Salaries among the Msthoaists have advanced some what, but they are still extremely low The country parsons look upon their city brethren as rolling In wealth aud luxury, vet not single Methodist pas tox even ip New York city receives as high salary as i've thousand dollars a year. This seems incredible, but. ae-., cordtng to the New York Tribune. it is a fact, though it must be remembered that parsonage is almost always pro vided and ia furnished in some way ors other, comfortable or uncomfortable. It ia not until one comes to the eouns. try distrscso that the really meager sal. aries are found The case of the preacher who applied for fuli eonnec5 ll00 WlO0 sue 16ccHt cOu1GFe6Ss ay Brooklyn IS still fresh.

Artificial Pstroieum.

One of the latest chemical discoveries is method for the artificial produo- tion cf petroleum. The process is slm- p5e and effective. It is the distillatiou q animal tats and oils at tempera- |Eure of three hundred to four hundred |hagrses qentigrade at pressure of |ewenty.f fve atmospheres in strong Aron vessel. About seventy per cent. of the fatty matter is transformed into koetrolenm, this being ninety per cent 'kf the theoretical yield. The discov- 1kry is not of any commercial im- bcrtance up to date as the arsi- 6cial product cost, a great deal more than the natural product of khe rock. But for aught anyone is Justified in saying to the contrary all khis may be changed within the next kew years by the use of cheaper basic material, or because of the increased scarcity of petroleum, or both. The mater, in any event, is one of great
 scientific interest. 1t tends to show shov the natural article has been pro duced by the process of nature. while
 it may prove to be the starting poist iu
 an investigation that will lead up to
 other discoveries having more prae'
 4ical bearing.

Eisures Which Show the Growing Power
 of tha Mississippi yalley.
 Inc percentage of farna-hiffng farai- lies In Iowa in 1890 was 2s.57. The per centaGe of hired farms 10 Illinois in 1880 was 31 s5; the figures for 1890 are not yet published, out the growth of tenancy in other states indicates that the percentage will not be less than to. Between 1880 and 1890 Wisconsin gained 6,750 owning cuitiyators and 7,27T tenant cultivators; Iowa gained only 3,bal owning cultivators and 16,- 5eS tenant cultivators. Tue percent age of tenauov in Minnesota increased from e.lb to 1s.25. In Nebraska the percentage of tenancy was 1902 in 1880. The figures for 1900 are not out, but the area cultivated by tenants of the state increased from 95s,6sS acres in 1884 to ,a97. .47o in 1890, and A. F. Bent ley's monograph on Harrison, Neb. taking that as typical western farm community, showed that of i36. owners of the land in that township fifty one had never been resident in the town, and ten had lived there and moved away; la, 9eo acres in that town were cultivated by owners and e,s60 by ten- ants. Between 1880 and 1884 the mum. Der of Michigan farms cultivated by owners diminished seventyfour and the number of rented farms increased 8 ,4o4. What do these facts indicatef According to the New York Commer- cial Bulletin they indicate that where as twenty or thirty years ago the eul. tivators of tue soil had all the prod ucts, e considerable and growing frae- tion of the farmers of the west. as well as of New England, New Jersey and the south, now, with the prices oi produce lower than they used to be, divide tue products with tho owners o1 the land
