SiIkWorm Culture.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington, ID. O., is Investigating the
possibilities of silkworm culture in the
United States. 1t is hoped that it may
in time be developed to such an extent
as to prove of benefit to those members
of families whose time is lot altogether
occupied in other ways, and also to other
persons in small way as a side issue.
TO persons wishing to experiment, and
who can furnish proper food for the
worms, the department is distributing
free of charge small quantity of silk
worm eggs and also manual of instruc-
tions. The proper food for silkworms
consists OF leaves from the different va
lieties of white mulberry tree and the
Usage orange. The paper mulberry
with the fuzzy leaves) is not suitable,
nor is the common red mulberry. AS
The season is now open, applications for
the eggs should be made at once, and
must be accompanied by statement as
to the number and kind of mulberry
trees or the amount of Usage orange
which the applicant possesses, otherwise
of the mulberry is not known to the ap-
plicant, sample of large leaves should
be sent to the department.. The Depart
ment of Agriculture buys the cocoons
which the worms spin, paying for them
(after they have been dried) IS cents to
81 pound, according to their quality.
The work will prove an interesting pas
time for women and children who can
devote to it odd minutes during the day.

Car Wheels.

We remember our surprise when
standing at railroad station, a friend
remarked that the truck wheels OF
the car that had just rolled in from
a long journey were made of paper
Observation since that time has led
to the discovery that many useful
articlcs-such as water buckets, tubs,
walking canes, tool handles, ETC.
are made of paper and are in quite
common use.
An exchange says that in making
paper car wheels from one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and fifty
layers of paper are put together with
flour paste and then subjected to .
pressure of five hundred tons while
at temperature of one hundred and
twenty degrees Fahrenheit. The
blocks are then turned in lathe,
slightly larger than the tire, and the
hole is hored for the cast-iron center.
In turning, the paper blocks make a
shaving that resembles strips of
leather. The average life of the
tire of paper wheel is about three
hundred thousand miles. That rep
resents about one and one quarter
inch wear. The ceDters do not seem
to be affected by service, and they
are always good for renewal of tires
unless some accident happens to
them.

War On the Cigarette.

A lady in Charlotte, N. c., says the
Chronicle, has received card which
reads as follows:
"a national league is being formed to
start a crusade against the cigarette
habit. The league will cover the whole
country. The name of every woman is
asked to be used in petition to Congress
for national law prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes to minors. Will you please
send your name and address to M. S.
Moral Society, Philadelphia, Pa, and
write four cards to your lady friends.
Do not fail or the object will be defeated
and the chain be broken. Please be
prompt"
1t looks as though sort of continuous
chain movement WAS being made to have
laws passed to forbid the smoking of
cigarettes by boys. The lady remarked
that she had never answered these chain
letters, but that she would in this case,
and was willing to write the four cards
If that would help to eliminate the ciga-
rette smoking by the boys, and added,
that she thought it should apply to the
men as well.

An Essay on Habit.

A story is told of an English
schoolmaster who offered a prize to
the boy who should write the best
composition in five minutes on "IIow
to Overcome Habit"
AT the expiration of five minutes
the compositions were read. The
prize went to lad of nine years.
Following is his essay:
"Well, cir, habit is hard to over
come. If you take off the first letter
it does not change 'abit.' If you
take off another you still have bit
left. If you take off still another,
the whole of 'it' remains. If you
take off another, it is there "to
a 't;" all of which goes to show that
if you want to get rid of habit you
must throw it off altogether" ."-Se.

The Color Line at the Worlds Fair.

President Francis and other off.
cials of the Worlds Fair are greatly
disturbed by color line which has
been drawn at the exposition. They
are seriously considering the con-
struction of small building for the
reception of negroes and the. employ
ment of negro woman of education
and address as it's hostess.
Worlds Fair restaurants are dis
playing anti-negro signs. A promi-
nent negro recently complained to
the fair officials that Pike rcstau-
rant had just posted conspicuously
a big sign inscribed "No colored
people served in this restaurant"
Another complaint was received
from party of negroes who had
been refused permission to drop a
cent in the slot, as white people do,
for glass of fresh water. The
water company officials stated that
they could not sell water to colored
people without running their trade
with white people. An exposition
official has suggested that negroes be
served from special tanks and glasses.
