own" To write for children without 'childish-
ness" is rare gift. Miss Larcom possesses it
to perfection, and the secret of her success lies
in the fact expressed in the last line we have
quoted from her above. She says:
bring you these little song blossoms.
They grew In my working field: =
NO wonderful beauty or splendor
Can trodden foot-path yield.
But the breezes of childish laughter
And the light In a babv's eye,
To the homllent road bring freshness
As free as the blue In the sky 2
And for one would much rather,
Be the poet of II tile children
Than the laureate OF King.
1.-THE STORY OF TOM boy
Mr.. Geo M. Baker, the author OF a whole lib
rary of juvenile dramatic, dialogue, and recita
tive volumes, all of which have attained rare
degree of success, has just made his appearance
as novelist, his book, published by Lee 4 Shep-
ard, OF Boston, being entitled "Running to
Waste. The Story of Tomboy.r The subtitle
gives the clue to its character, and the principal
figure in it, Becky Sleeper, fully supports her
right to the name. She appears as a saucy child
of remarkable natural ability and energy, who af-
ter running to waste as 'tomboy," is taken
in hand by new influences and transformed into
something better The story is well told, the
characters are well drawn, and there is dash
and spirit about the whole story that cannot fail
to make it very captivating for young not child
ish--readers. We receive it direct from the pub
fishers, but our booksellers have it,

SILK Culture In California.

Silk culture in California seems to he consid-
cred failure. The idea prevails that our eli
mate is in fault. Mulberry trees thrive, but
silk-wormH perish before maturing the cocoons.
1t il true that the occasional hot spell of sum-
mer have injured the worms in the great valleys
OF California, 1t is also true that Two or three
persons have escaped the fatality simply bv care
full housing and regulation OF temperature. 1t
IL fair to say that all would have succeeded by
like means. In the foot-hill country all do sue
ceed Not worm il lost by extreme heat nor
by the reduction OF temperature at night. II
Hhonld be understood that in this climate there
are no severe spells, as in Europe, to destroy the
worms or make imperfect cocoons. There il a
market for the eggs, but till lately there has
been no sales for cocoons. The silk factory in
San Francisco buys only reeed silk, and the
grower has not learned to spin of the silk from
the cocoons. Now, however, the factories at
