Hard on Our Funny Men.

A writer in The London Globe has

find the little American child we know
that we are going to be treated to
specimens Of quasi-naive profanity, or
insanity, which are the more obiec-
tionable because they are invented by
adults, who are perfectly aware that,
unless they attribute them to innocent
children, all chance Of tickling the

are undoubtedly made in the States as
they are in other countries. Humor

Bishop McTyeire.

In the death of Bishop Holland N.
McTyeire the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, has lost one of its great
est men. He was born on his fathers
plantation, in South Carolina, July rs,
1924, pursued his preparatory studies at
Cokesbury college, and was graduated
from Randolph Macon college in 1874.
Completing his educating and entering
on the active duties of life at the very
time Of the disruption Of the Methodist
church in the United States, his career
was destined to be affected by the most
stirring events in the history Of the coun-
try. With many Of these exciting scenes
his position and work brought him into
immediate contact. The Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, is greatly in
debted to his energy and ability and
devotion for the success it has achieved
under so many adverse conditions.

Salaries Of Minister,

The salaries Of ministers in the large
parishes equal, where they do not ex.
coed, the salaries Of tho justices Of tho
supreme courts Of the states and Of the
United States. The salaries Of ministers
in that very large field Of secondary par
ishes equal, II they do not exceed, the
salaries Of professors in the larger col.
leges. The salary Of the average coun-
try minister 1--WE don't refer now to the
home missionary Of the east or west)
equals the income Of the average country
doctor. making suitable allowance in tho
case Of the latter for uncollectable
charges. - OF your young men
OF equal ability and without fortune
who enter respectively the professions Of
law, medicine, journalism and tho min
istry, it may be expected with hardly q
doubt that at the end Of the first FIVE
years Of professional service the minis
ter will be in the best social position.
His home will be better furnished than
theirs, allowing that they have been able
to marry; he will have q better library;
he will show more Of the general equip
ment Of social and professional life.
Something Of this outlay may be COM
pulsory. A minister's salary is pretty
carefully graduated to the standard at
which he is expected to live In the com.
munity. The margin for laying up
money is never intended to be large.
But 1t Is one result OF this amount Of in.
come at the beginning that tastes are de-
veloped which it is difficult afterward to
restrain or to satisfy. On the other hand,
the narrower income of the earlier years
of the other professions trains men to
more moderate tastes and to more care
full habits of expenditure, SO that at the
end of twenty years the margin Of actual
savings is greatly in excess Of that of the
ministry for the same time, even at the
same aggregate income. -Andover Re-

Rapid Decline Of the Rage Aftsr the Gro

Within the past few years, the rage
for the horrible and grotesque in dec
orative art has declined. Il is . fed.
ing fad, a rage that was consumed by
it, own zeal. While Il lasted, the
sanctuary Of home took on the attri-
butes Of heather temple and the uRli-
est objects produced BY pagan carvers
IN wood and workers in metal were
given the most honored places. People
OF the most refined tastes did not hest
tate to thus transform their parl0rs, L.
brary, reception hall and dining room
into 10 many museums in which veri-
table freaks were the most treasured
objecta The rage extended to car
wings, furniture, etc. Griffins in costly
woods, and hideousness generally was
depicted in prominent places Of the in
terror, until the apartments, in many
instances, were nothing less than q
solidifled nightmare.
Tho extreme ugliness Of these OBJ
jects dominated the beauty Of the ap-
pointments,. and the refined taste ex-
hibited in statuary, draperies Of deli.
cate hue and texture, paintings and
engravings were lost sight of'in the
presence Of some deformity in armor,
or some japanese warrior, life size, in
solid wood, and as homely as the late
Mr.. Crowley Of Central park. The
motive at the bottom OF this perverted
taste was probably that phase Of HUI
man nature which makes one covet,
not his neighbours goods, but some
thing which his neighbor has not, nor
il likely TO have. This motive existed
for a short time only. When ugli.
ness was procurable by the buyer Of
average resources; when importers
and manufacturers could provide hid
eOusness ct reasonable figures, the
charm Of ugliness was gone and the
fancy Of the favored few took differ
emit turn-a turn in q better direction.
There is but q slow market for outre
objects destined for the adornment Of
the home. Instead, there Is more re-

sition amid artistic surrounding. A
little ugliness acts as q foil for beauty,
but wealth Of grotesquerie has been
found oppressive and in poor taste.
The change Is gratifying one to ell
lovers Of the beautiful, and tho end oil
the reign Of deformities and freaks
will be mourned by none save those
that ransacked the shops Of China and
Japan for something hideous enough
to crafty the victims Of the fad which
