Manufacturers Of Artificial Silk.

Artificial silk is the latest discovery,
and judging from the details of it that arc
to hand, it seems likely that the silk
worms occupation will soon be gone,
and that he may retire to his cocoon and
lament his lost Importance in silence.
The new material is made, we are told,
from kind of collodion, to which has
been added perchloride of iron and tan
mic acid. The process of manufacture is
somewhat complicated, but the result
seems to be all that can be desired in the
way of providing a substance practically
equal to good silk.-Frank Leslie's.

Printing on Green Paper.

Several of the French railway compa-
nies, and other public bodies. have
adopted the practice OF having their
printing done on green instead OF white
paper. The reason for this alteration Is
that they have concluded that the COM
bination Of white paper with black char
acters endangers the eyesight of their
work people. Black on green has al
ways been recognized as good combi-
nation for this purpose, and many rail-
way tickets are 80 printed.--New York

of human life in the world. 1t comes
at a time when the heart is warmest
and hopes should be brightest; when
the plans for the future take form'

do not believe that Europe can long
survive the strain of her standing ar

essary to keep those armies equipped
in the field. 1t is a direct perversion
of every intention of nature, and the
effect can but be a degeneration OF
the morals of the people. The hearts
of men ard women alike are broken,
and the boy who goes away hopetui
and pure of heart, if he returns, comes
with the rough and impure influences
