In an article IN the rW0f1d's Work

tions What deters men from entering
the ministerial profession?" Mr..
TomlinsOn gives the result OF his cor
respondence.
twenty successful ministers, con-
densed and classified are as follows:
l. The lack Of freedom. The min
lister is looked upon too much as one
who is hired or employed. If he de-
Tiates from the theological position
he assumed when in his iRexperie1ce
and immaturity he declared his views,
then he is certain to feel the force OF
the opposition often shutting him out
even from opportunities OF labor and
service He is looked upon not as the
minister Of the church He is ex-
pected to be a defender Of the faith
rather than a teacher or a student.
2. The short and shortening period
Of service. The reasonable certainty
that after he is 40 years Of age his
services viii be less in demand and
the dead-line Of so no imaginary
bogie.
3. The difficulty Of maintaining a
home on the meager salaries given.
That a eleTgyman's salary usually
was a little less than what was ex-
pected Of him.
4. The continual shifting of his
home and field.
s. His subjection to the pettiness
Of the attacks and demands Of petty
people.
6. The present beneficiary sys-
tem," which degraded the entire
body.
These twenty men, every one OF
whom is a successful pastor, were
asked II they had their lives to live
over again if they would select the
work they were now doing. Seven.
replied Yes" enthusiastically, three
were somewhat undecided, nine re-
piled mo" positively and one de-
elared that If he could avoid being
ordained" he would be only too glad,
to take up the work. And every man.
Of the twenty declared that preach
ing" in itself was the highest pleas
ure Of his life.

Rut &c Disbursement.

DR.. Wallace Wood, Of the Univer-
sity Of New York, was talking about
the love Of beauty.
The love OF beauty" he said, ''is
not so firmly planted in the peoples
minds as it should be. Things only
that are useful are considered valu-
able; beautiful things too often are
regarded as unimpOrtant-
This popular idea Of the usefuPs
unspeakable superiority over the
merely beautiful may be illustrated by
a happening IN q barber shop.
"A barber, in cutting a young mans
hair, shipped on a piece Of his ear.
The young man leaped from the
chair. He cried in anguish and
horror:
-'Oh. you have cut piece Of my
ear on.
but the barber answered in a pat
ronizing, soothing way, as one speaks
to a child:

Harrisburg has a new feather in its

might be more appropriate, for this
new mark Of particular distinction is
a pure albinO crow, the only one in the

to State ZOologist Surface.
This crow was received one aft

be the most interesting object which
has ever been exhibited before the

pulse was to send it to the Geological
gardens at Philadelphia, but it was
later decided to retain it at the Divi-
sion Of Zoology.
The albinO was sent to the division
from Cumberland county by B. F. Nc
Keehan, on whose property at Mt
Rock il was shot by a neighbor. The
wound was under the wing, and, while
sufficient to disable the crow, it is
healing nicely, and the bird will live.
Prof. Surface pronOunces the latest
find a complete albino. Its feathers
are pure white. The beak is q light
pink and the feet are grayish, tinged
with pink The irises Of the eyes are
a brilliant jet black instead Of the
pink common TO many albinOs, but

SELECTION a WISE ONE.
Scottish Lady Was Guided Alright in
Her Choice Of Husband.

Her Choice Of Husband.
Many a marriage suggests to an II
reverent curiosity the question, Did
the woman propose it?" But one sci
dom finds actual historic proof that
she did. A recent delightful book on
Scotland has an interesting and ap-
psrently authentic story Of a case
where the woman not only took the
initiative, but took it in a high-handed
fashion.
The young countess of Carrick was
left a widow by the death Of her hus-
band while on one Of the crusades.
The king became her guardian, and
she had good reason to fear that he
would force upon her a marriage Of
policy. She was a famous hOrsewom-
an, and often rode for a day through
her own forest, attended only by a
small mounted guard. One day she
encountered a young man to whom
she was at once attracted. She asked
him to return with her to her castle,
but he had some gallant adventure al
ready in hand, and ungraciOUsly de-
eIined the invitation.
At a word from her, her men-at-
arms made him a prisoner, and bore
him OF TO Turnberry castle.
Two weeks Imprisonment brought
him to q proper sense Of the charms
Of his fair hostess, and knight and
lady were welded, with the reluctant
consent Of the king
The son of this romantic marriage
was Robert Bruce. whose splendid pa
triOtism and brave deeds are well TT
ted to justify his mothers courageous
audacity-YOuth' Companion.

Willow Culture in New York State.
One Of the crops that has for some
time been attracting attention to Ly-
ons and Galen is that Of the basket
willow, which has grown to consider
able dimensions in these two towns.
The crop has just been marketed and
Clyde and Lyons have the distinction
OF being two Of the most important
shipping points for this commodity.
In the two towns named it is esti-
mated that there are nearly three hun
dred acres devoted to the culture Of
these willows An average yield this
year was six tons to the acre, and an
average price Of about ST per ton was
received for the crop that has been
sold. Syracuse is the market to which
all Of the willows grown in this Vi
cinfty find their way. When the viii
lows are stripped Of their bark and
otherwise prepared for manufacturing
purposes they are worth about s125
per ton
It is said that the first willows
grown in this part Of the country were
planted by John A. Blackburn in 1852.
Mr.. Blackburn came from the South
and gained some knowledge Of willow
culture near his former home in Mary
land.-Clyde Times.
