ENGLISH CHURCH iN AMsTER-
DAM BUILT ~ 1907.
Quaint Sanctuary still Stands and Is
IN Use as a House Of Worship
Associated with PHI
grim Fathers.

In the yeare of cur Lord and Sa-
viour 1907 and on the fourth daye Of
the month OF February after the new
stile about 4 Of the clock in the after
noone, was the Church in the round
begine hon opened in the presence Of
mijnheer de Schout, and Ds. Petrus
Plancius, minister of the Dutch Church
ltt Amsterdam, and att that present
was the pulpit brought in and sett up
for the use of the English Church att
Amsterdam publiQuely erected by the
consent of the honourable the Senate
OF the forenamed city Which their
love and bountye towards US Of the
English nation the Lord repay unto
them thousand folde in this life in
the life to come with eternal happi-
ness. Amen"
This extract from the curiously
worded record Of the English Re
formed church as Amsterdam the date
of the three hundredth anniversary Of
the handing over of the picturesque
old building to the English colony.
The church itself dates from about
1400, and was originally used by nuns.
In 1878, when Amsterdam adopted the
reformed religion, all the churches
passed into the possession Of those
who adopted the reformed faith, but
there is no record of the use made Of
this particular church between that
date and its opening for the use Of the
English colony.
Congregationalists will be interested
to know that this church existed while
the Pilgrim fathers were in Amster
dam. and that some of them worshiped
wiz In its walls. The church has been
considerably enlarged and altered
since 1t came into possession Of the
English congregation, and its appear
ance within is quaint but not inele
giant. Its present seating accommo
dation is about $50. This enlargement
was made in 1865, when many English
families took refuge in this city aftel

may have plenty Of outlets. but I
have noticed that new sewers are
needed oftener and expensive repairs
are a great deal more aggravating in
the hollows than they are on the hills.
There is only one sewer objection
that / know Of on the higher ground
and that is that the air in the sewers
has a habit Of moving TO the highest
points to escape. This is not always
the case but l have often noticed in
passing sewer openings that there is
quite an outward draft of disagreeable
steamy sewer odors that is anything
but pleasant. l have noticed this on

A fox was seen coming down a pass
in the hills followed by a rabbit, which
came along at a smart pace and
seemed impelled BY an oyerpowering
curiosity, says Country Life. Fox and
rabbit presently disappeared into a
patch OF covert, and almost imme-
diately the fox was seen to emerge
with the unfortunate rabbit dead In
Its jaws.
The whole tableau was witnessed by
persons Of unimpeachable veracity. one
Of them very careful observer Of

ian woman as it reposes in its coffin.
fhe woman, who was married, suf-

three weeks ago her death from that
disease was certified. whereupon her
husband had the body removed to its
present resting place Eleven days
later, however. the womans relatives
arrived from Russia, and at their re
quest the coffin was opened. A re-
markable discovery was then made
The body showed absolutely no traces

This is one of the side issues in build
ing that some men are prone to over
look. Successful men are the ones
who look ahead few years before
making their final arrangements to
build.
One Of the first considerations be-
fore starting to build is the drainage.
On this account an elevation is worth
a great deal. The sewers may cost
nearly as much per lot on high ground
as they do through the lower sections
Of the town, because usually the lots
are wider although the diameter Of
the sewer may be considerable less
Sewers start from the higher levels
and increase in size as they go down
