Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-05-11

Sometimes it is asserted that no per. son can honestly acquire wealth amounting to S1,OOOOOO, says one writer. With some political speakers this is favorite assertion. The many and vast opportunities for acquiring wealth in this country make it easily possible for one to accumulate millions as honestly as thousand dollars may be obtained. Men who have lived in poverty all their lives in indifferent forms have suddenly become immense ly wealthy through the discovery of oil, or coal, or iron, or some valuable mineral on their land. Honest invest ment sometimes yields large fortunes. The building of a railroad at town sometimes yields fortune to the own CTS of land formerly of little value. A fortune may come through an inven- tion that is of great benefit to mankind. A man like Edison is honestly entitled to his wealth. No man creates wealth; he merely develops it, increases its worth by converting it into the form of greatest utility. The man. who grows honestly wealthy while develop ing wealth that contributes to the gen. eral benefit or convenience is honestly entitled to his acquisitions.

fc,lis t.ofs,ye YOUNG MAN AND WIFE.

The suburbs and small towns offer special advantages to those who must live on narrow incomes and who yet have taste for the refinements of so- cial converse, good books and good pictures. These are the places to which other persons similarly situated have already gone, and in them one can find the perfection of neighbOrly life and mutual helpfulness. Indeed, the very fact that your nelghbOrs know all about your business and your income, unpleasant as 1t doubt less is at first. serves as a corrective of the sham which comes to be second nature to the dweller in cities. accus- toned either to have or to initiate the having of number of quite superfiu- 0rs things.
 As, for example, the city woman confesses to the necessity of doing her own work is rare, indeed, while the country dweller Is long past any sense of shame in this regard. Help" is so hard to get and so incompetent that most women of health and abii- fly dispense with 1t altogether. A friend receiving your afternoon call, etts up III tht uIilult bl tHe cudl, hnu, without thought of apology, goes into the kitchen to take the ginger bread out of the oven. her unembar- rassed talk floating back over her re- treating shoulders with flavor as sweet and homely as that of the spicy bread itself.
 Now that machinery is at last in- vading the kitchen, it is no longer ne- cessary to give up the life of reading and music and social graces generally in order to get along without a ser want. One young woman. having set her mind and heart upon marrying a poor young lawyer. and receiving the enthusiastic support Of wealthy uncle. who said he admired her cour- age too much to spoil 1t by any gift of money. received from him a dIsh- washing machine.-Pilgrim.

WAX FARMING IN CHINA.

Among the novel occupations in China is that of the wax farmer. The
 entire crop is produced by the labor of
 or cocOons deposited on the limbs and
 branches yield a rich harvest, which is transformed into pure white wax and marketed at fair price. The tree (ligustrum lucidum) which produces the
 white wax insect, grows in the Chien-
 chang valley in the western part of
 China, which Is some 5000 feet above
 the level of the sea. In March round
 brown forms are seen attached to the
 limbs and branches. If one of these
 should be opened 1t would be found to
 contain innumerable white insects. By
 a strange law the insect will not four
 ish or produce wax in it's birthplace.
 and if allowed to remain will drop of
 in dead mass. The Chinese have dir' covered the exact locality where they Transporting the females to the various farming places some POO to 400 miles distant in the province of Sczechuan gives employment during the season to thousands of porters. One of these wax-making centers is Kiating.
 About May 1 the female insect is nearly grown, and the body is almost conical, with a round base. Later on it becomes mature and begins to de. posit eggs. At this time the operation Of removing the females from the limbs and branches to which they are attached and getting them ready to turn over to the porter for transit is commenced. They are thereafter car ried hundreds of miles to the places where the wax farmers have rows of the special food plant-a species of Towering ash five or six feet high upon which the insects feed and dc, posit their layers of wax.
 Many thousands of insects are taken by each man on trip. They have to travel entirely at night with their deli. cate and precious loads, for the mid day heat would be dangerous to the lives of the inmates. The various cities and village along the route leave the gates open, so as to afford free and un- obstructed passageway to the carriers. Seen at night, running with all their might, lanterns swaying to and fro, the carriers form weird and pic turesque sight.-Chicago News.

A new phase of the eastern war has begun to manifest itself in the starving widows and children who throng the streets of St Petersburg, and clamor in vain for bread, says an exchange. The distress is so widespread and acute that charitable efforts have failed, and the sufferers have turned to the effete government for aid. Thus far the ap- peals have not met with very grati- flying degree of success, the authorities promising to appoint commissions to consider the question. The human mind can scarcely grasp the degree of misery that this wretched war has cost the common" people of Russia. They have paid the cost in roubles, fought the battles. suffered and died like flies, and now the additional horrors of star vation and sickness among the widows and orphans are added to the price all ready paid to keep weak and vacil- hlTph o and horde of brutal grand dukes, who have even stopped so low as to appro- priate the funds of the Red Cross for selfish needs, in power. Nero. who fiddled while Rome was in flames, and his lustful cohorts, surely did not evinee a more pronounced degree of barbaric selfishness than is shown to- day by the house of Romanoff, who heed the cries of the starving women and children, the widows of those who have died for Russia, with the forma- ton of commissions" and other de- tails of official red tape. a poor diet in- deed for the starving and hungry. It is hard to realize that we are living in the twentieth century. when ciyiliza- ton Is shocked by such details as is furnished by Russian history of to-day.

QUICK GROWING VINES.

Temporary vines are annuais that mature in a season and die in the fall. They should he planted in the same bed with permanent vines while the woody species are getting their growth. These annuals are of two kInds-those which are grown chiefly for their low CTS. and those which are grown to cover unsightly objects as quickly as possible.
 Morning glories fulfil both duties. Sweet peas are useful only for flow CTS: they generally become unsightiy themselves. The wild cucumber vine Is .o.1e of the best fast growing an- nuaIs for covering such places. al- though it's flowers are not showy and it quickly becomes a nuisance. 1t Is good enough to cover a rubbish heap, but there are better things for a good verands-
 There is no question that the two best taIl-growing hardy vines for foiI- age effect are the ampeIcpsis and yir- graia creeTer. the former being the best for brick and stone and the lat ter for wool AmPeiopsis requires 10 support because its beautiful little ten driIs. which look like baby hands. fas- ten onto every surface with a grip that cannot be shaken Virginia creeper re qUires support and is more wayward in it's growth so that fl often leaves large gaps of wall uncovered

TOMBSTONE FOR TWO.
Odd Monument for Bodies Buried Apart in Old Manhattan Cemetery.


 You have heard of hammocks and buggies built for two," said New Yorker, but did you ever hear of one tombstone erected for two bodies buri- ed distance apart?
 T found one in one of the old ceme- teries down in the lower end of Man haitian. The stone is quite old, and long since began to crumble The in- scription records that beneath lie the remains of one whose name appears, and then this:
 "' Not far away from this place also lie the remains of (the name follows who died few years later.'
 But there Is nothing to indicate where the remains are. The earth in the vicinity is flat and unmarked. l conclude that the man who erected that tombstone was an executor and had an eye to business"

FORCING FOOD FOR CALVES
Suggestion for Feeds Which May Be
 Used as Substitute for the Cows Milk.

The Pennsylvania experiment sta tion warns farmers to so slow on using the various calf meals" on the mar. ket. which purport to be milk substi tutes for young calves. While they are undoubtedly valuable as . supplement to . skim-milk ration, 30 far as the writer is informed they have not proven . success as complete milk substitutes Moreover, they are very expensive. the price ranging from $75 to Sl00 per ton. American writers, in discussing milk substitutes for calf feeding, have recon. mended hay tea. While this may do very well for calves four or five weeks old, q cited by Stewart in some observa- tions made by him. the writer is not aware that it has proven a successful substitute for calves that were much younger, while the dificulty of prepar- ing food of this kind makes 1t imprac- ticable except under unusual circum- stances.
 In England calf-meals are fed by nearlI avery stock-grower. and. as . large part. of the milk produced in the Kingdom is sent to the city for imme- diate consumption, the calves are put upon . calf-meai ration at as early an age as possible. Many calf-feeders buy the commercial calf-meals, while some of the most progressive farmers feed meals of their own mixing. As the in- gradients employed in the manufacture of these calf-meals are kept . secret, as far as possible, the composition of the most successful milk substitutes is not generally known. In some cases . chemical analysis has shown them to be composed largely of naxseed meal and linseed oil-cake meal, with . little fenugreek or fennel seed added to givs . characteristic odor.
 In the work at the Pennsylvania sta- ton reported upon, the writer took for his basis at the start . formula, recon. mended by one of the agricultural col. leges of England. This formula is as follows:

The directions were: Take two and one-half pounds of the meal as days allowance for each calf; scaid with boil. ing water, afterwards adding more wa ter. so as to make two gallons from the weight of meal; add little sugar, and salt before feeding. It should gradu- ally take the place of new milk after the first fortnight.

Big Cotton Mill Plant.

The purchasers of the Tennessee
Manufacturing Co.'S big cotton mill
plant will spend S205.000 for new
machinery with which 10 fit up Mill
No. 2, which is TO be run by W. r.
Odell and associates. Not long since
1t was announced that Mr.. Odell, OF
North Carolina, and number of local
capitalists had purchased the Tennes-
see Manufacturing Co.'S property in
North Nashville for $l45,0O0. That
these gentlemen are in earnest is
shown by the fact that they have
taken out their charter, that il has
been registered at the Office of the
Secretary of State and the company is
now in existence. The capital stock
of the company is placed at 100000,
and the new concern is to be known
by the corporate name of the Warioto
Cotton Mills. The purchasers will
hardly get possession of the property,
however, before July l, 1906, owing to
the fact that George Goodwin has a
lease on it until that time. Mill No.

Power and Mill Company.

The Anthony Shoal Power and Mill
Company has been purchased by John
H. Fitzpatrick, of Washington, Ga.
He expects to spend several hundred
thousand dollars in developing this
power, and will begin work at once.
Within a radius of 40 miles there is
now being used more than $4,000
steam horse power, at cost Of from
$50 to $50 per horse power, all of
which he will be in a position to
furnish at a lower rate. The shoals
are located about halfway between
Washington and Tiberton, and as soon
as the power is developed Mr.. Fitz-
patrick will have all arrangements
made for building an electric line be-
tween the two places. He also ex-
poets to build a cotton factory at
Washington and at the Shoals.
