few people know that the discovery Of

Keeping Of silkwOrms. Persian monks
who came to COnstantinople revealed to
the Emperor Justinian the secrets Of the
production OF silk and gave him some
silkworms. From Greece the art passed
into Italy at the end Of the thirteenth
century.
When the Popes left Rome to settle at
Avignon, France, they introduced into
that country the secret which had been
kept by the Italians, and Louis II. es.
tablished at Tours mandatory of silk
fabrics. Francis !. founded the Lyons
silk works, which to this day have kept
the first rank. Henry II. OF France wore
at the wedding of his sister the first pair
OF silk hose ever made. The word
satin" which in the original was up
piled to all silk stuffs in general, has,
since the last century, been used to des-
ignate only tissues which present a lus-

pacing to and fro before his loom.
Every time he passed the machine, with
no definite object in view, he pulled lit
tie threads from the warp and put them
to his mouth, which soon after he spat
out. Later on he found the little bali OF
silk on the floor of his workshop, and,
attracted by the brillian: appearance of
