treble the salaries paid by the temples.

American cities range from $500 to
$4,000, the latter sum being paid in

from May l. which is moving time for

having refused repeated invitations TO
London. on the ground that having
done no work she deserved no treat,
finally consented to pay a short visit
to the family Of her friend and pub
Usher. Mr.. George Smith.
Thackeray was at this time at the
height Of his popularity in London, and
Miss Bronte arrived in time to hear
his second lecture on the English hui
morists.
When 1t was over, Thackeray. who
had recognized the timid little woman
sitting by Mrs. Smith, came down
from the platform, and. shaking hands
with Miss Bronte, asked her how she
liked 1t. There are few persons who
would not have been flattered by such
an attention, but Miss Bronte, on the
contrary. was almost offended by it,
and when she introduces a similar in
cident in "Vilette" she comments on
the restlessness and the lack of de-
sirable self control on the part of the
lecturer.

The Par.on and the Rooster.

A good rooster story comes from
Somerset county correspondent. A GER
tain clergyman, whom we will call
Rev. Mr.. Little, gave one of bis parish
toner's a rooster. as a slight token of
esteem. In the family was a bright
4-year-old boy, and he always called
the booster Brother Little" One morn
ing the little fellow saw the rooster
coming toward the house, and he
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 to
rights about the room. This done, she
asked the boy, where Is Brother Lit
tleY
"Just 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 u
very short time appeared attired In an
other gown, but somewhat out Of
breath. Again she asked the boy II 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 sat
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 took
in the situatlon.-Bangor Wing and

pream. of ,ne Mnlnea.

4 M. de Manaceine, the Russian psychol
Dgist, mentions the case of n person
born without arms or feet who always
dreamed that he had been mutilated
Now, Il should be borne in mind, he
Bays, that the majority Of persons born
without arms or feet always dream
that they possess these extremities. 1t
lis evident, he maintains, that this diff
ference results, in the first instance,
4 from weak impressions heredltarlly
Transmitted, and in the second instance
frosA the strength and precision Of
these impressions. Persons whose
limbs have been amputated are subject
Ito curious deluslons while asleep. They
|never dream that they are walking on
'crutches; quite the contrary, they in
|variably dream that they are walking
with their feet, with this difference
|only-that as time passes their extrem-
titles appear to become shorter and
shorter.
Nj. de Manaceine mentions as a curl
|ous fact that this halluclnatiOn Is very
pronounced when the wound has healed
without complications; while on the
other hand there is no halluclnatlon
when the process Of cicatrization has
been painful. Moreover, we find the
reason of this difference in the greater
or lesser intensity of the sensations ex-
perlenced. Still, If the dreams Of alb
normally formed persons are charac-
terized by certain peculiarities, they
are none the less subjected. as are other
dreams, to the mysterious conditions OF
the human organism, and. like other
dreams, their repercussion on the
wakeful state is Identical.

The Voice In High AItitudes.

Generally speaking, races living at
high attitudes have weaker and more
highly pitched voices than those living
in regions where the supply of oxygen
is more plentiful. Thus, in this coun-
try, among the Indians living on the
plateaus between the ranges of the
Andes, at an elevation Of from 10000
to $4,000 feet, the men have voices like
the women and the women like the
children, and their singing is a shrill
monotone.
