A GOOD CONVERT.

Calvin w. Matter, missionary. de-
scribed in letter from Shantung a sue
cessful revival.
"And the results of this revival" he
said, were lasting. I'll tell you an
anecdote OF q little Chinese boy con-
verted two years back. The anecdote
will show you, l think, that this boy
understands the spirit or Christianity.
He attends the mission school, where
one OF his friends, All Sin. was for a
long time head Of the class. But All Sin
at last grew careless; he did not study
diligently enough, and so one fine day
our little convert supplanted him
"Our converts face expressed the tri-
umph he felt. while All Sins tear
dimmed eye expressed an opposite emo
ton. But our convert made no move
toward taking the seat Of honor he had
won, and, when urged to go forward,
gently refused, saying:
"'No; me not CO. Me not make An
Sins heart solly."

fore the advance Of the iron age OF ocean

large share in destroying the romance Of

rugged ships, into coal barge is in prog
ress at 18th street and the waterfront. The
ship arrived from Portland, ore, few
weeks ago with a cargo Of timber. The
voyage had taken $50 days, part OF which
time was spent at Valparaiso. Before she
left the Pacific Coast Edgar F. Luckenbach,
Brooklyn ship owner had purchased her.
As soon as her cargo was unlodded at the
Erie Basin she was towed to her present
berth and force Of riggcrs and carpenters
put TO work dismantling her.
How far the work If converting old sail
ing vessels into barges has gene can be
understood when II is explained that Mr.
Luckenbach who was one OF the pioneers
in the line, has a feet OF twenty-one Of
them. Not long ago he bought the old
