Simple Language in Sermons.

In addressing the multitude, simplic
ity Of language is always highly desir
able, there being the danger of the un-
learned attaching very different (and
sometimes very awkward meanings to
the grand and uncommon words which
even careful clergymen may be betrayed
into using in the pulpit. One of those,
when in Lis study and in the act of COM
posing sermon, made use of the term
ostentatious man." Throwing down
his pen, he wished to satisfy himself,
ere he proceeded, as to whether great
portion of his congregation might COM
prehend the meaning of the said term.
and adopted the following method Of
proof. Ringing the bell, his footman
appeared, and was thus addressed by his
master: "What do you conceive to be
implied by an ostentatious man p can
ostentatious man, sir p said Thomas.
"Why, sir, I should say perfect gen.
teman. - "Very good" said the Vicar.
"Send Ellis This coachman here Gel
lis" asked the Vicar, "what do you i'm
agine an ostcntatious man to be % can
ostentatious man, sir?" replied Ellis.
"Why, I should say an ostentatious man
meant what we calls saving your pres
enco-a jolly good fellow" It need
scarcely be told that the Vicar substi-
tuted less ostentatious word.-

Filtering CiStern Water.

Ex-Mayor Clymer, Of Reading, Pa,
proposes the following, which is proba-
bly, the best cheap mode Of fitting rain
water for drinking OF culinary purposes:
"Pure fresh water in the West is Sc
cured the year round by their large and
admirable cistcrns, built of brick and
Roman cement. In the center is placed
q brick chimney in said chimney the
pump is placed. The water from the
top to the bottom of the cistern is con-
stantly tiltering through the chimney to
supply tho demands of the pump, and
this process keeps the water in the main
body Of the cistern in state of con-
slant agitation, thereby it is always
sweet and good. Every family can have
pure water by tiltering the rain of heaven
from their housetops, OF by tiltering the
impure water from our water basins. :"

trude Verena, of st. Johns Baptist Home, a
charitable institution If the Protestant Episco
pal Church, was shot and seriously wounded

and commenced firing wounding her twice in
the thigh once in the ankle and once in the
left hand. The physicians pronounced her
wounds serious but not necessarily fatal,

Distressing Condition of the Russian
Peasantry.

The Russian correspondent of the
1eneps sends frightfully-vivid descrip-
ton OF the decentralization, the drunken
ness, the misery, and poverty of the
Russian people. His accounts are fully
confirmed by series of articles in the
Gotos. The Russian writer doubts
whether the peasantry have been gain
ers-whether they have advanced in civ
llization- since their emancipation in
1861. Assuredly they are no longer
sold like cattle; their children are no
longer taken from them they are not
logged, nor are they subject to the dis
cretionary arbitrary power of the noble
or his bailiff: Nor are they driven in
herds to work for him five or six days in
the week. But they have less land, less
wood, less credit than before. The
landlords, their owners, formerly pro-
tected them against the police. who now
pounce upon them for various kinds of
lmposts unknown to them before. Then
they had but one master; now they are
subject to the Mayor, to the tax-gather-
er, to the Chief Of the Commune, to
the tribunal OF Zemstvos, to the Judge,
and to other functionaries. Against
their exactions, arbitrary and frequently
illegal, they have no appeal. With their
vaunted self-government they have less
security and order than before. All the
hopes which were raised by their email
clpation have been dispelled; they have
fallen into apathetic discouragement, all
because they who are charged with the
administration of affairs are not ami
mated with the Czar's liberal intentions.
After having granted somewhat too
extensive autonomy, the authorities
sought to impede its development. The
rural police and other functionaries were
invested with arbitrary powers to impo:e
fines and penalties. Additional vcxa-
tlous restrictions we're imposed in 1874,
and the disheartened peasantry, seeing
the hopelessness of their plight, have
fallen into the most degraded drunken.
ness and its attendant misery. Multi
tudes who were well-to-do peasants have
seen all swept away from them-their
cattle, their homes, and all ; they now
grovel like the beasts of the field. where
shelter can be found. NJ. Kochelef, the
author of these articles, insists that the
state must begin by enforcing agricult-
tural improvements; the moral and in
tellectu1 development of the peasantry
would follow, were the tribunals to be
reorganized SO that the peasant could
have confidence n the integrity of his
arbitrators.

1T Was the Witches.

Thomas Stanton, who on Sunday, the 7th,
in New York, shot Sister Gertrude Varina,
when asked the reason for the shooting said:
ut was the witches. They have been bother.
ing me for four years. can't sec them m, but I
hear them talking continually. They have
told me that the sisters of charity are contin.
ually following me about and talking Of me,
and went to Ireland to get rid of them, but
1t did no good. The thing had to be ended
some time or other" Stanton supposed Sis
ter Varina to be Catholic like himself, but
when told him she was Protestant nun he
remarked that it made no difference, his in
struclions were to kill her all the same. Sis.
ter Varina is suffering greatly from her
wounds, but it is hoped that neither of them
will prove fatal. Stanton is held to aw ait the
result.

Horrible Murders. .

A horrible tragedy at Batesville, Ohio,
became known on the morning OF Nov. 7,h,
Frank N. Ridenbaugh, young German, veal
thy, who three years ago married the daugh-
tor of neighboring farmer, came home Sat-
urday night Nov. 6. intoxicated, and entering
the room where his wife and child slept, as
saulted them with an axe. His wife's skull
was crushed by single blow, and his sons
throat was cut with the edge of the axe. He
then went to the room where Mrs. Stephens,
visitor, her child and servant girl were
sleeping, and killed the lady and her child.
The servant girl awakened aad sprang toward
the door, but was knocked senseless and left
for dead. Upon recovering consciousness she
gave the alarm and neighbors came. 1t was
not until morning that the murderer was
found hidden in tobacco house with his
throat cut, not fatally. Jealousy, insanity
and drunkenness are theories advanced to &C.
count for the terrible crime

yonng bootblack named Dominick Cas-
tello that if he would give up chewing
and smoking he should have a new hat.
Soon after this the boy left for Minneap-
oils, N1inn., but it seems he did not for
get the promise, and recently, when he
made his re-appearance in Rochester.
well clad and bearing the mark of pros
perity, he claimed his reward. He
proved that he had earned it, and it is
needless to say that it was cheerfully
paid.

Hoso tho School MATTERS and School
Ma'ams Throughout the Country Are
Paid.
The United States commissioner OF educa-
ton has compiled some statistics bearing
upon teachers salaries in the States and
Territories Georgia hAl Idaho only failinA
to furnish the data necessary to make tho
calculation quite complete. Florida, Ken
tucky, New York, Dakota, New Mexico and
Wyoming give the number Of teachers, male
| and female. but failed to give the pay Of
either, while Arkansas cannot give the pro-
portion of male and female teachers, nor
their pay.
In the District of Columbis, in Nevada
and in Arizona the average pay of male
teachers is over $100 per month, the former
paying $12O. California comes next, pay
ing $S5; Massachusetts, $84.78; Rhode
Island, $8l.43; Montana, $75; Ohio, Cclor-
ado, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut
range from $G7 down to $50; Utah, $54
Texas, $53; Maryland, New Hampshire,
Wisconsin, Oregon, Iowa, Illinois and Mich.
igan range from $48 down to $41; North
Carolina, Missouri, South Carolina, Della
ware, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kansas, Mime
sofa, West Virgins, Virginia, Maine. Ne
braska, Vermont, Pennsy lvania and Sliss,s
sippi range from $40 down to $50, and
Alabama is but $22.
Arizona pays the highest salary to female
teachers-$90 per month. Nevada, $50;
District of Columbia, $40; California,

bama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kan
sas, Minnesota, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Utah, from
1929 down to 1922; Maine, $17.O4.
The compiler of these statistics did not
show data that would give the relative net
savings on salary of $50 in Kansas and $S5
in California. Alabama, Delaware, Missis-
sippi, Missouri and Texas do not report the
pay of male and female teachers separately.
The principals in the high schools of San
Franoiaco are paid $4 1000, and in Boston
$3, ,78O. Boston pays male teachers in gram
mar schools an average salary of $4,000;
Philadelphia, $4s6.10; New York, $S1417;
San Francisco, $2,46G Boston pays female
teachers IN grammar schools an average of
$4,000, and San Francisco, $4,000.
Dan francisco pays the Dest salaries to
teachers in primary schools, s. 500; Chicago
comes next with 81 900; Boston and Now
York, $500; and Cleveland tails the list with
only $54O.
Boston pays her music teachers $1,000,
and San Francisco $3.50. Boston pays
teachers of drawing $500 and San Francis

The American Flag Iusultel.

Capt. Gaige. of the American steam launch
Isabel, reports the seizure of his vessel in the
port of Payla by Chilian officers. The Chilli
ans hauled down the United States flag, one
OF them stamping upon it, and all of them
indulging in violent abuse of the people of
the United States, to whom they ascribed
the blowing up of two of their vessels during
the present war with Peru. The men in
charge of the launch were taken prisoners, as
was also Capt. Gaige, who was arrested on
shore. After being detained twenty-four
hours, Capt. Gaige and his men were released.
Capt. Gaige has filed claim against the
Chilian government for $30,O00 for damages
received and the value OF his launch.

Oregon and California,

All counties in Oregon except Grant
and Carry, heard from, nearly all official give
the Garfield electors 647 majority. The two
counties to be heard from will probably in
crease this majority to 600. In California the
official returns, as received, change the unof-
licial reports slightly, thirty. four counties out
of fifty-two showing net Republican gain
over previous figures of IS. There is consid.
cradle difference between the vote of different
electors, and with the general result so close
it is quite probable that divided ticket may
prove to be elected.
