| SAVING OF STEPS.

If a telephone would save you a
half dozen trips a day-it usually
saves people from three to six times
that many-wouldn't it be an eco
nomical investment?
A telephone iii your house or
place of business costs you less than
10 cents a day, Six trips a day
would cost you not less than ten
cents each, or a total of 90 cents.
In month this would foot up the
enormous total of SIS counting
Sundays and all. But some busi-
ness men use their phone 100 or
more times a day. They couldn't
do withoItit.

OF their foundation the one about which the least
is known is that organized in 1864 in what was
then the town OF Bushwick. 1t is now commonly
known the Old Bushwck Church. The two
other Reformed churches that have attained an
age OF two and half centuries are IN F1atbush
and Flatlands, respectively.
The old BushwicR Church. which still occupies
the site which the original church building was
placed. at Conselyea and Humboldt SITS. has IN
recent years had a hard struggle for existence
The neighborhood is now largely filled with Cath
olics. mostly Italians and the society would long
since have gone under had it not been for a sent-
mental determination on the part OF a few brave
scus not TO allow organization historical to
become extinct
History does not record where the services were
held prior to the building the first church house
II was queer looking little octagonaI building
with an exceedingly steep roof running up 70 a

You see what We have to do" said the florist
''on account of this cold weather. Those plants
intended for a big wedding. Ordinarily we
could put those in the wagon and take them right
around to the church. but have got to
wrap each up carefully. When get to the
church they must be unwrapped. and then when
they brought back the process has to be gone
all again You can just imagine how much
extra time all this takes. and. in spite of all our
care, and the fact that we have oil stove burn
ing in the van. we lose many plants. 1 tell you
that house and church floral decorations come high
just now. Then. cut flowers expensive too.
You see. all the greenhouse men have to burn lots
Of additional coal 1 have only house here,
but / using a and half Of coal a day.
Sometimes don't use that much in a week. Then
there is great loss in shipping flowers in this sort

obliged to charge high prices and even at that we
