps the tree, and the sap begins to flow. Then she hangs the calabash beneath the stream of sap and descends. Twelve hours later she climbs the tree again and takes down the calabash, which by that time is full of palm beer. It resembles mead somewhat, but a small quantity of it stupefies the drinker. African natives universally know how to prepare drunk producing liquors from such simple materials as the tops of broom corn, sugar cane juice and cocoanut milk.
All over eastern Asia is consumed a drink known as "arrack." The best of it is distilled from the unexpended flowers of certain varieties of palm. A vile kind of arrack is made from impure molasses that is left over as refuse in the manufacture of raw sugar. It makes the drinker crazy, and under the influence of it whole parties of Malays sometimes "run amuck" together, the sport only concluding with the death of all participants, as well as the destruction of numbers of innocent people. This is a favorite Malay plan of committing suicide. A mau makes up his mind that h^ wants to die, and so he fills himself up with arrack and starts to run amuck, stabbing every one that comes in his way untril he himself is slain.—St. Louis Globe Democrat.
