Some clergymen receive $500 year
for their services, when the church is a
large one situated in growing city
Those in the smaller towns have yearly
salaries ranging from $500 TO $12O0-
salaries which they are not always
able to collect. In a group Of 200
churches. including a fair average OF
city, small city and country parishes
in and about New York City. the aver
age salary is $725. says Leslie's Month.
~ Such condition is not attractive
to young, coilege-bred man who.
though ungel1shly earnest for the
church, is human, with ambitions for
the comfortable home that his abilities
ought to earn. The result is the re-
peated statement that the inferior men
are going into the ministry, that iii a
man can't do anything else he either
teaches or breaches, and that il he
can't teach, he breaches And yet it
is doubtful if there is a field for prac-
teal achievement in America as large
as that offered by the ministry.

! An interesting discussion has been
going on in Utah to determine the cf-
feet Of the smoke from shelters upon
crops, as many of the farmers near
Salt Lake City claim tsat they have
suffered damage BY the injurious
fumes given OFF from such establish
ments. Inasmuch as the annual value
of agricultural products in Utah
amounts to $170oO,00o, while the me-
tallic output is practically twice as
much, it is OF Importance that condi-
tons should be regulated SO that
neither industry is injured. either by
direct effects or by restrictive legisla-
tion. It was found that farms lying in
the direction Of the prevailing winds
were the most damaged, but that in
no case was it sufficient to cause to-
tai loss Of the crop, states Harpers
Weekly.

Of honey along the cornice and roof
OF the Van Ness cottage, ON bloomfield
avenue, which he has occupied for
some time. Members of Mr.. Doremus's
family had noticed bees lowering about
the roof of the house, and a few days

The honey was found to be Of good

with words of real wisdom. He said

Il deem it a great privilege, as
well as a great honor to have been
invited by your worthy principal, to
be present and participate with you
in these dedicatory and memorial
ceremonies. Looking back to the days
Of my youth, and recalling the scenes
and incidents Immediately preceding
the great struggle that was followed
by your, by my emancipatiOn,-for
though of northern birth, and rearing,

ditions and environments that were
the logical outcome of the enslavement
of my race. 1t seems more like a
dream than a reality to have seen and
witnessed what 1 have seen and wit

ers of the race, could he be present.
