FOREIGN MISSIONS.

1t is the opinion of the natural man in
his unenlightened state that foreign mis-
sions are of no use, that the money spent
to maintain them is thrown away, and that
| the missionaries are wasting their time
and might better stay at home and work
The natural man is apt to Judge the useful
ness OF all enterprises by their capacity to
pay an annual cash dividend. Enterprises
| that pay large cash dividends he thinks
well Of, and enterprises that don't he shifts
at. Foreign missions seldom pay cash div
idends and very seldom earn the natural
mans approval. Tell him that the Chi
nese are numbering missionaries, and he
| replies that there is no reason why the
missionaries should not stay at home where
they would be safe. Being unconverted
himself, and having neither faith nor grace
nor expert knowledge, the natural man
cannot see tue necessity of converting the
heather. 1t is an axiom with him that
missions are curious extravaganza of de-
luded enthusiasts and fiscal imposition
1t is to be hoped that the natural man
may happen to read what Minister DENLY
said in a letter written last March to the
Secretary of State about the missionaries in
China. Mr.. DENLY has lived long in China,
and knows whereof he speaks, and he says
it is indisputable that the Chinese are
enormously benefited by the labor of the
missionaries. lie speaks with enthusiasm
of the hospitals, schools, colleges and or
phan asylums which the missionaries have
started. OF his own knowledge he says
that the missionaries are self-sacriicing and
devoted, that their influence is beneficial,
that they are leaders in charitable work,
that they make converts, and that such
converts are mentally benefited by CONVEX
sion. He says that Protestant and Catholic
missionaries from nearly every country in
missionaries from nearly every country in
Christendom are at work in China, and, in
Under treaties they have right to be in
China, and no amount OF antagonism can
keep them out. Mr.. DENLY says there are
supposed to be 10000 Protestant converts
and 30, 600 Catholic converts, and he speaks
of there being about 1000 missionaries
who he thinks, should not only be toler-
ated, but should receive protection from Of
licials and encouragement from other peo-
ple-Harper's Weekly.

TALKING SLANG.

This "sermonette" Is especially for you,
dear girls. The advice could be put in
three words-Don't do it. Possibly there
might come an occasiOn-say once in life
time-when good round bit of the
genuine article Slang" would prove funny
But to hear vulgar words used by gentle
girl is invariably shocking. | remember
passing two girls in the street, and hearing
one of them say, ''Ill bet you a quarter "
1t gave me a SILVER. And when group OF
schoolgirls fill their conversational alas,
they often do-with one slang phrase after
another, the effect on an outsider is pain
fully disagreeable.
The habit of talking slang grows rapidly.
1t is like reporting bit of scandal Have
you never noticed if you say an unkind
word against neighbor, how quickly IA
chance comes to say another? And with
just that same appalling case habit of
using carless coarse words increases
Weeds grow rapidly.
There is plenty Of good strong English
to give expression to wit, drollery, indig-
nation or sympathy without recourse to the
phrases which belong to horse Jockeys
gamblers, tipplers and vagabonds. The
street arab picks up slang as he does the
ends of old cigars from the gutter. Surely a
well-bred girl is not on the same level in her
speech and manner. Why should she use
vulgar words any more than she would
stain her hands?
There ought to be something akin to
flowers in IA fresh young girl. She need
not be prudish nor priggish. No one wishes
her to say "prunes and prisms' TO coax
her lips into the proper curves But refined
and dainty in speech as we'll as in dress
she surely ought to be. Won't you please
think about it for five minutes, and seq if
you do not agree with me?-Mary S. Nc

MATE IN TWO MOVES.
How a Chess Problem Restored a Father
to His Family.

Here is true story which puts any
detective hero Of GabOriau's invention,
or even the later Sherlock Holmes, into
the shade On the 18th of March last
The Sun printed, under the heading of
"Chess as a Detective" the following
letter from young man in Manchester,
England, who had selected this ingen-
ious plan, now completely successful,
We rejoice to say, for finding his lost
father:
To the Editor If The Sun:
SIR-Three years ago my father left England,
and ~ months afterward he sent us a copy Of
The sun; also a letter from Jersey City, but it
did not contain any address We have not
heard from him since and are very anxious at
home.
In the paper which he sent noticed some
chess problems by composers in England, so ]
thought if you would insert consecutively the
inclosed problems, which have composed my
self, they would be likely TO attract his atten.
ton with my name being at the top.
The problems are two movers, and by insert.
ing them you would confer a great favor.
DANIEL r. BROOKS.
Manchester, March 2.
Two chess problems of unusual merit
were printed at the same time, in the
hope that they might fall under Mr..
Brooks eye in this country and be the
means of restoring communication be.
tween him and his family. 1t worked
to charm. Yesterday we received this
second letter from Manchester:
To the Editor of The Sun:
SIR-On the I'd inst. l wrote asking you &c
insert some chess problems in your valuable
paper with the object of attracting the atten
ton Of long lost father.
Allow me to express TO you my gratitude fol-
your kind assistance and prOmptness in accel
ing to my request and for the prominent posi-
ton you accorded TO same.

kind cooperation success has attended my ef

NEWS FROM CUBA.

Expects the Whole Island to Rise
Against Spain.
NEW YORK, May Thames Pur-
man, who for seven years has been
connected with Das Hermanos
sugar mills, in Las Cruises, one of
the central districts OF Cuba, has
just returned from that belligerent
little isle and gives some interesting
Information regarding the progress
of the rebellion against Spanish
rule. According to his account
Gen. Campos has an herculean
task before him in bringing Cuba
to a state of submission. Purman
travelled pretty much all over the
country in the course OF his bust
ness. He has been able to see the
strength of the troops and has
also learned through conversation
with the people on the island how
much sympathy the insurgents are
receiving and what their chan ces
are for ultimate success. Said he:
"Everything points to an ultimate
success for the uprising. | am not
a Cuban and speak impartially.
War does not now seem to have at
tanned formidable proportions, but
/ expect to hear, inside Of month,
that the whole island will rise In
revolt against SPAIN"

General Assembly of Presbyterians.

General Assembly of Presbyterians.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May 1.-THE
General Assembly OF the Presby-
terrain church has opened today's
session with divine service and is
the first business meeting largely
attended in anticipation Of the re-
port of the committee on control OF
seminaries, which is one of the
principal subjects before the as
sembly. DR.. w. l.. McEwan, Of
Pittsburg, for the committee on ar
rangements, delivered the address
of welcome, after which the bust
ness Of the session was taken up
and the standing committees an
nounced as far as they had been
made up.
The report Of the committee on
seminary control showed that
Omaha and Dubuque had adopted
all the recommendations Of the
general assembly. The committee
had held meetings with the board
of trustees of Princeton, McCor.
mick, Auburn, Weston, Lane, Dan
Vile, San Francisco, Newark and
Lincoln universities, and reports
that substantially the powers
sought to be conferred on the gem
eral assembly are now possessed
over all seminaries.
On motion the discussion OF the
report was made a special order
for $3.50 o'clock this afternoon. The
report of the committee on the
Lane seminary at Cincinnati was
heard. The committee reported it
had visited the seminary under in
structions to confer with the board
of trustees concerning the reorgan-
iZatlon and to advise with them in
a friendly manner. The meeting
held with the trustees on the
22d day of November, 1894, was
harmonious. After hearing the
statement Of the board OF trustees
as to the financial condition of the
seminary, its attendance from 1887
to 1895 and its prospects for the
future, the committee decided to
report to the general assembly
these facts and to recommend ad-
ditiOnal teachers needed. They
found the board Of trustees ready
to do all in their power to bring
the seminary into closer relations
with the church. The recommen-
dations of the committee were that
the board be urged to continue and
that additional teachers be en-
ployed and thus bring to the semi
nary the support Of Presbyterian
clients. This report was received
and will be discussed later.

much better idea than that uf 10 years ago,

fashion, of cutting the bodice abnormally
long on the shoulder, thus causing an I'M
slightly baggineSs around the armhole
However, with either epaulet or long
shoulder seam, women are condemned to
put on the hat before the gown, as it is
impossible to lift the hands to the top of
the head. The high shoulders of late years
have rather spoiled us for this restraint
but we shall doubtless soon grow aocus-
toned to it.
These dropping shouldered gowns, how
ever, although unmistakable indications Of
the tendency of fashion, are by no means
in the majority as yet, most of the spring
sleeves being gathered as usual at the

Current Weekly Comment.

BEANs.-The market is well supplied and
demand is light.
PoULTRY.-Eastern fowls are little more
plenty, best lots selling at lie. Receipts of
western iced fowls continue liberal and de-
mand has been slack at to 95c. Receipts
of spring chickens gradually increasing.
EGGs.-Receipts are heavy for this season
of the year Everything is urged for sale
Immediately on arrival. There is no specu-
lative buying at all, and the supply offering
is altogether in excess Of the demand for
consumption.
FLOUR. The market is weaker and de-
mand dull. The advance, as yet, has not
amounted to much, as but little flour has
been bought at anywhere near the top prices
asked. With wheat weaker, the mills are
generally more anxious to sell, and agents
are submitting some very low bids.
BUTTER.-There is nothing new to report.
Receipts are heavy and the bulk of the sales
are still for cold storage. The consumptive
demand is only moderate. Prices remain
about as last quoted. Fine northern cream
cry is generally held at 49, to 20c
CHEEsE.-There has been little change in
the condition of the market. Receipts are
increasing, but the supply of strictly fine
goods is still moderate There is a steady
dema nd for best grades. Best large north
ern range at q to Sc, but must be very fine
to reach the outside, Fair to good lots are
slow at to &C. Sage cheese is hard to sell
at over SC,
LUMBER.-Since our last report, the mar
ket has been less firm on spruce lumber.
This is due to the freer receipts by cargo,
and commission men have found it more
difficult to effect sales in consequence.
Ordinary random cargoes are offered quite
freely from $3.50 to $3.50 The car mills
are comparatively .frmer in their prices.
The cargo mills feel they are doing as well
on random at $500 as the car mills on
frames at $500, The demand for hemlock
and pine boards is fair. Box boards are
quiet. There is a fair demand only for
shingles. Clapboards are in better request.
The call for lath is moderate.
WooL.-The market has been active and
excited. Sales have been large, covering
nearly all grades. Dealers as well as man
ufacturers have bought, and prices have ad-
vanced all along the line on tieeces, as well
as on territory. 1t has been a good oppor-
tunity for dumping less desirable lots of old
wool, and many sigh of relief has gone up
as the "stickers" have at last been shipped
New western wool has been sold in blocks
at very slight advance over the actual
cost, but those who have owned Australian
have reaped a golden harvest. Australian
woods have advanced at least &c the secured
pound, and the best hope of the future lies
in Americas demand at the next London
sales in July.
