Forty years ago 81 percent of the
total amount of broad silk in the
United States was imported; today
the condition is reversed and, accord
ing to the latest official figures, 13
percent only is imported. Today the
United States is the greatest silk pro-
ducing country in the world and it
was less than two centuries ago that
the industry was first dreamed of
here. The quality is being steadily
improved so that it promises to COM
pare before many years with that of
French manufacture Italy still pro-
duces the most beautiful fabrics, and
because of the perfection attained

silk, only sewing silks. handkerchiefs

1t is an encouraging sign for the
health of the modern American that
the popularity of outdoor life in the
United States seems to be increasing.
The number and variety of sports and
pastimes which allure to open air
eXertion has grown greatly. Not very
many years have elapsed since the
time when tennis and foot ball were
unusual and golf and the bicycle were
almost unknown. Yet the influence
of these and other sports has been so
strong in recent years that open-air
life has come to be enjoyed for it's
own sake and apart from the amuse
ments associated with it. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that the pleasures
of outdoor life are especial privileges
of youth or of any given type of sum-
mer amusement seeker The immense
advantages they confer should be
shared by all alike. In the present
state of our society development they
are among the richest of the blessings
within the reach of the people.

1t will interest other people beside
the register-general of Great Britain
to know that of 3145 widows who
since the beginning of the South Afri-
can war have ben pensioned from the
royal patriotic fund, so have already
remarked. These are certainly curl
Gus figures, and if other widows re-
married the spinster's chance of a
husband would be reduced almost to
vanishing point. No doubt the patri.
otic fund possesses the full details of
these cases, and it is to be hoped
that commissioners will supply them.
Mulhall places the average age at
which widows remarry in England at
80, but in all probability what may
be termed war widows are very much
younger, and their chances in the
matrimonial market for this and
other obvious reasons are being en-.
hanced.

mo one who enjoys bicycle riding will
object to paying a tax of 81 year on

the money secured in that manner is to
be applied to the improvement of cycle
paths and roads.
There are, at the least calculation,
500 wheels in Anaconda, and If each
were taxed 81 the revenue handed into
the city treasury from that source would

"In the course Of few years the
