Boston letter.


Much interest has been aroused in antiquarian
circles by the deciphering of the Danish inscrip-
ton on heavy brazen bell, which until recently
had been on Castle island, where Fort hide
pendence stands ever since the memory of peo-
pie now living. Its quaint appearance and mys-
FERROUS inscription led Major c. W. Raymond of
the United States Corps of Engineers, who has
charge of the Notifications of the harbor, to
bring it to his Office in this city. The Danish
consul, who has examined the inscription, finds
that it reads when interpreted, Belonging to
the Patriot" thus leading to the conclusion that
it was attached to vessel of that name which
entered the harbor years ago. The characters
composing the inscriptions are such as have long
since ceased to be used by the Danes, and there
is little doubt that they go back to a period of
two centuries or more ago.
The bell is of antique shape. Its ponderous
mass is with difficulty lifted by an average man,
and the letters of inscription stand out in bold
and graceful relief from the furnished metal,
which bears the scars of many years of exposure
to the weather Some are of the opinion that
this discovery verifes the theory that the
NoTsemen found their way into Boston harbor.
The bell certainly antedates the war OF indie
pendence,

sILK-MAKING IN CHINA.
Interesting Description of Profitable In
dustry.

Wong Chin Foo, in Chicago News.
The home manufacture of silk in China is
almost universal and affords remunerative EN-
ployment to hundreds of thousands of women.
In many cases the wives and sisters of poor
laborers become the mainstay of the household.
| The process is very simple, and as follows In a
moderately warm room a mating is strewn
with fresh mulberry leaves Upon these are
placed several silkworm eggs. AS fast rs the
silkworms eat the leaves fresh ones are sup
piled, care at the same time being
taken to remove all those widowed and
moldy. The feeding is done once or twice a
day, and takes about fifteen minutes each
day. At the end of about forty days 80 per
cent. of the eggs have become large cocoons.
These are scalded, slit at the end and the dead
worm removed, The empty cocoon is then put
on small bamboo stick that fits it loosely.
The end of the thread is then pulled out and at
tached to small piece of lead shaped like
top, from whose upper surface projects long,
thin stem, terminating in a hook. The top is
then twirled and the weight and rotation serve
to pull out the thread and spin it at the same
time. When two feet are thus spun, the
spinner grasps the top, reels the spun
thread upon the stem, and fastens it
with running moose upon the hook. The
top is again twirled and another two or three
feet extracted and spun. Again the top Is
grasped, the moose united by pulling the thread
from beneath the hook, and the second spin
ming reeled upon the stem. When enough
thread is spun and reeed upon the stem the
latter is removed and serves as a bobbin in
the subsequent weaving A new stem is
inserted and the process rebegun. This ingeni
Gus but simple method produces a thread
homogeneous and perfectly smooth. The latter
is now cleaned and, if desired, colored accord
ing to the pattern to be made. 1t makes
silk finer than the finest cambria. To increase
its thickness the thread is doubled, trebled,
or quadruped, and then respun. The
loom varies according to the wealth of the
weaver. The common type is simple affair,
similar to the rag carpet looms of New England.
These, in skillful hands, turn out superior kind
of dress goods More complicated looms are at
times employed, but are not popular. The en-
tire outfit in China costs about 81 for the eggs,
So for the loom, and ten cents for the top and
stems The leaves are gathered by the children
and the labor is supplied by the women of the
household. Silk in China varies from fifteen
cents to 81 yard. Upon this basis an intell-
gent and active woman in China makes twenty
five cents day without interfering with her do
nestle duties. This is equal to $L75 in this
country There would seem TO be, therefore,
splendid field in our country for this industry.

Mants q Judicial Separation.

LONDON, Nov 10.-A great sensation is caused
by the rumor that the Earl of Durham, great
landowner, an incipient politician and the
bearer of an illustrous name, is about to bring
an action for judicial separation from his wife.
She is very beautiful, and it is as only the other
day when all the town was talking about the
generosity of the bridegroom in making her a
present of ESQ 000 worth of iewelry in addition
TO the heirlooms in the family. The cause as
signed is the discovery that the unhappy lady is
unsound mentally, and opinions differ as to the
rights and wrongs of the business. Some per
sons blame the husband; others declare that he
was deceived by his wife's relatives.
