Editor Social Corner: While the school chiliren have been coliectiug thousands of {he egz masses of the destructive tent caterpillars, it might | have been interesting io learn some- thing of another member of the caier- plilar family, the Bombyx mori, or silk worm. When first hatched from the egz, the silk worm is black, and about one- fourth of ar. inch long, and remains in the larva state about six weeks. He changes his skin four times dur- ng his short Jife. Each time he is much Jarger. After the first molting he ia almost white, and about two inches lone. i The ailk worm is not allowed to live out of doors and eat the leaves. as the other caterpillars do, but is carefull housed and fed the leaves of the mul- | berry tree. | At about six weeks of age he begins | to erawl upward to find a secure place | to fasten his silken threads, and then | winds himself into a cocoon, or ball, | about as large as a pigeon’s egs. 1f not disturbed, or killed, in about fifteen days he turns into a white machinery. into southern Furope in his cane. Where, now, orchards, there used to grow, on ai- most every farm, to furnish feed for the silk worm. XN.E. B. Mansfield, GREETINGS FROM AUNT ABBY.

One of the brood exclaimed on opening her eves: “Ob, mamma, the sun is shin- ing! We were glad, I can tell you, for what a day it would have been if it had been stormy. We all went to church in the morning. The church was decorated with some of the prettiest double pussy willows | and laurel. Popover bought some lovely white calla lilies over to the hot= house; Rambler she also bought a large mixed bouquer. These with the | pastor's wife's large fern, the decora- | tions were complete. : The affair went off nicely; number were out., Aunty No. 1 was there with a stun- ning new swit and hat on, and beside her sat Adopted Sister and Aunty No. | 2. In the seat ahead of her sat Fat Contributor (her ankle is all better now), Widow Who and Maine Lover. Aunt’ Sarah sat in the very last seat with little Peggy Ann. Fay Verna was thete, all dressed up in Copen- hagen blue, with a large Catawba col- ored plume on her hat. Married and Happy as usual sat there smiling and nodding at all the Sisters who came in and chanced to glance her way.

Popover has a large dish—roots and all—of them blossoming in the housc They are just lovely. We sauntered up around the lake and on a prett Jittle rocky place among the _dead leaves sat Hepatica waving her hands to us.

We brought | her home with us, and here she is stil Not much care, only she needs a drin occasionally, for she is very thirsty. “Now, Sisters, will you please name her?" said Samantha. “I have been months and trying to find you,” said Aunty No. 1 “Wor't you please tell me your name?? “No! ~ You must be patient a_little longer,” said Hepatica. “Then I will reveal myself unto thee.
