SILK THREADS.

The business of producing silk may
be prosecuted with success all over the
middle and southern states of this coun-
try.
Superstitious persons say that a wart
cut off by tying silk thread round it
and drawing the ends tightly will never
return.
The silk from cocoons containing
male insects is said to be stronger and
better than that from cocoons made by
females.
In the early machines, electricity was
generated by turning a large glass
wheel which rubbed against silken
band or cloth.
The canopy of Mohammed's tomb
at Mecca is made of the heaviest variety
of black silk manufactured especially
for this purpose.
During the reign of Justinian Thebes,
Corfnth and Argos We're the leading
European centers for the manufacture
of silk.
The sillien thread is spun from two
oritices in the nose of the silk worm, the
two threads being united by gelatin
Gus substance.
Among the spoils taken by Judas
Maccabaeus from the Syrians, whom he
defeated in battle in the year 166 b. c.,
was quantity of silk.
After Napoleon was crowned emperor
his imperial toes became SO tender that
he could wear only new silken stock
ings. He never Wore a pair but three
days, then put on another, the discarded
stockings becoming the perquisite of
his valet.

Our residents are considerably annoy
ed by tramps going around from house

something to eat. Many of these travel

get work, but it is hard to distinguish
between the deserving ones and the
genuine buns.

Goethe had a large Roman nose,
rather more bent than usual in that
type.
The duke of Wellington was blessed
with a Roman nose of generous pro-

rest of his face.
The first duke of Marlborough had n
huge Roman nose, the nose of mill
tary conqueror.
portrait bust of Hannibal, which
has come down to us from Roman
times, represents him with a strong
Roman nose.
Atilla, the Hun. had a nose much
larger than was common among his
people. 1t was, however, of the snub
variety, the nostrils opening directly
forward.
Alexander the Great had straight,
nose. 1t was rather more prominent
than usual, and toward the latter part
of his short life became rcd from his
dissipated habits.

Board Appointed To Fix Upon Proper
Food for Soldiers in the Field,

Food for Soldiers In the Field,
Washington, March 31.-Despite a
belief to the contrary, the war depart
ment has determined to reopen the
question of obtaining an emergency
ration for the army, and orders have
been issued appointing board of

several military departments to con-
slider and recommend proper ration
for troops operating in emergencies. :"
Major-Gen. Miles and Commissary-
Gen. Stanton will appear before the
board to make suggestions and give
views. The board has been directed to
make recommendations on the subject
and to report upon the minimum
amount of articles of food necessary to
sustain soldier in health and activity
while in active service in the field for
limited period. The whole subject
was considered some time ago by the
commissary department and investiga-
tions were made and reports written
by the principal substance officers
in the eight military departments.
Samples of the emergency rations
used by foreign countries have been
received at the war department and Ii
is proposed to look into the matter
thoroughly.

Announcement That IL VIII he Paid on
April 1 Came as IA Surprise.
Baltimore. March 31.-It was Off
cially announced at the treasury office
last night that the interest on the eX-
tended 12 per cent bonds of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
would be paid April l. The payment
of the interest on this issue may mean
that all interest charges will be met
when due. Considerable uncertainty
had been felt among Baltimore e Ohio
security holders as to whether or not
the interest payments would be made
1t was realized that default on April
l (some of the oldest bonds of the
company being included) would mean
no hope of getting any returns on
other bonds of the corporation and
there was, therefore, good feeling in
financial circles when the announce
ment was made.

ED PARTRIDGE OUT.
The Millionaire Wheat Pit Plunger Says
He Is Through with Speculation.

Chicago, March 31.-Ed Pardridge,
the millionaire plunger in the wheat
pit of the board of trade, and the most
conspicuous figure in the speculative
line since the days of sold Hutch, "
bought 4 1000, 900 bushels of wheat yes
terday and says he will now retire
from the market having no further in
terest in it. He said he was a sick
man physically and would have to give
up speculating. His appearance bore
out his statement as to his ill health.
His buying of such an immense line of
wheat was merely to cover his short
sales, so that he could quit the market
even. The market, in consequence,
was very much agitated and the price
rose from 63I to 643s cents bushel.
while the retiring plunger's brokers
were clammoring for his four million
bushels of short wheat. When they
had secured all they wanted the price
dropped to 63A.

UNCONSCIOUS HALF AN HOUR
Leeds, Defeated by Everhardt, Has a
Close Call for His Life.

Maspeth, L. L., March 31.-Jack
Everhardt defeated Horace Leeds last
night at the Empire Athletic club.
Leeds fell out from weakness after one
minute of the fifteenth round. Leeds
remained unconscious for more than
thirty minutes The utmost secrecy
was observed while Leeds lay in the
dressing room. The police kept every
one out. Two physicians worked over
him for half an hour before he showed
any signs of life just at 11:40 Leeds
opened his eyes and moved his head.
Consciousness returned slowly but
surely, and at a few minutes before
midnight Leeds was assisted from the
club house and taken to New York.
1t was believed for some time by the
physicians and the attendants that the
defeated pugilist would never regain
consciousness
