AN ANCIENT CHURCH.
A Beverly (AIass.) Structure Nearly Two
Centuries Old.

Centuries Old.
The remodeled Second church, that Of
the Congregational society, at North
Beverly, Mass, is 1874 years old and is
the first and only house of worship the
society has ever had. The Second parish
of Beverly is one of the old societies of
the county. When incorporated by the
general court in 1918, it was as the
"precinct of Salem and Beverly" OBJ
lection has been made on the part Of
certain Beverly people to the separation
of the parish.
The first meeting toward forming the
society was held in November, 1918,
and committee appointed. At later
meeting the sum of $3.50 was raised to-
ward building a meeting house. The
house was built and finished and dedi-
Gated the following year.
Originally it was 30 feet by 40. In
l771 porch was added to the front end
by Caleb Dodge at his own expense. In
1851 steeple was built and 400
pound bell was purchased. Two years
later Robert Hooper gave bell to the
church. The house was placed on its
present site in 1887, when it was en-
larged and thoroughly remodeled.
When General Gage was stationed at
Danvers and lived in the Collins house,
at the time be sent his messenger down
to Salem to terminate the sitting of the
assembly because it was about to form a
provincial congress, he attended church
in the North Beverly house of worship.
For many years the ceiling was not
plastered, but later some of the wealthy
members had the spaces over their own
pews plastered at their own expense.
When Robert Hooper gave the church
the bell, he was given pew in the
church, and the parish voted to have it
plastered overhead at the expense of the
society. Boston Herald.

DRINKS OF OUR FORBEARS.
rhsy Were Fastidious In Quality. Though
They Liked Quantity.

TlAsy Were FAstidious In Quality. Though
They Liked Quantity.
Among che popular drinks were mad
dog and dragons milk. Their main CON-
stituent was ale of different degrees Of
age and strength favored with ginger
and similar hot stuff. Mad dog was the
stronger of the two. 1t was popular
among gentlemen of ancient Pistols
stamp, who usually wanted something
to grip their threats and put fire into
their eyes. Topers owe q great deal to
this same mad dog. He 1t was that in
tIoduced the custom. popular in other
lands besides England, of easing the ef-
fects of overindulgence by taking "a
hair of the dog that bit you"
The fastidious Briton of the olden
times was also mighty hard to please as
to the qualities of wine. We find record
of his nicely in this regard as far back
as the twelfth century. An old manu-
script in the British museum tells rs
what wine was most priced: "It should
be clear like the tears Of penitent, so
that a man may see distinctly to the
bottom of his glass; its color should
represent the greenness Of buffalo's
horn; when drunk, it should descend
impetuously like thunder; sweet tast-
ed, like an almond; creeping like a
squirrel; leaping like roebuck; strong
like the building of a Cistercian monas-
terry; glittering like spark of fire; SUBJ
tie like the logic of the schools of Paris;
delicate as fine silk, and colder than
crystal.
If the Englishman of that day was
able to procure this celestial liquor, he
was more fortunate than recent topers
and tipplers have been in the triune
kingdom. All modern travellers can tes-
tify that no such wine is to be had now,
either in "dear old London" or else
where on the island. Furthermore, the
fancy beverages of the Elizabethan per-
iod have disappeared and left not rack
behind, unless we dignity such wishy
washy stuff as claret punch, which holds
the place of honor in most metropolitan
barrooms, and port negus, which still
fingers in the sickroom, by calling
them weak kneed descendants of the
sturdy, uncompromising beverages of
old.-Chicago Tim es- Herald.

borrowing and Lending.

In old times, when the country was new
and shops and stores were day s journey
from the door of the householder, borrow
ing appeared sometimes necessity. The
good man or woman of the house came to
an emergency where nothing but call
upon the neighbors seemed to meet the case
In most instances lending was a cheerful
courtesy, and the borrower merely felt un-
der obligations to reciprocate If occasion
offered But every community had what
might be called its professional borrowers
families who perhaps were not as i'm
provident as they were greedy and selfish.
What they borrowed they didn't have to
buy, and anything obtained in this way
was clear gain. They would borrow any
thing that the neighbors would lend them,
from the carving knife to the family car
riage and 1t was fortunate circumstance
! indeed If the things came back in good
condition. No matter what the breakage,
the entire family would testify that it was
| cracked and came to pieces almost imme-
diately.
Borrowing with some people is almost
equivalent to peremptory demand for
ones property without the slightest idea
or intent of compensation. There is one
kind OF borrower, however, who is more
difficult to get along with than all the
rest. 1t Is the man who comes on ones
premises in the absence of responsible per-
| sons and takes away what he wants, tell
Ing his neighbor afterward that as nobody
was home he took the article, for he was
sure the owner wouldn't mind. Possibly
the owner might not mind so much If the
thing were returned promptly and in good
order. But 1t is likely to be something of
| everyday necessity, the lack of which
| causes its owner great Inconvenience, If
not serious loss. New York Ledger

stocks


Boston, Mass, Feb. II, 1898.
Sentiment in speculative circles changed
iast week and prices declined as rapidly
as they previously went up. There was
but one cause for the changed sentiment
and that has been the principal topic for
discussion during the past week, not
only in stock market precincts, but every
where; the sad disaster IN Havana har.
Dor furnished the bears with just the OPP
portunity for which they have been long
ins for -ome months and, besides short
selling by the professional traders, there
WIS considerable liquidation by fright
aened holders who saw in the war scare
the possibility of lower prices for all
stock market securities and who pre-
ferred TO get out OF the market before
any serious break occurred.
With but few exceptions the entire list
sho wed net loss in market value for
the week, Twenty eight stocks showed
a loss of more than two points and fif-
te-n stocks showed loss of more than
three point. Other losses ranged from
four TO fourteen points, the latter in

however previously had risen from la
to IT'S almost without a reaction and was
affected by special influences not bearing
upon tn. market as whole, American
Sugar Rrfining led the decline in the
market by a loss OF eleven points and
was more active than for some time
This stock also had special reasons for
weasness, owing to the trade war with
the Arbuckels, the coffee roasters, who
have invaded the sugar refining business.
For long time past the stock market
has been worried by the varying phases
OF the Cuban situation; It's ups and do WINS
have been followed by corresponding
, Mutations in the market and it has oc-
-c-sioned considerable uneasiness despite
tn dignided attitude OF the administra.
r,on toward the matter. 1t is generally
admitted that II the interests OF Englap d

the policy OF the United States is mapped
out on different lines, too lenisnt per
haps. but evidently for the best interests
OF the United States in the first place and
lastly for the best interests OF others.
Notwithstanding the unsettled condi-
tions. general business Ia making great
progress forward. Weekly bank clear
ing figures show large increases an com
pared with several preceding years which
Indicate 80 much more business doing
and railroad earnings are making phe-
nomenal gains which will result, and al
ready has resulted in some cases, In the
distribution OF larger amounts in divi-
dends to security holders. The effect OF
the strike OF the cotton mill operatives
has been more local than otherwise as
yet, although the large Wholesale dealers
in this city have noticed falling off in
orders from the manufacturing centers.
The copper market has maintained its
firm tone and prices are a bit stronger
than week ago. As stated last week
the Calumet and Hecla mining company
advanced it's price for the metal from IL
to TX cents, but bids have been received
in this city at even better prices, which
anticipated IN view OF the Calumet and
Hecla's advance. One OF the Lake com
panies received bona fide bid OF II 80
cents for round amount OF copper last
week. but had to decline the offer be-
cause il already was sold ahead for some
months. This ia the condition oil a num-

Contrary to the most emphatic denials
Of the president and number OF the d.
. ,ctors ofthe Centennial mining company,
IN assessment OF SO per share was levied

las been predicted from time to time in
hese letters for the past few months.
The question arises: What was the OBJ
ect Of the directors in denying that ar

aging that the assessment talk was ride
llous and only emanated from the bear
raiders? One large trader who was short

ired of paying assessments.

THE PRICE OF BICYCLES.

Never since the invention of the
bicycle have conditions been so favor
able to the retail purchaser as they are
this year. A buyer may make his
choice of wheel from $25 up to 1925,
or higher, if a special design and spe-
cial finish are wanted. Coincident
with the reduction in the price of the
bicycle is the satisfying assurance that
the purchaser gets as good for his
money as his predecessors, who spent
double the amount. The manufactur-
ers say that to-day the bicycle rider
can purchase as good a wheel for $50
as he bought before for 800. The $50
bicycly is guaranteed to have as good
tubing, as good tires, as good forgings
as good rims and spokes, as good a
chain and to be finished as we'll as the
same wheel that formerly sold for
double the price. The bicycle that
sells for $75 is guaranteed to be equal
to that which was specially made and
sold in previous years for $125. The
fittings are similar to those that
were placed on the wheel one year
ago, and the care taken in its construc-
tion is quite equal to that employed
III the making of racing wheels. In
deed, modern invention has done so
much toward perfecting the little parts
that the purchase of $75 bicycle in
1898 is said to obtain improvements
that the buyer of a S12j wheel two
years ago was unable to get. Another
grade of wheel this year will sell for
$50, but the enameling is coarse and
the painting not first class. A grade
OF wheel selling for less than $50 cor
responds to the bicycle that was sold
for $50 and $40 when the standard
price of the wheel was 800. This new
$35 and $40 grade is declared by ex-
perts 30 be superior to the old wheel
that sold for $50. The quality of the
material entering into its composition
is better, the finish is better and the
sundries that go with such a wheel
would have cost two years ago in the
neighborhood of IS or $40. The high
priced bicycle of the year is the chain
less. tits listed at $125. The buyer
pays for the patent and the novelty,
and he receives in addition to these a
machine that is constructed in the
most advanced style of the bicycle
builders art.
The same result may follow that has
followed in the chain bicycle. Com.
petition brings prices to lower level
quicker than any other agency save a
panic. At present, however, manufac-
turers will adhere to the price set, as
they have been obliged to build expen.
sive machinery and pay roundly foi
patents. Bicycles will he in the reach
OF almost everybody this year, and il
is predicted riding will be largely in.
