The board of directors of the Mis-
souri, School for the Instruction of the
Blind held monthly session a fe w
days ago The board consists of Ben
jamin Blewett, president; DR.. H. NJ.
Post, Frank II. ONeil and T.. w. Ste
phens, of Columbia. 1t was decided to
introduce into the school a gymnasium
of moderate proportions for the physical
development of both girls and boys.
For some time past the matter of
using photograph in the institu-
ton has been considered, and it was de-
cided to procure an instrument. by way
of experiment, for use in the classes.
Most of the teaching has to be done
orally, and the teachers will record the
lessons on the photographic cylinders
and allow the scholars to reproduce them
at will. The building is now in much
better condition than itever was before,
as many improvements and sanitary
features have been introduced. Com
modious fire escapes have been erected
at each end of the building.
Silk Culture in Missouri.
Diversified industries have the lead in
Barry County at present, Judging from
the interest manifested in different
parts In three years the output of cot
ton has grown from nothing to 80,
pounds of the ginned article of superior
grade. In Kings Prairie township,
where there is a settlement of very in
telligent Italians, new industry has
been introduced, which bids fair to be-
come as profitable, or more SO, as cotton
raising on White river Two years ago
John T. Planchon secured small guam
tity of sillwOrm seed for the purpose
of experimenting, and carefully noted
the cost and time spent. At the end of
the season he found that for sixty
hours labor at odd times he re-
ceived fourteen dollars. This was
encouraging, and last year, though
still experimenting and with only q
rude apparatus, a dozen families pro-
duced between 700 and 500 pounds of
cocoons, which netted them from seven
ty-five cents to one dollar a pound; one
lady, though having two small chill
dren and her household duties to look
after, Melted 500 for pin money. Prep
arations are making for a more extern
sive prosecution of the business the
coming season, and if as satisfactory as
the past, the industry has come to stay.
Mr.. Planchon went to Europe last year
for the purpose of studying the best
methods of silk culture, and is doing
all he can to encourage his neigh bors
to enter the business. So far the Gov
eminent has been furnishing the seed
and has distributed 1000 mulberry trees
to those who would put them out and
care for them, but the largest part of
the food has been procured from the
Usage orange hedges which are quite
plentiful in that part of the county.
Further experiments on larger scale
will be watched with interest. as the
Indications are that they will be
crowned with success

Some men are possessed with tho
mania for belonging to secret societies.
No new order of that description comes
along that they do not join it, and the
number of letters that make up the list
of their titles exhausts and even dupli-
Gates the alphabet. One wonders how,
if they are faithful to their pledges,
they have time or spirit for doing any
thing but attending to them.-United
