CRAZY QUILTS.
"Crazy exclaimed 'Papa Browne
when femme shelved bum the quip
which the girls of the "Band" bad
been piecing, "I should think so.
Wily, Louise, what is the Matter•
with your blocks ? Why didn't you
have some ono cat them who ecoid
cut true e"
"Why, Papa Browne, that is the
idea to have it all put together
overyway; that is why R is oalled e
crazy quilt. You sen there is tie ro
gularity to it, but it is just lilto a
parson who has no plaus in his
bead,"
"I see ; just like a good malty
things I kuow. Well, Louise, 1 did
not think you of all girls, would
take to doing thmgs withont tt
plan."
"01.1 ! we bad a plan -to make it
just as pretty as you could."
"I see, again ; ami these gine I
am speaking of, suppose they have
o plan to have just as good a pan
as possible, and they order their
daily lives just lake this patchwork
-hill of hale happenings without
any plan or design as to synmerri
cal lives."
''But. papa," said Louise th:,ught•
fully, "the quilt is squaro when it is
finished, Don't you see aur liven
maybe squared at last, Seems to
me that it is a good way to do it to
make the most of every bit of time
-no matter how small or how it
may seem to corner iu."
Papa brown laughed. "Well,
Puss," he said, "I guess you have
the best side of the argument, after
all. Where did you get ell these
pieces ?" asked Mr. Browne, after
carefully inspecting the quilt.
"Oh! We all contributed of our
store and begged of our friends, and
then wo bought a few ; you know
that there are dealers in materials
for crazy patchwork, and the pieces
come in packages."
"Weil I declare," said Mr. Browne
" r hat next ? Modern ingenuity will
exhaust itself, I am afraid in schemes
for making money."
"0, no 1 this is n scheme for
saving the pieces," said Louise
quickly. I am sure that is a very
praiseworthy result of man's iltveu
tine genius. But, papa, we, girls
had a dispute, the other day, about
the manufacture of silk. Ella I -lays
said that silk was mads of the die -
carded house of a worm. Aud
Fanny Price disputed her, and said
the worm did not leave the cocoon
at all. Ella said it wee a butterfly
when it left its old home. I wish
you would tell me about it,"
Mr. Browne whistled softly.
"Seems to me, Louise, that you ex
pect me to be a walking cycicpredia."
Then setting himself comfortably in
his arm chair he oontinued : "The
silk worm was first discovered in
Northern China, among the moue -
tains, and it is supposed that all the
silk worms come from those found
there, though none of the wild ones
can be found now.
"It was many hundred years ago
that a Chinese emperor suggested to
has wife the idea of cultivating the
silk -worm, to see if anything could
be made of it. And for two thous-
and years the Chinese kept the art
of silk -making a secret. And at one
time the exportation of silk• worm
eggs or of unreeled cocoons was for-
bidden on death. A eort of moth
lays an egg which hatches out a
worm and this worm feeds upon mut
berry leaves for while, then begins
to spin itself a wrap, winding deli-
cate threads about its body until a
ball about an inch long is formed,
oontaining about one thousand
yards. The color of Ibis is a yellow-
ish white.
"Both your Irionds are right.
When the cocoon is left alone the
moth remains inside about a fort
night, their breaks his ay out in
the form of a moth again, and so
discards his house ; but this pro.
eel s of breaking out spoils the co
coon for reeling, though it can be
need for floss, and the outsides of
all cocoons are used for the same
purpose. It is only when it rs de-
sired to raise more moths that the
chrysalis is allowed to develop and
Work its way out. For the purpose
of making silk, the canons are heat-
ed in some way, either by exposure
to the noonday sun or by baking in
an oven in order to kill the chrysalis
and prevent injury to the delicate
thread" These cocoons ate called
dry eocooue, and are ready to be
reeled. You can easily understand
that after the silk is reeled off in
large skeins, it is ready to be doubl-
ed, often several times, and twisted
and also to go through varioue pro.
00e080 of clanging, dyeing, etc,"
"Do they raise silk -worms in the
United ,States ?" asked Bettina,
