This has been bountiful year for
our farmers. The prices of VIII eat
have enabled them to pay off many of
their debts and fix them comfortably
for the winter. They should be truly
thankful for this, and while they are
satisfying claims and making proNl-
sions for the winter, they should not
forget their county paper. We offer
| liberal terms to all who wish TO read
the HERALD. And our subscribers
who are in arrears we would ask
to consider our needs. 1t takes
cash each week to run Il newspaper.
and our bills must be paid or our
supplies viii stop. We have been
very lenient with our subscribers and
lot pushed the collection in hard times.
We have waited a long while Come
now and help us.

BUTTERFLY FISH LINES.

How Ingenious Chinese Make
Them "A Process Requiring Pa
thence.
The boys of China, as we'll as the boys
in America, have their favorite sports
and pastimes. The fishing lines used
in this country are of Irvine, but in
China they are the product of the moth.
Adele M. Field, of Swallow, China,
writes as follows to Criss Cross:
In some of the Chinese shops they are
sold for about cent each, little coils of
translucent, yellowish thread, from five
to ten feet long. When old and dry
they are rather brittle, but when they
have been soaked for ten minutes in
warm water in which rice has been
boiled they tougher and will bear the
strain of four or five pound weight.
They are used as fishing lines, and are
reckOned the best for creek or coast.
They are unwittingly supplied to the
fish erman by butterfly.
The large and beautiful Atlas moth.
with pink stripes and six glowing creS-
cents on its brown wings, fits about and
lays its eggs on the tallow tree. The
eggs hatch in the sunshine, the tiny
caterpillars come out and feed on the
fresh leaves, and grow to be four inches
long, and an inch thick. They are of
bright pale green color, with horny
black head and jaws, and with eight
pairs Of legs. The six legs On the
thorax are joined, and each ends
in a claw, while the other five
pairs of legs are telescopical and end
in discs, surrounded by minute hooks.
The caterpilIars crawl back downward,
along the leaf stems, and devour leaf
in twinkling. When they are full
grown and ready to spin the cocoon
into which they would wrap themselves
and change into butterflies, the Chinese
boy may pOunce upon them, slit them
across the back and draw out the two
spinning glands, which lie looped along
each side of the body cavity, close under
the skin. The glands, when extended,
are about three feet long and a
tenth of an inch thick, dwindling to two
fine threads that unite near an orifice
under the mouth, where the silk is spun
out. They are full of the clear viscid
substance that would be spun into the
cocoon.
After being drawn out whole through
the slit in the back the glands are
dropped into vinegar to remove their
outer coating, and are then stretched to
double or treble their original length.
When dry they form the fish lines sold
in the shops.

so. One of New Orleans rich and impetu-
Gus young men had been playing at the
roulette table and losing heavily. His
excitement grew more intense in pro-
portion as he lost. At last he became
!. frantic on perceiying that he no longer
had cent in his purse, says the Ameri-
can Magazine. He felt and fumbled in
vain with trembling hands all over and
in his wearing apparel, until, in the
profound recess in huge pocket of his
Overcoat he unexpectedly discovered
bank note that seemed to have carefully:
and prudently hidden itself to escape
from the general wreck. Eagerly I'M
rolling it, he joyfully exclaimed:
1 10y i heavens it is for $1,000!
forward over the voracious board of the
. black and red, as he raised his arm to
fling his last note on it, he caught the
eye of Sterlain, who occupied his usual
seat as dealer, and was keenly watch
ing the movement. Immediately the
youth Strengthened himself up, still
holding the bank note and thus apOS-
trophized Sterlain: ''Ah, ha! L see that
you greedily expected this $1,000 note
to swell your pile. Well, you shall not
have it, and to escape all temptations,
here it goesn' Whereupon he twisted
the note as If it had been waste paper,
and holding it up to the flames of the
chandelier, and he wrathfully Kissed
these words through his clench ed teeth:
''Burn, my poor note and evaporate into
thin air rather than be swallowed up
like your lost sister by the bloated
monster whose NAV yawns for you"
away amid the loud laughter of his
friends who shouted: Bravo! bravo!"
