Especial Letter.l

Especial Letter.)
In the old Dutch church Of SIeepy
Hollow y. T., a memorable service
was held on New Years eve. 1t was
a watch meeting to commemorate the
three hundredth anniversary Of the
establishment Of the church. Every
thing contributed to the Sleepy Hol-
low watch night an atmosphere OF
weird picturesqueness There is no
apparatus for gas or electric lighting
in the cid building; it was lighted for
the occasion entirely by candles. as
in the days OF the fathers When the
last hymn had been sung-the first of
the new century-and the benediction
given, 1t occurred to someone in the
congregation that the candles used in
that memorable service were worthy
to be preserved as souvenirs. The
idea was taken up by one after an
other OF the worshipers, and in the
first hour of the twentieth century the
darkness of the silent winter night
was illumined by long stream OF i'm
promptu candle bearers issuing forth
from those historic doors. The night,
though seasonably cold, was still and
the candles remained lighted until
those who carried them had scattered
far and wide on their homeward ways.
A Valuable Relic.
1t is good to know that public in
terest has been thoroughly aroused to
the Importance Of preserving the mem
ories that cluster about this monument
of a fascinating and important past.
Both Sleepy Hollow in particular and
the people of New York in general owe
much gratitude to Washington Irv-
ing for this, and, after Washington
Irving, to the various organizations
which make 1t their business to res
cue and preserve from oblivion the
elements of national history that are
connected with the few material relics
Of early American settlements.
AS it is, the building itself is care
fully guarded against decay; services
are still held there in the summer,
when the neighborhood of Tarrytown
is filled with summer sojourners, and
on special occasions like that of New
Years eve. Most important Of all, the

survivors strengthened the breed and
firmly fixed the type. The thorough
bred racehorse is generally recognized
as fundamental factor in breeding,
and 1t is not strange that he should be
given first place in horse show and
other competitions. Rysdyk's Hamble-

male line from thoroughbred, and the

hxed the type almost as securely as the
raeehorse type is fixed and trotters are
produced with uniofrmity."

RICH IMAGINATION.
How Balzac Bant and Furnished Most
Luxurious Palaces.


Balzac, the great French novelist,
had remarkable imagination, and
lived in a make-believe world that not
only got into his books, but into his
whole outer life as well. He would
write stories Of men who acquired
riches in improbable ways, and after
working their methods out upon paper
would set about realizing them him
self, using for his capital the very
money which the stories brought him.
He once drew plans for a country house
gave them to a builder with instruc-
tions to carry them out to the smallest
detail. and went away on a vacation
while the work was going on. When
the villa was finished there was not
single staircase In 1t anywhere, and the
forgetful novelist was compelled to put
them outside, though he stoutly MAIN
tanned that outside stairways had been
part of his original plan When this
matter had been remedied he Invited
a party Of writers and artists to dino
with him In his new house. For
months he had talked of nothing but
his plans for furnishing it, so his
guests We're naturally eager to see the
wonders that he had been describing
with such enthusiasm. But when they
arrived at the grounds they saw moth
ing but mortar beds, piles of rubbish
and litter Of every sort that had been
left by the workmen. The garden,
which he had described as filled with
choice fruit trees, was occupied by q
heap of old brick, while a certain cor
ner which he had called the "hennery''
was given over to weeds and scrubby
bushes. Something was wrong, clearly.
In the house itself they found Balzac
excitedly scrawling words and figures
upon the newly plastered walls. All
was damp and chill and bare of furni-
ture, with the exception Of the dining
room. Here a few cheap chairs were
drawn about rickety table bearing a
poor array Of poorer eatables. Quite
ignoring their amazement and disap-
pointment, Balzac showed them
through his villa and explained his
plans. On this wall painting by IT.
tian was to hang, on the opposite one
picture by Raphael; on the third
space was reserved for a couple OF
Rembrandts portraits, while the door
way was to be draped with a splendid
piece Of thirteenth-century tapestry.
