be largely owing to the education of the children 

 in practical schools of learning. Lessons in the 

 every-day life of nature are demonstrated to 

 them, as well as in all the arts and sciences that 

 are brought into use in working one's way 

 through the busy marts of life. 



Our manual-training schools are a step in 

 advance, which gives room to hope that these 

 schools will be still further enlarged in all that 

 may better qualify the young to arm themselves 

 to go through life well fitted for all that may 

 come to them on its changeful battle-fields. 



Note 7. 



"In 1899, the earliest spinning of silk-cocoons' 

 was taken to the Chamber of Commerce, March 

 28, by Mrs. Carrie Williams, who there exhibited 

 as fine large and firm cocoons as can be found at 

 any season of the year. These cocoons were 

 spun by worms hatched in February and ma- 

 tured in March, in a temperature varying from 

 44 to 75 F. The worms were from 3-J to 4 

 inches long, and in the most perfect health. 

 The only difference low and uneven temperature 

 seems to make is, that it prolongs the life to 

 about forty days, instead of thirty. Hundreds 

 of other worms, just as fine, will be spinning in a 

 few days, and may be seen by those interested. 

 Also, worms of all ages." San Diego Union.
