Ministers, Salaries.

According to compilations made by the
csnsus bureau, the average annual salary
of minister OF the gospel is but $3.50 in
all the denominations figuring in the re-
port on the census OF religious bodies,
which is the first effort made in q United
States census to secure official statistics
concerning salaries paid to ministers.
The report, which will shortly be pub
lished, it is stated, is not entirely salts
account of the failure of some ministers
to report their salary and others to report
with sufficient clearness. OF the grand
total OF 1s6 denominations in continental
United States, the report states that If
teen have no regular ministry and sixty
returns which were not sufficiently COM
plete to warrant tabulation.
The denomination showing the highest
average Is the Unitarian, with 81 1853,
while the denominations next in order are
the Protestant Episcopal church, 1922
the Universalists, q ,23s; the general con-
vention OF the New Jerusalem in the
United States of America, 1923; the
Jewish congregations, si,222; the Pres
byterian church, s1,iT; the Reformed
church, s1,170; the United Presbyterian
church, of North America, q ,096; the Con-
gregationalists, s1,0i2; the Christian
Catholic church in Zion, q ,os7; and the

that IL the weather is not good we will

Many thanks to the three members OF

Catch of Tile Eish

Fishermen, old and young, stared in
amazement when the fishing smack A. c,
Newhaii, Capt. $. A. landry, from
Gloucester, unloaded at New Bedford,
Mass, last week,I 900 pounds OF tile fish
fish that all reliable authorities believed
TO have become extinct twenty or thirty
years ago.
Capt. Landry, OF the smack which
brought the fish In port, has not the lesst
definite idea OF what they are worth.
There are no market quotations for them.
The most surprising part of The whole
matter is the extraordinary abundance in
which the fish were found.
The NewhaIl can carry forty-fye or
more tons OF fish, but Capt. Landry says
he could have loaded up within week
or ten days. Tile fish are of the deep
water variety. The Newhall took them
in seventy five fsthoms OF water about 100
or $50 miles southeast OF New Bedford,
directly out to sea on the Georges
ground. The smack was out OF port on
this cruise only two weeks, and besides
the 900 pounds of tile fish, brought ID
six good sized swordfish.

Learning to Swim .

II you have to learn to swim alone,
choose, il possible, q place where the
water is shallow, but not too shallow
say up to your chest. This, that you
may be able to swim without your feet
touching bottom, yet have the feeling OF
security that an assured footing gives one.
II you can find an assistant, get used at
once to deep water.
In learning alone in shallow water allow
yourself to drop slowly from q standing
to swimming position and try to lie
comfortably with feet little below the
surface and mouth submerged. The
water line should come between the
mouth and the nose. The muscles should
be relaxed and no part Of the body rigid
or strained. There is no need to crane
the neck in order to keep the mouth
above water, it only tires without helping,
and it destroys the balance Of the body.
The arms will lift you while they apply
their power and you can then breathe
freely without raising the head at all.
Having assumed the proper position, 20
slowly through the movements until you
feel yourself sinking, then Just put down
your feet, stand up and try again. But
don't bury. Take only three or four
strokes ct first; take only one il you find
yourself unable to do more without sink
ing, but make that one Q correct and de-
iiberate one. You can afterward increase
one by one il you can do no better.
