practically be closed against the en-
trance of water. OF course, there are
many insects which live in the water,
and these breathe differently-rather
more as fishes do, but with this differ
ence, that the blood of fishes flows
through the gills, whereas with water
insects the air circulates through the
gills and is purified by the entrance
of oxygen from the water through the
delicate membrane of the gills."
An Alpine Custom.
In some of the Alpine districts of
Piedmont and Savoy, in which the en-
tire population consists OF shepherds
dwelling in scattered habitations, a
beautiful and reverent custom still
prevails. AS the shades of evenings
are closing in on the valley. and only
the crests of the mountain ridges re-
main lighted by the last rays of the
departing sun, the shepherd whose
dwelling Is situated highest on the
mountainside takes his Alpine horn
and, using il as a speaking trumpet
cries to the valley below, Praise God
the Lord" Each of the neighboring
shepherds takes up the cry in turn
as it reaches him, and thus for the
space OF about il quarter OF an hour
the quiet Alpine glen echoes from side
to side with the solemn cry of Praise
the Lord until the reiterated cali
dies away in the far distance.-Boys'

DIR. George Adam Smith was look
ing at a sheepfold on a hill in Pales-
tine. And as he was talking to the
shepherd, he noticed the hole In the
wall around the fold through which
the sheep went. He looked about for
the piece of wood that would be used
for the door. Seeing none, he turned
to the shepherd and said, Where is
the door," oh" replied the shep-
herd. Il am the door" {John I: 81.

Maryland, and the Middle west. The
Wesleyan Methodist Connection min
listers receive only S311 year. These
congregations are in Vermont, New
York, Pennsylvania, and in most of
the States of the Yves and South
west
Free Methodist Churches pay their
ministers only 1870 a year, and their
congregations are scattered over New
England, the Middle States, the West
and the South. When congregations
are in the cities their salaries run up
to $3.50 and 5000, but in the average
outside of all principal ties the sal
airy is only $34S.
The white Baptists of the South
pay their ministers very low salaries,
the average being only 1857, with a
low water mark of 1884 outside Of the
principal cities. In the larg South
ern cities ministers receive IS much
as $1,700, but these are very excep-
! tional. Free Baptists pay on the av-
erage only S462, and their congrega-
tons are in New England, and in the
West and Southwest.

POULTRY

The abundance of the feed supply,
sfrording as cheap feed as can be had
anywhere, is a great inducement for
the establishment of large poultry
plants. There are several natural
advantages possessed in equal degree
by few sections of the country. We
are neither too far north or too far
south; neither too high or too low
where pultry can live in the open
shed practically the entire year,
which means economy in the con-
struction of houses, economy in feed
and the ability to get strong fertile
egg and hardness in stock; due to the
fact that they are able to get upon the
ground so early and continuously.
This industry has not been worked
as it should have been and the supply
for the home market is not nearly sup
piled at this time. The nearby cities
of New Orleans and Mobile being
large consumers of poultry products
the business can be worked up on a
large scale and made TO pay handsome
returns upon the investment at once
This is a great chance and you will
be the loser if you let the opportunity
slip by.
Now is the accepted time.

If one were asked what ministers
in America receive the lowest salaries
he would probably hazard a guess that
they were the ministers of Baptist OF
Methodist colored congregations in
the Southland be wrong. The aver
age of all Christian ministers in Amer
lea is 1868 a year, and the minister
who, giving their time to the work
not earning money for labor outside
OF the ministry, who receive least pei
year are not Southern ministers at
all, nor are they the colored preach,
ers. They are white ministers, and
they labor, some of them, in the North
and West.
In continental United States the
two classes of ministers who receive
the lowest annual salaries are the
Congregational Methodist. who aver
age but $111, and the separate Bap-
fist, who get little more per year
but not much, viz: 1921. Congrega.
tional Methodists had their rise in
Georgia fifty odd years ago. but they
have extended until ministers of their
body are laboring in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. in Missouri, Tennessee
Texas, and seven other States. They
hold Methodist doctrines, but did not
like Methodist policy. and so adopted
the Congregational one. Hence the
name. There are S24 ministers, serv
ing about $4,000 members, and they
earn, all of them together, the large
total of $35,964 year.
Separate Baptists we're once Eng
fish, but they came to New England
hundred and fifty years ago, and
later found their way to the West
and Southwest. There are only about
5000 of them, with 100 ministers
Their congregations are in Indiana
and Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee
Their average salary being only $121
year, the whole 100 ministers re
ceive but $4,000.
The salaries of ministers of all
names and grades range from S1,22s

The present law has been attacked
along the same lines.
OF even greater interest is the case
involving the contempt proceedings
against the officials of the American
Federation of Labor. Samuel Conn.

in Jail; John Mitchell, formerly presi.

junction to cease interfering with the
business of the Bucks Stove & Range
Company, Of St. Louis, which had
brought suit against them to prevent
them from boycotting it. All the
points in the controversy are to be
laid before the court for final decision.
The Missouri two-cent passenger
rate law and the maximum freight rate
law of that state have been set for
argument after the contempt cases.
The constitutionality of these laws is
attacked. Owing to the veto by Gov
ernor Hughes of the New York two
cent fare bill, his attitude as a men,
Der of the court toward the Missouri
cases will. be watched with interest.
The court was to have given a Sec
ond hearing at the beginning of the
term to the Baltimore and Ohio South
western Railroad cases, involving the
question as to what should be the unit
Tor the assessment of penalties for
violations of the twenty-eight hour
law, governing the shipment of live
stock. Last year the court stood four
in favor of holding the train-load to
be the unit and four in favor of max
ing the unit the separate shipments.
In view of the tie vote, it is now believ-
ed the case will await the filling of the
vacancies.
A case involving the constitutional
ty of the California law of 1906, pro-
viding for the quieting of title to real
estate in case of the loss or destruc-
ton of public records, as by earth
quake; will be heard according to pres
ent arrangements early in the term.
A long list of prosecutions under fec
eral laws were also put at the head of
the calendar for the coming term.
Among these are the appeal of the
government from the action of the
New York federal courts in setting
aside the Indictment against F. Angus
tus Heinze on charges of intent to de-
fraud the Mercantile National Bank of
New York City, of which he was Pres
ident; the appeal OF the government
from similar treatment of the indict-
ment against George Kissel. a New

of Philadelphia, on charges of having
conspired with the American Sugar
Company to restrain interstate com
merce in violation of the Sherman an
thrust act by preventing the Pennsyl-
vania Sugar Refining Company from
doing business; and several cases in
volving prosecutions under the pure
food and drug act.
