O'Clock last evening. Following 80
close upon the wreck Of the sash fac
tory last Friday night. and being in the
same neiehborhood, tie excite
ment among the residents OF that
section was intense. Ths systematic
and able work Of the Rsbbins Hose

be a serious conha@ration. The
stables were wrecked with their con

stock was saved. The buildings were

state and stiffness for several hours. They
are frequently quite sick, and die even during
the molt; but if they are kept clean, have
plenty Of pure mir and fresh food, your
losses in this way viii be few. After each
molt yo1r worms viii be lighter in color and
prettier.
The silk worm is very gentle. It never
bites it has no sting or means Of defense T.
Is always hungry, except during the molts,
when no food can be given and it should not
be disturbed. But as soon as the worm
awases it is ready for food, which should be
ready in abundance on clean trays.
From the second week Of It's life on to the
last the amount of refuse that accumulates Is
astonishing. The trays should DO changed
daily, or they will become sour and mold
aud silk worms are, is possible moro susccp-
tible TO diseases arising from filthy conditions
than are human beings. They cannot endure
dust. tobacco smoke or bad air; and this de-
termination toward cleanliness, together
with the leaf picking, makes life pretty stir
ring for the attendant About eight davs
after the fourth mott the hitherto quiet
worms begin to get restless They leave the
trays and 80 pros secting for likely places in
which TO bestow their golden treasure. They
are not always easy to please They have a
knowledge Of their own, and your wishes
may not bo theirs, and if not, they
viii gain the day. You can tie two trays
together and fasten in those where they are
feeding, place brush, shavings, crumpled
pieces Of cloth, net or paper, small paper
boxes or cones to tempt their wandering
fancy and yet some of them win spin in the
dirt and disorder Of the feeding trays, and
others will manage to eludo your watchful
eye, escape from the racks to the door or
ceiling and spin in cracks or corners. But it
is an era in the culturist's life when she sees
the first little golden bah.
The worm Just before spinning clears its
body and becomes a beautiful, almost golden
color, nearly transparent. After that it
never osts It's hour approaches, and, secur-
ing the place it seeks, it first attaches thread
to one place. then to another, much as a spi-
der does, except that the worm draws the
thread from little tube on its under lip
the spinnet 1t is called-turning its head
from side 20 side as it spins in short loops,
thus; SsSSSs. After fastening its supports
securely It goes to the center, turns itself
backward nias5 horseshoe, with is feet out,
and begins its little coffin Gradually the
veil thickens and covers it and shuts from our
sight the busy little creature who tolls on
long after VIC lose sight Of him.
In about six days from the time the spin
ming began, gather your cocoons. Do not
select the largest but the firmest and smooth
est in texture, that is, il you wish to continue
the business another Season. For an ounce
Of seed You will need from 200 to 250 oocoons.
These can be strung carefully, taking pains
not to pierce the chrysalis with your needle,
and hung ont Of reach Of mice. Or the1 can
be loosely laid in boxes or shallow pans.

Another plan is to have a large vessel in
which smaller, perforated one can sit with
out touching the water. The cocoons 70 be
pu' in the smaller one, and the water TO boil
T driously twenty-five or thirty minutes. But
this is tedious When you steam in this way
/ lay a cloth in the perforated basin before you
put the cocJons in, draw the ends of the
cloth over the top OF the cocoons and then
put on the lid. They must, when steamed,
be very carefully handled, as the steam soft
ems them so, and they should be spread
/ evenly on clean white cloths in an airy room

When the chrysalis has burst the slard and
made ready to enter upon its new plane Of
existence, which it does by gently forcing
apart one end Of the cocoon, it comes forth q
very pretty little moth clad in furry white
ness, with heavy black antenne and delicate
traceries Of wing. AS when a mere worm, il
is still the most helpless Of creatures, being
able neither to fy, TO eat nor in any way to
