 Another "confession" in the Cronin case. Woodruff's confessions need strong support in order to have any weight.
 It does not seem probable that the legisla- turs will get through this week, as was e1- pected. And the dog days continue to flour ish.
 There were funny things, even at Johns- town after the floods. Meat was scarce, there was rarely any butter, milk could be got but infrequently, and sugar was always lacking when milk was to be had, while fruit was worth it's weight in gold, but there was always plenty of jam. Bread and jam was the staple diet of the greater part of the population. Raspberry jan, strawberry jam, blackberry jam, orange jam, apple jam, peach jam, and cherry jam, every kind of jam, could be had for the asking by any suf- ferer.
 The recent refusal of the governor of Ten- nessee to honor a requisition of Governor Gordon of Georgia on the ground that the fugitive wanted had committed only 'a lit. tie pistol-carrying ofense" is earning hin wholesomely sharp rebukes from leading southern newspapers.

HARD T0 CONYERT

The Chinese Recorder is a magazine pubs hshed by missionaries, and in it some mis- sionaries have lately been revealing interest," missions in China.
 It is rather discouraging to read that in spite of all the mission work that has been done in China the number of converts, or communicants, in the whole of the vast pop. ulation of more than 100000 ,000 was only 34, ,555 at the end of 1888. The number of missionaries, too, is increasing faster propor- tionately than the aggregate of converts. In 1887 there were 1,030 foreign missionaries, with an average of SIS communicants each; and in 1888 the 1,123 missionaries had an average of sos communicants for each. Still the number of schools established by these Christian agents is increasing.
 It further appears that the number of con- verts is by no means proportionate to the number of missionaries employed by soci- ety. The China Inland mission, an English society, has 316 missionaries and 130 helpers with only 2.415 communicants and 153 pu. pills in It's schools. The Presbyterian mission from tEis country, with less than third a' many missionaries and fewer native helpers has 3,7SS communioants and 2,352 pupils fl it's schools; and the American Methodists with only 30 missionaries and 184 native helpers, have 3, ,9o3 communioants and 1 ,2SS pupils. The sect known as Bible Christianl has six missionaries and only three converts or half 8 convert per missionary. The For eign Christian Missionary society is worse of with only two converts to seven missiona ries, while the Quskers have succeeded il making no converts at all, though they main tain one missionary, his wife and two singl' women.
 It will be seen from these facts that it i costly and unsatisfactory work to try to con vert Chinamen.

 waiter at the Metropolitan Hotel on Washington street says there is a rat unusual intelligence which haunts the hotel kitchen, and, when occasion offers. steal food from the cook. He says this rat ought to be caught and exhibited as marvel ct the dime mu- seums. Several stories of sagacity are told about this rodent, of which the following is one:
 "A few evenings ago." said the waiter, "I had occasion to go down into the kitchen. It was dusky when I arrived, and as soon as my eyes would permit me to get used to the light saw large rat walk deliberately up to dish of doughnuts and begin to take them out one by one and string them on his tail as you would string beads. When he had put on five and loaded his tail all up, he turned around, took the end Of his tail between his teeth and walked off as If he were going to muster"

diameter, and the grass should not be al- lowed to encroach upon it. This spot can
 be manured and forked over, and be kept 30 that the roots can secure the needed nour- ishment from 1t. The amateur who intends to raise considerable number of plants and varieties will have 8 bed properly prepared for them. Our present varieties of roses, as already noticed, are the issues of generations of careful culture, and similar culture must be continued with them if we hope to have the best results. It is then simply waste and Q folly to plant out roses to take care of themselves; but this folly we see repeated every year. Some whale-oil soap and gar. den syringe, or a small watering-pot in de- fault of this last, are all that are needed gen. erelly to combat the insect of this plant. Al Cor winter protection, some straw, or sonfN 1ry leaves and soil, will usually make them As sure from the severest cold. Lastly, attentioAS 70 pruning; this operation, like the pruning O. the grapevine, appears to be quite incomprehensible to many persons, and as result we see all about us rose bushes growing up and producing some small how- CTS at the extremities of their branches. In time the plants become so tall that it Is quite inconvenient to give them shelter in the cold season, and they are finally left to struggle with old Boreas as best they may. As result they become unhealthy, insight ly, prey to mildew and insects, and finally are removed to the brush pile. But in the meantime the owner has not learned many things from this object-lesson before his eyes for years. If he plants another rose bush 1t will be treated in the same way.

NEW STYLES IN DOGS.
MastiAs, Bulldogs and Terriers Have
 Taken she Place of tho Pug. Ipo1, ;r, tl,o pl,iIa alpl,ia 1irnor

Taken she Place Of tho Pug.
 lBab in the Philadelphia Tmes.1
 Just as there is in bonnets. Now nothing is soscorned as Spitz or the pug. The mas tiff, the bulldog, the bull terrier or the fox terrier are Ia mode. The little Blenheim States is, in a round about way, connected with the Marlborough family. The bulldog, when at all emenable to tho wiles of wo- mankind, is gentle and very affectfonate, al- though it looks so wicked. But of the en- tire procession of zmart dogs the fox terrier undoubtedly, metaphorically and really, takes the cake. His body should be entirely should be marked his tail should be bitten of just after his birth, and in time few hairs grow on the end of 1t that are plumy in affect. The fox terrier is frightfully ner- vous, consequently he is not good dog to take out driving, as he wants to meander all over the carriage and have you stop while he exchanges greeting with any large dog he may notice on the sidewalk. He has 8 weakness for large dogs. If he goes out for walk he loses no opportunity to in- gratiate himself with bloodhoands, mastiffs or Newfoundlands. His overtures are sel- dom met with enthusiasm, and he is apt to bs sat upon materially after the frst greet ing. but this does not daunt him or affect his belief in human nature, as developed in great size. Men of his size he cares nothing for.
 It is at home that the fox-terrier is seen st his best. He adores children and spools of thread; he endeavors to iswallow @ bonnet pin with the same ease that he does chick en bone. He has rooted likes and disltkes, and he knows when he is being spoken to whether his name is mentioned or not, just as well as he knows the difference between ginger ale and champagne. He Is not a greedy dog, but he is a dainty one. He sympathizes with you in your woe by < series of most exuberant kisses, and when you are glad about anything he dances about you wildly, expressing his great glee at your joy. He will let small child tear him to pieces, will walk on two legs or on his ear to conciliate the baby, but from grown person permits no contemptuous trifinz, even with his tail. His memory is good. He never forgets friend or foe, and he has fine set of teeth with which to revenge himself. He is as mischievous Puck, but as faithful and as loving as only dog can be. I am speaking of that which know, and my ac- quaintance with fox terrier is more than intimate it is chummy.

THE LITTLE DERBY.

The new managers of "the little Derby" seem to be resolved to work the road for all it is worth in a financial way. There will soon be some new bonds with attractive pic- lures on them for sale, and those who believe in the future of the road will have chance There can be no proper objection to this if the bonds are honestly and legally issued. If they are not, and if they are issued on 8 ''marked up" basis, the further investors keep away from them the better. It Is evil dent that whatever interest the city of New Haven has in the matter should be carefully and sharply protected by those whose duty it is to protect it. The buyers of the road have already made enough out of the city,

 Sir-Oan you give us any good reason for sending all accommodation trains through from New Haven to Fair Haven and vice versa (with the exception of the Saybrook &C., commodation in the morning and the local express) without stopping either at Cedar Hill or Chapel street stations, when on the Hartford division there are six and on the Air Line three trains that stop each waya It would seem as if in justice to the patrons of the Shore Line that Cedar Hill might be made a. least flag station.

A WONDERFUL STUDY.
And now here is Matthew-Matthew the
publican. Christ could have done nothing
more evidently impolitic than to take this
man. with no reputation-except bad
one-with no contribution to make to the
cause except the contribution of increased
unnopularity, into His company. He
knew perfectly we'll what a talk it would
make. His name was already none too
good among the Rabbis for His followings
with questionable people. But actually to
take this publican into the circle of His init
mate disciples, Christ knew perfectly well,
when he did that, that the whole religious
and social world would be scandalized by it.
l do not find, however, that that made
any difference to Him. Christ was essen
tally and conscientiously democratic. He
recognized a man wherever He found him;
and when He found a man He paid no atten-
tion to his dress, or his house; or his bank
account or his position or the popularity or
the prejudice which surrounded:him. That
is what brotherhood means. Brotherhood is
not simply kindly feeling of the rich to-
ward the poor, it is not merely touch OF
charity in the heart of virtue at the sight OF
vice, it is not satisfied by methods of CO.
operation or by settlements by arbitration;
brotherhood begins with a recognition of
manhood and womanhood. The way out in
these unbrotherly days is along the path of
sympathy; that is of genuine fellow-feeling.
Any consideration of aristocracy which
keeps man from recognizing another man
as big, as good as himself because he works
in a mill, which keeps woman from recog-
nizing the equal worth of another woman
because she sells cloth by the yard behind
counter is unchristian. Christ came to
drive that detestable feeling out of the
world. suppose you know that "phari-
see" means zone who separates himself" !"
Christ preferred this despised publican over
all the pharisees in Judea.

And in furnishing it with the most complete
and extensive system of public improvements
in Allegheny county, outside the cities, includ-
ing sidewalks, sewers. water. natural gas and
electric lights, and it now takes pleasure in
calling the attention of wide-awake builders
and investors to the opportunity afforded them
by the great and growing demand for resi-
dences and business houses at Wilmerding.
This demand comes especially from young and
enterprising men and firms who have not suffi-
cient capital to both build and stock large
stores. but who are able and willing to pay
handsome rent for adequate facilities, or pur-
chase buildings outright on long time. Many
houses are now in course of construction. but
not enough to fill 10 per cent of the require
ments.
Information as to the kind and size of houses
in greatest demand cheerfully furnished by
the company, and special prices given on lots
sold for immediate Improvement
For further particulars call on or address
