A PECULIAR industry of California is
threatened with great loss, namely: the
wholesale honey manufacturing business.
In Southern California the fields are
covered with wild Towering plant upon
which bees greedily feed, and fill their
pouches to empty into the hive board
The residents of the region all have a
large number of hives upon their farms,
and many persons obtain their livelihood
by taking care of the bees. The profits
of the business were increased by the
use of an instrument by which all the
honey was removed from the comb and
the wax cells were restored to the
bees. Owing to severe drouth the
Towering plant has died in the fields.

CHURCH ExPENsEs.-The Philadel-
phia Star makes the following remarks
regarding the salaries Of pastors, choir
singers, and other church incidentals,
which at this time are decidedly ap-
propos:
During the high priced seasons which
prevailed during the war, and which fol-
lowed it, there appeared to be no limit
to the disposition Of Jealous church
people to increase the sala ries Of their
pastors and the rates of pew rent. As
money was plentiful, aud business brisk
and profitable, no special objection was
raised by the average pew holders ; but
since the shrinkage in values has begun.
and there has been dwindling Of in
comes down to near tho starvation
point, it begins to occur to great many
people that pew rents, like the rents Of
houses, should come down, and with
them the salaries Of some pastors, and
tho liberal pay of choir singers, etc.-in
a word, that church expenses ought to
be reduced. The subject is attracting
attention, and it is
probable that with the opening of the
church season next month action will be
taken upon it in many of the churches.
The desire for a reduction is not bas-
ed upon any want of appreciation Of the
services Of pastors and singers, but upon
the pure and simple ground Of actual
necessity. 1t is superduous to state that
the incomes of the great many persons
who year ago lived in comfort and
even luxury have been SO seriously i'm
paired by the decline in the value Of
stocks, rents, ETC., as to render retrench-
ment a matter that will not admit ofdis-
cussion. 1t is from such that this de-
mand for lessening Of church expen-,
ses will come, audit will have to be-
