SILK Culture In Kansas.
% the Indiananolis IonrnaI-


1t may seem strange, but Kansas is
now the only silk-producing state in
America. Other states grow cocoons,
but only Kansas now unwinds the deli
cate fibre with which the worm cloisters
itself from the world.
The reason is that the government
stations, one at Philadelphia and one at
Washington, received no appropriation
from the last congress and the expert
ments at these points must stop for
the present; for silk-raising in America
is commercially yet in the experimental
state.
All Of the stations, called failures,
where the silk is reeled. and there are
only three of them, have required federal
or state support. The third flature,
which was visited by a Journal reporter,
is in the little town of Peabody, 184
miles west OF Kansas City, on the Santa
Fe road. It is known as the Kansas
silk station, and last year received from
the state legislature, dominated as it
was by the farmer element, an appro-
priation of $1,000. DR.. L. A. Buck,
superintendent of the station, had asked
for $4,000, but he says he received
more than he expected, for every appro-
priation was very closely scanned. The
legislature may well have been liberal
with the Kansas silk station, for it is the
forerunner of an industry which prom
ises to bring the state great wealth and
fame. Superintendent Buck, in his last
report to Governor Humphrey, says that
cocoon raising is extending to every
quarter of the state. The applications
for eggs come from forty-six counties.

Kansas Mhaat crop.
Kansas City MOI Journal.

Grain men are almost unanimous in
their belief that instead of Secretary of
State Mohler being correct in his esti-
mate that the wheat crop OF Kansas is
62,OOO,0OO bushels this year, that the
total will not fall short OF 100000
more.
There are many reasons for forming
this estimate. Mr.. Mohler estimated the
average yield per acre to be 1913, and
to offset this figure, from the Lest
sources of information to be had on
change, the yield will be much larger.
Reports from the interior show some
fields to give the enormous yield of fifty
bushels to the acre, and at no Office
could it be learned that field had been

himself an example OF another kind

IF cable report may be credited
controversy will be sharply revived
forthwith about the birthplace of
Columbus After exhaustive exami-
nation of all apparent claims to that
honor, Harrisse and others have re-
jected:the pretensions of Plaisance,
Cuccaro, Cogoleto, Prauello, Nervi,
Albissola, Bogliasco, Cosseria, Finale,
Oneglia, Quinto, Novare, Chiavari,
Milan and Modena The burden OF
the proof was in favor of Sayona and
after it of Genoa, until recently.
when exploration of archivistic evil
dence, chiefly In Madrid and Paris,
seemed conclusiyely to demonstrate
that the father of Columbus must
have lived in Genoa during the
period of the birth of all his children.
1t is claimed now that documents in
the military library at Savona JUS
tify the previous tradition that there
the explorer saw the world first But
it is added that the discovered doc
uments confer titles of nobility on
Columbus and his son. presumably
Ferdinand. This throws doubt on
their value but not on their validity.
1t was to procure these titles that
Columbus and Ferdinand resorted
to what may have seemed then only
courtly intrigue required by the times,
but what was in effect untruth about
the family and youth ofthe discoyerer.

AN interesting reminder OF the
Moors in Spain is opened to public
view in the convent of La Rabida,
which has been restored to the condi.
tion in which it was when Columbus
halted at its gate. While the Mo-
hometans were in control they built
a tomb for one of their priests OF
marabouts. Around it, initiating
the action of Christians in Jerusa-
lem, the Spaniards erected a chapel
which is part of the monastery over
which Juan Perez was prior when
little Diego Colon cried for hunger
and thirst between Huelva and Palos
and his father begged the Franciscan
monks to give the child a mouthful
of food and water. 1t was the prior
of La Rabida who induced Isabella to
listen to Columbus, whose tale won
his heart and fired his imagination.
The Columbus exhibit at Madrid, in
connection with which La Rabida
has been restored, should be brought
over to us as nearly as may be COM
plete. A reconstruction of the con-
vent is already secured for the big
fair.

Mr. F. W. CHENEY writes to the
American Angler that during the
years 1890 and 1891 he planted in
Chautauqua Lake 1,7OO. 600 young
muskallonge. This year owing to the
late cold season, he has not been so
successful, but is making fine pro-
gress. He is at work under the New
York Fish Commission. He catches
the fish in nets and matches the eggs
artificially. From a single fish he
gets as many as 800, 900 eggs. Mr.
Cheney scouts the idea that ''the
muskallonge is an overgrown pick
erel." But nobody but a chump be-
lieves that. The muskallonge is
scarcely akin to the pickerel. Mr..
Cheney says: 1.-THE male muskal-
longe rarely weighs over twenty
pounds, while the female weighs from
thirty to forty-fve pounds. In my
work Of propogating this fish I find
the proportion is about four males to
one female. The male fish has dark
bars on his sides and is brighter than
the female, the bars gradually fading
as the fish grows older"

THREE distinguished Frenchmen
are ia Chicago on Worlds Fair bust
ness They are the commissions r
from the French Government, the
architect appointed to make plans for
the French buildings and a painter
whose duty it will be to attend to the
decoration of these buildings. These
three gentlemen were taken to the
Worlds Fair grounds and they united
in a good-natured complaint that
their country had not been assigned
sufficient space. When reminded
that France had already been allotted
several acres of space, they replied by
putting in a request for. 200, 900
square feet more of ground. The
hOpefulness and YivacitY of the Latin
nature sometimes leads to the forma-
tiOn of extravagant plans, but there
is every reason to believe that the
three gentlemen from France know
what they are talking about when
they predict that their country will
produce an exhibit at the Fair I'M
rivaled by that of any other nation.

Of bread Much fun has been made
of the cooking school, and the news
paper paragrapher, when he has
nothing else to do, invariably takes a
fling at the cooking school graduate.
1t is true that there is no place like
a good d-fashioned kitchen in which
to learn how to bake bread and pies
and stew apple sauce. But the
mothers of our wealthy girls rarely
go into the kitchen. The cooking
school therefore becomes a necessity,
unless the divine art of preparing
food is to be turned over entirely to
Bridget. There is no reason why
cooking schools should not be practi-
cal institutions, and there is no doubt
that many of them are.

RHEUMATISM.
An Eminent Physician on = Popular
Disease.

EDITOR: viii you please decide bet
by stating what muscular rheumatism
is, and if many people in this part of
the country are affected?
On receipt of the above communica-
ton San Francisco Examiner reporter
was detailed to interview physician
who understood the disease thoroughly.
1t was shown by investigation that more
sufferers from rheumatism were treated
at the Cosmopolitan Dispensary, Market,
Stockton and Ellis streets, than by one
tenth of the entire medical profession of
San Francisco. There were a number
of patients sitting in the large reception
room when the reporter reached there,
but an usher showed him into the Office
of the physician-in-chief without delay.
The latter is man who bears the proud
distinction of graduating in London and
afteyward graduating at Bellevue, New
York city.
II want to learn something about
rheumatism, DOCTOR" exclaimed the re-
porter.
Rheumatism is liable to afflict the
apparently most healthy of people, he
said, and more especial by muscular rheu-
matism. 1t is supposed to be frequently,
if not generally, caused by suppression
of the skin, and attributed mainly to
the atmospheric actions upon the surface
of the body. 1t does not necessarily
follow that it is the result of cold. In
many cases the disease is of hereditary
character, in which case it's cure is more
difficult than under ordinary circum-
stances. 1t has been known to attack
children, but such instances are very
rare. In the majority of cases the suf-
the ages of Is and so years. AS a gen.
eral rule it attacks men mostly, and if
the average man reaches the age OF 30
years without having experienced its
tortures his chance for getting it is
smaller.
"What are the first symptoms of mus
cular rheumatism?"
"A heavy, dull pain is felt in certain
muscles, which increases and finally be-
comes severe, and sometimes so excru-
ciating that the patient will cry aloud.
Voluntary movements, which occasion
| the severe pain, are avoided as much as
possible, but as it is absolutely impos-
sible to maintain rigidly fixed positions
of the body as whole or of its different
parts, the affected muscles are at times
thrown into painful contraction, how
ever much the patient may desire to
| avoid Them"
"Do you treat many cases of rheuma-
| tism?" -
eyes, sir; great many. We have a
specialist who devotes his time exclu-
sively to that disease. Speaking on this
subject, here is a letter from Mr.. G. F.
Eckhart of Gilroy, CAL, which he states
we can make public"
The doctor handed the reporter the
letter, which read: "Gentlemen-I feel
grateful for the help have received at
your hands. Every day friends remark
to me that I look better, when only
short time ago they expected to hear of
my death. I feel that an institution
that has snatched me from the grave as
you have deserves the warmest encour-
agement. Believe me, gratefully yours
