FINANCES IN JAPAN.
Money Is Becoming Congested ir
Large Centers.


Large Centers.
According to the Japan Mail, the
changes that are steadily taking place
in the distribution of wealth in that
country are beginning to cause serious
uneasiness to the more Intelligent por-
ton of the nation. A leading natl re
paper, lately discussing the subject re-
marks that in consequence of the dis
appearance of feudal restrictions on the
freedom Of commerce and industry, and
of the introduction of improved means
of locomotion and correspondence,
there is an increasing tendency
Of the wealth Of the country toward
larger centers of business. 1t illustrates
this by various statistics. thus the
share which Toxic has in the interest
OF public loan bonds increased in three
years from 45 to SO per cent. The per.
centage of bank shares in possession of
Toxic increased from SO to 54 in two
years, similarly with shares in other
public companies, and also in the case
of the income tax. "ShOuld things go on
at this rate Japan will sooner or later be-
come, so 10 speak, the victim of brain con-
gestiOn." The malady is not confined to
the accumulation of wealth in Toxic
and other important towns. 1t is
equally noticeable tnat capital is con-
stantly passing into the hands of
small number of individuals. For in
stance, land, which is in the eyes of the
Japanese farmera great deal more than
mere property, something almost sacred,
which he is bound to maintain as the
legacy of his ancestors, is rapidly pass
ing out of the hands of the smaller pro-
prietors into those of rich men.
10 substantiate this assertion the
Toxic Journal refers to the
steady decrease in the NUMBER of
persons having the right of election to
local assemblies. In 1880 the total num-
Der of electors throughout the country
was 1,SO9,6l0; in 1887 it decreased TO
LASS, 10Y; while the numbers qualified
to be elected were S79,347 and SO2.975 in
the respective years. 1t next gives
table pointing to all alarming increase
of the poor. In 1889 persons receiving
public relief, on account of age, sick
ness and the like, aggregated 6,U47, but
the number steadily increased until it
reached Is. 1879 in 1887.

THE COOLING MOTH.
Remedies for This Pest-Arsenites Aloh,
Will Remove 1t.

Remedies for This Pest-Arsenites Alone
Will Remove 1t.
A correspondent sends US what some
writer-he does not state who-says
| about the codling moth. There is moth
ing new in it, but we comply with the
request to publish it. The old method
of placing bands about the trees was not
satisfac tory, somany would not practice
it, and so many who did put the bands in
place, neglected to examine them and
kill the worms, that this plan Justly lost
favor. A better method is to turn hogs
and sheep into the orchard. They will
eat the major half of the affected fruit.
By discreet thinning, using a forked
stick, we can give the hogs nearly all
the wormy fruit and the increased size
of the remaining fruit will pay for the
thinning.
The best way is to sprinkle all bear
ing trees with the arsenites two weeks
after the trees bloom, and then two and
four weeks later. Enough poison lodges
on the apples to kill the worms; but it
is all washed off long before the fruit is
fit to use. Three years trial proves
this remedy most excellent. Use one
pound of London purple to one hundred
gallons of water; draw it through the
orchard in an open barrel with float to
prevent stopping, and distribute by
means of fountain pump. The prac-
tice of this method makes it less neccs-
sary to place close wire screens over the
cellar windows in May, June and July.
Fires, or bottles of sweetened water, or
vessels of sour milk so often recon.
mended to destroy these insects, will do
no good whatever. What our corre-
spondent says he wishes to impress is
that the arsenites alone are remedy
and that everything else is simply
throwing away time ard effort.
