small Salaries Of Country Ministers.

The Watchman, an influential organ
of the Baptist Church, has lately 1tf-
nished a symposium in which num-
Der of Baptist pastors gave reasons
why they desired to change their pas
torates. In one particular they all
agreed. namely, that it is very diff
cult to feed and clothe and properly
educate family Oh existing salaries
the average salary Of thTee-fourths Oh
the Baptist pastors in three New Eng
land States is reported to he only Sooo.
Perhaps the showing would be quite
similar in other denominations. IN
our own Church the average is Slightly
more.
Small salaries unsettle more minis
ters than any one other thing. En-
penses increase with the increase or
their families and the growth OF their
children, and it is but natural that they
should desire a chance of pastorates
for the Improvement of their finances.
Fifty years ago, though salaries We're
rs small as now, ministers We're much
better supported. MOI only was the
purchasing power Of a COLA; greater
and the demands on the purse fewer,
but congregations found pleasure in
sharing their good things and their
prosperity with the pastor and his
family. So many provisions found their
way to the dominie's larder. and so
abundant a supply of fuel to the wood
shed, and so much hay and oats to the
barn. that it was not altogether untrue
what was said of certai.. church by
retiring pastor: TIE salary may not
seem large, but it mcans so much
money and a living Anniversaries,
holidays and other occasions, besides
weddings and funerals. were marked
b gifts. All this has changed. The
minister is expected to provide every
thing out of q salary. which is not only
fixed. but small, and very often IL
regularly paid.-Christian Intelligencer.

Tie "Athletic Awakening."

Prior to 1880 not a single record for
events on standard athletic champion
ship programmes was held by an
American. They were all credited to
Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irishmen.
To-day, twenty-five years later, Amer
leans hold nearly all records. This is
one result Of the athletic awakening
the increased interest in outdoor
sports in the United States; but it is
by no means the most valuable. Better
health, sounder, stronger bodies. calmer
minds, less tendency to dyspepsia and
nervousness-these are worth more
than records; they seem in this case to
90 together-Ycut uth's Companion.

A KinCly EnlI-Fightcr.

The King of Portugal, among his
other accomplishments, is, or was. an
accomplished bull-fghter. Once, when
Duke of Braganza, he entered the ring
to face a bull with points UNDATED"
that is to say, with its horns not pad
ded, as is generally the case in Portu-
gal, as distinguished from Spain. One
of the ladies of the court had dared
the Duke to face bull with its horns
barred. and 50 he entered the arena in
the Spanish manner-incognito, though
every one knew who the bold bande-
rillo was.
Unfortunately the Duke slipped and
fell, but starting up before the bull
could charge again, he ran for the bar
ricade and cleared it at bound just
a moment or two before the nfurated
animal splintered the woodwork with
it's horns.
