PUGET SOUND NAVAL STATION.
The New Dry Docks said to be Faulty
in Construction.

CHICAGO, June 10. A special from
Washington says: The first result OF
Secretary Herbert's Pacific Coast tour is
an official investigation of the new Puget
Sound naval station. Captains Assersin,
Menocal and Prindel of the Civil Engi-
neer Corps left New York very privately
last Friday night for Seattle Oh a mission
which has been carefully guarded. They
are the ranking officers of their corps.
Their expert opinion is required as to the
usefulness of the new dry dock, costing
S600, 900. now under construction. 1t is
claimed that the contractors have no!
driven the piles deep enough, and that
inferior concrete has been used. Secretary
Herbert thinks il bad policy to have the
dock prove failure as soon as an emer-
gency arises for promptly docking 10,

Your petitioners for long years past

She Had the Toothache.

A Philadelphia newspaper is respon-
sible for this story about q cat. This
particular feline belonged to O dentist
and seemed TO take a delight in watch
ing the doctor operate ON his patients.
One day it was noticed that pussy re-
fused to eat and that she often yowled
In apparent distress, but no one knew
what was the matter. The next morn
ing, after q patient had left the chair,
pussy jumped into the place he had oc-
cupied and gave q pitiful yowl Struck
with an idea, the dentist carefully ex-
amined the cats mouth and found a
swollen gum and an liberated tooth.
He promptly extracted the i~ncisor, and
pussy Immediately began to pur in a
very contented amer. 1t may have
been only a coincidence, but it really
looked as If the cat knew where to &c

some people are so fond of calling fin de
siecle) ON discovering that the damage
TO her home belongings has been greater
than the net result of the donation party.
The personal popularity of the minister
is pretty accurately gauged by the size
Of his donation, and when it dwindles
he might about as we'll make up his
mind that his usefulness is q thing Of
the past in that neighborhood, and 1t is
time for him to go a-candidating. IL he
be popular with his church and the
worlds people, too, his donations will
be satisfactory and the attendance 80
large that the parties will be held in
the town hall, where, though there
can be no dancing at q donation, there
is room a-plenty for those curious
games known as 'ssnap-and-catch- 'em,
needles eye and pillows.
IL is the going a-candidating that
tries the soul OF the country minister.
Maybe he has offended some member Of
his church by an allusion to the vice OF
stinginess, or perchance he has reproved
d deacon's daughter for s.sparkin her
best fellow right in meetin, possibly
the youthful exuberance Of her compan-
ion; In the current couplet the minister's
own son has not comported himself
Alright; like enough the preacher SER

to a new field, and SO he goes forth

awaits anxiously until d church that
will receive him has been found. Fortu-
nate indeed are those ministers who nc
coed i'm pleasing one church for a<whole

tunate are the ministers OF the Metho-
dist church who never have to go a-can-
debating, but go where they are sent by
the conference, even though they have
to move every two or three years
Tt often happens that the country min
lister who has knowledge Of some meth
Cd of earning money will seek to add to
his slender income by labor of some

and they often farm il ON shares in d

country ministers. If you have at amy
time spoken of these men as working
for their salaries because from the force
Of circumstances they have to receive
compensation for their services, my adj
vice to You is to go away somewhere,
alone with yourself, and blush for very
shame as You never blushed before. Z
/ do not mean to assert that all coun-
try ministers are perfect. They + all
imperfect. IL they were not, they would
not be human, and SO would not be suit-
able vehicles for the carrying to their
fellowmen Of the tidings of the gospel,
the reception of which they and their
supporters believe will bring peace to
every troubled soul and eventually
dominate the sin and with 1t the mis-
cry of the whole earth. But no one who
has known country ministers as q class
and has taken thought Of the difficulties
they meet in the way, the obstacles they
have to overcome in the performance of
their duties, their limited income and
the things that are required of them
will hesitate to indorse every word /
have written.
Some of the theologues of 1894, who
have friends or a6quaintances to help
them with their influence. will find pas
torates in the larger towns and cities,
where their income in dollars will be
somewhat in keeping with the years of
study and thought and labor that they
have expended in preparing themselves
for their life work, but the proportion
will be small. In 1898 there were l6, !
443 Methodist Episcopal ministers in
the United States. They received in the
aggregate so, 298, 915 as compensation
for their services that year, or an aver
age Of a little over $500. The average
paid to Baptist ministers is even less,
being only $404, and the ministers Of
| these two denominations are as well
paid as amy certainly. In the big cities
and the prosperous towns and villages
tho average is higher, Of course, but in
truly rural localities IL Ia correspond
ingly below it.
Even in the great centers Of wealth
and intelligence, where the salaries OF
ministers are large, they are far below
the average income of men in other pro-
LESSONS.
Yet the ministers of the United States
are not q lot of gloomy minded men,
cast down and discouraged. On the con-
trary, they are cheerful and bright. as
q class, beyond most men. Most of them
know early In the ministerial career
that they have reached the limits prac-
tically of their monetary emoluments,
snd that they can never hope to be more
than safe from want in their declining
years, much less rich Many of them
discover before they have preached many
years that their annual income will
never exceed a few hundred dollars. Al
the same time they cannot fail to per.
