In a few weeks or so the wreckers will comE.They will tear down the two venerable brick and brownstone mansions that have stood hard by the First Presbyterian Church in West Twelfth Street for more than 100 years.No. 12, nearest the churchyard, was built in 1849 for James W. Phillips, son of the Rev. William Wirt Phillips, who held the pulpit next door from 1826 to 1865. No. 14, built at the same time as a twin, except for the’interior, was the home of Charles C.Tabers, a prosperous cotton merchant.The two buildings are the last remaining two town houses in this city of the many designed by Alexander Jackson Davis. A modest man, he conceded that the interiors of his Twelfth street designs were 'remarkable'. Even in their last stages of neglect the unpracticed eye can see that. They are lovely.The buildings had famous tenants, too, at one time or another. Thurlow Weed, nineteenth--century war- wick--he was called that in his own day for his genius in moulding political careers--lived in No. 12 from 1866 to 1882. Most of the important men and women of his time were his guests therE.Down the street lived Gen. Windfield Scott.Probably the chief feature of that old Weed house was the octagonal stairwell with the stained - glass skylight at tile top. The stairwell in the other house oval, but it has the same glowing dome skylight. In both dwellings you find rich stucco molding, handsome fireplaces, magnificent woods.Just outside the old Weed study there stood, in his lifetime, a handsome willow brought from St. Helena near the grave of Napoleon. It was uprooted long ago to make play place in the churchyard for the children of the church school. Incidently, alter the old mansion come down, a new church school will rise on the spot. The Davis mansions are now a five -trap.The most famous dweller in No. 14 was John Rogers, a nineteenth -century sculptor, a kind of Edgar Guest who worked in stone, His studio was on the second floor. It looks today pretty much as it did when he worked iii it from 1888 to 1895, turning out such groups as 'Checkers up at the Farm,' 'Fetching the Doc, tot'. A part of his work are in the church officE.Each has the Twelfth Street house address worked into it.Though church folk dislike the idea of having the old mansion torn down, and architects in town frown on the notion, too, they know they must go. The place is sorely needed for the children. So, one by one, the master works of the great architects vanish from the city--Davis did preliminary sketches for the old tombs, worked on the old Custom House, on many hospitals and colleages. All that will remain of his dreaming on paper, when the Twelfth Street Mansions go down in rubble, will be a few villas up in the Hudson River Valley.The two houses were not ______.A.of the same styleB.designed by the same designerC.the same looking from the outsideD.the same looking from the inside

The mighty Lace or Pike is taken to be the Tyrant, as tile Salmon is the King, of the fresh waters. It’s not to be doubted but that they are bred, some by generation, and some not: as namely, of a weed called Pickerel -weed, unless learned Gesner be much mistaken; for he says, this weed and other glutinous matter, with the help of the sun's heat in some particular months, and some ponds apted for it by nature, do become Pikes. But doubtless divers Pikes are bred after this manner, or are brought into some ponds some such other ways as are past man's finding out, of which we have daily testimonies.Sir Francis Bacon, in his 'History of Life and Death,' observes the Pike to be the longest - lived of any fresh -water fish, and yet he computes it to be not usually above forty years; and others think it to be not above ten years: and yet Gesner mentions a Pike taken in Swedeland in the year 1449 ,with a ring about his neck, declaring he was put into that pond by Frdderick the Second, more than two hundred years before he was last taken, as by the inscription in that ring, being Greek, was interpreted by the then Bishop of Worms. But of this no more, but that it is observed that the old or very great Pikes have in them more of state than goodness; the smaller or middle - sized Pikes being by the most and choicest palates observed to be the best meat: and, contrary, the eel is observed to be the better for age and bigness.All Pikes that live long prove chargeable to their keepers, because their life is maintained by the death of so many other fish ,even those of their own kind ;which has made him by some writers lo be called the Tyrant of the Rivers, or the Fresh - Water - Wolf, by reason of his bold ,greedy ,devouring disposition; which is so keen, as Gesner relates, a man going to a pond, where it seems a Pike had devoured all the fish ,to water his mule, had a Pike bit his mule by the lips; to which the Pike hung so fast, that the mule drew him out of the water, and by that accident the owner of the mule angled out the PikE.And the same Gesner observes, that a maid in Poland had a Pike bit her by the foot as she was washing clothes in a ponD.And I have heard the like of a woman in Killingworth Pond, not far from Coventry. But I have been assured by my friend Mr. Seagrave, of whom I spake to you formerly, that keeps tame Otters, that he hath known a Pike, in extreme hunger, fight with one of his Otters for a Carp that the Otter had caught, and was then bringing out of the water. 1 have told you who relate these things, and tell yon they are persons of credit; and shall conclude this observation by telling you what a wise man has observed:' It is a hard thing to persuade the belly, because it has no ears.'According to this passage, the best tasting Pike is ______.A.better for age and sizeB.bred from pickerel weedC.middle -sizedD.taken in summer
