PUSSY AND DISEASE,
Cats as Transmitters of Dangerous
M"ladieS Are Now Assuredly
Known.

Domestic animals are susceptible
to not few of the diseases that af
t1ict humanity. Influenza, whoopine
cough, diphtheria, fevers, skin diseases
and tuberculosis are among the most
common, says writer in Good Health
Animals take these diseases from man
and transmit them to one another
and back again to man. Sometimes an
epidemic will rage through a whole
neighborhood of eats. Pussy is usual.

and for the children's sake keep the
pets strictly isolated when they are

1t is dangerous, to say the least, to
permit cats or dogs to feed from the
same dishes that we ourselves use. or
to permit them too free access to our
tables at mealtime. Give the house
pets a place where they only must
be fed, AND provide them with their
own dishes, which. by the way, should
be washed separately from all others.
Keep eats and dogs under close sur
veillance, lest they roam where sick
ness is. If pet is worth keeping, ID
is worth providing with shelter and
comfort at night in clean box.

old Dutch church for larger quarters.

old Dutch church for larger quarters.
Under William and Mary grant was
made, in 1897, of a parcel of land which
was then described as near a street
without the north gate of the city,
commonly called Broadway. In 1908
further grant was made of tract OF
land known sQueen Anne's farm which
lay along the North river between what
are now Vesey and Christopher streets.
1t was to this last tract of land that
the heirs of Anneka JAMS Bogardus
laid claim. 1t stretches clear up along
Broadway and is to-day estimated TO
be worth fully S100,000,00O. Trinity
parish does not now possess these
domains. Had it been able to foresee
the wonderful growth of the city it
would to-day be worth a fabulous for
tune. As it is its wealth is now estimat-
ed to be about $4,000 900. with an annual
income of 100000. This income is eX-
pended not only in the support of the
parish and its missionary work, but
also in that of some 20 sister churches.
When the revolutionary war broke
out Trinity church was loyal to the
mother country. The rector having
retired from the city, the pulpit was
occupied by Mr.. Ing}is, who, not
withstanding the fact that one Sab
bath morning $50 men with loaded
muskets and fixed bayonets marched
into the church, invoked the blessing
of God upon 'our most gracious
sovereign, King George"
The present Trinity church is the
third of that name to be built on
the same site. The first one was
accounted the finest church in the
city in those days. Its first pastor
was Mr.. Vesey and the second Henry
Barclay, after both of whom streets
in that vicinity have been named.
The first church was burned down
and rebuilt in 177s. but in 1899 this
structure was adjudged unsafe and it
was torn down and the present build
ing erected. This was completed in
1916.
Trinity church building is undoubt-
eddy one of the finest specimens OF
Gothic architecture in the country.
Despite the tall and wonderful build
mgs that have gone up in the last
ten years it still remains clearly the
most conspicuous and magnificent
structure in the lower part of the
city. 1t faces directly down Wall
street as this thoroughfare opens
into Broadway. 1t is constructed of
brown stone and the groined roof is

GRAND OLD CHURCH.
New Workers Are Proud of Trinity
and Its History.
Famous Heroes and Statesmen Buried
Where the Din of Traffic Is Al
most Loud Enough to Arouse
the Dead.
Especial New York letter.

TNROM Wall street comes the roar of
commerce. Just to the south, on
New street, men are shouting
themselves hoarse buying and selling
stocks. From the Consolidated Stock
exchange there comes a muff1ed sound
like the rumbling of the sea. On Broad
way there is clatter of carts, jangle
of street car gongs and an everlasting,
ceaseless human hum. There is Jungle
of wagon spokes. There is conglom-
crate mass of people reaching as far as
the vision of the eye extends. 1t is
pandemonium loose on earth without
let or hindrance.
But at the head of Wall street, that
great throbbing, golden thoroughfare
of finance of America-on the west side
of Broadway, that mighty highway of
the peOple-in the midst of all the din,
the confusion of tongues like unto
which the confusion of Babel was as
summer song, tall and stately spire
arises as if to touch the sky. And amid
all this traffic, the fercest traffic of
the greatest city of the new world,
somber tombstones and tall shafts
stand like silent sentinels guarding the
dead who have slept for the centuries.
If you listen you may hear the chimes
in the belfry-soft and low, with melt
ing tenderness-and you will forget
the turmoil from the busy Broadway,
and you will heed no more the shouts
from Wall and from New streets. Be
fore you is Trinity church. To the
right and to the left of you is the grave
yard where lie some of the heroes and
the statesmen that have made an
America a possibility for you and for
me.
Just inside the gateway to the left
the other day / saw an old sailor with
a wooden leg. His cap was in his hand
and he bowed his grizzled head in
reverence before a polished granite
shaft. One can almost read from the
street the inscription to the memory of

is told. But you are tired now. Put
your book aside and go to the grocer's
for me. Here is the order"
Harry Dean closed the book. took the
slip of paper and started out.
1t was very hot day, and the street
had deserted look because it was the
noon hour.
As he passed the corner of Fourth
and Federal. he noticed a boy seated
on an empty whisky barrel, under an
awning, in front of saloon. The boy
was eating cherries.
AS Harry was returning from the
grocer's, he heard a ,oud report, and
saw boy flying into the air.
He ran with the others. and was one
of the first to help up a bruised and
bleeding boy. 1t was the one who had
been sitting on the whisky barrel He
was hurried away to the hospital.
1t was several days before the boy
recovered from his wounds. and then
he told how the accident happened.
After he had eaten his cherries. he
began to wonder if there was anything
in the barrel. In order to find out. he
struck match, dropped it through the
bunghole into the barrel. and was Just
about to peer into the hole when there
came a terrible explosion, and he
bounced up against the awning and then
out into the street.
why, the barrel was empty. How
could it blow up?" Harry asked his
mother, after narrating the event to
her.
THAT, my boy, is lesson in natural
philosophy. The barrel was full of
poisonous gas, which the whisky left
behind. The lighted match caused it
to expand and explode. Is there no

He was born in Leicester, England, and
came to this country in 1852 with Will
liam Penn. He set his press up in Phil
adelphia-the third in the colonies, but
on account of political differences re-
moved it to New York and on October
16, 1925, issued the first number of his
paper. On his headstone is this quaint
inscription:
Reader, reflect how soon you'll quit this

Trinity is the parent of the Episcopal
church in the United States, and aside
from it's early associations with the be-
ginning of New York is filed with his
toric interest. The first church in this
country was in n little chapel near the
Battery which had been vacated by the

what u Bottle of whisky Did.

A South Australian paper made the
following comment on the receipt of a
little gift from an admirer of the jour
nal:
"A present in the shape of a bottle
of fine old Scotch whisky was kindly
sent to the Office at two p. IN. on
Thursday. Ten minutes past that
hour not a dram of the liquor re-
manned; ten seconds later the Office boy
had sold the bottle at the rag and bone

supported by rows of carved Gothic
columns. The daylight enters through
stained windows which soften and
warm the rays into delicate tints.
The altar and reredos are memorials
OF the late William B. Astor and were
erected by his sons. The altar is of
pure white marble with shafts of red
upon which are capitals carved in
follated designs. The shafts are d.

fianked by two kneeling angels.
But it is the spire of Trinity that i'm
presses one. 1t stretches far above
up to mere speck in the sky to a
height of 2S4 feet. Some years ago
the ascent of the steeple was one of
the incidents of visit to New York,
but the custom has fallen into dis
use, and indeed it is very difficult now
to obtain a permit to climb to the
top. The view. however. is one of
the finest to be obtained in the city,
One may look to the north up Broad
way as far as Grace church, at the
juncture of Tenth street. In fact
Broadway is the only street that can
be distinguished Below the people
look like ants. The street cars move
in regular lines like bugs. In all di-
rections is a sea of house-tops and
chimney-pots-a desert of roofs: a
forest of dwellings from the quaint
squat Dutch brick that is still in evil
dence to the shapely thing of granite
and marble. Away to the west is the
North river, sparkling like a cloth
of gold. Wharves line the shore and
great ocean vessels, and little tugs.
and white sails, and launches are
hurrying here and there. On the
other side one may see plainly the
roofs and the church spires IN Jer-
sey City and Hoboken, with the Or
ange mountains and the Jersey High
lands beyond. Then, with a sweeu
to the south, is the glistening harbor
of New York with the green islands
and the statue of liberty, with arm
appraised like a guardian angel over
all, and then the Narrows, and in
the distance Sandy Hook and the
ocean. Eastward there is the in
evitable Wall street. running like
cowpath to East river, which leads us
on to the Long Island shore with the
swelling Brooklyn heights rounding
out the view.
Below us is that wasp nest; that
mass of struggling humanity; some
fighting for fame. some for gold,
some for bread. Here we are above
the maddening throng. The chimes
are striking now. We are at peace
in Old Trinity.
