Why Is Black Worn For Mourning?We think of our way of life as the only one, and when we learn about other civilizations, we are often shocked, or at least surprised. When we mourn somebody, we naturally wear black. When Were Silkworms First Used?Silk is the thread or cloth made from the fine web of the silkworm, a certain kind of caterpillar. The web is actually a cocoon that the worm spins during a stage of its development into a moth. The secret of making silk thread and cloth was known to the Chinese about 4,000 years ago. How Long Have Handkerchiefs Been Used?Some form of handkerchief has been used by man since the very earliest times. Probably the first form of handkerchief was the tail of a jackal which was mounted on a stick. Primitive people used this as both a handkerchief and a fan. |
