JAPANESE SILK is REVIVED
cred That Strengthens the Fabric
and Facilitates Spinning.

According to the North China Daily
News the ladies of America and Eu-
rope are to have the restoration of the
popular Japanese silk fabrics in large
supply and greater beauty than ever
before. 1t is claimed that an expert
connected with the Fuji Spinning COM
pany has discovered chemical proc
ess which will be great boon to the
spinners and also to the admirers of
Japanese silk
While Japanese sericulture was yet
in primitive condition no chemical
was used to soften the cocoon before
it was spun into thread. Later the
spinner succeeded in getting out a
thin, soaplike substance, which full
filled the long-felt want with some
success; but the difficulty was that 1t
weakened the fabric and took away
the natural luster. Thus Japanese silk
has been steadily losing the popularity
it once enjoyed and. it's market has
from time to time been encroached
upon by the Italian product.
Mr.. Inouye has now hit upon a meth
cd of strengthening the elasticity and
strength of the fabric. and at the
same time greatly facilitating the
spinning into thread. One more bene.
fit from this process will be that man
ufacturers will be able to obtain 10
per cent more produce than by the
old-fashioned way.
Furthermore the now s,,hstance haa
an antigerm and anticorroding effect,
and will not injure the hands of oper-
atives. Some time ago an American
is reported to have discovered a chem.
ical compound which would preserve
silk: and this is said to be something
similar in composition to the Japanese
invention.

A New. Kind of Exercise.

It is morning exercise invented
by Partisan actress, who takes the
newspaper and tears it UP. The
fragments are thrown upon the floor
in a thousand pieces. Then she gets
up and collects those pieces, and the
point is that not fragment Is lost.
For this Is the new way Of gardening
the STOPPING cure that is recon.
mended by every doctor. You can do
it in your home, and do not require
garden. It is only to buy the morn.
ing paper, tear it into fragments,
chuck them on the floor, and pick
them up. Quite as good as garden.

Dead Slanu,

Is there anything so dead as deaf
slang? It must be quite fresh, or !
offends the nostril. And no one SHOULD
talk slang without the assurance thai
1t is both lnfantile and immortal. join
Galsworthy is modern. And in "Tha
Man Of Property" he produces tn,
slang expression Of the eighties. "a
daverdy woman" It Is q term Of con
tempt for woman. But Is there any
one born In the eighties who coul(
sxplain that slang term, or remem
bers It? You must get your slant
fresh-there is little Of It that stand
the timed preservation.

Of his lncumbeney at Washington he
has been much In the public eye, His
scholarly attainments and great repu.
tation have caused him to be much
sought after as an orator, md be has
delivered dozens Of addresses through
out the United States.
The news that Ambassador Bryce Is
to retire was not wholly unexpected.
There has been no break In the har-
monious relations Of the distinguished
Englishman and his government, but
II has been an open secret for somG'
time that Mr.. Bryce, advancing In
years, desired TO surrender his post
and give entire attention TO the com
pletion Of the literary work which has
occupied 30 large n part OF his life.
His book on South America. written
since his tour OF that country two
years ago, is just of the press. and he
is about to begin work covering his
recent tour OF Australia and New Zea-
land.
Facing the British ambassador 10 the
United States just now are several
great and troublesome problems, and
II Is known that Mr. Bryce's friends
feared that II he continued In office at
this time he would break down his
health and probably have TO abandon
