The Worlds Favorite Food.

Rice is, no doubt, the most extensively
used article of food the world over.
Hundrens of millions of people subsist
on it, and its consumption is increasing.
1t is the principal diet of at least one
third of the human race, forming the
chief food of the native population of
India, China, Japan, Madagascar, many
parts of Africa, and, in fact, of almost
all Eastern nations. The Burmese and
Siamese are the greatest consumers of it.
A Malay laborer gets through fifty-six
pounds month; Burmese and Siamese
fortysiX pounds in the same period.
The Eastern nations chiefly obtain their
beverages from rice, which is the prin-
cipal grain distilled in Siam, Japan and
China. Saki, or rice beer, is produced
in Japan to the extent of $50, 1000, 600
gallons annually. Although rice is such
a universal article Of food, it is not as
nourishing as wheat and some other
grains, More than nine-tenths of its
substance consists of starch and water.
Consequently it forms more fat than
muscle. : New York Dispatch

THE ROOF OF THE WORLD.
Experiences of French Prisoners in
Central Asia

At recent meeting of the Paris Geo
graphical Society, Dr. William Capus,
who has been the fellow traveller of NJ M.
Bonvalot and Pepin in their Central Asian
tours, gave an interesting account of the
Pamir, or "the roof of the world" In
the course of the lecture he described an
incident which occurred to the French
travellers in Chitral. He said:
"After the Afghans at Sarhad had en-
deavored in vain to detain us, partly by
persuasion and partly by force, we crossed
the Hindoo Koosh by the Baroghii Pass,
which is only 10, 800 feet high Without
guides, pack horses, and almost without
food, we reached the Fort of Mastuj,
where the Chitralis opposed our going
further in the direction of India. While
Bonvalot remained at Mastuj 1 went with
Pepin to Chitral, the capital of the coun-
try, situated three or four days march to
the southwest. The King of Mchtar,
named Amman ul Mulk, made us prison
ers the very moment we entered his town,
and he thus explained his action; You
wear Russian boots, Russian money, you
speak Russian with your servant and you
come from Russian territory-you must
be Russian spies And he caused us to
be closely watched, stopped our cores
pondence and sent for instructions to
Lord Dufferin, for the English make use
of this chief as sentinel in the direction
of the Pamir
'During the long days of our incarcer-
alton, when we could only walk on tho
grass in front of our tent under the eyes
of our guard, we saw the king pass daily
to take part in the much-loved game of
polo, accompanied by a grotesque caval-
cade, and placed in the midst of his
courtiers, who surrounded his horse, and
whose heads he made use of to support
himself, as we do cane. The king has
thirty wives and sixty children. lie is
siXty-five years old. l acquired a great
medical reputation by extracting a wasp
from "A boys ear, and the king sent to
consult me about his favorite wife. She
had broken her leg, but the king would
not let me see it, asserting that the
European tahib, or doctor, had powders
that cured everything. To give him
pleasure, if not his wife, gave him some
quinine and mercurial ointment"

Diamonds in Her Teeth.

About two years ago an article ap-
peared in a jewelers. magazine stating
that a New York belle had hired den
hst to set diamond filling in sound
tooth in order to add seeming luster
to her already dazzling teeth. Many
other newspapers took the matter up,
and for a while diamonds in the
teeth" was subject of much consider
alton.
The truth of the matter has Just
come to light. 1t appears that hall
q dozen members of prominent den
tai association had congregated in their
New York clubhouse, and were dis.
cussing methods, means, and ways oi
filling teeth. One of the men present
was something of goslin in his pro!
fession, and one of the older men de.
cided to give him sage stufing AS
matters went on and discussions arose
and dropped, the elder man remarked,
with sly wink to his companions, that
he had received an extraordinary order
the previous day. In fact, he had filled
a beautiful woman's front teeth with
small diamonds.
OF course his companions expressed
une greatest SUI PRISE dt uHiS new pro
ceeding in dentistry, and the goslin in
question seemed much impressed with
this novel idea.
Shortly afterward the company
broke up, but another question had
been asked and answered, so the matt
ter was forgotten long before they left
The club. A few days later the perpel
traitor of the joke was surprised to see
an article in one of the newspapers
relative to the new fad young women
were adopting, that was "having tiny
diamonds set in their front teeth
whether the teeth We're perfect or i'm
perfect"
This was the origin of the "fake,
and in o short while the new fad was
talked of all over the United States.
The truth has at last leaked out, and
it is now known that no such thing
ever existed. The goslin discussed the
subject with friend, who in turn re.
peated it to reporter. The latter
wrote an article on the subject, and
then every one else discussed the mat
ter and believed it. So much for the
credulity of the world.-Neao Yorh

garment, and while it is growing he Is
known as "comer." In day or two,
when this under skin is completed, he is
shedder," and then he is best fitted
for bait, because his hard shell can then
be stripped off, leaving the leathery in
tegument entire.
In single day the "shedder" parts
his shell and becomes buster" and in
few hours he will throw off his shell,
crawl out of it entirely and commence to
swell and stretch out his elastic covering
Then he is a soft crab par-excellence
On the night of the day the crab divests
himself of his misfit shell he is in the best
condition for frying. In another day, if
he is not taken from the water, his new
covering becomes like parchment, and in
twelve hours more the parchment hardens
so that it just yields to pressure. Then
he is known as "buckler," and is of
little use except as broiler.
The crab fishing business is put down
at half million dollars per year by the
Fish Commission, and probably the esti-
mate is by no means complete.
The crabs are caught in summer by
batting set lines with tripe or fish and the
catch per man will average sixty dozen
day. All the soft crabs taken during
the summer are sent to market and in
May and early June the only soft crabs
to be found in New York come from
Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina.
In the latter part of June soft crabs begin
to be caught in Jersey waters, and the
price then declines. Taking,a crab out
of water arrests the process of develop
ment and packed in sea weed in a cool
place the shedder or soft crab will re-
main alive for several weeks without un-

Shaving the Widows.

Shall the widows be shaved? That
is the great question that is at present
causing agitation among the BARRIERS of
Bombay. To Western ears the subject
sounds trifie comic, but in the land
of the Orient it has very different
and very serious meaning. In India
it has always been customary to shave
the heads of widows Immediately upon
the death of their husbands. OF late
murmurs and protests have been
heard, and the native journals have
been calling for reform. The BARRIERS
have commenced to coincide with these
more enlightened views, and it is ex-
pected will refuse to perform the re-
qulred tonsorial operation. .
The Brahpoins have threatened that
they will use the scissors themselves,
but this is believed to be impossible,
as it would result in their losing caste
"a very important consideration with
religious self-respecting b. ahmin.
Up country, says an Indian contempo-
rary, the practice of shaving the wild
ow's head is not so persistently enforced
as in Bombay. The hair is allowed to
grow again, and the widow has only to
submit to renewal of the unwelcome
operation when she visits a shrine Of
special sanctity.
In Bombay widows are shaved regu-
larly once week, and this causes them
deep distress. 1t would really appear
as if the widow in India was regarded
with the same touching affection and
reverential regard as the mother-in-law

Crabs of Chesapeake Bay.

Crisfeld, Md, furnishes most of the
crabs all the year around for the markets
OF the leading cities of this country The
crabs are caught in Chesapeake Bay, and
are packed in crates or barrels for ship
ment. Over half the inhabitants of the
town make their living out of grabbing.
There is secret about the success of
Crisfield grabbing. The crabber here
never ships female crab. When one of
the female sex is scooped up in the crab
ber's net it is always thrown back into
the bay. Crabs are caught during every
month in the year and in all stages of de-
velopment.
The crabs are dormant from fall until
spring, even in the Gulf of Mexico,
where they are more abundant than anv-
where else on this country's coast. In
the spring, when they come out of the
mud and masses of seaweed, they 90
right into the business of shedding.
Really, it seems as if the crab had little
else to do in summer but shed his shell
and get new one of larger caliber. The
hard crab first puts on leathery under

Range of Modern Rihed Guns.

The distance that modern rihed guns
can cover is approximately one mile for
each inch of calibre. 1t is generally as
sumed, owing to the navy mounts not
being arranged SO as to attain the extreme
ranges, that even the sixty-seven ton
guns of 1876 inch calibre could not be
depended upon for a range above ten
miles, and that the range of smaller guns
would be proportionately reduced. 1t is
said ot only that the deck beams of
ships carrying guns of ten-inch calibre
and upward would not stand the strain
of firing at extreme elevations, but also
that the guns could not be normally ele-
waited more than fifteen degrees, while at
least thirty degrees would be necessary
for the farthest effect. Commander
Folger shows that neither of these objec-
tions is well taken. The sixty-seven ton
gun throws shell weighing 1, $50 pounds
and containing bursting charge of fifty
pounds of powder, enough to destroy
two-thirds of the largest building in the
city if exploded therein. Few people
realize what such missile is. 1t is
about as large as the largest hot water
boiler usually attached to the range in a
private house. 1t is more than foot in
diameter, and when standing on end it
would come up as high as the average
mans chin. The powder for this class of
guns comes in blocks. The cartridge is
not dissimilar in shape to bed bolster
and is about as large New York
