SILK CULTURE,

Silk culture III tins country is still in the cN-
detrimental stage, and the result is doubtful.
Hon. John Nylc, an old silk manufacturer Of
Patterson, New Jersey, has recently visited the
south with view to encouraging the culture
of silk among the colored population. The
result Of his tour is rather Encouraging. llo
says that the silk growers i'll this country at
tempt too mnch, and unless they change their
methods they will never accomplish anything.
Mr. Ryle advises our silk growers to c0nfne
themselves to raising cocoons and the pro-
ducton Of eggs for seed for the next dozen
wears. We must first make 1t an established
fact that the supply is ready before the de-
mand for pierced cocoons will be transferred
from foreign countries to America. 1t will
taikc years Of cocoon raising before the erecting
of silk can be made practicable here. 1t ia
worthy Of note however, that other experts

families in the colony and 100000 mulbcrr!
trees will be planted at once. Another Frcncl
colony will shortly be located in North Caro-
lima, and like their Moore county compatnot
they will make a speciality of slkworm raising

Flying Hotel Flags.


Il see you have the Belgian flag
floating from the staff on the Market
street end of the hotel" remarked re-
porter to Manager Sedgwick at the
Palace Saturday.
YES, sir; that is in honor of dis
tinguished guest, his excellency the
Belgian minister. who is visiting this
city and occupies apartments here"
And the stars and stripes are flying
from the after-staf on the new Mont
gomery street front"
That's Gen. Sherman's flag that is,
it's for him."
You must keep o large quantity of
flags on hand" observed the reporter,
for l have noticed that when You have
a titled guest from abroad you hoist
his national colors."
Yes, we have quite o number of
flags, and when we have not the proper
one we generally find but little trouble
IN borrowing one from the consulate
representing the country from which
the guest may hail"
DO guests ever furnish you with
dags?"
No one ever has yet"
You had the flag of the Grand Mas
ter of the knights Templar up last
week; was not that an importation ?"
No, sir; l had that made for the &C.
casion; it is of bunting and cost SS5.
am having it laundried, and intend
presenting it to Past Grand Commander
Dean"
The reporter further learned that the
custom of flying flag from the hotel
standard has two-fold significance
1t IS intended as a mark of respect to
the particular guest, and, moreover, is
a fiuttering notice to the public that an
important parsonage from the countr.
designated by the flag is domiciled a.
