PASTORS ON THEIR VACATIONS
SEVERAL OF THEM TAKING THEIR
SUMMER RECREATION.

Custom Has Arranged That Not All
BE Absent ut One Time-Where the
Absent Ones Are-Christ Church's
New Communion Altar In Place.
TO-dny's Services in the Churches.
Savannah pastors are in line with the
members of their congregations in taking
vacations Quite a number of pastors
have already taken their summer trips,
others are now away, while some few
have yet to go.
The pastors take their vacations at such
times as not TO interfere with worship in
the city, by having too many of them
away at one time. There is no under
standing about this, but it is always the
case Their notions differ as to the time
when a rest can be best enjoyed by them
and this conflict Of opinion happily keeps
all the ecclesiastical brethren from leav-
ing the city in a predicament of having
all the church doors closed.
Rev. DR. William Schaener pastor Of
the Evangelical Lutheran Church, spent
part of his vacation at Glenn Springs, s.
c., having returned during the week
From Glenn Springs he went to Brevard
and Sapphire, 5. c., and also on the Tex
away and Balsam mountains. He had a
most delightful time, was much invigorat-
ed, and is strengthened for another pros
porous years work
Rev. DR.. James Y. Fair Is now at Lin
coin, n. c., where ne Is enjoying him
self with near relatives From there DR..
Fair will go 10 Saratoga, where he will
spend several weeks. The church board
realized he was overtaXed, and desiring
that ne get the most benefit out of his So
Journ, extended the time beyond the us
ual allowance insisting that he take six
weeks for himself. The members of the In
dependent Presbyterian Church earnestly
hope DR.. Fair VIII receive much good while
away and return much improved.
ReV. Arthur j. Smith, pastor of the First
presbyterian Church. is also absent from
the city. He Is spending his vacation in
New York state, and Will moi return 10 Sa-
Vannah before October. AS a usual thing
DR.. Smith makes the best of his Trip. and
returns In happy, refreshed mood, cheer
ing all with whom he meets and showing
In his manner just what good a rest does
Rev. and Mrs. John ID. Jordan. accompa-
MED by Mrs. JOrdan's mother and SIS
ter, Mrs. A. n. Griffin and Miss Liz
zette Griffin Of Meridian, Miss Will leave
the first of the week for a six weeks trim
TO New York and Canada. While Mr.. Jor-
dan Is out Of the city his pulpit will be
supplied by Rev. w L. Richards of
Greeuville. S. c. Mr.. Richards comes high
ly reccommepded TO the deacons of The
church by such men as DR. Lansing Bur
rows and Dr. a. J. s. Thomas.
Rev Charles H. Strong, rector of St.
Johns Church, is North and Rev Robb
White, rector Of Christ Church is In Vir-
gnia. Both have been absent some time
There are a number Of others who have
been away Some went before the vacation
season set in so that when it came they
did not feel like taking another trip Oth-
ers are yet TO 80. A rest for the pastor is
rest for the congregation as the aver
age church gocrs. no matter how devoted
they may be- relish an iaterim during The
hot months.

it away in disgust. Then another-wlth the
same result Suddenly he notices The nice,
tempting one in the hole and plunges his
arm in-immediately the cord is pulled, The
moose fastened on the arm close to the
shoulder, and the monkey dragged willy
nil}y to the tree where the pulley, or ring
is attached. Then the hiding shikari comes
forth, and, circling round and round the
tree with the cord held tight in his hand,
binds the unfortunate monkey safe and fast
oil but the head. The pulley or ring is in
troduced not merely to bind the monkey
10 the tree, but also because it would be
highly dangerous to drag the Infatuated
brute right up 10 person.
The monkey, however is not killed. IN
stead they lather his head and face no
special care being taken in selecting the
finest soap or the purest water. The oper-
alton is an interesting one and a source Ot
great amusement-to the one and a. source
of great apusement-to the bystanders
The monkey, however, lodges his head
about only TO get a good dose of soap in
his eyes aud mouth. Then he has enough
of Ii, especially as he feels dreadfuly achy
all over, and the cords cutting into ms
body every inch--to say nothing OF me
personal remarks and the highly adjectiv-
oil language of the bystanders. He submits
10 his fate with Eastern stoicism. His
head is shaved clean as a billiard ball ana
the face as well, nice and smooth like a
baby's. Then they let him go. But alas!
such is the vanity of life! His wives VIII
not have him now that his beauty is gone!
They dsown him completely; cut him
dead. Nay, they drive him away from the
pack with contumely, with the end OF their
tails-!n the absence of domestic broom
sticks. And thus, being without ieader'
the pack IS soon broken up.

RATS THAT TRAVEL BY SEA.

From DC New York sun.

From The New York Sun.
Every ship that comes into port brings
lis quota of undesirable immgrants-not
the human kind that can be sent back
by the next vessel, but ferocious, intelh-
gent descendants of the army of rats which
the Pied Piper so deftly enticed from the
German town of Hamelin by his sweet
music When they land they become
wharf rats" sewer rats" and "house
rats" Fortunately for us the majority
stick to the ships, and remain forever
ship rats"
The average sailor welcomes the appear
ance of the rats on shipboard, and, rs a
general rule sailor would not ship on a
vessel destitute of rats. The presence OF
the rats on the boat is a sure indication
that the ship is seaworthy, and when the
rats begin to leave it in body the sailors
have no further use for the vessel either.
The intelligence of the ship rats in this
respect is not TO be disputed, and the
stories of their abandoning sinking ship
long before the skipper discovered the
danger are not founded upon supersutious
sailors yarns Similarly the mine rats
win forete,l the caving in of mine, and
! their exodus from certain mine in body
VIII always cause a stampede among the
miners who in their haste to leave the
! threatened place, VIII abandon tools, ma
chiuory and dinner pals.
] But the ship rats are far more interest
/ ing TO the average observer than the mine
rats. for they are q part of great world
movement that is as important in its way
as any shifting of the human population
| The commercial navies of the world have
given rats the opportunity to shift chen
population according 10 notions Of then

Mention was recently made OF the
death of Robert Taylor, postmaster at
scarva. County Down, Ireland who was
asserted to be over 1874 years old. He had
certainly been postmaster for seventy-sx
years, and last May the British postoffice
made inquiry on the subject. The resut
Is not yet published. Mr.. Taylor used 20
say he was born five years before Ma
poleon he went to Paris to see Bony and
found him a little fellow, such as he
could easily down-for Taylor, though Oh
small stature himself was d great wrest-
Ter. and it was his natural measure OF
other men. He was not an Irish patriot
but regarded the agitators as nu,sances.
He married in 1872, when he was lOS, lot
the first time, having courted his bride
for fifty years.
