Being now ready for market, the C.KJUOIIS are picked from their twig -up; <>rts.cleaned and sold to the merchants who travel about the country to bin them up, paying the peasants, who do not know the inaiket, about half their value and trying to cheat them in the weight. The authorities post notices about Hie c ardry warning peasants to sell only by sealed weights. I did not witness the process-of reeling. The cocoons, I am tobl, are steeped in hot water or boiled in order to kill the worms, as well as to soften the cocoon and free the fibre; this is desirously caught up by a wlii.sk attached to a pully moved by machinery and wound off, each co eoon producing an incalculable nuiii ber of yards. The labor of rinsing the cocoi-n devolves on women, who can attend to it while the men do outdoor work. II A MMOXTON. X.

In this short t line they have built MO miles of road, felled 2506 acres of trees, cleared in a superior manner 1500 acres of lt>d Tected over 100 substantial houses, and as many burns, have raised boun teous crop- and own a goodly num ber of horses, cattle, sheep and swine, i hey have formed a colonial govern ment; t.'.f y have schools and a Chris tian church, and have great respect m l love fl>r their Lutheran pa-tor, Rev.

An 1 this ad !it ion of 1500 working inhabitants 0 tlie population of the state, who lave brought with them over $60,000 n cash, is the result of the Swedish mmigration enterprise. The immigration has not ceased, iceessions are continually arriving it i- the opinic>n of thinking men that it the next census, in ISBO, Maine vill number 5000 Swedish inhabi tants and that a tide of immigration ias be n opened into Maine the val ic of which can lie scarcely over-cs imated.—Buffalo Express--.

But on the other hand, what a wa-te there is of the flavoring properties of peach, almond and laurel leaves, so richly charged with the essence of hitter almonds, -o mm h used in kitchens. Of course -uch leaves must be used with cau tion, but so must the sj irit as well. An infusion of these could readily be mad- cither green or dry and a tea or talde ]>oon of the flavoring liquor used to taste. "One ol the most useful and harm less of all leaves for flavoring is that of the common syrinira. \Vhen cu cumbers are scarce these are a per fect substitute in salads or anything in which that flavor is desired. The taste is not only like '.hat of encum bers, but identical—a curious ii.- -tance of the co-r< L.tiou of flavors in widely different families. Agnin > t! e young leaves of cucumbers have a striking likeness in the way of favor to that of fruit. The same may be affirmed of carrot-tops, which are as iike carrots in taste as may be. In most gardens there is a probigious waste of celery flavor in the sacri fice of the external leaves and their partially blanched foot-staiks. Scores )i sticks of ceien are cul up iuto -ouj> when the outside would flavor it equally well or IK. tier. The young leaves of gooseberries added to bot ileu fruit give a lVe-her flavor and greener color to pies and tarts. The leaves of the flow-eriag currant give a sort of intermediate flavor bet veen rhat of black currants and od. Or uoge, citron and lemon leaves impart i flavor equal to that of t! e fiu.it and riud combined aud some-.. eat differ ent from lxth. A few leaves added to jiics or boiled in the milk used to bake w iih rice, or formed into crusts or past*-, impart an admirable bou quet.
