SOME AMERICAN HISTORY.

The first Trinity church, New York,
was opened in March, 1898; it was de-
stroyed in one of New York's great
fires, September 21, 1776. The second
building was erected between 1884 and
1890. and was opened March IS, 1889.
This church was taken down in 1839-4O;
the present church, the third, was be-
gun June 3, 1841, and consecrated May
26, 1916, by Bishop McCoskry, of Michi-

1t was cracked on the morning of July

In a message to congress in 1907
Thomas Jefferson, then president of
the United States, recommended the
surveying of the Atlantic coast line of
the country with a view to its adequate
defense, and also to the establishment
OF guides ana safeguards to navigation.
Congress adopted the recommendation
of the president and made an aprrorri-
alton of $4,000 for the purpose, the di-

SUICIDE AMONG GERMANS.
The Stronger the Teutonism the
Stronger the Propensity to
Standardization.

Another social phenomenon has been
laid at the door of the Teutonic race of
northern Europe, one which even more
than divorce is directly the concom-
liant of modern intellectual and
economic progress. We refer 10 suicide,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
Morsclli devotes chapter of his inter
csting treatise upon this subject to
proving that "the purer the German
race-that is to say, the stronger the
Germanism (e. g., Teutonism). of
countrywide more it reveals in it's ply
steal character an extraordinary pro-
psnsity to self-hestruction." On the
other hand, the Slavic peoples seem to
him TO be relatively immune. These
conclusions he draws from detailed
comparison of the distribution Of sui
eide IN the various countries of western
Europe. and it must be confessed that
he has collected data for a very plaus-
ible case. There Gun be no doubt that in
Germany the phenomenon eliminates
in frequency for all Europe, and that
it tends to disappear in almost direct
proportion to the attenuation Of the
Teutonic racial characteristics else
where.

Our Cavalry.


An American citizen thinks the
American soldier is the best, for the
easy reason that he is an American,
but there were threes Englisbmen
whose profession had qualified them to
know soldiers Of every land. and who
were quite as enthusiastic over the
cavalry as any American could be-
as is Frederic Remington, for in
stance. For one thing, all OF our men
are physically as large as life guards
men, and what they lose in contrast by
lack of gold and pipe clay, and through
the inferiority of their equipment and
uniform, is made up to them in the
way they ride horse. A German or
English trooper sits his horse like a
clothespin stuck on line-the line
may rise or sag, or swing in the wind,
but the clothespin maintains it's equi-
librium at any cost, and is straight,
unbending, and thing to itself. The
American trooper, with his deep sad
die and long stirrup, swings with the
horse, as ship rides at anchor on the
waves; he makes line OF grace and
strength and suppleness from the rake
of his sombrero to the toe of his hooded
stirrup. When his horse walks, he
sits it erect and motionless; when it
trots, he rises with it, but never leaves
the saddle; and when it gallops he
swings in unison with 1t, like cowboy,

The Tired Preacher.

Psychologist, have been Investigating
the nature of the poison which is en-
gendered by fatigue. If the blood Of a
fatigued animal be injected into an
other animal that is fresh and unfa-
tigued, all the phenomena of fatigue
will be produced. The poison which is
produced by fatigue is Of the same ma
ture as that into which the Indians
used to dip their arrows; and most
deadly poison it is found to be. "In case
it is created more rapidly than can be
carried off by the blood, the organism
suffers seriously" A preacher should
make it rule never to work at his ser
mons when he is tired. Tired compost
tion is sure to tell injuriously on the
sermon as delivered, and tired preach
ing makes tired hearing. The biogra-
pher of Dean Stanley says that one

THE PASSING OF GOLD LACE
Flashy Uniforms Are Not Now a
Common a. They Formerly
Were,

The sober-tinted and workmanlike
appearance OF 'he American army
service uniform has attracted much
attention among the representatives
of foraign armies. Big gold epaulettes,
startling rows of brass buttons, sashes
and shakos used to hold the military
mind in spell, even in this country;
but the gold l,ee and the tinsel had to
go. The Indians and the long-range
rifles shot them away. The CLINT of
brass button or gold braid, bit of
trimming on dark blue, the eagle-eyed
redskin could see tremendously long
distance away in the clear air of the
mountains. Long range is his first
principle in war. A stand-up fight is
not in his line, and his aim is believed
to be less accurate at 300 yards than
it is at 800. So all the bits Of finery
that caught the light had to be dis
pensed with, and even the polished
swords and the white trimmings dis
appeared. As often as not dingy buck
skin would replace the blue cloth. A
company OF i,.r.---- -e-"e - look like
hunters and troop Of cavalry like
cowboys. One of the best changes thus
brought about was the substitution of
the useful sombrero for the jaunty
but insecure forage cap. 1t remains
to be seen what further changes in
uniforms the present war will bring
about. If there. should have to be
much more fighting in tropical eli
mates uniform not only of special
color but of special texture would
have TO be adopted. In such climates
white men are not expected to walk.
If man has to go a quarter of mile
LIE jumps on his horse. If he tried to
walk the distance he would be bathed
in very inconvenient if not unwhole
some perspiration- The idea of our
soldiers marching in such countries
with their ordinary kit and clothing
strikes anyone who knows the condi-
tons as appalling, and if the war were
to last much longer the question of
change of uniform for special condi-
tons would inevitably have to be
taken up.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
