The Wonderful Tihntans

If another nationality were needed
to round out and complete the British
family resembling the
English, Irish, Scotch and Welsh. but
a compromise between their various
qualities-it is suggested that such a
nation has been brought to light in
the Tibetans, who seem to combine
all the traits that have made the Brit
ish nation what It is.
They are, first, exceedingly devout
in religion; they appear to be remark
able business men, hard-headed as any
Scotsman, having keen eye for open
ings, and drive hard bargains; and
they are said to be as full Of humor-
GUS sentiment as the widest of Irish
men.

HOW INDIANS SPREAD NEWS

that IL Marvel 20 whites.
The rapidity with which the news
OF orders given out from the union
Indian agency and the Dawes com
mission spreads TO the remotest cor
ners Of the Greek Nation is a continual
source OF wonder to the Federal off,
Gals. When, In October, the regula-
ton compelling Indians TO accept the
pay for their land In installments OF
$40 month was announced II seemed
that every Indian I'm the Greek coun-
try knew It at once, for the petitions
for sale dropped of Immediately. A
few days ago, when the order WAS re-
voked and the Indian was allowed to
pay for his land at the rate of $50 a
month, practically everybody knew 1t
the next day and buisenss in the Greek
land sales department suddenly be-
came lively again.
When II Is remembered that there
are several thousand full-blood Indians
In the Creek Nation who can not speak
or read a word Of English and have no
way OF learning the news Of the day
except by word Of mouth, the speed
with which intelligence is communlca-
ted to them is most remarkable. Most
Of the full-bloods live in the Hills and
mountains, far from railroads and l.
sections where daily OF ever. weekly
papers are seldom or never read.
General Pleasant Poi~er, chief of the
Creek Nation and the best Informed
man In his tribe, when asked to ex-
plain the phenomenon, said significant

SILK CULTURE.


Like the culture of tea, silk produc-

indispensable industry to the world. is

Bile. In Through China with a Cam
era" Mr.. Thomson describes the varl-
Gus progressive steps through which
the staple passes till It Is ready for the
looms of China or Lyons.
The eggs Of the silkworm are hatch
ed about the middle of April. The
best season to obtain them for expor-
tation is in March or the beginning Of
April. The young worms. when hatch
ed, are placed on bamboo frames and
fed on mulberry leaves cut up into
small shreds. AS the worms increas
IN size they are transferred to larger
number Of frames and are fed with
, leaves not so finely cut; and so the
process continues until, in their last
stage, the leaves are given TO them
entire. After Matching, the worms con-
tinue eating during five days, and then
sleep for the crst time for two days.
When they again awake, their appe-
tite Is not quite so good. and they usu-
ally eat for four days only and sleep
again for two days more. Then they
eat for the third time for four days and
repose for two. This eating and re.
pose is usually repeated four times
and then. having gained full strength
they proceed to spin their cocoons. The

this business is completed, three days
are spent in stripping on the cocoon
and some seven days later each small
cultivator brings his silken harvest tc
the local market and disposes Of 1t to
native traders, who make 1t up into
bales.
The quality Of the silk is first of all
affected by the breed Of the worms
that spin It, then by the quality of the
leaves and the mode Of feeding. Silk
worms are injured by noise. by the
presence. and especially the handling,
Of strangers and by noxious smells.
They must be fed at regular hours, and
the temperature Of the apartment must
not be too nigh.
The greatest defect in Chinese silk
has been due to the primitive mode Of
reeling which the natives adopt
Shanghai is the great silk mart, and
there, about June LIST, the first seasons
silk is usually brought down. II is
never the growers who bring the silk
to the foreign market. These grow
ers are invariably small farmers, who
have a few mulberry bushes planted in
some odd corner Of their TILED lands.

One warm summers afternoon Sir

with the help Of his footman, Sir Giles
took his seat.

The blow was terrible one to Sir
