a FORTUNE in silk Refuse.

Forty years ago nearly every silk ware
house was great pile of rubbish, the
refuse Of the works. Ill-smelling, full
of leaves, sticks, dead silk worms and
imperfect cocoons, it was a;smost un-
attractive mass to go to work upon.
Warehousemen sold it, when they could,
as fertilizer, and were often glad enough
to give it away to secure its removal
Not one person in thousand would have
looked at Ii second time, much less
thought OF it as Il source OF wealth. But
1t attracted the attention of 5. c. Lister,
the English inventor and manufacturers
He saw ii contained a vast amount OF
good silk, which would be valuable for
ali fabrics permitting the use of short
threads, and set about inventing machin-
cry that would sort out all the silk in
those great piles of rubbish, amounting
IN every center of silk-raising to thou
sands of tons annually. Fortunately
success had already crowned his labors
in other directions, and he had time and
money as well as great inventive genius
TO give to the work. BY washing and
cleaning the waste he at last got 1t into
such shape that Il modified form of the
wool combing machine, which he per-
fected after years of effort, could be used
upon il. The RESULT is that over 5000 per-
sons are employed in working up the
silk thus saved into the finest OF sealslIin
plushes, ribbons, VelvetS and the like.
and Ar. Lister has been rewarded for his
great services to mankind with a vast
fortune.

She had a shrill young voice that per-
vaded the whole car, and when she spoke
to the infantile darling at her side, she
stopped over into baby talk that made all
the other passengers grit their teeth and
clutch the plush backs of the seats in
front. The car was full and the fond
young guardian of infancy and innocence
occupied the first seat. Back to back
with that was the seat that faced the
stove, and on this undesirable spot sat a
thin, old man, with three satchels and
chin whiSkerS.
the passengers began to relax their mus
cles and breathe freer, when the fusillade
suddenly began again.

The English PesuGivin2 Way to Amer

6PARROWS Los. NC SUPR 3MACT
The English PesuGivinG Way to Amer
lean song birds.
News comes from Pennsylvania that
the English sparrow is retiring before the
advance of our native song birds. At a
meeting in Pittsburg of the State Orni-
biological Association, DR.. Thomas l..
Hazard read an interesting report on the
bird population of the Allegheny parks.
In 1875 the Park Commissioners imported
seventy-five sparrows from Philadelphia
and took such good care of them that all
but three died. The three survivors man
aged to escape from the shelter provided
for them, and a return to their natural
habits filled them with health and vlgor.
They began to raise families, and In a
few years there were hordes of sparrows,
While nearly all other birds were driven
out OF the parks by their pugnaclous enc
mics.
Lately, however, the sparrows seem to
be less aggressive than they formerly
were. Last spring DIR. Hazard counted
in the parks nine robins, four orioles,
several bluebirds and other song birds.
There had been seen in the parks also
during the summer a red-headed wood
pecker, downy woodpecker flicker,
yellow warblers and several other repre-
sentative birds OF sweet song and bright
was that DIR. Hazard lad counted
this fall in the parks five robinsf nests
i'll good repair and three of last
years slightly damaged, four orioles
nests in good repair and four not so
good, as well as eleven other nests built
by desirable birds of one sort or another.
This made total of twenty-seven nests,
whereas two years ago he had been able
to find but two such birds nests.
DR.. Hazard is led to hope from his OBJ
servations that native American birds are
losing their fear of the sparrow and that
the despotic reign of the latter may be
near its end. Although as hostile as ever,
the sparrows seem TO be growing more
discreet in their attacks. At any rate,
robins and other birds esteemed for their
plulnage and song appear in increasing
mum bers year by year, and show the dis
position, as we'll as ability, to hold their
own. An interesting statement is that
some birds, noticing that sparrows
summed the tops of high trees, aban-
doned their habit of building their nests
near the ground and established their
homes in lofty perches. This affords an
example of reason overcoming instinct
in the bird mind. If the aggressions OF
the sparrow are to be checked by more
pluck and persistence OF the part of other
birds, the fact will be both interesting
and welcome.

The English Laureateship,

Sir Edwin Arnold will stay in Eng
land this year. He is looking after his
chances for the laureateship. The old
man who has been making gOddesses out
of Japanese women is conceited enough
to think that he can fill Lord Tennvson,s s
place. He will come nearer to it than
some of the other candidates. But the
way for Gladstone to distinguish himself
is to appoint Jean Ingelow This is the

AN UNTOLD STORY.
How the Tramp end His Prosperous
Fellow-Neteran Mot and Parted

Fellow-Veteran Met and Parted.
He was an old man, gray-haired and
wrinkled. And he was a typical tran1p
too-dirty and slovenly appearing as if
he were constantly on the alert LOOKING
for a kick or blow, says writer in the
Detroit Free Press. I was in the wait
ing-room killing time, for the train was
an hour late, and when l saw him siding
toward me | buried myself in the paper'
lie passed the policeman unnoticed and
was just about to address me. when q
handsome and elegantly attired gentle
man uttered a half-Suppressed eXclama-
ton, and glancing up | saw the two op-
posites gazing at each other. One hand
some as picture, with an open. frank
countenance, and keen but tender eve:
the other, slovenly and slouching, with
blurred eye, and sneaking, hang-dog
look.
They stared at each other for a moment.
when the handsome gentleman pulled
out a plethoric pocketbook and handed it
over to the tramp. The latter's face
changed color Just little as a wave of
blood flowed mp under the dirt; but he
took the pocketbook, opened it, took out
one bill from large bundle of them, put
it into his trousers pocke (he had no coat
or vest, handed the other bills and the
Doclletbook back and slightly inclined
his head.
Not a word had been spoken, but now
the donor said quietly. but very earn
estly: won't you please take moro?
Just this once?''
The only answer was deeper flush of
the face and negative movement of the
head, as he turned and passed out into
the night.
There was q heart story back of it all.
but even when the donor sat down beside
me and sighed4 could not bring myself
to the point ofintruding upon his privacy.
After few minutes he reused himself
as from q trance and saw me gazing at
him with an interest l could not conceal.
and, as he sprang to his feet at the calling
of his train, he passed by me going out
the door and remarked:
zone of the debts man can never fully
repay-a reminiscence of Shiloh.'
And fancy was left to fill out the story.

maintain their distinctions. and it would
puzzle the student still more to trace
back the vagaries which often Sprang

sonal ambitions. Even If this could be
done it would be likely to set the young

The Chicago Interior (Pres.) says: SIT
is in the style in some quarters now to re-
iterate the statement that the Presbvte-
rian Church exists Tor the purpose of ele-
waiting and preserving doctrinal formu-
las, the products of intellectual processes
and should it fail to do this its reason for
existence would be gone. This is a schol-
astic idea, which, surviving beyond its
time, is grotesquely out of harmony with
its surroundings. The idea originated
when there was not Protestant mission
ary in the world. Had the church not
outgrown it, there never would have been
one. After the Protestant Reformation
the most important and necessary work
before the church was the systematization
OF doctrine. 1t corresponded to the build
ing of Notifications for defense. and the
supply of the magazines-all of which
were then essential to her existence and
usefulness. But the purpose of the ex-
istence OF the Presbyterian Church is not
the same as that of London Tower or an
Egyptian tomb, to preserve ancient ar
NOR, ancient inscriptions, or the jewels of
the crown. Had it no other purpose it
would long since have been abandoned
