As early as 1659 the Dutch settlers at Kingston. N. Y., erected with tbelr own hands a little church building aud dedicated it the following year. When a regular minister arrived from Hol­ land tbe same year, writes Mrs. Nellie Crner Wallington In "Historic Churches of America." be found himself a dom­ inie witb a membership of but six teen souls and a salary paid In wheat, which was then legaj tender among these bumble tillers of tbe soil In 1694 a bell was Inqiorted and gave such pleasure to the mem Iters of the little parish that they used It to an uouuce tbe hours for meals for the farmers of the neighborhood. Tbe observance of one quaint cus­ tom was reminiscent of their former life In Holland—the announcement by the gray haired sexton between the ringing of the first aud last church bells that tbe hour for service bad ar­ rived. From door to door be traveled, rap ped loudly and cried, "Cburcb time!" Notices of all kinds, whether of fu­ nerals. christenings, weddings or mer­ rymakings. were handed first to the sexton, who in turn gave them to tbe clerk, who stuck them on the end of tbe bamboo pole which be kept for that purpose and reached them up to the dominie. At the termination of the service, ns In other Dutch churches, the deacons took up tbe collection witb long poles having little velvet bags bung ou tbe ends and a tinkling bell to wake tbe sleepers to the responsibilities of n contribution.

On Mark Twain's seventy-second birthday a Hartford clergyman said of him: "No wonder be finds happiness In old age. All tbe aged would be happy if they were as sympathetic and as kind as be. He Is continually going out of bis way to please others, and the result is that be is continually pleasing him­ self. Listen, for instance, to the quaint compliment he paid me the last time he came to hear me preach. He waited for me at tbe church door at the serv­ ice's end and. shaking me by the hand, said gravely: “ 'I mean no offense, but I feel oblig­ ed to tell you tbat the preaching this morning has been of a kind that I can spare. I go to church, sir, to pursue my own train of thought, but today I couldn't do it. You interfered with me. You forced me to attend to you and lost me a full half hour. I beg tbat this may not occur again.' 8cienc< and 8ound Fact. “The workings of the human mind when asleep are full of wonder.” re­ marked a scientist who was paying n visit to an acquaintance.

It gives among other thing­ advice to busbands, and tbat advice Is as good today Is It ever was. Listen." And he read: “ ‘If thou be wise, furnish thy bons*- well.
