I saw a sort of on of a time, perhaps not quite a hundred years ago,-when two | funny little old-fashioned children, my | brother and I, used to sit still as mice and happy as clams “while grandpa tells a story.” 1 remember, too, that the stories we | used to beg for and rejoice in were. stories | about how things are made or where they come from—real true stories And all that rememberin, wonder all at once if THE CArL's large and flourishing fa y of children woulda’t | like to hear a real true story aboui how something is made. | At first 1 did not feel story with “solid i i be very enterta Kirk of QOakland began to tell me a sto: about silkworms I made up my mind that there was a story good enough for any- | body. Before I tell you what Mrs. Kirk s: want to tell yon what I heard a brig] faced young Wwoman saying to one of the men who weave silk into handkerchiefs. “Wood-fiber,”” said she, “makes a beau- tiful handkerchief. It is equally soft and | fine, aud I think you had better try it. You want to make as good a handker- chief as you can, don’t you? *Well then, you want to send for some | warp and some filling of wood-fiber and you'll be surprised to see what you can | weave.” | 8o I suppose that presently we shall all | be wiping our patrician noses with dainty | little wooden handkerchiefs—which we shall probably believe to be every bit silk. When silkworms are first hatched they d carefully every two hours, ike any other little brand-new babies. | are not strong enough at first to b the mulberry leaves which far- nish the only food these little creatures | ever taste in all their short lives. The | leaves must be .broken for the young worms, so that they can drink the moist- ture of the leaves as it comes to the bruised nasort of m ance the silkworms are carried on s and held up under the mulberry They swarm all over the tree very | v and feed there until they are six sold. The tree is covered carefully | with gauze, as otherwise the birds, whose mission in life it is to protect trees from insect marauders, would eat them up— every last one of them. | In our country the silkworms are always | Kept in a room with a sunny exposure. The room is filled ,with racks, and on these racks are placed pasteboard trays, punched full of holes and piled with fresh leaves. The worms eat all the flesh from the leaves and leave the bones—that is to say, they eat all the soft part and leave the leton, that part that children call the d’I‘hose baby silkworms eat all the time, | ay-gnd pight, for six weeks. They are aboBUEHIEE nches long then, and they are * full to their utmost capacity. Only think of eating steadily and as fast as vou can for six weeks and then never tasting food again in all your life! That is what the silkworm really does. When he is six weeks old he stops his meal and begins |- wandering up and.down in a peeuliar, restless fashion.” “When I was a little girl,” says Mrs. Kirk, “'a lady told me that Miss Cox, one of our neighbors who kept a.little store, ‘was going to be an old maid. “I asked her how she know, and she said, ‘Oh, she has the symptoms.’ “‘Of course I teased to be told what the symptoms were, and finally the lady said ’ that when Miss Cox was not busy at any- thing else she was always weaving.” “‘Weaving? said L. *‘Yes, weaving. If you want to know what that is you must watch Miss Cox.’ “Now Miss Cox was a friend of mine and I didn’t want to be rude. I thoughta long time, but finally my curiosity -con- gpered and I went over to see if Miss Cox id really ‘weave. It wastrue. My friend was never perfectly quiet. If she was not busy she rocked in a restless sort of way, - or moved her hands or swayed her head. *I soon understood what this lady meant when she spoke of ‘weaving,’and I learned to admire her judgment when Miss Cox | turned out to be a genuine old maid.” The silkworm, then, begins his weaying. At first he does nothing but wander up and down over a certain space, as jar as possible from his birthplace and his com- panions. He seems to take possession of a small territory, over which he passes and | repasses restlessly, perhaps to indicate that be has filed a claim upon that particular | locality. Often a ‘sheaf of hay is given the worms to retire to, and they will swarm all over it very quick- Iy, choosing each his place to make a co- coon. When this work is carried on upon a larger scale the cocoons are found all over the sacks, where strings are putup for them as you would arrange your gar- den for sweet peas or morning-glories. The silkworm has a spinning apparatus somewhere near his mouth, and it is con- | nected with hissilkbags, fullof liquid gum. The silk is in this half-liquid state as Mr. Worm weaves 1t, and its gluey nature causes it to adhere to the wall, a string or “the hay. The spinning goes on for some hours— perhaps for two or three days. At the end of that time poor Mr. Worm has walled himself up in a delicate little house of silk, which generally happens to be his tomb. 1f the cocoons are let alone,and if the temperuture is reasonably warm, they are burst open in from three to five weeks, ! and a beautiful moth comes out of each. The moths have great, happy-lookin, eyes, and the males, which are gayer ard rettier than the females, choose each a ady love. These mates fly away together as far as they can, and the male flutters about and tries to make a good impression upon his lady love for a short time. Inone or two days the poor fellow is dead ; and as soon as his mate has laid her eggs she dies, too. One moth will lay enough eggs to hatch out a whole colony of silkworms. The grains of sand, are laid ir little rows usually upon a piece of white paper which some careful hand has supplied. are supplied with a gluey substance which causes them to adhere to the paper. If you are quite sure that you wish to buy some eggs and watch the worms grow , which are not much bigger than | 8 i | sly whispers which grandpa was too deaf The eggs | worn-out worm intoa big bouncing butter- fly within the short space of three weeks? When Grandps Was a Boy. The fire in the grate had died down to a bed of glowing coals and the hands of the clock were not yet pointing to bedtime. grandpa lounged in his easy-chbair, posi- tively glowing, too, with peace and con- tentment. The little boy and the little girl sat with elbows on knees and cheeks on palms, watching the fire and listening to grandpa. The old man’s voice was mellow and sweet and the children loved the sound of | it better than any words. They were craftv litile partners, this boy and girl They made bargams with each other in to catch. “If you'll ask grandpa to tell a storv to- night T'il ask him to-morrow night,’” one of them would say ever so softly. So pretty soon, just to get that pleasant voice under way with its stories, & shrill “LEARNING TO WRITE.,” and live and .die you can buy them by the ounce, and an ounce of eggs will hatch into thousands of worms. A few years ago some kind woman who wished to find work that poor women and children could do at their homes gave a great deal of attention to silk culture. The United States Government tried to help the industry, too, and stations were estab- lished in"various parts of our country. One station on the Piedmont hills has | several acres of fine mulberry trees and a suitable building for the worms. A child 5 years old can feed the si worms, and the work is intensely interest- ing. However, after a great deal of trying it was found that the work of silk:making is too slow and too troublesome to pay in our country. The French peasant women, who are so poor and so patient that they turn every moment to account—knitting while they walk and selling the very hair of their heads—these find the profits of silk culture enough. And the poor people of China, whe can live on a very little rice, these can earn *“Johnny.” aliving at the business. Here the work is only fascinating and instructive—never a commercial success. _There is a great big factory in 8an Fran- cisco where raw silk is made into em- broidery silk, sewing silk and twist. Hun- dreds of girls work here, but the raw silx is pbrought from China or from Europe. This material called raw silk is direct from the cocoons. And that reminds me that I forgot to tell you just what the cocoons are like and what becomes of those that are not allowed to hatch. They are pren{, soft, silky balls, shaped very much like peanuts, but rather lumper: and the variety cultivated here is creamy white. Some that come from France are a fine pea-green and the Chi- nese cocoons are bright yellow. To make silk the cocoons are plunged into boiling water, or else the life of the larva inside is destroyed with chemicals. Then, while the cocoon is wet, the silk is wound off. It comes in a continuous string; always two strands of it, and many, many yards long. This silk, wound from the cocoons, is the raw silk of com- merce. . Busy little . persons, are they not, these silkworms? SR The only idle time in their livesis the few weeks’ vacation which they spend wound up in the little silk houses. Even then they have something to do which looks a little difficult. Must it not be a real task to grow from a i | little childish treble would pipe out some foolish quastion like this: “Say, grandpa, when vou were a little boy did people build fires with the same i kind of matches they have now?” And grandpa would smile and twirl his thumbs round each other between his clasped fingers. He would never make any baste to answer foolish questions, and he never reproved the little folks even when they asked the same thing for the hundredth time. He understood perfectly that the question was really on&ya hint that it was a good time to begin story-tell- ing, and he enjoyed it as much as ihe chil- dren did. “When I was a little boy,” he would be- gin -after thinking his way very carefully, “‘when I was a boy we had never heard of such a thing as matches, nor had anybody else. “We used to build o ir fires with flint and tinder, and it was not always an easy . thing to do. “Itwas thought a careless, shiftless thing to let the fire go out in the first place. “In the year 1795, when I'lived in the mountaing of New Hampshire with my father and mother and my little brothers and sisters, we had more wood than any- thing else. “A huge fireplace was built aeross one end of our log house, and nobody counted the cost of wood in those days. There was only the trouble of cutting it, and the trees bad to be felled anyway to make clearings to raise our crops of corn and wheat and potatoes. “Great fires blazed in the fireplace al- | most all the year round. Butatnight or when the weather was warm, live coals were covered deep underthe ashes, where | they would keep the fire for a long time. “Of course, if the fire went out, we could borrow from our neighbors, and many a time I have ione several miles on horse- beck to bring back a pot of live coals, safely buried up in ashes. * . “Now I am going to tell you of something that bhappened to¥ne when I'was ten years old that came very n eaving you chil- dren without any grand; *‘My father sent me toa mneighbor’s, five miles through the woods, to say that there would be service at the log schooclhouse next Sunday, and everybody must come and brins dinner and supper along, so they could make a day of it. “Mother didn’t much like to have her boy go through the woods alone, especially as it wag-cold weather and the ground was covered with snow. “After a while, when it began to grow dark, mother began to worry, just as mothers always did and always will. She couldn’t help being scared, even if she was the bravest woman in the world, just like your own dear mother. “You see, she knew that there were bears in those woods—yes, real live bears—and she knew that they were hungry just at that time, too. “All the neighbors had lost pigs and had found bear tracks in the snow near their nSs. pe“Well finally, when it got pretty dark, mother Begnn to cry. Then our good dog, Tray, came and looked into her face and licked her hand, and asked, as wellasa dog could, what was the matter, and whether he could be of any use. “{Qh, Tray,” my mother said to him, ‘go and find Charles.” “Tray was happy right away, and he kissed his mistress’ hand, as if he wanted to tell her that he would fix everything all right, and then she opened the door and the faithful fellow took to his heels. “Pretty soon, sure enough, Charles came rushing in at that same door, aimost fright- ened to death. “ ‘There’s a bear up the road!” he man- aged to say. And then my father took down the gun, that was always ready, and hurried out. ‘“‘Sure enough, there was a bear. Charles and the bear and Tray had found each other at the same time. Tray had c"ned the bear back into the woods a little :{ and was dodging around him, keepin| - ways in front and barking ke mad. It seemed as if Tray understood that he must keep the bear from following Cbarles, and even that it-was best to keep him till somebody came with a gun. “Well, my father coula shoot just as well as he could preach, and when the neighbors came to service at the log school- house there was fresh bear meat enough {for everybody to feast on. Mother and our dog Tray were better friends than ever after that, so you needn’t be afraid that anybody cheated the dog out of his fair share of the bones that Sunday or any other.” ‘When the easy flow of grandpa’s voice smpged that greedy boy and girl used to break out, goth in the same breath, “‘Grandpa, won't you please go on?”’ But Enndpa, careful of his laurels and pleased quite as much as the children, would say: “Not just now; but if you are good children till to-morrow night I think there will be some more things ready to tell you.” Mary CALKINS JOHNSON. PRAISES WAL STREET, Banker Henry Clews Thinks It Is Indispensable to the Nation. Raplidly Making New York the.Great Financlal Center of the World. It has been the habit of too many people—well-meaning people, too—to de- cry Wall street as hurtful to the morals of the country and injurious to our best busi- ness interests. Now, this is all wrong. ‘Wall street has been very aptly described as the “business pulse of the nation.” It is that in the very best meaning of the term. Asthe minute hand on the clock denotes the fractional changes in the hour, sodo the fluctuations in the Wall-street markets show the rise and fall of the busi- ness temperature of the country. Let there be any activity in mercantile or manufacturing circles and it is immedi- ately reflected in the Stock Exchange and | the other exchanges where values are de- pendent upon public confidence. On the other hand, causes that influence the outside world harshly have a depress- i ing effectin Wail street, and the prices of | . | | securities and products take a lower turn. These are the results when natural con- ditions are allowed to have effect. Of course, there are times when speculative syndicates get control of financial channels and by their manipulation upset natural conditions and prevent them from haying natural results. It isat such times that panics result. There never has been a panic in Wall street that was not due to the work of men joined in a combination to §ive false effect to natural conditions. ‘Wall street is essentially a place where the law of cause and effect is most marked. It is as impossible for any combination of men to resist these laws as it is for an human being to defy the laws of natudp. You cannot stay the tides or dam the Mi%. sissippi. An expressive but somewhat ir- reverent operator in grain speculations, commenting once on the failure of a pooi to put up the price of wheat and maintain it in the face of a big crop, said: *‘It is no use trying to buck against God Almighty; | he can upset the bullsevery time.” To the | student of affairs there is much more truth expressed in these few terse words of a disappointed speculator than in whole columns of the long sermons and tirades preached against Wall street’s ways and means by ministers who have only a cur- sory idea of the subject they are talking about, and seek only to decry what they they do not understand. Wall street isnot ambler’s paradise. here is no place in the business world ‘where more hard work, closer celculation, keener insiyht into affairs and philosophi- cal and conservative conclusions are re- quired than in the bankers’and brokers’ offices of Wall street. There are no class of men who watch events more closely than the operators in the Wall-street markets. In the stress of war times it was to Wall street that the Government turned for help. It was from Wall street that the assistance | came which made a continuance of the | Government a possibility. Wall street has saved the Nation more than once,and may have to do it again. It has always been | ready to respond to any eall, public or pri- vate, where financial or business problems were to be solved and the financial health of the Nation preserved. It is very true that men have used as gamblers the opportunities afforded by ‘Wall street, but these are not the men who have made it reflective of the business prosperity not only of this but of other countries; nor are they the men who man- age what may groperly be fermed ihe statesmanship of banking. Wall street isa place where surplas money from all over the world flows for investment. Invest- ment in what? In the securities of the corporations which are dependent upon the material development of this country— ]lhe greatest Jand under Godjp geod sun- ight. ‘No, indeed, we cannot do without Wall street, How would our 160,000 miles ot railroads have been constructed without Wall | street? These great pioneers of develop- | ment, prosperity and eivilization would have remained exceedingly limited in their extentand scope if the bonds to | build them had not been negotiated by | Wall-street financiers. Think of the fer- | tile lands that these networks of locomo- | tion have opened to millions from all na- | tions of the globe, and the enormous in- crease of wealth they have thus imparted by the development of our vast National | resources to our own country—if we only | estimate the average value to the country of every adult immigrant at $1000, the low- est economic calculation. | Then, again, look at the army of em- | ployes connected with the railroads them- selves, better paid than thei; could be for the same physical and intellectual ability in any other aepartment of human energy. These employes, including those who work in all the trades that contribute to railroad-building, car-building and rail- road supplies of every description, amount to nearly two millions. hat a power these would be in politics if they should unite for any purpose! Talk of the Knights of Labor and the fear that they once inspired when they did not exceed half a million; they would be small com- pared with an organization of railroad enwlqyes_. While it is unfortunately true, as I have ointed out in my book, ‘‘Twenty-eight ears in Wall Street,”” and in other publi- cations, that disreputable railroad pro- jectors and managers have, especially through the medium of construction com- panies, made use of railroads for the most avaricious purposes; yet in spite of such great abuses, the railroad svstem, propa- gated by Wall-street cugltal, has been chiefly instrumental in the marvelous in- crease of this nation, which has no historic parallel for growth, having, in a century, increased from 3,000,000 to 60,000,000 of in- habitants. Wall ‘street is not only indis- pensable to this country, but foreign na- tions are feeling the necessity of its exist- ence more and more every day. Wall street, and Wall street mainly, is rapidly making New York the financial center of the world. The London Stock Exchange and the Parisand Berlin Bourses would become insufferably dull if the New York Stock Exchsnge were to be closed for a_week or for a day., Hence, the progress of great industries dependent on them would languish accordingly in the same way that railroad, telegraph and other en- terprises would suffer here if dagflud of Wall street, the great financial fountain from which they draw their most invigo- n{mgf tonic. n fact, enterprise evervwhere would be fierued as 1f seized bg a sort of financial }fl rippe.” It would be the very height of folly to think of dispensing with Wall street. Our great financial center is fast IIPPI‘OMhlng the point at which it is des- tined to bgcoma the great clearing-housg of the world's enterprises and industries.

PRINCES AND OTHERS INDULGE. A Popular Fad to Which Many White .People Fall a Willing Viotim for Life. For the last year visitors to Japan have gone wild over having their bodies tattooed by Horo Chio, Grand Tattooer to his High- ness the Emperor and incidentally a minor embellisher to all sortsof peopleat the reg- ular rates. Horo Chio, as witnessed on his native heath by Sands Forman, who was there in May, is a very unusual Jgp, whose talents to draw and perpetuate the same have made him greatly in demand. “When I had beem there a few days,” said Mr. Forman, “I was asked if I had yet encountered Horo Chio, and whether or not I cared to take back a life-long souvenir of my irip to the Orient. I was told that during tke time this gifted Japa- nese had been in the business he had tattooed some of the best-known people in the world. ‘“When the Princes Albert and Edward Horo Chio, and he proceeded to brand them with his art. e did it in such pro- fusion that the guardian who was sent out from England to take charge of the 7% Horo Chio’s Work on the Lefs Arm of a San Franciscan.

Across Albert’s breast was a javelin piercing a heart, and_tke biood was running down the side. Edward had his arms decorated in profugion with a royal coat of arms and his initials on his back. As a sort of finish they had ordered a few birds which were in the act of flying up and down their limbs. Altegether the two boys were plastered up regardless of the feelings that might rise in the bosom of the Queen, and to this very day they are adorned like Bouth Sea islanders. “Longfellow’s son was also anxious to have a few specimens of the work on his body and before he got through he looked like the man who exhibits himself in the dime museums as the only living speci- men man who suffered the tortures of the tattooer’s needle and came out alive! He was literally plastered with the work and Raidalurge sum of money to the artist. Mr. Lnnf:f\sllow at the present day takesa great delight in his personal art gallery and talks of the process of creating the pictures as though he was the only man on earth who was similarly marred. “‘As soon as Horo Chio had embeilished two prinees and the son of a famous poet | his prices went up and to-day he is mak- ing about $8000 a vear.

The City and the Spring Valley Water Company will meet the suit of the prop- erty-owners in the burnt district for dam- ages with a vigorous defense. No papers have been filed yet, but it is well established that the owners of several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of prop- erty are combined in the suit for damages, and it was stated yesterday that the in- surance companies that have had heavy losses to pay by reason of the conflagra- tion had_joined the plaintiffs in the suit. Both sides have been diligently engaged in gathering svidence bearing on the case, a stubborn fight is likely to ensue in the courts. Just what the position of the insurance companies is in the case cannot be ascertained beyond the fact that they stand ‘“pat’” with the plaintiffs. They were heavy losers by the fire and it the rosecution of the damage suit is success- ul they will be reimbursed for much of their loss. The attorneys in charge of tbe case for the fire sufferers have amassed consider- able evidence bearing on the asserted in- adequacy of the water supply, small and corroded pipes, etc., and only a few of the property-owners in the district swept by the flames have declined to join in the suit. The latter class includes those who were well insured. — - THE SAUSALITO AQUATIC SHOW. A Date Is Arranged for the Water Fete. A meeting of the executive committee on the Sausalito water fete was held yesterday afternoon in (General Dickinson's office. J. B. Stetson represented the ferry com- pany, and Mr. Donzele the California Fire- works Company. A rough plan of the form the entertainment should take was briefly mapped out. A line of Chinese lanterns will extend from New Sausalito to a point below the Pacific Yacht Club, and all the houses alonf the water front and upon the hill will be similarly decorated. There will be two full brass bands engaged, one to play on the shore and the otherin a barge, which will accompany the pro- cession of yachts, tugs, launches and small boats. These will be abundantly furnished with rockets and fireworks of every de- scription, and in the train will be two barges, from which big volcanoes will belch forth fire, while the batteries of the yachts will keep up a steady cannonade. At the close of this procession the barges will be moored about 500 yards off shore, and some 300 yards apart, and the nava engagement will begin., From the sup- posed fort on the beach, forty mortars will open on the barges with detonating shells, making the illusion as realistic as possible. The date of the celebration will be in the first week in October, but if the Chinese- lantern problem can be solved this may be changed to the last week in September. It is at present the intention of the com- mittee to telegraph to Hongkong on Mon- | day, and have about 12,000 dozen lanterns shipped in the steamer that departs thence on the 27th of the month. These lanterns will be furnished the citizens at the figures of cost and shipment. e . Loie Fuller has become a Catholic. An Irish priest, Father Matthews, converted YOUR HUSBAND. A Lady Has Some Hints Ahout Him Worth Reading. Why He Looks So Full of Trouble When He Rezlly Ought Not to Worry—You Can “Iron” the Wrinkles Out. Among the cleverest women who have recently, visited this City is a lady who has taken particular interest in the suc- cess of what she calls “home life” in California. By that she means happy married | life. She says frankly that women do not pay enough attention to the little ills which their hus- bands suffer from. “If a man has insomnia,” says this distinguished observer, “or if he has nervous or general debility, lack of appetite or in- digestion, it is plainly evident that his system is not getting the nourishment which it ought to. He needs a thoroughly good tonic and general sustenant, and he DOES NOT NEED a lot of pills or patent medi- cines. His nerves want strength- ening, his blood wants enrich- ing, and generally speaking he wants a system-builder.” “Now,” went on this author- ity, “there is one thing which will accomplish all this for a man, and ONLY ONE that I am aware of. That is DR. HENLEY’S matchless prepara- tion of Celery, Beef and Iron. It is a very prince as a general vitalizer, and if women would forego a new dress or two and insist on their husbands order- ing A CASE of this standard remedy, and taking it regularly, they would actually iron all the wrinkles out of the faces of their ‘better halves, and that troubled look which most men wear would disappear, as it ought to.” The lady talks with vim and vigor, and knows her subject well, : PP NEW TO-DAY.
