An Artificial SiIk-Worm.

"It is by no means impossible" said
O Paterson silk manufacturer, 'that
artificial silk may sometime replace
the product of the silk-worms' labor.
That, of course, is only possibility,
and not a probability, but it is very
probable that artificial methods will
replace the tedious and expensive
means now employed to utilize the
worms. 1t has for some time been
known that worn-out silken fabrics can
be utilized by putting them in chem
ical bath which separates foreign sub
stances from the silk itself, and saves
the latter In solution. This solution
can be respun or used to plate other
thread. Now, as l learn from France,
DR.. Chardonne, of that country, has
succeeded in making purely artificial
silk. He makes solution of nitro
cellulose, alcohol, ether, ferrous chic
ride and fannie acid, in nicely -calculat-
cd proportions, and runs it from res
epvoir through an exceedingly minute
hole into bath of water, calculated
with one-half of one per cent Of
mono-hydrated nitric acid. The fluid
hardens in the water, and is dried in
hot air. l is said that the thread car
be readily dried, but I do not know
what other valuable qualities it has.

PEOPLE BURIED ALIVE.
The Awful Story of a Russian Peassn
Woman's Fate.

The Awful Story of Russian Peasant
Woman's Fate.
In Russia people are oftener than
elsewhere ned-unintentionally
of course-to that most gruesome OF
all deaths, OF which E. A. Poe had
such unfeigned horror-burial alive.
But the circumstances accompanying
this frightful tortue are seldom so
characteristic or so horrible as in the
case of the wife of peasant in the
government of Volhynia, on the borders
of Austria, who, according to the local
journal, VolhyniG, was lately buried in
a cOmatose state. She was expecting
soon to become mother at the time OF
her supposed death. After the corpse"
had been kept the usual time, the par
ish priest, Konstantinoff, recited the
prayers of the burial service in the
church-yard; the widower cast three
handfuls of earth on the coffin, and all
departed except the grave-diggers. In
filling up the grave the latter shoveled
in an unusually large sod of hard earth,
which struck the coffin with a loud
noise, and woke up the unfortunate
woman from her sleep. The horror OF
her position at once dawned upon her.
She cried out in most piteous tones to
the grave-diggers to rescue her from a
horrible death. She solemnly prom
ised them all her property if they
would take her from the grave and
coffin. The more she cried and en-
treated, the more strenuous were their
endeavors to fill the grave; and on
leaving the church-yard, when their
work was done, they still heard her
cries and means.
The grave-diggers then hurried of
to her husband who was surrounded
with guests, drinking to the memory
of the deceased. Having related what
had taken place, the matter was dis
cussed by the guests and the neighbors,
who soon came rushing in, and it was
finally resolved mem. con. that an evil
spirit had taken possession of the de-
ceased, and that, in order to prevent
her walking at night and disturbing
the people, it was absolutely necessary
to disinter her and drive an aspen
stake through her body. The husband
sent a deputation to the priest, asking
permission to disinter the body and
perform this superstitious rite deemed
necessary in all such cases. The priest,
Mortified, hurried off to the church.
yard, and had the body disinterred in
the hope of saving life, but super
stition had already got its victim-the
woman was dead, but unmistakable
signs showed she had struggled hard
to escape from the most horrible death
the human mind can conceive.-PGA

The Ohio Serpent Meund.


The famous Serpent Mound, in
Adams County, O., where the Peabody
Museum of American Archaeology has

crets of the strange structure, has been
bought and turned into magnificent

is the most notable of all the mounds
of this country. Prof. Putnam has re-
Gently found reasons for reversing the
opinion that had been growing among
scholars, that this mound, and all SIM

okee or Shawnee, or other historic
tribes of Indians. He concludes that
at least the Serpent Mound was the
work of race of men either identical
with the ancient Mexicans or akin to
them. The preservation Of our most
important and characteristic monu-
ments of Antiquity should engage not
only our universities, but the Governs

AN ANCIENT REPUBLIC.
Facts About Andorre, the Smallest of Al
monweaIths.

taCIS ABOUT AHuOEEbi thO Va All
COmmOnwealths.
This, perhaps. the smallest of all ma
tionalities, is remarkable for its long
lease of life. Its greatest length is I'M
der thirty miles, its greatest breadth is
under twenty; and when ''Historia de
la Republica d'Andorre" was pub
lished, in 1845, the population was
under 5000. 1t is marvellous while
nearly all the charters, prior to the
middle age of the German and Italian re-
publics, have disappeared, the original
charters of this republic have remained
almost unsupported in it's Pyrenean
archives for more than a thousand
years" The first credited tradition Of
Andorre dates from 778. and the first
written charter, which is still known
to exist, from sol. The war of Andor-
rian independence lasted for 400 years,
and their Bill of Rights was obtained
at it's close in 1878. To give somewhat
of an idea of the primitive character OF
this nevertheless sturdy nation, the
Taller finds the following, descriptive
of their judicial tribunal: Give times
a year, on the occurrence of some great
festival of the Church, the four-and-
twenty representative oligarchs assem-
BILE at the village which courtesy desig-
mates the capital, to deliberate on pub
lie affairs. Each of the twenty-four
councillors arrives on horseback, and
a national stable with twenty-four
stalls is prepared. Each legislator,
with his own patrician hands, puts up
his respective horse, attends divine
service in chapel attached to the
chamber of deliberation, exchanges his
PEASANTS dress for the stateliest cos
tune, shoots cartridges. and pheasants
in summer, hunts bears and wolves in
autumn and winter, feasts by night
with kind of Cyclopic sumptuousness,
passes few laws, and effectuates no re-
forms" The Andorrian religion is
curious admixture of worship and
pleasure, but in these regards is not
widely different from the practices OF
other countries, On some saints day,
sacred in their calendar, the people
congregate at lonely spot, where a
chapel opens for brief mass on each
anniversary of its patron. The remain-
der of the day is given up to dancing,
recreation of which the Andqrians are
fonder even than their neighbors, and
which it is no hard thing for them to
get up, even without a saints day. A
green sward, a clear moonlight, a
balmy air, and the falling fragrance OF
midsummer nights dew, are suffi-
Gent incidents. The chief dance OF
the people, termed the oval dan
dorre," is awkward enough, but pecu-
liar to the commonwealth, and reputed
to have been in vogue in the days Of
Christian at Work.

TIMBER CULTURE.
What Lands on the Farm to Devote to
the Planting of Trees.

What Lands on the Farm to Devote to
the Planting of Trees.
While the great mass of our farmers
admit the necessity of timber Guilt
waited in a general and systematic way,
but few on this side of the treeless
plains are ready to give up to this
work their best cultivated fields.
Timber planting is an investment from
which we can not hope to realize any
thing for a considerable length OF
time Comparatively few farmers are
able to give up the regular annual in
comes that they realize from common
farm crops, no matter how profitable
the timber crop promises to be.
Fortunately it is not necessary for
them to make such sacrifices, as rule
There are few farms east of the great
plains that do not contain more or less
waste land. Such lands often prove
admirably adapted to tree growing.
Many of the marshes and lowlands
lying along our rivers that are periodi-
cally overlooked will yield fine growths
of such varieties of timhera as arc natur-
ally adapted to such lands. The swales
on many farms, small swamps, rough,
rocky, hilly, uneven lands, that are al
most worthless for crops, the vast,
sandy stretches along our seaboards-
all such lands judiciously planted will
grow good crops of timber and ought to
be re-timbered. The farmer who has
such lands within his boundary lines
may start a forest without great ex-
pense. A piece of ground must be
rocky indeed that trees can not be
grown upon. Nor does a plantation
require very rich soil. OF course light,
sandy earth will not throw up rank,
rapid timber growth, but such lands can
be made to pay, nevertheless,
Some of the finest natural growth
timber is found along the steep sides
and tops of lodges and among huge
powders that nearly caver the ground.
Such lands are planted in England by
digging holes here and there where.
ever the chance Is afforded among the
rocks, and carefully planting such
trees as are desired, We have many
lessons to learn in this line, and as our
country becomes Diore thickly settled
it will be necessary forus to economic
in space and utilize all such rough bits
of surface just as they have long been
obliged to do in the countries across
the sea.
On the treeless plains of the West
few acres of the best land is not be-
grudged the forest plantation. 1t be-
comes then more question of outlay
OF labor and of capital for seed and
trees. The question of location is not
with regard to the economy or value
OF land as much as it is for the protec.
ton that the timber will afford the
yards, stables and dwellings.-K. ID.

DANCING IN THE BARN

Along the sky sweet airs are still;
Across the grass the moonbeams fall;
Upon the night strikes sweet the trill
OF nightingale and whippoorwIll,
And down the vale hear the call
To Dancing in the Barn"
All mel
So long ago 1t seems to be-
That Dancing in the Barn"
The torchlight falls on each young face.
AS, wheeling in the country dance,
Now in, now out, our shadows chase
About the dear, old-fashioned place.
Can aught in life so much entrance
As Dancing in the Barn.
All, mol
For youth is fair, but it must go,
Like Dancing in the Barn"
But ahl that nigh: when as OF yore
1 heard the haunting old refrain
When Love is done, it comes no more;
And ali, my heart, how you were sorel
And yet my feet kept time again
With Dancing in the Barn"
Too late;
The hour had struck Of life and fate
To Dancing in the Barn"
Long after, in a crowded street,
A poor, old, blind man feebly played
Just where the town and river meet.
My heart stood still, my steps delayed,
For that old tune which stopped and stayed
Was Dancing in the Barn.
And OIL
What tales are told Of long ago
That Dancing in the Barn"
All, poor young love, thought you deadi
And yet shed these sudden tears
After SO many silent years;
1t seemed . requiem DER your head,
That Dancing in the Barn"
But deep
In my poor heart that love doth sleep
With Dancing in the Barn"
