The common heroisms of life
are anyhow the real heroisms ;
the impressive heroisms ; not the
military kind , not the political :
kind ; just the ordinary world
kind , the bits of brave conduct
happening about us ; things that
don't get into the papers ; things
that the preachers don't thank
God for in their pulpits-the real
things , nevertheless - the only
things that eventuate in a good
harvest.-Walt Whittt1"'d.n.

WAX FARMING BY CHINESE.
Crop Is Produced by Myriad of Little
Insects-Yield Rich Harvest
to Jl'll ' ntals
Among the novel occupations
in China is that of the wax farmer.
The entire crop is produced by the
labor of myriads of little insects ,
whose eggs 01' cocoons deposited
on the limbs and brunches yield a
rich harvest , which is trans.
formed into pure white wax and
marketed at a fair price. The tree
( JigustruDl lucidum ) which pro.
duces the white wax insects grows
in the Chienchang valley in the
western part of China , which is
5,000 feet above the level of the
sca. In March : round brown forms
are seen attached to the limbs and
brunches. If one of these should
be opened it would be found to
contain innumerable white in-
sects. By u strange law the insect
will not flourish 01' produce wax
in its birthplace , and if allowed to
remain will drop off in a dead
mass. The Chinese have discovered -
ered the exact locality where they
will flourish to the best advan-
tage. Transporting the females
to the various farming places
some 200 to 400 miles distant in
the province of Szechuan , gives
employment during the season to
thousands of porters. One of
these wax.making centers is Kia
tinge
- -
.
About May : 1 the female insect
is nearly ] grown , Hud the body is
almost conical , with u round base.
Later on it becomes mature and
begins to deposit eggs. At this
time the operation t of removing
the females from the limbs and
brunches to which they are attached .
t ached and getting them ready
to turn over to the porter for trait-
sit is eomUl nccd. ' rheJ are thereafter .
after carried hundreds of miles to
the places where the wax farmers .
ers have rows of the special food
plant-a species of flowering ash
five OJ' six feet high-upon which
the insects feed and deposit their
layers of wax. I
Many thousands of insects are
taken by each man on a trip. They
have to l'avel , entirely at night
with their delicate and precious
loads , for the midday beat would
be dangerous to the lives of the
inma tes. The various cities and
villages along the route leave the
gates open , so us to afford free ,
and unobstructed passageway to '
the carriers. Seen at night , running . j
ning with all their might , dressed '
in most cases in rainproof straw , ;
their flickering lanterns swaying
to and fro , the carriers form a :
weird and pict11l-esque sight.
