A Lecture Om the Silk Worm.

1.-THE Brooklyn Daily Eagle 20 Fe5ry.J
The platform OF the lecture room Of the ZEN
trail congregational church presented a rem rk-
able sight last night. It was decorated with
several hundred exhibits showing the vari,ns
stages of the development Of a silk garment
There were bottles containing the eggs Of the
silk worm, called the graine, which are 50 small
that 100 of them weigh less than a grain silk
worms IN various styles of development were
there, cocoons OF various ages and conditions
were exhibited, two japanese women in native
costume reeIed delicate threads of silk from the
%cocoons, two mechanics dyed the silk thus draw
from the cocoons into various hues, thew having
set up their copper pots and gas stoves on the
platform, and beautiful samples of the finest silk
cloth to be had were hung about the walls
Professor John Dean, the we'll known entomo-
Ioglst OF this city, explained the process of
making silk goods from the Matching Of the
CRANE to the dyeing and weaving of the silk
This was the last of the course of ten lectures
delivered during the season and known as the
central course. Mr.. John Tinkay was the
presiding officer last night. Music was nro-
vlded by an orchestra of nine pieces con Iucted
by Carl Faust. This Japanese women who
assisted are Mrs. Omi Wa Ia Nabe and Mrs.
Ochyo Ma Kanishi. The dyeing was done by
William Wander Wegen and two mechanics
i-on MS SIX dyelng house IN this city. The
attendance was larger than that at any of the
previous lectures and the women present
were particularly interested in the practical
demonstration of the work necessary to make
a yard Of silk.
Professor Dean, after speaking in general of
the study of insect life, entered upon his talk
on "Sllk and the Silk worm" by taking up the
history of the use of silk. He said there were
1874 kno WI species of silk PRODUCING catern;1.

London, Feb. 26.-Parisians are in a nerv-
Gus and anxious condition to-day. D6roul6de
and his friends of the Ligue des Patriots have
been bestirring themselves to make the last
days of the Empress Frederick's stay in Paris
an unpleasant one, and a sudden disturbance
is dreaded when the time comes for her to
take her departure. This anxious feeling is
reflected in Berlin. Benjamin Constant has
refused to exhibit in the German capital, and
D6taille has yielded to pressure and now thinks
that it would not be patriotic to 90 to Berlin.
"a Berlin !" is not the cry of to-day. NJ.
Herbette, the French Ambassador to Germany,
will probably be recalled, for the reason that
it was he who induced the Empress to visit
Paris. There is no doubt of the consequence
of the feeling aroused in Berlin through the
movement of protest on the part of the French
people against the proposition that..the artistic
world of France should be represented at the
Berlin Exposition. L'EU6nement to-day com.
ments upon the bitter tone of the letter pub.
ished by Meissonier's widow this morning,
and contrasts it painfully with the loyal, open
hearted letter of coincidence sent to the widow
by the young Emperor of Germany when the
latter was informed of M~eissonier's death. The
Paris Bourse is weak owing to reports that
articles unfavourable to France arising from
feeling here over the visit of the Empress
Frederick have been printed in the Cologne
Gazette and other newspapers.
The Gazette saws: 1.-The French have q
right to think of revenge. but they have no
right to injure the feelings of the head of this
Empire and his mother by insults that could
be expected only of ~scoundrels. The German
people feel deeply the outrage upon the per-
son of their Emperor, and they have a right
to expect the French people and Government
to give ample satisfaction and to wipe out the
stain upon the honor of France by energetic
ally. calling to order the miserable wretches
who have insulted the ex-Empress Frederick.
Excited groups gathered in the Hobbies of
the Chamber Of Deputies this evening discuss
tng the article and the effect of the rebuff on
, 1891-03-18

The visit Of the Empress Frederick to Paris
and the attempt to induce French artists to
send some of their works to the Berlin Expo
sition have resulted in demon strating that the
French are still very angry with Germany
and that they prefer to do nothing whatever
for the art-education Of their old enemies. In
fact, judging from the tone of the Paris e
papers and the temper of the populace,
France would rather fight Germany than
assist to make q success of it's Exhibition. -

CLEVELAND BAY HORSES.

This breed Of horses is especially
adapted for carriage purposes. 1t is
large and strongly built and generally
of a brown or bay color. 1t is an
English breed. which has been pro
duced by crossing the thoroughbred on
an old race known as the Cleveland.
This breed was noted for its wonderful
strength, medium s.zed animal hav-
ing been known 10 carry on its back as
a pack, weight of 100 pounds a DIS
tance OF sixty miles in twenty-tour
hours This old breed is nov extinct,
having been displaced for want Of use
in consequence of the general Ltro-
ducrion Of railroads. BY crossing the
thoroughbred on this large mare a
medium-s'z4d, iaely-proportioned ami
NAL mas been produced which makes
the finest carriage or wagon horse in
the world. There are numerous breed
ers Of these horses in the United States,

TABLE CUSTOMS OF OUR ANCES-
TORS.

A thousand years ago, when the
dinner was ready to be served, the
first thing brought into the great
hall was the table. Movable trestles
were brought, or which were placed
boards, and all wee carried away
again at the close Of the meal. Upon
this was laid the tablecloth, which in
some of the old pictures is repre-
sented as having a handsome en-
broidered border. There is an old
Latin riddle of the eighth century in
which the table Says : Il feed people
with many kinds of food. FirstI am
a quadruped, and adorned with
handsome clothing then l am
robbed Of my apparel and lose my
legs also " The food OF the Anglo
Saxon was largely bread. This is
hinted in the fact that domestic
was called a "loaf eater" and the
lady OF the house was called Moaf-
giver." The bread was baked in
round, flat cakes, which the super
stition of cook marked with a cross,
to preserve them from the perils of
the fire. Milk, butter and cheese
were also eaten. The principal meat
was bacon, as the acorns Of the oak
forests, which then covered large
part OF England, supported numer-
Gus droveS OF swine. Our Anglo
Saxon toretathers were not only
hearty eaters, but unfortunately deep
drinkers. The drinking horns were
at first literally horns and so must
be Immediately emptied when flied :;
later when the primitive horn had
been replaced by glass cup, it re-
tanned a tradition OF its rule prede-
cessor in its shape, for it had tlar-
ing top while tapering toward the
base, so that it, too, had to be
emptied at draught. Each guest
WAS furnished with a spoon, while
his knife he always carried in his
belt as for forks, who dreamed of
them. when nature had given man
ten fingers? But YOU will see why a
servant with a basin OF water and a
towel always presents himself to
each guest before dinner was served
and after il was ended. Roasted
meat was served on the spit or rod
on which it was cooked, and the
guest cut or tore off a piece TO suit
himself. Boiled meat WAS laid on the
cakes of bread, or later on thick
slices OF bread called "trcncherS, "
from a Norman word meaning ''to
cut" as these were to carve the
meat on, thus preserving the table,
cloth from the knife At first the
trencher was eaten or thrown upon
the store floor for the dogs which
crouched at their masters feet, At
later date it was put in a basket
and given to the poor who gathered
at the manor gate. During the
latter part OF the middle ages, the
most conspicuous object on the
table was the sair cellar. This was
generally OF silver il the torm OF a
ship. Il was placed IN the center ot
the long table, at which the house
