Discovery OF Silk and Satin.

The discovery of silk Is attributed to one
of the wives of the Emperor of China,
ioang-ti, who reigned about two Thousand
years before the Christian era; and since
that time special spot has always been
allotted in the gardens of the Chinese royal
palace TO the cultivation of the mulberry
trcc-callcd in Chinese the "golden treo''
and TO the keeping OF silk worms Tho
first silk d' css in history was made, not for
sovereign nor for a pretty woman, but
for the monster in human shape, Hclioga-
balus.
Persian monks, who came to CONSTANT
noplc revealed to the Emperor Justinian
the secret of the production of silk, and
gave him some silk worms. From Greece
the art passed into Italy at the end of the
thirteenth century. When the Popes loft
Rome to settle at Ayinton, France, they
introduced into that country the secret
which had been kept by the Italians; and
Louis Kl. established at Tours a manu-.
factory of silk fabrics. Francis I. founded
the Lyons silk works, which, to tins day,
have kept the first rank. Henry H., Of
Franco, wore the first pair of silk hose ever
made, at the wedding of his sister, The
word ''satin" which In the original was
applied to all silk stuffs IN general, has,
since the last century, been used to desig-
nate only tissues which prevent a lustrcd
surface. The discovery Of this particular
brilliant stuff was accidental. Octavio
Mai, Il silkwcaver, finding business very
dull, and not knowing what to invent to
give now impulse to the trade, was one
day pacing to and fro before his loom.
Every time he passed tho machine, with
no definite object In view. he pulled little
threads from the warp and pvt them to his
mouth, which soon after he spat out
Later Oh, he found the little ball Of silk on
the floor OF his workshop, and was attract
cd by tho brilliant appearance of the
threads. lie repeated the experiment and
by using certain mucilaginous preparations
succeeded in giving new lustrc to his tis-
sues.

A Poetic story.

There Is a quite singular tact Inc onncc-
tion with Stiles hill, in the town of South
bury, Conn. known to the country rcsidents
living within sight of that eminencc. For
six decades two tall elm trees stood side
by side, little distance apart, upon the
topmost point of the elevation; these trees
were visible for many miles around, and
from tins fact they became noted land
marks More than sixty years ago two
little girls were wont to pass over the
summit of this hill daily, during
the summer season, to drive their
fathers cows to pasture. They were
imprc sscd by the slightly attributes of the
elevation, and often tarrled to gaze at the
widespread landscape. One day they
conceived the idea Of planting each tree
upon the hill, which should be to
them reminder of their childhood days
IN the years to come. They put their idoa
into effect, and two slender elm shoots
soon waved their green branches as SOL
itary sentinels In the open space round
about. Years passed by and the shoots
grew into tall, stalwart trees. The girls
grew to womanhood and passed out Of the
parental home into the great, wide world.
Occasionally they would meet ono another
and alludo to tho living reminders of
youthful days, and often they would visit
the familiar haunts of their girlhood and
would sit beneath the wide sprca ding
branches of the mammoth Gins. About
five years ago one Of the girls died, an
aged lady Of almost eighty. Scarcely
had the intelligence of her death reached
the ncighbcrhood of her youth than the
residents observed that one Of the old clms
was dying. Its leaves wiltcd and with
cred as though scorchcd by flame. and
although midsummer yet the foliage fell
to the ground, leaving the naked, lifeless
branches and stock looking dcsolatc
enough. Decay quickly followed in the
great tree, and during high wind, one
night the following winter, it foil to the
earth The other girl, although an octo-
genaran, still lives, and the old elm
which she planted in her fresh young
girlhood still lives. But the people, to
whom the above circumstances are known,
watch IT with interest, feeling that sub
tic relationship exists between the two
lives, and that the one will cease with the
other

something About Fans.

KAN 81 was the first hdy who carried a
fan. She lived in ages which are past, and
for the most part forgotten, and she was
the daughter of Chinese Mandarin.
Who ever saw Mandarin, even on toa-
chest, without his fan2 In China and
Japan TO this day every ono has fan; and
thore are fans of all sorts for everybody.
The Japanese waves his fan at you when hc
meets you, by way of greeting, and the
beggar who sOlicts for aims has the OK
ceedipgly small coin "made on purpose"
for charity presented to him on tho tip of
the fan.
In ancient times, amongst the Greeks
and Romans, fans seem TO have been
enormous; thoY were generally madc of
feathers, and carried by slaves over the
heads Of their masters and mistrcsses, to
protect them from the sun, or waved about
before thom to stir the air.
Catherine de Mcdicis carried the first
folding fan ever seen In France; and IN the
time of Louis the Fourteenth the fan was
n gorgeous thing, often covered with
jewels, and worth small fortune. In Eng
land they were tho fashion IN the time Of
Henry the Eighth. All his many wives
carried them, and doubtless wept behind
thom. A fan sot In diamonds was once
given TO Queen Elizabeth upon Now oar q
Day.
The Mexican feather fans which Corte2
had from Montezuma were marvels OF
beauty; and In Spain large black fan is
the favorite. II Is SAID that tho use Of the
fan Is as carefully taught in that country as
any other branch Of education, and that by
well.known code of signals a Spanish
lady can carry On long conversation with
any ono especially an admirer.
The Japanese criminal Of rank is polite.

l'rIIlleVal Man,

In recent speech Prof Dawkins gener-
alZing from the distribution of the animal
remains found in the early tertiary periods,
concluded that Europe was then Joined to
Africa. The evidence found in the mid
plioccne period Of the existence of tho rive,
drift hunter in France, Italy, SPAIN Greece,
North Africa and also in India, brought us,
in his opinion, face to face in that period
with the primitive condition of human cul-
ture on which, in all probability, oil pro.
gress had been based. The absence of
geographical limitations already referred to
would account for tho freedom with which
the hunter passed to aud fro. Subsequent
ly, in tho cave-mcn he found the success
sors of the rver-drift huntcr-men of much
higher type. He gave of their habits the
following Hypothetical description: They
dressed themselves in skins and wore gloves
not unlike those worn at the present time
They wore necklaces and armlcts, and
probably pierced their ears for the rccep-
tion of earrings for ornamentation. They
used reed raddle, and indeed some of tho
practices of the present time might bo
looked upon distinctly as being survivals.
The skins with whloh they clothed them.
selves tney sewcd together with bone need
les, and from what they left behind on.bones
and pieces of skin and the like 1t appeared
that were able to form distinct idea of the
creatures which they hunted, the reprcsen-
tations thus left probably being the trophies
Of the chase. They were fowlers and
fishermen, and 1t was evident from the fig.
ures of animals which had been discovered
that the hunters Of these times had great
facility in representing forms of animals
on bone; but their attempts at representing
the human form were rude. They had also
left behind evidence of the art of sculpture.
They were ignorant Of metals. They had
no domestic animals. Apparently they
were not In the habit of burying their dead.
We were not aware of what sort Of ply
slque they had, but there was reason to be.
iieve they were most closely related to the
Esquimaux. They were wholly different
from the river-drift men. The river-drift
man was In state of primeval savagory
the cave man was Of higher type, but in
his turn was wholly inferior to tho farmer,
herdsman and merchant who followed him.
We had this proof Of tho developement
of the human raco in times before history
began, and 1t occurred to him they had
no reason for fixing any limit as to where
progress would end, his opinion being that
man would go on increasing in knowledge
and In improving In the arts of ci vilization
until In perhaps not very remote future he
would be as superior to the men of 1880
as we were superior to tho early hunters
and cave men

Gold In Musical Inatrum nts.

The use of gold In the construction
of musical instruments, never yet tho
roughly investigated, offers All interesting
field for experiment. Four metals arc
distinguished as being capable of being
hardened to spriug temper, and in that state
possess moro or less power of vibration.
steel hardened by tempering is used for
pianoforte strings Brass is hardened by
drawing down or tlattening, but the elias.
ticlty Ia not equal to steel. Nickel can
also be drawn or flattened, and possesses
great springlness, but no metal, either In
a pure state or mixed with other metal,
equals gold, If combined with copper, sill
yer or both, for ductility or Of power of
vibration. A spiral spring made of tif-
tccn-carat gold-tllat Is, fifteen parts Of fine
gold to nine parts Of copper drawninto wire
possesses more springincss. Many years
ago superintended the manufacture of some
gold wire on this principle, as string
upon all ordinary pianofortc, and the results
were marked Not only was tho tone
considerably increased, but It's quality ma,
tcrally improved. With the thinner and
shorter strings this was q? noticeable that
1t is surprising the idea should not have
suggested itself to others. Fifteen carat
wire drawn down at least slx holes after
softcni0g answers best. have also sug-
gcsted the use of gold for the vibrating
tongue of the harmonlum, concertina aud
other Instruments of the kind. Some time
ago asked an amateur zithern player to
try the effects of gold wire upon his instru-
mcnt and he has since assured mo the in
crease in tone is SO remarkable that he has
substituted it for tho steel springs with
complete success / think the idea ono
that merits further inquiry. Tho expense
OF advantages are to be gained) should not
deter those most interested in the matter.
The harmonium tongues arc made 80 thin
that little extra outlay would be required,
and with small loss, seeing that the old
gold can be remoltcd. Let anyone take a
disk Of steel the size and thickness of a
sovereign, throw it upon wooden table so
as to make 1t ring, then take sovereign
and beat 1t IN the same way. The first
will have dull sound, as If the metal
were cracked. and the second bright
metallic bell-ring. A still better test 10 to
throw piece of steel band Oh the floor,
listen to the vibrations, then do the same
with strip of gold of the same size and
density. Gold has been used for tho
strings of the virginia., with what effect l
cannot say: everything depends Oh the
gold being alloycd and hardened by draw
ing down to the desired condition, IN
which it will stand nearly the same as
steel.

other an irresistible wish to see what 9th.
ers see. History records many instances
of these manias. One of the most remarkable
of the first occurred In Alx-la- -Chapelle and
other cities In 1874, when an assemblage
of persons appeared who had ''danced
their way through Germany" 1t was es-
timated, at one time, that there were 10000
persons thus engaged. Its commencement
was supposed to have been that single in
dlvidual, afflicted with some nervous dis
case, commenced dancing: others seeing
him, in obedienc to the desire, the mania,
to act as others act, joined in the dance,
which, In short tiuc, engaged the above
extraordinary number Of persons. In the
same category may be placed tho "bitlng
nuns, who appeared III the converts of
Germany, Holland and Rome in another
century. This extended initiative mania
arose simply from the act of one nun at
tempting to bite companion, and almost
Immediately the whole sisterhood COM

Clearing tho Way for Old Hickory.

When President jackson visited Hart
ford, Ct., In June, 1888, among the incl
dents of tho day, which provoked consid-
erable merrimcnt at the expense Of the
sufferers, was the following, related by a
gentleman who witnessed 1t: AS the Presi-
dents party camo In sight t,i the crowd at
Skinner's Corner IL was observed that three
men in wagon were riding abreast OF
Jackson's carriage, and while not designing
to insult the distinguished visitors, their
conduct was 30 boister0us as to annoy them,
One of tho assistant marshals requested
them to fall back, but he was answered by
flat and profane refusal. General Pratt
then rode up and asked them to take them
selves out of tho way. Another blast of
profanity and an emphatic negative greeted
this request. General Pratts eyes flashed
omInously. 1e was mounted on a fine.
powerful horse. and ha'ting until the wa
gon containing the belligcrcnts was few
yards away, the General put spurs to his
horse and charging upon the animal which
was drawing the refractory three. He
came up at full gallop, his horse strlcklng
the other quarteripgly on The foreshoulder
with tremendous force. Tho horse was
knocked down the embankmcnt, the wagon
upset and partially wrecked and the stub
born occupants found themselves sprawling
on the ground. Although tho shock of the
collision was great, Pratt kept his seat as
firmly as rock, and the crowd chcered
him lustily. Old Hickory could not re-
press smile at the ludicro,ls scene as the
three men took the unexpected tumble.
