RISES LIKE A SP|RE
New York Building Which Is
 Forty-FVe Stories High.
New WooIWorth Structure on Broad. way Stands 625 Feet Above the Street, and There Are Three
 Stories Below Ground.

New York-The accompanying pic ture is of the new Woolworth build ing to be erected on Broadway in New York. It will occupy the south west corner of Broadway and Park Place, the site of Mayor Philip Hone's famous Broadway residence opposite the park" It is estimated that this newest addition to New York great skyscrapers will cost $5,000,000. From the sidewalk to the top of the tower there will be 45 stories, the total height being 625 feet, exceeding the height of the Singer tower, just five blocks below, by 13 feet. Only one building in New York will be higher, the Metropolitan, whose tower rises 700 feet and inches above the street level. The only other loftier structure in the world is the Eiffel tower, 9S5 feet, making the Woolworth building the third highest edifice in the world and the second highest in America
 The frontage of the building on Broad way will be 105 feet and on Park Place 197 feet. The main building will rise to a height Of 26 stories. The tower beginning at this point will con- tain 19 stories. The tower at the pin nacle will be S6 feet square, larger in dimensions by about 20 feet than the Singer tower Below the street there will be three stories. Counting these, the building will actually have

VERACiTY OF THE BIBLE
After a Visit to the Holy Lana GNe" Skeptic Must Be Con-
 vinced.

One thing cannot fail to impress every visitor to Bethlehem, and' h. deed. to the Holy Land generally, who is imb6ed with true Christian talth and a proper sense of the sanctlty of the location and of the events that have transpired there, and that IS the more than remarkable correspond- ence between the things and places shown us today as having been assos ciated with the life and work of the Saviour and other events that enter into the structure of our religious faith and the descriptions and ac- counts of them. as furnished us ln the pages of the Holy Scriptures, They agree with them in every re- spect and it is impossible, after care fully considering and comparing them, to doubt their identity, so exactly are they in accord with the Bible narrative.
 The work in the fields, the arrange ment of the buildings, the very articles of diet and clothing of ancient days are plainly recognizable in the doings and surroundings of today. Indeed, where modern methods have not be- come obtrusive the manners and GUS toms of the people remain much the same as in the days of the presence on earth of the Saviour. Between the descriptions given in the Bible of localities, climatic and geographical conditions, distances, etc, of these times and those of today there is hardly any discrepancy. even a skeptic, considering this remarkable accord of circumstances with the Biblical narrative, cannot but be con vinced of it's veracity; to the believer 1t comes as wonderful conviction, a satisfactory corroboration or en- couragement to see things as those who described them so graphically saw them so long ago.-ColumbiaR Magazine.

AWFUL RECORD OF MURDER
Estimated That We Now Have an Average of 200 Week in
 This Country.

Chicago.-A well-known statistician makes the statement that we now have an average of 200 murders a week, or 10000 every year, in this country
 In Chicago there are 11S murders a year; in Paris, 15; in London, four times as large as Chicago, 20; while In three years the number of lives taken in this way in this country equals the total number lost by the British army in the Boer war. The number of murders in the United States has increased four and a half times in the last 20 years. The mur- der spots of the world seem to be Italy and Mexico. The number per year in Italy is 96 to the 100000
 Much of this killing comes from our polyglot population, gathered from all the countries of the world. jostling and crowding each other; the loose habits which people take on. and the natural passions that, in a moment of excitement, give rise to the taking of life
 To kill and maim seems to be an American ambition. The railroads of the country are killing 10000 people a year on the average The steel mills in many places have been great slaughter houses. The autos, too. are piling up their lists of victims, the sports are adding theirs, and other factors are entering in to swell the l total.
 Malice and passion are the causes of crime and these ought to be curbed. Only two per cent. of the homicides in the country are brought to punishment, and the reasons are aversion to capital punishment and the miscarriage of justice. Capital | punishment is necessary. however, as a deterrent Where it has been aboI- tshed murder is on the increase.

Hume tells of miser who, on his deathbed, summoned the magistrates and said he would leave them one hundred pounds for charitable pur- poses. No sooner had they gone than he had them recalled to know if they would take five pounds off for ready money. Another miser meant to dis. appoint his natural heirs and leave his money to a hospital. But the hospital had to pay for the drawing-up of the will, as he would have died intestate sooner than face the expense himself

Pensacola, Fla.-The tallest tree n the world so far as has been ascer- tained is an Australian gum tree of the species eucalyptus regnans, which stands in the Cape Otway range. It is no less than 415 feet high. Gum trees grow very fast. There is one in Florida which shot up 40 feet in four years, and another in Guatemala which grew 120 feet in 12 years. This corresponds to a rise of 10 feet in a year, or nearly one foot a month.

quite unnecessary and that he was not much hurt. So he made an arrange ment with the doctor The doctor was to take one leg and treat it as he liked. Elves would take the other and do nothing to it. And he would bet the doctor the amount of his bill that the intended leg got well first He used to boast afterward that he beat the doctor by a fortnight.

Early on the morning of December 24 the long awaited representation began. The vast market place was thronged. Every box filled with the gentry; the roped-in space in front out to within some yards of the stage front had been covered thicky with straw, and here the ground sat thou sands, while the open stretch immediately in front of and rather below the level of the stage was filled with crowds paradng back and forth Alto gether it was glorious and eager gathering.
 The learned doctor whose midnight toll had prepared the doggerel, and whose weeks of labor had rehearsed the players in their parts, appeared first in a short prologue. After exhorting his listeners to silence, he described for them briefly the substance of what was about to be presented on the stage, and admonished them to take to heart the lessons of the mystery. As he retired to a convenient angle of the wall of Herod's house. whence he might advantageously be in position for prompting the actors, deep lamentation broke out within hell. It Adam grieving over the sad and fallen state of man.
 Thus the play goes on for two days passing now to limbo, whence the prophets issue to foretell to mankind the coming salvation to Nazareth to Bethlehem and throughout the whole cycle of the nativity. When Christ is born in Bethlehem hell redoubes it's efforts, and Lucfer rolls about the stage in mighty orgy of blind fury The images of the idols in the temple at Rome fall crashing from their pedestals, and high above all the an- gels In paradise, or lowering their ropes above the fields of Palestine chant majesticaly the praises of the Creator and proclaim the Pax in terris."
 Curious is the final scene. It is placed in Rome in the chamber of Augustus. The emperor dressed like a French duke, is seated on a fancy chair loaned by the mayor of Rouen. Evidently he is i'll at ease. He is reading scroll of the Sibylline writings, wherein he finds distinct prophecy to the effect that Messiah is to be born in Palestine in Bethlehem of Judea More and more disturbed he becomes, and as he paces the floor of his cham Der he recites his woes In doggerel French, ac companied by wealth of gesticulations. The sun is already down beyond the gables to the west of the market place ere his monoogue comes to an end. With a sudden inspiration, he falls to his knees and wOrshps a figure of the virgin that mi raeuously appears on the wall. Satan and his crew give final salyo, and the crowd rises stifly to it's feet and Wends it's way back to the homes and taveIns of the city, much moved by the spec tacle it has been witness of for two whole days

the crashing of stones fin the thunder barrel and the shrieking of pipes calculated to nstil into the most obdurate heart wholesome fear of what the hereafter might have in store for the unre- pentent
 The final spectacle of the stage the carpenters were erecting was paradise. High placed above everything else, it dominated all the scene Its occupants, God the Father, God the Son and the blessed angels, hosted up into it by mechan- cal lifts, and when the angels wished to descend as for instance the night of the nativity, over the fields near Bethlehem, they did suspended on ropes 1t was hard being God angel for there was little chance to get down and stretch ones legs With these heavenly characters abode four others-Peace, Mercy, Justice and Truth, in imitation of Aristote's four cardinal virtues.
 Such were, in the main, the mansions and the characters for which the carpenters had to provide, and the eight days succeeding the mon stre" grand parade especially busy ones for these artisans.

wore a flowing gown of richest silk borrowed from the bishop On his feet long pointed toed shoes of doeskn, turned up and fastened to the knees with fine chains His neck was en- circled with piece of costly lace, and to give touch of the Oriental turban wound about his ifteenth-century hat and about the turban was festooned necklace borrowed for the sion from the goodWife.
 The shepherds were attired quite as sump- tuously, They wore slashed doublets and gor geous coored trunks, and the pipes upon which they played were of the latest fashion in French instrumentation. But the magi who journeyed in the shepherds company, far outshone their pastoral companions Beneath their gowns they gleamed respendent in bright From top to toe were they eneased in mail, and, since they could find no camels in Rouen, they rode on donkeys, that groaned beneath the burden Each magus was accompanied by page.
 And so the procession wound on and out of the portal of the cathedral of Rouen. Joseph and Mary, the surly innkeeper bearing a lantern, to designate that his part played in the night, King Herod, the Roman emperor, and lastly God the Father, God the Son and numerous band of angels who distributed amongst themselves the costliest of the abs, stoes. dalmaticas and cones loaned for the occasion by thu clergy of the cathedral and the coister of St. Maclou. Seventy eight of these principal actors there were in this procession, and their attendant squires and the lesser figures ill the drama numbered hundred 
 from out the cathedral and arrived at the closter it was well on the way toward noon of this six teenth of December, 1473
 At intervals during the course of the parade the crier who headed it stopped and blew a prolonged blast The procession halted, and from Its midst emerged a longyisaged man in the dress of a university doctor. In his hand he held a fat scroll Waving this aloft, he made procla- nation
 "silete silete! silentium habeatis,

The sherilfs of the town, the clergy of the cathedral and St. Macou, many of the rich burghers and the bishop himself had given of their time and money without stint, in order that the dear townspeOpe might refresh their souls with a spectacle of holy events And he the doctor, had composed mystery play Of
