AN AUTOMOBILE FIRE
ENGINE.

Paris firemen have been out making
successful experiments with the auto
moter constructed especially for the
service of the pompiers, after the
plans of Colonel Krebs. The vehicle,
which is painted red, was filed with
hose and general material, and, with
six men on board, went for several
miles alsng the quay in the direction
of Notre Dame Cathedral. 1t accom-
plished the journey backward and for
ward in a very expeditions manner,
and without hitch. The motor may
be seen in the fire brigade station near
the Law Courts on the Boulevard du
Palais. The officers OF the establish
ment in question believe that the new
cars which are in course of construc-
tion will enable firemen to answer calls
in half the time required by horses.

FADS IN MEDICINE.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and a "new thing"
frequently sells for short time simply
because it is new. Bat in medicine,
as in nothing else, the people demand
and will be satisfied only with positive
absolute merit. The fact that Hoods
Sarsaparilla has stood its ground
against all competition, and its sales
have never wavered but have remained
steadily at the top, demonstrates, be-
yond any doubt, the intrinsic virtues
of this medicine The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla
rests upon the solid foundation of alb
solute merit and its power to cure,
and its sales continue to be the largest

WOMEN AS FARMERS.

Women who own and run their
farms, without any male assistance,
constitute thirty per cent. of the farm
ing population of Kansas and Okla
homa. Women and girls who are now
engaged in teamwork in Kansas con-
stitute fifty per cent. of the farming
population. This large percentage is
partly caused by the absence of the
Twentieth Kansas Volunteers in the
Philippines, all excepting very few
OF whom are farmers, and who, upon
going to war, left their falmwork in
the hands of their wives, sisters and
swcethearts. To say that these wo-
men have failed to do their duty in
cultivating the crops, would meet with
as much merited contradiction as to
charge the Twentieth Kansas with
having been afraid to charge the enc
my.
In fact, Kansas will produce larger
crops this year than any preceding sea
son in the States history. The wheat
crop will be a little short, but that
was caused by very cold winter. OF
every other cereal and farm product
there will he superabundance. To
the Kansas woman, with her usual
daring grit and obstinate resolve, is
due these excellent crops. The labor
they have performed merits all the
honor and wealth these crops bring
forth.
During times of peace thirty per
cent. of the farmers in Kansas are
women, while Oklahoma comes for
ward with about the same percentage.
At present the Oklahoma women are
slightly behind their Kansas sisters in
numbers, but not in the amount of
work. Oklahoma women, although
they have not been as long engaged
on farms, are more active and can do
more work and get better results.
That their crops yield a larger acre
age is due, somewhat, to the fertile
soil, which is also new and more pro-
ductive than Kansas land. But be
tween the women of the State and
Territory there is no jealousy. Each
go about their own work, bent upon
making large crop with the same
earnest zeal as the most steadfast
German farmer. The number Of wo-
men who work on farms in Kansas
will reach over 5000, while the entire
number of farmers in the State ag-
gregates II 900, exclusive Of families.
In Oklahoma the population is small
er, but the percentage is about equal

A CURIOUS INDUSTRY.

Some of the inhabitants of the island
of Procida, in the Bay of Naples. man.
ufucture a very fine gut from silk
worms. They call the product "fili di
seta,' or "silk threads" their special
properties consisting in their strength
and fiexibil;ty. They are made from
the stomachs of silkworms just before
they begin to spin their silk and form
their cocoons. Not many worms in
proportion to the amount of gut put
on the market are reared in Procida
itself, but the makers buy them from
Tore DELI Annunziata and other
neighboring towns in great quantities.
The following is the process of manu-
facture. The worm is selected when
fully matured, that is to say at the
moment when his nourishment ceases,
and just before his metemorphosis.
He is then cnt open, great care being
taken net to injure the membrane of
the stomach. This is then removed,
and usually reaches the length of thir-
teen to twenty millims, with Diane
ter Of ! to two millims. The stom-
achs are then put into a pickle, which
is the keynote of the whole process,
and the sercet of which is carefully
kept. When the picking process is
over, the workpeople, who are mostly
women, take one end of the stomach
in their teeth and draw the other end
with their hands. This part of the
work requires great dexterity, for the
threads are drawn out to the length of
thirty to fifty centims, and the whole
value of the product depends upon its
length in relation to its thickness and
the strain it will carry. There are
two seasons for the production, name
ly, in spring, when the best gut is
produced, and in the autumn, when
the quality is inferior.
There is an important market tof
this speciality, and the whole produc-
tion is exported to northern Italy and
abroad, at the average price of $50
lire per kilo. The gut is of very small
specific gravity, so that great deal
of it goes to kilo. The cost of pro-
duction is also condiderable, as the
worms must be bought just at the
moment when they are coming into
profit for making silk, that is to say,
when they are at their dearest: Again.
the results are frequently disappoint-
ing, many worms being found. on dis
section, not to be suitable, and have to
be discarded. The various operations
require a good many hands, and
though labor is cheap, it runs away
with good deal of money, as skilled
hands are alone satisfactory. The gut
is used for fishing tackle, brushes, and
any purpose where fineness and te-
nacity are jointly requisite. The is-
land of Procida is a place of CONNER
cial Importance altogether out Of pro-
portion to its limited area. Unlike
Ischia and Capri, it is very rarely
visited by travellers, through in point
of scenery it is almost superior to
them. 1t is about two miles long by
one mile broad, and carries the cnor-
nous population of $4,000 souls. It's
sailors ire the best in the Bay Of Ma
Piles. and its little harbor is usually
thronged with sailing vessels, which
do the coasting trade af Italy and the
neighboring islands.
