"Exactly; one that will act with
greater power, and yet no.t bring a

One reason why modern silk wears
so badly is because it is adulterated
with tin. The silk has to be boiled to
col rid of its natural gumminess, and
as this process reduces the weight the
tin is added to restore the balance.
Black silk contains the greatest, pro-
portion of weighting, and the soft tus-
sore and wash silks are unweighted.

Among those who received samples of
the seed was a woman who was un-

one of tlie jokers said lie had met
with success in growing the seed and
would tie pleased to give tlie lady one
of tlie plants lie had raised. The lady
was delighted al the offer, and ex-
pressed her thanks accordingly.
In due time she received a small
plant, supposed to have sprouted from
the seed which she had tried in vain
to propagate. The plain was handled
by bet- very carefully, placed under
glass and treated as a pet.
