THE CHRISTIAN CaINRB.

Many people in this country who have had experience in trying to ''convert" the "hesthen Chinee" have come to the conclu- sion that he makes @ very crafty and time serving Christian. The San Francisco Bulletin has been Investigating this branch of the Chinese question. It finds that among the Chinamen, numbering from twenty 10 forty thousand, who have for years made part of the population of San Francisco, the number of actual conversions to Christianity are certainly very few. Ac- tive missionary work has been done among them. Schools have been established, pubs lie and private, and conscientious effort made for their mental, moral and physical elevation. Many Chinese attend the schools and acquire a smattering of the English lan- guage, because they are shrewd enough to understand that what they learn there helps them in their at. npts to displace American labor. The Bulletin continues: That is the sum and substance of the Chris. tiapity which they, as rule, imbibe. Di- rectly they have got what they went for and gone to work on ths strength of their ac. quirements, they return to their heathenism ss hogs to their wallow. They, as e rule, dc not like our people and our religion any more than we like them and their religion. Where one Chinaman is con. verted in the United States, the same amour, of missionary effort would convert and actually has converted 8 thousand in China If this teaches anything 1t is the expediency of literally obeying the divine command ts
 ''go forth" to preach the gospel, not to wal
 at home to have tho heather brought to us A number of the San Francisco minister
 concur in this opinion, but the Rev. Dr | William O. Pond writes @ letter to the Bul
 letin to say that in seventeen years the Cali fornia Chinese mission has enrolled fully S0
 converts; also that nearly one-third of tn
 336 members of his own church are China
 men and that they are as good Christians a
 can be found anywhere. Perhaps the trutl
 is that when Chinamsu professes Christi
 anity for what he can make out of 1t he
 very much like the 'Melican man" who doe
 the same thing.

NEW RAVENS SUMMER RESORTS.
 There are many people who have to stay in New Haven all summer. Some are too busy to go away and some too poor. However, they get along comfortably here if they know how. One of the chief summer re- sorts of this large class is ride in the open horse cars. For ten cents one can get conn., fortably cool any evening. He can go down to " Steamboat dock" end superintend the opening and closing of the drawbridge while the sea breeze fans his fevered brow. He can sit on the upper Green or on the steps of Osborn Hall. He can stand on Church street near the town pump. That is one of the coolest places in the city, and 1t is very seldom that there is not 8 good breeze there. And there is always good cool water in plenty. Another noted summer resort in the middle of the city for those who know of it is the corner of State and Chapel streets. Anyone who will stand on State street near the Yale bank building will be blown upon by as fine q breeze as he could desire. If the advantages of this spot should become as popular as they deserve to be an extra policeman would have to be placed there to keep the crowds moving.
 Of corrse those who are in Greenland, the Adirondacks, etc., look down upon such summer resorts as we have mentioned. But they are a good deal better than nothing and they don't cost much

Caught a one Hundred and Seventy.
 Five Pound Catfish.

From the Louisville ConmerciRlI
 Bill Anderson is 8 negro of chocolate hue, thirty years of age, who says that his oocu- patton consists largely of 'tjust fishing around" He fshed around considerably yesterday afternoon on the falls near the In- diana shore. He was using a cast net, and about five o'clock, in attempting to make a haul, met with such resistance that he fam cied 1t had caught on 6 rock. But it had not. The cause of the trouble WAS a mons ter Mississippi river catfish which had be- come entangled in the meshes. When Bill saw the size of the fish he was dazsd, and only recovered from his astonishment in time to prevent the bewhiskered giant of southern rivers from escaping, for it was full minute before the fish realized the state of his affairs.
 When he did, however, he made several mighty plunges that broke many of the meshes, and a hole big enough for freedom was almost finished before his captor decided to adopt desperate measures- Toe negro
 plunged into the swift water, grabbed the
 net and tried to pull it ashore. The ish was
 too strong for him though, and instead of negro catching "cat," "cst" was catching
 negro. To add to the interest of the situs- tion, both had become entangled in the net.
 After an exciting struggle, in which Ander- son was carried several yards down stream
 to the edge of deep and dangerous eddy,
 wnere he would have been surely drowned, he struck big rock and fortunately was able to brace himself against it. Then he
 reached over and caught hold of one of the big fins, which was foot long, and drawing
 his knife from his hatbsnd, where he always carries 1t, stabbed the fish in the head until it expired. Anderson was wet to the aru- pits, but he was also the proudest man in town. He sold the fish for twelve doilsrz and seventy-iye cents to 6 Twelfth street dealer, who shipped it 10 Eiizabethtown, where it will lend distinction to 8 colored picnic to-dsy.
 The fish weighed one hundred and seventy | five pounds, and was six feet two inches fr length.

 discovery in ethnological and masonic lore is announced by Rev. Hackett Smith, a rector of Lincolnshire. While In Lebanon MT. Smith was admitted to the most secret intimacy with the Druses for having saved the life of young man by sucking the venom of a snake bite from his body. He was initiated into the Druses' hitherto un- known mysteries, and in these the natives startled him, as @ freemason, by using the most characteristic of masonic signs. Hence he argues that the Druses are none other than branch of the great Phoenician race, whose ancestors supplied the Lebanon cedars for Solomon's temple.
 One of the rising industries of Philadelphia is the bogus coffee industry. An enterprising protected manufacturer of that city has dis covered process by which an excellent imi- tation of the coffee berry can be made from flour. The flour is reduced to dough, the dough is run through a machine which molds | it into coffee grains and the grains are baked l until they assume coffee color. In its ''cir- cular to the trade" this enterprising firm assures the dealer that he "can safely mix 15 per cent. of the substitute with genuine cof- fee" that he can largely increase his profits, and his transactions with the firm will be treated with the "strictest confidence"
 Professor E. M Skelton, of Kansas, who was appointed government agricultural agent of Australia, writes enthusiastically of the agricultural and mineral resources of the country. He says American farmers would be astonished a. the products of Australian fields. Two and three crops are often grown in one year from the same ground. There are no checks to crops from cold weather and no feeding season to be provided for. Fruits of all kinds grow in abundance. The light wooded country has the appearance of 6 beautiful park covered with a magnificent growth of grass, often waist high. Great fortunes have been made from the sugar in. dustry. In the midst of all its bounty farm products are very high; pork, 25 to 40 cents pound; COTE, 50 cents to $1.50 Der bushel; hay, $25 to $40 ton. This would seem to be @ paradise for the ''poor farmer"

A Remarkable Tree.


 Growing near the baths of Allisz, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland, almost within a stonsis throw of the most popular hotel, forty-6ve hundred feet above the level of the ses, stands the most remarkable tree in the world. The trunk of the tree is ten meters, or little over thirty feet, st the base. At about two yards above the ground 1t puts out on the south siteseyen offshoots. Bent and gnaried st the bottom, tsess- side trunkx- soon straighten themselves up and rise pre- pendiculsr and parallel 10 the main stem. This feature is not perhaps wholly unparsl- leled, but another most curious fact is that the two largest of the side trunks are con- nected with the principal stem by sub quad rsngular braces resembling girders.
 These beams have probably been formed by an ansstomesing of branches, which sl- though common enough among sngo sperms, has never been reported before in 8 confer (the remarkable tree in question being Er.) The places where the side girders enter the main trunk of the tree are so smoothly parked over ss to make 1t impossible to ss- certain the mosner in which nature formed the remarkable union.
 The adaptation by which limb, original ly destined to grow free and bear foliage, has been converted into living stick of timber is strange one, affooding new illustration of the power of nature 10 it itself to any and all circumstances.

strength as the violent game at which we break our legs and collar bones. In e pic ture of "coup franc," or place kick, the artist appears not quite to have understood what Is done. It Is unlikely that the French kick the ball from between the hands of the maH who places it, yet this 1t what the sketch appears to represent. "Touch" and ''off side' are recognized in the rules. Punts and drop kicks are also understood. There are also mauls, bnt of e courteous character, when the runner with the ball is touched, and has it down. What we are anxious to know is this-are these rules the ancient rulea of barette, or have they been framed on the Rugby model, with allevia- tionsl The latter seems more probable; nor plagiorized from the French. Probably, in practice, the mild rule about merely "touch- ing" the man with the ball will be found difficult to work, as it will be hard for any one to run more than a few yards without being touched. However, in spite of insular easily becomes too ferocious. In "The Match of the Season, in the Cornhill Asga- zine for May, there is a most amusing satire on the subject. The gouret of France is merely our hockey, shinty, hurling or by whatever other name it is called. There be also competitions in fencing, French boxing, running, rowing and other modes of exer | tioned. To adopt our cricket would be un- | patriotic, though the Dutch have done it. | and we cannot expect 6 challenge to Eton ol Harrow. But We fancy that French school
 boys eight at Henley would be warmly well comed.
 It is curious to find that in the Lycees
 they now think and talk of nothing else
 but the sports" They might do much | worse; but the French educational reformers
 will inevitably discover that games may very
 easily become the single and absorbing in-
 terest of the puerile mind. We know that
 only too well in England. The president of
 tho republic has given a magnificent champi-
 on cup, the object of a new sort of ambition
 in France. Perhaps it will be found in time
 that too much competition is the bans of
 athletics; that they should be enjoyed fol
 themselves. Nobody in his senses would
 recommend competition for cups at football,
 cricket or athletics among English schools
 The plan was tried in Scotland, and we have | an idea that the struggle was found too sb-
 sorbing. However, the great thing is te
 make beginning and to teach the French
 school boy the use of his legs and arms
 We do not grudge his calling football baretts | -a nation may as we'll speak its own lan'
 gusge-and we certainly do not intend te
 call hockey Ls Gouret, nor rounders L'
 Theque. Let us hope ''that the slovenly
 clumsy school boy will become a prehistoric I type," as the Temps ventures to prophecy.
