PRETORIA, South African Republic (By
Cable).-President Kruger, addressing a
number of burghers who were about &c

themselves, but the Almighty, who direct

A MODEL PASTOR IN OHIO.
Draws His Salary But Erponds 1t and
More on His Congregation.

1t Is unusual to ind an oil Spectator in
the pulpit. 1t is equally unusual to find a
pastor who returns to his congregation
each year his entire salary and adds to the
gift a slice of his private income besides.
Andoycr, Ashtabula County, Ohio, has such
IL preacher In the Rev. E. 4. Coyle, who is
also a n orator, poet and diplomat, Under
his charge the attendance at the evening
services In the Andover Congregational
Church has increased from some twenty
Ave te an audience ranging from 800 to 400,
and the average service is attended by one
third OF the population OF Andoyer.
Mr.. Coyle prefers the rural town to the
crowded city, and therefore went to the
church at Andoyer, which can only AFFORD
to pay 300 per annum He believes In the
principle that the laborer is worthy OF his
hire and does not refuse to receive his sal
AIRY, but expends it upon the church and
congregation, and other denomination
than his own share in his lliberality.
Several years ago he became interested
in oil sp%eculations in West Virginia, which
brought him la-ge returns and his business
Is large.

Drink and Heredity.

In opening a discussion the other day at
the Society for the Study of InebrletY, Pro-
lessor Sims Woodhead drew attention to
the bearing OF modern theories regarding
heredlty upon the drink question. The two
hypothesis which he especially set himself
20 controvert were, first, that the taste for
drink is transmitted from father to son-in
other words, that children are born with
such an Innate tendency to drink that they
are hardly to be held accountable when in
later years they become ~drunkards; second,
that u drinking nation gradually develops
q sort OF immunity to drink, so that, bad
as may be the effects OF alcohol on the
present generation, the drunkenness OF to-
day does but lead to the temperance of to-
morrow. and to the gradual development
OF a race which will not only be immune to
the effects OF alcohol, but Indifferent to its
charms.
We do not say how far the views of Pro-
fessor Sims Woodhead will meet with gen
eral acceptance. So far as concerns the
impracticability, nay, the undeslrabillty,
OF driving away the taste for alcohol by In
urlng the tissues to Its effects, we are en-
tirely at one with him; but when 1t becomes
a matter Of measuring upthe responsibillt,
of the individual there seems but little tC
choose, so far as the patient" Is concerned
between an Inherited taste for alcohol ant
au inherited weakness which makes 1t dit
