The infant industry Of raw s'ih pro-

even though protective duties and the

denied il. The father of the present
movement TO establish seri-cuIture as a
permanent and profitable branch OF

by descent, and an American by choice
and adoption. At Tallulah Falls, Ca.
he owns $500 acres OF land, on which
he has planted more than zoo, 900 null

to five years old and which are de-
signed for the feeding OF millions OF

Vided into many small farms and

gage in silk culture. Mr.. Magid has
proven that silk can be produced as

One day recently an old colored woman
entered the aEte-TOom of Commissioner
Vests private office and approached
Secretary Wilson. who is ever on the
alert iUr matters big and small. The
aged woman had some years since pass
"a the threshold OF second childhood.
and look of child-like innocence and
expectancy lighted up every line of her
wrinkled COuntenance as she half-halt-
ingly stepped forward.
"Ah wants a place IN de cuIled

Wilson's sweet voiced query as 70 the
character of ner errand. She had evi-

troubled state of affairs in the colored
schools and, deeming her venerable ap-
pearance and perhaps her broadeued
perspective of life as being sufficient to
qualify her claim. sought To have her
name enrolled on the ust.

retary Wilson. as he inscribed his aged
callers name on a pad. at the same
time not forgetting the dignity of the
moment. Il will present your name to
Commissioner West upon his return

Satisfied and smiling, the venerable
