UNDERPAID MINISTERS.
Why. Despite Constant Financial Worry,
 They Live Longer Than Other Men.

" .
 They Live Longer Than Other Men.
 Life insurance men will all tell you that ministers of religion as a class live longer than any other. It is confirmed by the statistics of all those who calcu- late upon human longevity. Why is it? There is more draft upon the nervous system than in any other profession, and their toll is more exhausting. have seen ministers kept on miserable stipends by parsimonious congregations who wondered at the dullness of the sermons, when the men of God were per plexed almost to death by questions of livelihood, and had not enough nu- tritious food to keep any fire in their temperament. No fuel, no fire. have sometimes seen the inside of the life of many of the American clergymen-never accepting their hospitality, because they can not afford it; but I have seen them struggle on with sal ies of five or six hundred dollars 6 year-the average less than that-their struggle well de- picted by the Western missionary who says in letter: ''Thank you for your last remittance; until it came we had not any meat in our house for one year; and all last winter, although it was 8 severe winter, our children wore their summer clothing" And these men of God find in different parts of the land syruggling against annoyances and ex- as1erations innumerable, some of them week after week entertaining agents who have maps co sell, and submitting themselves to all styles of annoyance, and yet without complaint and cheer fitness of soul. How do you account for the fact that these life-insurance men tell us that ministers as class live longer than any others? It is because of the joy of their work, the joy of the harvest field, the joy of greeting prodigals home to their Fathers house. T. D. Talmage, in N. Y. Observer.

Old Tecumseh.s Powder-Horn,

The c. A. R. post at Lawrenceburg, Ind, has been presented powder-horn that was once the property of the great Indian chieftain Tecumseh. It was the gift of Henry Morris, of Lawrenceburg. lie is the son of William Morris, better known to Ohio valley pioneers as 'In- dian Bill," who figured in many savage and bloody encounters. After the great fight seventy-six years ago "1ndian Bill" found the body of the slain war rior. The powder-horn, still attached to the string around Tecumseh's neck, lay on his breast. The scout removed it and preserved it as the most sacred of his relics. At his death few years ago he presented it to his son Henry, who has now given it to Huff Post, and it hangs on the wall in that organizations hall. The horn was cut from the head of the first buffalo Tecumseh killed. Chicago Herald

ADULTERATED CANDY.
The Alarming Use of Terra Alba in Its
 Manufacture.

Tho Alarming Use or Terra Alba in It's
 Manufacture.
 The Board of Trade Journal, of Port land, Me, is authority for the state tuent that about C, 1000 tons of terra alba were recently imported through the port of New York alone. The only use for terra alba in any quantity is in the adulteratiOn of candies, and when these two facts are put together they become very significant. The substance is min eral, utterly insoluble in the saliva or the gastric juice, and the resultof eating candies adultcrated can not be other wise than excessively injurious. The {avilishness of the use of such stuff in ..ndies is all the greater for the fact .hat most of the candies that are adul- .erated with it are used by children of tender years. The extent to which it exists in certain candies may be sur uised by an incident which occurred within the experience of the editor of the National Druggist. 4 wholesale grocery house of St. Louis made 8 claim against the South Shore line for damages done 0 certain lot of lozenges manufactured by a Boston house and shipped in barrels over that line. The general agent of the line procured some Of these 'lozongos' and brought them to the writer fer exa u-na5ion. The re- suit of our igation showed then to consist entirely 0i terra alba bound together with Q little gelatine or gun .we have forgotten which,. Further in.
 astigation developed that they were imply blocks or forms to be used in preparing cheap lozenges, the method of use being simply to immerse them for a few moments in sirups favored with peppermint, winter-green, etc. The agent, armed with these facts, refused 70 pay any damages, and the concern, rather than risk the exposure incident uoon lawsuit, dropped the claim National Druggist.

INCOME OF BUYERS.
Subordinate Employees Who MakC Mor
 Money Than Managers.

Subordinate Employees Who MakG More
 Money Than Managers.
 ''It will probably surprise most peo- ple," said one of the partners in dry goods firm the other day, ito know that frequently some of the subordinate en- ployes receive larger remuneration than the man in whose hands rests the main responsibility for running business. The men who usually make the most money in the very large firms are not the superintendent and his chief as- sistants, but the buyers of departments.
 'The nominal salary of buyer in this house is much less than that of the superintendent, but the superintend- ent's salary, with the exception of a New Years present from the firm, is practically the extent of his income. The buyers salary, on the contrary, is usually the least part of his earnings. The responsibility of buyer ends with his purchasing for his department all that the trade could possibly demand of the quality desired by the customer, and at price which will allow the firm a good profit while making the article cheap for the purchaser. If, moreover, he can undersel1 some other firm he is pleasing his firm immensely, and is sure to get substantial check as a New-Year's offering.
 'In addition to this the jobbing firms which sell to the retailers must compete with each other to secure the favor of the buyer. To illustrate: The buyer in our china department receives salary of S, 900 year, and he annually can ex- pect from the firm present of S1, 900. l have not the slightest doubt that he gets fully as much, if not more, in presents from the firm from whom he buys. Dishonest? We'll, perhaps so, strictly speaking, but the fact is that the custom, although not openly ad- mitted, is very general. The firm knows it, but, as have already said, their interest in the matter ends when the buyer secures the right kind of stock at the right price. The way in which the jobbing firms give those pres ents makes it next to impossible to get direct evidence, even if the firm so de- sired.
 'It might be said that if they did not have to make these gifts they could af- ford to sell their goods for less money, and thus increase the profits of the re- tail firm; but the fact is that, after all considering the immense sales, the money given in this way by any one firm would not materially affect the prices if they were turned in to our ac- count. The very fact that the custom is so general and that the retail firms know it is an answer to most objections. I have even known of cases whero the buyer of a department, who was par ticularly successful, refused to take partnership because his profits as an employe were larger than he had any reason to hope for as a partner. There are number in this town whose iD- come ranges from $1O,OOO to S25, ,000 year, while there are mighty few super intendents who touch the lower of these figures. Y. Sun.

A Story of the Shah.

It is told of Nasr-ed-Deen that on one occasion he conceived the idea of imi- tating Haroun-el-Raschid, and going about by night in disguise and unattend- ed through the streets of Teheran. On leaving the castle the sentinel, dozing in his box, let him pass two nights with out hindrance, whereupon the Shah had the sleepy sentinel fiogged. The third night another soldier stood on guard, and he stopped the Shah, and forced him, despite all his protestations, to spend the rest of the night in the sen- try-box, barring egress with his bayo- net. The next morning the Shah, after having been liberated, first had the un- accommodating soldier bastinadoed and then sent him purse with sum equal to $50 and robe of honor, but the Shah was cured of his love for nightly excur- sions.-Loudon Spectator.

ERRATlC BOULDERS.
Some of the Wonderful Features of the
 Famous Moheg n Rock.

Some of the Wonderful Features of the
 Famous Moheg n Rock.
 During the past summer and fall Prof. Henry Beals, fellow of the Royal Society of London, has been visiting the New England coast, making study of the erratlc boulders so common through out that and other sections of the United States. His special search has been for rocking stones," but very few of which are known to exist, that is, con- paratively speaking. During his tray els the aid rendered by local geologists and scientific societies was greatly ap- preciated by the English scientist.
 All geologi5ts, whether of local, State or National reputation, worked in con- junction with the professor, seeking to establish beyond a doubt the theory that these great rocl-s and curiously- balanced stones, which in many in stances weigh hundreds of tons, were carried on floating iceborgs during that mythical era known to geologists as ''the glacial period"
 Of the rocking stones" Beal discov- cred but one new example in addition to those already known. This was at Noank, Conn.,, on the farm of Caleb Haley, New York fish dealer. This rocking wonder is estimated by the dis coverer to weigh twenty-five tons, and has rocking scope of only six inches, allowing it to be readily moved by the muscular eXertions of one arm and hand. Only one other rocking stone" is known in New England, that at Lanesboro, Mass. Mir. Beal took a photograph of Mohegan rock, also known as Shehegan, in the town of Montville. The name, Mohegan rock, was applied by the early settlers, because it was used by the Indian tribe of that name as fortress and as 8 watchtower and sentinel rock. Late writers describe it as being the largest specimen of the cratic boulder rodyht down by the ice flow, now known to exist in this or any other country. It is forty-fve feet high and seventy feet long, and is calculated by scientists to weigh at least ten thousand tons; it is wonderful to think of the i'm mense size of an ice flow which was able to move under this enormous load. It is evidenced by the large flakes of stone that have been clipped from it's sides by the insinuating frosts, that it must have laid in its present position for thousands of years.-St Louis Re public
