CHlNA'S SILK FESTIVAL,
Religious and SymboIical Services Per-
formed by the Empress

Religious and SymbOlical Services Per-
formed by the Empress.
We, who are always grateful to our
benefactors, honor the inventor of the
arJ OF sllk-culture with real perpetual
cult Besides the temples which we
have erected in all the corners of the
empire, her Majesty the Empress goes
every year at the Matching season, in
person, with all her suite, and in great
pomp, to the field Of the mulberry, to
sacrifice to the goddess who was the
queen OF the Emperor Hoang-T. After
the ceremony at the temple, Her
Majesty, followed by her ladies, goes
into the field, and, surrounded by the
farmers wives, cooks some mulberry
leaves and lays them on basket con-
tanning the newly Matched worms. The
festival is closed with her winding a
cocoon by way of setting an example, in
the presence of the people, and dis
tributing gifts to those persons who
have been reported by the authorities of
their villages as most worthy by reason
of their fidelity in attention to the care
of the silk-worms.
This ceremony, which is one OF the
most important of those her Majesty
has to perform during the year, is a
great incentive to the silk-raising popu-
lation, who can not neglect their own
work when they see their sovereign &C.
cupied in the same way. An OLE prov
erb says that ian idle farmer causes
two persons to die of hunger, an6 a
woqan WHO will not weave will see ten
dying of cold" The proverb illustrates
the value of encouragement, and shows
that silk-worm raising and weaving are
duties of the women.-General Tcheng'
Ki-Tong, in Popular Science Monthly.
