and softness, is not fit to bs rolled on spoOls, the substance being still eol- lodion and not silk. Now, to produce ihe hardness desired, very unique but simple method is resorted to-that is, the little glass tube which forms part of the mechanism is surrounded by q small reservoir of the same material constantly filled with water, and when the thread issues from the aperture mentioned il trayerses this water, which takes mp the ether and alcohol, and the eollodion becomes solidiaed, or In other words Is transformed into m elastic thread, as resisting and brilliant as or dinary silk. Again, on account of the materials employed in the manufacture of such silk, wood. ether, and alcohol, the stuff produced has been supposed to be dangerously intammable. Such Il contingency is now obviated, 1t seems, by simply plunsing the spun thread in Il solution of ammonia, thus rendering 1t as slow of combustion as any other material,

many of the labor unions are withhold ing their sympathy. They don't sec why they should strike for the beDeiit of Debs and hls American Railway Union when they can clearly sec that he and 1t are playing losing game. They think it wise to remain at work when nothing Is to be gained by throwing away their bread and butter.
 The downfall of Debs will be com plete. IL ought to be. He has been the leader In the most foolish of all the foolish sympathetic strikss that have taken place in this country. 1t Is evi- dent, too, that he has been aiming through hls rebellion to make himself and his union tho supreme ,,"labor'' power in this country. This fact per hnps explains why he hnsn't received any aid or sympathy from some of the strongest and best unions. whose members md leaders have intel- ligenoe enough to know that they would have nothing to gain and mnch to lose by becoming 0 mere knot in the tail of Dcbs' kite. They have carefully kept out of the conspiracy, and labor lenders like Arthur and Will kinson have not hesitated to publicly declare that Debs' scheme would in- evitably be failure. In so doing they have shown their sagaoity and their fit- ness for the places they hold. If Debs had succeeded in roplng them in they would havo had to share in the humilia- ton and disgrace which are overriding him. They would also have had to share in the legal penalties which are pretty sure to be imposed upon those who have planned and carried out the conspiracy.
 Every dog must have his day. Debs has had hls, and though short 1t has been lively. When he becomes quiet again he will have great deal to think of. And as he thinks he will probably wonder how he was able to scare the United States for whole week. And when he is properly explained the Uni ted States will have the same wonder.

 'ft is also needless to remark that nothing could be more harmful than to make young girls give theatrical en- tertainments or to excite their emula- ton by class distinctions. That IS all good enough for men who may be called upon to speak in public. and who, being obliged to learn many things. have need of stimuiants In the form of emulation. But no emulation Is need cd for young girls. Their passions must not be aroused, or their vanity. the most active of the passions of the sex. brought into play. Light punish- ments and the praise of the directors seem to me sufficient for all penalties and rewards. But classieation by means of ribbons does not. in my opin- ion. produce a good effect, if 1t has any other object than that of distinguishing the ages of the pupils. or If 1t establish es any kind Of superiority.

PATRIOTIC FEELING.

A resolution adopted by the United States senate yesterday expresses the feeling of great majority of the people of this country. It Is: Resolved, That the senate endorses the prompt and vigorous measures adopted by the pres- ident of the United States and the mem- bers of hls administration to repulse and repress by military force the inter- ference of lawless men with the due process of the laws of the United States and with the transportation of the mails of the United States and with the commerce among the States. The ac- tion of the president and his adminis- tration has the full sympathy and sup port of the law-abiding masses of the people of the United States, and he will be supported by all departments of the government and by the power and re- sources of the entire nation.
 When Debs began to proclaim he an- nounced that only 10 per cent. of the people were against him, and he talked as if he thought they were waveTing. He knows better now. His rebellion has stirred the patriotism of the people. They are ready to fight, if necessary, for the preservation of their govern ment and the abolition of his preten- sions. They feel that President Cleve- land has acted vigorously and wisely, and they are prepared to support him. Patriotism has swept politics out of sight for while.

APPROXIMATIONS.

Speaking of Authorizations, the Board of Health has discovered that 1t was af- hicted with one when 1t had the notion that it could fine Contractor Swayne without giving him show for his money. And unless we are greatly mis- taken it will find that it has been af- 1icted with another halluoination in thinking that it could revoke the remarkable contract that was made between him and the Board. It is pain ful to see that the Board. which was so prompt and acute in seeing Swayne's hallucinations, has been so blind to it's own. But it is, we suppose. well es- tablished thnt people who have halluci- nations are apt to think that they are the sound ones in Q world of hallucina- tors.

 "The establishment of Eeouen must be beautiful in all that is monumental and simple in everything that belongs to education. Take good care not to follow the example of the old house of Saint-Cyr where considerable sums of money were spent and where young la dies were badly trained.
 "The employment and the diatribu- tion of the employment of time should form the principal objects of your at tention. What will be taught to the young ladies who will be educated at Ecouen? You must first begin with re- ligion in all it's severity. Admit of no modification on this point. Religion is an important affair in public institu- ton for young girls. Whatever may be said to the contrary, it remains the sur est guarantee for mothers and for hus- bands Teach the girls to believe and not to reason.

But it is just the reverse in the case of the, in stitution at Ecouen. Almost all the in struction to be taught there should be that of the Bible. It IS my desire that there should come out of this estah- lishment not very accomplished Wo- men, but very virtuous women. l want their attractions to be in their con- duct and in their goodness, and not in brilliancy or amusement. Consequent ly there must be at Ecouen 8 director, a man of intelligence, of ripe years and good morals. Each day the pupils should gay their regular prayers, should AtaI AlheS, anu Iss:clVe lehsSHo m tASh catechism. This should be the most important portion of their education. In addition they should be taught to cipher and to write. And they should learn the principles. of their language, so that they can know something Of or biography. They should be taught a little geography and history, but mo Greek or Latin or any foreign Ian guage. A little hotany might be taught to the older pupils with a light aoaFse tn natural philosophy. In physics they should be confined to just what is strictly necessary to prevent gross lg- norance or stupid superstition, and they should be kept to facts, without arguments, which point directly or in directly to first causes.
