Well, after this we was to bump into
England for a minute, and then come
home, and by now l had the entire
trip planned only for the nuisance OF
packing.
When / commenced to think of
that, l begun to wonder what would
we do with the dog while we was
gone, who would feed the canary,
and hadn't we really ought to rent
the house furnished during them
months, and could get Annie
Gooch, our Southern nanny of 16
summers, to help me put it in order
to rent, and by the time I had got
this far / was absolutely exhausted,
called 1t pleasure trip, when
talking on the phone, come in the

faction.
Well grille, he says, I put IT over.
That was old General Buster on the
phone just now, and I can have the
lot at the right price. It's a wonder
full investment for US, and I've told
him I'll let him know definitely to-
morrow. Now it's up to you-shall
we buy that place or take the trip
around the world?
Take the house and lot, / says with
a sigh of relief. I'm entirely toe

worms and weaving silk. Wusih has
now Is great silk filatures, or fac
tories where the cocoonS are bolled
and steamed and wound off into the
beautiful skeins of silvery white
yarns used in our silk mills. In ad-
dition to this there are thousands or
houses. both in the city and country
alike, in which silk is reeled OF.
Wusih has also great cotton mills,
operated by modern machinery, weav-
ing mills, flour mills, knitting mills
that make silk stockings, some of
which go to the United States and
Europe, and, indeed, so many fac
tories that their great white stacks
vomiting smoke make forest sur
rounding the town.
ID ISING. out of the plain near Wusih
IN is the beautiful mountain of
Weisan, which these superstitlous
people believe guards the silk IN
dustry. 1t is perhaps a thousand feet
high and it commands the rich plain.
At it's foot gushes forth stream or
water which is said to be the second
most famous spring under heaven,
and nearby are lovely gardens and
temples On a certain day each year
thousands OF women, the wives and
daughters of silk farmers, make pill
grimages to this mountain. Each
woman has with her thousands or
eggs of the silkworm, which she car
ries in her bosom under her clothes,
where she matches them out with the
heat of her body. She believes that
the spirits which inhabit the noun
tain will appreciate the worship
shown in this visit to their shrine
and that the cocoons which are spun
by the worms thus produced will be
large and free from disease.
During my stay in the city I have
been interested in seeing the silk
worms in their different stages of
growth. They have to be fed regu-
larly on the mulberry leaves from
the time they are born They go into
one sleep after another, during each
of which they shed their skins, and at
the end they spin their cocoons. The
feeding is done in rooms kept at an
even temperature, the worms living
in baskets about three feet in di-
ameter and the mulberry leaves being
laid on top. They eat right through
the leaves and will consume a great
quantity within short time.
When they are of the right age and
are about as long as my little finger
and sometimes almost as big around
they are ready to start Climbing the
mountain" This is the common ex-
preston used here for spinning the
cocoon. The mountain" Is a bunch OF
rice straw loosely tied in the center
This bunch is stood upon end and
the worms dropped down between the
straws. They climb to the top of the
straws and there fasten one end OF
the silk threads from their mouths
Then they throw their heads back
and forth as they pull out of their
mouths the long, fine silk fiber and
wind it about their bodies. A num-
ber of worms is put in each bunch
of straw, and at the end there is thai
number of cocoons, each with its
worm inside. The cocoons are ther
taken out and, with the exception ol
q few laid aside for breeding puE.

and realize where them poor foreign
ers didn't have the kinda modest
bringing up like we get in America,
and didn't know nothing about one
piece bathing suits and evening
dresses and other such garments
which was meant to wear in public.
1 would leave all that to time and
Gen. education and merely enjoy my
self among the cherry blossoms, al
though I personally myself would
prefer in some ways to reach Japan
when the cherry blossoms was gone
and the cherry pies had commenced.
Well, anyways, according to this
book Geo. had brought home, the boat
would stop at the Philippine Islands,
and think of the chanct to buy Ma
Mia handmade underwear! l could
just figure where 1 would get it
pretty near as cheap as down to one
of the Emporium's white sales.
There was something else made
out there in them islands. too. that I
suppose every tourist had ought to
bring home few of, but l wasn't real
sure at the moment whether it was
called Insurrectos or Appropriations,
but anyways l set it down on my list
to be sure and get a few as native
souvenirs.

no one in our party would buy one
of them things. L do hate having
them around the house, on account
somebody who don't really know how
to handle them Is liable to pick 1t up
carelessly any minute.
No wonder they got the biggest
active volcano in the world out in
them Hawaiian Islands. Why even
over here, with all the ukes going.
it's a wonder to me this U. S. A.
country amt developed few VOL
canoes already.
Well anyways, they got something
else out in them islands, a thing
called Hulas, but I had kinda in
stinctive feeling / and Geo. wasn't
going to get any of them any more

Matches to bring home.

children Of Kindergarten Age Work Many Hours Day

week. and for IL months of the year
Their only holidays come at New
Year, when the factories of all China
are closed for two weeks.
AS / watched the little ones at work
the manager called my attention to
the stools, which they were not using,
and to the fact that the kettles of
boiling water over which they were
bending were SO low that they could
stir the cocoons without reaching up.
He said this made the work very
much easier, and that in some of the
factories the kettles were placed high
for grown women, so that the little
girls had to reach up to do their work
I asked as to the wages, and my
guide told me that he overstated
them when he said the women got
II cents and upward a day, and the
children 10 cents. This means that
these babies were toiling for less
than 1 cent an hour under the stick
of the taskmaster. in an atmosphere
much like that of washerwoman' S
kitchen when she is boiling the
clothes. 1t gave me striking ex-
ample of child labor in China.
