The Parson and the Rooster.

A good rooster story comes from 8
Somerset county correspondent. A Ger
tain clergyman, whom we will cal
Rev. Mr.. Little, gave one Of his parish
toner's a rooster, as slight token OF
esteem. In the family was bright
4-year-old boy, and he always called
the rooster Brother Little" One morn
ing the little fellow saw the rooster
coming toward the house, and be
shouted, Grandma, here comes Broth
er Little"
Grandma never stopped to look out
or make any inquiries, but started
quickly to pick up and set things tt
rights about the room. This done, she
asked the boy, "Where is Brother Lit
tleY
Gust gone into the stable" replied
the boy.
Grandma thought she might have
time to change her dress and quickly
lodged into another room and in 6
very short time appeared attired in an
other gown, but somewhat out Of
breath. Again she asked the boy IL he
had seen Brother Little.
"Yes," said the innocent child; "there
he goes back to the barn with the rest
of the hens"
Grandma did not say a word, but sal
down for a few minutes to rest, and
later she seemed to enjoy the joke
with her grandson, who looked on won
deringly as though he only partly tool
in the situation.-Bangor Wing and

One important point in the irrigation
Of blackberries established by the ex-
periments of Professor Jordan at the
New Jersey station is that the effect Of
irrigation is not confined to the year in
which the water is applied. The pres
ence Of sufficient moisture to provide
for the growth and development of
plant and fruit seems to favor
growth of cane thoroughly matured
and fitted for the succeeding seasons
work. The dry season Of 1898 occurred
during the ripening period, and great
clusters Of nearly developed fruit dried
up completely where not irrigated.
Nothing Of the kind occurred when wa
ter was given. The dry period of 1899
occurred very early in the development
Of the fruit and was not long enough in
duration to materially affect the crop,
yet the results were again very mark
edly in favor Of irrigation.

Ruax Choir soIoiata

Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches have the credit Of providing
the finest and most elaborate music,
but the finest music in New York is
heard in the Jewish synagogues. 1t
is chiefly sung, however, by the best
singers Of the Christian churches, who
thriftily double up" and draw two
salaries, a good arrangement for both
temples and churches, albeit the
churches pay double and sometimes
treble the salaries paid by the temples.
The salaries of soloists in the larger
American cities range from $500 to
$500, the latter sum being paid in a
single instance. All engagements date
from May /, which is moving time for
church singers as well as house NOV
ers. Their church salaries form the
basis Of the soloists' incomes, but
many fees are earned as a result of
church work. Weddings and funerals
yield quite number, and private re-
citals at the home entertainments of
millionaire church members are
weighted with the golden fruit There
are also whole orchards Of concerts
and oratorios for those capable of
shaking the trees.-Success.
