SILK CULTURE In AMERICA,
"Reminiscences OF the Attempts Made In
New Hampshire Years Ago.

"Reminiscences OF the Attempts Made In
New Hampshire Years Ago.
Boston Globe.l
Silk culture was practiced in many towns
in New Hampshire 80 years ago, and among
them Hopkinton. Colouel Stephen Long.
afterward civil engineer and for whom
Longs peak" in the Far West is named,
was one of the first to introduce the silk
worm into this town.
With others he planted large mulberry
orchard, Of which about 40 trees are vet
alive and fourishing, on the farm of c. G,
Hawthorne. Others followed their example.
and during the years from 1884 to 1S4G
many persons were engaged in raising
cocoons and manufacturing sewing silk. In
the production OF silk the farmers thought
they foresaw wealth and luxury. 1t is told
of one man that in urging mis- neighbors to
go into the business, he said: 1--WE shall all
wear shirts of silk"
For various reasons such sanguine ex-
pectatons failed to materialize, but it is
true large quantity of sewing silk was
manu- actured and was quite profitable in
dustry. Among who succeeded best was
Mrs. Abram Brown, who lived on Putney
Hill. Her daughters, the Misses Ellen and
Malvlna Brown, now living In Hopkinton
village, relate how they used to assist their
mother in the work, and still have in their
possession beautiful specimens of hosiery
and sewing silk; also the remains of silk
dress which was woven at home on a COM
mon hand loom, such as were in use in
almost every farmers house at that time.

There came a pause, and ever the un-
earthly sympathy grew and gathered in his
heart, till it seemed to him as though sepa-

space they were mingled in one being.
A great gust shook the house and passed

MONEY THROWN AWAY
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH:


Fair wages and thrifty habits enable
thousands of mechanics and laboring men
to build pretty cottages and other thousands
might be equally fortunate except for the
rum-seller. Every rum-seller lays his
heavy hand on crowd of victims and ad-
dresses them substantially in this fashion:
mo, you shall not build cottages; that
part Of your income or wages that you might
save for such a purpose must be spent for
the pleasure of the society afford you. I
will build cottages and rent them to you so
long as you pay regularly and patronize the
bar literally. But remember, business is
business; you can't play any out-of-employ-
ment or sickness fakes on me; when Won
can't pay the rent, out you go like pack of
dogs"
If the people of this generation are grow
ing wiser ard stronger, as acute observers
declare, 1t must follow that many of these
victims will extricate themselves from

to window curtain is that usually puffy
valance or lambrequin is needed at the top,
and too much light is thus shut out of a
room.
To avoid this. fretwork has been extern
sively used, during the past few years. A
laticed panel is put across the extreme top
of window. The curtain is then hung
from the pole, which is attached to the bot
tom part of this panel, and the fretwork,
from its very nature, allows the light to
enter, broken or softened. During the past
year, the French have set fashion in win

complicated piece OF work, is with the
French artist a &eam that never seems to
reach full realization.
In the first place, one should have at
window two sets of shades, a light shade-a
Holland of a natural color, and dark
shade-the light one to use during the day,
when necessary, and the dark one at night.
There should then be three sets of curtains;

Hunoreos OF the Rodents Can be Captured

see that the inside of the vessel is so smooth

will readily escape by climbing the sides.

Story of the Son of General Crittenden, Who
Died With Custer.
Harper's Magazne.I T
The little son of General Crittenden was
devoted to his fathers war horse, that was
named for the illustrious John j. Crittenden,
of Kentucky, the child's grandfather. He
asked his father to tell him Of retreat he
made during the war, but at certain point
said, "Father, were you on John J."'
Being answered afirmatively, the young
ster slid down from the paternal knee, and
was toddling off as fast as his little legs
could carry him, when his father said:
"Where are you going, my son?"
Father" he said, turning and showing a
face full OF reproach, John J. never would
have retreated if you hadn't turned him
round"
This same boy grew to manhood, and
died with his face to the foe with Custer
and his men on the Little Big Horn.

NATURAL PERFEUMS.
Ladies Have Taken to Using the Real Rose
Leaves Instead of Extracts.

huoieB nave Iaken 10 USING the heaI Rose
Leaves Instead of Extracts.
There are two scents that are being much
affected just now to the exclusion of the
druggists perfumes. says st. Louis florist
in the Globe Democrat. For one roses are
used. Quantities of roses are bought, and
the leaves are strewn in the drawers among
the clothing and between the folds. When
the leaves dry they are gathered up and
spread out in the drawers again, all about
the clothing, in the hat, the gloves
and even the boots. A delicious and last
ing odor is in this way obtained for the
clothing. and it is SO delicate that it really
seems to emanate from the breath. The
cheaper roses can be used for this purpose.
The other scent is obtained from the mag
nolia iuscata, a pretty white flower, with
thick petals and an odor something like that
OF fresh banana. They are used like the
rose leaves, but unlike the roses, they lose
their fragrance when dry.

THE VALUE OF LENT.

Sanitary Point of View.

Whatever may be thought of the religious
value of Lent, which has just closed, its
sanitary value is beyond question. 1t cries
a halt in the rush and racket of, life. Par
ties are bad form-so the fashionable rest.
Feasting is tabooed-so epicures recruit
their digestion. For period of 40 days. in
the very midst of "the season." the bellies
get little "beauty Sleep" and the beaux
are not in active demand.
The ''still, small voice" has o chance to
be heard-whether it is or not. An institu-
tion which thus operates among the walters
and gluttons of fashion is so far good at anv
rate. But alas, the passions never keep
