It would be quito worth while for the

her a great deal of anxiety and trouble

sort that is satisfied with nothing save for
a very short time. Every head and face
has some eminently suitable style, and
this should bo followed, to a certain extent
at least, during the wearer's entire life
time. Marie Antoinette, Martha Washing
ton and other notable woun would
scarcely seem like themselves with their
hair arranged in the frivolous fashion that
many women of the day affect. Imagine
Frances Willard with her liair in a Btralght

ulous in tho extreme. It is only usage

In no direction has fashion been more
completely revolutionized during tho last
decado or so than in tho dress of middle
aged and elderly women. Some years ago
it was considered almost fast for a woman
over 50 to wear any brighter color than
gray or mauvu, and her usual attire con

upon special occasions after tho ono for
which it had been prepared. Such colors
as blue, pink, yellow and whlto were com'
pletely loft out of tho category of possible
ties for tho elderly woman. Slnco then a
totul chaugo has been compassed by slow
degrees, and at the present moment tho
woman who has seen half a century Is free
to deck herself with any colors that she
may elect. Nor is It in dress alone that
tho chaugo has boon so great. Our grand
mothers used to begin to wear caps at tho
ago of 45, whorcas In theso days an eidcrly
woman no moro thinks of wearing a cap
than does her granddaughter. A woman
who has the good fortuno to possess silver
gray or white hair is wlso enough to ap-
predate its beuuty and bocomingness and
to arrange it in such away as to make the
most of it. Sho chooses small, close boa
nets that conceal tho hair as littlo as pos
slblo aud selects colors calculated to set it
off to tho greatest advantage. Black and
gray volvot, jot and steel cannot be im
proved upon ns millinery materials in such
a caso, always with tho additions of a
touch of some decided color liko blue, rose
or magenta. Gray and golden brown Is
also often a becoming combination and
has the merit of not being common.

FOR THE COMPLEXION.
An Old Remedy That Is Far Better Than
Anything New.
Tho celebrated Ninon do PEnclos re
talned, so history avers, her youthful ap
pearanco until extreme old age. Sho was
80 years old when sho died and looked 18.
This in hardly to bo credited as strict
truth, but at the samo time doubtless
there was some remarkable retention of
tho charms of youth. Tho following rec
ipo Is for a complexion lotion which,
whilo incapablo of performing miracles of
rejuvenation, In said to give firmness to
tho skin and help to keep it free from
blemishes, pimples, sunburn and similar
disfigurements.

dally.
The emulsion looks like smooth, thin
cream. ,
Its perfume resembles vanilla. It may
be used instead of soap. It cleanses the
face quite as well aud never makes the
skin red, as soap will often do. Tho cost
of the lotion is Insignificant, which Is an'
other recommendation.
Among the articles of luxury which are
being sold at a reduction nowadays may be
reckoned silk hosiery. Some astonishing
bargains are to bo obtained in these goods,
both In black and colors. The woman who
wears a medium size In everything Is the
one who mainly profits by sales of shoes,
stockings, gloves and garments. Tho un
usually stout or slender person may search
all day for something to fit her and pay the
highest price for it when it Is found, whilo
her sister of average proportions Is suited
in half an hour at half the cost for "the

Oarsmen and Anglers.
The oarsman considers the angler an In
ferior creature. What a fool a fellow
must be to get up at daybreak and run to
the river for the purpose of soaking a Hue
in it from morning till night!
The oarsman gets up at the same time,
jumps into his boat and pulls all day long,
rubbing himself upon the thwart like a
broom over a carpet.
The angler gets suustruck; so does the
oarsman.
The angUr sees nothing of the country
that surrounds him; neither does the oars
man.
The oarsman makes fun of the angler,
and. the angler never makes fun of the
oarsman.
The oarsman sometimes tumbles Into
the water, and It often happens that an
angler close by Ashes him out. That
why the oarsman despises the angler, Hut
the angler laughs at thlscontempt. What

RAW SILK IN AMERICA
ITS
CULTURE
EARLIEST
BEGAN WITH
COLONIZATION.
THE
Though Silk Mills Flourish, This Coun
try Fulls to 1'roduce the Caw Material.
Cocoon Nurture Is Possible In Three
fourths of the Country.
If W. W. Cleaver, of Unadilla, who la
reported as having 25,000 silkworms at
work, can demonstrate the possibility of
making $100 a month by silk culture on a
small scale, he may bmg on another craze
like that of 1S38. After nearly 800 years of
experiment it is pretty well established
that the silkworm may be made to thrive
in this country and over quite three
fourths of its area; but in spite of this the
silk manufacturing industry has grown to
great proportions in the United States
without material aid from growers of na
tive silk, and the native product outs no
figure in the consumption of the mills.
The experiment of growing raw silk has
gone ou persistently almost since the day
that the first permanent colonist set foot
upon the continent. Cortez brought silk
worms to Mexico in 1523, and James I tried
to send eggs to Virginia in 1009, only two
years after the settlement of Jamestown,
but failed because of a shipwreck. Ton
years later Virginians were urged to raise
silk, and penal statutes were passed en
joining the industry upon the colonists.
Nearly every state in the union has
sought to encourage silk culture, and all
sorts of societies have been formed to pro
mote the Industry. The victims of John
Law's West India scheme were allured
with the hope of successful silk culture in
America. W hen Georgia was settled in
uii grants of land were made, with the
stipulation that for every ten acres 100
white mulberry trees should be planted,
Georgia developed the industry to a greater
degree than any other colony. The lirst
shipment of Georgia silk to England was
made in Yi'io. It weighed eight pounds.
A filature for reeling raw silk was estab
lished at Savannah in 1750, and in 1759
Georgia exported 10,000 pounds of silk to
England. After that cotton came in, aud
being more profitable than silk drove the
latter out, just as tobacco bad driven it
out in Virginia more than 100 years before.
Some silk was raised in Georgia even dur
ing the Revolutionary war, and there was
a small export trade as late as 1 7U0.
For nearly 100 years there was a deter
mined effort to grow silk in Connecticut.
In 1819 live tons of raw silk were grown at
Mansfield, and for several years the value
of Connecticut's raw silk product exceeded
1100,000 per year. President Stiles, of Yale
college, grew silkworms and wrote a book
on silk culture. During the last twenty
live years of the colonial period experi
ments in silk culture were made in Penn
sylvania, New York, New Jersey and
Maryland. The Revolutionary war, how
ever, interrupted the experiments, and a
plan of Benjamin Fraukliu's to build a
filature for reeling silk in Philadelphia
was given up.
The industry had so much decreased In
1780 that a newspaper of the day mentions
as a remarkable fact that a family in
Maryland had 2,000 silkworms at work
Now, an ounce of fertile eggs will produce
nearly 40,000 worms. In 1790 there were
fifty families in New Haven raising silk
worms, aud a local paper hoped it would
soon be disreputable for a lady or gentle
man to be found wearing thick silk not of
native growth. A company in Rhode
Island had 80,000 mulberry trees growing
in 1833, and the legislature offered a bounty
of fifty cents a pound on raw silk grown
within tho state. A newspaper declared
that Rhode Island was likely to take the
lead In the manufacture of silk as of cot
ton. ,
In 1810 so greatly had the industry
grown that the United States exported
01,552 pounds of raw silk, and in 1814 near
ly 400,000 pounds, but in 1850 the export
was only 14,703 pounds. It was in the
period between 1835 and 1850 that the great
craze for silk raising seized the middle
states. A company with the president of
a learned society at its head was formed
for the furtherance of the industry in Penn
sylvania. A Frenchman came out from
Lyons to teach the art of managing silk
worms, and elaborate instructions were
printed. The craze spread into Delaware
and Maryland. It was urged that this in
dustry could be carried on at home, and
that it furnished easy aud profitable work
for women and children. In those days
American women were more easily im
pressed with the glamour of royalty, and it
was represented that royal laies in all
times bad been deeply interested in silk
culture. Hundreds of homes became the
scene of the industry and dainty girls
sedulously gathered mulberry leaves
feed those ravenous worms. Everybody
was in a flutter of excitement at the pros
pect. Thousands of mulberry trees were
planted, and some of them or their de
scendants still linger.
An almost fatal disaster, attended with
curious manifestations, overtook the silk
growers of Pennsylvania in 1S38-U. It was
represented that the Chinese or South Sea
mulberry was in every way as suitable
ns the white mulberry to feed silk
worms. Thereupon there began to bo
great speculation in the Chinese mulberry.
One narserymau ordered 6,000,000 of the
plants from France, and sent over 180,000
in gold to bind the bargain. Tiny twigs
brought one and two dollars apiece, and
were sold two or three times in rapid suc
cession, each time at an advance The
speculation was like that which raged in
the days of the tulip craze. Late in 1889
the collapse came, aud in the spring of
1840 the Chinese mulberry sold at two and
three cents each. While the speculation
was at Its height 100,000 changed hands
for plants during one week in Philadel
phia alone.
In 1844 many of the Chinese mulberry
plants were killed by a severe frost, and
even tonuectlcut was discouraged.
was then that the New England capitalists
set about building mills and importing
raw silk.
The hope of growing raw silk has per
sistently maintained a foothold in Phila
delphia, and that city is the home of the
Woman's suk (Julture association. Ixiri
Blodgett told the Franklin institute about
ten years ago that there could be no doubt
that it was possible to grow raw silk
this country at a moderate profit. He
thought it must be done on a small scale
as incident to other departments of farm
work, and it must be left in large part to
women and children. New Xork Sun.

TRAITS OF FRENCH SERVANTS.
Many Bespects They Differ From
English and American "Help."
Servants in France are much more hu
man than those across tho channel. They
are moro Independent, too, at least in out
ward seeming, They aro capable of "an
swering back," likewise of vindictiveness.
I know of a certain Parisian lady who
had the unhappy thought to go below
stairs on her return from opera or ball,
with the object of a secret inspection of the
premises. The-servants soon knew it; with
the result that madam's beautiful dresses
were spoiled, in consequence of the doors
and doorways being ingeniously greased.
The story was told me by tho wife of ono
of the men servants.
It is to be remembered that the best
French servants do not take service with
foreigners from the simple fact that they
have small chance of securing a place in a
good French family afterward. French
women think the English very bad house
keepers. They do not take into considera
tion that the English have their children
about them, that they usually have large
families, that friends who drop in are
pressed to stay to luncheon or dinner and
the master of the house feels at liberty to
invite a man friend to any meal without
warning.
Wages in l rancn are lower man in Eng
land, the "tips" given are small, the guests
few. No establishment is kept up daring
the absence of the family, as it would be
in England, nor do the French take a
small army ot domestics with them when
they go to the seashore.
A French woman gets twice tho work
out of her servants that an English woman
does, and the work is better. One reason
for this is that the day docs not begin with
that most disagreeable of meals, au Eng
lish or American breakfast. Madame
takes her coffee in her room. Coffee and
a roll are all monsieur and tho children de
mand. Let us say that this modest repast
is served at about half past 8. This leaves
the cook, save for tho making of the coffee,
her entire morning for the arranging and
preparing of her second breakfast or lunch
eon and the dinner.
Madame goes about in, I grieve to say, a
"peignoir," and instructs her Btnff; or if
but one or two servants are kept she dusts
all ornaments, and having set the ma
chinery in working order leaves it to work
by itself. Once dressed for the day she
does not descend from her dins of "grando
dame." We often hear French servants
accused of dishonesty. I did ndt, however,
find them thievish. If they do steal, you
may bo sure that they will take something
worth taking.
There is a good deal of esprit do corps
about them. They have small interests of
their own and are not gossips. It is un
wise iu France to do your own marketing;
your cook will do it better than you. Sho
gets a certain percentage from the market
women, but she buys things cheaper than
you can; therefore you are not really out
ol pocket and aro saved trouble,
Coachmen and footmen aro frequently
Imported from England aud receive high
wages. All other wages may bo placed
somewhat lower than in England, but vou
will get a better cook at a hundred dollars
a year in Franco than you could anywhere
in Great Britain. The French housemaid
does not work as hard as the English house
maid does. In the first place, the "froteur"
comes every week or every two weeks to
polish the floors and stairs; in the next, sho
does not have baths in each room to fill,
empty and keep clean, as our French
friends do not deem a morning tub abso
lutely necessary.
The duties of housekeeper, butler and
cook are about tho same as in England, as
are thoso of tho lady's maid. Cor. Kate

What Curry Is.
In quiet households there Is a prejudice
against curry as against rum and tobacco.
while the traveling public thinks of it as
a yellow, sticky substance encircline
lumps of cold, doughy rice, mode known
on the transatlantic steamers, and under
circumstances not to be recalled.
Curry, as every one knows, is native to
India. My own idea of it until very re
cently was that it was the berry or seed of
the curry tree, which was dried and then
ground. I was wrong; but I have now an
intelligent basis for appreciation. Curry
is a concourse of atoms, not fortuitous, but
as a marvelous result ot tho Hindoo sub
tlety, judgment and taste, as Nirvana and
the transmigration of souls are of the sub
tlety, philosophy and attractiveness of the
Buddhistic belief. ' Curry Is a vegetable;
rather, curry is vegetables. It is anise,
coriander, cumin, mustard, poppy seeds,
allspice, almonds, asafetida, ghee, carda-
mou seeds, chuubcrries, cinnamon, cloves,
cocoanut, coacoanut milk, oil, curds, fenu
greek seeds, an Indian nut I cant spell
garlic, onion, ginger, lime juice, vinegar,
mace, mangoes, nutmeg, pepper, saffron,

These are all pounded together, dried in

Old Time Circus Fights.
There were many stubborn fights in the
old days between the circus men and the
tough citizens, as lots of the veteran show
men can attest. When W. C. Coup was in
Georgia ou one occasion a city marshal
pulled a gun on him and snapped it in his
face because his wife had lost her jacket
while watching the performance. This
was the signal for a hand to hand fight
among tne circus men and tho local
toughs, in which the latter wero badly
worsted. At another time down in Missis
sippi, where the mud was so deep it was
impossible to unload the menagjrie wag
ons, the show was given without tho ani
mals appearing.
This made the people mad, and that
evening after the performance a gang of
men went over to where tho razorbacks
wero loading and attempted to shoot into
the cages. Of course a vicious fight re
sulted, in which both sides lost iievcral
men besides carrying off lots of wounded
ones. Chicago Herald.
