The Robins have come back Again
There's call upon the house top. on answer
from the plain,
There's MARBLE in the sunshine, a twttcr in
the rain,
And through my heart, at sound Of these,
There comes o nameless thrill,
As sweet as oder to the rose,
Or verdure to the hill
And all these joyous mornings
My heart pours forth this strain:
"God bless the dear old old robins,
Who have come back again.
For they bring thought of summer, Of
dreamy, luscious days,
OF kiugcups in the meadow, making golden
haze;
A longing for the clover blooms,
For roses all aglow,
Fur fragrant blossoms, where the bees
With droning murmurs go;
dream Of all these beauties
Of summers golden reign,
And sing ''God keeps the robbins.
Who have come back again.

SILK CULTURE IN New JERsEY.-New Jer-
sey has some eighteen establishments engaged
in the production Of silk goods. The city Of
Patterson contains twelve large works, en-
ploying some three thousand hands. The
chief demand for the fabrics arises from the
trimming and notion trade OF the country, the
prices being twenty-i five per cent. less than
imported goods, which, in some articles, as 10
in belt ribbon, have yielded the market to
domestic productions. The principal mills are
those of Hamil 4 Booth, Dexter, Lambert &
Co., John Ryle, Dale Manufacturing Company,
and Charles Martin. This business was first
established there in 1910 by Mr. John Ryle,
who may be justly termed the Father of the
Trade" He has been public benefactor to
the place, increasing byhis individual efforts the
around the falls of the Passaic at his own ex-
pense. He produces over three hundred groce
of spool sewing silk daily, while the pay roll of
the hands foots up $4,000 per annum. The
Dale company owns the largest mandatory In
this country, and larger than any single one in
Europe. When fully at work they have the
capacity for throwing 1850 pounds per
week. Their machinery inc udes |, 500 spndles
and thirty jacquard looms. The American
Velvet Company, which started there, was the
first to attempt the manufacture, on large
scale, of velvets in this country.
Powers OF U. s. CoNsULs. Two interest.
ing cases affecting the powers OF U. S. Con-
suls and the rights of seamen in American
vessels were recently decided in q Liverpool
court Each case was suit for wages brought
against an American vessel The American
Consul protested against the prosecution of the
suits on the ground that the laws of the Uni
ted States gave him exclusive jurisdiction in
the matter 1t appeared, on examination,
that the plaintiffs shipped at San Francisco on
voyages which they claimed terminated at
Liverpool. while the Consul eonteuded that it
was only an intermediate port. In one case it
was shown that the plaintiff had signed the
shipping articles, while the plaintiff in the
other had not. The Judge decided that the
Consul had jurisdiction in the case where the
articles had been signed, but not in the other.
