White Wax.

1t will be a surprise to large number
of our American women to be told that
the white wax, of which they make such
constant use when engaged i'll their
household sewing, is the diseased secre-
ton of a peculiar species of fly found in
the eastern portions of Central China.
Most of our c1untrywomen, if they have
given a thought to the subject, hay sup
posed that this white wax was some re-
fined product ot ordinary -wax-an
article that has about it the conditions of
cleanliness and healthfulness, which is
more than can be said of exudations Of
insects due to some bodily malady.
These flies apparently become diseased
from feeding on the leaves of particular
kind of evergreen tree OF shrub of which
they are exceedingly fond. The twigs of
these trees In certain seasons Of the year
are thickly covered with flies, who, in
time, leave upon them a thick incrusta-
ton of white matter When this has
increased to sufficient size the branch
is cut off and immersed in boiling water,
which causes the wax to come to the sur
face in the shape of viscid substance,
which is skinned off, cleansed, and
afterward allowed to cool in pans. The
trade in this article is quite an extensive
one, as it is estimated that last year the
crop was worth not less than 50 $50, 000

fully examined. Those in good plight at
once killed. The others are fattened
When kept in a yard, the walls are
smeared with something so obnoxious to
the feline nature that no cat will pass it.
A recent visitor to Ludlow street yard
says: "It presents most amusing spec
tacle. About 100 cats of all sizes, colors
and ages were sleeping, eating quarrel
ling and caterwauling; all grades being
represented, from the handsome Angora
and Maltese to the homely backyard
Tom. When considered fit for eating
the cats are sold to small butchers who
make a speciality of cat sausage. The
delicacy has a ready sale, which is ever
increasing. Those who indulge in it de-
clare cat meat superior to any rabbit.
