New York, Sept. 12.—Charles F. | a large owl, ~T7 MG Preacners 1n Qarfitany. The shamefully inadequate provision made for the support of the aged min- isters of the gospel of most denomina- tiona 1n ‘this country is in markeéd con- trast to the superb provision made for them in Germany. There, it is stated, the young minister gets a minimum salary, usually $500 and a parsonage. This salary is increased every few years until at sixty-five. the minister, even if he has changed his parish, re- celves $2,500, the largest compensation permissible, to which is to be added the use of the parsonage and certain fees given him. ‘At sixty-five the min- ister can withdraw on a pension if he shall so elect or if the parish shall so desire, or he can continue by general consent five years longer. On with- d@rawing he receives as a pension for the rest of his life two-thirds of his last and highest salary. On his death his widow receives an adequate pen- sion for the remainder of her days and also each of her children until their sixteenth or eighteenth year.—Chris- tian Herald. The Idea of Suggestion. Richard Mansfield once said that when he was a lad in London he often nearly starved. There was a certain bakeshop where he would go and feast upon the odors coming from the door. That boyhood notion gave him the idea of putting those lines in his play, “Beaun Brummel,” about “dining on the names of things”—a suggestion he used with powerful ‘dramatic effect. This idea of suggestion has done many a good deed. About ninety years ago 'a thirsty man walked up Wall street—I understand the habit of get- ting a thirst no longer prevails there, or maybe it is only the manner of al: laying it—and pumped a tin cup full of water from his own well. “Not so good as I used to get'from my father's well,” or something to that effect he remarked to his wife. “A pretty iden for a song,” said she, and so he sat down and in an hour wrote “The Old Oaken Bucket.”—Philadelphia Ledger. Votaries of Church Bells. The church bell has its votaries. Tennyson sang of ‘“‘the mellow lin-lan- lone of the evening bells.” And do You remember that experience of “Henry Ryecroft?’ *“I once passed a night in a little market town where 1 had arrived tired and went to bed early. I slept forthwith, but was pres- ently awakened by I knew not what. In the darkness there sounded a sort of music, and, as my brain cleared, 1 was aware of the soft chiming of church bells. Why, what hour could it be? I struck a light and looked at my watch. Midnight. Then a glow came over me. ‘We have heard the chimes at midnight, Master Shallow! Never till then had I heard them. And the town in which I slept was Evesham, but a few miles from Stratford-on. Avon. What if those midnight bells had been to me but as any' other and 1 had reviled them for breaking my- sleep?’—London Chronicle. Joke of a Sultan. The sultan of Turkey once played a Joke at the expense of some medical experts at Constantinople. When the plague broke out in his capital the sultan asked if anything was known as to the cause. On being informed that it was to be found in the state of the drinking water, he called at once for six empty bottles, which he had filled in his presence, all from the same one of the palace wells, placed his own seal upon them, and then. without divulging their community of origin, handed all six to a prominent analyst. To his amazement the re- port sent in was that four of the sam- ples contained plague microbes. The fifth was merely putrid water, and the sixth was quite pure.. Abdul Hamid calmly shrugged his shoulders and kept his thoughts to himself. Would Fill the Bill. Some who have attended councils and associations can appreciate this story of the late Rev. Dr. Norman Macleod of Edinburgh. Going into a room in which was a cage containing he surveyed it for a long time. The owl sat unmoved, placid and erect. His mien was dignified. his horns impressive, observant., his countenance sagacious and critical. At length Norman broke silence, “Man, ye wad mak’ a splendid moderawtor!"—Christian Register.

Testators’ requests often lead to strange results, - A scotchman, Thomas Thorp, left all his worldly goods to his two nephews on condition that they erected a monument to his memory , with at least one verse inscribed there- on. These careful brothers searched long and ardently for a verse at once | brief and apt. but they found that ‘the poets were inclined to run to words. They asked the aid of the monument mason, who suggested that the follow- ing couplet would admirably meet the case: Tere lies the corp Of Thomas Thorp. The brothers thought this apt, but wordy. The mason cogitated long and deep, and, to the satisfaction of ev- ery one, the verse found upon the stone was: Thorp's . Corpse. —London Graphic.
