AMERICA'S GREATEST
HOUSE OF WORSHIP.
Cathedral of St. John the Divine On
MorningMide Bights, X, Y.
New York, Dec. 2.—Work on the Ca
thedral of St. John the Divine, on
Morningside Heights, the largest
church edifice In this country, received
anew impetus last weejt by the plac
ing in position of the low'hr half of the
eighth and last huge pillar which will
support the opal. Efforts 'are now be
ing made to obtain the necessary funds
to complete the great choir and “cross
ing,” which are to have a seating ca
pacity of 5,000 persons.
It is estimated that $1,000,000 will be
required to finish the work of roofing
over the choir and the crossing of
nave 'and 'transept. Of this amount
$200,000 was pledged conditionally last
week by a wealthy citizen of New
York, whose name is kept secret for
the present, and SIOO,OOO was uncon
ditionally pledged by another citizen,
whose name also is not revealed.
The upper part of the eighth pillar
will be set in position in 'a few days,
and if the balance of the $1,000,000 need
ed be forthcoming work on the struc
ture will be rushed. Arrangements are
being made to begin actual parochial
work on Dec. 26. when the Chapter of
St. John will start on Its duties, and
the new, constitution will go Into ef
fect.
Detailed plans for the work on the
various cifapels forming part of the
cathedral are being rapidly finished.
Mrs. Gordon King has given sufficient
money for the building of the El
Columba, or British Rite Chapel, which
will be the third on the north side,
and work on this will be begun soon.
THeTmPOLITE SUN.
Tis pleasant of a summer mom, when
not more than half awake,
To lie abed and let the dreams and
visions of the future make
Our lives the color of the rose—our
plans so fair they seem.
And as the moments quickly pass, we
dream and smile and smile and
dream.
But one can’t muse on visions fair,
no matter how he tries.
When the sun In the morning puts his
fingers In your eyes.
The world knows the old adage of thi
early worm and bird.
The sage advice of Franklin from our
parents we've oft heard.
But for all that we like to doze and
wake and doze again.
To take from the busy work day a few
minutes more—but then,
You might as well throw back the
sheets and with one Jump arise,
When the sun In the morping puts his
lingers in your eyes.
—Estelle Pease.

HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH HITTERS
JFL J9£©l^Ee.
By WALTER NOR TON.
Passion decreed an immutable law with visions of despair,
Where zeniths of pleasure and sorrow appear.
Where Faith and Hope are born but disappear,
Where caverns large and dark grow colder in their time;
And yet poor Mortals leisurely still wander in this clime;
But e’er they’ve been bourne to that mystical throne,
They sigh and say—Tis strange!
For They have but seen what might have been—
A glimpse of Life—lt’s change.
OBJECTIONS TO
THE KINDERGARTEN.
By a Kindergartner.
Repeatedly the objection is made by
primary teachers “kindergarten chil
dren make poor pupils; they always
want to play.”
There is something to be said on
both sides. Over-zealousness on the
part of a kindergartner does undoubt
edly lead, at times, to undue stimu
lation, with the result invariably
brought about by any excess—craving
for further stimulation. In other
words, poor kindergarten work may
account for Ahe difficulty.
On the opposite side, the objection
is frequently born of imperfect pri
mary cdnditlons, some of them be
yond control of the teacher In charge,
such as crowded rooms, large classes,
poor ventilation, uncomfortable seats —
all menaces to the freedom which kin
dergarten children are unconsciously
led to exD©ct.
Sometimes lack of co-operation be
tween the two departments will be
found at the root of the discomfort.
They are so nearly one in many
way* that each should constantly con
sider the other, the kindergartner
studying the requirements of the pri
mary school, th.e primary teacher
knowing the needs in the or
ganism of the child by kindergarten
training. Along many lines this mu
tual helpfulness is quite apparent, but
In one direction there Is often a clash.
The normal child is above all things
active, and to succeed with him in
the lower grades of school his work
must be given in active, not passive,
form. Mind and body constantly re
act upon each other and after impres
sion is received nature demands ex-
pression.
The appropriateness of the outlet Is
not always apparent at first glance, as
is proven by the following: incident
In a Chicago kindergarten some years
ago:
A beautiful Easter story had been
told and the children seemed much Im
pressed by Us spiritual import. The
kindergartner was beginning to feel
gratified by the marked effect when
one child burst out with enthusiastic
vehemence: "If I had a gun I'd go
shoot a bear.” Naturally, she was
mystified, but determined to find out
the cause of so extraordinary a cir
cumstance, investigated the child's sur
roundings and found that a father and
uncle, who were hunters, had made
"kltling a bear" one of the greatest
feats of man in the eyes of this little
fellow. The expression was unusual
In this Instance. It was the mutual
outlet, however, demanded by the
child’s organism, and was undoubted
ly wholesome.
If a legitimate ohannsl la not of
fered, or If an outlst suggested by the
child himself Is repressed, an unde
sirable one will probably result.
The kindergarten ohlld has bean se
trained in thie life making heblt of
setluri and reaction. Impression and
eajrreaatoii, that he demands it eveu
more exactingly than other children.
The primary teachers who object to
kindergartens are almost always those
who for some reason or other do not
find the active, the "doing” method,
practical.
In our own city testimonials from
primary teachers are abundant, and
only lack of space prevents our giving
them here.
WOOD ALCOHOL
Is Dangerous A* a Drink and In
Medical Preparations.
From the Medical Record.
Up to within a comparatively recent
period cases of poisoning by wood al
cohol were among the rarities of med
ical practice, for so long as the sub
stance was manufactured by the old
processes its offensive smell and taste
were sufficient to deter even the most
hardened drinker from using It to sat
isfy his craving for alcoholic stimu
lants. Since the time, however, that
“deodorized” wood alcohol has been
placed on the market, under various
names, the fatalities from its use have
gone up by leaps and bounds.
Not only may it be used tn place
of grain alcohol In the manufacture
and adulteration of spirituous liquors,
but it is also largely and widely used
as a menstruum tn many toilet prep
arations and remedies for internal and
external use. The reasons for this
practice are twofold. First, and that
which appeals most forcibly to hu
man nature, is the comparative cheap
ness of wood alcohol, it being untaxed
and costing but 50 cents a gallon, while
grain alcohol, taxed, costs at retail
$2.60 a gallon. The second reason Is
the ignorance of many manufacturers
as to the deadly nature of methyl al
cohol . Indeed, even among members of
the medical profession views with re

■v ii. itom <*. rr-itn m rtwe. e<. .m %a, mm, (a
gard to the poisonous nature of
methyl alcohol are widely divergent,
and some who have had no experience
in cases of wood alcohol poisoning are
openly skeptical concerning its reput
ed toxic properties. In order, there
fore, to decide the question. Dr. Frank
Buller, of Montreal, and Dr. Casey
Wood, of Chicago, undertook in the be
ginning of 1904 an investigation of the
subject, under the auspices of the sec
tion on ophthalmology of the Ameri
can Medical Association. The investi
gators found that about 175 cases of
blindness and about 100 deaths during
the last seven or eight years could be
directly imputed to wood alcohol in
the various forms in which it is man
ufactured. This estimate is a con
servative one, and only treats of pub
lished instances of death and blindness.
Drs. Buller and Wood consider that
the investigations undertaken by them
confirm the suspicions entertained by
many physicians that the fumes of
wood alcohol, under certain favorable
conditions, are a dangerous menace to
eyesight, and they moreover believe
that the consensus of opinion is op
posed to the statement of the niakeis
of the various forms of “deodorized"’
wood alcohol that its external use in
liniments, alcohol "rubs” In baths, in
cosmetics, hair tonics, perfumes, etc.,
is always devoid of danger to the eye
sight.
The practice of substituting wood for
grain alcohol in the manufacture of
medicinal preparations would appear
to be a most insidious and pernicious
means of poisoning, and the sale, not
only of methyl whisky, but also of
internal remedies and toilet prepara
tions, manufactured or adulterated
with wood alcohol, should be restrict
ed by law. In fact, there is every
reason why the proposition of Drs.
Buller and Wood should be adopted
that methyl alcohol In any of Its forms
should be treated as a poison, and
subject to the laws of the various states
restricting and regulating the sale of
poisons.
A feature of low street life In Tokio
is the "kuisha," or moxa doctor, who
applies small pads made of certain
dried herbs to the skin, then setting
them alight, the ensuing blisters being
supposed to be most effective as a cure
for various elements. Among the doc
tors’ remedies, too, are rhinoceros pills,
warranted a sure cure for tightness of
the chest, gnashing of the teeth and
depression of spirits, and “furidashi,"
a popular remedy for coughs and colds
which is said to expel the devils and
promote circulation; while musk pills
are prescribed as an infallible cure for
every ill, from a red nose to sea sick
ness.
