The parSOn and His Wife,

Hiring fresh minister is always o
very interesting and not infrequently
perpleXing matter to the church at
least The minister's feelings are not
usually taken into account. The church
has to measure the merchantable intel
lect that it proposes to buy by the
length Of its available purse, and they
always propose to get the utmost for
their money. This may be an unpleas-
ant fact but it is a fact Just the same
The first question is, how much money
can we raise, and second, how much
brains can we hire for that amount?
In regard to the preacher there are
great many questions involved. He
must be a man that will draw" not
like beast Of burden exactly, but he
must draw good congregation. He
must also have a certain amount of pol
ish. This, however, is sometimes
overlooked in cases where the man hap
pens to be brainy) He must have a
certain degree of huency of speech. He
must be educated to some extent. He
must be long-sutfering, patient under
tribulation, diligcnt in business, fervent
in spirit serving the Lord. He should
also be a good man. This last qualifica-
ton IS somewhat essential for, although
bad men sometimes succeed as preach
ers, they are liable at last to upset the
church and bring disgrace on the cause.

right eve; it remained lying under a
counter, avoiding light and heat, al
though habitually it kept close to the
fire. 1t adopted general treatment, rest
and abstinence from food The local
treatment consisted in licking the upper
surface of the paw, which it applied to
the wounded eye, again licking the paw
when it became dry Cats also, when
hurt, treat themselves by this simple
method Of continuous irrigation. NJ.
Delaney cites the case of cat which
remained for some time lying on the bank
of a river also that of another cat which
had the singular fortitude to remain for
forty-eight hours under jet of cold wa
tie. Animals suffering from traumatic
fever treat themselves by the continued
application of cold, which NJ. Delaney
considers to be more certain than any of
the other methods. In view of these in
teresting facts, we are, he thinks, forced
to admit that hygiene and therapeutics,
as practiced by animals, may, in the in
terests Of physiology, he studied with
advantage. He could go even further,
and say that veterinary medicine, and
perhaps human medicine, could gather
from them some useful indications, pre-
c;aely because they are prompted by in
stinct, which are etlicaclous in the pres
ervation or the restoration of health

How Animals Practice Medicine.

A large number of animals wash
themselves and battle, as elephants,
stays, birds and ants. If we turn our
attention 10 the question Of reproduce
ton, we shall see that all animals
suckle their young, keep them clean,
wean them at the proper time, and ed
ucate them; but these maternal in
stincts are frequently rudimentary in
women of civilized nations. In fact,
man may take lesson in hygiene from
the lower animals. Animals get rid Of
their parasites by using dust. mud,
clay, etc. Those suffering from fever
restrict their diet, keep quiet, seek
darkness and airy places, drink water,
and sometimes even plunge into it.
When dog has lost its appetite it eats
that species of grass known as dogs
grass lchIendent), which acts as an
emetic and purgative. Cats also eat
grass. Sheep and cows, when i'll, seek
out certain herbs. When dogs are con
stipatcd they eat fatty substances,
such as oil and butter, with aviditv.

Recital of the Disadvantages of Being
Born Double.
[From ID Laramie HoomerangI

~
In answer to a correspondent, who
writes Us on the above subject, We have
compiled the following information:
Eng and Chang were born simultane-
ously on the 10th day Of April, 1911,
and died at the age Of G3 yelrs.
They were connected together hv a
patent coupler, which entered the body
of each III the region of the vest
pocket
This connecting arrangement neros-
sarilv threw them a great deal III each
others society. When they were busy
their lives were rendered more or less
unhappy by their widely-dif1erent
tastes.
Eng was very fond of sour apples in
his youth, and when at night he rolled
and tossed upon his couch with a large
stock of collie on hand, Chang had to
lie awake and get the benefit. Later
in life Chang developed a strong long
ing for the flowing bowl, while Eng was
Good Templar.
While Eng went to lodge, the worthy
Outside Guard would refuse to let
Chang in because he couldn't give the
Password, and, as Eng could not go in
and leave Chang in the ante-room, he
had to go home and wait till another
meeting. Eng was Mason and Chang
was a Knight Of Pythias, and they used
to give each other away sometimes and
have lots of fun.
Chang joined the Episcopal Church,
and believed in sprinkliug, while Eng
was a Baptist, not only got immersed
himself, but fixed it 50 that Chang had
his sins washed away at the same time.
Once in a while Chang would get an
invitation to an evening party in set
to which Eng did not belong, and then
they had to settle the question by put
ting Etruscan noses on each other as to
whether they should goor stay at home.
Chang died first, and Eng died few
DAYS later as a matter of courtesy. Eng
was not prepared to die and regretted
that he was not consulted by Chang be
fore this important step was taken, but
he said it would save the expense OF
two funerals and he wanted to do what
was right
The lives Of those two men were some
what peculiar in many respects. There
were mauv little namcless aunovanccs
to which each was compelled to submit,
and which would not at first occur TO
the student. For instance, Chang had
to get up and 90 for the doctor in com
pauy with Eng whenever Eug's children
had the Group, ana Whenever Chaug's
wife thought there was a burglar in tile
woodshed Eng had to get up in his
night shirt and 60 with his brother III

They could not ride the festive

marched mournfully into the library,
and after falling over roll of carpet
and an empty cOal-hod, hung his hat on

set them carefully on his desk, while he
groped about for his slippers. His in

Bridget, shielded behind the sofa, had
grasped one hand as if it had been a
