The Chinese Silk Festival.

We, who are always grateful to oul
benefactors, honor the inventor of the
art of silk culture with real perpetua
cult. Besides the temples which we have
erected in all the corners of the empire
her majesty the empress goes every year
at the Matching season, in person, with
all her suite, and in great pomp, to the
field of the mulberry, to sacrifice to the
goddess who was the queen of the En-.
peror Hoang-T. After the ceremony at
the temple, her majesty, followed by her
ladies, goes into the field, and, surrounded
by the farmers wives. cooks some null
berry leaves and lays them on q basket
containing the newly Matched worms.
The festival is closed with her winding a
cocoon by way of setting an example, in
the presence of the people, and distrib-
uting gifts to those persons who have
been reported by the authorities of their
villages as most worthy by reason OF
their fidelity in attention to the care Of
the silk worms.
This ceremony, which is one of the
most important of those her majesty has
TO perform during the year, is great
incentive to the silk raising population,
who cannot neglect their own work
when they see their sovereign occupied
in the same way. An old proverb says
that "an idle farmer causes two persons
to die of hunger, and woman who will
not weave will see ten dying of cold"
The proverb illustrates the value of en-
couragement, and shows that silk worm
raising and weaving are duties of the
women.-"Chinese Silk Lore" by Gen.
Tcheng Ri Tong in Popular Science

Care Neeeseary when nuninr Mushroou

One cannot be too careful about buying
mushrooms from gatherers, or from deal
ers who have bought from them, and cs.
pecially when mushrooms are very low in
price should care be taken, for the poison.
GUS toadstools are very apt to be mixed in
with their brothers-the mushrooms,
Many maintain that the difference is
easily detected, even by an amateur, but
have taken these statements with grain
OF salt ever since an employee of a mush-
room grower told me that he had picked
them professionally in England for years,
but that he would not wager on his ability
to always tell the difference between mush-
rooms and toadstools.-New York Tele-

.BoNEs AND OTHER RELICS,

New YORK, July 26.-"Bones and
other relics was the text of the Sun
day night sermon Of the Rev. W. H.
Tyndall at his Broome Street Taber-
nacle. Cards Of invitation, had been
previously issued
Mr.. Tyndall said that in announcing
a sermon on this subject he had no de
sire to sheer at or cast any reflections
on the religion of any denomination.
There, however, had been so much
written in the newspapers about the
bone of Saint Anne, which, he said,
was being worshiped at the church
on Seventy ninth street that he felt
constrained to say something about
this relic. He had been up there, and
there was certainly rushing business
being done.
The speaker then discRssedthe ques-
ton of the genuineness of the relic.
Mgr. OReilly had written long de
position proving that the bone was
authentic. but he based his informa-
ton on the Koran.
THE Mother of the Virgin was new
er heard of until the fourth century, y
said Tyndal. She was exhumed
from crypt somewhere in South
Franee.r Mr. Tyndall then told Of
some relics which are shown tourists
in European Cathedral towns.
Among these relies hecited por-
ton of the wine made by Jesus. some
of the heavily mama, piece Of
sponge which held the vinegar and
hyssop to the sacred lips, and, finally.
he said he had heard of an opaque
bottle containing some Of the darkness
which fell upon the land OF Egypt, and
a Jar. Of earth taken from a field near
Damascus which was the same kind of
soil out.of which the Almighty fashion
