Tha Trinket Worm.
Among the novelties In nature Is I
small worm, called the trinket worm,
characterized by this peculiarity,
which give rise to Its name:
On the leaves of a wild vine, called
the trlukot vine. Is found a small
worm, which looks at first like a
small piece of white thread and Is
almost motionless. If the leaf be
taken off and placed under a glass
case In the room this little thread will
In the short space of twenty-four hours
grow into a good sized caterpillar,
beautifully colored and studded with
KOldcn spots. When matured It will
clirnh up the class, fasten one of Its
extremities to the glass roof, and,
leaving the other hanging in the air,
will curl itself Into a variety of forms,
presenting exquisite, patterns for gold
trinkets, such as earrings, brooches
and clasps, changing from time to
time In great variety, whence its name
Is derived.

Homemade Ink.
A good Ink Is made In this way:
Bruise half a pound of nutgnlls and
stand In one quart of water, shaking
It now nnd then, for about four hours
Then add three ounces and a half of
gum nrablc nnd when It Is quite dls
solved three ounces of copperas. To
prevent the Ink from becoming moldy
when kept ndd three or four drops of
creosote. This gives n pleasant-like
smell to the Ink and does not corrode

do.

ROBERT ADAM.
EnglhJ
Ha Created a New Era In Englhr
Architecture.
Robert Adam (172H-02) was to Eng
lish un.'bitecture what llenveniito Cel
lini was to that of Italy. He was ar
chitect to the king, beloved at court;
a member of parliament, mid It was
said of him that he "could not help
adorning all that he touched." Thos
of the Knglish people who dwell la
Adam houses prize them as rare Jew
els. Adam Introduced Into English ar
chitecture a lightness, dolicney of
touch and charm of proportion which
It had never before jnissessed mid
which gave his name to that splendid
period of architecture tho style of
which lasted over a century. Every
thing In a house, from the panel In a
celling to the vases and gilt wood tri
pods and branches for lights, from
hanging at the window to a wom
an's hairpin holder, Adam designed
himself.
Adam got his rich, beautiful and
distinctive style from the ruins of the
Emperor Diocletian, at Hpalato. As a
finish to Interiors be conceived tha
Idea of using figures In relief upon
walls, colored and adorned according
to Raphael's Btanze painted fiat upon
the walls of the Vatican. His idea
was as bold as its result was beauti
ful. He also adopted Pompellan styles
of decoration.
"Adam was artist as well as archi
tect, nnd his walls, ceilings and inte
rior adornments are marvels of har
monious colors," says an architect,
"ne employed no less personages than
Angelica Kaufman and Zucchi to paint
many of the panels and medallions let
into his ceilings, and It was his habit
to have carpets woven to match tha
pattern overhead and harmonize with
the color there employed. The key
note of Adam's style Is 'movetrent,'
combined with perfect nrtlstlc fitness,
and It is peculiar for its grace and
statellness." New York Tribune.

It Must Have Been Pretty Thick Back
In the Old Day.
"Ynas, It's foggy quite foggy," said.
Hezekiah Torpyhue, filling his pipe and
puffing vigorously on the stem. "But
It ain't nothin' to the fog we had back
In seventy-nine. By gorry, boys, but
I that was a fog, an' no mistake! Why,
it was so thick that when I went oat
to the barn one night to feed the ani
mals I had to git three o' the farm
hands to come along behind me an'
push me through it."
"Yaas." said Hiram Wigley, the egg
king, "that was surae fog. I remember
that there sevetity-nine affair very
well, but It warn't a marker alongside
o' the two we had In seventy-eight,
when me an' Joe SP.lsbcc had to take
a plow to cnt oi:r way through to the
benhouse, an', by singer, when we
got there we fc-jnd the hens a-settin'
on It lnstld of on their nest-;, an' some
of 'em laid eggs right on o it like as
though It was tnflde o' hay, b'gosh!"
"Yaas," put In old Grnnther Smoggs,
the village patriarch, "thetu there two
fogs was dandles, an' everything you
fellers says abont 'cm Is gospel trewth,
but fer real fog ye'd oughter been
around here back !n my young days.
I tell ye they was solid, them days.
Why, we boys used to set on the fence
down In front o' the little chapel an'
make fog balls outen 'cm an' peg 'em
at people ns they went by. Seems to
me I ain't seen no fogs sence that time
that we could make snowballs ont of.
