1t would appear from all accounts
that NJ. Chacot's enterprise of the man
ufacture of spiders web silk is to be
pursued on large scale, factory in
Paris having been taken for the purpose.
Here the spiders will be kept and work
ed at regular hours, and when one Of
them is used up he will be fed and help
eel back to condition again, while an
other will take his place ON the bobbin.
An expert, fully acquainted with the
habits OF the insect, will be in control
OF the spider department of the factory,
the care of them, feeding, housing, etc.
In obtaining the requisite supply, if
the latter exceeds what is necessary for
the industry, experiments will be made
with view to ascertaining which of
the different varieties produces the finest
quality of silk, and in this way those
not favored with n fine web will be
weeded out. Trials will likewise be
made with different diets in order to
determine whether or not it Is possible
to train the. spider to give forth a web
that is an improvement ON the ordinary
product, the expectation being that
perseverance in this respect will result
in securing u quality of silk hitherto
unsurpassed

TWO WAYS|OF LOOKING.
II All Saw Things Alike, This Would BE
an Uninteresting World.

II All Saw Things Alike, This Would Re
an Uninteresting World.
at is a pity that more of us cannot
cultivate the twofold way of looking at
things, " writes Edward w. Box in The
Ladies' Home Journal. "There would
be less friction in life if we did, and
sweeter sympathy, kinder understand
ing and broader and fuller living. The
TACT is that we never reach the dignity
OF true living unless we do learn this
all important lesson. And that it may
be cultivated admits of no doubt. It is
simply question of schooling ourselves
not to condemn generally what indi-
vidually does not happen to be TO our
taste. II, for example, we prefer brown
as color, there is no reason ON earth
why we should condemn the taste of
any one who preferred to wear green.
What the vast majority of us need is to
be little more self poised, moro judi
cial, more willing to see good in the
tastes Of others, although they do not
please our own particular fancies. 1t we
all thought alike. read the same books,
saw the same plays, wore the same col
ors, this would be an exceedingly unin-
teresting world.
1--WE cannot see all things in the
same way, but we can come near to
justice and true respect by taking two
fold view of things while still retaining
our strong individual views. Seeing a
possible good or use for everything does
not necessarily mean weak individu-
ality. The most uncomfortable people
in the world are those who assert their
judgments in hard, decisive and final
manner, as if they were courts of last
resort. On the other hand, the bright
est and best minds are those that have
most respect for the opinions Of others. +"

THE OLD CLERK.
A Pathetic Picture Too Frequently Pre-

fsthetic Picture Too Frequently Pre-
sented In the Business World,
he is familiar figure in almost ev-
cry business hOuse-the old clerk.
White haired, thin, with clothes that
are always of decent black and scrupu-
lously brushed, he has sat behind the
same desk or stood behind the same
counter for dear knows how MANY
years, growing thinner and older and
muster as the time went by. Some-
times we meet him in the early morn
ing going down to Office or store, walk
ing the same route he has trod for 20 or
~ years with regularity SO perfect
that the very policeman ON the beat
might set his watch by his movements.
Often, late at night, when we are 90
ing home from the theater we see him
through the iron grated window, still
bending over his ledger, for he works
slowly nowadays and must work over
time to make up his accounts. His ewes
are growing dim and he fumbles with his
glasses, his hands are losing their trick
OF dett penmanship, and his brain its
swiftness. He does not understand it,
but the fly boys all about him, young
enough to be his SONS, rush through
their tasks and are out and gone while
he is still labOring over his. Slowly but
surely it is being borne in on him that
he cannot compete with them.
In the managers Office he is already
becoming problem. Customers have
begun to complain of his slOwness. A
man, not Intentionally cruel, called out
that he wanted somebody who was alive
to wait on him; not that old fossil. A
woman complained that he had not
matched sample and asked why thev
kept blind people. The old clerk heard
them, and it sounded like the knell of
his own fOrebOding thoughts. He knows
that the time is coming when he must
go. He has seen it happen before with
others. First he will be retired to some
other department, with less work and
less pay. They will remember for
time the many years of faithful service
IN which he has seen the firm grow from
small beginnings to present wealth.
Then after a time they will forget
even that, and one day when he has
been slower than usual or some mis-
take has passed unnoticed by his dim
eyes they will send for him to come to
the presidents room, and he will be
told that they think it best to put boy
Ill that department-sOmebody who is
young and quick and can get about
swiftly. Sometimes they give him
little pension, Oftener not, but in Ell
ther case he goes out poor, heart bro
ken old man. They talk to him of en-
JOylng leisure, but he has never learned
the art of idling, and SO he hangs about
the store after he is dismissed, walk
ing by it through sheer force of habit.
To others it is commonplace enough
store or office. To him it is the mauso.
leum where lies buried his youth, with |
all its dreams and hopes and ambitions,

his wintry old face as he says that he

A SELFISH SHAH.
The High Prices Of Persian Lamb Canes
Accounted For

The High Prices Of Persian Lamb Canes
Accounted For.
The shah of Persia. may be only in
the $50 class i'll matters of diplomacy
and he does not dare exactly to slap
Queen Victoria or Kaiser Wilhelm on
the back when the potentates chance to
meet, but, so far as matters in Persia
are concerned, when the shah makes a
law it is generally enforced to the letter.
A case in point may be cited in the
matter of Persian lambskin. Persian
lambskins are and have long been an
article of staple demand in the COM
mercial world. They have commanded
such good prices that the supply was
hardly equal to the demand Conse-
quently, when the shah one day ordered
spring lamb with mint sauce. the cook
was obliged to confess that the dish was
beyond the command of the Persian
treasury. Of course the cook was
promptly beheaded, but the shah could
not find another cook who would agree
to furnish spring lamb whenever his
majesty desired to indulge in that deli
cacy.
This naturally irritated the shah.
After consulting with three or four of
his most trusted advisers, who could see
no way out of the difficulty and who
consequently disappeared from their
homes and society i'll mysterious man.
ner, the shah finally decided that the
commerce of Persia was threatened by
the extinction of Persian sheep and Per
sian lambs Consequently he made
decree that any person found with lamb
skins in his possession for purposes of
trade or commerce would be fined heay-
lily. Since then the export trade in Per-
sian lambskins has stopped with
blunt and nauseating jar.-Boston Ad-

New WHEAT. The first full cargo
of new Maryland wheat was received
in Baltimore, graded No. 2 red and
sold on the floor of the Chamber of
Commerce ut Sc cents per bushel, the
top market price for the day. The
cargo arrived little earlier than the
first cargo received last year. The re-
ceipts prior to the cargo were small
lots in bags. Reports from threshers
relative to the new wheat crop in
Maryland and the tide-water counties
in Virginia are to the effect that the
yield will be short half crop. The
berry is small and most of the grain so
far shown on change has been slim,

Mr. StaybOlt Considers Man as Built Upon
Compartment Plan.
Man is, as one might say, said Mr..
Staybolt, 'built in series of compart-
ments, though he may not know this
fact at the outset, and he may indeed
go through life and die without know
ing 1t, taking with him unused stocks
OF ability and strength that he had
never known he possessed, simply be-
cause they were never brought into
play. AS to what will bring their quail
ltles into play men differ. There are
some few men who command them
selves, and some who open at a touch.
and then there are many who respond
only to the most urgent call. But there
are few men who cannot in some wav
be moved to action.
This brings me, for illustration. to
brief consideration of the personal
quality commonly denominated as sand.
OF which, l imagine, most of us possess
far more than we suspect, for there are
few men who finally run away-mightv
few who will not stand up and fight
when they feel that they are really call

only one and make that last through
life, and we die without knowing how
brave we are unless some great occa-
sion, independent of ourselves, opens
another compartment and shows us
what we really have in reserve. [ might
add that there are few if any revela-
tlons that come to us i'll life that give
us greater pleasure or more enlarge our
horizon.
"The moral of all this is that in our
good qualities we should trust ourselves
without hesitation. There are qualities.
which will easily suggest themselves,
which it would be better to leave un-
used, better for ourselves and for everv-
body else if the compartments contain
ing them were never opened, but as to
such qualities as pluck, endurance, en-
ergy, capacity and moral strength we
should call upon ourselves freely. We
should not take down with us, as other
wise we are almost certain to do, stores
OF these valuable qualities untouched.
but rather we should draw upon them
now and constantly and confidently, and
so doing we shall be gratified with our
constant growth in strength and more
than gratified with the attending sub
stantial rewards. New York Sun.

OUR DEBT TO BUMBLEBEEs.
The Part These Busy Workers Play In the
Fertilization of Flowers.

1he Rart These Busy Workers Play In the
Fertilization of Flowers.
Barney HOskin Standish writes an
article ON 1.-THE Bumblebee" for st.
Nicholas Mr.. Standish says: The work
of the bumblebee in bringing about the
cross fertilization Of flowers is as i'm
portant as that of the honeybee, and
these two stand at the head of the list
OF insects useful in this respect. Each
has its flowers which it alone visits.
but there are many flowers on neutral
ground visited by both. So we may
say of the bumblebee, as of the honev-
bee, the more bumblebees the more
seeds; the more seeds the more flowers
especially wild flowers, as the tall
bellhOwer, touch me not, Solomon s seal.
gentian, Dutchmen's breeches and tur-
tie head. But probably the most impor-
tant work this insect does for agricul-
ture is upon the fields of red clover.
There is abundant proof that this plant
will not produce seed without the co.
operation of the bumblebee. 1t is i'm.
possible for the wind to bring about the
fertilization of the seed, as it NAV do
IN the case of Indian corn, grain and
some forest trees. The tube of red clo-
yer blossoms, too, is so long that other
insects Cncluding the honeybee) are
not regular visitants
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumblebee. This
insect is not native of Australia, and
red clover failed to produce seed there
until bumblebees were imported. AS
soon as they became numerous the plant
could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms of the first crop of
the Medium Red clover of our own
country are just as perfect as those of
the second crop, but there are too few
bumblebees in the field, so early in the
season, to produce fertilization, hence
little or no seed in this crop. If bumble-
bees were sufficiently numerous, there
is no reason why much larger yields of
clover seed might not be expected than
at present.
Here is what we'll informed farmer
says about it.:
at was formerly thought that the
world rested ON the shoulders of Atlas
can prove that its prosperity rests ON
the bumblebee. The world cannot pros
per without the farmers product. The
farm will not be productive without
clover. We cannot raise clover without
seed, and we cannot have clover seed
without the bumblebee, because it is
this insect that carries the pollen from
flower to flower, securing its develop
ment and continuance. Let us learn to
know and to protect our friends"
