ARTIFICIAL SILK-A. T. A., City. Yes, there
is artifeiaLsilk. Works for the manufacture
of this article have been established at Besan-
con, France, and Sprietenbach, Switzerland.
The process is in principle as follows: Wood,
corresponding to the mulberry leaves eaten by
the silkworm, is first worked into paste,
then dipped in nitric and sulphuric acids,
dried, and placed in bath of ether or alco-
hol at 80 degrees. The result is kind of glue
or collodion, which is subjected to high pres
sure in strong metal cylinders and expressed
through pipes. being forced out through small
orifces in the form of threads. These are so
fine that six of them have to be twisted to-
gether befor winding on the spool. The silk
thus made is rendered incom bustible and the
. skeins are thrown into ammonia to neutralize
the acids.
KATE FIELDS WRITINGs-M. j., West Berke-
ley, Alameda County, Cal. All that the late
Miss Kate Field wrote for publication has not
been preserved for future generations to read,
as much was for the daily papers and was
published anonymously Much of what she
wrote was of the character described by Judge
Hunt in his eulogy of the late ]. Ross Jack
son: 1.-THE best work of newspaper writers is
as ephemeral as smoke In the air or foam upon
the wave. The span of its existence is CON-
passed by single day and the print, however
precious, scarcely survives the issue of the
paper that bore it." Still there are numb Der
of her writings that have been pu blished and
are to be had in the libraries or through the
booksellers. In the list are sPlanchette's
Diary" 186S), adelaide Ristori" 1861,

Mines will commend themselves to every

doubly important. 1t will be he who will

DECEP 1--WE APPEARANCES.

IT'S wrong to judge by looks alone,
AS much in nature shows;
The greatest warrior may not have
The largest Roman nose.
The horse that has the longest legs
May not be very FAST
And then, you know, the Bible says,
The first ones shall be last.
Beneath the fiercest visage there
May be a quaking heart.
Ana he that looks so meek and mild
May merely play part
Hence, don't misjudge the man who wears
a tie of flaming red:
is wife may buy his ties for him
If so, enough is said. Cleveland Leader

publisher may continue to send them
until all arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers, neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the office
to which they are directed, they are re-

D. The courts have decided that re-
