A contemporary, alluding to the
recent public celebration of the
hord's Supper in Madrid by Protest
ants, adds, that this is the first time
that it has thus been observed there
since the reign of Philip H., more
than 250 years since. Was it even
thus observed in Madrid in Philips
reign, which began in 1886 and clos
ed in 1898? 1t ought to be remem-
bered that there never were any
Professionals in Spain, according to
the proper meaning of the, word. A
religious reform movement began In
Spain in the sixteenth century, and
il had risen to tormidably proper
tions Just at the time that Philip Ii.
began to reign; and he stamped it
out so energetically that it passed
away like a wild dream. But there
is small evidence that it had much
in common with that Protestant
movement which wrought things so
great in Germany, Holland, Sweden,
England, Scotland and Denmark,
and even in France.
Doubtless it had some connection
with Lutheranism, but il never as

SILKwoRM EGGs.-It is authors
lively announced by a San Francisco
paper that five and half million
dollars worth Of sillzworm eggs
were exported from the port of Yo-
kohama, Japan, in 1868. The pur-
chasers were mostly Frenchmen;
though a few Italian buyers were in
the market. Forty days are requir-
ed to transport the egg to Europe,
by tne India overland route; hence
it is argued tlat upon the opening of
the Pacific Railroad, the siIkworrl
crop in California can be made TO
replace the japanese and Chinese
article. 1t is claimed that the Cali
fornia eggs bring higher price in
all European markets, are sought
for with greater avidity, and produce
stronger and healthier cones, which
make larger and stronger cocoons
than the japanese or Chinese eggs.
