Pious Wife of Wall Builder Remembered at Shanhuilwan
In China, a temple near the Great Wall marks the story of a devoted wife who toiled to locate her husband’s bones entombed in the brickwork. She pleaded with the emperor, cried tears of devotion, and finally hurled the bones into the sea before ending her own life. The tale explains a permanent breach in the wall commemorating her steadfast piety.

Peppermint Oil Prices Rise on Short Supply In Midwest
Local observers report peppermint oil gaining value as frost and heat cut supply in Michigan and Indiana, the top 60 percent of world production. Prices climbed through late summer, peaking near four dollars per pound, with normal output around 400000 pounds annually. Peppermint thrives in mucky soil along the Indiana Michigan border, where farms are small and dual harvests occur each summer. The crop era began after 1849, with earlier imports from England setting the stage.
