Mrs. James X. Polk, who is now 81
years ofage, recently s~peakingof the time
when she was lady at the White House,
said that she enjoyed that period of her
life, and looked back upon it after 40
years with pleasure. She is fond Of re-
calling incidents of Mr.. Folks admins
tration and is proud OF his career. She
says she regards the annexation Of Texas
and the results following the Mex
lean war, that is, the requirement of
the CALIFORNIA;, New Mexico and all
those territories so rich in mineral ore,
as some of the most important events
in the history of this country. In fact.
she thought Mr.. Folks administration
was second to none, and she would
not even except the results obtained by
Mr.. Jefferson. She says history is now
proving the advantages gained by these
accessions, all due to Mr.. Folks adj
ministration.

Silk Making in China.

The home manufacture of silk i'm Chins
Is almost universal, and affords remuner-
ative employment to hundreds of thou
sands of women. In many eases the wives
and sisters of poor laberers become the
mainstay of the household. The process
is very simple, and as follows: In mod
erately warm room mating is strewn
with fresh mulberry leaves. Upon these
are placed several hundred silk-worm
eggs. AS fast as the silk worms eat the
leaves fresh ones are supplied, care at the
same time being taken 10 remove all those
mildewed and moldy. The feeding is
done once or twice day, and takes about
fifteen minutes each day. At the end of
about forty days ninety per cent Of the
eggs have become large cocoons. These
I are scalded, slit at the end, and the dead
worm removed. The empty cocoon is
then put on small bamboo stick that ITS
il loosely. The end OF the thread is then
pulled out and attached to "A small piece
of lead, shaped like a top, from whose
upper surface projects a long, thin stem,
terminating in hook. The top Is then
twirled, and the weight aud rotation
serve to pull out the thread and spin IL at
the same time. When two feet are thus
spun the spinner grasps the top, reels tho
spun thread upon the stem and fastens IL
with running moose upon the hook.
The top is again twirled aud 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 reeled upon the stem.
Wien enough thread Is spun and recled
upon the stem the latter is removed and
serves as a bobbin In the subsequent
weaving. Few stem is inserted and
the process re-begun. This Ingenious but
simple method produces thread homo
geneons and perfectly smooth. The latter
Is now cleaned and, If desired, colorcd
according to the pattern TO be made. IL
makes a silk finer than the finest cambric
TO increase its thickness the thread is
uouDlcu, lIcUlcu VI pudui HHi'u, anu th'h
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 pop
ular The entire outfit in China costs
about 81 for the eggs, " 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 intelligent and active woman In
China makes twenty-five cents day
without interfering with her domestic
duties. This is equal to sl.76 In this
country. There would seem to be, there
fore, splendid field in our country, for
This industry.

In brown holland apron she stood in the

Her sleeves were rolled up and her cheeks

Her hair was coiled neatly; and indiscreetly
Stood watching while Nancy was kneadlng

How deftly she pressed it and squeezed and
caressed 1t,
And twisted and turned it, now quick and now

Ah, me, but that madness I've paid for in sad
ness!
Twas my heart she was kneading as well as
the dough.

listen;
The sweet little tyrant said NO, sir ! no

Yet when had vanished on being thus ban
shed,
NY heart staid with Nancy while kneading
the dough.
I'm dreaming, sweet Nancy and see you in
fancy,
Your heart, love, has softened and pitied my
Woe;
And we. dear, are rich in dainty wee kitchen
Where Nancy, my Nancy, stands kneadiug

There are several processes used for
cremation. The Siemen's furnace, which
has been adopted by the advocates Of this
mode Of disposing Of the dead IN Ger
many, England and elsewhere, is prob
ably the best known. The body is placed
ia All obIong brick or ron-cased chamber,
underneath which is a furnace. The air
of the chamber is raised TO a very high
temperature before the body is put 10, and
a stream of heated hydro-carbOn from a
gasometer is then admitted, which on
contact with the intensely heated air
within Immediately bursts into flame.
The chamber is, OF course, so constructed
as neither to admit draughts Of air from
without or to permit the escape or gases
from within. The nOxious gases which
are evolved in the combustion process are
passed through fiue into second fur
mace, where they are entirely consumed.
By this process body weighing IA
pounds can be reduced in about fifty min
utes to not more than four pounds OF lime
dust.

course Of his pastoral career hGwas Invited
ont b. Sunday dinner by one Of the sis

To church that morning. His wife told
him to expect her To bring home company
TO dine, and he, with the aid Of the cook,
laid the foundation for superb repast
Mrs. Smith came home, but all the com
pany she brought was the minister. They
were seated at the table when this sort Of
conversation ensued:
"Mr. Jones'" meaning the minister;
"what part of the chicken do you like
bestp"
"Really, Mr.. Smith, don't care about
any chickeh."
"Well, here Is some extra fine roast
beef; try some Of this"
Excuse me, Mr.. Smith, will forego
the beef"
81 have some tender lamb here-how
will that suitl'
81 never eat lamb"
"Well, now / know you can't refuse
this boiled ham"
"PardOn me, but ham I never touch"
During all this time, Smiths father, an
old gray-haired sinner, had been seated
near him watching operations, and, stand
ing it as long as he could, squenked out
Ia a piping voice:
"John, maybe the--fool will suck an
egg"
The enjoyment of that dinner was
spoiled.
