TRN1TY's sP1RE WIS TALL

Before Adjacent Structures Made 1t
Look Like a Hole In the Ground.
When l was youngster," said a
mlddle-aged man to Sun reporter, 81
came down to New York. / got some
idea Of the size of the city by riding
In the horse cars. BY the way, 1t is
one of the few cities in the world
where you can still ride in horse cars.
II visited most of the show places
and went to all the theaters. went
to Brooklyn by ferry. l devoted day
to going to Harlem by the Sylvan Glen
or Sylvan Stream, or Sylvan something
on the East river.
But the thing that impressed me
most was the view from the steeple of
Trinity church.
Away up there, where the lookout
holes were, 1 could look down on the
lower part Of the city, could see the
river on either side, the upper bay and
the Brooklyn and New Jersey shores
| AT that great height l discovered
that others had been there before me !;
for Oh the timbers were cut the names
or Initials of my predecessors. l had
distinctiye way of cutting my initials
in monogram, and this monogram orna-
mented the smooth trunks of various
birch trees in the woods of my native
region.
This | cut on a vacant space high
up in the steeple of Trinity and then
looked at 1t and thought that daring
spirits Of remote future generations
would climb to the same height and
perhaps see it among the other initials
Il have never been up in the steeple
Of Trinity Church since that memoir
able ascent. But the other day | was
walking past the church and | saw
typewriter girls looking down on the
apex of Trinity spire from windows
that seemed to be several hundred feet
above it.
Il then thought of the monogram
had carved on the inside of the spire
and noted the location of the little
lookout windows from which l had
seen such a wondrous panorama forty
years ago.
Il had no inclination to make the
interior ascent of the spire. but from
my position on the Broadway sidewalk
l should say that If l had gone up
and looked out of the same little win
dows l could have seen at the farthest
about sixty feet, except in one direc-
ton, before the view was shut off by
walls of steel and stone.
Perhaps adventurous climbers will
no more carve their initials up among
the timbers of Trinity's steeple. 1t
would Involve less exertlon to cut them
on some beam in the cellar, from which
position the view would be almost as
extensive, and then to take an express
elevator and see how the apex of Trim
ity's spire looks from a point a few
hundred feet above it,

''The pulled out chest is a deIusiou
which has su"cumhcd to scientific
knowledge Of the human body" said n
drill officer. ut came into existence
purely for show reasons or from false
analogy. 1t was seen that men deep
In the chest were strong men. and the
old drill sergeants probably Imagined
that by making men throw out their
chests they would make them strong,
as well as make them look strong,
which is complete mistake. Instead
Of strengthening a man, pulling his
chest tends to weaken him, as 1t throws
a strain upon the heart. We now tell
men to be sure and not pun out their
chests. If you puff out your chest and
do dumbbell exercise you are to hold
the breath. That strains the heart.
Any exercise that prevents breathing
freely Is bad. Knotted muscles are
also wrong. You see a man with i'm
mense chest muscles and perhaps you
think he is really an ideally trained
man, but such muscles simply bind the
chest and tie the heart down" Read.

Mrs. Cleveland at Mother. oonrre..

Mrs. Cleveland at Mothers Congress-
One of the most distinguished recent
visitors to Washington was Mrs. Gro
yer Cleveland, who attended the Moth
ers' Congress as delegate. Many
greeted her with pleasant memories of
the days when, under the glitter of the
old chandelier, Frances Folsom became
bride in the East Room Of the White
House, where she reigned for eight
years as its gracious mistress. Her
home at Princeton Is regarded as n
charming example of the greatest
achievement of the American wife and
mother.
The years have been kind to Mrs.
Cleveland, and her counsel as a dele.
gate to the congress was listened to
with the interest and attention which
her words certainly merited. Mrs
Cleveland has been appointed by Gov
ernor Stokes Of New Jersey as president
of the State Village for EpiIeptics, a
State institution doing a useful work.
