NEW YORK, SoSss. Our complicated
city life nowadays has developed remark
able type of business clergymen. They are
broad shouldered, deep chested, mustach-
1oed, brisk and brusque men of affairs To
meet them i'll n mixed company you would
take them to be bank cashiers or railroad
officers or wholesale merchants, except for
certain scholarly presence which gives
them distinction all their own.
The reason is not far to seek These men
are the Survival of the fittest" from the
tremendous crush and stress OF New York
life. The weaklings have disappeared, the
giants remain, and it is theirs to manage
the great religious energies of the metrop-
oils.
Few realize how mighty are these ener
gies or what race of Titans is required to
manipulate them. Most people think that
vigorous city church is much on the model
Of the simpler church in smaller places,
only weather. and more elegant. But such
anotion is entirely wrong. A church like ST.
Georges, for example, of which Dr. Rains
ford is rector, is n seething volcano of edu
cational and social forces, demanding lead
er who has the genius for organization that
would rule trunk line railroad. Dr.
Rainsford fully meets these requirements

and never happier than when, rife in hand
he is hunting grizzlies in the Rocky noun
tains, he needs every muscle and nerve, and
has in fact come sharp up to the precipice
of nervous prostration from the distrac-
tions of his parish duties.
One who visits DR.. Rainsford feels in
stantly that he is meeting n business man
In business hours and that he must dis
patch his business and retire Always
courteous, the rector wastes no moments,
pays no compliments. seeks no favors
That the money will come for his score of
vast enterprises he assumes as matter of
course, and come it does. AS he once told
the writer, II always have all the money
want" the reason being that a group of
the richest men in New York know and
trust his splendid administrative genius
and practically give him carte blanche.

Is Dr. Edward Judson of the Adoniram

the famous missionary to Burmah, DR..

church, but this does not account for the

Cheese and EGGS.

No. 1.-Pare the rind from pound
of cheese, lay it in a pie plate, and
place in moderate oven. AS soon as
the cheese begins to soften, break over
it, in seperate places, as many eggs as
there are persons, sprinkle lightly with
salt and pepper, and replace in the
oven until the eggs are well set. Lay
each egg, with cheese below 1T, on a
nicely Drowned and buttered slice OF
toast: place the slices on dessert plates.
and put one beside each plate at
table.
No. 2. Poach one egg for each per-
son, and lay on a large plate. Crate
some cheese over the eggs-as much
as desired; put the plate in the oven
until the cheese is melted.
No. 3-Cut very thin a quarter OF
q pound of cheese and put it in fry
ing pan over slow fire. Add to it
halfa cup of milk, butter, pinch
each of salt and pepper. Stir until the
cheese is almost melted; then add
three well-beaten eggs With half cup
of milk. Cook until set, and serve in
q hot dish or on thin toast. An agate
pan is much the best for cheese.
No. 4.-Put into an agate pan Q
lump of butter (hickory nut size), and
place oyer a moderate fire. Beat to-
gether six eggs. with salt and pepper
TO taste, and pour them into the pan;
add Immediately, half a cup Of grated
cheese. Stir until we'll set. Serve in
hot, fiat dish.-Good Housekeeping.

The understanding of the cooking
stove or range, or, some one calls IT,
the familiar Demon" Is q necessity If
economy is an object. Waste certainly
ought to be discounternanced, even by
the housekeeper most abundantly sup
piled with means, and waste there
often is in the use of fuel. Coal or
wood Is heaped into the stove, ana
still the oven will not heat salts
factorily, many times because the
drafts are not properly regulated, or
the ashes not thoroughly scraped
from beneath the fire. An eXamina-
ton will prove of service.
French Salad Dressing.-Take one
teacupful of vinegar, one teaspoonful
salad oil or the same quantity or fresh
butter, pinch Of mustard, one of salt
and a tablespoonful of sugar. Let
these simmer over the fire While you
beat two eggs thoroughly. Then stir
the eggs into the, other ingredients,
taking care that they do not boil. 1t
should present smooth, velvety ap-
pearance.
After trying all the ordinary meas
ures without avail, DR.. Loebl fell back

dose. The hiccough stopped immedi'
ately, and didn't return for six hours,
aud then ceased after second dose OF

How to start balky horse.-A
writer in Our Dumb Animals says
that whenever horse driven by him
has balked, he has got out of his car
riage, gone to the horses forefoot,
lifted it from the ground, and struck
he shoe few blows with stone. He
has never failed to start a balky horse
in this very simple way.
