WORKING AT DIZZY HEIGHTS.

During the present summer several of the high spires of New York's churches have been undergoing repairs. In general this has consisted of point ing up the masonry, which, in more familiar language, means filling in the cracks and creyices between the brick and stone with new mortar and ce- ment. On an ordinary piece of mason " work where the same around of surface was to be treated, this work would consume only little labor any, time. In the case of church steeples, however, the work is exceedingly deli cate, and the great distance from the ground renders the occupation of the laborer hazardous and full of danger
 One of the most noticeable of these instances has been in connection with Dr. Parkhurst's church. which faces Madison Square. Early in the year the spire of this church was struck by lightning and the pinnacle knocked out of position. Although the work of re- placing this was in itself small mat ter, it was necessary to build scaffold- ing from the base of the tower all the way to the extreme point. Tnasmuch as the spire had not been touched in nearly half a century, the authorities decided it would be good tmie, while the scaffolding was in position, to put the spire in perfect order, and the work has been going on all summer. Alt hough the spire reaches a height of 24O feet, it has long since ceased to im- press the observer by reason of the fact that one of the cty's sky scraping buildings stands near by and reaches heavenward, almost overlapping the church steeple.
 In speaking of this particular kind of work, the foreman in charge made the statement only few days ago that it was difficult to get men enough to do it. Good masons would start in, but when they began reaching any al- titude they would contract the look ing down. habit, which was fatal Sey- eral men had thrown up the job since the work had begun, saying that they would not continue if they were paid S10 a day. In the case of Dr. Park hurst's church the workmen, after reaching the floor over the organ loft, were obliged to climb two forty-foot ladders before reaching the first floor fthe scaffolding. The scaffolding ran up twenty-two floors, on an average of seven feet to floor. It is said that if workman keeps his attention fixed on the work on a level with him he is all right. The moment he begins look ing downward he unnerves himself. and it is only question of a short time when he is obliged to give up en- tirely. This applies to the carpenters who put up the scaffolding, as well as to the masons who are engaged in the work of pointing up' or building a steeple.

 Camp Haven, Mantle, Sept 9-After four months service. and at the end of the war, the Yale soldiers and other re- cruits of Battery A, First Connecticut Light Artillery, find that they have en- dured at least one hardship of war, the regular army mess, unnecessarily Since their enlistment on May they have lived on pork and beans, bacon and potatoes, and unsweetened black pense they could have enjoyed fresh country food.
 In the battery are three mess squads composed of the Guilford, Branford and Yale recruits Each squad has a sepa- rate cook. At first the country and col lege boys lived entirely on their army rations in order to get accustomed to the camp fare before their expected campaign in Cuba or Porto Rico. A few bought such delicacies as milk, butter and sugar. But most of the ar tillerymen were satisfied with the fare of Uncle Sam until their appetite, which had been increased by the healthy, outdoor camp life. outgrew the daily meals of one potato, a dollar-size piece of meat, cup of black coffee and two slices of bread. Recently they

In the last issue of the COURIER we
made mention of a very unusual sur
gical operation that a 16-year-old boy
living near Sumner had performed on
himself. We have since learned that
we were misinformed concerning the
name of the rash youth, and that In
stead OF his name being Carlstead it
was Ed. RawlInson. DR.. ]. o. Hardy,
the attending physician, reports that
young Rawlinson is doing well. The
editor of the COURIER very much re-
grets the error made in coupling the
name of young Carlstead with this self.
inflicted mutilation affair, and we
therefore make the amen6s honorable
by giving the name of the right party.
Our information last week was OBJ
tanned from what We considered a re-
liable source, but our informant was
evidently not posted as to who the
self-made eunuch was.
