Trinity’s Spire Now and When It Was
Considered Tall.
"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

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.
