Caterpillars and moths of the mulberry silk industry of India are entirely do- mesticated creatures. The Indians collect the cocooons spun by cater pillars and allow them to hatch. The females are kept until they lay eggs and when the caterpillars are large enough they are placed on trees, to feed. When a tree is stripped, piece of cloth is hung from a limb and the caterpillars crawl onto it and are moved to another tree.
 Tasar, or tussore silk, comes from China and Japan. Muga silk is a pro- duct of Assan. Fri silk comes from caterpillars which feed on the castor l oil plant. It is of great value in India
 because it is the only silk that can be ! spun from cocoons without killing the | insects in the cocoons and is there fore the only silk that can be worn by | a strict Hindu.

then it got so lively that we had to sit
up with it all night to save the fnrni-

the only thing it didn't knock over and
it got burned trying that.

THE VALUE OF KIND WORDS

Let the young people who weekly
read this column never lose an OPP
portunity to say kind word to their
parents. Your parents have PLAN
ned for your best interests all these
years. They may sometimes (their
nervous system all used up by the
cares, and losses, the disappointments
the worries of life), be more irritable
than they ought to be, and they
probably have faults which have be-
come oppressive as the years go by.
But those eyes, long before they took
on spectacles, were watching for your
welfare and their hands, not as
smooth and more deeply lined than
once, have done for you many good
days work. Life has been to them
more of a struggle than you shall
ever know about, and much of the
struggle has been for you, and how
much they are wrapped up in your
welfare you will never appreciate.
Have you by word or gift or be-
havior, expressed your thanks? Or if
you cannot quite get up to saying it
face to face have you written it in
some holiday salutation? The time
will soon pass and they will be gone
out of your sight and their ears will
not hear, and their eyes will not see.
If you owe them any kindness of deed
or any word of appreciation, why do
you not say so? How much we might
all of us save ourselves in the matter
of regrets if we did not delay until
too late in expression of obligation
that would have made the last years
of earthly life more attractive. The
grave is deaf, and epitaphs on cold
marble cannot make reparation.
