SILK INDUSTRY.

Mr.. Judd, who resides ON Vashon
Island, w. r., has leased portion
OF his farm on the island to China
man for period of fifteen years, for
the purpose of raising mulberry for
producing silk. The Chinaman
claims to have had great experience
In the production Of silk and is con
fident that the climate Is congenial
to the growth and work of the silk
worm, aud as To the mulberry trees
they have proved 10 grow here to
the greatest perfection. Who can
foretcll the result of this one ex-
pertinent In silk culture on the
Pacific coast, II may be a means of
originating an industry that may be
of vast Significance and Importance,
for IL successful in this first effort,
thousands of acres could soon he
placed under culture in mulberry
trees. The mulberry tree that pro.
duccs silk through the agency of the
silk-worm, Is not the fruit producing
mulberry. The fruit II produces be-
ing very insignificant and worthless;
the virtue of the tree is In the leaves
Il produces for food for the worms
producing the silken web. --

with the superior power and infiu-

the West will have majority in

THEIR FIRST BANANA.
Popsy and Dicky Pronounce the Dainty

Fruit Bitterer Than Boneset.
A young couple, said to have come from
the vicinity of Tunkhannock, Pa, caused
considerable merriment on the street Sat
urday afternoon, writes the Binghamton
On " Republican. They were evidently on
their bridal tour, and nothing was too good
for Popsy and her enamored liege. They
stopped at fruit stand on Court street, and
Popsy's fancy turned lightly from thoughts
OF love to a stalk of bananas swaying in
the breeze. She signified a wish to know

"Those are bananas" replied the dealer.
"Good to eatl" continued the Benedick
"Yes; they are considered very fine,''
was the reply.
Negotiations followed, and after little
dickering two were secured. The pair re-
garded their purchase with no little curios-
ity. A big buck-horn knife was brought
from the depths of Dicky's" pocket, and
he proceeded to make vigorous onslaught
on his prize.
"What awful big core they've got" re-
turned Popsy, tearing of part OF the skin
1.-THE blame thing is pretty much all
core" replied Dicky, casting a sidelong
look OF disgust at his partially played trophy
BY this time both had succeeded in removing
the SKIN and thrown the inside away Popsy
dantily ventured to try her pearly incis-
ors on the tough rind, Dicky watched the
maneuver solicitously.
"How do you like it," he asked.

ARTISTIC STOVES.
One Of the Crying Needs Of the Prese
Era Of Civilization.

One Of the Crying Needs Of the Present
Era Of Civilization.
The idea is Just suggested that an orna-
mental stove be put in the market, says the
Danbury Nei@. Not merely an ornamental
article, but one that is artistic, one that will
adorn as well as comfort the home circle
1t is good idea, and has our hearty sup
port In fact, we are anxious about it.
The stove has no nobler friend than the
editor Of this paper-no one who has given
it such careful, intelligent study-no one
who has so faithfully tried to understand it.
So we feel a peculiar right to speak out.
The article from which we gather the sug-
gestion says that there is no reason why
there should not be costly stove. We
don't exactly understand what is meant by
this. Every stove we have had any thing
to do with was costly enough. But, per-
haps the writer refers to the market price.
II so, we coincide with him. Stoves have
been made with a view to combine beauty
and utility with economy But we suppose
the people are now ripe for stove that
will be an adornment without reference
to the price-just as they feel in regard
to pictures, vases, etc. An article in
bronze and polished steel, with French
plate micas, mahogany doors and German
silver cornice, with an electroplated scuttle
and pearlhandled poker, would not be a
bad idea. Such stove, inclosed in rose
wood cabinet and busted off twice day by
team Of ostriches hired expressly for that
purpose, could not fail of elevating and en-
nobling the atmosphere of any home. It's
artistic loveliness would render its removal
unnecessary in the spring, and this Of itself
would save its cost in very little time.
But even should it have to be moved-what
Of itl No man with the least discernment
Of the beautiful in his nature would object
to being bucked in the abdomen by Ger
man silver cornice, or skinning his knuckles
on mahogany door, or even to plunging
headlong over an electroplated scuttle-and
as for sliding backward down an entire
flight Of stairs with so much of the chaste
and beautiful in his arms at once, nothing
would compare to it in the way Of luxurious
sensations. I.
Let US have an artistic stove, by all means,
with alabaster boots to put against it.
