A thrifty woman of Augusta began
experimenting some time ago to learn
what effect the Georgia climate would
have upon imported sikworms. A
room in her house was given up to
their use and mulberry leaves In

in numbers and to escape to other
parts of the house. whatever spot they
CHANGED upon became sacred to them.

a silkworm in it's pursuit of happiness,
no matter where it might have estab-

impressed upon the servants.

Small Salaries of Country Ministers.

The Watchman, an influential organ
of the Baptist Church, has lately fur
nishcd a symposium in which num-
Der of Baptist pastors gave reasons
why they desired to change their pas
toratcs. In one particular they all
agreed, namely. that it is very dill
cult to feed and clothc and properly
educate a family on existing salaries
the average salary of three-fourths OF
the Baptist pastors in three New Eng
land States is reported to be only 5000.
Perhaps the showing would be quite
similar in other denominations. III
our own Church the average is slightly
more.
Small salaries unsettle more minis
ters than any one other thing. IN
Dcnses increase with the increase OF
their families and the growth OF their
Children. and it is but natural that they
should desire chance of pastorates
for the Improvement of their finances.
Fifty years ago, though salaries We're
as small as now, ministers were much
better supported. NoS only was the
purchasing power of collar 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 supply Of fuel to the wood
shed, and so much hay and oats to the
barn, that 1t was not altogether untrue
what was said of certai.. church by
retiring pastor: "The salary may not
seem large, but it means 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 a salary which is not only
fixed, but small, and very often ir-
regularly paid.-Chrlstlan Intelligencer.

H. Addington Bruce describes the
attempt of an English clergyman
named Clarence Godfrey to project
himself" into the presence of friend
at a distance. The attempt was made
on the night of Nov. Is, 1885.
The result of his attempt, as de-
scribed in the account written out at
his request by the "percipicnt," who
1t should perhaps be added, had had
no intimation of the experiment, was
as follows: "Yesterday-viz. the
morning of Nov. 16, 1SS6-about half
past o'clock woke up with start
and an idea that someone had come
into the room. l heard curious
sound, but fancied it might be the

to leave the room and go downstairs.
This feeling became so overpowering
that at last arose and lit candle
and went down, thinking that If could
get some soda water it might have
a quieting effect.

Tho Talent That MultIplies.

you also second time in being n

that is used that multiplies.

makes one full and proud and selfish.

who require your service. Seek to be

Emperor was to watch the passing regiments
While Jeanette was seated on the stand she saw

self:

Then she gave up her seat to the old woman. and
went and stood in the crowd. But while Jeanette
was standing upon her tiptoes trying in vain to see
a courier Of the Emperor covered with gold lace,
elbowed his way to her side, and said:
Little girl, His Majesty would be glad to see
you in the royal box"
When the agashed child stood before the En-
press, she graclousiy sand: Come here, my daugb-

Dawn's blush in the East serene :
The Celebrant, robed in his vestments
Proceeds with the Sacrifice clean.
He has read the Epistle and Gospel,
He has offered the Bread and Wine:
He has called on the faithful assembled
In suppliant prayer TO combine;
And their thanks in the jubilant Preface
He has voiced to the Father Divine.
The sound of hallowed whisper
Floats presently over the Bread
And trembles around the chalice,
Where the Priest bows down his head
When 10! He is yelled on the Altar,
Who on Calvary for us bled

And absorbs, next, the liquid, red semblance
Meath which Blood Divine intercedes!
