Silkworms Lose Little Time Beginning Work ~“Fhe gecréts of rearing silkworms have been handed down among Chinése farmers from father to son for hundreds of generations. The Chinese farmers buy silkworm eggs in the spring. These are very minute and are Bold on sheets of stiff paper each contalning 200,000 to 240,000 eggs. The egg sheets are placed In a clean basket in a small rearing room, and charcoal fires in earthenware brazlers are used to keep the temperature at 80 degrees day and night for nine days. : . - Then the eggs turn green. A day or two after this the worms hatch. For the first two or three days the young worms must be fed every two hours day and night. I'resh, soft ' mulberry leaves are shredded very fine and sprinkied over the lewly hatched worms; their jaws are too weak to chew much of the leaf, but they can suck out the julces. The worms reach their full growth in 18 days, says a writer in the Scientific American. Some idea of their ravenous appetite can be galned from the fact that a group of 200,000, the number hatched from one egg sheet about one foot square, eat a ton and a half of mulberry leaves in a little ever a fortnight. On the eighteenth day the farmers transfer the worms to a -bamboo rack, and almost immediately they begin to spin their cocoons. . 4 Knowledge Spread by Ancient Playing Cards A collection of 18 varieties of playing cards was recently shown in London, where they were viewed. with much interest. The earliest pack is of the Thirteenth centtiry. 1t has crude fanciful figures etched on thin plates of horn, backed with paper. Several packs, dated between 17141785, are known as geography packs. They have complicated maps of much information on foreign countries. The 1780 cards are adorned with sketches, showing incldents in various fables with verses. There s a natural history pack, one deallng with astronomy, and one with words and music, The ‘'more modern the pack, the simpler the design. A playing card expert suggests that the decline in adornment was due to modern brains being more active than those of 6ld. “Three hundred years ago, people’s "brains worked much slower than they do now,” he says. “Consequently, card games took longer, and it was natural that there should be some Interesting matter for players to read. The speed of card playing has undoubtedly increased tremendously.”—Exchange.

Confucius “Written Up”

In the year 1403, Yung Lo, emperor of China, ordered that there be compiled in a single work all that had been written about the Confucian doctrine, together with an account of the life of Confucius and all collateral matter connected in any way with the teacher and his philosophy. Te complete the 'task there was a staff of 2,141 scholars, 20 sub-directors, five directors and three commissioners, and the work took flve years. The finished work consisted of 22,877 sections bound into 11,100 volumes each half an inch thick. The expense of printing beirg found too great, two coples were made about the year 1567. The ‘original and one of the copies were destroyed when the Ming dynasty fell, in 1644. The remaining copy, except fve volumes, wag destroyed in a revolutionary outbreak.—Dearborn Independent.

Phrases That Are Old

A phrase frequently heard is “necessity 1s the mother of invention.” But few realize how old it is. We find it in the “Republic” of Plato: “The true creator is necessity, who is the mother of our invention.” . When Disraeli gave the alternative title of “The Two Nations” to his novel “Sybil,” to emphasize the' gulf which lay between the rich and the poor of the same country, he was echoing Plate. “Any city,” sald Plato, ‘however small, is in fact divided inta two, one the city of the poor the other of the rich.” :

Another very modern note i{s struck by Bir Thomas Moore in “Utopia,” where, talking of education and environment, he says, “You first make thieves and then punish them.”

Measuring in Tons

" Two men were disputing as to the Weight of an iach of rainfall. “I read ~Nomewhere that it is 101 tons of water ‘to the acre,” said one. “No,” said the other, “I'm positive the correct figure is 118 tons.” The weather bureau of ‘the United States Department of Agricylture says that both are right. The rainfall in the first instance was reckoned by the long ton, or 2,240 pounds, the common ton in Great Britain. The ‘long ton 1s used for some purposes in this country, but the short ton of 2,000 pounds, which gave the second result, is more usual here. .

Bang—l don’t. 1 want (o live just as long as possible. ‘ © Biff——What do you think youw'll get out of life when you get old like that?” Bang—Boy, I'll get a big kick out of Just sittin’ around and crabbin’ about how the younger generation is going to the bow-!qus. : ; Skidding Auto Toll.

Sound Advice Given ~ by Ancient Writers

The old sanitary laws devised by the Hebrews must be recognized by hygienic experts, as based on sound and scientific medern concepts, according to Dr. Otto Bauer, physiclan at Jena, who writes in & German popular medfcal journal, Pierre Van Paassen coniments, in the Atlanta Constitution. Humanity must often ge back to the ancients for counsel and advice. The Mosaic sanitary laws are not the only instance. How much sound advice, for example, 1s there not contained in Xenophon's Qeconomicus for the young matrons eof our days who wish to retaln their schoolgirl complexion and their slira, sthletic figures? Xenophon writes of a man who told Socrates how he had counseled his wife not to use so much white enamel for her complexion, to discard highheeled shoes and not to dip too deeply in the rouge pot. And he added: *“I counseled “ar to oversee the baking ‘woman as she made the bread; te stand beside the housekeeper as she measured out her stores; to go on tours of inspection, for it seemed to me this would at once be walking exercise and gynastics. And as a most excellent gymnastic, I recommend her to knead the dough and roll the paste; to shake the coverlets and make the beds. For by so doing she would enJoy her food, grow vigorous in health and her complexion would be lovelier.” Socrates gravely assented to this and referred somewhat contemptuously te “ordinary fine dames, painted counterfeits of wemanhood.” Famous English Poet - -of Seventh Century The earliest HEnglish poet of whom there is any record was St. Caedmon, whose festival i 3 celebrated:-in both the. Roman and Anglican calendars. He lived in the Seventh century in Northumbria, the son of a farmer, and his poetic gifts were sald to be of miraculous orlgin. : At drinking parties each person present was supposed to compose and sing a verse. Caedmon was unable to compose a line, and when the harp was brought out he always fled from the festive party. . On one such occasion ghen he was lamenting his lack of poetic ability, a vislon appeared to him and inspired him to write a poetic version of the Creation. The manuscript of ‘this work, supposed to have been composed by Caedmon, 18 preserved at Oxford. Caedmon translated into Anglo-Saxon the whole of sacred history. He became a monk in the convent of which the famous Hilda was abbess. There he liveé and sang and’ died, in the odor of sanetity, and was afterward canonized.—Chicago Journal, “ All in the Same Boat : An amusing Indlan story is translated into English by Pandit Shyama Shankar, an Indian scholar who is also well versed in English. Four Mohammedans were offering prayers st a mosque. - One, by chance, said something not belonging to the prayer. The man next to him cried out: *You fool, you have spoken out {n the midst of your prayer. Therefore all your prayer goes for nothing.” ‘And yours?’ cried out the third man. “You, too, have spoken, so your prayer cannot have any effect.” The fourth man muttered to himself: ‘“They are all speaking. Thank God I am not!” »

Work Made Enemies

“The Age of Reason,” treatise advocating deism, was written by Thomas Paine. Paine having incurred the displeasure of the Robespierre faction during the French revolution, was imprisoned in Paris for the greater part of the year 1704; and it was while he was thus confined that he completed the second part of the work. Thig was published after his release, in 1795. A portion of the third part appeared in 1807. The book, owing to its pronounced doctrines, allenated many of Paine’s personal friends.—Kansas City Star. i

Medicine Cheap and Good

Here’s a French physician who advises us to walk on the front of the feet, in order to stimulate the action of our lungs. :

“Walk on the front part of the foot,” says this Professor Amer, “at the rate of 130 steps a minute, with the head up and the calves stiffened, a quarter of an hour, morpning and evening.” This medicine, comments an observer, can be taken by anyone, costs nothing and ig very beneficlal. _

Famous French Palace

St. Germain is near Paris, France. The palace here was begun by King Louis the Fat in 1124, and enlarged and embellished by his successors. especially by Franeis L, Henry IV. and Louis XIV. After James II :of ‘England ' fled from the kingdom to France at the time of the revolution of 1689, he was housed in this palace and lived there a pensioner of the king of France until his death on September 15, 1701.
