The Raising of Silk Worms.

1t is seldom that anything but mul.
berry leaves are employed to feed silk
worms in France Very rarely the
worms hatch before the mulberry
leaves are out, and on such occasions
they are fed young rose leaves for a
few days. About $4,000 acres of land
in France are planted In mulberries;
4O.S1O pounds of leaves are necessary
to produce 90 pounds Of cocoons. The
production of fresh cocoons from one
ounce Of eggs in France varies from
forty-fye to III pounds.

NEW TYpEsErrING DEVICE.

Oliver NJ. Gilmer, printer and
editor, who was the Republican
nominee for Congress at the last
election, announced to-day that he
has invented and is now ~perfeetiug
a typesetting machine which will
completely eliminate the much
complicated mechanism 10Y in use
at such heavy expense by the great
dyily newspapers of the country.
The machine works upon an entirely
different plah from any now in use.
Il is a sort of combination typeset-
ting device and stereotyping plant.
Instead Of assembling lines of type
or matrices as most machines do,
the depression OF keys makes CORE
spending impressions in a specially
prepared s%tereotyping paper. When
the line is completed a cast IS made,
and it is ready for the form, provi-
ded there are no corrections to be
made. The machine spaces the
lines put and furnishes a complete
linotype line, except by a much
simpler and cheaper process.

WARNING.

Dr. Caneani. after a careful study
of Italian earthquakes, finds that all
Disturbances strong enough to
damage buildings even TO a slight
extent are invariably preceded and
followed by minor shocks. In
other words. an earthquake is not
an isolated phenomenon, but is one
OF toe series Of Disturbances. When
the depth of the focus Of dis,arban-
ces is small, the tremors last about
ten day when OF moderate depth,
about three months, and when OF
great depth, possibly several years.
Professor Omori in japan has ar
rived at similar conclusions shout
minor shocks connected with strong
earthquakes.

asking. "What are we going to do

TO let the boys know what is going

will know what is on hands to be
done. Show me a iarm boy who

After al tkaI has been done for
American women by Legislators and
educators, and college builders and
rsformers, it still remains true that
the most valuable possession a nor
mai woman can acquire is a suita-
bic and satisfactory man. Nothing
else is quite so serviceable in pro-
noting the fulhlImento of her destiny
and her content while il is in the
process OF ful6llment. Nothing
else if she is normal-aud there are
very few women who are not con-
siderably normal-quile takes a
mans place with her. One of her
mos, valuable privileges is that Of
selecting her man, Of picking and
choosing and taking her time about
it, and possibly even of changing
her mind after she had begun to
think she knew it. Il is observed
that women who are good, and
have the luck TO be charming also,
have great advantages in carrying
this Important process OF selection
10 a successful issue. More men
are available for such girls to choose
from, and once the choice IS made
the resulting eonteniment is more
apt to endure and to wax. instead
Of diminishing. The most bat leg
islatures can DO for married women
is to protect them from bad hus-
bands. Choosing good ones is a
matter of personal enterprise which
laws can do little to promote. But
Of course a woman who has few
rights and is in complete possession
OF a satisfactory and competent hus-
band is better off than If she had
more rights and no satisfactory
means OF realizing her destiny. II
the American girl ever has to chose
between her rights and her priv.
