sza ?fjj 10 progressing rapidly, and will be ready for operations this summer. The Uainsworth Steel Company has tested its new 33-inch blooming mill, and found it satisfactory. The Homestead Hill also re cently tested their new four-high set of plate rolls, ana found them all right. It is expected that tbe new mill of the Dn quesne Tube Company will be in operation by next July. Coal gas producers are being erected, and will be used in case of the fail ure of ths natural supply. The product of the new mill will be pipe from two inches to ten inches in diameter. At Park Bros. & Co. the entire mill is running double as far as the tupply of fuel will permit. The firm is erecting "three batteries of four boilers each on the river bank opposite their ham mer department. Thcjr have also purchased a strip of land adjacent to their open-hearth mill, upon which they have commenced to erect a mill. Suspensions and Repairs. The Pittsburg Locomotive Works, Alle gheny, has closed down for repairs. Pumace A, of tbe Monongahela Furnace Company, has been banked, owing to the scarcity of the coke supply. The Clinton Colling Mill Company shut down temporarily last week, owing to the shortage ol pig metal. A break in the machinery of tbe National Tube Works Company has laid off the pud dling department for about a week. Carnegie, Phipps & Co.'s second Lucy furnace has been banked, owing to the short age of coke. Both stacks are in readiness to start when a. full supplv of luel can be had. All repairs at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works have been completed, and tbe plant is now ready for a resumption, but owing to tbe quiet condition of trade, the time is rather indefinite. At the Edgar Thomson blast furnace plant, there are now lour stacks out of blast and five remaining in blast. The nail plate mill may not be starud up again until May or June. The two mills of J. W. Trend & Co., one at Jlillvale and tbe other on the Southside, have been ordered shut down. At the Hill Tale mill the puddlers returned to work after one month's idleness, but are idle again after but one week's activity. One train oi fiuishmg rolls is on double turu. At the Southside mill every department is closed and tbe blast furnace has been idle for over two months, thus throwing about 500 men out. At the Twenty-ninth and Thirty-third street mills of Carnegie Bros. & Co., busi ness is exceedingly quiet and workmen are making very poor time owing to lack of orders and scarcity of gas. These works when running lull, employ about 3,000 men At present there are not more than 200 men working outside those engaged in the railway car supply department. The scarcity of gas renders work very tedious and greatly lessens the capacity of the mill. Orders, Shipments, Output. The Stirling Boiler Company recently sola the Cincinnati Water Work"! several water tube boilers aggregating 1,200 horse power Tbe Pittsburg Reduction Company is now tu-nmi out on an average 475 pounds of aiuminum daily, ail of which they have a market tor.

Hemphill & Co. are running very lull in every department, and in some are working double turu. Considerable work is on band, and owing to the limited time thev have for completing it a resort to nuLt and dav work is necessary. The Tretheweny Manufacturing Company report trade exceedingly good, with their share fully up to their capacity. In order to keep up with increased trade they are putting in a new planer and a new grind ing machine, the latter for tbe purpose of grinding the face and also the fillcti and journals of rolls for the Government, to be used in the Mint. The Hume Safety Boiler Company has made a contract for a battery o' 500 horse power boilers with the Johnson Company of Johnstown. They also have proposal: out foi about 1,000 horsepower in that vicin ity illiam Fishc- last week shipped a 12 foot grinding pan and a 9 foot dry griuding pan to a New York firm.

Hints on tbe Selection and Culture cf Ornamental Plants. SOME OP THE TEKI BEST YARIEJIES Young enthusiasm in the way of city gar dening has much to contend with, as the little space at its command is often enclosed by high walls, which keep out air and sun shine, and it takes several years of experi ence to discover just whatis suitable to one's own locality and situation, says a writer in the New York Herald. Yet, with a little thought and care, and a judicious selection of plants, even those yards into which the sun but slightly pene trates can be made to assume a cheerful aspect. To begin with, I want to say a few words about the soil. Most people have to put up with it as it is, as very few will care to go to the trouble and expense, when the soil is poor, of having it carted away and new soil substituted. Poor Soil Can Be Improved. Poor soil, however, can be very much im proved by the addition of various fertilizers such as bonedust, guano, stable manure, decayed lcayes, wood ashes and sometimes coal ashes. When tbe soil is very stiff and clayey sand should be mixed with it, and leaf mould will make it rich and pliable. Street sweepings are also valuable for this purpose. One important thing is to have the ground well spaded, at least a loot deep. In city yards it is well not to go any deeper, as the subsoil is sometimes brought to the top and the fertile loam buried beneath it. After spading the ground should be thoroughly pulverized, raked over carefully and all large stones removed. If concentrated fertilizers are used such as bonedust, guano, etc, they should now be strewn over the ground thick enough to just nicely cover the soil and no more: it will then need an other going ever with the rake. If stable manure is used it should be broken up as fine as possible, thrown over the surface to tbe depth of two or three inches and be thoroughly incorporated with the soil by spading. Beginning With the Hardier Plants. After it has been allowed to settle for a day or two tne ground should be made smooth and level and then it is ready for planting. As the hardy plants are the ear liest to be set out in the spring and the first to bloom I will begin with them. It is of course not advisable for those who change tbeir residence lrom year to year to meddle much with hardy plants, as a num ber of years often elapse before they give any return for the time and care bestowed upon them. Nevertheless the little garden can be made resplendent by raising such flowers as bloom the first year from seed and with tbe aid of plants obtained from the florist. What makes hardy plants so dor to many is that they come back year after year, and we learn to love them like old friends and to wait impatiently for their coraiur. One of the handsomest of hardy shrubs is the snowball. A well-grown tree, ten or twelve feet high, literall covered with its pure white blossoms, is worth having in tlu garden. The snowballs need but little pruning, and that should be done after th'; tree has bloomed. The buds form so early in tbe spring o. the old wood that a great many blossoms would be lost if it were trimmed too soon. Tho Law of Artistic Balance. If a snowball were placed on one side of the yard, a dogwood or syringe could be planted on the other side to balance it- Then tor brigbter-hued shrub? there are the scar let Japan quince, the yellow Forsytbia virl dissima and the Weigela rosea, which has pretty white and pink flowers and blooms protusclr. The flowering almond is a beau tiiul shrub, having long branches thickly studded with white-red or white flowers like a miniature rose. Do not invest in lilacs unless you have time and patience enough to wait for them to bloom. I have known them to be five or six years old before showing a single flower; but, alter all, I think they are worth waiting for, as when once they begin to bloom their sweetuess can be enjoyed for many years. Among hardy climbing plants I will first mention the rose. Get a Baltimore .belie, train it along the fence on tbe sunny side of the yard, and if it likes the situation it will soon grow vigorously, sending up great shoots eight to ten feet long. It should be trimmed early lu spring March or April and neatly tacked to the fence. Cut away all shoots that grow too straggling; there will be plenty of others when it begins to grow to take the place of those that have been removed. Bones as Garden Fertilizers. The ouly fertilizer that my rosebush has had for two or three years back is a quantity of bones dug in at the roots. This seems to be all the food it needs, as year alter year it blooms profusely. I have picked immense bouquets from it day after day, and yet one could hardly discover that any roses bad been removed. When setting out a uew plant, 1 advise giving it plenty of bone dust, and in the spring or fall covering the roots with stable manure. You must have some other roses, that is,if you have a sunny spot for them, otherwise do not meddle with them at all. By all means get one or two red jacqueminots and a La France, with its soft, satiuy, pink petals, so deliciouslv fragrant. This is a monthly rose, and will gladden your heart all through the summer with its bloom. For a fragrant white rose get the Crquette des Blanches. If you wish a greater Variety the florists' catalogues will furnish you with tbe names of many others. Those that I have mentioned I know to be satisfactory. They are all hardy, but the La France will be grateful for a slight protection of leaves should the winter be severe. Sonic of the Enemies of Roses. Treat them as 1 have directed for the climbing rose, and always be ou the lookout for the enemy, for nothing but eternal vigi lance will vanquish him. When the leaves first begin to appear in the spring examine your bushes carefully, and whenever you see a leaf that is curled up pick it off and you will find that it contains a little worm nicely rolled up in its blanket of green. The little intruder must be destroyed at once, otherwise it will teed on the leaves of the plant until scarcely any are left, even attacking the ceartof the rose. A daily search must be made for these worms until they have all been destroyed. I have tried various insect exterminators, but have found none to do tbe work as well as my own eyes and fingers. The aphis, an other little green insect, vulgarly called plant louse, is a less formidable enemy, unless it appears in great numbers. It can be destroyed by sprinkling the plant with tobacco water or soapsuds. It the presence of worms around the roots is suspected dis solve a small piece of lime in a quart of water and pour this around the plant, when they will come to the surface and can be re moved. Screens for Unsightly Pcncos. Now let us giye our attention to somo other plants. Wc can hardly have too many climbers to cover up the unsightly fences. The honeysuckle is always a favorite, and one or two of these should be in every gar den. Then there is the clematis, of which I cannot speak too highly. I have known n clematis Jackmanii to be one mass of bloom lrom June to October. This is a deep pur ple variety. Those of lighter hue, though not blooming so profusely, are very hand some, with large flowers and fine foliage. They almost all bloom the first season and come up year after year with very little at tention. Insects do not seem to trouble them in the least. We all know and admire tbe wistaria, or .THE cottage cluster as it is often called, with its drooping panicles of daiutv lavender flowers. Like the lilac, it tikes a long time belore it becomes thoroughly established, but after that, a"s with all hardy plants, it grows more beautiful year after year. Beware of the Virginia creeper, for it is entirely too hospitable to insects. I took care of one for three years, but had to re move it, as I did not appreciate the shower of black caterpillars it sent down on me as I sat in the shade. I have, of course, not exhausted the list of hardy shrubs and climbers, but those I have mentioned have been tried and not found wanting, and will be sufficient in number to stock any city yard. How to Start Annuals. Ifynuwishto raise annuals they can be sown in shallow boxes in tbe house, but this is a method with which amateurs seldom have much success. A better plan is to wait until the ground is warm enough abput the middle of May and sow them in the border, marking each variety with a stick on which the name has been written for future identification. If the seeds are quite large sow them di rectly in. the open ground, rake over the soil, sprinkle the seeds where they are to grow, cover them with a very little earth and press it down firmly. This is one great essential in sowing and planting. The very fine seeds bad best be sown in shallow bnxe.-, which can be placed in a sunny situ ation. When the plants come up and are an inch or two high they can be transplanted to where thev are to bloom. One of tbe prettiest edgings I know of for flower beds is the golden feather, or dwarf feverfew. When once sown it comes up every spring lrom self-sown seed, and can be transplanted when not an inch high. Only a lew plants should be allowed to bloom for seed. The rest should be kept neatly trimmed at.au eveu height. A Grass Plot Flower Bed. A pretty arrangement for a flowerbed in the middle of a grass plot would be to have a canna oo ricinus ( castor oil plant) for the center, a row of scarlet geraniums around this, then a row ot blue ageratums, and lastly an edging ot golden leather. The geraniums and ageratums can be procured of a florist at so much per dozen, bnt the ricinus and golden feather should be sown before the other plants are set out. This bed will be bright and beautiful all summer long if you are careful to pick off all flowers as soon as they begin to fade, and do not allow the geraniums to run too much to wood or become leggy, and do not neglect to water it every day it you wish to keep it at its best. The following list of flowers will give a succession of bloom all through the summer and can be easily raised from seed: Zin nias, an old fishioned flower, but much im proved of late years. It will bloom 'until late in the fall. Marvel of Pern, or lour o'clock;, make handsome bushy plants, like immense bouquets, of yellow, red or white flowers. Petunias are easy to" raise and generally come up again from self-sown seed. A white variety with greenish yellow throat is particularly handsome and very fragrant at night. Facts About Different Varieties. Petumas are apt to sport, and where a red and a white variety are standing together the latter is likely to change color, some times assumiug a most beautiful shade of pink. The cheerfdl marigold must not be forgotten. I received almost more pleasure from half a dozeu of these plants Jast sum mer than from anything else that I had in the garden. No matter how dark and dreary the day they always smiled at me from the back of the yard, and even when the cold winds of autuma began to blow they still were there. In flower lore the mangold representscare and sorrow, but I think it is symbolical of faith and constancy. Other plants with which you cannot fail to be successful arc the sweet alyssum, coreopsis, aster, balsam, aquilegia or columbine, nasturtiums, dusty miller, larkspur and portulacca. Every garden should contain a clump of the lily ot the valley, which will grow in any situation and asks for no care but a little thinning out now and then, the day lily. Iris or flag lily, and the bleeding heart that brave little flower which is almost the first one to peep through the cold, black earth in spring. Flowers for the Fall. For fall blooming get salvias, chrysanthe mums and dahlias. The mad lira vine, th-' balloon vine very delicate ann pretty the balsam pear and the passion flower are a few of the tender climbers that will grow in almost any situation. I am aware that this Is a very ordinary collection of common plants, but I wish to indicate those that can always be depended on in our city yards. By all means get one or two novelties every season to experiment witb, but do not stock your yard with a lot of plants you know nothing about, or .you will be pretty certain to come to grief with them.

A Few Of the TopiCS That Will Be Presented in Pittsburg AND ALLEGHENY PULPITS SUNDAY. A Scyr Organisation for the Study of Sacred Literature. GLEANINGS FE0M CHURCH FIELDS Among ths late interesting features of Bible study is the organization of an insti tute for special examinations in tbis line. The following announcement comes from Prof. W. E. Harper, of Yale College: The annual examinations offered by the American Institute of Sacred Literature arc an interesting feature of the present wide spread interest in Bible study. A year ago this organization announced a curriculum of examinations. By this means a person or group of persons in any place which can be reached by mail may at any time secure an examination upon any biblical subject A certificate bearing the seal of the institute will be awarded him should his work merit such recognition. Thus a minister, a Bible teacher, or a non professional Bible student may on the com pletion of the study of a Biblical subject be provided with a series of comprehensive and suggestive questions, which will show him whether or not he has grasjied the essen tial facts of his subject, its teachings, its re lation to the Bible as a whole, and its his torical and literary value. Certain general examinations upon topics of current interest to all Bible workers are offered each year. For 1891 the subjects are the Gospel of John and the Lite of Christ based upon the four gospels. The first will be popular, as the Inter national Sunday School Lessons for the last half year of 1891 take up the study of this gospel. The second is primarily intended for the many who are this year making a special study of that subject . The questions are prepared in four grades, thus being adapted to all classes of students from children in the Sunday school to min isters In the pulpit The examinations are conducted by special examiners appointed by the insti tute. Eleven hundred of these are already at work. They are scattered through every State in the Union, Canada, Mexico, and across the seas in England, Ireland, Wales, China, Japan, India and Syria. The examinations will take place simul taneously in all parts of the world ou Janu ary 15, 1892. , The American Institute of Sacred Liter ature counts among its officers eminent scholars of all orthodox religious denomina tions, among them President Andrews, of Brown University; Prof. Burroughs, of Amherst; Prof. Thayer, of Harvard; Bishop Potter, of New York City, and Bishop Vin cent, of Chautauqua fame.

AUSTRALIA WILL IfOW BE VIEITJAI1Y INDEPNDENT. The Significance of the Title, the Common wealth of Australia, Adopted by the Federation Convention What the Lon don Press Says of the Action. London, April 3. The creation of the Commonwealth of Australia by the Federa tion Convention now in session at Sydney, is barely noticed 'in the morning papers, which fail to recognizs its importance. Of these, the Clironicle alone comments on tbe act It speaks of the adoption of that title as not unexpected, nnd does not regard it as pointing to a separation from the mother country. The Star grasps the significance of toe convention's actions. "The Australians," it says, "have copied the Constitution of the United States, avoiding its defects and evils. Australia will, accordingly, be a democratic federation, practically a re public, with a monarchical veneer. The task devolves upon the Queen of appointing a Governor General. Australia will not accept a titled nonentity. A mistake In the choice would endanger the connection between the mother country and the uew federation, where everything is ripe for a declaration of independence and the election of a President." The St. Jama Gazette observes that the adoption of the title ot Commonwealth is significant "Australia," it Bavs, "is more a republic than a colony. Federa tion makes ber virtually independent England cannot reluse to ratify her act" The" Pall Mall Gazette says: "The con vention has conceded euormons- powers to the Federal Government. The constitution it has formed is something between the American and the'Canadian instruments. The Crown is still a reality, but its power in the new Commonwealth is a figment. The convention has adopted a clause of the constitution providing that the Chief Ex ecutive of the Federation shall be known as the Governor General, and that he shall ba appointed by the Queen. A proposition that the Governor General should be elected by a popular vote was rejected by a vote of 35 to 3." A QUESTION OF JUBISDICTIOJr. The Dfonon Beceivershlp Fight Before Jndge Gresham, of Chicago. Chicago, AdhI 3. A motion to docket the suit of William S. Alley against the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Kail way Company in the United States Circuit Court, cameoup before Judge Gresham this morning. When the suit was first filed in Cook County Circuit Court for a receiver, the original defendants were the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Baiiroad, of Illinois nnd Indiana; John S. Statsenberg, John C. New and William Barker, trustees and residents of New York; the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company and the Central Trust Company, both non-resident. Sub sequently Jndge Tnley allowed President Breyfogle, the Fort WayneTerre Haute and Southwestern and the Monon Block Coal Companies, ot Indiana and Illinois respectively, the Bedlord and Bloomfield and the Orleans and West Bader and French Lick Springs Bailway Companies to become parties delendant. Complainant Alley is' also a resident of New York, and on motion of some of the defendants, Judge Tuley transferred tbe CKSe to the Federal Court The attorneys for Alley claim that uuder the latest de cisions tbe Federal Court has no jurisdiction in the case. 'Because the Monon Company is practically toe real delendant nnd located here, it is contended that the State Court alone has jurisdiction. It will probably tak e a day to discuss this point IT DIES YEEY HABD. The Arkansas BUI for a State Exhibit at the World's Fair. Little P.ock, April a The House bill appropriating 530,000 for the World's Fair was defeated in the Senate this morning by a vote of 14 ayes to 16 nays.
