TUE SILK WoRM-A beautiful variety of
habitation IS the cocoon, the familiar and val
liable abode of the silk worm. Ia some
cases, the cocoons are constructed partly of
silk and partly OF papier Hsnche. aud are Often
highly vanished. The cocoon of the silk
worm IS generally formed of a single contir-
uous thread wound in a zig-zag direction.
from whence it often happens that cocoon
can be entirely wound unbroken. What
vast interests are concerned in the labors of
humble caterpillar For how large por-
ton of wealth. luxury, comfort, or even ex-
istence, are our race indebted to those
Millions of spinning worms.
That ia their green shops weave the smooth
hard silk -
In the year 1910, the average importation
Of silk into Great Britain eQuaIled 9gq. 971
lbs, or, in round numbers, 5000, 600 lbs
An interesting calculation has been made,
which shows the enormous number Of silk
worm caterpillars which must bury them
selves TO meet the demand Of that kingdoms
alone upon their manufacture. Each cocoon,
on the average, weighs about ) or ! /
grains, and in length will probably contain
800 yards OF silk. Now. to produce the
yearly sum above mentioned, it will be found
we require about $4,000, coo, 900 worms,
which will consume IN its production about
10000 900 lbs. of leaves, grown upon about
Q 500, 600 trees.

PUsH.-keep pushing; if you run against
a snow-bank or a rail-fence, don't 90 back,
but push forward, or to one side, and go on.
It Is of no use to cry and lament; it Will not
help the matter in the least. Tears never
leaped stream or dug through a mountain.
Push ever, and keep pushing. and your for
tune is half made, and your immortality Sc
cured

RATING OF LETTER PosTAGE.-The Post-ofiice
Department in some instructions addressed 10 the
Postmaster at Wheeling, has defined strictly the
rule for charging postage upon letters, which has
been differently construed in some of the Offices
1t says: " The law adopts a rule for this country
uniform with the that prevails in Great Britain
and Germany, to wit: To count the half ounce in
rating POSTAGE that is, when the letter does not ex
ceed the weight of half an ounce. When the let.
ter exceeds the weight Of half an ounce, it is re-
quired to be rated by the ounce. For instance. if
weighing less than an ounce, but more than half
an ounce, it is to he charged with two rates of
postage if weighing over an ounce, but less than
two ounces, with four rates POSTAGE no matter how
little the excess it is to be charged as if it weighed
two ounces if over two ounces, but less than three
six rates of postage, and so on. This law is gene
raj, embracing inland as we'll as foreign letters.9

A VERY DANGEROUS COUNTERPART. - The
Philadelphia Bulletin, of ths 9th ult., says " We
were shown this morning a counterfeit half eagle,
so sultully made as to render it necessary for all
TO be on their guard Il was taken at one of our
banks, where it escaped detection, and was paid
out. Subsequently it was received at the custom
house, and was only detected bv its trial upon the
delicate scales in use there The coin is on the
surface Of pure gold, and the impressions are in
every respect perfect limitations of the genuine.
Upon breaking il open, however, it was ascer-
ntle9 tnat the gold was only about the thickness
OF ordinary writing paper, the inner part being OF
zinc, lead, or some other base metal. The differ
ence in the weight of this and the genuine half
eagle is scarcely apprecable upon ordinary scales,
ana the external appearance is 80 exactly like
those issued from the Mint TO prevent the detec.
ton Of the counterfeit by an ocular examination.

meet them on the nineteenth of October for a con.

sincerity of the Indians, and declares the belief
that they only seek delays; that they will never
give up the murderers, but in the last extremity
and that they have no idea of removing.
