Insect Products.

While insect products are not numer-
Gus In comparison with the number of
insects, there being nearly 800, 900
species known, the commercial products
are IN several cases of very great value.
The silk worm is the most useful of
insects, furnishing the world an annual
product valued at over S2bo.0O0,0o0.
The United States every year imports
over 81 600, coo worth of cochineal, while
many OF the gums brought from the
East are produced by the insects pierre
ing the barks Of certain trees and thus
causing the emulation. The quantity
of honey annually stored up by bees
amounts to many millions of pounds
and the wax is almost equally valuable.
Gallnuts, from which valuable kind Of
ink is made, are caused by insects,
while more than one kind is used in
medicine. In some parts OF Asia and
Airicaa large share OF tine peoples food
is supplied " the swarms OF locusts, so

THE LITTLE SHOES.
By WILL P. CHAMBERLAIN.

A pair OF little slippers,
Or shoes, no matter the name,
/ sometimes meet as | rummage,
And sigh betrays the pain
That fingers in my bosom;
And sit In the garnet there
In thought Of vanished summer
That gave bud most rare.
You would forgive the tear-drop-
Tho men must be firm, they say
If you knew of the blossom which faded
And fell with the flowers Of May;
Or how on the quiet hillside,
We broke the carpeted sod
And laid away our portion
OF the angel returned to God.
Unsung sleep these dear secrets.
And only now and then
Are We permitted to wander
Away from the marts of men
To dwell with our household treasures
And their history, as we choose
Dreaming such dreams as mine to-day
OF this little pair Of shoes.
