GUSHING THE SILK WORM.

To prepare. by artificial means. n substi-

of technical chemists. Until quite recently,
however, the competition with nature could
hardly be looked upon as successful. There
has Just been brought TO success I'm Glas-
gov. however. a process by which the prop
critics of natural silk which are of practical
value can be reproduced in fibre costing
but little to manufacture.
The inventor states that the artificial
product known ''Nanduara silk" can be
manufactured at a cost of only IS Cd per
pound. When it is remembered that the bet
ter qualities of natural silk sell at from los
TO lbs per pound, IL Is at once evident that
the new process leaves considerable margin
for profit
The fibre is prepared by ejecting fine
threads of strong solution of gelatine from
conveying them to bobbins, on which they
are reeled. After leaving the small orifices,
the gelatine solidifes in continuous fibre,

snd gradually lost It's former importance
and finally ceased to attract further atten-
ton.
IL is easy now TO moralize upon the evils
of human slavery, since the onward and up
ward trend of human events has developed
a more humane sentiment than many of our
forefathers entertained upon this subject,
yet, we must. in order to do them full jus
tice. look at the matter from their stand
point and put ourselves in their places.
"Our virtues
Lie in an Interpretation OF the times
The prevailing sentiment of half century
ago was against the negro. and the divine
right TO hold the blacks in bondage was not
often boldly disputed by the majority Of
those who could not conscientiously look
upon this half OF the twin relics as hav-
ing basis CT either justice right 10 rest
upon. The dark shadow was over all and
few cared to defy public opinion;-such is
the constitution of the human mind that it
viii seldom run counter TO current public
opinion.
TO the majority OF Indianians 1t seems
unreasonable that a state originally conse-
Grated TO freedom: one so often regarded as
the pivotal State in American thought and
American politics and where political parties
are generally so nicely balanced, should ever
have been considered suitable field for the
Introduction OF human slavery, yet so strong
had the slave influence become and so
deeply intrenched in our early political
history, that a majority OF the delegates
elected TO the first constitutional convention
from the counties lying along the lower
Wabash were either men of strong pro-
slavery sentiment or elsa following the cur
rent of popular opinion, were Indifferent or
noncommittal.
But the overthrow of slavery in Indiana
came at last and was largely brought about
by two classes. One of these was COM
posed of men who had witnessed and care
fully noted the evil effects of the system;
the other and more vigorous of men who,
having formerly owned slaves and had for
conscience sake given them their freedom
and fled from the baleful influence of
slavery 20 land of promised freedom. Ii
was such men who came to the rescue of
California at a crucial period in her his
tory and assisted in giving that State TO
freedom and saving it to the Union. These
were the far-seeing men who had so large
a share in establishing the free-school sys-
TEN of Indiana and developing an educa-
tional system in the Hoosier State that
has placed her in the very forefront Of the
progressive States Of the Union. 1t is the
mission of such men to elevate the race to
a loftier and more exalted plane of intel
lectuaI and moral development. Such are
ever the men who preform great and worthy
deeds:
Those deeds that bring no sorrow.
But leave the land from sea to sea
Still happier on the morrow"

And. underneath this writing, from her heart:

From that scrawled line,
It'll death shall part.''-a story from the dust

Hidden In fern and weed

The sunshine on the wall.

The scratching fowls on the land,
The shouts OF happy children
And their ponies who will not stand.

The streets Were strange and still,
Through the doors Of the open churches
The organs were moaning shrill.
Through the doors and the great high windows
heard the murmur of prayer,
And the sound of their solemn singing
Streamed out on the sunlit air;
a sound OF some great burden
That lay on the worlds dark breast.
OF the old, and the sick. and the lonely,
And the weary that cried for rest.
/ strayed through the midst of the city
Like one distracted or mad.
"Oh, Life! Oh, Lifei' / kept saying,
And the very word seemed sad.

And heard the small birds sing,

Altar from the bell-ringing.
In the depth and the bloom OF the meadows
lay on the earths quiet breast.
The poplar famed me with shadows.
And the veery sang me to rest.
Blue. blue was the heaven above me,
And the earth green at my feet:
''Oh, Lfei Oh, LIFE ] kept saying,

From Benedictus.

For what we have received, o God,
We give thee grace,
Our tide of fortune was at flood:
We were content 10 live for gains:
Our flesh was fiaccid. and our blood
But tamely tinctured I'm our veins.
Thou sawest and didst lift Thy rod;
Stern was Thy face.
For what we have received o God,
We give thee grace.
For what we have received, o Lord
We offer thanks
Such soul OF pity for thine own,
Suffering worse than only death.
As made the heart in us to groan
AS groaneth one who travaileth.
Not peace thou gavest. but sword
To US. thy ranks.
For what we have received, Lord,
We offer thanks.

Sisters two, all praise to you.
With your faces pinched and blue:
To the poor man you've been true
From of old;
You can speak the keenest word,
You are sure of being heard,
From the point you're never stirred,
Hunger and Cold,
Let sleek statesmen temporiZe;
Palsied are their shifts and lies
When they meet your bloodshot eyes,
Grim and bold:
Policy you set at naught:
In their traps you'll not be caught,
You're too honest to be bought.
Hunger and Cold!
BOLT and bar the palace door;
While the mass of men are poor.
Naked truth grows more and more
Uncontrolled;
You have never yet. I guess,
Any praise for bashfulness,
You can visit sans court dress,
