the tale, and he told me that he, for
one, was ready to believe it, and
thought that any other man who had
received such blow from swans
wing rs he had suffered would be like
ly to believe italso. He was summoned
from his cottage by the news that one
OF the cygnets was in trouble. A boy
had been amusing himself with the
elegant sport of giving the cygnets
meat attached to long string. When
the cygnet had swallowed the meat
well down the boy would pull it up
again by means of the string. 1t was
great fun for the boy and the cygnet
was unable to express its feelings IN
telligently. On the occasion in ques-
ton however, the lump of meat stuck
it would not come out, and the boy,
fearing consequences, had let slip the
string and bolted. The cygnet did its
best with the string by swallowing sew
eral yards of it, but began to choke be-
fore it got to the end. At this juncture
my friend was summoned to his aid,
and simultaneously, as it appeared,

Nothing looks smarter than a very
wide shirt with bold flutes widening

reaching barely to the waist and
standing out in equally bold curves.
A good gown is in glossy, tan colored
cloth, of just the shade of a laurel
leaf that has lost its green, though re.
tanning its shape and gloss. The skirt
is cut in the new way, measuring
about seven yards round the hem, and
the bodice is made of black satin, with
q baby basque about two inches in
depth and dipping down in a tiny
point both back and front. The cape
is lined with black satin, fits closely
at the neck and on the shoulders and
measures about five yards round the
edge. No one could un1errate the
style of this gown, and il could be
copied in any material and color. In
green satin cloth, for instance, and
black satin it would be admirable,
and green is to be one of the foremost
colors in dress this winter; brown
taking first rank and black being worn

ARTIFICIAL SILK.
A False Worm of Glass Spinning
Wood Thread,
Forests to be Transformed Into
Silk Fabrics.

Colonel Albert II. Higgins of New
York, who has been visiting Yosemite
is extensively engaged in the manu-
facture of silk fabrics, and he has
recently returned from Europe, where
he made study of the artificial silk
made OF wood pulp, which promises
to usurp the function of the silk
worm.
While in Europe he had access to
oil information on the subject in pos
session of Claude Muher, United
States Consul at Bradford, England.
According to his belief the new pro-
cess promises to become n great factor
in commerce, and he thinks the Pa
cific coast peculiarly favorable To-
cality for the enterprise owing to its
pure water md vast acres of timber.
"The inventor of the marvellous
chemical process of making silk out
of wood" said Colonel Hogins, "is
Dr. Frederick Lehner, of Zurich,
Switzerland. 1t has already been
quietly patented in America, and it it
not improbable that the princely po-
sition of the silk worm will ere many
years be usurped by false worm of

wound in an artificial cocoon,

ton ut Bradford, and could see the
liquid contents of pot on top of n
frame turned before my eyes into
what appeared to be a pure silken
thread.
"Our Consul gave me many inter-
esting facts about the process. He
says that DIR. Lehner, the inventor,
has demonstrated fully that all vege-
tables fibers may be reduced to what
chemists call cellulose, by being prop
erly treated by acids and alkalies.
'Cellulose is the interesting material
from which silk is made, and cellu.
lose can be made from wood pulp,
the vase of iute and cotton mills and
other like materials. The chemist
treats the cellulose with nitric, sui
phuric and other acids, until it be-
comes practically fluid silk. 1t is in
the subsequent treatment of this fluid
and its conversion to textile fabric
that the main interest centers from
commercial point of view.
"The machine which transforms
this fluid into silk looks like spin
ming frame. The muddy or yellow
ish looking fluid is contained in glass
jar from which it is conveyed through
pipes to row of bent glass tubes.
each of which has fine nozzle. The
iiuid coagulates under treatment and
is thrown off in the form of fine fila
ments of brilliant luster and great
tenacity. They are then gathered to-
gether and spun like silk, and there
are few people, except experts with
microscopes who can tell the differ
ence. This provides new use for
the forests. San Francisco Examiner.

man be named for the Legislature
in the Republican County Conven-
on, and see what revolt will i'm
hediately take place. If the negros
had the manhood to demand repre-
isentation upon the Republican
county ticket, they would fare bet
ter at the hands of the lilly whites,
IN the future, than they have in the
past. We knew our reference to
the negro would stir up the ami
