Silk.RaIslng in America.

A 'tWomen's Sales.--future association, =
one of the indirect results of the Centen-
NAL Exposition, exists in Philadelphia,
with the purpose Of promoting silk-cuI-
ture as q profitable work for women.
This was organized, with purely phil
anthropic" purpose, BY Philadelphia
ladies' headed by Mrs. John Lucas, in
April, 1880; it has permanent Offices az
1923 Chestnut street. where reeling is
taught, silk-worm eggs, mulberry trees
aud hand reels sold, and books Of in
struction, which it publishes, supplied.
Two silk exhibitions have been held, and
the association boasts twelve auxiliaries
in as many States, and has had, it states,
over thirty thousand correspondents. It
is hoped ultimately toopen tilature. Its
prospectus, in presenting the claims of
Americas new industry, says: It can
be prosecuted BY the feebler members Of
the family, women and children, or aged
persons, to whom the severer country
life is burden, and the compensation is
sure; for IL our country Is sending annu-
ally to foreign lands SIS, 600, 900 for raw
silk, there Is no reason Why this amount
OF money can not be divided among our
own American culturists. The crop or
product Is not perishable, like much Of
the farm product, and the trees, once
planted and grown. yield = perpetual
supply Of food for the silk worms, care
being taken only In the annual picking

The production Of &c, 900 pounds Of
cocoons was reported by correspondents
Of the association IN 1883, largely from
Southern New Jersey and from the
South. Harpsras Magazine.
