her just one of the cogs in the big ma

little sister to the poor. She stands on
the corner IN the shelter of the big once

way to us sometimes; sometimes not.
A soldier she is, accomplishing, intrepid,
passionately loyal; and all honor to this

s;lkworms in Ribbon.

Some ambitious silkworms OF the
neighborhood of Venice have woven
by themselves a ribbon three yards
long and three INCHES. wide. When they
reached the chrysalis stage, instead Of
weaving round cocoons on the twigs
prepared for them, they preferred to
travel up and down the smooth side Of
a strip of wood nine feet long and
three inches wide. Back and forth
they went, spinning their silken web,
until at last they made a beautiful
ribbon, transparent in it's center and
golden yellow at the heavier edges.
The scarf is amazingly strong for .
fabric so delicately woven.
