pENsloNs EoR cLEReYMEN.

All over the country, and especial
ly in the West, an effort is being
made to better the condition Of cler-
gymen by increasing their salaries
and providing annuities for their old
age. Some denominations now make
more or less provision for old age
pensions, although in no case Is the
sum adequate. Some clergymen have
taken out insurance policies by
which they get something in their
advanced years, but the unpleasant
fact is that there are very few clergy
men in this country who receive an
adequate salary or have more than
the slightest provision for their old
age.
Recent advances In the cost OF liy-
ing have borne heavily upon the
clergy, asserts the Philadelphia Bull
letin. They are compelled to make
good appearance and to live in
better style than others having the
same income. Much Is expected OF
every clergyman, and he is seldom
paid as much as members of the
other professions. A few supplement
their income by outside work, but
such avocations are limited because
of popular prejudice. 1t certainly Is
discouraging that some of the best,
and most cultured, Of these men do
not earn on the average more than
a first class mechanic. 1t Is unjust,
too, that they are often criticised
for not doing what there Is no pos
sibility of accomplishing on their
small salaries, which sometimes is
depleted by personal charities.
One result is that the theological
seminaries are having a decreased
attendance. Another, which Is per.
haps more serious, is the number Of
men, who are leaving the ministry
in order to make living. This is
not credltable to the Christian
church, and it seems to be- due to
lack OF organization rather than to
anything else. So long as it is every
bodys business to do something, no
one does it. When a definite and
systematic plan is devised the pay
ing the clergy and caring for their
old age, it is likely that 1t will re-
ceve popular support. The practi-
cal men of affairs among church
members need to give more attention
than they do to this question.

AN EXAcTING CALLING.

Probably no vocation is more ex-
acting than that of clergyman in a
rural neighborhood Take by way Of
illustration recent experience of
the Rev. w. b. MERCER, of Athens,
Ga. In the forenoon of one day he
christened two children of member
Of his congregation, made calls upon
three other members who were con-
fined to their homes by illness and
then went to his church to preach a
funeral sermon. Just as he finished
that melancholy duty he was called
to marry a young couple at a point
two miles distant He hurried to
the appointed place, performed the
marriage ceremony and then overlook
the funeral procession from the
church before 1t reached the ceme-
terry. In the late afternoon he pre-
pared his sermon for the following
Sunday and held prayer meeting in
the evening.

NEW zEALANp's PROSPERITY.

Tip is no Socialist, because he
knows a man will do more work and
better work for himself, his wife and
BARNS than for some Tom, Dick and
Harry whom he doesn't know; for
the matter Of that, II will be the
same IL he does know them. But Tip,
as he says in the New York Press,
isn't afraid of facts. New Zealand's
wave of socialism has been de-
nounced over and over again as
sure breeder of immediate wreck and
ruin in that country. But New Zea-
land is thriving nightly, and the
people are prosperous and happy.
For the March 81 quarter exports in
creased nearly nine millions. On in.
ternational trade New Zealand had a
balance in her favor for the quarter
of twenty-four millions. That's some
going for a small population and un-
developed country. Tips guess is
that the natural resources of New
Zealand are so great that before
they are drained it is easy to make
money under any circumstances.
Time was when any thick skull could
go West and make money at any
thing. Not now.

a BEEF CUSTOMER.

The Argentine Republic, says the
Prague Presse, has found a customer
for its beef on this side of the ocean
The Austrian government, which was
asked to take ten thousand tons, has
ordered sample lot Of seven hun
dred tons to be delivered in Decem-
ber. The great American beef com.
panies did not show any activity in
the direction of securing an order
from Austria, because of the duty
difficulties, preferring to employ
their beef ships in transporting their
products to England, where the GUS
toms regulations made it easy to do
business.

its present popularity more to fash

is the gain for common sense in

The KISS IN CURRENT ART.


There are few subjects of more
Importance Just now to the citizens
Of this great republic than kissing.
This conclusion requires no labored
justification, for II other proof were
not available the amount OF space
devoted to osculation in the public
prints would suffice. In further con-
firmation 1t may be noted that fully
so per cent. of the popular picture
post cards deal with some phase OF
the kissing problem.
This fact, called to our attention,
Announces the New York Globe, by a
hypercritical correspondent, is GER
tainly striking. She writes:
ut may be old-fashioned to resent
the vulgar and brazen way In which
the most sacred things in life are
now cheapened and brutalzed in the
lower class newspapers. The shall
low mawkishness of the writer's Is so
Extensively apparent and their liter
ary gifts so negligible that the publ

standing mystery. The picture post
card craze is even worse. The hor-
rible kissing pictures which now
form half the stock Of these peddlers
render their carts painful and dis
gusting spectacles to a sensitive
woman"
This writer is so genuinely
wrought up" over the things she
criticizes, so deeply offended by
what she elsewhere characterizes as
the "vulgarity of the age" that she
deserves a more respectful reply
than a mere ironical laugh at her
characterization And this Is truer
because there are, in all probability
other superior" persons ESQ they
think themselves) in a similarly be-
nighted state of mind.
AS matter of fact Miss - is
quite wrong; there has been no gen'
eral loss of refinement. In the days
when the scullery maid was in a diff
ferent social class from her mistress,
the amorous doings in the kitchen
the so-ealled "smacks" and huggings
were, perhaps with reason, consid-
cred vulgar by the folks upstairs, at
least when they appeared in current
literature.

AN ACCOMPANYING EVIL.

Apparently every new invention
brings with it some evil The British
Medical Journal points out that
among distinctively modern diseases
are the poisoning produced by the
fumes of calcium carbide of acety-
lene; the headache, dyspepsia, car
diac failure and sensory disturbances
traceable to the manufacture and use
of aniline dyes; the frothing of the
blood, known as caisson disease,
which follows too rapid decompres-
sion in workers at the foundations
Of bridges; the functional neurosis
known as telegraphers' cramp, result
ing from the use of the Morse key,
and the numerous affections of the
skin, lungs, digestive tract and eyes
due to irritation by organic or inor-
ganic dusts of industrial origin.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by LOCAL applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an lnfamed con
dition of the mucoused lining of
the Eustachlan Tube. When this
tube Is inhamed you have rumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an lnflamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.

FORM IN DRESS.

It has been our custom to pooh
pooh the Briton's thought for
form" in respect of clothes, but that
influence is slowly but surely spread
ing on the playing fields of this coun-
try, without making us any less keen
to win games aheld or ailoat. The
ordinary man who drives his own
motor car does not seem to feel now
adays that part Of the fun is to look
like an oiler in shore-going clothes.
nor does the power-boat sailor think
1t all of sport to be as grimy as a
tugboat fireman. This reform in the
matter of tidiness has even struck in
among the aviators, and the Asbury
Park meet has produced one flying
man who goes aloft in clothes whose
neatness would make him conven-
tional figure on any hotel piazza
along the Atlantic coast. The win
ming of games and other contests Is
after all only one of the graces OF
life, and while we are being graceful
we might as we'll make the picture
complete.

THE HEROIC DOG.

Heroism is not entirely confined to
men. Some women are heroic, in size,
at any rate, If we say nothing about
mice. Then there is the manifesto
ton of heroism among dogs. There
was a new case Of this kind in Bay
onne, N. j., a few days ago. Jacob
Wilson, a farmer living thereabout,
has a black dog named Jock, which
is pretty close to Mr.. Wilson's fami-
liar name of Jake. The dog and the
man. Jock and Jake, are close friends.
The dog has also shown remarkable
affection for the farmers prize chick
ems. Never once has Jock chased
one of these. He rose from COM
monplace summing of himself last
Saturday, into the realm of the hero
ic, when a white leghorn hen, fright
ened by an automobile, flew over the
bridge rail of the Morris canal, that
runs by the Wilson farm. Jock saw
the hens dilemma, and, without a
moments hesitation, he also plunged
over the bridge rail, dived into the
water and dragged her ashore. A
good subject, remarks the New York
Globe, for a moving picture.

AMERICAN TOURISTS, EXPENSES

General Howard Carroll estimates
that American tourists have spent
$25O,00O,0OO abroad this year. A
much-quoted semi-oillcial estimate of
the sums sent or taken home by i'm.
migrants puts the total at $275,OOO,-
600. If these figures are not greatly
exaggerated the London Statist's es-
innate of our exchange requirements
abroad at $6O0,OOOOOO, including in.
terest on securities and ocean
freights, Is within the truth. 1t is
more likely, though, that the estima-
tors "round figures" are much too
round.
