GERMAN WOMEN'S ADVANCE
Years of Public Abuse and Ridicule.
Followed by Hard Work,
Bring Results.

Back 20 or 80 years ago, says the Pill
grim, a few women began to call the
attention of their sisters to all the
evil and dependence the lack of educa-
ton meant for them in a country
where knowledge is accounted the
highest good. Quiet, steady work fol-
lowed, undismayed by legislative ac-
ton and by public abuse and ridicule,
until now almost all the German uni
versailles are open in a measure to
women, allow them degrees in various
branches, and high schools and prepar-
atory schools and courses exist in var,-
Gus cities. With the right to study
the professions at home has come the
right to practice them, and there are

few women lawyers in Germany to-

a quantity of silkworm eggs, No CO.
coons were bought by the department,
but examinations were made of home
raised eggs. Two stations had been
established after the congressional ap-
preparation became available-one at
Philadelphia and the other at New Or
leans. At Philadelphia SIS pounds OF
cocoons were reeled, producing SO
pounds of raw silk. The quality of the
cocoons handled was thus shown to bs
very bad. They cost on the average So
cents per pound, so that the raw ma
terial used in the production of a
pound of raw silk cost SASS. The raw
silk produced was sold for $4.40 per
pound, by which it was shown that the
cost of the raw material was greater
than the value of the manufactured
product. This result was laid to the
inexperience of the raisers.
The California work during this year
was reorganized, and there was reeled
at San Francisco Al pounds of silk An
effort was made during the winter of
1SS4-S5 by Mr.. Joseph Neumann and
some others to launch the California

abandoned toward the close of the fis-

tributed in the spring of 1886; circulars
were sent out all over the country of
fering to purchase cocoons, and at the
beginning of the fiscal year 1SS6-S7 a
Serrell automatic reel was set up under
a new appropriation from congress.
The last appropriation made by con-
gress was $4,000 for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1891. An estimate for
a continuance of this appropriation was

SEND STOLEN JEWELS AWAY
Most Valuable Gems Are Sent by
Thisves to India to Find
a Market

Almost the only form of investment
which the Mohammedans have resorted
to is jewels, which it is hardly necessary
to point out do not yield interest, but are
more easy to conceal and more portable
than gold, says the New York Tribune.
10 such an extent do the Mohamme-
dams in the orient favor this form of in
Vestment that the major portion of the
gems OF Importance that have been
stolen in the last so years in Europe and
IN America have been disposed of in
India and other Moslem countries,
where the tendency of the natives TO add
gems OF this kind to their boarded
wealth or else to adorn Herewith their
faVorltes in the secrecy of their zenanas
or harems, to which the authorities
have no access, renders their recovery
almost impossible.
All the celebrated jewels in the old
and in the new world are known to the
great jewelers., and it would be impossi-
Die to 1ntrust to them the setting or re-
cutting OF any celebrated gem without
the experts at once recognizing it, and
being able to say whether or not the
stone had formed part OF the plumber
of some jewel robbery
That is why the jewel robbers never
attempt to get rid of their booty either
In Europe or the. limited States, but send
the principal portion of their plumber
by way of Bombay into India.
There is an individual in India-I
think he is still alive-who could doubt
less give many points to the police on
this subject. That is Jacobs, the cele-
brated diamond merchant, who was por-
trayed by Marion Crawford in Mr..
Isaacs.'
Jacobs was for many years the man
whom the princes and potentates of Hin
doostan intrusted with the purchase and
when in want of money, with the sale
OF their precious stones, which owing
to their religious objections to banks,
they regard as invested capital.
1t is no exaggeration to assert that he
knew, and possibly still knows, almost
every precious stone of any Importance
in India, being blindly trusted by the
majority of his customers, and had he
not been the most discreet of men there
is no doubt that he could have indicated
to the police the location of many WE'LL
known and famous stones missed from
American and European jewel cas-
kets.

times completely blocking the river.
Sir S. Baker was obliged to go round
by the Bahr Giraffe owing to such a

A few nomadic Arabs of rather a low
type are still seen as far south as this,
but it is the center of the most impor

often appearing painfully un0erfed, and
from living in marshes they seem to
have caught the customs of the birds,
walking with a peculiar crane-like
stride, and habitually standing on one
leg. At military stations a little cloth
ing is usual but the only essential of
native dress is for men the spear and
for women two small aprons of I'M
tanned and uncut hide. To prevent the
attacks of mosquitoes, many men smear
their bodies with grease and ashes with
most uncanny effect, which becomes
quite deYinsh when daubs of red paint
are added and the hair stuck on end and
dyed red. In hair dressing the Shilluks
are completely distinguished from the
other tribes. 1t is said to take some
eight years for Shilluk dandy to dress
his hair to his satisfaction. He has to
sleep with his head resting upon
wooden pillow specially designed to do
no harm to the structure. the commonest

upon which is written the motto of the

and of peaceful occupations. Below
this, occupying the central place, is a

SN1N1 country revives interest in
~ the various previous efforts
in this line.
Since early colonial days there have
been spasmodic efforts made at estab-
fishing a silk industry in this country.
As early as 1860 Mr.. Aspinwall estab-
lished nurseries of the mulberry at
New Haven and Mansfield, Conn, and
on Long Island, and imported eggs of
the silkworm These efforts were con-
tinued for more than 100 years without
achieving other results than to keep
the interest in the subject alive, and
were finally arrested by the war of the
revolution. About III silk culture
was attempted in both Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, and was continued I'M
til the war put stop to practically all
industries, but it was partly revived
after the treaty of peace with England
had been signed.
A few people retained their interest
in the industry during the early part
of the nineteenth century, and in the
late twenties a resolution was intro
duced into the house of representatives
directing the compilation of a manual
on the culture of silk. House document
No. 226 of the Twentieth congress, first
session (182S), is treatise on the rear
ing or silkworms, by Mr.. De Hazzi, of
Munich, translated from the German,
apparently by Mr.. James Mease of
Washington, D. G. This seems to have
been the first congressional action IA
voring silk culture.
Following the publication of the
book mentioned there began deter
mined effort to establish silk culture
on firm basis in the United States. 1t
was estimated that four tons of silk
cocoons were produced in 1888 in the
