BABYLON NOT SO VERY DESC
LATE.

1t is usual for travellers to dwell upon
the utter desolation of Babylon, and 10
paint its site rs a strip of desert, cspeci-
ally woe-begone and unfertile. But they
could not have seen it III the middle of
April. The date groves and gardens
along the bauks of the Euphrates are
then things Of beauty in their fresh
spring verdure and the plain itself is laid
down with crops. Irrigation-canals cross
it here and there and give trouble to the
horsemen. No grass grows upon the
mounds, and there are patches Of the
level white with the inter which is to be
found here as in other parts Of Meso-
potamia; but the surface of the soil is,
on the whole, green and pleasant to the
eye. The glad waters Of the river flow
on in the bright morning sunshine, with
palm and mulberry hanging over its
bank, drinking in its cap and life. The
great city, which counted its population
by millions and filled the world with a
renown not yet forgotten, has disappear
ed under the dust of twenty centuries,
but nature is as fresh and iocund as
when Babylon was still unbuilt.

INDIANA FARMERS IN WALL
STREET.

Wall street is Interested in the move
ments of two old men who came here
from Indiana several days ago, with the
enormous sum of s., 500, and with firm
determination to clean out the street
They are brothers, farm bred, and when
they called at the Office Of conspicuous
broker and asked for him by name,
| shallow-headed clerk was so unfavorably
| impressed with their outward appearance
| that he said the broker was out. The
| old farmers sat down with as much pa
tience- as they would have shown in their
own farm houses while waiting for a
storm to puss away that they might go
to the field again. After an hour or two
the clerk changed his mind and showed
| them in.
The destinations of Wall street over
power all sorts of men and women, who
| seem at some time or other to be struck
with this passion as they are with love;
but of all the queer clients this broker
has had these two old farmers were the
| queerest. Like thousands of people all
over the country, they had first become
interested through the advertisements of
a certain class OF irregular Wall street
sharks, whose glowing announcements
fill the country press. They had also
taken New York daily paper and fol-
lowed the.course of the market. They
had for year bought and sold imagi-
nary lots of stocks, paying neither inter
/ est nor commission, but away out there
in their Indiana homes making tremen-
dous turns IN the market of which the
dealers here in the city were profoundly
/ ignorant. With unlimited credit at the
bank of their own Imagination, they
went long this and short of that stock,
taking in or putting out immense blocks
and keeping strict account of all their
transactions; and they frankly told the
broker, to whom they confded all this

Prof. Riley smiled. No wonder. To
the scientist and the specialist the pop
ular ignorance must be simply dense.
Tie reporter had never before encoun-
tered this serene smile Of science, and
was crushed to earth. Like truth, he
rose again when Prof. Rirey kindly
handed over some treatises on the natural
history, personal habita and moral char
acter OF the silk worm, from which is
deduced the following diagnosis: The
sllk-worm Is one Of the three domesticat-
ed insects most useful to man. The 9th
er members of this triumyiTate are the
cochineal and the honey hae. The ori-
9inal silk-worm is a ''heathen Chinese"
But it has the instincts of your true cos
mopolite, and wherever properly fed,
iourishes. The silk-worm family of
moths are gorgeous insects, got up re
gardless of color and triumphs OF decora-
tive art. The moth puts on lots OF style
But handome is as handsome does. The
worm does the work. The worm earns
the money. The eggs should be hatch
ed IN the spring as soon as the mulberry
leaves are fit to eat. When they are not
wanted they can be indefinitely postpon-
ed by being laid away in cool cellars,
("Mulberry Sellers" of course) as a
Tourist puts away rosebuds for belated
banquet. When the worm is ready to
spin, it is relegated to the limbo of the
cocoonerY, and from the depths of its
own inner consciousness it evolves the
shining thread of raw silk. 1t spins night
and day for about three days; makes the
retreat into chrysalis, and in two weeks
comes out q moth. It is the wild moths
and worms alone who possess beauty and
individuality of color. Civilization mon
otonizes. Cultivatee insects, like culti-
waited people, are very much alike.
Suppose a lady went into silk culture,
what would be the probable profit and
loss Of one Summer of it,
IL Is Impossible TO tell deDnltely IN
til there is more reliable home market
1t has been found profitable to grow
worms and send the choked cocoons to
Europe. To grow to great national in
dustry, it must be fostered by wise and
liberal legislation. The productive in
oustry should be encouraged by the Of
fering of premiums, as manufacturing is
protected by import duties, and tie same
beneficial results will follow"

WAGES AND WITTLES.

4 table of wages and the cost of living,
With the price of staple articles of COM
nerce, going back as far as 1900, has
been publiched lately. 1t shows that
's=son during the 18th century were
about so cents a week. In the next cen
tury they advanced some Is cents. and
continued to advance slowly until, in the
last century they had reached $1.S7. The
average for farm labor at present is 81. so
per week. Wheat in the 18th century
averaged II cents, or eight and half
days labor, a bushel. Now wheat is
worth, wholesale, about 81 46 a bushel
or two and half days labor. In SIX
centuries meat has nearly trebled in price
but wages have increased more than
| seven-fold. Thus it will be perceived
that the improvement in pay for labor,
while it may better the laborer's condi-
ton, does not tend to increase his CON
tentment. Subsistence is surely easier
than of old, though the laborer is not
satisfied to live as his ancestors lived. 1t
is with him as it is with all OF us-his de-
sires have augmented more rapidly than
the means to crafty then. Our wants
are innumerable, and. to large extent,
artificial. Luxuries, at they were once
considered, have grown to be necessities.
We think sometimes that we can dispense
with necessities, but luxuries are essen
tial not only to our contentment, but to
any tolerable degree Of well being.

THE WORM THAT WORKS.

\ ll0rla reporter two weeks ago found
on board Of one Of the French steamers
an italian gentleman who was taking
abroad myriads of silk-worm eggs, and
he interviewed this gentleman upon the
subject of the silk industry. Yesterday
a reporter of the Washington Post held
an interesting conversation in the Agri-
cultural Department with Prof. Riley,
who last Summer read III St. Louis, be
fore the National Science Association
an interesting paper on silk culture.
which the U'or2a at the time fully re-
ferred to. Said the reporter to the Pro
fessor:
'sDo you really think silk culture will
be permanent and lucrative industry in
this country"
''There is no doubt OF it. Large sec
tions of our country possess a soil ard
climate as well adapted to silk culture as
those OF China"
(Which sections?'
More particularly the Southern
States, many portions Of the Mississippi
Valley and the Pacific SLOPE
''But their food? / thought am
pretty sure that the public think that
the silk-worm lives on mulberry leaves. p"
"The silk-worm of China does, but
there are as many breeds OF the silk
worm as of the domestic dog, and some
of them take very kindly to Usage orange,
This is an advantage, as it is used for
| hedges in localities where the worm
thrives. I have silk from Usage orange
fed silk worms, equal in in quality and
quantity to that from the mulberry. III
some localities, by covering hedge with
a net to keep off the early bird, the
worms might thrive il the open air. In
the climate of Utah, for instance, this
might be done.
Does silk culture yield large profits?
Millions in it?"
''When carried on in a large way, the
principal profits, as in most other indus
tries, accTue to the niddlemen, reelers
and manufacturers, but on q small scale
| the return for time and labor is satisfac
! tory. Nine-tenths OF all the silk in
Europe is the product of separate house
holds.
Some glass jars of silk stood on the
desk. 1t was in small twisted hanks,
ready for the loom, and in two colors, q
solid gold and creamy white.
You spoke III your paper at st. Louis
OF this industry as being specially ad-
| apted to women"
'Ies, because it requires small in
vestmens of money, and can be carried
on with the other labors of the house
hold. It would be quite practicable, es-
| pecially in our Southern States, for wo.
4 men and children TO add something to
the family income, and it would prove q
new source of national wealth. To make
ita permanent industry, reelIng estab-
/ lishments must be erected"
Gould I-could I see some of the
worms? I should Ike to see some of the
worms spinning" said the reporter with

year were over 81, 900, 900. And through
such nursing of a delusion they had
come to believe that they eonld make
money in Wall street, and had gathered
together the earnings of lifetime and
I come east to get rich.
The broker was reluctant to open ar
account with them, but they would not
be denied. They were on the bull side
of the market-the outside operator us
ually is, being sanguine-and they
| bought little and waited for it to kite
up. They made their headquarters in
the brokers public room, where the Gus
| toners congregate, and strange con-
Frast they presented to the fashionably-
dressed men who lounged there. They
haunted the neighborhood of the ticker
and watched the tape at first with buoy
ant hope, then with an ill-concealed ca
gerness, dashed with fear, and later with
a fascination that is always unpleasant to
contemplate. For somehow, though we
have had for days rising market, the
cid men seemed to get on the wrong
stocks, and while the other men chatter
sd and figured up their gains and slipped
over to Delmonico's now and then, the
old men stuck to the tape and watched
the relentless little brass arm prancipc
up and down, stamping the black figures
on the tape, and stamping them lower
end lower until their wistful eyes grew
gearv, and they took turn now and
then in the open air of Wall or Broad
street; and thus the brokers came to see
the strangers and learn their story. Yes
terday their 81. 500 had dwindled away
to $400 and the younger of the two,
himself gray-haired man and as deeply
infatuated as ever, said he was going to
send his brother home; he was too old
and bothersome, and interfered with his
plans; alone, he said he could have his
own way, and come out all right yet; and
even the giddy brokers experience a
brief, passing qualm at this, for they
know how it will end.
But sometimes even the sharp ones
get scooped. There is O specuLator in
stock whose name is known all over the
world. He had confidential clerk, Il
sharp fellow, to whom he had given from
time to time points, so that the clerk
while serving his master might make
little for himself. In this way the clerk
accumulated about $4,000. The other
day the big speculator discovered that
his clerk was treacherous. He didn't
make row about it, nor bewail the de-
cadence Of honesty, nor even, with sad
face, give the erring clerk a moral lee
ture and plead with him to reform; but
u o. - r--;--t-, IL IL ----.--.-r
ing clerk found, when it was too late,
that the points all went against him, and
