The Saving Of
Old St. Johns.
What a Poem and a Petition Did. The
Successful Efforts to Prevent the Clos.
Ing Of One Of the Historic Chape!s
of Trinity Parish, New York.

AYATIONAL attention has been
excited over the threatened
~ abandonment of the old st.
Johns chapel Of Trinity parish.
New York. In the course Of vents the
region in which this historic editice is
located has changed from being a cen
ter Of fashion and responsibility to a
section of warehouses and stores doing
a business in produce and supplies Of
various sorts. Comparatively few Eng
lish speaking people now live in the
vicinity. For residents who attend St.
Johns, Trinity parish proposes to make
provision at another of its chapels, st.
Luke's, only about a mile away.
The vestry of Trinity has finally de-
cided not to close st. Johns altogether,
however, but to maintain evangelistic
services during the week and other
forms of work for the benefit of the
people employed in factories and ware

edge Of international law and foreign
usages. There is u strong sentiment
at Washington in favor Of promotion
from lesser to more important posts
in the diplomatic service Of men who
show capacity for such work. Among
the promising young men among u
representatives in other countries is
Huntington Wilson. who has been ap-
pointed United States minister to the
Argentine Republic and who has for
the past three years been third assist
ant secretary Of state. He is in con
sequence quite familiar with the pol
1cies Of the late head Of the depart
ment, Elihu Root. in respect to cult
waiting close relations with Latin Amer
lean states. Argentina has become in
recent years a very enterprising, pro-
gressive and we'll governed country.
1t is a long time since there has been
any serious rupture of the peace. The
last time that this was threatened. In
the case of the boundary dispute be-
tween Chile and Argentina, hostilities
were averted through the successful
efforts as an arbitrator Of William I.
Buchanan, then minister from the
United States to Argentina. The only
war cloud that hovers in the sky in
that quarter now is the one caused by
the rivalry between Argentina and
Brazil over naval ornaments. The
trade Of Argentina is very valuable,
and 1t is considered extremely impor-
tant that the United States should get
a fair share Of it. Altogether the man
who assumes the post once held by
Mr.. Buchanan has tasks of no small
consequence on his hands. The Argen-
tine people have the best Of feelings
toward the United States and look to
citizens Of the great North American
republic for help in their solution of
the many problems of self government.

Hygiene and Aercplanes.

Top floors are healthiest. On the
same principle to nest like birds among
the trees is a sound practice hygienic-
ally and one that is INDUCED in every
summer by princess Marie Of Rouma-
MIA, who own IN airy habitation that
was erected for her by the king. This
consists of a small two roomed simply
furnished cottage, with a kitchen. and
has for its support four big fir trees.
The idea is not original, but it sug-
gests the most convenient form Of
abode for an %aeronaut, as it facilitates
the process Of launching. Thus a man
could step out of his dining room into
the car. A possibility Of the neal fu-
fure is the aerostatiOn treatment Of in
valids. Instead Of sending his patient
to a health resort a doctor will pre-
scribe some hours a day in a balloon
at an altitude adapted to the case in
hand. In this respect there has al
ready been considered a perfected sys-
tenn Of balloon car with a library, a
recreation hall and a portable labora-
tory complete.-Harper's.

Frozen Clouds.

The weather man as he put on his
skates pointed to the feathery white
clouds high up in the blue sky.
"They mean fine and cold," he said.
'"They are cirrus clouds. They are
frozen-frozen water dust. Their height
is 10000 feet, and their temperature.
by actual kite thermometer test, is rs
degrees below zero.
"Some clouds are snow capped. the
same as mountains. These are the
cumuli, white and cottony fellows that
heap themselves up like mountains.
From top to bottom they often meas
ure 10000 feet, and when the top Of
them is a dazzling white it's a sign
there is snow there.'-Cincinnati En-

What Turks May Not Say.


AS for the fate of his subjects, the
decadence Of Turkey, the future of the
country-what does Abdul Hamid care
about that? The empire is his private
property by the right Of birth. 1t is
the patrimony which he has inherited
and which he squanders like a prodi-
gal son. T~urkey-it is himself! And
so he has forbidden in his estates
words such as country" nation"
people," '1iberty," revolution" to be
spoken or printed, more especially
liberty" and revolution"
a Turkish friend of mine, an old
scholar of the Mulkie school, which is
a kind Of political science school, says
a writer in the American Magazine,
told me the following little anecdotes:
In the French lesson, the professor
being a Turk, they were %translating a
page Of some French anthology. They
came to a passage where it was said
that 1.-THE butterfly flies with free
DOM" The professor was perturbed.
Doubtless he was afraid Of being de-
nounced by spies (who were plentiful
in the schools) for allowing the use of
so guilty a word as freedom"
"Stop," said he to the scholar who
reading aloud, and as the pupil
he had addressed stopped the teacher
fastened to translate himself, "The
butterfly flies with ease"

PcintIess Punctuation,

Massachusetts has a law, known as
the "semicolon law under which a
misplaced semicolon regulates the liQ-
uor traffic in the city of Boston. But
this is not a circumstance to an omit
ted comma, as instanced in the fol-
lowing act of the last legislature Of
Massachusetts: "Whoever operates an
automobile or a motor cycle on any
public way or private way laid out
under the authority Of law ~recklessly
or while under the influence Of liquor
or SO as to endanger the lives or safe
ty Of the public" etc. 1t is now as
serted that the reckless motorist can
go as he pleases on highways which
have not been laid out under the in
fluence of liquor."-Albany Argus.

PUTTING BY For the "Rainv."

The light of victory in his eye coun-

witheringly surveyed the sweet and
twenty damsel who was suing for
breach of promise Of marriage.

"about honorable dealings. Well, gen.
tlemen, l say let her look to herself.
My client tells me that she gave him
her solemn promise to burn every let

girl fell IN love, and their marriage

portance has been attached because of
increase in relations with the orient.
With the prospects so much i'm
proved for better relations between
Venezuela and the United States since
the downfall Of Castro, the attractions
OF the post Of minister at Caracas are
considerably enhanced. When the en-
voy and plenipotentiary from the
United States, william W. Russell, left
there in consequence Of the dictatorial
methods Of the executive now in exile
the prospects for his return to his
post seemed exceedingly dismal. But
events moved rapidly. With the dip
lomatic efforts which William I. Buch-
m has been making in his mission
to strai-hteu out the entanglements
caused by Castro's domineering and
grating policies, the Venezuelan post
may yet prove one much sought after.

Something Of a n

0O"e1nJH9 OF a snap.
Now come to think the matter DER.
1t really was too bad,
For Grandpa Adam didn't know
How large a snap he had.
He never did In all his years
Know just what he was worth
In real estate and other things,
For Adam owned the earth.
No rival offered to dispute
Possession of the ball
Or made a threat to jump his claim
His title covered all
For every ample continent
And island Of the sea,
With lakes and rivers in between,
Was his IN simple fee.
No tax collector came around
To say to him.: II fear
That you are getting off O cheap.
Well raise the rate next year."
And no surveyor kicked about
The fences OF his line
And said he'd have to move them in
Or there would be a fine.
The gentlemen who toll and strive
To own the earth today,
Although they partially succeed,
Don't have things all their way.
How they would toss their caps in air
Turn handsprings and be glad
II they could just be guaranteed
The snap that Adam had!

Sometimes the atmosphere Is clear;
Sometimes the fog fills up the air.

And tell us why the weather changes.
