NOVES..................Baitor THE EVENING STAR has we fullest Lecal Cireulation of any Newspaper in the Werle, and as an Advertising Mediuw i worth mere than all the wines payers pususned Kew York Office: Room 93, Tribane Building, SSS ss The movement to get rid of the long bridge, or, s8 au alternative, to alter its construction so that it shall no longor be an ot ect of terror to our river-skirted city, will receive the cordial approval of all citizens interested in the wel- fare of the District. Tae Staa has many times urged the abatement of this threatening nuisance, and it sees with great satiafaction the indications that the community is now ready to take hold of the matter earnestly and vig- crously. The piers of the present bridge are held im place by pyramids of stone, which, firetching actoss a channel only 2,000 feet wide, moke the basis for a dam of mud and drift brought down whenever the upper river rises enough to cut away ite banks, Every one knows what happens when such a backwater forms. We had a fine illustration of it in February, 1831, and nnother last June. There is no telling how many more we may have in the uear future, if, as some scientists believe, the Atlantic vapor bank which has shifted its position toward the west, and caused the excessive humidity of the last six months, has come to stay with us a good while. This is not merely # question of incon- venience, it is one of positive. danger. Theo welfare of all Washington depends more or less upon the Carrying out of the proposed improve- ment. When the lower levels of the city are flooded, it is not the river water, turned into the street. which is the most dreaded feature of the inundation, distressing as that may be, It is the backing of the sewers and the distri- bution of their filth upon the surface. It is not even the soaking given to the cellar-stored goods of the merchants which justi- fies the loudest popular complaints, but the peril in which the public health is put by having the scavengings of a city of a quar- ter-million inhabitants saturated with water and strewn about to rot under the nostrils of the people. When, therefore, we consider the effect upon the health of the city, the great losses of property, the detention of trains and eutting off of mail facilities, an amount of euf- fering is imposed upon the community which is not easily described. Major Hains has re- peatedly drawn attention to the subject in his reports aud urged that steps be taken to re- move the evil, but in vain. Let us hope that the renewed agitation by the people themselves may bear more fruit. a Among the ingenious schemes of systematized charity and education which the human mind | has devised of late that of Mra, Rovert W. | Chapin of New York deserves a place in the front rank, and will appeal to the widest eircle of sympathizers. Mrs, Chapin proposes to es- tablish a school for children’s nurses. She will take girls from seventeen to twenty-five years old and put them through at least a six months’ training in the preparation of children’s food, bathing and dressing the little ones, giving them exercise, and in the various other duties required of nurses in actual service, The school will be well endowed, its founder hi self giving $40,000 as a nucleus; the pupils will receive $8 to $10a month while under- going their drill, and a diploma on graduation that will undoubtediy put them in the way of first-rate pay at once, so that no young woman needs to feel that she is losing ground financially by taking the course; and, by making the school an annex to the babies’ hospital, it is hoped to give a practical and experimental training in addition to the formal instruction. There is abundant room for such an institntion in this country. No other is known in the world out- side of Germany, and the German graduates donotseem tohave got over to America in any considerable numbers. The unhappy mothers who are now compelled to pay large wages to women for acting the part of nurses, and then do all the work themselves and spend hours of every day besides in pouring instruc- tion into a sieve, will declare Mrs. Chapin the leading benefactor of her sex. The invention of the system of trained sick nurses, of cook- ing and sewing schools, and of “kitchen gar- dens,” while beyoud praiso for the benedits each confers on the world, must take a second place in deference to this new idea, the scope of whose benevolence goes back so much fur- ther, to the very earliest infancy of each gen- eration; for every thoughtful person knows how much the later life of the average human being is shaped and directed by what happens to be the surroundings of his babyhood, oo The report of the post-office commission, published in this issue, contains a forcible statement of the discreditable condition of the capital's post-office accommodations, What efty in the republic with a quarter million of people, represented in the national legislature, would be permitted to be disgraced by such a post-office? In what other city wonld the dis- grace for this shameful neglect fall so directly upon the national legislature and be 6@ con- spicuous before the eyes of the world? At the national capital alone among the large American cities is a wonderfully increasing post-office business conducted and a corre- spondingly increasing force housed in note- riously untit rented quarters, “the synonym for all that is utterly bad in the matter of iight, ventilation, cleanliness, safety and comfort.” Nowhere else are such vaiuable government property and records #0 exposed to fire, to robbers, and, in the storage rooms of the base- ment, to flood, which threatens also the health of clerks employed in the building and of the visiting public. At the city of the nation, where the post-office ought to furnish to the whole republic @ conspicuous example of everything that 8 post-office should be, instead of this model has been substituted, so far ns accommo- dations are concerned, a frightful warning, illustrative of everything that a post- office should not be. Not mersly for the con- venience and satisfaction of the people of Washington but for the credit of the nation Congress should at the first opportunity buy a saitable site and erect a suitable post-office building here, The extraordinary volume and character of the business of the local office, and the conspicuons position of Washington as the capital demand such action, though the city Jacks direct representatives in the national leg- islature to give voice to this demand and to make it effective by log-rolling and swapping votes, eo New York has, to all intents, stepped ont of the contest for the world’s fair of 1892 Her pies is that there is not time for her to get ready foro great an undertaking. She is right. In a city of her sizo, everything in the way of land-clearing, leveling and rust Becessarily move slowly; and if it takes a year at the outset to find a site, there is still less time left for solid work. Chicago is letting go of ber idea that the city which the fair should pay the bill, In short, all the cities which have hitherto con- tended for the fair on technical grounds are now coming around to the position of arguing the caso on its merits purely. That is all Washington wants, She is the only city in which Congress can appropriately devote a part of the public money for the promotion of such & project, and her geographical situation, her historic environment, her beauty, and her convenient sites for the exhibition are all arguments in ber favor, directly on the merits, oo ‘The Baptists are the first among the Protest- ant religious bodies to take official notjce of the wisdom of the Catholics in choosing Washing- ton for the place in which to build up a great university. Dr. Palmer's remarks at yester- day's meeting in this city were a tribute to the cleverness of the idea and # pointed bint to Protestants to go and do likewise, holds | Ejeet ge Roeovery Parozs Axo War.

TROPICAL AMERICAN TELEPHONE 00, (LTD) Bi-lm ‘(€5 Milk st., Boston, Mass, ano An English publication says: To produce sufficient Silk to make a dress requires more time and capital than most people imagine. If we take one and a quarter ponnds asthe weight of pure Silk required this would be equa! to two poundsof raw Silk To produce two pounds of raw Silk would require the entire Silk obtained from 7,000 to +,000 Worms, slowing @ percentage for death by disease and other casualties. It may be in- teresting to state that these young worms when vewly hatched would scarcely weigh ‘oue quarter of an ounce, yet in the course of their life, which only lasts some thirty to thirty-five days, they will consume about three to four hundred pounds of leaves, and increase in weight about nine thousand times, Consumers of Silk will not wonder at its high value when they consider that to raise two pounds of raw silk so much time and money is required. Besides the orginal cost of the eggs or young worms, they re- quire feeding at revular intervals daily with tmulberry leaves, and consume the above weight of lesves during their life. This ise large item of expense if the cultivator does not grow and guther his own leaves, and is compelled to purchase them, With unremitting care and attention the worms arrive at maturity and commence spinning their cocoons sbout thirty to thirty-five days from hatching, producing # gross weight of twenty to twenty-five pounds (including both silx and worms), ‘this being reduced to two pounds after reel- ing. When the worms are ready for spinning bushes of broom or other lixht material are placed near, into which the worms ascend and spin their cocoons among the branches. A few days after the cocoons are gathered and sorted into various qualities, then Placed ina steam box or subjected to great heat to kill all the worms. ‘This prevents the silk moths from escaping by piercing the cocoons, which would spoil them: for reeling purposes. ‘After killing theworms the reeling begins, which consists in placing a mumber of co- coons in hot water and then joining the threads of four or five cocoons together, the whole being wound round @ reel and thus made into “slips,” or hanks, of fine silk in the raw state. ‘The process of reeling is very slow, one reeler only being able to attend two lots of cocoous, and in this manner reel- ing eight to twelve ounces of raw silk per day, or two pounds for three days. ‘Two threads are wound around the co- coon by the worm simultaneously; these are attached together by the gum in the laid side by side in one ipch, but although 80 fine, one single thread will support about Dalf an ounce without breaking, and so light 20-n. ¥é-in.
