WIZ slIk Worms.

The world is indebted TO the Chin
csc for the discovery of the virtues of
the silk worm. It's product was un-
known in Rome until the time of
Julius Caesar and so costly was the
material that even the Emperor Au-
relian refused a dress of this lustrous
fabric to his empress. Now It is nur-
tured in almost every country, and its
products are within the reach Of all.
Resides the several domestieated
species there is a wild silk worm
found in Central America, which
.weaves haglike structure two feet
in depth, that hangs from the trees.
At a distance the nest resembles a
huge matted cobweb The insect
makes no cocoon but weaves the silk
in layers and skeins around the in.
side Of The nest. From Tegucigalpa
there we're sent to England some
years ago six pounds of this silk.
There it was made into handSerchiefs
not easily detected from common silk
Of equal strength and delicate texture.
There is a curioues silk-produclng
spider In Central America, the arana
de seda, which may be seen hurrying
along With load of flne silk on its
back from which trail numerous del
lcate filaments.-Harper's Weekly.

SHE WAS DESPERATE WOMAN
Keen Dependency in Tragedy
of Separation.

Her locks were in wild disorder.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes
flashing. She clenched and unclench-
ed her fingers in an agony of despair
Unless her looks belied her, she was
q deeply-iniured and desperate wom-
an. Her indignation and anger were
allied with keen dependency.
Cruel one-oh, cruel one!" she
cried, in anguished tones. 81 have
borne with you too longl You have
injured me; you have tortured me,
and yet l could not bear to give you
up!
when first We met, how your ease
and polish attracted mel" she contin-
ued. when you became my very
own, how my friends envied me! But
your understanding is too small for
my large soul! You have ruined my
standing in society? If We had never
met ! might have walked in peace!
So now begone! We part foreveri"
There came a moments convulsive
breathing. a gritting of teeth, and q
sharp sigh. 1t was all over. The
tragedy was ended. By an. almost
superhuman effort she had pulled off
her new shoe.
