A Chicago letter in the New York World
says:


San extraordinary scene occurred in CAL
vary Episcopal Church on Sunday last, which
has SO far escaped notice in the local press-,
Rev. j. F. Walker, the rector, was noticed
by the congregation to be in apparently ..ilI
health and to read service in the morning with
an unusual feebleness. When, however, ho
came to the sermon he broke down completely.
and in few startling sentences announced
the reason. He had not dined the day before,
he said, as he had no money wherewith to 60
marketing, and all that he had esten on Sat-
urday and Sunday was bread and butter and
tea. When he went home on Sunday he was
not sure that he should even find that. The
congregation rose and departed without any
further sermon. Calvary parish is not very
large or wealthy one, but, il is abundantly
able to support its incumbent. Mr.. Walker
is gentleman of ability, educstion, and zeal,
and his case will cause sensation when ID is
now made public.


1 may add that Mr. Walker had invitations
to more dinners on Sunday last than he could
have eaten in mouth; but his Pensioners
feel sore upon the subject, and think thst the
exposure was not seemly. Their neglect Is
probably owing to the fact that the rector has
a small private income of his own, which.
however, is fully taken up in the education
OF his children.

The reading of the law will show at a
glance that not single member could re-
ceive $4,000, since the mileage already re


ceived for the Congress, had to be deduct
ed. In some instances this reduced the
amount actually received by the members
to almost nothing. One Senator donated
his back pay" to the Washington Monu-
ment Fund. 1t amounted to just $132.75


In one instance at least, Senator declin-
ed to call for his ''back pay" because
when the deductions were made it was a
minus quantity, and he was indebted to
the government. But as matter of fact
there is no such thing as shack pay" in
the case. The prominent objection
the feature most condemned is, that the
increased pay was voted at the close, and
not at the commencement of a Congress

Commenting on the prevailing opin- ion that only rich men can get into the United States Senate, nowadays, The Sd1e Fraecisco Bulletin goes over the list of" wealthy" Senators

 It has come to this that, as elections are now managed in large number of the States, the candidate must either have wealth or he must be the friend of some powerful corporation. No mat ter how much ability one may have or how superior he may be in all that would make good legislator, there is small chance for him without money. If he is poor and honest, there is less hope for ninn. The Senate is filing up with inferior men, who, having reached office corruptly, will thereafter legislate corruptly. If they were the tools of corporations before election, they will be nothing less afterward. The remedy is with the people, just where the evil has originated. If they are willing to perpetuate this reign of fraud, then there is no hope of reform. The worst men in the community will have far better chance of going to the Senate than the best. The recent exposures of bribery will not mend matters. Nor can, any reform touching the purity of elections be expected to originate in the Senate when so large a number of that body are more or less tainted by election tricks. The popular anathemas go for nothing unless in some way a re- form can be initiated right down among the people. s~ s5+5 FAksEs 5s7

According to MT. J. Alfred Wanklyn, the most common modes of adulteration of milk consist in removing the cream in greater or less quantity and in adding water; and consequently the testing of milk resolves itself essentially into the detection of the skimming and watering, and the measuring of the extent to which these operations have been car ried. For this purpose he finds it most satisfactory, first, to estimate accurately the normal composition of milk, or at least the average limits of variation in this respect, and then to find out what deviation from this average is presented by any given sample. The result of many inquiries on h1s part is to show that the solids left by evaporation of cows milk vary comparatively little, in different animals or in different seasons, and he thinks that a range of from to 12 per cent. expresses about the aver age amount of these solids.

The SPINNING OF THE SILK-woRM.-Tbe
silk-worms change their skin four times.
After the fourth moulting comes redoubed
appetite, which permits them to attain their
full size in few days. Then other phe-
nomena appear. The caterpillar ceases to
eat, and empties itself entirely; it seems
uneasy, wanders here and there, and seeks
to climb. Warned by these symptoms, the
breeder constructs for it with branches a
cradle or bower, into which it mounts. 1t
chooses a convenient place, hangs itself by
the hind feet, and soon, through the spinner
of which | have spoken, We see come out
thread of silk. This is at first cast out in
any direction, and forms collection of
cords destined to fix the cocoon that is to
be spun. Soon the work becomes regular.
and the form of the cocoon is outlined.
For some hours we can see the worker per-
forming his task across the transparent
gauze with which he surrounds himself.
By little and little, this gauze thickens, and
grows opaque and firm; finally it becomes a
cocoon like these place before you. At
the end OF about seventy-two hours the
work is done.


Once it has given out its bit of silk, a
worm in good health never stops, and the
thread continues without interruption from
one end to the other. You see that the
cocoon is in reality ball wound from the
outside inward. The thread which forms
this bail is eleven miles in length; its thick.
ness is only one twenth- four hundreth of an
inch. 1t it is so light that twenty-eight
miles of it weigh only fifteen and a third
grains. So that two and one-fifth pounds
OF silk is more than 2,7O0 miles long.


Let me insist a moment on the prodigious
activity of the silk-worm while weaving his
cocoon. To dispose of its silk when spin
ming, it moves its head in all directions, and
each movement is about one-sixth of an
inch. AS we know the length of the thread
we can calculate how many movements are
made in disposing of the silk in seventy-two
hours. We find in this way that a silk
worm makes nearly 100000 motions in
twenty -four hours, or ,l66 an hour, or sixty
nine per minute. You see that our insect
yields not in activity to any weaver; but
we must add that it is beaten by marvellous
machines that the industry of our day has
produced-Popular Science Monthly.

For days and weeks upon the lip has hung

Some tender confidence but lately sprung.
Some dear confession that but must hear.
The heart repeats it over day by day,


And fancies how and when the words will fall
What answering smile upon the face will play,
What tender Light will lnger over all.
But eager eyes that watch for one alone
May grow reluctant for the open gate
Lets in, with him. perchance guest unknown,
On whom slow words of courtesy must wait.

May sink our precious thoughts in deep reserve

AN INDIANA AERoLITE.-A very curious
visitor from unknown regions is described
by farmer of Tippecanoe county in the

made short time since of the fall of won
derful aerolite, in the lower part of this
county. Yesterday we met Mr.. Harter,
who discovered 1t upon his farm near Rom
ney The fragments in all, it is supposed,
will amount to about thosand pounds in
weight, and some features are presented
which will be of great interest to scientific
men. The aerolites heretofore found are of
solid aud metallic nature, having evidently
struck the earth "a compact bodies This
one is entirely different. From the traces
it is easily determined that the vast descend
ing globe came hurting through the air in
one glowing, molten mass, and that at the
moment OF It's impingement it was in liquid
state. The fragments are honey-combed,
like cinder, and vary greatly in their
weight. 1t is further evident that the globe
was hollow, from the smoothness Of the con-
cave parts. The outside presents the ap-
pearance of a soft body that has struck upon
solid particles, as the indentation of grass
blades, straws and sticks are plainly discern

actly. The very texture of the wood can
be seen. Further. than this all around the
spot where the main body fell were found
numerous little balls of the material varying
from a shot to an ordinary sized marble
They were perfect spheres, and can be ac-
counted for upon no other hypothesis than
that the rapid revolution of the liquid mass
in its descent threw off these particles by
centrifugal force. Parts of the material
have been subjected to intense heat without
the least effect being produced, and they
show unquestionable evidence of igneous ac
ton. A oox Of these fragments will be
shipped to the Smithsonian Institute, and
the remainder are intended for the Purdue
Agricultural College.
