n GREAT NEGLECTED. INDUSTRY.

The Womans Silk Culture Association of
the United States propose to hold an exhibit
of the silk productions Of the country in Phila-
delphia tins autumn. American silk ard silk
goods, from the worm spinning its cocoon 10
the finished heavy gros-grain fabric, viii be
shown, and all art schools are invited TO send
paintings and embroideries to make the display
more attractive.
This undertaking deserves more than pass
ing notice. If ever any enterprise earned sue
cess through its indomitable energy, -perse-
verance and courage this association of few
women has earned it. Their work itself is
based upon sound and practical policy. The
silk manufactures Of the United States average
about $30,O00,090 in value, and about
$l3,0O0,000 worth of raw silk is imported
as material. The aim of the association is, as
they state, to enable the thousands of needy
women and children in our own land to
raise this raw material. For this pur-
pose they have established schools, they sell
trees, eggs, books of instruction. and act as
mddlemen to buy cocoons from small pro-
ducers and forward them in gross to the mills
at Paterson and Boston all this without any
pecuniary profit to themselves. Silk cultIire
has been carried on more extensively in the
United States than was generally known, but,
Ouuly enough, both eggs and cocoons have
gone to Marseilles to find a market at the very
time our own silk manufacturers We're import
ing silk from France. This was principally
owing to the want of any machinery for reel
ing silk in this country. The mill owners
wanted the reeled silk, not tie cocoons. APP
peals have been made in vain to the Govern
msDt to establish a fature. But this Woman's
Association propose now to start one in Phila-
delphia. The great difficulty in the way of
this industry VIII be removed. They re-
quest silk culturisis to send tabulated
statements of their whole product in eggs,
cocoons both pierced and whole to the
Office OF TIE association, I,32S Chestnut-st.,
in order that definite idea may be obtained
OF the extent of the business, before the ex-
hibtion.
There is no Sudden enormous profit TO be
made in silk culture, and nothing in il TO
tempt men of capital 10 take it up 1t would
not pay them if they did. Men to tend the
worms cannot be hired here for 10 cents per
day, rs IN China. But it will pay women,
youths and the otherwise unemployed members
OF farmers family to engage in it, and out
of the vast aggregation of their individual
labors ii will, rs it has done in France,
prove n magnificent addition to our national
wealth.

thinks the best way to begin is by convinc-
ing the American people that they ought to
organize themselves into a huge police
for the suppression Of crime in sister Repub-
lie, where washerwomen pawn their customers
clothes, and the railroads gave up the
air brake because the worklnen would
steal the tubing. Then, too, the writer
admits that he had had his valise stolen
ten days before, and it may be left to any fair
minded man to say whether period of ten
days is long enough in which to recover ones
temper after loss of that kind.

a wagon which preceded them. but which
turned off from the highway just before reach
ing the crossing, that they neglected to watch
for indications of the train. If this should be
substantiated it would bar any personal claims
against the company. 1t would not protect
the corporation from the fine Of 500 or less,
or the engineer from the fine not exceeding
$50, or the Imprisonment in county Jail not
exceeding sixty days, which the bell and
whistle law imposes as direct punishment
for an engineers omission to give the signal
But it wOnld bar any action for damages
The duty of giving signals does not relieve
travellers from the obligation of exercising
due care; and the omission of signals does
not expose q company to pay damages where
the traveller brings injury upon himself by
his own inattention. An affecting illustration
is found in a case decided in Missouri one or
two years ago. There was little girl, eight
or nine years of age, described in the ease as
being the pet of her father and of the entire
village where she lived" and so "sprghtly
and attractive" that the Judge, in his grave,
written opinion, declared it not easy to avoid
being influenced by sympathy for her. A rail-
road track ran between her fathers dwelling
and his store. One day, when after dining at
home he returned to the store his daughter
accompanied him. As they walked along the
street toward the crossing of the track,
she saw that cars were standing which
almost blocked the way, and asked: "Papa,
how did you get over? ?" Her father Nex-
planned that he crossed the track at a gap
between two of the cars. She suddenly
shouted: 81 will beat you over to the store"
and ran in advance of him toward the gap. AS
she was passing between the cars those on one
side of her, without giving any signal that they
were about to move, were started and driven
against the others and the little girl was
crushed between the two, ut the waist. The
decision that no damages could be recov-
cred from the company because, no matter
how much the engineer might be to blame for
emitting to ring the bell, the father and the
child were in fault in her attempt to cross be-
tween the ears under the dangerous crcum-
stances Of the case.

JAPAN AGAIN.

The London Spectator for July 80 contains
an article which purports to be a fair statement
of the present condition of japan, especially
with regard to its relations to England. The
article is evidently intended as an answer to

the United States in their dealings with Japan,

Indigestion is an old trouble with the Presi-
dent and it is easy to understand that he may
be liable to occasional attacks of it at a time
when he can take no exercise. While there
have been comparatively few tnIns of it, one of
them came yesterday, preventing him from re-
tanning his food SO successfully as on the day
before. To these causes the attending physi-
clans attribute the fact that the fever remained
as aigh as ON the day before.

Shall The public be tax q 40 furnish readers with

by what rnles, whether a novel is immoral or not I
There is Mr.. Hubbard in Boston, who has rushed

aged, ard perhaps the senie. The trustees answer
that they must furnish Such books as the public
taxed 10 support the institution demand. We un-
derstand them declare that while they would not
circulate books of the immortality of which there
could be question, they are not bound to decide
points OF TASTE They have no doubt that they cir
cuiate many trashy works. but if The
public wishes for them that is the fault
OF the public, and not theirs. We have 10
doubt at least, of the convenience of this
decision. Once established the general theory that

with books 1t seems TO that the public must take
ITS chance OF being furnished with such books as il

they beheld Miss Jarbeau driving about
the grounds in an elegant turnuot. She
wore q lovely lace dress, her pink silk
stockings peeped from out her skirts; IN
short, she was picture OF ease, beauty
and taste. But how did she get into the
grounds, and why was she driving about
as if they belonged to her? The guests
asked these questions of the hostess and
Of each other, and at last Mrs. Hoey
