It was a simple matter which he could set right in a few ten tences of then awn language, but be feared that in English Wcbgld natdo so well; yet he hoped that they would not see a fallow citizen grantetadacgaly for the reason that his advocate was not allowed to address a Spanish jury in their own tongue.

More over, traces of it are to be found In southern Persia and other parts of the eastern world.

HOW POMP WAS CONVERTED Rafay Stmilay at Churek, Where H* Was th* Only Sinner. Dr. Payson, the famous and beloved •freacher of Portland, Me., used to tell the following pointed story: I* One very stormy Sunday he went to I church, more from habit than because he expected to find anybody there. Just after he had stepped inside the door an old negro came in and asked if Dr. Payson Was to preach there that day, explaining that lie was a stranger in town and had been advised to go to his church. “Upon that,” said Dr, Payson, “I mada up my mind to preach my sermon if nobody elteoane.” Nobody else did came, so the doctor preached to the choir and the old negro. Some months afterward he happened to meet the negro, and stopping him asked how he enjoyed the sermon that stormy Sunday. “Enjoy dat sermon?” replied the old man, “I ’oiar, doctor, I nebber heard a better one. You see, I had a seat pretty well-up front, an wheneifoer you’d soy Somethin DA jeae look all roun, ter see nobody on’y jess me.

That silk may be produced from certain mussels or shells is a fact long known, but only recently renewed attention was called to the matter by the receipt at the Thai tn Boyal museum of • pair of golden brown silk gloves made of byssussilk. This silk Is obtained from the small silky tufts protruding from the byssus shcjl, which they use for holding fast to the ground or rock under water. This, fiber is silky, and changes In color from green ish yellow to dark brown. The single threads are from two to three inches long, and after being olsaned and dried they are yniTi, * Byssus silk woven Into material Is still a great ourloslty, for the supply of ma terial Is so scarce that industrial develop ment of the manufacture is out of the question. Only in oertain small settle ments on the coast of Sicily there Is some effort to work with this material, the shell used being the so called Pinna. I Fishermen tear the shells with nets from the rocks, and, after cutting the tufts, re turn them to basins of shallow water. The tuft will grow again within a year.
