\ terribly destructive shell is one Of
the inventions described at GREAT length
in the foreign scientific journals. In
brief, it is Il hollow ca>t-iron cylinder,
having 4 small receptacle turned in it,
base for half 4 grain of rifle firc-grain
powder a Il bursting charge, contained
in Il shallow bag. \ thin disk of iron
screws into the cylinder and covers the
bursting charge, having IN aperture in
lis center, through which trains of
quick-match are laid, forming i~n>tanta-
ncouS communication between the
charge chamber and the flame from the
fuse, upon the ignition of the compost
ton Of the latter. The half of the
shell nearest the base is considerably
Stoutcr in its Sulhtance han the upper
half, and just admits of six magnesium
Starlights being placed upright within
it, upon the disk covering the powder
chamber, 50 aS to leave Il small space
in the center of the circle formed by
them, exactly over the hole in the disk.
The lights are composed of nitrate of
baryta, chloratc of potash, magnesium
powder, and boiled oil, and are con-
tanned in paper cylinders having 4 small
quantity Of damp powder at either end;
to insure ignition they are surrounded
with bands of quick-match. They are
calculated to burn for fourteen seconds.
The upper half Of the shell has even
signal starlights within it, placed up
right on those below; their ingredients
are inter, sulphur, orpiment, and mag
ncSium powder slightly coated with
paraiin.

A Novel Diagnosis.

One OF the partners of 4 prominent
Observation-Disclosures, South Caro-
lima, gives the following account of his
experience rs Il patient of the late DR..
Gray of New York. He had been treat
ed by the best physicians of the South
for heart disease, of which they assured
him he was liable To drop dead at any
moment. He believed this, and by
their advice had avoided all undue en-
element for several wears. He had
n~i@ht-SweatS, palpitation of the heart,
and other symptoms of the disease,
when, being once ut his fathers house
in New York, he vas persuaded to con-
suit DR.. Gray, which he did with no
shadow of hope, but simply to satisfy
his father. He found the doctor very
busy with patients, and had to wait L
long time before his turn cam to be
shown into the consultation-room.
"Well, sir, what is the matter with
y0H?' We're the doctors first words.
81 have disease Of the heart" an
severed the gentleman, laconically, not
much liking the bluff manner of the
doctor.
Upon this he was placed standing
with his head and heels against the
wall, while the doctor applied the Steth-
oScopc very carefully, and then vi@or-
ouSly pounded the patients chest for
some time; and is he was released from
the wall and turned to go ne was fur
Their treated To u severe blow right be-
tween the shoulders. This was more
than the young man could we'll bear,
and he turned, furious with anger and
ready to return the blow.
The doctor war,led him off with his
arm, saying @ood-naturcdly, at is all
right, my dear sir. find you have no
heart disease. If YOU had had, that
blow would have killed YOU" OF
course there was nothing to do but to
take this extraordinary treatment in
good part, but the patient left with very
unpleasant feelings toward the great
homppathist. From that day, how
ever, all symptoms of heart disease
vanished, and it is now the opinion of
the gentleman that his symptoms We're
mostly created by his long-dwelling up
on what he believed to be his critical
condition .-SeptemJer LippjncoA's.

The Cultivation of Silk in This Country.

Silk-growing in the United States has
been sporadic in its character, Vet fine
specimens of silk have been produced
by almost every one who has expert
mcntcd with Silkworms. In time, there
is NJ reason to doubt, this industry will
become u prominent one, though here
toforc Silk-wcavcrS have imported the
raw silk from Japan or other places
where the cost of labor has been ut the
minimum. Nearly one hundred and
thirty years ago, or i'll III, the Gov
crnor of Connecticut wore the first coat
and stockings made of silk raised in that
PROVINCE; and three Years later his
daughter Wore the first silk dress of
home manufacture. In lob, Mrs.
pinckncy took to England enough silk,
raised by herself, to make three silk
dresses. One of these was prcScntcdt to
the princess d~owagerof Wales; another
was given to the famous Lord Chester
field; and the third, now in the posses
sion OF Mrs. Horny, the daughter Of
Mrs. %Pinckney, is remarkable for its
beauty, tirmnc>s and strength, accord
ing to DR.. Ramsey in his History Of
SOHM CaTOIinN. This Mrs. Pinckney,
the mother of Charles Cotrsworth
Pinckncy, was Eliza Lucas, the daugh-
ter of the Governor of Antigua. At
eighteen she had charge of Il cotton
plantation in South Carolina: She also
experimental successfully with the cul-
turc of indigo.
In 1913, Mr.. STYLES, the President of
Yale College, began experiments i'll
sales.--future, and was one of the most
earnest advocates of this industry forthe
colonies. His manuscript Journal re-
lating his experience is still preserved III
the library of Yale College. In 1888,
1T the commencement ceremonies, he
wore Il gown made of Connecticut silk.
Mr.. William Mollincau of Boston was
another promoter of this industry, and
in 171O was given a lease, free of rent
for eve years, {. the public silk
factory TO aid in employing the poor in
spinning, dyeing and weaving silk.
SU>amah Wright of Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, was another. In the
same year she received 4 premium for Il
piece of "mantua" sixty yards in
length, made from silk of her own rails
ing. \ court dress for the Queen of
England was made from it, and samples
are still preserved in Il manuscript copy
of Wat>on's -AnnalS Of Pennsylvania anil
MiIpdtIphia, which is in the collection
of the Philadelphia Library Company.

He was such a nice looking young
man, and, it being Sunday evening,
too, the waiter girls at the hotel decid-
ed among themselves that he would not
touch the dish of raw onions placed at
his left hand. He did hesitate, but
only for 4 moment. Piece after piece
was lifted to his mouth and disposed of,
and he lifted the last one, shook the
vinegar Off, carefully wrapped it in his
silk handkerchief, and they heard him
soliloquize: ~ believe that Gertrude
loves me. She acts as if she did, and
actions speak louder than words. To-
night | shall test her love. If | am the
cherished of her heart she will not re-
fuse to taste of this onion, so that my
breath shall not be perccivable. If she
is cold and tickle | will rush from her
fathers mansion and ne2erloyc again."

If, when you hear 4 certain lady's name,
You feel your pulses give 4 sudden start.
Or blush, a. if some secret sense of shame
Had stirred, Just then, the currents Of yOuI

And If that name-to put it rather strong

To venture the opinion, you're IN love!
If. when, at last, by some suspicious chance,
You meet the lady ut 4 bali or play,
You shrink abashed before her modest glance,
And quite forget the words you meant to say;
And if. moreover gazing at her hand,

If with two ladies, on a INNER day,
You sit alone, at luncheon or at tea,
And think, if one of them were but away
"A mile or so, how happy you would be;
Yet find your wits in such Il giddy whirl.
You scarcely speak to her you're thinking of,
