Once in awhile somebody makes a. startling suggestion in the name of
 Christianity The suggestion is often not heartily received by Christians, be-
 cause to receive it heartily and act on it would be inconvenient even if 1t were
 Christian. A Detroit clergyman makes a notable suggestion in public letter.
 He appears to think that all the labor CTS in the Lords vineyard should share alike, penny for penny. He comedies
 that the learned clergyman of large and wealthy congregation should re-
 ceive large salary, but believes that
 the one so handsomely paid should
 share with his unfortunate brother
 worker doing missionary labor on the outskirts of the vineyard Otherwise,
 he says, the so-called brotherhood of
 the Christian ministry is such only in name while in absolute practice it is a
 mere farce. Going into facts furnished by religious paper connected with his denOm1natlon, he SHOWS that one man
 may receive $400 a year, while another
 many enjoy $4,000, plus the many gifts and the bountiful marriage fees of the wealthy parish. He cannot find any thing in the teachings of Jesus that tells
 us that one man is worth ten men in the kingdom of heaven, and he appeals to his fellow preachers to bridge the
 now impossible gulf between the seven well-fed kine and the seven poorly fed and lean The critic is not of the $400- a-year class, and he is willing to practise | what he breaches, if he can persuade | others to join him in the work of even ing up. He is willing to pledge himself
 not to use more than $1, 900 per year for his living until every minister in the
 diocese is properly housed and fed.
 Gracious Peter! How this would up- set things. Doesn't the good man know
 that the laborer is worthy of his hire,
 that the man who gets big hire is all ways a bigger man than the man who gets small hire, and that it wont do to
 be too unselfsh? Addition to ministers | salaries all round might be good idea, 1 but such division as the Detroit man suggests is not to be thought of, and | probably wont be.

THE ARcHBIsHop,s CHECK.

Here is capital story about the Archbishop of Canterbury. He wished, some time ago, to make improvements in his palace at Lambeth, including the decoration of his reception hall. He asked an architect to submit to him designs for this work. This artist was one of the most distinguished in Lon don. He presented his plans, which were greatly admired Some time afterwards the Archbishop asked the architect what was due him for his de- signs "One hundred and twenty-five pounds, my lord,' was the answer. "One hundred and twenty-five pounds!" protested Dr. Temple. You certainly have not considered that many of my clergy do not get as much as that in year" Pardon me-" re- piled the architect, seriously, ''all my associates will tell you that in my profession I count as an Archbishop" Indeed" replied the Archbishop, "then one cannot pay you too much!" And he signed the check.-St. James Gazette

THE BEST P1NEAPPLEs IN CUBA

THE BEST .PINEAPPLES IN CUBA.
 Nowhere on the globe do pineapples thrive as in Eastern Cuba, where the
 conditions of soil and climate bring the golden apples of Hesperides" to
 absolute perfection; yet the pineapple industry has never had much attention in this section. Here is another chance
 of unoccupied land, extending far as one can see, may be bought for a few dollars and turned into a fruit farm, the virgin soil of unparalleled richness being capable of producing every trop- ical growth. Shipping facilities are already established at Baracoa and several small ports, and if the land touches the Yumuri or some other river, so much the better for it's owner.
 Until one has seen the golden glory of pineapple plantation, he can think of no more attractive sight than a sugar. cane field, glistening pale yellow under the torrid sun and billowing in the gen.
 tie breeze like a wind-swept sea. But even more fascinating is a field of pines, each great apple guarded by a circle of glittering, sharp-edged bay onets. In Florida the pineaple leaf is so sharply serrated that the thought of getting around among them suggests a have progressed further in Cuba, for in the older and more carefully culti- vated plantations, the saw teeth that

COLONEL BRYAN IND HIS DAM

COLONEL BRYAN AND HIS DAM.
 Colonel William Jennings Bryan is a man who knows how he feels, and he is also a man who can tell how he feels. He is suffering now. "If you knew" {" he says, what it costs me to keep still when there is so much to say about things of importance to the people you would appreciate the strength of my will" And when the reporter asked if he would talk when he got back to civil life he replied: You know how it is when dam breaks. There is no telling when the flood stops"
 There is and should be sympathy for Colonel Bryan. It is too bad, for him, that he isn't rending the air and shak- ing the earth with his tongue. But while sympathizing with him it is right CT that Colonel Bryan isn't talking. And if some way could be found to strengthen the dam and thus avoid the flood he speaks of it would be we'll. We have recovered from the other flood his broken dam let loose on us, and the prospect of another isn't pleasing. Col onel Bryan ought to dam himself more and not leave the work of dammine him so much to others.

picturesque figure out of a tall, slen- der girl, and perfect hogshead out of big woman Golf capes are still and probably alwayse will be counted desirable part of wardrobe. The scarlet lined military cape is very stunning and much affected by young CT girls. Cavalry yellow is equally mili- tary, and later in fashion and suits the dark girl especially well. Rain capes of waterproofed cloth are made in military cut. A very stunning ulster is so big and boxey and baggy that it seems to be a steal from brother s wardrobe, but it is the latest notion for travelling, and the perfect set about the neck and sleeves proves it a made-to- order affair.
 The newest dressing sacque, either in sets or not, are supplied with hoods. It is a clever idea, rig in line with the dainty notion of having wrapper, dressing sacque and morning dress all built high and close about the throat Women do not all look their best in the morning, and the soft background of filled loose hood restores the dainty curves that the morning cheek may lack. The hoods are very loose, lace edged and finished with rosettes of lace and ribbon at the sides, being rather fiat on top. Those who intend to make the most of these dainty ac- cessories puff their locks out at the sides, and look somewhat like Green away tots of seven. Secure in this cer- tainty, their smile becomes ingenious and dimples gather depth.
