Church's Vast Property

The Trinity church tract, in New
York city, contained about 81 acres
and was variously known as the
Kings farm, the Dukes farm and
the Queens farm. Van Twiller, the
Dutch governor Of New Amsterdam,
sold the tract in 1886 to Roelof
Jams, and by his will it became the
property of his wife, Anneke. She
died in 1868, leaving eight children,
all Of whom but one, Cornelius BO-
gardus, In March, 1870, executed
an instrument known as trans
port" conveying the property to Col.
Francis Lovelace, then governor OF
New York. Trinity church was In
corporated by royal charter in May,
1897. In 17O8 Queen Anne formally
presented the tract to the Trinity
church.

An Interesting Game

For this game each player is pro-
vided with a sheet of paper, upon
which Is a row of five or more let
tiers In the alphabet. One player
must be timekeeper.
At the word "Go!" all the players
write under A as many words as
they can think of commencing with
that letter. The timekeeper stands
watching the hands of his watch or
Of the clock, and at the end Of five
minutes he again calls "GoI' and
they commence upon B.
When five minutes have elapsed
players write their names on the
papers; then these are gathered,
and the words counted.
If desired, you could have large
sheets Of paper with all the letters
In the alphabet upon them.

their patriotism by leaving their au-

The Lapse

A woman of intellectual tastes
found It difficult to collect all the
facts she wished to remember. She
therefore secured the services of a
memory system expert.
Scarcely had the expert taken his
departure, after successful first

was heard at the front door.
"Who was that, Mary?" the wom-
an inquired of her maid, when the
latter returned from answering the
knock.

Mary, "it was the memory man;

Moonlight at the Poles

The Naval observatory says that
at either pole the moon Is above
the horizon continuously for about
two weeks, and then below the ho-

weeks. At the Arctic and Antarc-
tic circles there are some years
when for a few days in each month
the moon does not set, and a few
days when it does not rise; other
wise at these circles It rises and
sets daily. In the polar regions,
during the winter months the moon
is generally above the horizon when
it is full and below the horizon
when it is new, and the reverse is
the case during the summer months.
