owner of n Bur-h Said to ho
Shipwreck.

A distinguishing characteristic of South
street is the appearance of the signs ‘over
the offices of the ship brokers and mer-
chants. New York signs are in themselves
a curious study. ranging as they do from
an expensive panorama in a Broadway win-
dow to a three-forsa-quarter hash placard
in n cheiip restaurant, each conveying the
impress of artistic finish in its execution and
of comfort in its promise to the persons for
whom it is intended. The sign of the ship
merchant is neither artistic nor expensive.
It is simply old. so very old, in some cases.
that the paint has been worn ad by the
wind and storm. leaving only a faint outline
of the letters in black or gold on a: coffee-
brown background. which might once have
been either white or black. for all a reusing
inspection will tell.

AN lNDlAlI DELICACY.
A Foal of Cookery That Astoulsbed n Civl.
lined Expert.

The Indians scattered along the foothilh
of the Sierra. says a Nevada correspondent.
are a quiet. inoffensive people. They do
not appear to be governed by any tribal
laws. yet adhere to many of their old tradi-
tions The tide of industry and civilization
sweeping over and around them has left them
greatly modified by the contact. and it!»
though they retain the original characteris-
tics of the race. in some respects they are
much improved. One or two tut-n of super-
ior ability and industry form a nucleus
around which others less ambitious gather.
Here they fence with brush and logs a tract
sufficient for their requirements of hayinak-
ing. pastor-age. .kc. They invariably build
their cabins upon the most sightly point.
even when the spring that furnishes their
water is half way down the hill. This habit
has no doubt descended from a warlike an~
cestry, and it is no testhestic delight in hazy
valleys and misty mountain tops. The gar-
dens are not. an assured success when water
is plentiful and the weather propitious.
They can not always wait for their matur-
ity. Many of them are industrious and lindrc
munerative work at wood-chopping. sheep—
shcaring. &c. Although they often indulge
in the food of civilized nations the acorn
is still a favorite article of diet in every
well regulated wigwam. The process of
converting this bitter nut into anything like
palatable bread is curious. Under the
branches of a grand old pine I found them
at work. They had shocked and ground in
the usual manner a large mass of acorn
meats, a number of circular vats had been
hollowed out of the black soil. much in the
shape of a punch bowl. Into thwc was put
the scorn pulp. At hand stood several
large clothes baskets filled with water. and
into these they dropped hot stones, thus
heating the water to the required tempera-
ture. Upon the mass of crushed bitterness
they carefully hdlcd the hot water, making
it about the color and consistency of cream.
Nata spook appeared to mix. A buxom
ninhala stood by each vat, and with a small
fir bough stirred the man, skilfully rcmov.
inc any speck that floated upon the surface.
The coil gradually absorbed the bittci
waters. leaving a firm. wbitc substance. 0:

His: Kellie Uncoln Rosaiter, the “young

conducting operations on a more extensive

scale than ever. The first of this season‘s

crop of silk worms is at its height. A visit

to Miss Retailer‘s residence. 605i Vine

street. West Philadelphia, will reveal to the

inquirer the complete process of silk culture.

from cocoon back to cocoon again. The

two juniors upon the first floor of the house

are occupied by Miss llossitcr‘s unique and

valuable silk collection. consisting of co-

coona and akeins of reeled silk from every

State in the Union and from France. Italy,

Turkey. indie. China and Japan and

of a bewildering assortment of embroidericl

and various decorative articles in silk, be-

Iidee her numerous diplomas and testimon-

ials. This collection has been described

numbers of times. but at present it has I

upon green bougha. while some of the

draperies in the front parlor are fantastical-

The worms beneath this one roof number

hundreds of thousands and all are in a per-

fcctly healthy condition. They lire about

there are moths to be seen. The silk worm
moth is smooth and of a uniform pearly

and may be known by his making a slight
buzzing noise. while the female is always

silent. The eggs of the silk worm are about
the size of u piu‘s head and vary in color
from ycllow to brown. in the thirdatory

are lici‘lial-s several ll‘l\llt‘i3 of thts year‘s

Seven natural shades have bee observed in
cocoons. including a pale pink nd a fawn.
brown.

Miss liossiter has made acre 1 interest-
ing experiments this season. which. if cnc~
awful. will give her fame as an innovator
as well as a pior‘eor in silk culture. One of
these is the rearing of :i new variety of silk
worms. known as " black thibcts.“ Ncently
imported from lndia. and which may be
distinguished from ordinary silk worms by
tiarkgray strings upon the. body. Another
is the crossing of different color~pr0iluo-
ing norms. with \li‘\\‘ of containing new
shades in cannons, .\ deeper yellow and
green have already been produced.

Mi»; llossiter also lsiliovos that the day is
not far distant when families can manufac-
ture their t-wn silk from the cocoon to the
completed fabric. Accordingly she iii ex~
pcrimcntnig in dyeing the reeled thread. in
spinning it and in weaving dress-patterns.
Already she has added to her stock of illl~
plcments a larger reel for unwinding the
silk from the cocoons. a Ipinniug~wheol
and a lmnddooni said to be capable of giv~
ing one hundred and fifty distinct effects to
a woven surface. Miss Nellie has secured
thc cooperation of Mr. John liaig. an Rugs

who has made her the loom. of his own in-

A WORD FOR THE CRANKS.

Cranks. my son? The world is full of
them. \Vimt would we do were it not for
the cranks? llow slowly the tired old
world would move did not the cranks keep
it rushing along. Columbus was a crank
on the subject of American discovery and
circunmavigatiou. and at last he met llit‘
fate of mo‘ cranks—was thrown into prisor
and died in poverty and disgrace. Greatly
venerated now? Oh. yes. 'l‘elemachus. we
usually esteem a crank most profoundly
after we starve him to death.. Harvey was
a crank on the subject of the circulation of
the blood ; Galileo was an astronomical
crank: Fulton was a crank on the subject
of steam navigation ; Morse was a tele-
graph crzink ; all the old Abolitionista were
cranks. The Pilgrim fathers wem cranks ;
John llunyan was a crank : any man who
doesn‘t think as you do, my son. is a crank.
And by and by the crank you despise will
have his name in every man‘s mouth, and a
hilf completed monument to his memo y
crumbling down in a dozen cities, while no—
body outside of your native village will know
that you ever lived. Deal gently with the
crank, my boy. or course. some cranks are
crankier than others, but do you be very
slow to sneer at a man because he know-1
only one thing and you can‘t understand
him. A crank. Telemachus. is a thing that
turns something. it. makes the wheels go
round. it insures progress. True, it turns
the same wheel all the time, and it can‘t. do
anything else, but that‘s what. keeps the ship
going ahead. The thing that goal in for
variety, versatility,“ changes in: position
ahuudredtimesaday, that is no crank;
that is the weather vane, my son. What!
You nevertheless thank heaven you are not
a crank? Don‘t do that. my son. Haybc
you couldn‘t be a crank if you would.
Heaven is not very particular when it want!

houses are easily distinguished. As a
rule. the rip-town boarding house presents
as solemn and decorons an exterior as the
other houses on the block until dinner time.
Then the fact that it is a boarding house
becomes apparent. Lights flare up from the
basement to the roof. and jolly looking men
in groups let themselves in at the front door
with night keys. After dinner the oldest
boarder, who is usually a corpulent man
with a bright auburn beard. strolls out

for awhile; and taking a cigar from his
pocket looks at it lovingly. and then, after
cutting the small end with great niccty.
lights the other end. selects the best corner
of the stoop. and awaits the coming of the
other lmaniera. They come one by one,
light their cigars. and sit upon the steps,
while the few ladies who remain in the
house select places for themselves, with
much chattering. on the balcony. At 7 or 8

Along Fifth avenue it is the rule for the

’families that have gone out of town to leave

some one in charge of their mansions. This

is usually an old family servant, and at 9

o‘clock one may see these watchmen sitting

in chairs in the court yards or on the lower

steps of the atoops. talking with one another

or listening to the talk of a policeman who

loafs along. with afew words for ea ~h famil-

iar watchman. At the hotels are thousand!

of men who are evidently from out of town.

They phi usually aelf~contained, reserved.

and guarded. and suspect every passer by

of being a bunco uterrer. They seldom vcn-

lure forth alone. City folks wonder why

they sit contentedly for hoursin'front of the

panorama afforded by the great lliohttlgli-

fare of New York iii the most interesting of
