his excuse.

nothing but barbed wire fence.

EXPERIMENT IN SILK CULTURE.
Silk Worm Eggs from Japan Developed
In America.

Silk Worm Eggs from Japan Developed
In America.
The superintendent of the reforma-
tory prison for women at Sherborn,
Mrs. Ellen C. johnson, who has for
years been one of the most enthusiastic
as well as most successful propagators
of the silk worm in this country, has
recently finished a highly interesting
experiment with eggs received direct
from Japan, where such speciality is
made Of this branch of domestic indus
try. Miss johnson having been engaged
in the work for quite time, the in
breeding process had, it was found,
lessened the value of the eggs obtained,
consequently the results were not as
satisfactory as could be wished for.
A few months ago, while Kosuki Tom
eoka, one of the chaplains in charge of
the prison interests in Hokido, where
are located five institutions of this kind,
was visiting the Sherborn reformatory,
Mrs. johnson asked him If she could OBJ
tain eggs of the silk worm in his native
country. He Immediately gave her II
letter assisting the superintendent to
accomplish her purpose. AS result of
this letter, there were mailed in two
queer looking bamboo rolls about 50,-
600 eggs of the worm, these being sent
on five different paper cards to which
they were fastened by glue or some
other adhesive substances. AS soon az
received in this country, the eggs were
placed in refrigerator, and later tho
process of Matching was gone through
with, but only about 1000 of the eggs
produced worms. This failure is at
tributed by Mrs. johnson to the fact
that perhaps the United States mail
bags, while coming from Japan, were
brought in too close contact with the
steam pipe on the boat, and in that
way the eggs were ovcrheated.
She has this satisfaction, however,
that the worms brought forth have al
ready begun to produce silk, which Is
the finest in color and texture of any,
thing made in this country, as far as
her experience goes. The cocoons,
which are now placed in brown paper
cornucopias that are homemade, are
white in shade and of quite perfect for
nation. The variety of eggs is what is
known in Japan as ''Koishiman," and
were produced at an institution
founded by the silk industry guild for
raising worms. Another trial of eggs
from the same source will be had. Mrs.
johnson has produced many thousands
of silk worms, and her silk exhibit at
the Columbian exposition in Chicago
was greatly admired. She has but re-
Gently received from the committee OIL
awards at the worlds fair parchment
diploma and also fine bronze medal for
the woman's prison exhibit, OF which
the silk worm product was part. She
has at present 124 mulberry trees grow
ing in one of the yards Of the institu-
tion, from which are regularly gath
cred leaves to feed the worms. N11{nR

from the camp a woman strobe up to
him, and, without any preface, dropped
at his feet and caught his hands, and re-
peated the story of her savage passion
in the same monotone, as tinkling and
musical as the sound of a crystal bell.
But Rowland had completed his en-
bassy successfully, and was in haste to
return to the camp during the night
and comparative GOODNESS, SO he pushed
her away with disguised "Vamoosel"
and hurried on.
Years ago there were still poisoned
arrows used occasionally, weapons
deadlier than the popular rifle or car
bine, for their scratch was fatal. Tho
head was dipped in poison curiously
made. A bit of liver, quite putrid, was
held before q rattlesnake until he had
injected his venom into it time and
time again. After a few more days
this virulent substance was put upon
the points of the arrows, to carry agony
and dissolution to whatsoever they
touched.
It was one Of these arrows that How
land jerked from his arm, few mo-
ments later, as he went into the hut
where his two soldiers were waiting.
He held it in front Of the candle and
examined it intently, while the blood
dripped over his dusty boot. One Of

said. He passed one hand across his
face YEARLY, and repeated: lizard
1uck!" Then he gave the men a de-
tailed account of what he had done and
accomplished, that they might tell the
major in case he himself should be past
speaking. The agency doctor was off
on a two-days' hunting trip, so the sol
diers bathed and dressed the wound
and made Rowland drink the contents
Of a. large flask of whisky. But he or
dered his horse and went back to the
post, nevertheless, across the long,
cleaning plain of sand, under the pur-
pie arch with its stars of glimmering
gold; three weird, dark figures follow
ing the road through the night.
And just as the gray dawn came over
the far-off black mountains, just as the
dawn breeze sprang up and blew on his
swollen and burning face, just as the
first call for reveille shrilled through
the valley, two dust-whitened riders,
supporting him in his saddle, drew up
at the hospital.
At two o'clock a stretcher carried the
body of Lieut.. Rowland from the hos
pital to his quarters; and the flag was
put at half-mast.-San Francisco Ar.
