FLOR the Dispatch.l

Will silk-culture pay ? has been asked
many times by those interested IN THU
new industry. From my own experience
in raising the silk-worm, l eau safely say
that silk-culture gives very good re.
turn FOR the small expense incurred and
the labor aud attention required. The
work Of feeding silk-worms is not hard,
but requires your almost constant atten'
ton the last two weeks in feeding time.
People must know, sooner or later, that
intelligence is required TO get paying
crop of silk. The worms must be
fed at regular intervals. and their
trays must be kept clean OF litter.
Damp or wet leaves must not be fed.
Far better let your worms 90 unfed than
to feed damp leaves to them. Above all
let silk-culturists see to it that their
worms are not overcrowded on their feed
ing.trays. | believe more worms die
from this cause than any or all other
causes: A novice should not breed from
his or her own raising, but should
procure eggs from a sound breed
OF classic or thoroughbred silk
MOrInS. L nc Dtct are luo ytiiON
Cevennes and Vas, or Pyrenees, or large
white from Bagdad. The white are the
hardest breed bred in America. The
food for the silk-worms is mulberry and
Usage orange leaves. The varieties OF
the mulberry used are the common black
on. nigra) and the white on. ALBA. A
species new to this country is the Rus
sian mulberry on. tartarica). 1t is very
hardy, and its leaves make excellent
silk-worm food.
Any information / can give 10 those
interested in silk will be cheerfully given
if they will write me, with enclosed
stamp for return postage.
Very respectfully,
Mrs. $. a. CoYGER.

The annual report of the third as
sistant postmaster general shows that
the total cost of the postal service for
the fiscal year, including the amount
earned by the subsidized Pacific rail
road companies for mail transporta,
tion, was z5s, s,126,004. The postal and
money order receipts amounted TO S52,.
695, JIG, leaving deficiency of SD,
308.2s. This deficiency is owing main
ly to the great extension Of the free de.
livery service and the increase Of rail.
way mail transportation. The statistics
of letters, etc, transmitted during the
year, which are the first accurate sta.
tistics ever published by the depart
ment, are Letters mailed, 1,769, $780,
600; postal cards mailed, 372, 100000;
newspapers and periodicals mailed,
1,063, 100000; pieces of third and
fourth class matter; 100000. To-
tai, 3,578,0O0000. The third assistant
recommends that in some of the larger
cities pneumatic tubes, or some equiv.
alent underground system of trans.
porting the mails, be adopted. The
present contract for letter-sheet en-
velopes will be rescinded, and it is sug.
gested that as substitution the frank.
ing privilege members Of congress
have an annual allowance of money
for the purchase of postage stamps
with which to pay the postage or
speeches and other official matter seni
in the mails.

England, lord Salisbury said, had
promised to aid in the work as being
In accordance with her traditional
policy. The measures of the alliance
will be effected by naval and not mill
tary force. France has agreed to join
Germany and England, and will send
a man-of-war to cooperate with the

vessels.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1888-11-20

THE agitation Of the question OF
suppressing the slave trade is being
attended with results. The three
most advanced countries on the Eu-
ropean continent, England, Germany
and France, have taken it up and
have formed an alliance looking to
the extirpation of the traffic. This
has been made known lately
through the announcement by
the British premier in the house of
lords that Germany had invited Eng
land to cooperate with her in the
work of preventing more effectively
the expectation of slaves from and the
importation of arms to east Africa.

THE NERVES AND THE MOODS.

NOTHING in nature is more marvel
GUS than is the network of nerves con-
stituting what we sometimes care
lessly call our nervous system. Each
nerve is a telegraph1c cord In itself.
Each is a part of the whole complex
and inimitable system of telegraphy
by which messages from the head
quarters in the brain are sent to the
minute stations in the extremities.
If this telegraphic system of nerves
were erected on diminutiYe poles out
side of our bodies, it would be most
peculiar exhibit.
Happily for us, our nervous systems
are, as it were, a harmonious arrange
ment of underground wires, carefully
buried within us, and deftly con-
cealed from outside observation. We
cannot see them, nor know whether
they are too slack or too tightly
strained. We can tell when they are
disturbed, for neuralgia agony shoots
along their course from station to
station. When we are glum, and dis
NAL and low-spirited, the telegraphic
apparatus is out of order, and the
nerve forces are demoralized. When
nerves work wrong, it is as when tele-
graphic poles are shaky, or wires tan.
gled or crossed, or currents irregular
or batteries confused.
According to the irregularity of oul
nerves, so are our irregular moods
II all is right, we are happy and
CHEEKY and sunshiny. But let the
batteries blunder, or the currents
cross, or the wires become entangled
and we are irritable, sulky, il-tem.
pered, or angry, as the case may be
In some of our distressful moods We
pout and sulk, and misinterpret, and
misunderstood. We take offense
where no offense is intended, and we
impute to others motives which are
never conceived by them.
At times when the moods are out Of
sort, we think the whole world is per
scouting us, and we, the afflicted OBJ
iects of persecution. are above al
other human creatures singled out fol
martyrdom. There are circumstance
under which most of us can, without
insuperable difficulty, rise from the
moodiness which is brought about by
letting the nerves have their ownway
Mental and physical diet has mucf
to do with it. Brooding over real
sorrows and imaginary miseries vii
make the best of US moody ant
wretched Nursing grief and affront:
and telling the sad story of our woes
has as depressing an effect as narcotic
drugs. .---.,
Sleeping in unventilated rooms
often produces chronic wretchedness
even if these rooms be furnished with
appliances of wealth and refinement
Association with grim persons is de-
pressing and dispiriting. Good
health, mental, spiritual, and bodily
is worth working for. 1t casts out
the malaria of moodiness and lifts lis
into the sunlight of Joy. Good health
is more easily attained than mos
folks suppose.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1888-11-20

LORD STANTEY, governor general of
Canada, says the Canadians are not
less free than the citizens of the Unit
ed States, while freed from the dis
fractions of constantly recurring elec-
tions. This is said as a check to the
annexation sentiment which is con-
stantly enlarging in the dominion.
