The Presidents Outing.

During any ordinary week the Presi-
dents visit a few days ago to Mendon
and Uxbridge, Mass, would have occa-
stoned much public interest. He had a
day full of remarkable incidents. II is
a rural country, of much natural beau
~. The hand of modern progress has
not appeared in the vicinity where in
the last half Of the 18th century the
Presidents fOrbears settled there Many
of the houses have been standing for
the best part OF a century. The land

inspecting the great Industrial plant at
Hopedale. where over 1000 hands are
engaged in making cotton machinery
the route was over the hills to Mendon
The hrst stop was in front of dilapi-
dated and deserted red house, known
as the Davenport place. Some of the
Presidents ancestors lived there, as they
did in the Torrey house, a frame struc-
tnre. painted yellow, and occupying n
prominent place on the adjoining farm.
He stopped at each OF these places. and
then proceeded TO the Public Square at
Mendon. There a bronze tablet on a
granite base bore the names of the first
settlers who came to the town between
1863 and 1900. One of the names there
is Robert Taft, from whom the Presi-
dent is descended.
Tafts in numbers still inhabit that
region. Most of them are plain coun-
try folk who came out of their houses

working clothes and the women in cal
fco. Another name written on the tab
let is that of George Aldrich. the settler
from whom Senator Aldrich, of Rhode
Island. traces his descent. NJ NJ Al

mond. president OF the board of works

II the weeds are not cut within ten

A Silk Producing Caterpillar.

In Assam. where the natives call II
"eri." a silk producing caterpillar has
been used for silk spinning for CEN
turtles. but. strange to say. its employ.
ment for the purpose has been restrict
ed almost exclusively to that region.
One Of its advantages is that its CO.
coons are not sealed fik.s those of the
common silkworm. One end Of the CO.
coon Is closed only with converging
loops Of silk. This renders It unaeces-
sa:y to kill the insect when it's silk Is
used.
