"When 1 was younger,” said a mid dle aged man, ‘i came down to New York. I got some idea of the size of the city by riding in the horse cars. By the way. it is one of the few cities in the world where you can still ride in horse cars. “I visited most of the show places and went to all the theaters. I w’ent to Brooklyn by ferry. 1 devoted a day to going to iiurlein by the Sylvan Glen or Sylvan Stream o.- Sylvan some thing on the East river. ‘‘But the thing that impressed me most was the view from the steeple of Trinity church. "Away up there, where the lookout holes were, I could look down on the lower part of the city, could see the river on either side, the upper bay and the Brooklyn and New Jersey shores. “At that great height I discovered that others had been there before me, for on the timbers were cut the names or initials of my predecessors. I had a distinctive way of cutting my Initials in monogram, and this monogram orna mented the smooth trunks of various birch trees in the woods of my native region. “This I cut on a vacant space high up in the steeple of Trinity and then looked at it and thought that daring spirits of remote future generations would climb to the same height and perhaps see it among the other initials. “I have never been up in the steeple of Trinity church since that memora ble ascent. But the other day I was walking past the church, and I saw typewriter girls looking out on the apex of Trinity spire from windows that seemed to be several hundred feet Above It. “I then thought of the monogram 1 had carved on the inside of the spire and noted the location of the little lookout windows from which I had seen such a wondrous panorama forty years ago. “I had no inclination to make the In terior ascent of the spire, but from my position on the Broadway sidewalk I should say that if I had gone np and looked out of the same little windows I conld have seen at the farthest about sixty feet except in one direction be fore the view was shot off by walls of steel and stone. “Perhaps adventurous climbers will no more carve their Initials np among the timbers of Trinity’s steeple. It would involve less exert ion to cut them on some beam In the cellar, from which position the view would be almost as extensive, and then to take an express elevator and see how the apex of Trin ity’s spire looks from a pqfpt a few hundred feet above It” —New York Sun. —Jost rsoetred. a gar of Oklahoma rat fast proof oat ion A Brm. A Long Drawn Out Sermon and a Text That Fitted the Preacher. In Lincoln county, Mo., at Mount i Zion, a bam let of two or three stores, is the only church of the Associated Reformed Presbyterian faith to be found west of the Mississippi river and north of the Arkansas line. Only the Psalms of David are sung in this church, psalm singing being a distinc tive feature of the worship. The ser mons have three heads, and the hour for the second church service is "early candle lighting.” Captain J. A. Reid, ruling elder in the church, says that the brick build ing in which the congregation, number ing about 150. now meets was erected in 1851. James McKnigbt was one of the church’s earliest ministers. In size he was like the children of Anak, weighing over 300 pounds. In voice lie was a Boanerges, in riding like the son of Ximshl. He generally rode in a gallop and frequently with a loose horse galloping along behind, to have a change of horses In case the one be was riding should give out. In bis day long sermons were the rule. On one occasion it is said that he preached so long that all of his bearers left him on account of approaching night, and when, last of all, the sexton left be re quested Mr. McKnigbt to shut the door when he got through. Of another minister of the early days of this church a good story is told. His name was William Blackstock, an Irishman by birth, a Scotchman by ed ucation and an American citizen by choice. In stature he was low. in complexion very dark. When on one occasion he looked out of one of the old time high inclosed pulpits, which hid all but bis head, and announced his text, "I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem,” even those grave and dignified worshipers could scarcely suppress a smile and are 1**- lieved to have laughed outright—after the Sabbath was passed.—Kansas City Star. The Cabbage King. Imagine yourself driving along miles of road vq^th great fields on either side In whlcht nothing can be seen but cab bage. Picture to yourself a big planta tion traversed by miles of railroad tracks, with here and there station platforms, all for the receipt and ship ment of cabbage. Contemplate an of fice in the midst of a farm where type writers rattle from morning till night and telegraph Instruments dick away to the extent of $100 a day received In tolls all about cabbage. Think of hun dreds of freight cam going oat, made np Into trains of twenty-five to thirty cam each, all loadad with cabbage. If yon can fix all theae things In yonr mind so that yon have a mental pic ture of theae scenee, then yon can feel ''Oil yon have the correct idea of Meg' river a few miles from Charleston, S. C. It is the spot where are made the world's groutost shipments of cab bage. Here is located the farm of Norman II. Bliteh, known as the "cab bage king” because he raises, it is said, more cabbage than any other one person in the world and largely dom inates the business. — Southern Farm Magazine. Help Fc - Psychology. Kellar. widely known as a practical “magician.” utmounccg that he will soon quit the platform and join serious science in its efforts to further exact knowledge i:i the realm of spiritism. Mr. Kellar does not say that he is a spiritualist or that he is possessed of supernatural powers, hut he does con tend that his long experience in the realm of mystifying trickery will lend to him and Ids associates a powerful aid in separating the spurious from the real. Science should welcome the ad vent of Kellar in ids now field. The gentlemen who have given a great deal of their time In arriving at the truths of psychology will find In him a valu able ally. Kellar will instantly know the bogus when he sees it, and his pe culiarly trained mind may lend itself more readily than the minds of his as sociates to the development of the truth of mysticism.
