 Apparently, the missionaries them selves, of whom America maintains 3,776 in Japan, China, Korea, the Phil ippines, Burma, Siam, India, Thibet, Persia, Turkey, Egypt and the South American countries, do not get rich out of this vast sum. According to the official figures, which I gathered be- fore leaving the United States, the missionary's salary ranges from noth- ing to $1 800 a year. The last-named figure is paid to veterans of the Bap- tist denomination, who are married and have families; the former repre- sents the salary promised to the mis- sionaries of the China Inland Mission, the Christian and Missionary Alliance, and few other undenominatiOnal bodies.

about $700 a year; it may be hun dred dollars more, or more likely, hundred dollars less, according to his denomination. A married man gen. erally from $1 ,000 to $1,200, with $100 extra for each child, if he belongs to one of four or five denomin tions An unmarried woman gets $500, $500 or even $700 year, with no prospect of increase. The missionary's stipend is based not on the idea of compensation but of simple support. A mere living is all that it is designed to afford the missionary. All who choose this call ing, say the boards must renounce hope of earthly gains.
 Every missionary contracts to stay seven years before receiving fur tough; then his expenses home will be paid, and he will receive One-half sal ary while off duty. He is forbidden to engage in outside money-making pursuits. As rule, if he writes book, it's royalties must be turned back into the treasury of his board. So it strikes one that, even consider ing the lower cost of living in the Orient, the financial inducements to a cultivated young person to become a missionary are rather meager. Wheth- CT this fact shuts out all but second class men and women remains to be found out.
 Sending That Penny to the Heather.
 Everybody has heard the charge that for every penny which gets to the mission field, go cents is required to send it. Business men, who believe in l business methods even in religious af | fairs are the most frequent critics of 1 the responsiveness of the conduct of l the missionary propaganda. I deter mined to look this matter up, with quite surprising results. Here are the official figures, in all their dryness, of 1 the cost of collection and administra- ton of foreign mission funds last year by leading denominations:

"Such an article" said H. P. Jud- son, the new head of the University of Chicago, in declining rather un- usul interview, would be not only futile but even in mild way harmful. It would be like the work of the care ful housekeeper There was an old general who had brought home from the war splendid fag-a flag all torn with bullets, faded with fierce suns and stained with the dust and blood of battle. This superb trophy hung over the mantel in his library. Well, one unlucky day he engaged a new housekeeper and the next week missed his flag. He rang at once. Where is that flag of miner he said, pointing anxiously to the empty space on the wall.

 It was stated that the document re- garding the payment of los. 6d year. ly to clergyman to preach a Good Friday sermon at Holt Chapel-of- was missing from the parish chest un- til some time ago. This deed was re- covered by the merest chance.
 A sister of the vestry clerk bought a drum at Thame fair for her chil- dren, the toy being marked Made in Germany Subsequently the drum was broken and an examination of the parchment showed it to be the original title deed setting forth the conditions governing the payment for the Good Friday sermon.

SWcde Returned According to lnstrIc

Christ Nelson, having been in this country only few weeks, was slow in learning American customs, and espe- cially the inscriptions on envelopes. One of his first acts after landing in Oregon was to take out naturalization papers On the corner of the envelope, in which were contained the docu- ments that made him an American citizen, were the words: Return in five days
 Wal, I be har," he said yesterday, as he shuffled up to the counter in the county clerks office and spoke to Dep uty Prasp.
 What do you want?' asked that of- fcfal, carefully noting the embarrassed flush on the Swedes face.
 Wal, it say on this har envelope return in five days and time be up to-day, so I ban come round.
 When assured that nobody wanted him, he turned with surprise and walked sadly away, not certain whether he was naturalized or not Portland Oregonian.

Sultan's Rauoed Soldiers.

The sultan's army suggests a regu- lar country circus. Every Friday one may see a sample of these monkey like soldiers at the parade of the Se- lamlik, which takes place on the Kas- ba square at II a. m. A battalion marches past in double column and salutes the governor, who goes from his palace to the mosque.
 All these soldiers are poorly equipped. Their uniforms have lost their color and their trousers are too short, showing their legs, which shine as if they had been covered with shoe polish. However, it would be a mis- take to think that this gang of ragged ruffians could not stand a fight. Fanat- icism will make heroes of them. for their contempt of death is absolute.

WORK AND THOUGHT
GOOD THlNd TO TEACH BOY USE
 C. HIS HEAD.
Writers toSas That Are Worthy of Serious Consideration-let Young ster Indulge in His Dreams
 Once in a While.

l know man, a father of five cnil- them up, writes Robert Carlton Brown. Not one minute of the day are they idle. If this father should happen to find one of them unem ployed he would immediately expand his chest and give long lecture on the pernicious habit of idleness. It is a strenuous household, indeed; no member of it is allowed one moment to himself-it is all do, do do. Now, I don't know how this mans theory will work out, but l do know at pres ent that his children are about as prosaic and dull as any in the neigh borhood.
 Let the boy dream. Let him alone. Point out the usefulness of work to him, but show him rather the use of his head than the use of his hands. There are more hands in this world than heads, and usually hand-labor does not come so high as the other sort.
 As man thinks, so is he. If a man does not think at all-draw your own conclusions l teach my boy to think -I want him to get the thought habit. In whatever he does there must be somewhat of originality. l would not care a jot low we'll he could copy a picture at the age of ten years, but if he made an original little sketch, which showed an idea, no matter how crudely it was done, 1 would have some hopes of him.
 If you will think back to the days when you went to school you probably will remember your dreams before your sums. In order to put the system of sums to work a man must first have his dreams, his thoughts. By schooling child to work for works own sake you may make a business man out of him, but you can't make a real man that way. 4 real man makes himself. If he has the guidance of thoughtful parent, so much the better for him; but, remember at all times, you cant make your boy what you want him to be. You can help-but that's all.
 Don't make the boy dependent on you for thought. Teach him to think. Give him time to himself in which to think it all out, and the chances are he will develop into something. Let the boy dream. Don't worry if he shows a disinclination to saw wood and pile. it up in the cellar at ten ote h doesn't care for this is because he is thinking up ways to make other peo- pie saw wood. And they say that is the better plan.
 l remember a boy back home who had that faculty of making others saw wood He worked on the younger fel- lows in such way that they consid- cred it a great privilege to be allowed to do his chores for him. Whenever his father caught him directing others in their task of joy he thrashed him, as dutiful parents did ill those days. But this boy could not be downed so easily. He made a man of himself in spite of his father Now he has about 100 men saving mental wood for him, while he sits in the mahog- any-furnished office two or three hours a day.
 Let the boy dream. Give him chance to think; guide him if you will, but don't drive him. That worn-out proyerb, You can lead a horse to wa ter, but you can't make him drink" could he remodeled into a useful a boy to work, but you cant make him think"

For the last IS months the czar has been virtually a prisoner in one of his own palaces and in the intervals of state work he has solaced himself with composing music and writing verse His poetry is melodious and carefully polished and his music is melancholy and inspired by spirit of fatalism. Some three years ago some of the czar's poems were published under the pseudonym of Olaf, with music by his cousin, the Grand Duke DAssia, but he has himself set some of his verses to music with consider able amount of taste and real knowl- edge of harmony.
