GIRLS AS WAGE FARMERS.
Reaction Against Madness of Social
 Destruction of Late Years.

Reaction Against Madness of Social
 Destruction of Late Years.
 This idea that women should seek to become wage earners- should work for money'-is not one to be dismissed with mere phrase or two. Its grow ing effects are too pernicous to admit of that. The conditions which confront us are so different from the theories with which advocates of the economic independence of women seek to dazzle us, as to demand some reconciliation. One would suppose, to hear the argu- ment for it, that there is something di- rectly ennobling in such wage earning. It's advocates seem to hold the idea that the business world opens up vis- tas of intellectual advancement and en- franchisement. Anyone who has ever watched the stream of girl toilers pour ing down the minor avenues at s o'clock, or who has made study of the industrial pursuits, can judge how for they are elevated, or likely to- be, by their employment and it's remunera- tons. What we need is reaction against the madness of social destruc- ton that has of late years turned our girls into wage earners.-The House. hold.

KLoNDIKE's PRODUCT.

Within the next month the annual movement of Klondike gold toward Se- attle will begin. According to advice from Dawson, the spring cleanup is now we'll under way, and millions of dollars of gold dust will soon be washed from the great dumps that have been taken out during the winter months.
 With each succeeding season since the first discoveries, mining in the KlondilSe has assumed more business like aspect. The placer clean-ups are z not in some instances, so sensationally large as in the earlier days; but the field has been extended to cover bench and hillside work, large dredgeing and hydraulic. operations are prosecuted whenever the water is open, and the de- yelopment of quarts properties is steady and encouraging.
 From present indications this years production of the Klondike placers will be fully as large as last years, and the aggregate output of the district will un- doubtedly be greatly increased in the reduction of ores. There have been few important changes in the mining regu- lations, and none of these is calculated or is likely to reduce the proportion of the gold shipped to Seattle.
 < New strikes of richness that would have startled the world few years ago are frequently made in the Klon- dike nowadays, but excite only passing comment. The district is recognized as one of the greatest gold producers the world has ever known, and the occa- sional discovery of new sources of wealth within its boundaries is now ta- ken as a matter of course. When this springs cleanup is made, the Klon- dike, during the fey years of it's exis- tence, will have added between ninety million and one hundred million dollars to the worlds supply of gold. At least eighty per cent. of this tremendous out put has found and will find it's way to the government assay office, the banks and the safety deposit vaults of Seattle. Seattle ost-Intelligencer.

THE SMYRNA WASP.
One of the Most Valuable Of Recent
 Immigrants.

One of the Most Valuable Of Recent
 Immigrants.
 After more than twenty years of ex- pertinent fig-raising has become sue cess in the United States. The bulk of the figs produced in this country are grown in central California, and more than six thousand pounds of this once solely Oriental fruit are now shipped annually from the great fig belt"
 As figs are the most valuable of all wholesale fruits, being worth in the neighborhood of eighty dollars ton in their crudeest state, the discovery of the secret whereby the Smyrna fig can be made to thrive was one of considerable importance The first successfur effort to fertilize the fruit of the fig tree so that it will not become "soured" was made by George c. Roeding of Fresno in 1898.
 Unless the Smyrna fig is fertilized by certain wasp, "Blastophaga grosso- rum,'' the green fruit will not mature. To introduce this wasp from Smyrna, the only country in which it was found, was the problem which faced the fruit growers. For many years attempts had been made to introduce the wasp from Asia Minor The "Blastophaga" was brought across the ocean in glass cases and tenderly packed in cotton. But no sooner did it reach America than it died, and the expectations of fig grow CTS vanished. .s
 The Smyrna wasp breeds in the inedi- ble fruit of the wild fig, and in Smyrna branches of the wild figs are hung in the fig orchards at the proper time. Wild fig trees were introduced in Cali fornia and in the season of pollenization their branches were hung in the or chards. But without exception the wild figs and the wasps within them per ished and it was not until the depart ment of agriculture co-operated with Mir Roeding that the wild fig tree and the wasp were successfully imported.
 The first trees were carefully wrapped in cheesecloth and then put into her medically sealed glass cases. Even af- ter they were transplarted the utmost care was taken to prevent them from being subjected to any injury or sud- den changes of climate. After the sec ond year the figs were tried in the open at Niles, Cal. Once acclimated they grew with great vigor Now they can stand all weathers and are found throughout the great fruit belt in cen- tral California.
 The young wasp emerging from the wild fig bears upon it's wings heavy pollen discernible through the micro scope The wasp enters the Smyrna fig at the open end and the pollen causes the fruit to develop rapidly and to ri- pen, The wasp has three generations each year, which are produced in three successive crops of the wild fig, known as the winter, spring and summer crops, The wasps emerging from the spring crops fertilize the Smyrna figs.
 This year California's fig crop is we'll over half a million dollars, and if the young trees now growing bear well the ensuing annual crop will amount to sev- eral times that sum.-New York Sun.

And Now the Small Boys No Longer
 Feast on Dead Mems Food.

And Now the Small Boys No Longer Feast on Dead Mems Food.
 No longer will the foreign devil" in
 the guise of the small boy, enjoy feast at the expense of the spirits of the Chinese who have died and been
 buried in Philadelphia, the city of
 brotherly love. For the slow thinking | and conservative Chinamen has, by
 reason of repeated experiences, learned
 that food from which the spirit has de- parted is as relishable to the Celestial
 as it is to the American palate.
 Last Sunday was Decoration day for
 the Chinese, and several hundred of , them journeyed to the cemetery at Twenty-frst stret and Passyunk ave-
 nue, not only to honor their ancestors,
 but also to provide them with food, for it is their belief that the spirits of the departed need spiritual food just as the
 material body requires material sub stance.
 @OAit dlOilS dL IceiSI LNSh- ty carriages, filled with Chinamen, de-
 parted for the burial grounds and in addition to these there were delega- tions from many other sections of the city. These ancestral worshippers car ried all manner of appetizing viands and delicacies to be placed upon the graves. When they arrived at the grounds the food, the piece de resist
 ance of which was large roast pig,
 was placed over the graves Then large quantities of incense were lighted, and it was while this was burning that the spirit which pervades the food was sup posed to be partaken of by the spirits of the dead.
 In previous years it was the custom as is the case in China-to leave the food upon the graves. Usually it dis appeared the next day, and for awhile the. superstitious wearers of the queue
 were inclined to believe that this dis
 appearance was due to some superna- tural cause. But when it was discover ed that gang of small boys made a practice of visiting the graveyard the day after the decoration. the Chinamen began to think differently. As result,
 the roast pig, the tea and many other
 dishes peculiar to the Celestial were on
 Sunday only left on the graves long
 enough for the spirit to leave them.
 They were then brought back to China town.
 As the average Chinaman is exceed ingly frugal, it is fair to assume that the food will not be wasted.-Philadel phia Inquirer.
