China's Wax-Making Insects.
eom Harper's Weekly

Z rom harper "cchly
On the border line between China and
Tibet there is a native industry which is
not only novel in many respects. but in
wolves pilgrimage of great length each
year. This industry consists in the breed
ing of insects that raise wax. This wax
Is employed in various parts of China for
the making of temple images and candles.
These curious insects are about the size
and shape of shoe buttons. Their most
peculiar characteristic is that they do not
secrete the wax in their birthplaces. Ac-
cordingly, about May each year the ma
tives take them from the branches Of the
trees where they were born and convey
them many miles away across the noun
tains. They are carried to a part of the
country wherein grows the Towering ash
upon which the insects delight to feed
and to deposit the wax
It is a strange procession that proceeds
from the Chien-Chang valley every spring.
Each porter carries two bamboo baskets
fastened together with curved sticks
These fit over the shoulders. one basket
being before and the other behind. The
mans burden consists Of gourds contain
ing the insects, which are wrapped in
leaves from the wood oil tree. The fe-
males are then almost ready to lay their
eggs.
The porters set out at nishfali. for all

National Shrines.
,om the New York Mai

from the New YORK Mall.
According to an official report. the
home of Washington at Mount Vernon
was visited during the last fiscal year by
113,OO0 persons The fees received from
the visitors amounted to $oo,2JO
In view of the fact that Mount Vernon
is less accessible than some others of our
national shrines the number Of its yearly
visitors speaks well for the vitality of
American patriotism. The Washington
Monument probably attracts A still larger
number, and the same is doubtless true
of Bunker Hill monument and of Inde
pendence Hall. Those historic structures
possess an ever-increasing charm, and
there is hardly an American boy or girl
who does not cherish the hope of visit
ing them.
So far as the number of visitors is con-
cerned, it Is likely that Grants tomb
stands first among the shrines Of the re-
public No other monumental structure
in America is looked upon by SO many
persons in the course Of year.

their travelling must be done at night.
The journey is about 400 miles Upon
the conclusion thereof the porter imme-
dately goes to the master of the in
dustry and delivers his burden of goods
At once the leafy bags are tied on the
branches of the ash trees, which are only
five or six feet high. A blunt needle is
pushed through the leaves in the bag In
order that the insects may find their way
out. Once they have left, they creep rapid
ly up to the leaves of the trees and begin
to feed. In short time they have scat
tered along the branches and soon the
eggs are Matched and the wax is being
deposited on the twigs. By September l
the trees look as though ley were COW
cred with snow. The branches are then
cut off and their coating Is scraped away
The wax is heated. strained and turned
into the molds.
In addition to the purpose above men,
toned. this wax is also used for illumina-
ton, 1t serves as a polish for furniture.
and It Is useful in imparting a gloss to
silk
The industry is said to have been known
in the thirteenth century.

GOOD farming, which show
ed to such a remarkable ad-
vantage in the dry years, is al
SO returning dividends this
year. It is true that even slip
shod methods, under the ideal
conditions of 1912, produced
fair results but the farmers
who titled deep and we'll, who
conserved moisture, who put
into practice the best methods
of agriculture have reaped their
reward in larger yields, cleaner
fields and more virile soil. Let
us keep up the good work and

Mr.. RoosEvELT is strong on

poses is worse than the disease.
He would have the country

sive republicans, when they
understand the three links in
the chain which he is ging.
First-Accept the trust as a
permanent institution and thus
encourage the consolidation of
all business into great nonopo-
lies.
Second-W Withdraw from the
states all power to restrain
private monopolies and then
trust to bureau at Washing
ton to regulate these monopo-
lies.
Third-Remove all limita-
tons as to number Of presiden.
tial terms sand leave the presi-
dent to use the bureau which
he appoints to coerce the
monopolies which the bureau
controls, and through the mon
opolies, the employees and the
business public into continuous
denominations and reflections
and thus convert the chief ex-
.ecutive into a president for
life.
This is the most audacious
attempt that the country has
yet seen to set-up one-man
government and maintain it by
the influence which. the execu-
tive can bring to bear through
