To Produce Raw Silk.
Tlie Chamber of Commerce of San
Diego, California, is making an effort
to establish the production of raw silk
iu the agricultural districts about that
elty. Steps have been taken to secure
a large number of silk worms, and

planted. The climate of Southern
California is doomed even preferable
for this Industry to that of France,
the home of silk culture. The consumption
of raw silk in this country
Is enormous, and the entire supply
comes from foreigu countries, principally
from Jaiwin, China and Italy. In
1800 the total imports of this raw material
were valued at $43,e4G,S72.
Guatemala's Bird of Freedom.
"The quetzal, Guatemala's bird of
freedom," said Colonel T. G. Stuart, of
Kentucky, who has recently returned
from Mexico, "can beat the American
eagle hands down on the score of plumage.
It Is indeed a most gorgeous bird,
with a neck glittering In iridescent
splendor and a brilliant tive-pronged
tall that makes the rainbow hunt a
dark corner.
"Its head is like that of a parrot,
with a powerful and peculiar shaped
bill and its cry is likened to the word
libertad. which means liberty. The
quetzal adorns the coins, eoat-of-arms
and other Guatemala insignia, and the
bird is held in the greatest esteem by
all Guatemalans, and to kill or capture
it Is akin to treason. One day 1 was
talking to my friend, Slgnor Villejas
about the quetzal aud some of the tra
ditions concerning it, anil asked mm
If it were really the natioual law of
Guatemala that the bird could uot be
captured.
"'Si, signor, si." he replied. 'It is
not only ze national luw of Guatemala,
but it is ze national law of ze quetzals
?of ze birds zemselves; zey will noi

dike Winter? lHd Not Survive.
Henry Weywich, of Los Anjreles,
ral., starved to aeatn wane wintering
near McPherson Lake on tlie Yessezee
IUver, Alaska. His partner, Al Doinlny,
also of Los Angeles, was only
saved from a similar fate by shooting
a moose. He lived upon the meat until
he reached a relief station.
The story of Weywich's death is recorded
in a little Spanish-American
Bible, in which he kept a diary, as his
notepaper ran out. Weywich and
Domlny were members of the "Sunny
South" party which left for the Klondike
in 1808. They took the Edmonton
trail, and before winter set In all
save Wevwich and Domiuy turned
back to civilization. Dominy and Weywieh
struggled on and succeeded in
reaching McPherson Lake, where they
built a cabin and prepared to spend
the winter. The men's provisions were
short, but they thought they would
kill enough game to keep them going.
No game appeared, though, and by
January they were on short rations.
The rest is best told in entries in the
diary:
"January G?Too weak to go hunting;
cooked a spoonful of rice, one of flour
and one of vegetables. Al gave the
leg of a squirrel."
At this time the men were living on
two meals a day. Both meals consisted
of a thin watery soup, as in
that way they could get all the strength
out of their slender stock of provisions.
"January 8?Am eating the buds of
willows. We had a little white weazel
to-day; we are getting weaker and
thinner every day.
"January D?Am starving to death.
We had one spoonful of rice, one of
evaporated vegetables and one of flour.
It is cold and the thermometer is down
to foily below. How dreary everything
looks.
"January 11?Flour is all gone; no
sign of game. It is still snowing. We
are living on one spoonful of vegetables
and the tips of willows."
For five days after the entry of'jnnuary
11, Weywich only signed his
name and put down the date. He was
evidently too weak to write. The unfortunate
man died on January 18.
They had had nothing to eat for a few
days previous. Practically they had
had nothing for weeks. Dominy and
Weywich sang hymns and familiar
tunes all the morning. The dying man
gradually relapsed into unconsciousness.
and at 2 o'clock died. His part
nor buried tne Douy n iew rous away.
Dominy managed to shoot a moose, the
first one they had seen, the same day
that Weytvioh died.
The last words that Weywlch wrote
In the Bible Vere penned across the
following: "And behold I go In spirit
into Jerusalem, not knowing the things
that shall befall me there."
The Doctor'* Prescription.
"When I wont abroad this spring."
said the young man who was being
dined because he had jufct come home
from the Exposition, "I was so ill that
iny ulother said I could not go without
our doctor.
"On the way across, somehow, all
my illness get blown overboard and
I felt as if I had left myself in New
York City and was a new man I'd
have to get acquainted with. But all
the time tuere was xue uocior iu uui
party. He was having a good time
and taking his own medicines; every
once in awhile he would take a pill
from one waistcoat pocket and take
it, then after a meal he would draw
a powder from another pocket and ,
wash that down.
' The day we reached Amsterdam,
however, like a flash 1 found my old
self I had left in New York City. I
felt ill and couldn't breathe. I went
to the doctor in haste.
" 'Doctor/ I said 'I feel queerly; 1
can't get a long breath, all I can do.'
" 'Then take two short ones/ said
lie. and I laughed and got better right
there.
"And that was the only time my
physician prescribed for me from dock

Ingenious AVork of ? Versatile Convict,
One of the most ingenious attempts
at escape ever known Las just been
nipped lu the bud by Warden Dovre, of
the Utah State Penitentiary. The convict
who tried the plan is Clarence L.
Maxwell, bank robber, horse thief, author
and inventor, who Is serving an
eighteen-year sentence for the robbery
of the Springfield Bank in 1SJ>8.
Maxwell took a piece of pipe an inch
in diameter and eight inches long from
the foot railing of his iron bed, bent
the end to form a handle, filled tlds
with lead. Then he rimmed out the
barrel of the improvised pistol until it
was smooth, and drilled a touch-hole in
the top. This is as far as he got when
the weapon was discovered. He had
planued a spring which would serve as
a hammer and strike the head of a
mntnli thn? ovnlndinfr the WC.mon.
How he accomplished all this is a
mystery.
His powder was in the heads of parlor
matches ground tine, and his bullets
pieces of lead andiron. 'Hie guards
tested some of the powder :n a rifle
and found it effective. It is supposed
lie intended to escape when he was
being taken into court next month to
testify in a case.?Denver Republican.

in order to regale his masons with the

read the Old Testament carefully you
will bo sure to come across the announcement
that in Egypt the children
of Israel ate melons, beets, onions
and garlic, and evidently. In travelling
through the wilderness, Moses
had a great deal of difficulty in persuading
them to cease yearning after
these Egyptian dainties.
