the centre was the cross or tree, the stamens the hammers, the styles the nails, the inner circle about the central pillar the crown of thorns, and the radiations the glory; the white in the flower the emblem of purity, and blue the type of Heaven. In the Passiflora alata drops of blood are seen on the cross or tree. The flower keeps open three days, and then disappears, denoting the Hesurrection. Sericulture in America. —The attention of the Pacific coast farmers has been .drawn to this industry by the success which is reported as having attended sericulture in the State of New York. A Californian paper, dated 30th May, .gives an account of one of the earliest experiments at Foot Hills, Foot Hills is the name given to a range of country reaching from the valleys of the Sacramento and San Joaquin up to an altitude of 2500 feet above sea level, having an extreme length of not less than 300 miles from north to south, and an average width of 30 to 40 miles. Mr. Bernhard, the experimenter referred to, who has a farm and orchard, made two years ago an attempt at the business, but from some neglect his worms all died. Last year he tried again, and succeeded in hatching about 40,000 worms, which made about six pounds of silk. Owing to the lack of sufficient food the cocoons were small, and hence the second year his. efforts were only partially successful. This, his third year, the prospects are much better. If the 40,000 worms had had plenty of food last year, they would have produced about ten’pounds of silk. This year everything bids fair for them doing very well, and if they do, at the same rate, the 1,000,000 worms will produce 250 pounds, which, when spun, will yield about 200 pounds, worth at the lowest csfcimste 10 dol. per pound, or 2000 dol. The labour with them lasts some six or eight weeks, and in this ca r e Mrs. Bernhard and the children do it all, at. odd times, besides attending to their regular household duties. For Medicinal Purposes.—The “Maine law’ excepts from prohibition spirituous liquors for medicinal purposes. Yet the truth is that the common liquors of commerce thus favorably excepted are poisonous to the sick. A pure stimulant wisely medicated with tonic and alterative vegetable agents is what the weak and feeble need, and it has been provided in Udolpho Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, The restorative properties of this famous invigorant, as manifested in cases of dyspepsia, general debility, .rheumatism, nervous tremors, low spirits, kidney disease, and intermittent fever, are admitted to be unequalled. It is the supreme tonic of the present age. Important.— Settlers and Visitors from the country when paying a visit to Wellington, and requiring drapery Men’s. Youths’, and Boys’ Clothing—it must be a matter of great importance for them to learn where, as cash purchasers, they can depend on receiving the best value for their money.
