Of 1t slowly and only through variogs in

zine, from which our cut of the silk moth,
silk worm and cocoon is reproduced, tells that
the secret was carried into Persia by sor,e
monks who had resided long time In China,
and knowing that they would not be allowed
openly to carry away the silk worm eggs,
concealed them in bamboo cane, and in
this way the different varieties of silk worms
were scattered over many parts OF the
world.
The Bombyx mort is the principal one Of
the silk producing moths, and belongs to the
family OF Lepidoptera, in which are some Of
the largest and most beautiful insects. 1t is
of a grayish color, the body of the male not
half an inch long and that of the female
somewhat longer and stouter, while the wings
are short and weak. The larva is without
hair, Of gray or cream color and from three
to three and a half inches long The silk YES
sells are two sacs running along the sides of
the body and opening by one spnneret on
the under lip of the larva.

BLK MOTH, SILK WORM AND COCOON
When the larva is fully matured it pro-
ceeds to spin its cocoon, and from the silk
sacs throws out a silken thread about 1900
yards long. While doing this it continually
moves its head around for about three days.
The cocoons are white or yellow in color, egg
shaped, and measure from an inch to an inch
and half in length, and from half an inch
to an inch in diameter They are like a
hard shell with some of the silky fibers on
the outside.
In order to use the cocoons for silk, they
are gathered before they are pierced by the
moths in making their exits from the shell,
thus bursting them and injuring the tx.
Three or four days are required for thasilk

Singing, swinging on the gate,

Wondrous sights to see;
Then for grandpa's dear old farm,

Deputy Sheriff Hyland, of Dakota

murderer of Miss Dietzen, to st. Paul
last evening for safe keeping, and he
was locked up in cell four of the male
department. Of the county Jail. Som
mers maintained a stoical indifference
and refused to answer any questions
put to him. He shook hands with
Sheriff Hyland, said goodbye" and
accepted the silver which that official
generously gave him to purchase
little luXuries with. To Sheriff Beams
questions Sommers paid no attention.
He is smooth-f faced, young man, about
five feet eight inches in height, and
weighs about 1S0 pounds. He has brown
hair and blue eyes and rather pleasant
countenance. Miss Susie Hahn, who
lives on Smith avenue. near Third
street, was an intimate friend of Miss
DeitZen, the murdered girl. She also
knew SOmmers well. She said last
evening: They had been keeping COM

much attached to each other. He
always treated her well, and l never
heard of their having even a
lovers quarrel. He seemed Jealous of
her receiving attentions from any one

Louis was that he was Protestant,
They were generally understood to be

BISMARCK, N, D., Feb. 17.-The lot

from the legislative war. It is not
mentioned in session and Is heard of
only in jokes and jibes in the hotel cor
ridors. The investigating committee is
still at work, but did very little to-day.
There are several important witnesses
yet to be called, among them being E.

have interesting knowledge regarding
the election of United States senator.
The house to-day passed the bill ap-
propriating 100000 to pay the per diem
of members and officers of the legis-

Feazed by Balfour's Brutality.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE debate on the
address in reply to the speech from the
throne was resumed in the hou g OF
commons to-day. William O'Brien was
the first speaker. He declared that the
n atlonaliSts had grown stronger under
coercion. During MIR. Balfour's term of
office as chief secretary for Ireland
el20,OO0 had been subscribed by the peO-
pie to carry out the objects of the league.
The boycott still prevailed everywhere
and the NatiOnaIists had trIumphed
even in the districts in which the
ulster minstrels'' with T. w. Russell
as bones, and Maj. Saunderson as
banjo, banjo player Were accustomed to
reply attacked the Parnellites, say
ing that they now despatched praise on
the Gladstonites whom before they had
covered with the worst epithets. Thus,
Earl Spencer was charged with murder
and every effort made to hlacken his
character. Mr.. O'Brien, interrupting
Mr.. Russell, said: 81 certainly would
not let any man say that outside of this
house," Continuing Mr.. Russell said
the charge he made against the Parnell-
ties wos certainly true. Now the Par

needless severity. Probably the press

Ireland.
OBJECTS TO BEING sHADGwED.
Right Hon. j. q. Shaw Lefevre, men,
ber for Bradford, severely stigmatized
the manner in which he had been sub
jected to surveillance during his recent
visit to Ireland. He felt bound to con.
fess that he had been privileged per.
son in one particular. however; for he
had used language, which if used by
any OF the Parnell party. would have
led to his imprisonment. He admitted
that the governments contention that
Ireland was improved, was right as to the
fact of Improvement, but he held that
the government was wrong as to the
cause. The Improvement was rot due
to coercion; 1t was entirely due to
good harvest. Arthur III. Smith Barry.

OF the modern American army officer as
he exists at the frontier army posts in

be that the fresher the first or second
