INDEPENDENT PARISH.
Roman Catholic Changes at Terryville
 Announced.

Announced.
 Terryville, April 22.-The Roman Catholic parish of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, which for near ly twenty years has been mission sta ton under the oversight of the pastor of St. Thomas church, Thomaston, has been set off as an independent parish and Bishop Tierney has appointed the Rev. John P. Neale of Norwich as resi- dent pastor. The Rev Michael J. Daly, who has looked after the spiritual needs of the parish for the past ten years has been transferred to St. Joseph's church, New Haven. Father Daly's Protestant friends in Terryville will re- joice with his people that his talents have earned the promotion to a city church. Under his management of the parish the church has undergone number of improvements and has been within a short time newly decorated, and during the past year the buildings were tastefully painted. Father Neale will find an exceedingly pretty church with an active membership of about 300 souls.
 The church edifice was erected in 1882 under the direction of the late Rev. Eugene Gaffney. The lot was bought bv John McNamara, and citizens of the place, irrespective of denominatlonai lines, contributed generously to the building fund The Rev. J. w. Fones succeeded Father Gaffney and was fol- lowed by the Rev. M. J. McGivney, both of whom are dead.

Washable Shirt Waists.

Midsummer demands that generous
supply of washable shirt waists be
kept on hand, and the simple styles
now in vogue are easily made at
home with the use of n reliable pat
tern. The material represented in the
drawing on the left OF the large plct-
ure is red and white Scotch madras,
simply machine stitched and closed in
front with pearl buttons. The back
fits smoothly across the shoulders and
may be made with or without applied
yoke, the fulness at the waist being
adjusted by tapes run through a cas-
ing. The fronts have attractive full
ness laid in five small backward turn
Ing pleats at the neck.
The regulation shirt waist sleeves
have openings finished with under and
pleted with straight link cuffs. The
mode is desirable for all wash fabrics
in plain, dotted, striped or figured
designs.
To make this shirt waist will require
In the medium size three aud three
quarter yards of material twenty-one
inches wide, or two and a half yards
thirty-six inches wide.
Ribbon and lace insertion united oy
machine stitching is the dainty fabric

A Humming-Bird's Umbrella.

In front of n window where l
worked was butternut tree. A hum
ming bird built her nest on limb that
grew near the window, says writer
in the American Sportsman, and we
had an opportunity to watch her close
ly. In fact. we could look right into
the nest. One day when there was
a heavy shower coming up we thought
we would see If she covered her young
during the rain. Well. when the first
drops fell she came and took in her
bill one or two or three large leaves
growing close by, and laid this leaf
over the nest so as to completely cover
1t; then she flew away. On eXamin'
ing the leaf, we found a hole in 1t,
and in the side of the nest was a
small stick that the leaf was fastened
to or hooked upon. After the storm
was over the old bird came back and
unlocked the leaf, and the nest was
perfectly dry.

The Chinese forts are mounted large.

There are, in some of the forts at
Taku, for Instance, few Krupp guns,
and in the Pellin field forces and scat.
tered around the Manchu arsenals are
some modern field pieces and siege
guns, but the equipment in the face OF
n modern army is absolutely ridiculous.
The tottering old empire must rely,
to accomplish it's avowed purpose of
driving the foreign devils out" not
upon its navy, hardly upon it's army,
but largely upon its population.
Once relieved of what little restraint
now holds them in check and this long
suffering race will wreak u revenge
upon civilization and their own rulers
that will "stagger humanity"
The race for an empire that is now
going on in Asia is race for human
ity.
The nation that storms Pekin and
strikes blow at the barbarism and
ignorance of antiquity that still ra-
diate from the throne Of the Dowager
Empress will commence new cycle
In Cathay and confer lasting obliga-
tlon upon the civilized world. Who
will win the great prize?
Lord Charles Beresford made an in
vestlgatlon of the condition of the Chi
nese army, and declares that not even
the imperial Government at Pekin
knows the real strength Of the military
forces. Some of the commands are
Mancnu and some Chinese-dlstinct
the one from the other. The army is
entirely voluntary service, but when
once man has Joined 1t he finds II
difficult II not impossible to leave 1t.
Besides the Manchu and Chinese ar
mics there are 100000 Mongolian cav

Plants Made TO Grow Out of bamboo
Stalks.
One of the prettiest flower stands
which has appeared of late. says the
London Express, is made of a piece
of bamboo from four feet TO five feet
high. nailed onto two smaller bits,
arranged in the shape of the letter
Y. A hole of about three inches deep
Is cut at each knot in the upright
bamboo, and natural receptacle for
flowers is made in this easy fashion.
Bamboo grows in sections so that as
there is a solid piece Of wood between
each portion of the upright stick,
nothing remains to be done but to pour
water into the holes and to place
branch of flowers in each. Lilac
and laburnum look exquisite when
placed alternately in the bamboo
flower stand, but almost any kind of
foliage is effective when used in this
way.

Four modern torpedo boats.
None of these ships Is adequately
manned or armed. In her entire en-
pire China has but one dock where

with n capacity only for 3000-ton

With this insignificant navy she must
defend 1000 miles of coast line. Six of
her cruisers are at present locked up
in the Gulf OF Pe-chi-li.
China, therefore, can expect nothing
from her navy. What, then, does her
army offer.
Her army:
To begin WITH China Is dominated
by foreign army, 100000 strong. The
Manchus garrison the empire. They
ride high-handed over the Chinese, and
are commanded by Tartar generals.
Very little loyalty could be expected
from the Chinaman If forced to enlist.
The entire army system is corrupt.
Revenues collected to support the gar
risons have been diverted and divided
between the generals in command and
the viceroys of the provinces. 1t is
probable, therefore that in the entire
Chinese empire there is not equipment
for body of troops exceeding 100000,
and even for that number 1t is ques-
tlonable.

men. They are the best body of troops
