1879 Montague Street, Brooklyn.
Dear Sir -
Permit me to congratulate you upon the transformation
Which you are ctccting on the property Which you call Prospect
Park South. It is the first instance that has come 10 my atten.
ton where property Owners hare thoroughly improved resi-
Dental property before offering it for sale.
Your object scents to hare been to prouide the most sub
stantial and attractive improvements it is possible to obtain,
rather than to sell yOur plots before mourning any expense.
You are certainly making a most substantial contribution to
the dttractiueneSS of Fdtbush. Asphalt pauements so laid
that they wil not hare TO be opened are indeed a rarity, and
uiH furnish a ualuable object lesson for the entire city. I
wish you the success Which your enterprise certainly deserves.
Yours truly,
Signed ~ F. LEWIS,
Engineer of Highways.

The Chinene waiter.

The chief glory Of an average Chinese
inn is the waiter. This indispensable
functionary is the guardian of all your
interests for the time being. and when
you are not looking he dives into secrets
and matters of your own that seem to
amuse and enlighten him to your in
convenience and annoyance.
Like his confreres in other and more
enlightened countries he hardly ever
separates himself fycna tire inevitable
napkin. but his badge Of waitership is
very practical article with him.
With it in summer he mopY his damn
brow OF bare shoulders, while in win
ter. wrapped about his head. it protects
him from rain and wind.
The Chinese walters napkin is put
to all kinds Of uses besides those just
mentioned. 1t is used as dishcloth, q
mop with which to wipe the floor, a
cloth for cleaning and wiping down ta-
bles and duster.
But Chinese landlords are very rea-
sonable in their charges, which in q
measure compensates for the unpleas-
antness Of living in their inns

he kneels and prays2

He Pleads For Religion.

CONCORD. n. H.. April 6.-In his
proclamation setting apart April 13 as
fast day i'll this State, Governor Rol-
lins makes some sensational assertions.
After referring to the origin Of the day
he says:
The decline of the Christian religion,
particularly in our rural communities,
is II marked feature Of the times, and
steps should be taken to remedy it. No
matter what our belief may be in reli-
gious matters, every good citizen knows
that when the restraining influences Of
religion are withdrawn from commit
nifty it's decay-moral, mental and ii =
nancial-is swift and sure. To me this
is one of the strongest evidences of the
fundamental truth of Christianity.
suggest, that as far rs possible, on
fast day union meetings be held, made
up of all shades of belief, including all
who arc interested in tho welfare Of
our State, and that in your prayers
and other dcvOtions and in your mutual
cOunsels you remember and consider
the problem OF the condition Of religion
i'll the rural communities. There arc
towns where no church bell sends forth
its solemn call from January to Janu-
airy. There are villages where children
grow to manhood unchristened. There
IRE communities where the dead are
laid away without the bcnizon of the
name of Christ, and where marriages
are solemnIzed only by justices of the
peace.
This does not augur well for the FIJI
ture. You can afford to devote one
day in the year to your fellow men, to
work and thought and prayer for your
children and your children's children.
