The Church OF England.

From the Year Book just issued
by the church of England it appears
that the income which comes to it
from property owned, ancient en-
dowments and regular government
grants amounts annually to some.
thing over s5, $50, 900, yet the ex-
pense of the church amounted last
year to more than twice that sum,
the difference having been made up
by voluntary contributions. In
commenting on this state of affairs,
one of the London papers says:
"Thus we see that even now tho in
come which the church draws from
her own property is only about half
what she requires, while it is no
torious that many of her clergy are
still miserably underpaid and that
in some large cities her resources
are quite unequal to the demands
made upon them. To suppose that
in the case of disendowment an
other e5,O0O,00 would be at once
forthcoming from private contribu-
tions is little less than absurd.
Much of what is given to the church
now is given to her just because she
is what she is, the established
church of the nation, with the
many recommendations and advan-
tages which she would no longer
possess if disestablished." Here is
an argument that stands up strong
and tall until one remembers that
churches unaided by the state get
along quite we'll in England as else
where, though their supporters are
forced to contribute also to the reve.
nues of the establishment.-Ne

THE "CREDlT MANS" WORK.
How Business Houses Protect Themselves
Against Loss.


How Business Houses Protect Themselves
Against Loss.
The functions of credit man are
not generally known to the public,
but he is in many respects the nUst
important person employed by d
mercantile concern. Briefly, he is
supposed to be informed regarding
the commercial standing of every
tirrl OF individual with whom his
own house has any dealings, and
the firm for which he works has the
exclusive benefit of his investiga-
tons, his knowledge and his expert
ence. 1t does not trust to him alone,
of course, because in the case of a
large house there would be rather
more than he could attend to. The
regular mercantile agencies are de-
pended upon for certain amount
of information, usually that which
concerns the oldest and richest cor
porations, about whose solvency
there is commonly no question.
The credit man may, however, if
his employers suspect a necessity
for it, be called upon to probe still
further than the regular agencies
90, in order to make assurance
doubly sure.
When a would be buyer from
come remote part of the country
presents himself to a firm to which
he is entirely unknown, he is intro
duced at once to the credit man.
The latter receives whatever Gre
dentials the stranger has to offer,
and if he is satisfied that the house
will run no risk in selling to him he
states the fact, and his judgment is
accepted.
Various considerations determine
the amount of security which new
customer is required to show, and
not infrequently it is stipulated that
he shall have real estate backing
which is known to be responsible.
The credit man also figures out at
once the largest amount of credit
which can be granted to the new
buyer, this being determined accord
ing to the figure at which he is
rated.
Subsequently, as he runs up bills
for goods, they all pass under the
credit mans watchful eye, and if it
is found that the customer is close
upon his credit limit the last pur-
chase is often held until it is proved
to certainty that its delivery will
entail no loss to the firm. This proc
ess of keeping track of every buy
er's limit imposes never ending
task upon the credit man, and it is
one which requires delicate han
ding too. While great caution is
necessary, there must be as few
needless suspicious as possible, for
these are often the means of driving
away perfectly trustworthy custom
ers, who feel themselves insulted by
the reflection upon their financial
methods.
In cases where there is ground
for believing that customer will
bear watching, the credit mans in
vestigations are very thorough. Ho
inquiries as to the private affairs of
the buyer in question, finds out as
nearly as possible the amount of his
income and how his money is in
vested and keeps an eye as well
upon the way in which he lives and
spends. With every precaution,
however, there are many losses,
and it is the business of the annual
convention of credit men to discover
better ways each year of protecting
mercantile interests.-New York
Tribune.

MONKEY HAS THE MEASLES.
Ailment Peculiar to Humanity At
tacks a Simian ut a Paris Museum

So far as the members Of the French
Academy Of Medicine have been able
to ascertain, Cynocephalus is the first
monkey that ever had the measles.
Zanzibar was his birthplace. He was
brought to Madagascar, where he was
sold to a superior officer in the French
army, says the New York Press. AS
companion for him, the officer bought
another monkey, vagabond, who had
no name, and whose birthplace was I'M
known. The weather being cold, the
pets were placed in warm house.
P, private in the zouaves, who was
serving the officer, attended to their
wants. and often frolicked with them.
One day p went to the doctor, COM
planning of an eruption on his body.
The doctor saw at once that he had
the measles and hurried him off to
bed.
x, another soldier, was put in
charge Of the officers garden and
monkeys. Four days later he noticed
that Cynocephalus kept to the corner
of his cage and refused to eat The
same doctor who treated the zouaVe
was called in. An examination showed
an eruption on Cynocephalus' body and
all the other symptoms of measles. The
same treatment was given to him as to
the Zouave.
The other monkey was In no wise af-
f1icted To begin with, 1t is reported,
he was not so intelligent or so human
as CynocephaluS, who seems to have
lived up to his fine name and his place
in the Zanzibar peerage, and then the
two were of different tribes. THAT one

sitting by my guardians side in his
study, In the late twilight OF June
evening. We were engaged IN covering
new hymn books for the Sunday-schoo!,
and every now and again we would
read one Of the hymns aloud, In the ful!,
resonant and impressive voice to which
was due much of his power In revival.
Since my conversion, as he chose TO
call the artificial tension at which
had recently been living, his manner
towards me had greatly changed.
Whereas he had formerly treated me
with mere distant consideration, he was
now almost genial in his bearing, as
nearly tender and affectionate. I think,
as he was capable of being. The win
dows were open, the evening hour was
stealing on, the atmosphere OF the room
was soft, warm and sensuous with the
appealing fragrance Of the clustering
rose which rioted over the house at will.
I was in a yielding, plant, susceptible
mood. The high potency of religious
enthusiasm, united with the insidious
charm Of the hour and the place, made
me easy victim to q suggestion which
coupled the service Of God with senti-
mental self-surrender.
Mr.. Mavis unfolded to me then q
plan for my future, which. he told me,
had had it's conception in that hour
when he had contended with the LORD
that He should not abandon me to the
devil. The precious provision for my
welfare consisted in making me his

of love-, affecting to regard that as a

that what poor ma.keshift for passion
there was in his f1inty nature had
sprung into life for me when his glance
fell upon my disordered beauty amid
the dust and debris of Groves homely

His proposal, however, was calm,

inside out like an old glove.
BY the time we reached New York /
was fairly intoxicated. Never in my
whole nineteen years had I known
three hours so ecstatic as those. AS we
ran into the station a terrible feeling
of despair swept over me. The thought
of Deacon Rogers appalled, me; the
prospect of parting forever with these
warm-hearted and congenial compan-
ions was unbearable; the idea of allow
ing them to continue on their joyous
course, while I went back to those aw-
full hours Of dullness which threatened
to round out the whole compass Of my
life, gripped my heart until I thought
it would burst.
The Greeleys had volunteered to dis

intentions to do so; am sure she was.
