UNDERPAID MINISTER'S.

Why, Despite Constant Financial Worry.
They Live Longer Than Other Men.
Life insurance men will all tell you
that ministers of religion as 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. 1
have seen ministers kept on miserable
stipends by parsimonious congregations
who wondered at the dizziness of the
sermons, when the men of God were per-
picked 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 1 have seen them
struggle on with salaries of five or six
hundred dollars a year-the average
less than that-their struggle well de-
picted by the Western missionary who
saws in a 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 a
severe winter. our children wore their
summer clothing" And these men of
God 1 find in different parts of the land
struggling against annoyances and ex-
ASPIRATIONS 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
fulness of soul. How do you account
for the fact that these ife-insurance
men tell us that ministers as class live
longer than any others? 1t is because
of the JOY OF their work. the JOY of
the harvest field, the joy of greeting
prodigals home to their Fathers house.

winter and during the present season
until his sudden death. For each FRI
day night he invited six young ladies to
go with him to the opera His guests
were chosen from among all his 40
quaintances and not often was the same
girl entertained twice. For each
party he also secured a matron as
a chaperone, and he himself
made the eighth person in the
party. To every lady he sent huge
bouquet of the costliest roses, tied with
a very lcng and wide satin ribbon ex-
actly matching her dress, or at least
harmonizing with it in color. To be
exact about this he usually obtained a
scrap of the chief material in each in
stance and these samples were delivered
to the florist, who obtained ribbons for
the eight bouquets to suit. Every Fri
day night the Kennedy barouche would
start from his own quarters-he had
lately lodged in the Union League Club
with the host alone within it His
first call would be at the house of the
chaperone and thence they would go the
rounds of six honored domiciles, finally
bringing up at the Metropolitan with
| the always-envied load. Mr. Kennedy
| was a handsome old man, large of
stature, with ruddy, beaming face and
snow-white hair. 1t was an odd spec
| tacle to see him in his box surrounded
by bevy of vivacious girls handsomely
costumed and profusely deckcd with
| roses of his providing. After the opera
was over he always took the party TO
one or another of the most fashionable
| restaurants, where he treated them to a
magnificent supper. The cost of this

! of heart disease. Now, how many of
my readers will fail to remark that, of
course, no old widower's heart could
stand such complex strain as that?-

THE NEW EDUCATION.

of Harm In the Past.
There is grave misconception in the
minds of many persons concerning the
new education" 1t is supposed by
some that the new education only
gives boys such things as they like to
learn. Their diet, according to this
theory, should be plum-cake and jam,
made spicy to the palate and easy to
masticate, and it has been supposed that
oral teaching and object lessons were
resorted to because it was an easy way
to get knowledge into the mind of the
child. This misconception has done a
world of harm in the past; it is not
likely to do so much in the future, be-
cause now the principles of the new
education" are more clearly under
stood. Oral teaching and object lessons
are given not because knowledge is thus
more easily gained. but because the
mode of obtaining that knowledge is
more in accordance with natures sys.
tenn. There are many persons in the
school-room who have unframed judg-
ments, but who desire to employ the
new modes of teaching. They often re-
force no discipline, and give no punish
ments. Such persons will fail, because
they are ignorant. There is work before
the pupil; there is work before him all
the way from his infancy to old age.
The best school-rooms are those that
have the most work done; but that work
should be done wisely and easily, with
little friction and with the least GU tlay
of mental power; there is such a thing
as educational machinery. Many
teachers are inventive, and discover
methods of teaching which. like ma
chinery in the physical world, reach
ends with the least outlay of power
This misconoeption of the new educa-
ton" is not &C likely to do harm as it
once did; still it is worth while to call
attention to it. The time has passed
when any thing new passes current
under the name new education" The
people, as we'll as teachers, are begin
ming to realize that there are principles
with practices based upon them--

MARvELs OF HYPNOTISM.

Experiments Which Are Battling to the
Ordinary Comprehension.
The end 1 have ever held before my
eyes, then, and which I hope 1 have
never lost from view. is this: To study
the hypnotic phenomena according to
strictly scientific method and for this
purpose to employ processes purely
physical and which can always be COM
pared with one another, SO that the re-
suits obtained by me may be vigorously
tested by all observers who shall use
the same processes under the same con-
ditions. Take one example from among
thousand. I present to a woman pa
tient in the hypnotic state blank leaf
of paper and say to her: 'Heres is my
portrait; what do you think of it? Is it
a good Hkeness?" After moments
hesitation she answers: eyes, indeed,
your photographs; will you give it to
me?' To impress deeply in the mind
of the subject this imaginary portrait 1
point with my finger toward one of the
four sides of the square leaf of paper,
and tell her that my profile looks in
that direction; l describe my clothing.
The image being now fixed in her mind
/ take that leaf of paper and mix it with
a score of other leaves precisely like it,
l then hand the whole pack to the pa
tient, bidding her go over them and let
me know whether she finds among these
any thing she has seen before. She be-
gins to look at the leaves one after an
other, and as soon as her eyes fall
upon the one first shown to her q had
made upon it mark that she could not
discern) forthwith she exclaims:
':Look your Portrait" What is more
curious still, if I turn the leaf upside
down, as soon as her eyes rest upon it
she turns it over, saying that my pho
tograph is ON the diverse. l then con-
vey to her the order that she shall con-
tinue to see the portrait on the blank
paper even after the hypnosis has passed.
Then 1 awaken her and again hand to
her the pack of papers, requesting her
to look over them. She handles them
just as before when she was hypnotized,
and utters the same exclamation:
''Look, your Portrait" If now tell her
that she may retire, she returns to her
domitory, and her first care will be to
show to her companions the photograph
/ have given her. OF course, her COM
panions, not having received the sug-
gestion, will see only blank leaf of pa
per without any trace whatever of a
PorIraIC, anu Will 1augn at our SUBJECT
and treat her as visionary. Further
more, this suggestion, this hallucina-
ton, will, if 1 wish, continue several
days; all 1 have to do is to express the
wish to the patient before awakening
her.
The foregoing experiment has been
made hundreds of times by me and by
others, and the fact can easily be SUBJ
stantiated; their objectivity is as COM
plete as could be wished in researches
of this kind. Hypnotism is directly
amenable to our means of investigation,
and must needs be an integral part of
the known domain of science; to that
goal our efforts ought to be directed

"MY DEAR Boy: The only courage that
counts in meeting temptation is the courage to
run away. Leave Melrose as soon as possible.
Stay not on the order of your going. but go at
once. You must be growing daily worse under
the influence OF such a struggle, and the parish
must be deteriorating also. The thing to be
