At a meeting of the Universalist
ministers in Boston one Of the breih-
ren opened his heart on the subject of
minister's salaries. He felt deeply
that they were too low, and thought
ministers were paid only about half ns
much as lawyers and doctors Of equal
ability. He thought Tor one thing.
that a minister should be paid for en-
ciating at funerals. where the family
is In a position to give fees and are
not attendants at his church. That
point. at least seems TO be well taken.
No reason suggests itself why. under
circumstances as stated. a funreai Zee
should not be willingly paid and ac-
cepted with resignation. The ques-
ton Of funeral fees often comes I'D.
because cases IN which they seem due
are not uncommon. but they are rarely
paid. and are omitted IN most Instances
because the bereaved family does nos
feel at liberty to oaer one.-E s. Mar

Oysters have for centuries been much
esteemed by medical men as being
very nutritious and easy Of digestion,
but both these properties are much
diminished when not taken in their
raw state. It may not be generally
known that the fluid which surrounds
the oyster bears a closer analogy to
the gastric secretion than anything
else in nature. In addition to the soly-
ent properties Of this fluid it is not
without its nutrltive properties We
have Of late devoted considerable at
tention both to the substance and Sc
cretion therefrom. and ind that In a
given weight Of the latter and the
same Of the oyster the fluids yields
only forty per cent. less Of animal
gluten or jelly than 'he fish. Conse-
quently all persons who are accus-
toned to eat oysters should be ever
mindful that as little as possible Of
the juice should be lost. When oysters
are eaten. stewed OF scalloped. the
two properties. as before stated. are
much diminished, consequently they
ought never to be taken by invalids
except In their raw state.-Sanitary
