The Cultnre Of Cocoons

Mrs. Carrie Williams, of San Diego,
has for several years carried on in a
small way the culture of cocoons for silk
manufacture She gives some interesting
facts concerning it, which ought to open
the way to an immense American indus
try. In forty days from the time the
first leaf is fed, the dress can be worn.
The fine or coarse quality of the silk Is
dependent upon the size of the leaf. One
acre of Mulberry trees will bear three
pickings every year.

A FREE TRIAL. NO HIGH FEES.

A FREE TRIAL. NO HIGH FEES.
Everybody has been reading of the
wonders accomplished as the result OF
Doctors Mccoy and Cowdens discov-
cries. The absolute and assured cure
of Deafness in all its forms. the radi-
cal and permanent Mastery of Ca
tarrh in all its stages, the speedy and
complete triumph over Asthma with
all its agonies. and over incipient Con-
sumption with all It's terrors, has made
this treatment not only famous. but
an object of intense personal interest
to all classes of sufferers.
Deaf people who are constantly
reading the story of lost hearing can
not be free from curiosity as to the
nature of the new treatment by which
this splendid miracle of medicine is
now accomplished. Nor can the sick
who are constantly reading of the cure
of Catarrh, Asthma and Lung Diseas-
es be free from a similar passion of
interest over the treatment that ac-
complishes these almost equally mar
yelous results.
And this offer of free" trial to all
sufferers applying in person is made
for the immediate encouragement of
those naturally eager for a personal
application of this wonderful treat
ment, and is made on grounds Of SIM
pie business fairness to all concerned
All these people who have slight or
trfiing ailments. purely catarrhal con-
ditions. easily capable Of a speedy cure
under the new methods, will be charg
ed only a trifing fee. while those who
have difficult, obstinate or serious dis
eases requiring a special and long
continued care and attention. will be
charged a fee commensurate with TIE
care and attention they require.

Money For Charitable Purposes,

In earning money for charitable pur-
poses women should be very careful that
they do not deprive some one else OF u
necessity. 1t is not so necessary that we
should endure bodily fatigue as it is
that we should give unselfishly and
wisely. l once wanted some money to
help poor family, so Immediately
went to work and did my washing
and ironing, saving ST. I bought
some provisions for the family, but
while down town to get them 1
passed glove counter and purchased a
pair of gloves, which I really did not
need, as was well supplied. On return
ing home | told my father how self sac
rificing I had been to do the washing
and ironing, when, to my surprise, he
gravely reprimanded me. 1T would
have been BETTER" he said, "to have let
the woman who needed and expected
the washing to do her work as usual
and for you to have taken the glove mon
ey and bought provisions for the needy
family" Since then have been careful
to consider different sides of the cues

CANNlBAL ANIMALS.
Degenerate Feline Mothers Who Eat
Their Young.

Cup to few years ago" said Director
Smith Of the Central park mcnagerie, lit
was impossible to raise n litter of feline
animals in captivity. Animals differ in
traits as much rs human beings. They
degenerate as easily. a lioness that has
never eaten her cubs may do so at any
time. When this has once happened, she
is incurable. OF course the male parent
is the worst offender in the matter of can
nibalism. Usually he is separated in time
to prevent him from indulging his unnat-
ural appetite. Even then, though, the
young lions in captivity have hard time.
The mother gets excited about some
thing. She picks up cub by the nape of
the neck and walks around with it nerv-
ously. Very likely she draws a little
blood. Then it's all up with the young
one. The ta>sc Of blood is too much even
for maternal instinct, and tho cub is
crushed like choice morsel.

A Republican State Convention
WILL BE HELD IN
CITY HALL, AUGUSTA,

for the purpose of nominating a candi-
date for Governor to be supported at the
September election, and transacting any
other business that may properly come
before it.
The voters of Maine, without regard to
past political differences, who are in favor
of sustaining President Mckinley and his
administration in the conduct of the war

ing the present wise and economical ad-
ministration of our State affairs, are cor
daily invited to join with the Republic
cans in choosing delegates to this con-
vention.
The basis of representation will be as
follows: Each city. town and plantation
will be entitled to one delegate, and for
each 70 votes cast for the Republican cam
didate for Governor in 1896, an additional
delegate, and for fraction of 40 votes in
excess of 70 votes, further additional
delegate. Vacancies in the delegation of
any city, town or plantation can only be
filed by resident of the county in which
the vacancy exists.
The State committee will be in session

BREAD RIOTS IN SPAIN
Frenzied Mobs Terrorize the
Degenerate Kingdom.
WILL ANARCHY SAVE THE THRONE?
Cries of Hunger Also Heard In Italy and
France-Bread Beyond the Reach of
the Poor-Starvation Strikes at Dyuas-
ties.

More terrible than American battleships
is the cry Of the infuriated Spanish multi
tude for bread. Nearly every national
revolution in Europe has been begun by
means of bread riots. They are the terror
of monarchies and the despair of repub-
lies. Yet there is a plausible theory, ad-
vanccd by Horatio S. Rubcns, that the
preaent riots in Spain may save the reign
ing dynasty and afford q way to end the
war with America without the collapse of
the Spanish government. Men with
empty stomachs think only of something
to cat, not of politics or wars. In fact,
these bread riots will prove the salvation
of the Spanish monarchy. If they had
not occurred, the humiliation Of Spain by
the United States would have caused a
revolution and the throne would have been
destroyed But now the cry for bread
rises louder than any patriotic cheers, and
the people are willing for peace at any
cost if it brings food.
The underlying motive of the riots is
not political, but economical The advance
in the price of wheatwill also increase the
suffering of the Spanish people, and so
another pressure is brought to bear to ter
inmate the war speedily The people,
ignorant and egotistical. naturally relied
on the statements of their government as
