Relief Of Aged Mini.ter..

Schemes for the relief of aged min

the Standard (Bapt.) of Chicago. TT
is suggested by contributor to the
Outlook that each church should main
tain for the benefit of its pastor an en-
dowment life-insurance policy, the sur
render value of which, at the age of
siXty-five or seventy, should be suffl-
cient to provide for his wants during
the remainder Of his life. 1t Is sug-
gested that the annual premium on a
$1,000 policy of the sort named would
be but slight burden on most church.

to deduct from small salary. The
point Is made that in the end the
churches would actually save money in
this way. We doubt If the scheme
could be easily applied in the smaller
churches, where it is most needed. But
1t does emphasize tho truth (Which, we
must insist, is not sufficiently apprecia-
ted among Baptists-not to speak more
generality. namely, that, since the
churches so largely demand young or
middle-aged men for their work, and
pay them no more than is necessary

strongly If the pastors engage or invest

WHO is JEsUS7

The spirit to which Christian truth
in its fulness is exclusively revealed Is
that of humility. The docile mind
learns Of the doctrine. Nothing spirit.
ual can be mastered unless there Is
first willingness at least to be in sym
pathy with the spiritual. 1t is so with
respect to any particular doctrine and
to all doctrines. DR.. A. J. F. Behrends,
Of Brooklyn. in discussing recently the
question Who is Jesus Christi" has
pertinently observed that the moment
suspicious or critical attitude is as
sumed to Jesus Christ, He becomes "a
psychological riddle and an historical
enigma" For without sympathy even
men cannot be understood. Love
need not be blind" but suspicion on
the other hand always distorts the
judgment" The man who does not be-
lieve in Jesus Christ makes it impos-
sible to form consistent and satisfac-
tory estimate of Him." There is sound
sense in these observations. In popu-
lar usage the very term critic seems to
imply measure Of preexistent preju-
dice and antagonism. A man who Is
obstinately Of such a temper cannot
be critic of the Christ and at the same
time really know Christ. They who as
sumo a patronizing attitude toward Je-
sus by that very act throw away the
key of knowledge.

EXTENSIVE SHEEP FARMING.

Australian Breeder VIII Sheer Over
1,26O,OOO Animals This Season.
Samuel McCaughey Of Coonong, Riv-
crina, Australia is the largest sheep
farmer in the world. both as regards
numbers and, what Is more important,
quality. He is the most progressive
sheep farmer OF the age, and has
brought his stock to great perfection.
He shears 1.250,000 sheep this season,
and would have had more, but lost
250.000 in the drouth two years ago,
but thought nothing of it, as every
year he has between 100000 and 400,-
300 lambs. At Toorak and Dunlop, his
stations on the Darling river, he shears
100000 sheep this year. He bought
them from his uncle, Sir Samuel Will
son, und has developed them magnii-
Gently. There is literally water, wat
er, everywhere" what, with dams,
tanks and artesian wells; and all Is
fenced in and sub-divided into pad
docks. The area Is about 100000
acres in a ring fence. He has also
fine property in Queensland. on
which he is shearing 40O.O00 sheep. His
Coonong station is only his stud farm.
It Is only 1900 acres in extent, and he
has upon it $4,000 sheep Of very high
quality, from which he sends annually
large drafts to improve the breed on
his other properties.
Mr.. McCaughey is able to boast, as
one result of long-continued efforts,
that he has increased the yield of each
Of his own sheep yearly to the ex-
tent of one pound of clean secured
wool. Now, even at the present low
range Of prices, a pound of clean
secured merino combing is not worth
less than Is pence, SO that it follows
that this enterprising man has increas-
ed his wool returns by upward of
6 100000 per annum. These victories
of Mr.. McCaughey are not merely mo
less," but much more" renowned
than the sort of victories that are now
being gained on the northwest frontier
Of India.
1t was only fourteen years ago that
the owner of Coonong first became
convinced of the value Of the Vermont
breed Of merino sheep. 1t was in 1883
that he purchased about dozen of
this breed of rams. which had been
imported into Sydney. So convinced
was he that he had, as 1t were, struck
oil, that three years later he visited
the states and selected for himself 100
Of the finest rams in that state and
the following year the flock was ad-
ded to by a further importation of
300 more. From that time to the
present almost every year has found
Mr.. McCaughey importing more OF
these wonderful creatures.

CHEAP SEWING MACHINES
Trick Two Sharpers Played on the Gnilelesi
Sioux and Chicago White Mon.

Trick Two Sharpers Played ON the Gnilelesi
Sioux and Chicago White Mon.
Two months ago two young men
giving the names of Paul Ray and
John D. Jones. of Chicago, went to
Rushville, Neb., as agents for we'll
known sewing machine company. They
were apparently selling high-grade
machine for $40. They declared that
this was an exclusive offer made to
the Sioux Indians and would not ap-
ply to the whites. They explained
that the scheme was promoted by re-
ligious society in the East, which was
paying the difference between the
manufacturers cost and the price de-
manded of the Indians for the ma.
chine.
One hundred and sixty fine sewing
machines were sold by the enterpris-
ing swindlers. For each machine $40
was collected. Now collector of the
company has arrived to investigate
the situation. He has 100 leases for as
many machines, on each of which $40
has been credited as first payment.
Fifty dollars is still due on each.
The swindle was very smooth one.
In each instance the Indian purchasers
were required to sign 'testimonial"ir
order that the religious society might
have evidence that the machines had
been placed according to the sales
mems statement. These testimonials
now prove to be the leases which the
investigating agent is looking up. They
are the regulation leases that go with
all machines throughout the country
where they are purchased on time. No
title is vested in the holder of the
machine under this form of lease. The
Indians who secured machines under
the deal merely rented them, signing
a contract with the company by which
they were to secure full title whenever
the money paid in rent, from month to
month, equalled the full selling price
of the machine. Now the agent has
the worst contract of his life trying to
explain the situation and secure the
return of the machines. Under the
conpany's rules the fist $40 collected
on the sale of time" machine always
goes to the selling agent, so the head
quarters agent shipped the whole car
load Of machines, the young swindlers
delivered them, collected their $40 on
each machine, and Immediately disap-

A. STEERS STRANGE DEATH.
Ills Horns Grew Through His Eyes
and Killed Him.


His Horns Grew Through His Eyes
and Killed Him.
A squatter in the back blocks OF
New South Wales had young steer
with horns go perfectly turned that
they formed two artistic loops at the
sides of his head. One day "Boss"
strayed with mob of store cattle in
to piece of wild country infested only
by kangaroos and the out-station
boundary riders families.
These cattle are rounded up and
otherwise handled but once a year.
Before this annual yarding took place
Boss" had become a fractions terror
to every animal and man in that
range He had terrified and scattered
the herd that was once his mates; ne
had charged madly every kind person
who was wont to pat him. Because
his horns curled like those of a sheep
he was called "Sheep Head" His
mild, tractable nature added to this
delusion of likening him to a lamb.
Six months after his entrance upon
the range he began to act strangely.
A wild look shot out of his eye under
the points of the ingrowing horns,
whose shadow fell heavier and heav-
Ter upon the ratina. He constantly
shook his head, as if trying to rid
"Boss" would stand aud stare at the
points which were pressing the pupils
nearly up against the sockets. He
became nero irritable and rnfrlendly.
He roared, s1GEped, shook his crazed
head and stared at the creeping things
before his vision.
AT last Boss" went mad and bel
lowed through the night like an en-
ragged demon. He chased everything
in sight, and viciously dashed himself
against the forest trees. The mere
tramp of foot angered him. The
points of the horns were cruelty press
ing his helpless eyes back In their
sockets. and every jar upon the
ground tortured his brain and enraged
him. Boss" had scattered the mob
of his terminating mates and had so
terrorized the few people about that
fences did not give q sense Of security.
Women and children lived in mortal
dread OF the unfortunate beast.
At length his maddened roar was
heard no more. About month after

for a week or more and had been

The Leaky Missouri River.

F. r. Spearman writes of Queer
American Rivers" in st. Nicholas. Mr.
Spearman says:
With all its other eccentricities, the
Missouri River leaks badly; for you
know there are leaky rivers as well as
leaky boats. The government en-
gineers once measured the flow Of the
Missouri away up in Montana, and
again some hundred miles further
down stream. To their surprise, they
found that the Missouri, instead Of
growing bigger down stream, as every
rational river should, was actually
10000 second-feet smalled at the lower
point.
Now, while 10000 second-feet could
be spared from such a tremendous
river that amount of water makes a
considerable stream Of itself. Many
very celebrated rivers never had so
much water in their lives. Hence
there was great amazement when the
discrepancy was discovered. But OF
late years Dakota farmers away to the
south and east of those points on the
Missouri, sinking artesian wells, found
immense volumes of water where the
biologists said there wouldn't be any.
So it is believed that the farmers have
tapped the water leaking from that
big hole in the Missouri River away Up
in Montana; and from these wells they
irrigate large tracts of land, and, natu.
rally, they don't want the river-be5

when the weather is dry, to have a
river boiling out of your well, ready to
flow where you want it over the wheat.
fields! For of all manner Of work that
river can be put to, irrigation is, ]
think, the most useful. But isn't that
a queer way for the Missouri to wan.

It may be source Of wonderment to
one not familiar with the habits Of the
escallop to read, as he does at inter.
walls, that great bed of them has
been found-as, for instance, recently
in Great South Bay-in waters that
are we'll known, that are constantly
ashed, and that have been regularly
fished for years. The wonder is that
the escallops there were not discover
ed before. The fact Is that they were
not there, and the explanation Of that
is found in the fact that the escollop
has the power of locomotion. The
oyster in the early stages Of its exis.
tence is free swimmer, but from the
time that 1t attaches itself to some
thing and begins to grow into its final
and familiar form, which 1t does when
1t is still very minute, it remains fixed.
The escallop, however, is able to move
about, and sometimes 1t comes to the
top Of the water. It could do this
easily in four or five feet Of water; 1t
might reach the top from two or three
times that depth. 1t is sometimes TAX.

one Man Build. a church.

Religious enthusiasm in the case of
Andrew Bonner, a Georgia colored
man, is manifesting itself In unique
but substantial way. His ambition for
years has been to build church for
the benefit of some OF his own race,
the material used to be procured with
his own earnings. and no workman to
assist him in the rearing of the edi-
ice.
Andrew Bonner is a simple minded
negro, filled to overflowing with what
his admiring wife terms "de OIL time re-
ligion." He resides with her in COL
lege Park. village only few miles
from Atlanta.
With utter disregard of legal meas
ures, Andrew selected, two years ago,
site for the church of his dreams,
which he expects to be monument to
his memory long after he has returned
to dust. The fact that he does not
own the ground has never disturbed
him. When far sighted white friends
urged him to wait until ground could
be bought for the purpose he paid
no heed to the proposition but kept on
In his original purposes.
Every spare penny was spent by him
for lumber and nails. The work has
necessarily been slow, but now, after
twenty-four months Of patient labor,
Andrew gazes with pride upon the
building, which Is almost covered.
It Is rumored that the old darky has
sometimes denied his family bread
