Compensations of Pastors.
Prom an open letter in the February Century.
In the ministry, service and salary
are not equal terms. The high office
was not created for the advnatage of
the holder, and the calling is degraded
into a mere profession when it is made
the subject of money equivalents. The
work of the ministiy is more especially
in the realm of the moral and spiritual,
and therefore can never be "financial
ly compensated in any exhaustive com
mercial Eenee." Nevertheless, the
minister adapted by conduct and learn
ing to his high calling ordinarily does
t have, and should have, a slaary propor
tionate to the demands of the field he
' is tilling, and compensations far more
satisfying and woithy of consideration
than salaries.
A GOOD PULLER.
Wise Bros., the Portland Dentists, Do
Some Original pulling.
If this item pulls you to our office to
have your tooth pulled, it will not hurt
you to have the tooth pulled anymore
than it hurt you to have your inclina
tions pulled in our favor. If this talk
fails to pull you in our direction, then
we shall have so much less tooth
pulling to do, but we want lots of it.
Wa Fend out our words urging you to
take immediate care of your teeth. We
try to pull your thoughts to the safe
conclusion that it is beBt to have bad
teeth pulled out right away without
any waiting; and when 'we pull the
' teeth it does not hurt you. Besides
that, it does not pull much money from
your pocket, for our charges are very
moderate. This short talk on pulling
we sincerely hope will pull you to our
office, and, if you come, you will find
that not any of these pulls hurt anyone.
On the coutrary, each and every ono of
them will do both you and us good.
You will tee that we tell the truth
when we say that dental work in ' our
office is painless and inexpensive, and
when you return to your home satisfied
with our work v.e hope you will tell
pome of your friends about us. Wise

A PARTING.
OOO ELL, dear, what do you think

fully, as with shining eyes he
threw a letter on the table. His pretty
wife laid down her sewing, a flimsy
bit of lace work, and crept close to his
side.
"It will separate us, Jack," was all
she said, with quivering Hp.
"But, Alice, look what It will mean
to us" to me, he had almost said.
"Here have I been slaving for a mere
pittance, and now this piece of good
luck comes at last; It Is simply glori
ous!" Then, casting a look at the sor
rowful face f his side, he said, in a
soothing tone, "It will only be for two
years nt most, love, and then," In
soothing tone, "we will be as happy
as the day is long. You will be pa
tient, dear," he added, putting his arm
around her, but still glancing at the
letter on the table.
"Yes, Jack, I know It Is for your
good,deed, but It Is so hard to bear;"
and then scarce able to repress her
tears, she crept from the room.
Left to himself, Jack paced restless
ly to and fro.
"Poor Alice," he said, and then his
thoughts flew away to the quaint little
fishing village on the west coast of
Ireland, where he had met her two
years ago. Being attracted by her
wondrous beauty, fell In love, and well
bad married her, and been promptly
disinherited for his pains.
He had gone and, oh, the desolation
that had crept Into one loving, lonely
heart For three months she had
scarcely left the house, dark rings
showed about the lustrous eyes; she
wandered listlessly to and fro, looking
nt any little memento that might re
mind her of him, her husband, her
husband, her darling; wondering why
the sun shone and looked at hearts so
sorrowful as hers. But one day, with
his familiar rat-a-tat, the postman left
a letter. It was from him, her Idol;
she could scarce see It for blinding
tears, yet all at once the world had
turnod Into a bright and Joyous place.
Then, after a blissful half hour spent
In deciphering it, she rushed for pen
and Ink to answer. But now the sweet
face clouded.
"I cannot do It I cannot do it prop
erly," she murmured, n slight pout on
her red lips. "They would laugh at
biin when they saw my letter." and
hot tears gathered In the brown pvm
Lnnd fell one by one like little Jewels
upon me unonetuiing poper.
She bent her head upon hor hands in
dejection; a sunbeam stole through the
window and kissed her rippling hair,
and as If It had lent an Inspiration to
her troubled thoughts, her face sudden
ly cleared, she sprang up, the glad light
once more in her eyes.
"I'll do It!" she cried. "I was always
good at lace work. Miss Crlckraay shall
teach me. I'll educate myself on tho
money Jack sends me, and keep myself
by my lace. Lady Severn always bought
It, and maybe in a year I can save
enough to take me out to Jack, my
Jack, and it will be such a surprise to
him."
And all the time with trembling
fingers and fast beating heart, she ar
ranged her hat. preparatory to going
to the select School for Young Lndles,
over which Miss Crlckmay presided.
Far away In Iudia a young man was
bending over his desk, Just signing a
flourishing "Jack" to a letter commenc
ing "My dear wife."
"She must never come here," he said
sadly. "It would break her heart to be
slighted. What would Lady WIntou
say to her. I wonder? Not that she Isn't

What are known as "invisible photographs" may afford a great deal of
amusement to the arrateur. These pictures can be produced very easily, and
when properly made the paper on which they are printed shows absolutely
no trace of the picture or other matter. Immediately upon being dampened,
however, the picture, which has already been Impressed upon its sunace,
appears plainly, only to fade away again when the paper becomes dry.
A tasteful method of mounting prints is by Indenting a plate mark some
what larger than the print into the surface of the mount itself. This may
easily be done in the following manner: First, secure three pieces of zinc
or heavy block tin, two of which should be of the same size as the mount to
be treated and the third of the exact size and shape that the plate mark Is
desired to be when finished. The edges and corners of this third plate
should be carefully rounded. Then select the card and pass it several times
through a clothes wringer between three or four sheets of blotting paper,
which have been thoroughly wet. After the mount Is evenly damped In this
way place it between the larger sheets of metal with the smaller piece on
top of the card, and I11 the exact position cn the mownt Tvnre tho plate mark
is desired, and holding them firmly run them through the wringer backward
and forward three or four times.
Winter affords excellent opportunities for the amateur photographer to
secure pretty views, and to thoroughly appreciate what a beautiful art pho
tography Is. Outdoor work Is very Interesting, and allows one plenty of
chance for experimenting. If before taking out his camera for actual work
the beginner should make It a practice to observe the surrounding snow
scenes whenever on opportunity is offered, he will learn a great deal about
light and shade. I often, on observing an attractive snow scene, stand still,
and closing the left eye entirely and the right eye partly, survey the scene
carefully, so as to get an idea of what It would look like as a picture. At the
same time I carefully note the effect of light and shade on the snow In differ
ent directions.
Newly fallen snow will not make a very good picture, as the white ex
panse is too monotonous. The deeper the snow, and the more tracks It con
tains, the better are the possibilities of securing a good negative. I always
endeavor to show the shadows well in photographing snow, and this, of
course, can only be done when the snow is broken up In waves, and when
the sun is out. Without direct sunlight, as much detail cannot be obtained.
It is best to take snow scenes with the sun rather to the front or at the side
of the camera. Beautiful effects may be secured with the sun slightly to
the front of the camera, as the light shining through the top of the snow
makes a very pretty effect. Pretty pictures may also be secured when the
trees are covered with Ice.
Backed plates give good results for snow scenes, or if one cares to bother
with double coated non-halation plates they will give even better satisfac
tion than the former. The latter are especially good for photographing
snow scenes at night under electric or by moonlight. Any good isochromatlc
plate may be used for snow work. Camera and Dark Room.

felt the spell as he stood apart for a
moment, listening to the sweet strains
of the opening waltz. Suddenly he
turned pale and almost staggered,
clutching a chair for support. A beau
tiful woman had just entered, and was
being presented by Lady Wlnton to a
few select friends. Gentlemen crowded
round, anxious for Introductions and
dances, to all of whom she was gra
cious as a queen; but ever and anon an
anxious look came Into the glorious
eyes, as if there was a someone or a
something missing.
Jock soon regained his composure.
"So like," he said, "yet so unlike.
Why, Alice Is thousands of miles away;
besides, she never could act like that
even If she were here," he added bit
terly. She had turned and looked at him;
he stifled with a cruel 'hand a certain
sweet wlhliiess that had sprung up in
his heart at that look. He moved n little
nearer he would, he must have a
dance; he need not deny himself thnt.

though It would be short.

spread over cheek and nVck, she hand

he had scarcely written his name when
the music began.
Klslng with a smile, she laid her hand
upon his arm. "I do not wish to dance:
let us sit it out In the conservatory,"
she said softly.
He glanced at her qulcklv. a faint
glimmering of the truth dawning upon
him.
"Alice," he almost gasped, as thev
reached a quiet spot, "is it you?"
But two soft, pleading eves were all
his answer, and then two lovely arms
went round his neck, with "Jack, mv

DYSPEPSIA OF WOMEN.
Mrs. E. B. Bradshaw, of
Guthrie, Okla., cured of a severe
case by. Lydia E. Pinkhara's
Vegetable Compound.
A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp
toms seem to be similar to those of
ordinary indijrestlon, yet the medi-
cluca universally prescriVd do not
eem to restore the patient's normal
condition.
Mrs. PInkham claims that there
is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by derangement of the female organ
ism, and which, while it causes dis
turbance similar to ordinary indiges
tion, cannot be relieved without a
medicine which not only acts as a
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well.
