THE DYING OHILD's LOVE.

A little G-years-old girl died the other
day in New York, and reporter talked
with neighbor of the child's parents.
"You see, sir, she was delicate little
thing, and very lame. She was never
out much, and so her parents did every
thing to make it pleasant for her in
doors. She had all sorts of playthings,
and numerous pets, but she finally set
her affections on little dog-a mongrel
a curly-haired little cur who barked
at every body, but never bit. She play
ed constantly with the little fellow who
seemed to have human affection for
her One day the dog ran barking
along the street when some unthinking
fellow picked up stone and killed him.
Dot-that was the child's nickname
knew nothing of it, and her parents
could not bear to tell her AS the days
went by Dot cried for her dog, Tip, and
at last her father made up little lie,
telling her that Tip was sick and taken
into the country, where he would be
cured. This satisfied Dot for q little
while, and her father searched the city
for a cur that looked like Tip, and
could find none. You see, sir, he pro-
missed Dot to bring Tip home on Thanks
giving Day, but he couldn't find dog
that looked like the dead one. Dot was
growing thinner and thinner every day
and refused to play with her cat or to
touch her toys and she sat at the window
more than half the time watching and
sometimes calling for Tip to come back.
A week or two ago the doctor told us
Dot must die and the little thing seem
ed to know it, too, for she begged that
Tip might be brought back to her, il
only for q few minutes. Well, they
didn't have the heart to tell her that
the dog was dead and so she made her
mother promise to carry Tip to her
funeral, and whenever she came to visit
the grave that she should bring Tip, too.
BY George, it was pretty hard to hear
Dot talk about that dog, sir, and since
that death scene l would't speak cross
to the mangiest cur living"

BINDING OF BOOKS.

The bookbinders' craft was at its
zenith Just before the invention of print
ing it has waned since, because nobody
would care nowadays to give such prices
as were cheerfully paid for books in the
days when it took twenty-five months of
a patient scribe's work to produce one
copy of the Bible. The bindings of such
costly books were works of art. Milan
first, we are told, acquired reputation
for its binding Of Spanish leather, ara
besqued and gilt, which superseded the
old-fashioned bindings of WOOD. metal,
or ivory; but until the close of the
fifteenth century the bindings of presen-
tation volumes and of the church books
used on the high affairs Of cathedrals
were mostly of solid gold or silver.
Bruges produced some beautiful works
of this description, likewise bindings in
cloth of gold wrought with silk of many
colors. At Ypres, the great cloth mart
of North Europe, We're first made
plain bindings of cloth, embroidered
more or less but these were used only
for small volumes of jests and ballads,
and for the horn-books, out of which the
children in noble families learned their
letters. Venice had name for its bind
ing in ivory and woods ~ the East ;
Florence, like Client Flanders,
abounded in brass artifcets, and pro-
duced brazen bindings gilt or silvered,
each one the work of master craftsman,
for none ventured to make book-coyers
who were not skilled with their tools ;
but the most gorgeous bindings Of all
that were mad before the invention of
printing came from Rome. Here the
guild of italian goldsmiths had its chief
h Il and there was always a sure sale
for rich bindings of wrought gold, see-
ing that the kings and potentates who
came to visit the Papal See invariably
gave and received presents of splendid
books.

BLONDE SIRENS,

The worst feminine qualities are
almost invariably allied to the blonde
style, not the green or gray-eyed blonde,
with straight, abundant hair and fresh
coloring, but the sallow or pallid being,
with light blue eyes and linn or waving
harlan innocent-looking creature, with
feline manners, pate de velours, and
such claws These are the women who
delude and destroy men who never for
give an injury or forget slight who
smile and talk sweetly, and put on airs
ofmeek piety or high art and refinement,
butunder allare scheming, unprincipled,
false to the core. Did not Lucretia
Borgia have golden hair? Was not
Lady Macbeth a Scottish woman, pre-
sumably with lint-white locks? Two of
the worst and most brilliant women [
ever knew had this style Of complexion,
and the lovely being whose picture was
my childish alteration, who sat shipper
ing over the library shelf in dear old
Uncle WIS house, robed in satin and
sables, her gold hair curling like a
child's, her sapphire eyes as inscrutable
as deep spring, her rosebud lips soft
and fresh as baby's, and her taper
white fingers crossed in her lap, was a
yirago, drunkard, q woman without a
symptom of principle-the mystery
and the curse of the old and honorable
family she married into. Black-haired
and dark-eyed women are quick-temper-
ed, electric, generous, jealous probably,
but full of relenting, and capable of
being coaxed into or out of anything.
Weak as to their affections, snappy as to
their temper warm of heart and hot OF
head, they are never very bad or very
good, and are the delightful torment of
every man who loves them and whom
they do not love too much; but love
makes slaves and fools of them, and
they are ridiculously constant, 1t is the
clear gray eye, the thick, soft hair of
| haxen or brown tint, the bloom of tea
rose on delicate skin, that inscribe the
certificate of womanly perfection" a
sweet assurance given in looks" that
here is the real and ideal wife and
mother. Atlantic.

SuPERsTITIOEs.

Il should think his ears would burn,
is n common remark when q person is
made the subject of a continued CONVEX
sation, and $50 many stitches you take
upon you, SO many lies viii be told
about you" is as frequently quoted when
a rent is hastily sewn up without chang
ing the torn garment.
In nearly every land the moon is the
subject of numerous superstitions. She
regulates the changes of the weather.
phases must be consulted in soap-mak-
ing, in killing meat, in planting, in doz-
ems of the common pursuits Of life, and
to see the new moon through trees over
the left shoulder, with no money in the
pocket, is thought to be terribly I'M
lucky.
Should q coal pop out from wood
fire and burn q lady's dress, the event
foretells a sutton for her heart and hand,
and if two spoons come together in the
sugar dish, wedding in the family is to
be expected with equal certainty.
"Sing before. breakfast you'll cry be-
fore SUPPER" and BLESSED be the bride
the sun shines on" have passed into
familiar adages.
Swallows building in a chimney bring
good luck to the house, but not to the
jewellers therein if the birds be molest-
ed.
Killing cat by many is considered a
dire misfortune, and he who does it is
doomed through life to failure in every
thing he undertakes,
If a strange cat adopts a house Yolun-
tarily as her home she is believed to
bring good luck to the household.
Numbers of intelligent people keep Il
pocket-piece of gold or silver for good
luck" "The devil dances in an empty
pocket"
And others, generally old people,
would not for much leave q horseshoe
found lying in the road without picking
it up. An cid horseshoe brings good
luck, doubly so if found by the owner.
Horace Greeley kept always rusty horse
shoe over the door of his sanctum, and
the more or less decorated horseshoe
which plays such part in modern or
namentation is sim ply the revival of an
old superstition.

CATS

The varieties Of the cat are very num-
erous, il is either entirely black Cblack
and white black, fulyous and white
lcaled tortoise-shell or Spanish cat)
entirely white; fulvous and white dim
color or doEnv, either plain OF striped
tabby, boldly striped; slate-colored OF
blue-grRy called the Chartreux cat)
with very long fur, especially on the
neck and tail lthe Persian cat) long
hair of silyery whiteness and silky tex
ture called the Angora cat and lastly,
with penciled or tufted ears, like q
lynx, which sometimes, though rarely,
takes place. OF all the above varieties,
the Persian, the Angora and gray Malta
varieties are the most remarkable. The
Isle of Man produces the tailless cat, q
very curious variety. When these are
crossed with an ordinary tailed cat, tho
progeny exhibits the intermediate stages
between tail aud no tail. From long
local usage the word "tabby" is applied
Unfortunately to almost all varieties

SILK RAISING.

An immense quantity of silk is raised
in the world, China being the first coun-
try in which it was produced. It's cult
vatiOn was begun there, according to
the best authoi lies, 2,GOO wears b. c.,
but was not fully begun in Europe until
the sixth century Since then il has
been an active industry in Turkey,
Greece and Italy, and a modemte one IN
France, Spain aud Portugal, as we'll as
in the United States. Britain imports
annually about 100000 pounds, of
the value of S3O,OC0,OOO, unmanufac-
tured, and Of manufactured some $780,
900, 600 worth, or nearly 100000 in
all. The importation into this country
is also very large, says New York
paper. Twenty Years ago it was not far
from s35, 900, 900, and it must be close
upon SGO,00O,00O now, perhaps more.
Many of our States, especially Ohio, the
eastern parts of Kentucky, Tennessee,
and Northern Georgia, are very well
adapted by soil and climate to the pro-
duction of silk. Several species of null
berry, quite as good for feeding the
worms IN their early growth as the white
mulberry, are found wild from Pennsyl-
yania southwark, and are readily raised
in other sections. The foreign null
berry has been much introduced, and is
now as well known nearly as the
native kind Our silk product is uni
versally acknowledged to be supe.i.r in
quality to that of Europe, and equal to
that Of China. Our Southern climate is
particularly favorable to the rearing Of
the worms, which, as they can be more
generally fed in the open air than in
Europe, are much healthier. While
one-half of them are unpIoductiye from
disease in the old world, the proper
ton here is only one-fourth. The bust
ness was very seriously hurt by the OK
tTaordiuary speculative mania which
broke out in 1880 and ragged for several
years In 1874 the total product of silk
cultivated in the republic was 1885, 90
pounds, worth 81, 400, 900, and in 1S50it
was only l4,76S pounds. Of late silk
cultivation has grown materially within
our borders; and there is no reason why
it should not become very important
industry,i in the South. Some persons
have propheSied that, within q quarter
Of century, If proper attention be paid
to it, it will reach &25, 100000 to $685.
100000 annually. Thus far it has not
received, ,unAesg'in California, any proper
degree of care, and when it does re-
ceive such theIe would seem to be no
rational doubt of Its prosperity. Many
of the experiments in the North have
been unsatisfactory, and have discour-
aged efforts in the South, where climate
and ell conditions are suspicious. Our
manufactured silks are excellent in
many respects, and when we expend SO
very much for silk--all our women dress
in tive ought to raise o considerable
part of it on our own soil.

ADULTBRATION OF FOOD,

Glucose is manufactured by grinding
corn and by treating tho starch contain
ed with sulphuric acid. The manufac-
turers claim that subsequent boiling
and fltering through marble dust re-
moves all traces of the acid and purifes
the article. The product is finally run
through bone black, and then boiled in
vacuum pans to the consistency desired.
1t goes to market either as thin syrup,
thick syrup, or as a solid with the con-
sistency of sugar. 1t is white and in
sipid. The total cost of manufacture,
including taxes, insurance, and cost of
transportation, was stated by an expert
to be twenty-five cents per bushel of
corn, the product Of which was about
thirty pounds of glucose, worth about
four cents pound, Besides this a
bushel of corn produced nearly bushel
of refuse, which brought about six cents
as O food for stock. The profits have
been enormous, being estimated as high
as $1,000,000 per annum on a capital of
100000.

EATING IN WINTER,

Food should be nutritious and especi-
ally easy of digestion in the winter. It
is not convenient to have the blood en-
gagged in the stomach digesting some
tough meal when it ought to be coursing
briskly through the vessels, distributing
a finished repast. For the same physical
reason it is not desirable to take every
thing warm. When the stomach is very
turgid with blood either drawn thither
by insoluble or irritating food or by
warm solids or fluids, it is taken away
from other parts of the body, and the
general circu alton is weakened. Alco-
holic drinks do not contribute much to
the sum of permanent heat. They warm
for moment, but depre afterward. It
is therefore well to use them only for
temporary purposes, and at times when
their use will be Immediately followed
by conditions favorable to the relief of
the over-worked system. For example,
it is better to take dram when coming
in from the cold chilled than when going
out, or when going to bed than when
getting up in the morning. BY starting
the machinery of heat-production with a
stimulant at time when it is commenc.
ing heavy work, you increase the danger
of it's running down rapidly, as soon as
the first effect of the stimulant is past,
before til task has been completed.
