The New SIX Industry.

The greatest incentive TO engage in
silk culture is the knowledge that there
is home market for $4,000 600 worth
of floss, which American manufacturers
are obliged TO import from foreign lands.
The other consideration is, that silk cul.
ture furnishes women and children in
the rural districts, with congepisl oc.
oupation that does not require constant
attention. and so will not interfere with
household duties.
In view, of these facts the Women's Is
Six Culture Association of Philadelphia
was organized two years ago, for the
purpose Of calling the attent ton of the
women of the country to the oppor.
tunity given them TO establish n new
industry, both suitable and profitable
and also to give the necessary instruo
tions 10 all desiring to engage in silk
culture.
The success Of this pioneer association
Is remarkable; there has been aroused
wide spread interest In the cultivation
Of cocoons, that must go on increasing
until the aim Of the association ia full
filled.
This fact was most forcibly presented
At the last exhibition Of the association,
at which the display OF cocoons was

What Is a Newspaper +!

A newspaper is business enterprise
and may be conducted on business
principles, Men are constantly asking
favors of newspapers which means
sacrifice Of space representing money,
who would never dream Of asking law
yers to take their pay in thanks. The
dead head is disappearing from other
departments of business life, and the
newspaper dead head, distinguished
though he be, must follow. Newspa.
pers, being business enterprises, must
live in a business way. II the public
does not support the best newspapers,
il must expect TO see the worst news
papers thrive. The journal is a product
rather than force. 1t will not reflect,
but represent the age il lives in. 1t is
true, and especially true of our own
country, that newspapers, in the hands
OF men having convictions and believ.
ing they could with this modern lever,
help to move the world. have accom-.
plished great things. Without them
the great movements of the past cen.
tury for the furtherance of personal
religious and political liberty would
have travelled at q snail's pace. But
this was possible only because they had
the support Of the best men and women
of the community. The newspaper can
lead, but the leadership implies fol.
lowing. As a rule newspapers are what
they make them. The responsibility OF
the subscriber is as great in it's way as
that Of the editor. The surest way OF
keeping the standards of journalism
high, and Of raising them, is for that
portion of the public who knows the
necessity Of dignifed and able press
to withhold its support altogether from
newspapers which cater to deprayed
tastes and are reckless Of the truth, and
give It TO newspapers which can safely
be taken into the family, and are moi
only decent but just

WASHINGTON, June S.
In 1873 patents were issued by the
Interior Department to the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company for over seven
hundred thousand acres of land in
Minnesota, the cost Of surveying which
was something over $4,000.
At the time these patents were issued
the fact was overlooked that a prior act
had provided that the cost Of surveying.
selecting and conveying lands must be
paid by the railroad company before the
patent was issued. The costs in this
case not having been demanded of the
company 10y the government before
patenting, the company afterwards re.
fused to pay them.
Secretary Teller has just decided that
said expenses must be paid by the rail.

Commissioner of the General Land
Office to certify no further lands to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company un.

Dickens and the Queen.

Apropos Of the silly rumor that the
Queen had commanded dramatic
performance at Windsor, a story went
round the country papers to the effect
that when Dickens and his friends were
requested to act 'The Frozen Deep"
at the Castle, he declined, because he
found that the ladies of his family
could not be received as guests by the
Queen on the occasion of the perform
ance. The real truth was, when Sir
Charles Phipps wrote to intimate the
Queens earnest desire to witness a per-
formance of the piece, Dickens con-
suited with all of his company before
sending an answer, and they unani-
mously agreed with the view which he
had taken from the first be-that the
invitation should be declined, and there
were many excellent reasons to Justly
this course. 1t was in answer to sec
end letter from Sir Charles Phipps that
Dickens suggested that, although he
and his friends could not see their way
to 60 to Windsor, yet there could be no
reason why the Queen should not at.
tend special performance in London.
The hint was eagerly taken, and the
performance was given at the Gallery
of Illustrations. It was successful in
every way, and Dickens afterward de-
clared that they never had better au-
dience, for Prince Albert wept bitterly,
and the Queen and King Leopold Sob
bed themselves speeches.. After the
play message was sent "behind" re-
questing that Dickens and Wilkie Col
ms would wait upon her Majesty
However, they declined to come forth
in their costumes, but the next day
they both received letters expressing
the qualification of the royal party al
the play and its performance, with a
request that a copy of the play might
be sent to Windsor; SO it was written
out on gilt edge paper, bound in scar
let morocco, and forwarded to the cas-.
tie, where, no doubt, it is still to be
found in the ibrary.-London Truth.

How False Teeth are Made.

A reporter of the Star recently visited
a factory in this city where false teeth
are made by the million. In the pro-
cess of manufacture the slick and field
spar in their crude state are submitted
to red heat and then suddenly thrown
into cold water, the effect being to rem
der them more easily pulverized. Hav-
ing been ground very fine in water and
the waite evaporated, the two materials
mentioned are dried and sifted. The
kaolin is washed free from impurities
These materials, with feldspar, sponge,
platina, and Aux in proper proportion
for the enamel, are mixed with water
and worked into masses, resembling
putty. This done, the unbaked pro-
celain masses are ready for the mold
ing room. The moulds are in two
pieces, and are made of brass, one-half
of the teeth or sections being on either
side. The coloring materials are first
placed in the exact position and guam
tity required, and the body of the tooth
and the gum is inserted in Jumps cor
responding to the size of the teeth. The
moulds are then closed, and they are
dried by slow heat When perfectly
dry they are taken out and sent to the
trimmer's room. The trimmers re-
move imperfections. and send them in
trays of fire clay to the furnace, where.
having remained for twenty minutes,
they are Wilmington Star.

Points of Etiquette.

it is with view of elevating the pop
ular taste, and etherealizing, so to speak,
the manners and customs of our read
ers, that we give below few hints upon
table etiquette
Macaroni should be cut into short
pieces and eaten with an even, graceful
motion, not absorbed by the yard.
Oranges are held on fork while be-
ing peeled, and the facetious style of
squirting the juice into the eyes of your
host is au revOir.
Stones in cherries and other fruit
should not be placed on the table cloth,
but slid quietly and unostentatiously in
to the pocket of your neighbor, or noise
lessly tossed under the table.
If, by mistake, you drink out of your
finger bowl, laugh heartily and make
some facetious remark, which will
change the course of conversation, and
renew the friendly feeling among the
members of the party.
In drinking wine. when you get to
the bottom Of the glass, do not throw
your head back and draw in your breath
like the exhaust of bath-tub in order
to get the last drop, as it engenders a
feeling of the most depressing melan-
choly among the guests.
If you cannot accept an invitation to
supper, do not write your regrets on
the back of pool check with a blue
lead pencil. This is not regarded as RI
cochet. A simple note to your host in
forming him that your washerwoman
refuses to relent is sufficient.
On seating yourself at the table, draw
off your gloves and put them in your
lap under your napkin. Do not put
them in the gravy, as it would spoil the
gloves and cast a gloom over the gravy.
If you have just cleaned your gloves
with benzine, you must leave them out
in the front yard Cincinnati Fair

They Didn't Lynch Him.
Detroit Free Press.

In the pioneer days of Michigan a
horse thief or murderer stood as good a
chance of being run up to a limb as
one of those characters does now in the
far west. One night, thirty years ago,
a stranger, who had not only stolen a
horse but shot one of his pursuers, was
overhauled near De Witt, Clinton coun-
ty, and taken to Jail. In half an hour
a mob was drummed up and proceeded
to the Jail to remove the prisoner and
hang him. One of the foremost was a
lawyer named Green, dead long since.
In fact he led the mob and acted as
spokesman. When the crowd reached
the cooler" Green stepped forward
alone to demand the prisoner of the
jsiler, and after a conference lasting
five minutes he returned to the mob
and said:
Gentlemen, I at first believed the
prisoner to be guilty, but now l have
my doubts about it. In fact, / firmly
believe in his innocence"
Glow dc you make that out?" yelled
dozen men.
"Why, gentlemen, at first supposed
he was some poor coon without a dol
lar in his pocket, but | have learned
that ne has over 5000 in cash, and it is
my further duty to inform you that he
has retained me as counsel. Gentle
men, stand back The first red-handed
villain who raises a hand against my
innocent client, will pass the next ten
years in state prison ~

After that I think that we were both

That night went up to the Vale OF
Cruix, and l told Mary that my mar
rage was broken off, and that she was

tried to summon up her pride and re-
fuse me, but failed in the attempt, and
let me take her to my heart. To-day

THE DATE THE RING

Tho women dressed her for farewell
In snowy silk and lace;
A crown of her braided hair they set
Above her quiet face,
And on her placid breast they laid
White roses as became maid.
Her mother bent and kissed her lips.
And kissed her braided hair,
And folded down the peaceful hands
Upon the bosom fair.
And, weeping, saw on one a ring,
little golden, time-worn thing.
She ook it from the icy hand
And looked Tor rhyme or name
Something to say why it was there,
From whose fond thought it came.
She only saw, through many tear,
A date long past-tiay, month, and year.
Twas some schoolfellow's gift" she sighed
q The child forgot to show"
And put it back in its own place
With tender touch and slow:
And saw its tiny glitter rest
Like sunshine on that quiet breast.
All. little ring, you kept it well,
The secret Of your date!
Whateer its meaning it goes untold
Beyond the earth and fate;
Pain or blessing-who can say
How much Of either in it lay
We watch the light in our darling's eyes,
The lines that the slow years bring,
Yet know as little what they mean
As the secret of the ring.
Joy or sorrow-God only knows
How much of both lies under the rose.
