The Life of u Silk-worm
I happened to b: here during the
: cocoon o; -ilk harvest. It is the
• great industry of the count rv. is con
stantly men fi-ing mid i.- the most
profitable of crops. There is
-■ int- n-!; al-.-ut it, owing to maladies
; • i frost, but iii the main i: pays
">vi 11. Kvery peasant raise cocoons
in ; rger or smaller quantities.
Some <;! the details oi' the culture
may interest the reader.
i he -ie i or germ of the silk worm
is importe 1 from Japan. Trench
has :tl out run oui, coving prob
ably to inter-breeding, or which i
most likely, to overfeeding in ordtr
to obtain a quantity of fibre. The
Japan seed come- on pa-U-board
cards, dottc 1 ov.-r tac surface and i
gi iurinated by artitieial heat; large
proprietors who have capital provide
-likable rooms foi t;,is j urj ose; the
pea-aut employ . among other re
-ou: ees. tue warm* i <1 liis bi d.
A hen the w orin show- 1i lb it is trans
terred to a clean card and fed with
line pieces of mull erry le if until k is
large ciiougii to consume v hoi
leaves; it is thill placed on .shelve
n ;do\e another, as large a- the
apartment will allow, leaving space
to walk between tiam, and the*'
const:.nily-rpplicd with iVe-li leaves.
Here the worm feeds voraciously for
a certain number of days, until, al
..••ining it- growth, it i- ready t<
f nn it- c!ii\sailis habitation. To
enable it to do tLi- twig- are placed
upright in row- slightly arched at
the top, into w hied the worm crawls
nd 11 gin- to spin. The noise made
by the busy poj illation of one oi
titese catacomb* can be heard some
listance out-i<ie the budding in
which they axe boused. The coeoon
is know n to be finished when the ear
a] plied to it can no longer detect a
sound within. 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.

Japanese Scenery.
A traveler in Japan writes: Al-
Imugii the country scenes in Japan

yet then are many things which yon
niss in the landscape. You do not

irst came t<> Japan I never heard a

neat creature- and they are so num
erous and so bold that tbev come
•ight across your path, and they
nake the day hideous with their per
ictual cawing. The flowers are few
md far between, and eveu then are
oo email to be noticed, and they
lave no perfume whatever. Meadow s
ire entirely unknown in the country
nd every nook and corner of av:.il
dil<- land is either banked off into a
ice field or else cut up into little
regetsble patches. The general size
fa field iii Japan, whether for rice,
;rain or other vegetable, is about the
(intension of an ordinary 'house lot'
it home. Each farmer has his own
ittle field or set of fields; he attends
:o these exclusively, doing all the
work with a queer-shaped iniple
raent, which is half hoc and half
hovel. In this part of the country

Tin. Swedes in Maine.
A writer in the Boston Journal
jives Bom< facts in regard to the Swe
li.-h colony in Maine*. Tlte colony
was established in 1870 b\ 50 Swedes
ind there are now 650. 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. Andrew Wircn, who. in turn,
bss tin greatest zeal in his good work
>n the frontier. Only last week, when
he Clerk of Courts visited New Swe
len, IMM Swedes came forward and
took the first step towards naturali
sation by n gistering their intentions.
All State aid to the colony has
tow ceased and it is the Board of Im
migration, the Commissioner, t he eol
inisis and of the citizen- that the col
ony will advance and increase with
>ut the assistance of another dollar
Torn the State Treasury.
Be-idc> the t.'/0 Swedes in v
Sweden, there are 850 Swedes in oth
r portions of Maine. 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

Leaves and their T'oes.
A correspondent of ik_> London,
Eng., Garden, in w Ctiug c : ! .be use
of the more or less com: idents
for garni-hing, ex press a arprise
that the natural and imj condi
ments should be utilised to so small
an cxti nt a- they arc :
" Vv ithrlhe exception of the sweet
and bitt.-r herbs grown chit ily for the
purpose and parsley, which is neither
hitter nor sweet, but the most popu
lar of all flavoring plants, com pa ra
' i •' iy ft v. other leaves a.e used*—
iVrhap/s I ought also to except the
-wtct bay, which is ] opnlar in rice
nd other j uddings and certainly im
part s one of the mot pleasant and
exquisite flavor-. 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. In short, leaves are not half
so much used for seasoning as they
might be.''
