silk Culture.

The introduction of the silk-wofm
into the United States OF America, Will
utilize a tree now extensively grCvr
with us. but which has hitherto served
10 purpose but that of shade aud orna,
ment, and food for poultry. 1t will
open up a vast industry. which may be
pursued in the country. IN villages, OF
in the cities either. Every man may
convert his garden into rearing.-yar
for silk-worms, and the unemployed
members of his family may find an
agreeable and profitable occupation.
Every woman can earn an extra sils
dress. Every family can have at hand
an easy and practicable source OF pr 'tt.
The cultivation of silk has hitherto b zen
retarded for want of a market for the
cocoons. But the silk factories in Pater-
son, N. J., and elsewhere, will purchase
all the raw silk they can obtain. Other
establishments are springing up in the
West, in Kansas, in Utah, and the IN
dustry has received incentive from the
efforts in California, that are likely to re.
suit in important social and industrial
conseouences.-ADD Journal.

Curiosities of Language.

equivalent for our humility" The

definition is mot to have enough but

second means to skill over again :" a
third 'to earn by dancing" The Ger
mans call thimble ''inger-hat.

shay horse" A glove with them is
"hand-shoe," showing that they were
shoes before gloves. The French.
strange to say, have no verb ''to stand, >
nor can Frenchman speak of kicking
any one. The nearest approach he, in
his politeness, makes to it. is to threaten
to s'give blow with his foot" the
same thing, probably, to the recipient
in either case, but it seems to want the
directness, the energy, of our ''kick. :
The terms "up-stairs" and downstairs
are also unknown to the French.

VARIETY OF FooD.-The Scientific
american is of the opinion that we re-
quire variety in our food. 1t says ex-
perience has proved that, for some
reason unknown to science, variety is
essential to health after reaching the
age when we are free to choose our food.
The perpetual recurrence of The same
edibles, even though their number be
considerable, becomes in all periods of
life, except infancy, not only wearisome,
but positively injurious. Salt pork,
salt fish and potatoes with pies, poor
bread and Japan tea, are the staples Of
food of thousands of families during
our long winters. 1t should be under
stood how needful a change of diet is
from time to time. Fresh vegetables,
particularly in the country, are readily
obtained and preserved, and shouii be
unsparingly used. The edible roots, as
turnips, carrots, onions and beets, and
cabbages, are as well worth preserving
as the omnipresent potato. All these
vegetables need thorough boiling, and
more than they generally get.

CHAPPED HANDS. - Take common
starch, and grind it with a knife until
it is reduced to the smoothest powder,
put it in clean tin box. so as to have
1t continually at hand for use. Then,
every time that the hands are taken
from the suds or dish-water, rinse them
thoroughly in clear water, wipe them,
and while they are yet damp, rub a
pinch of the starch thoroughly over
them, covering the whole surface. The
effect is magical. The rough, smarting
skin is cooled, soothed and healed,
bringing and insuring the greatest de-
gree OF comfort and freedom from this,
by no means insignificant annoyance.

NICE GRIDDLE CAKEs.-I have lately
learned that good shorts-not the
coarser kinds better for griddle cakes
than fine or even buckwheat flour. /
make them as follows: Six cups rich
acknowledgement milk viii do with
little cream-three teaspoons even full
of soda to neutraiize the sour milk a
little salt, two eggs. Stir into this
enough shorts to make thin batter as
for other griddle cakes, and fry as usual
Rubbing the griddles with dry salt and
wiping off carefully before oiling will
prevent trouble in turning. Corn grid
die cakes and buckwheat cakes are very
nice made in this way, though yeast is
usually preferred for the latter.

A NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR RUBBER. A
Canadian has devised method of pro-
ducing gum from the milkweed plant,
or other plants of the asclepia family,
and fax and other seeds, which consists
in macerating and fermenting the sub
stances, and then, by evaporation, re-
ducing the resulting liquid TO thick
gummy mass. The gum thus obtained
may be chesply produced, and is alleged
TO have many of the valuable qualities
of rubber. 1t is insoluble in water, may
be vulcanized with sulphur, etc.

INEXPENSIVE FRAAIEs.-Take the pic
ture you want to frame, and cut off the
margin till Just the size you want the
whole to be. Now measure ii and get a
glass just thar size. You can buy COM
mon window glass for a few cents, and
any glazier will cut it for you but you
must select clear pane. Next, cut q
piece of pasteboard-the stifTest You
can get-to the same size. On the back
of the pasteboard, a little above the
middle, sew c strong loop, Of braid or
cord, 20 hang it up by.
Now, having washed your glass, lay
it on a table; on that lay your picture,
face down; on the picture place the
pasteboard, with the loop up. Slip a
string under each end OF the whole, and
tie them tight. aDout two inches from
the ends, to hold the parts in place
while you bind them together. Now cut
two strips of either narrow black ribbon,
black paper or gilt paper, an inch wide,
and just the length of one end Of your
picture. Lay this binding, face down.
| on the table, and cover the back with
stiff glue, Turn the picture face up,
and lay the glued binding across one end
Of the glass, letting it reach over the
glass about one-:hird of its width. Hav-
ing pressed il carefully to the glass,
turn the picture on its edge and press
the binding ON to the edge OF the glass
and pasteboard, and then over on to the
back. Hold it till it sticks, and then
do the same for the bottom of the pic
ture. When these are stiff enough to
hold, take OFF the two strings, and finish
the sides in the same way. Be sure to
have the binding long enough to go
over the ends, and while wet cut off the
extra snd press down the edges. When
the whole is dry, hang it mp by the loop.
