This church was greatly enlarged
and beautified in 1877, but destroyed
by fire in the first year of the revolu-
tion- Fourteen years later it was re-
built, and the second church contin-
ued till 1876, when the present beau
tiful Gothic edifice was erected.
The oldest church edifice now stand
ing in Manhattan is st. Pauls chapel,
built in 1854. and completed thirty
years later. 1t faced the river, which
at that time came up as far as Green

The pulpit is surmounted by the
carved plumes representing the coat
of arms of William w.. who when a
midshipman worshiped in the chapel.
This declaration was the only sign of
royalty in the church not destroyed
by the patriots during the war.
In the churchyard are the tombs of
many famous men. Maj Gen. Mont

York, you will not fail to follow where

history, is buried behind the chancel.

Artists in Controversy.

There is afoot in Paris just now an
artistic controversy which, in certain
of its aspects, recalls the famous dis
putes which a couple of years ago
ragged round the statue of Balzac in
his night sheet. A number of frescoes
have been ordered by the state COM
mission for the Pantheon. The late
Puvis de Chavannes executed one

recently handed in another (|volun-

commission has rejected as being too
much out of harmony with the other.

scribed as a fine piece of work, full of

At 10 O'Clock, 8 o'clock and z
o'clock protracted services were held,
and to insure profound quiet, chains
were drawn across the street to pre-
vent traffic during the time the con-
gregation was in session. This pre-
caution was almost superfuOus, for,
especially under the regime of that
old martinez, Stuyvesant, the unregen-
crate who would take a jaunt'' in a
carriage on the Lords day, would
have occasion to repent of his frivol-
ity for a long time thereafter.
The first religious services on Man
haitian island, which in 1923 resulted
in the organization of a church, were
held in the upper story of the mill
which ground the colonists' grain. The
first minister was Jonas Michaelius
and the first elder Peter Minuit, direc-
tor general of New Netherland.
The first church edifice on Manhat-
tan island was situated on Pearl
street, between Whitehall and Broad
streets, facing the East river. 1t was
a poor, plain building of wood put up
in 1888 by the West India company,
that Dominic Bogardus, the second
clergyman of New Amsterdam, might
hold public worship in a more fitting
place than the loft of the horse mill.
This first church, which more near
1y resembled a barn than a church
proper, came to be looked on as a
disgrace to the city when compared
with the church ediflceS of New Eng
land, and Wilhelm Kieft, then direc-
tor general of the West India COM
pany, decided to build a better one
inside the fort, and near his own
house.
This church in the fort was used
for about fifty years, it's stone walls
often serving as a refuge against In
dian forayS and masSacreS. Then,
since it had become too small for the
congregation, it was decided to build
a new one in the meadow of Mrs.
Dominic Drisius. This frOEted on a
little lane, now called Exchange place
The lane was then called Garden al
ley" but was renamed Garden street,
and the church took the name of the
Garden Street church. 1t was plain,
square building of brick, with three
long narrow windows on each side
fitted with small panes of glass set in
lead, on which were burned the coats
of arms of the chief pensioners. A
large bowl of solid silver for baptismal
purposes was made by the silver work
ers in Holland. In the belfry was the
bell which had been removed from the
old church in the fort.

Affected by the Moon.

lar case of insomnia. She is woman
of perhaps so, and with the exception
of this queer aflment, is in robust
health. She is very sound sleeper
during the dark of the MOON but as
the new moon approaches it's first
quarter she becomes the victim of
wakefulness. She sleeps only at long
intervals in the night and only a few
minutes at a time
Her sleeplessness increases with
the. fulling'' of the moon, and by the
time the moon is full she is unable
to get even slight slumber. She re-
mains in this stage of wakefulness un-
til the moon begins to wane, when
sleep gradually returns, and as the
moon disappears she is able to sleep
longer and sounder. When the per-
fectly dark phase of the moon is at
hand she resumes her unbroken slum-

Moseow's sarbarie spIendor.


No one, SO far as we know, has
presented to the mind of the distant
reader a more vivid picture of the
barbaric sp1endors of Moscow than Ar
thur Symons gives in this passage
from his book about European cities:
"Colors shrek and flame; the Mus
covite eye sees only by emphasis and
by contrast; red is completed either
by another red or by bright blue.
There are no shades, no reticences,
no modulations. The restaurants are
filled with the din of vast mechanical
organs, with drums and cymbals; a
great bell clashes against chain on
al the trans, to clear the road; the
music which one hears is a ferocity OF
brass. The masons who build the
houses build in top-boots, red shirts
and pink trousers; the houses are
painted red OF green or blue; the
churches are like the temples of saw
age idols, tortured into every unnatur-
al shape and colored every glazing
color"

His Shaving Mug In a Tree.

The Webb City correspondent sends
this debated but interesting item"
regarding a storm which took place
near Neck City few days ago: 81.
N.-~Scott was not at home on the
night of the storm last week, hav-
ing gone to a neighbor's, some little
distance away, and being prevailed
upon to stay all night on account of
the threatening weather. When he
arrived at what should have been
his home next morning he found that
his new two-room house had disap-
peared, not a trace of it was visible
anywhere in the vicinity.
His shaving mug and brush, which
were in the house at the time of the
storm. have been found in a tree two
miles away. This leads Mr.. Scott to
believe that if he had been in the
house at the time he would have had
a long and perilous ip."-Kansas

The Knickerbocker Sunday was
strenuous one, although not so strict
as the New England Sabbath. One OF
the earliest regulations of the coun-
Gil of burgomasters and schepens was
to forbid the selling of wines, beers
and brandy waters" during church
hours. All customary occupations
were forbidden, among others men
toned being sowing, moving, building,
smithing, fishing and likewise all and
sundry amusements, cardplaying, tick
lacking, playing at bowls or ninepins,
and taking jaunts in carriages or
boats.
These prohibitions, which at first
applied only to the hours of service,
afterward included the whole of the
day, and the "schout," whose position
may be compared to that of chief of

Meat Bad Food.

The idea that meat is necessary to
sustain strength is a superstition of
the past. There are 25, 900 vegetarians
and physical culturists in Greater New
York. In the Brooklyn Physical Gull
ture society there are 500 young men
and women who are strong, healthy,
rugged individuals. They are perhaps
the finest representatives of physical
manhood and womanhood, and prove
that meat is not necessary to perfect
physical health.
