report of the board of control OF the Utah
commission Of registration and elections
and of the Industrial Christian Home as
ISOLATION OF Utah says the fewness OF the
inmates OF the house is. in the opinion of
the commission. due TO the restraining
influence Of the Mormon church and fe-
male pride, which interprets a position 10
the Institution as evidence of degraded
pauperisnl. The commission is also Of
the opinion that If congress would make
an appropriation to enable them to pur-
chase necessary fixtures and appliances.
such rs sewing machines, etc, and employ
competent teachers, that industrial depart
ments could be opened in which girls
could be taught self-supporting vacations.
The report recommends that some discre-
ton be given the commission in the
matter of admission of beneficiaries and
that they be permitted to pay their
transportation expenses from different
parts of the territory to the home. by
which means they would secure a larger
number OF inmates Regarding the sue
cess of the undertaking. the report states
that the completion OF the home building
is so recent that the ASSOCIATION has not
yet bad a fair opportunity to demonstrate
Its succ sss.

Of the ~cablegrams between Parnell and
O'Brien on the subject of negotiations
for a reunion of the Irish party, O'Brien
makes the whole correspondence public.
Under date of New York, December I,
O'Brien cables Parnell as follows:
Il shrink with horror from taking sides
against you in the struggle which opens
such an appalling prospect OF ruin aud
disgrace to our cause. Throughout this
unhappy business | have abstained from
saying ono word personally offensive to
you and have read with deepest pain and
disgust some OF the personal attacks made
on you. And now, before Ireland is ir-
IetrievablY committed to a continuous
conflict. l appeal to you as the leader I
have for ten years been proud to follow.
and as a friend for whom l still feel a
warm affection, can you not see some way
by which, while safeguarding your own
reputation, the country may be saved
from The destruction which threatene it?''
Parnell replied Dec. S: Had you
wired prior to Saturday some suggestion
from me might have succeeded. Now it
is too late for me to rescue the seceders
from their false position. l shall, how
ever. be very glad to see you and consult
with you on your arrival in Europe.
'0'Brien replied to this to-day: Your
reply shows a total misunderstanding of
my message, which was prompted by re-
gard for your past services and suill exist
ing personal affection. The tone of reply
leaves little ground for hope. But hAv
ing regard to the horrible consequences to
the country of q prolonged struggle. am
still anxious 10 have an interview and
shall start Saturday for France on the
way To Ireland.n

Some of the Uses of Silk.

Silk is TN agreeable and healthy
material. Used in dress, it retains the
electricity of our bodies; in the
drapery of our rooms and furniture
covers it reflects the sunbeams, giving
them a quicker bril!iancy, and it
heightens colors with a charming
light It possesses an element of
cheerfulness, of which the dull sur.
face of wool and linen are destitute.
1t also promotes cleanliness, will not
readily imbibe dirt. and does not har-
Dor vermin as kindly as wool does.
Its continually growing use by man.
accordingly, is beneficial in many ways.
Grace and beauty, even. owe some
thing to silk. You can not stiffen it
like thick woolen or linen without de.
stroying all its gloss and value. The
more silk ribbons, therefore-the
more silk kerchiefs and robes are
used, instead of linen and wool-the
more graceful becomes the outward
aspect of mankind. A number of
strange. grotesque fashions, originat-
ing in the use of linen. would never
have been invented during the more
general employment of silk. The
huttering of ribbon. the rustling and
flowing skirts of silk. the silk kerchief
loosely kuotted round the neck, have
materially contributed to make our
customs more natural and pleasing to
the eye.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Effect o. Tuning Fork ON . Hungry
Old spider.
While a gentleman was watching
some spiders last summer it occurred
to him to try what effect tuning fork
would have on the insects. He sus-
pected they would regard the sound
just as they were in the habit of re-
garding the souna of fly. And sure
enough they did. He selected large,
ugly spider. that had been feasting on
hies for two months. The spider was
at one edge of its web. Sounding the
fork, he touched thread at the other
side OF the web, and watched the re-
suit Mr.. Spider had the buzzing
sound conveyed to him over his tele-
phone wires: but how was he to know
on which particular wire the sound was
travelling? He ran to the center of the
web very quickly, and felt all around
until he touched the thread against the
other end of which the fork was
sounding; then taking another thread
along just as man would take an ex-
ira piece of rope, he ran out to the
:ork and sprang upon il. But he re-
treated little way and looked at the
fork. He was puzzled He had ex-
pected to find buzzing fly. He got
on the fork again. and danced with
delight He had caught the sound of
the fly. and it was music to HIM. Our
