PENSIONS FOR CLERGYMEN.

This is the cer tennial year of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States, 1t is proposed to commemorate
that event by ralHing 100000 as a
fund from which the retired and dis
abled ministers If that denomination
shall receive a pen sion. The Mail and
Express, in commenting upon this prop
osition, uses the following language in
support of the scheme, which in itself
seems very worthy
II this principle (of giving pensions)
applies to the soldiers of nations and
govern ments, why should it not apply
to the soldiers in the army of the
church? These captains, the preachers
of the Gospel, give their lives to the
cause of the church. They receive, dur
ing active service, an average salary of
from $400 to 800 year-barely enough
in the overwhelm ng majority of cases
to keep soul and body together, When,
by reason Of years or Of Intirmites, they
are laid aside from active service, why
should not the church do for them a.
least as much as political governments
do for their servants !
All very true, but would it not be
easier for the churches generally-out-
side Of cities-to give their pastors a
better support when IN active service ?
Afterwards the necessity for pensions
would not be So pressing.

humor has said many funny things il
Illustrative of the "hobbies" OF mankind &.
but none of them surpass his story of
how he treated cold.
Every friend he met for weeks, had a
"sure cure" 10 suggest, until finally the
cold wore itself out and as usual the last
remedy got the credit for the cure.
Experimenting with a severe cold
however-now trying this remedy ana
then that, is dangerous business; for
like lgb ming one can never tell where
II cold may strike or finally settle, 1t
may locate in the head and cause severe
nasal catarrh;it may locate in the throat
or large bronchial tubes. causing sore
throat, laryngitis, bronchitis and con
sumption; 1t may locate in the pleura,
producing dangerous pleuro-pneumonia
it may locate in the muscles, causing
pains and aches only equalled by rheu.
matism or it may locate in the small
bronchial tubes or air cells Of the lungs,
causing lobar- pneumonia, the most to
be- dreaded of all results from a cold.
There is a right way to do everything,
80 there is rational treatment for a
cold, which must be cured promptly,
The first result from cold is the re
tai dation of every secretive function in
the body. Skin. lungs, kidneys and
bowels, severally or all are affected
Therefore, the first thing to be done is
to rest the functions of these organs.
Because of itsIeffect upon the skin. the
old fashioned rum sweat" was an ex-
cellent method to restore the action of
the pores of the skin, But it is danger
GUS method to use. because so few people
are willing to contine themselves to the
house long enough to recover; and to
expose ones self Immediately after
sweat is risking your life.
In treating cold among our active
New England people, some method
must be used that will admit of per
son attending to their daily labor as US
ual.
Among such people, probably more
colds. more cases of catarrh, bronchitis,
sore throat, cough and hoarseness. have
been cured by the use Of JOhnsOns AnO
dyne Liniment than any other remedy
known. The large circular wrapper
around each bottle contains simple and
and plain directions for treating and
curing all these complaints. The pro-
prIetors, l. S. johnson & Co., 90 Custom

any address, free. a valuable pamphlet
on the subject. Or for IS cents. they
will send one bottle of Johnson's Lini-
ment. SIX bottles for $500, express

Narrow Escape From Loss of life
Rare Exhibition of presence of
Mind.
New YORK, Jan. 29-The hospital for
the ruptured and crippled at Lexington
avenue and Forty second street, and the
1853 crippled children under treatment
there, were probably saved from des
tructlon this evening by the presence Of
mind and heroism of two Of the little
inmates. Louisa Felige, 10 years old,
and Mary Greedy, 10, started for bed
about 6.45 o'clock, and on reaching the
second flor were developed in a cloud
of smoke. They quietly proceeded to
the third floor and told Nurse Ellen
Dougherty that the building was on fire.
She sent word to Matron Weber, who
not fed DIR. Gbnev, and he sent out an
alarm. The doctor. nurses, police and
firemen got all the children out of the
building, and the guests Of the Wander
hllt Hotel opposite gave up their rooms
to the little ones, The fire was put out
at loss of $2500, and then it was found
that Mary Donnelly, cook 40 years
old, had been suffocated in her room on
the fifth floor while asleep. During the
fire Michael Mccarthy, the elevator hoy,
was overcome by smoke and fell into
the elevator pit. He was discovered
there by Miss Jessie Stranger. young
waitress in the hospital, who dragged
him out into the air, where he revived.
Miss Stranger also saved the life OF
James U'Brlen. one of the engineers Of
the hospital. He was asleep in his room
and was already unconscious from
smoke. when she roused him. Ten year
old Max Schwartz, who is suffering
from hip disease, tried to carry out
Johnny Burke, little deaf and dumb
cripple, but the burden was beyond his
strength. Then he dragged Johnny out
to the hallway where policeman found
them and carried them both down
stairs. There were many other in
stances of heroic and unseltish behav-
ior on the part OF the little cripples.
