Old Portraits in Horn.
Most of the specimens that havi
been handed down to us of impressed
horn work , so greatly valued at th (
time , dalo from about the sixteenth
century to the very early part of the
nineteenth ; but it was from the mid
dle of this period , about IToO , that the
beat specimens have been left us. When
the well-dressed beaux in Queen
Anne's ri-iga took to carrying snuff
boxes , this gave a great impetus to an
art produced by softening the horn in
hot water , and so pressing it into
molds , which were specially sharp cut
and clear of outline. In this way many
portraits have been handed down to
tis. not always of those living at the
time , but from some cause or other
brought prominently forward. The
Stuart kings found special acceptance
with the .Jacobites , and the arms of
noted families have been perpetuated
.with their portraits.
; The two most famous artists In horn
work were .lohn Osborn. who was hard
at work at Amsterdam in the second
decade of the seventeenth century , and
John O'Udsset , whose handiworks
were executed in England early in the
eighteenth.
Tortoise shell , turtle , elk horn and
wood were treated in the same fash-
Ion. Tho wooden impressed work ap
pertains to Germany , and among other
examples one depicting Louis X. , King
of France , survives.

Just Common Gamblers.

M T * * "Lind the business world professes to be shock-
led. The race track fiend takes $10 from his
I employer's till , loses it with the aid of a dope
[ sheet , and then takes more. That is simply
IJigelow in a minor key. There is not a shad
ow of difference in the moral or ethical aspect
of the case. They arc gamblers all just common gamblers.
If anything , the fellow with the automobile and the dia
monds deserves less sympathy than the shoestring player ,
who has to borrow car far home.
It may be possible to be a gambler without being a
thief , but there are more thieves made by gambling than
by all other causes combined. The confirmed gambler is
usually devoid of moral sense. So are thieves , embryo or
actual.
The moral plane of the millionaire wheat or stock
plunger is exactly that of the dice-thrower or faro player.
He is looking for something for nothing. If he happens
to be the president of a bank , and gambles with sacred
trust funds , he adds the most contemptible form of crime
to his moral depravity. If lie happens to be au alleged
pillar of society , a vestryman iu a church , a prominent
factor in charitable and philanthropic work , his downfall

Such is gamblers' luck. A gambler that takes such
chances in cold blood has no claim pn any one's sympathy.

Fads in the School.
IIE New York Board of Education has voted
to shorten the course of study in the elemen
tary schools , cutting out the "fads and fancies"
I .uul confining the instruction strictly to essen
tials.
The teaching of sewing , physical training ,
organized games , physiology , hygiene and

SILK CULTURE.
Like the culture of tea , silk produc
tion , which confers an enormous bene
fit on China , and has now become an
indispensable industry to the world , is
the most modest occupation imagina
ble. In "Through China with a Cam
era , " Mr. Thomson describes the vari
ous progressive steps through which
the staple passes till it is ready for the
looms of China or Lyons.
The eags 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 loaves cut up into
small shreds. As the worms increase
in size they are transferred to a 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 thorn
entire. After hatching , the worms con
tinue eating during five days , and then
Bleep for the rst iime for two days.
When they again awake , their appe
tite is not quito 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
task of spinning occupies them from
four to seven days more ; and when
this business is completed , three days
are spent in stripping off the cocoon ,
and some seven days later each small
cultivator brings his silken harvest to
the local market and disposes of it to
native traders , who make it 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 , bj the
own particular hobby the all-important one , and the list !
of studies have become lumbered up with the "brighi
thoughts" of several generations of amateur educational
ists. Meanwhile , common sense has had a poor chance.
"Only a short time ago , " says Commissioner Adams , ol
the New York board , "I was directed b } * a concern with
which I am connected to secure the services of two young
men as cleiks. There were about 120 applicants for these
positions. The greater portion of them were from the
public schools of this city. You ought to see the letters
they wrote. They were absolutely disgraceful. The spell
ing was bad and the writing itself was worse. "
The same complaint comes from every quarter. The
colleges complain of the bad spelling of would-be matric
ulates , and even the engineering schools assert that the
engineers they turn out cannot write a report in decent
English.
It will be a blessing alike to the children and the tax
payers if the expensive gewgaws introduced into the pub
lic schools , particularly into the elementary schools , by
alleged educators be abolished and higher standards of
practical efficiency exacted. Kansas City World.
Accounting for Railway Casualties.
HERE are several conditions peculiar to Amer
ican railroads which account for our large cas
ualty list. The chief among tbese , undoubted
ly , is the inherent restlessness of a not incon
siderable section of our railroad employes ,
which shows itself in the chronic disposition to
mQve on jind try some new field of work. Thin
'
results in a conFiniinT'change of personnel , with the result
that at any given time , on any given road , there will be
found a large number of employes who are entirely new to ,
or but little familiar with , the special local conditions sur
rounding their work. Now , it is this familiarity with the
lociil conditions , over and above the general knowledge
which any engineer , conductor , brakeman , signalman ,
switchman , must have of his duties in the abstract it is
this familiarity we say , that is the very best safeguard
against railroad accidents , or at least against those that
have to do with the running of the trains.
Second only in importance as a contributory cause to
railroad accidents is the continual change which is taking
place iu the management and ollicial staff of our railroads ,
and in their ownership. As a result of the mad whirl of
organization and reorganization , combinations , receiver
ships , and what not , there is a continual change of man
agement from president to roadmaster. Well-established
organizations and systems of management , that have
gained that smoothness and accuracy of working and that
mutual confidence and sense of interdependence , which can
only come from long and successful association in the oper
ation of a particular system , are suddenly broken up by the
sale of the road or its combination with some other sys
tem ; new men are introduced into high offices ; and they ,
in turn , have their own particular friends or well-tried as
sistants whom they naturally wish to introduce ; heart
burnings , jealousies and disappointments ensue ; and the
whole operative system of the road is shaken from summit
to foundation ; for the general unrest invariably distributes
itself throughout the whole working force of the road , with
a consequent lowering of discipline and more or less care
less performance of duties. Scientific American.

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 1st , the first season's
silk is usually brought down. It 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 tilled lands ,
and the rearing of the worm and the
production of silk by no means mo
nopolize the whole of their time. It is
only a spring occupation for the wom

COLORS VARIED AT WILL.
Butterflies of Any Bcbired Species Pro
duced by Scientist.
A discovery of the greatest import
ance to zoology , nothing l ss , in fact ,
than the production of varieties of but
terflies simply by the use of changes
of temperature of the chrysalides and
cocoons , is announced in Nuova Antol-
ogia of Rome. Such experiments are
peculiarly interesting , in view of the
recent work and theories of Professor
Hugo Do Yries , of Amsterdam , on the
subject of species and variation.
For a long time work In zoology has
been centered upon classification , but
now the study has become an experi
mental one , and in this new road Pro
fessor Standfuss , of Zurich , has ob
tained some remarkable results. It
seems that certain species of butter
flies have successive and different gen
erations , the chrysalides of the vancssa
lavana , for example , producing in the
spring a butterfly which deposits its
egg in summer , and from which there
is born in the same year a butterfly
which differs entirely In form and col
or from the first generation. Now , If
we submit the autumn egg to a high
temperature 80 degrees Fahrenheit the
butterfly which is born has the same
form and color as the summer insect.
The same result is obtained with the
vanessa urticae , which is found under
different forms at the North Cape and
in Sardinia. By cooling the a5r in
which the egg. cocoon or chrysalis is
placed there is obtained the northern
form of the butterfly , while if he warm
the egg or cocoon to SG degrees Fah
renheit the southern form conies into
existence. A splendid experiment is
the one which may be performed with
the macaone. In this case one need
only raise the temperature to obtain
the beautiful form of the butterfly
Avhlch lives in the orient ; exposing the
chrysalis alternately to temperatures
of 40 degrees above zero centigrade
and 40 degrees below , we obtain an
ancient species , which is no longer in
existence. This1 experiment was made
by Standfuss on from six to seven
thousand cocoons and chrysalides , and
he succeeded in obtaining the greater
portion of the species of the past as
well as some of the new species , and
this to such a degree that he could
clearly demonstrate the effect of hered
ity.
ity.Not
Not only differences of temperature ,
however , but al o the chemical com
position of the air. has its effect on tho
chrysalis and produces a variation in
the development. It is possible simply
by changing the chemical composition
of the air to change entirely the color
of the butterfly.

could not do any household work , but
would have to lie down , and afterwards
I would have very trying nervous spells. "
" Didn't you have a doctor ? " she was
asked.
" Yes , I consulted several doctors but
my health did not improve. One day a
friend asked me why I did not try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. She assured me
that they had proved of the greatest ben

she praised them , so enthusiastically thafc
my husband got me a box. "
"Aud what was the result ? "
"Before I bad taken half of the first
box my condition was greatly improved.
The quickness with which they reached
and relieved all my troubles was really
surprising. After I had used only three
boxes I had no more heat-flashes or
weak spells. Thanks to them , I have
become a well woman. "

Railroad Rate Legislation.
Testifying before the Senate ccns-

ling unless it can charge a rate. Now
has always seemed to me that when

areasonable rate , it deprives the rail-i

into. It is not necessary that you.
lould confiscate the property of a [
