Rose Eytinge Astonishes a Puppy.
Sacramento Bee.

Some time ago when Miss Rose Eytinge
was member of The Union Square Com
pany, she was present in the audience at a
matinee performance of some play in which
she was not cast. Directly in front of her
eat pretty and well-dressed young girl and
loud, conceited and voluble young man.
Internationally, Miss Eytinge overheard
their conversation just as the young man
mentioned her own name.
"Rose Eytingei Why, 1 know her well, /"

girl, obviously.
"Oh, yes" said the young man; ~ know
the fellow who pays all her bills. He's a
great friend of mine. In fact, I'm the only
outsider who is admitted to her house."
This was more than Miss Eytinge could
stand. Putting her face between the pratt
ting pair. she said:
"Be kind enough, young lady, to look at
me-"
The young lady looked-and started.
''Do you know who / ann"

stammered.

Then take my advice, my dear young

The frightened girl hastily got up and,
without word, left her seat and her com
panion. The latter, crimson with shame
and eyed with amazement by every body
else in the house. stood not upon the order
of bis going, but went at once-in an oppo-
site direction.

Don't scowl; it spoils faces. Before YOU
know it your forehead will resemble a small
railroad map. There is a grand trunk line
now from your cowlick to the edge Of your
nose, intorsected by parallel lines, running
east and west, with curves srching your
eyebrows; and, Oh, how much older you
look for i'll Scowling is habit that steals
upon US unawares. We frown when the
light is too strong and when it is too weak.
We tie our brows into knot when we are
thinking, and knit them even more tightly
when we can not think. There is no de-
nying that there are plenty of things 10

Eors and siIk Culture.

The Philadelphia Times gives the follow
ing account of the Boys Silk Culture Asso-
citation of the United States now at work in
a room at the corner of Eighth street and
Paramount avenue, Philadelphia: at only
boasts of three members, the oldest but seven
teen years Of age, but all are active workers,
and in the eight months of its existence
the Society has demonstrated the power of
mere boys in the heart of the city to raise
worms and prepare raw silk Of the best
grades and at financial profit. In May,
1881, Edward Matlack, fifteen years old
and George Z. Field, sixteen years old, both
pupils in the public schools, organized the
Association. Both were amateur naturalists,
had become interested in silk culture during
the Centennial year and had lost no oppor-
tunity after that time to study the habits OF
the worms and the manufacture of the silk
The new firm as soon as organized, pre-
pared for an energetic campaign, leased
their room and set about their preparations.
Eggs were obtained from all quarters, and
dnring the season ten thousand worms were
raised. The boys with their own hands pre-
pared the trays on which the worms were
placed before spinning, the receptacles for
the cOcOons, and after repeated efforts sue
ceeded in perfecting an improved reel.
They compiled and published a pamphlet
containing an account of the habits, changes
and diseases of the common silkworm, rules
for silk culture and instructions in reeling.
Under a permit granted by Superintendent
Thsyer the boys foraged in the Park for

voked. and the worms almost starved before
their frantic proprietors could obtain from
Commissioner Remak q renewal Of priv
leges. The season, however, passed over
prosperously, and the silk from the cocoons
was successfully reeled, together withseveral
lots from cocoons raised by outside parties.
At present the boys are employing all the
time which they can spare from their
studies TO the Teeling of cOcOOns raised by
the mother of Bayard Taylor, the lady who
won a prize for one OF the best exhibits at
the recent display Of the Women's Silk
Culture Association. Mrs. Taylor uses tie
] silk for sewing and has given it to the boys
90 ascertain the smallest possible waste
which can result from careful Keeling. Six
teen of tae fibres are being united into a
single thread, thirty-two cococns being
reeled at the same time The reel upon
which the work il being done is the espe-
cal pride of the Association. It is seventy
two inches in circumference, was made by
the boys alone, and has, as they claim, two
important improvements over every other
machine Of the kind. The arms of the reel
are so joined that they can be readily closed
together, affording opportunity 10 remove
the reeled silk, and the thread from the CO.
coons passes in its way TO the reel over
shifting bar, which moves regularly 10 and
fro whenever the crank which operates the
wheel is turned 1t is expected that the
reeled silk from Mrs. Taylor's cocoons
will amount to more than one-half Of their
entire weight. The Association recently
received an accession in the person

French, japanese, BivOltin and native silk

ing of 100000 worms The netting frames
or trays are arranged in long rows, one
above the other, with wires connecting
them with the ground to carry OF the
electricity from the worms, as the breeders
say. The eggs are kept On ice during the
warm weather until it is time for them TO
be Matched, and great care is taken to keep
the travs properly labeled and to see that
all the worms on each are of the same age.
A large number Of little paper tunnels, each
with a hole nesr tho bottom for ventilation,
have been made, and it is in these that the
worms are placed when they begin to spin
their cocoons- At least $4,000 OF these concs
will be made during the season. The boys
give lessons in reeing and rearing the
worms and drive an energetic and moder-
stely profitable trade in silkworms, eggs
and cCcocns.

John Bright


Seventy years ago boy was born in
RochdalC, England, who was destined to
fill great place In the world. His parents
were Jacob and Martha Bright-people of
good old Quaker stock
Jacob Bright was cotton manufacturer,
and both he and his wife were beloved for
their charitable deeds. One Sunday Mrs.
Bright and little John were walking out and
the boy wore his pair of long trousers for
the iirst time. Of course he felt p:0ud of
them. But soon they met a poor woman
with her little boy, and he was clothed in
rags. Mrs. Bright stopped them, and the
result Of few minutes conversation was
that the poor woman and her ragged son re-
turned home with them, and Master John
had to strip off his new suit and let the
other boy put it on in place of his rags.
Mrs. BrIght's charity was very thorough.
At school young John was quick and in
dustrious, but his father thought business
more important than book learning; so a:
fifteen the boy was placed in his father
cotton mill. Fortunately for himself and
the world ne did not give up learning from
books when he left school, or he would not
have been the great man he is. As a boy
and young man he vas a good crIcketer,
and ali his life ne has been very fond of hsh-
ing, having caught minnOws and other
small fish in the river that ran by his home,
and salmon Of forty pounds weight in Scot
land and in Norway. At twenty two years
of age ne began training himself in public
speaking in literary Society Of which he
was one of the founders, and doubtless it is
to this early training thst he owes the honor
of being the greatest of English orators.
Mr.. Blight was first elected member of
Parliament in l843, and fourteen years later,
he was chosen to represent the great manu-
featuring town of Birmingham, which seat
he still occupies.
Mr. Bright's public life has been a busy
and useful one. No man has done more
for the benefit of the working classes than
he, and ne has never hesitated in the pursuit
of the course which he felt to be the right
one.
In this country the name of John Bright
is justly hOnored, for he was the only
English statesman who supported the Union
without wavering during the late War be-
tween the North and the South. November
16, Mr.. Bright celebrated his SEVENTEEN
birthday.
