Worries Richest Church.

Trinity church, New York, which
has Just voted a handsome donation
to the preservation fund of st. Pauls
cathedral, is the most richly endowed
parish in the world. 1t has fast.in-
creasing income-not fully disclosed,
but believed to be about $2,5OO,000 a
year-which is mainly "unearned In
crement," derived from lands given by
Queen Anne that have become price
less through the growth of the city
during two centuries. Out Of this
vast revenue are paid the stipends of
the clergy and choirs of Trinity and of
eight daughter churches, and the ex.
penses of Trinity hospital and Trinity
cemetery, and contributions to poorer
parishes, and charitable institutions.
Some time ago Trinity vestry voted
a subscription towards the repair of
the organ of Bow church, Cheapside,
England, and were delighted with two
return gifts, which consisted of
Roman tile and chunk of stone from
the old Norman crypt.

MEASURED BY INCHES
LITTLE THINGS GOVERN LIES
SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
A Little Contemplation Will Show the
Truth of the Statement-Man Who
Considers 1t Is the One
Who Succeeds.

Everybody knows what little thing
an inch is, but few realize what a big
thing it is. Few stop to contemplate
what the difference of an inch really
means, says writer in the New York
American. A tailor knows when an
inch too much or too little has cost
him anywhere from SIS to $50. A
dressmaker knows when an inch too
little of the goods on hand may cause
her, after an arduous day of planning
to abandon chosen pattern for an
other An engineer knows when his
train, with its carload Of human
freight, has gone one inch off the track
over a precipice.
Some men have minds one inch off
the judgment track, and that causes
all their schemes, gigantic and bril-
liant as they may be, to run amuck.
Every calamity and every success in
life is controlled by inches.
Men rarely 60 to their doom in an
hour; it is inch by inch.
All successes are won inch by inch.
AS inch by inch the waters of life
creep in to ingulf us, SO inch by inch
the obstacles that impede our progress
move aside.
The man who attempts to leap over
the inches to reach his goal gets there
with broken leg.
The word inch has a forbidding
sound. 1t is because it holds us in it's
clutches. We cannot ignore an inch,
or it Immediately thwarts our inten.
tons. Every simple thing is performed
by man, as the saying goes, within an
inch of his life."
All diseases move inch by inch. Be-
fore the scarlet fever breaks out in
child It has been developing inch by
inch for nine days.
A man built magnificent structure
the other day at an enormous expense,
and when it was proved that he had
encroached few inches on the land
of another man the law accorded the
other man the right to pull it down.
The oyerstepping of an inch in the
proprieties Of life brands us. If girl
In a theater laughs an inch too loud
the audience looks around and puts
upon her the stamp of mot a lady"
Art is controlled by inches. A pic.
ture an inch too high or too low, and
the entire artistic effect of the wall
upon which 1t hangs is lost.
Department is measured by inches,
and woe unto the man who fails to OBJ
serve its dictates. Even In the deep.
est grief, If one goes too far in his
wailings the grief is questioned, If not
ridiculed, and sympathy turned aside.
An inch too far in the poets flight to
imagination's realms and the world
laughs at his best efforts.
A single inch in any direction may
throw away mans chances for the
worlds approval, and yet some men
do not even consider the yards.
1t Is the man who considers life
within an inch of every detail present
ed who succeeds.

taken his stand and finally fallen; but
from the place where he sat there was
no getting any possible view of that
part of the wall or of anything con-
nected with it; and so, with every ap.
pearance of satisfaction at being al.
lowed in the room at all, Sergeant
Doolittle from headquarters drank the
judges wine and listened for the
judges commands.
Sergeant, l have lost a faithful

Salts Down Eroa Chorus.

iahy, Cal, boasts of magician
who has power over frogs. This mar
vel, a woman, lives where the ground
is low and the water gathers when 1t
rains. And in the rain the frogs come
home to roost and to croak.
Mrs. M. H. Murphy, who lives on
Mary street, stood the serenade the
first night very well. But the second
night her nerves got ragged around
the edges and on the third night she
racked her brains for a way to silence
frogs.
Her subconscious mind came to the
rescue and suggested remedy she
first heard in childhood. This was
to feed the melodious frogs with salt.
Five pounds of salt covered Frogtown
next morning and the singers moved
out.

What do you mean by that, your
honor?"
"They are human, are they not?
They have instincts of curiosity like
the rest of us. How can ! be made
sure that they won't yield to the temp
tation of their position and climb the
fences they are detailed to guard?"
"And would this be so fatal to your
peace, judge?" A smile tempered the
suggestion.

Thank you, sergeant; | appreciate

as any man can who has met with

HE was very powerfully built
man. 1t took a sixty-horsepower rae.
ing machine, going at a high rate of
speed, to kill him."
A spasm of grief or unavailing re-
greet crossed the judges face as his
head sank back again against the high
back of his chair.
Il should like to ask question"
he finally observed. "You were not at
the inquiry this afternoon, and may
not know that just as Bella and the
crowd about him turned this corner
they ran into a woman leading small
child, who stopped the whole throng
in order to address him. | saw that
woman myself, earlier. She was in
this house. She was in this room.
If you will consent to look for her,
and If she is found and no stir made,

CHAPTER II.
The Yelled Woman,

The intensity of the question, the
compelling, self-forgetful passion of
the man, had a startling effect upon
the crowd of people huddled before
him. With one accord, and without
stopping to pick their way, they made
for the open doorway, knocking the
smaller pieces of furniture about and
creating havoc generally. Some fed
the house; others stopped to peer in
again from behind the folds of the
curtain which had been only partially
torn from its fastenings. Miss Weeks
was the only one to stand her ground.
When the room was quite cleared
and the noise abated (it was fright
full experience to see how little the
judge had been affected by all this
hubbub Of combined movement and
sound she stepped within the line of
his vision and lifted her feeble and
Intellectual hand in an effort to attract
his attention to herself.
But he did not notice her, any more
than he had noticed the others. Still
looking in the one direction, he cried
aloud in troubled tones:
"She stood there! the woman stood
there and saw her! Where is she
now?"
She is no longer In the house."
came in gentle reply from the only one
in or out of the room courageous
enough to speak. "She went out when
she saw US coming. We knew that she
had no right to be here. That is why
we intruded ourselves, sir. We did
not like the looks of her, and so fol-
lowed her in to prevent mischief"
How dared you! How dared she!"
Then as his mind regained its full
poise, And how. even If you had the
temerity to venture an entrance here,
did, you manage to pass my gates?
They are never open. Bella sees to
that"
As she watched she saw his eyes,
fixed up to now upon her face, leave it
and pass furtively and with many hest
tations from object to object, toward
that spot behind him where lay the
source of her great terror, till finally.
