Silk can now fce made from wood pulp by machinery at very small cost and without the unreliable services oi the silk worm. The process is a French invention. Extensive factories are soon to be built in this country for the manufacture of the "new" silk and the silk worm is likely to lose his job.

Prince Bismarck grows philosophical and sentimental in his old age, and expresses his feelings in a graceful way. At the recent ovation tendered to the Iron Chancellor at Friedrichsruhe the Prince said: 'One of the advantages of becoming old is that one becomes indifferent to hatred, insult and calumnv, while one's capacity for love and good will is increased."

Edison is now proposing to combine the phonograph and kinetoscopc and expects to produce a machine capable o!' transferring an entire play to a big screen at any theater and at the same time reproduce the various spoken and musical parts so that they may be heard in any part of the house. The wizard says he will sit in a New York theater and enjoy a London play or a Paris Grand Opera.

The doctors are saying such Stvful things about natural gas that localities in which it is an unknown quantity will probably soon be advertising their advantages as health resorts for unfortunate people who have ruined their health by keeping warm with gas fires. The most notable symptoms alleged to be the result of the improper use oi natural gas are various affections of the eye, dryness of the air passages, constriction of the throat* and a sense of suffocation, dry hacking cough and a dull headache and general languor. At the recent' meeting of the State Health Conference several papers were read urging the necessity of a more careful use of the gas as a fuel for heating houses. The prevailing habit of gas users in keeping their houses too warm was especially condemned.

The rage for "ceremonies" of all descriptions seems to be gaining ground We read of ceremonial christenings, increasing red tape at swell weddings, interminable dedications of all kinds oi edifices, etc., etc. The launching of ships has for centuries been made the occasion for holidays at

sea-ports

and

the final scene has afforded gratification to thousands who have had an eye for the spectacular. The vessel has usuallybeen christened with a bottle of wine broken over the bow by a beautiful maid, who at the same instant bestowed the name upon the craft which it was to .-"irry over seas. This was all well Tnugh at the seaside, but when it comes to launching sand scows 011 White River at Indianapolis with all the formality used for an ocean liner the affair becomes ludicrous, if not ridiculous. The display of bunting and the general holiday appearance of the surroundings, however, pleases the children and affords a harmless pastime for all who can forget that the ceremony is a travesty on the real tiling as seen by people at'the seashore.

AN INHERITANCE LAW. The New York Legislature lias passed a vigorous law for the taxation of all inheritances. The law now awaits the Governor's signature which it is presumed will be withheld. A large exodus of millionaires is anticipated. The new law is an amendment to the existing statute, which taxes all inheritances 5 per cent, on their appraised value, and requires that there shall be a graduated tax of 1 per cent, on each $250,000 in excess of $500,000 until the sum of $3,000,000 is reached, when there shall be a fixed tax of 15 per cent. In case an heir inherits $1,000,000 from a deceased relative he must "give up," under this law, the neat fortune of $70,000 to the State. If the legacy amount to $2,000,000 the "tax" will be $220,000. The great millionaires are vigorously "kicking" and will no doubt carry their opposition to the statute to the court of last resort at the first opportunity. They argue that such a law is unwise, because rich men will refuse to die in New York at all. They will remove to other states and by so doing will reduce the demands of the tax duplicates much more than the State treasury will gain .Jrom the inheritance tax—large as it is— whereas if a reasonable law is passed they will remain. The new inheritance law can not be "dodged" by the gift of property before death, as it applies to all transfers of real or personal property for a nominal consideration.

It is an old saying: "He would laugh if he was dying." This would as a rule be more excusable than to laugh when others are dying. Yet it sometimes happens, even amidst scenes of death and destruction, that incidents and persons will combine to produce situations absolutely irresistible as fun producers to persons at all susceptible. Such a culmination occurred on board the steamship Leona which was compelled to return to New York because of a bad fire off the Delaware capes which suffocated thirteen steerage passengers and damaged the ship considerably. While the conflagration was raging there was great excitement among the passengers. Mr. Woodruff, of New

York, a commercial traveler, hastily grabbed a life preserver and his sample cases, called for his "plug" hat and coolly announced that lie was prepared for the worst. An amateur "kodaker" with an eye for the ludicrous, secured a snap-shot of the hero which was reproduced in the city papers. The funny phase of the episode was the way in which M. W. clung to his silk hat. Fortunately it did not get wet.

The Senate has passed the bill appropriating $1,500,000 for a public building at Indianapolis and the people of that city begin to feel that their day of deliverance from the antique stone structure which is made to serve as a postoffice and Federal court house is at hand. The necessity for a new Government building at the State capital is generally conceded. In fact, it may be safely stated that the Indianapolis postoffice is about the most ill-contrived, inconvenient, unhealthy and unfit public building for the purposes for which it is used in the United States. One million five hundred thousand dolars will pay for a very handsome specimen of architecture that will add materially to the attractions of the Hoosier capita!.

"The City of New York" is the official description of the huge municipality which will come into existence January 1, 1898. under the government of a Mayor and Municipal Assembly to be elected November 2, next. The population of the "new" city will be 2,400,000, which will make it rank as the second largest city in the world. The boundaries o! the new city include the city and county of New York, the city of Brooklyn and the county of Kings, Long Island City, Newtown, Flushing, Jamaica, Far Rockawav, Richmond Hill, Whitestone, Morris Park, part of Hempstead, in the county of Queens, the town of West Chester, the village of Williamsbridge and parts of the towns of East Chester and Pelham. in the county of West Chester, Castleton, Middletown. Southfield, Northfield, Westfield. Edgewater, New Brighton, Port Richmond and Tottenville. in the county oi Richmond. The area is 31777 square miles, and its greatest length will be thirty-five miles. There are 1, 300 miles of improved streets. 1.186 places oi worship, 5,800 policemen, 140,000 inhabited dwellings, 6.000 acres of parks, 37,000 business structures, 2,000 miles of gas mains, 1,125 hotels and 350 public schools. The Mayor under the new regime will hold office four years and receive a salary of $15,000 per year.

He will make all appointments and will in fact have more power than the President of the United States.

"OLD TRINITY."

the

Old Trinity parish of New York. oldest and richest church organization in America, has recently been celebrating with great pomp its 200th anniversary. This society, with its numerous missions and vast holdings of untaxed real estate in the midst of the most valuable scction of the great city, is a survival of what might be termed the British Established Church on American soil. Deriving its land grants as it did from the English crown, and parliamentary and assembly grants nearly 100 vears before the Revolution, it has held them to this day without question from modern rulers of either State or Nation. Bishop Potter's address was eloquent to a rare degree. In part he said: "The significant thing in the anniversary which we are keeping today is that all through the vanishing plans and schemes which through the centuries this church has looked down upon— the colossal enterprises that have sprung up and thriven and crumbled into dust, the great fortunes that have been won and lost, the reputations that have seemed so stable and proved so evanscent, the everlasting march of human energy and enterprise, contriving, constructing, triumphing and then vanishing into thin air—it has stood serene, a steadily deepening, widening, greatening influence for God and for good."

To Trinity's unfriendly critics the Bishop had this to say: "Would any of us like to calculate the multitudes of clever people that, looking over this scene, have uttered their fine contempt for an ecclesiastical body that had so stupid a perception of the best uses, in the midst of a great city, of real estate? 'Improve it,' cry these, 'and make these building lots productive and profitable for the enrichment, if you please, of your church's coffers. Hustle these graves into some remote corner or distant cemetery and rear here a twentystory building, or a row of them, for income!' "And all the while the church stands, already beginning to be touched with the fine charm of age and ripeness, and the dead sleep here undisturbed. Who shall estimate with what solemn and tender voice the two have spoken all these years to the fevered thoughts of men? Looking down the memorable highway yonder (Wall street), through which have ebbed and flowed the financial forces of the nation, the bells in yonder tower have spoken of God, and time, and human destiny."

Other speakers followed and the most elaborate services were conducted at midday. The old church was crowded to its utmost capacity and the overflow impeded traffic on Broadway. Bishop Potter and other church dignitaries were arrayed in robes of vivid scarlet and the building was beautifully decoritcd. "Old Trinity," as nearly everybody knows, stands on lower Broadway, New York, looking down Wall street..

AFTER MANY YEARS.

And

BY II. I.cocker, ND now. Miss Jin11 ey, you is alius a wantin' a story about dem tryin' times in Olc Carol'ney, an' l's jes don' tole ye all I knowed ober and ober agin." ... colored cook, 'Tilda

Jackson, knocked the ashes out of her pipe on the hearth of the kitchen range, which to us children was a preliminary sign that old 'Tilda held in reserve one of her reminiscences of her life on the Old Carter plantation, near the city oi Charleston, and of the civil war.

We children, my sister and I, used to love to steal down to her especial domain in the gloaming, and tease for a story of that enchanted land of flowers, and especially of those battles fought near the Carter place, and of which the old negress was an eye witness.

Refilling her pipe, and settling herself in her easy chair, she continued: "I jes' done recolmember one moah of dem yarns, but it's erbout how my ole missus kep Decoration Day all by her lone self, an' how she done put poses on one grave fur fifteen long years -fore she found out who de poah young fella was."

Here old 'Tilda stopped and lighted her pipe, puffed away with a retrospective glance at us two girls, as wc crept closer to this oracle in ebony, and. having stimulated our curiosity', she continued: "Wal, jeV a couple o' days after dat ere big fight at Charleston my ole man. Lige Jackson, he was down back o' de field a cuttin' bresh, an' all at once 1 seen him drop the axe. an' start fur de house 011 a run. An' I was dat scart 1 let de soap boil over, case 1 was makin'

An', shore enough, when he came up, all out of breff, I knowed it was time to git scart, an' says he: "Tildy, tell de missus dar's a sojier lyin' down dar back ob de fence, by de run, an' 1 recon lie is powful bad hurt, 'case he's a grownin' an' done seem to sense notin'.'

Memorial Day and Its Significance. There is a melancholy pleasure in considering this great anniversary, second only in importance to Fourth of July, but overshadowed by a vastlv different sentiment. Independence Day is the birthday of American freedom. Memorial Day may well be called its day of baptism and consecration. On this occasion we turn from the everyday concerns of life and give ourselves up to the contemplation of acts of heroism that raise humanity above the common level and link it more closcly to the Divine Spirit. These heroes whose graves we strew with flowers gave their lives for their country, sacrificcd themselves and all that they possessed that liberty and peace as established by the Constitution of the United States might be freed from the bands that had been thrown around them, and might flourish untrammeled, unconditioned, and without reproach.

It Uiifi Worth While.

The war of the rebellion, dreadful as it was. a strife of brother again I brother. was worth while if for 110 other reason than that it broke the bends of millions of human beings, and made human slavery in the countrv impossible forevcrmore.

TWO HOLIDAYS.

'o Little Relations Maintained Ue-

tweon May 30 and July 4.

There is far too little relation maintained between Independence Day and Memorial Day. One is the natural sequence of the other, and the celebration of both should be observed with due solemnity as, well as with comely and becoming rejoicing. A sacred servicc of thanksgiving, of grand and appropriate music, then with the congregation pouring out into the highways and byways of the earth, the spirit of peace and good-will might be merged into a feeling of joyousness and a giving way to all forms of hilarious sport and innocent amusement. We have in one of these days honored our forefathers through whose wise and determined efforts the country was established, and in the other wc have remembered those who rescued us from danger and saved up for a great and glorious future. These days are the red-letter days in the American calendar--impressive because they arc reminders of great struggles, because they made our present condition of existence possible happy because wc know by them, and what they typify, that the spirit of patriotism, self-sacrifice and the great and all-com-prehensive spirit of divinity that was originally planted in the hearts of men has neither been dimmed nor extinguished. It has only slumbered and smoldered the living fire is there', and needs by the breath of treason or the slightest blow from an assaulting hand to bring it full-grown to its feet, a stalwart young giant able to cope with any adversary that threatens the life and the union of the states.
