sinulna and the Lunus.

1t is well known that singing, like
whistling. is a fine exercise for the
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit of
taking the big deep breath, which is a
primary requisite of any kind of sing
ing, bad or good, and the physical
joy derived from it will never allow
o to relapse into lazy breathing.

Wall Street, Old Trinity In Distance.

Trinity Is the richest Christian
church. Richer, indeed, than many of
the great corporations of the land
which have been stamped as predatory
institutions.
Heretofore 1t has been said Of Trim
ity that its invariable policy was "ad-
dition, division and silence" but since
DR.. William T. Manning became the
rector of the church things have
changed. DR.. Manning maintains that
there is a legitimate public interest In
the details of the wealth and manage
ment of the institution. Otherwise we
wouldn't know that Trinity's wealth
amounts to $4,000, 900.
Of course this isn't all in churches,
chapels and cemeteries, though prob.
ably such property would bring $45,
000,0 in open market. The church
and its neighboring cemetery together
with st. Paul's chapel a little distant
on Nassau street are put down on the
city's rolls as valued at $40, 500, 900.
exempt of course, from taxation.
ST. Agnes cost 81, 900, 900. I~nterces.
sion cost $500, 1000. Both Of these prop.
critics, as well as many others which
are unproductive because used for re-
lig1ous purposes, are owned by Trim.
ity. 1t is upon these many plots and
structures that, taking the city's own
estimation of the value, the estimate
of an unproductive wealth of $45, 900,
900 Is made.
Recently DR.. Manning had the hold
ings of Trinity announced in its nine
chapels; and the figures revealed that
the city assesses the property which
is held for investment at SIS, 900, 900
This assessment is scarcely %two-thirds
Of the real value of the property. In
addition there is enough other produc-
tive property to bring the total of $780,.

Have two women disappeared from

Or has the twain, surprised,
Daphne-like, been seen, hurrylng

lines the bank Of the river In the
neighborhood of Deadman island,

for a kindly fig leaf or a deserted
gunny sack?
