the use of porous glass for windows.
This is declared to possess all the
advantages of the ordinary window
framing, and while light is as freely
admitted as through the medium of
common glass, the porous" further
admits air, too, the minute holes with
which this is intersected being too fine
to permit of any draught, while they
provide healthy continuous ventilation

Varieties of Rice.

The varieties of rice cultivated nova
days are so numerous it is utterly i'm
possible to specify them. In India alone
there are several hundred varieties, the
classifying of which is further com.
plicated by their having different names
in different localities. The prevalent
custom has been to classify them accor'
ding to the seasons in which they are
Sown.
In Madagascar, again, variety known
as "rajafatsky" has also the same prop
critics. The famous Carolina rice, SC
much thought of in the United States, is
nothing mole nor less than this same
rajafatsky" variety, altered by careful
seed selection and improved cultivation,
till now some of the choicest of rice are
grown from Carolina seed.
Another curious point about this 50.
called "upland' rice is that it can be
grown under exactly the same condi-
tons as the swamp rice and give exactly
the same results-that is to say, cup
land" rice planted in swamp will pro-
duce as good a crop as if planted on a
dry ridge, and the same can be said of
the swamp rice when planted on dry
ridge This is no theory but actual fact,
las anyone who knows anything about
rice cultivation can prove. The "aus. "
as it's name implies, is an early crop, and
lis a quick grower, some varieties ripen-
ling IN two months. The quantity of this
scrop grown in India is limited, being
very much smaller than any of the
Others. These extra dry varieties are
not considered quite so nourishlng as the
swamp or wet rice. nor so palatable-
The rice consumed most extensively in
Queensland at the present day is that
known as Japan" rice, short, plump,
5righC yellow grain, which when hulled
/ gives a pearly white grain; and rice
growers are advised to grow this, and
$,h's only for the present. For the last
4;wo years variety of rices have been
brown, the principal features of the
majority of them being thin long
GRAIN, which has been practically un-
balable, to the great encouragement of
the growers. Farmers must study the
bubble taste for rice for the present, at
Ill events till the industry has developed,
by which time the public will have
been educated to appreciate some of the
kEer varieties of Indian rice, when a
change of variety will be found profit
IDLE. In the meantime the demand for
ibis short, plump, pearly rice exists, and
Rarieties, be they from Japan or India,
having this characteristic should only be
cultivated, in view of which tact the de-
bartment for agriculture has ordered a

The Nerviest Man in the world.

J.K. Chambers, union depot ticket
agent, when in reminiscent mood, can
tell many interesting stories of the west
in early days, says the Omaha World
Herald. He was in the service of the
government at Sidney when that town
was the toughest place in Nebraska II
not in the west and from whence per-
sons bound for the Black hills started
A few day ago Mr.. Chambers was sitting
conversation turned to early days in the
trans Missouri country and bravery:
1.-The man of iron nerve ! saw in Sid
ney in H." said Mr.. Chambers, was a
beardless man, scarcely more than boy,
and l should judge had not reached his
majority. He was tough man even in
Sidney, and his reputation was sustained,
for ne always carried a revolver, and he
would shoot at the drop of the hat. His
name was Doug Reed. It was said
around town that he would never die
natural death. That turned out true as
he was lynched by a mob one morning
and that is where he displayed his nerve.
1.-THE lynchers took the keys and un-
locked the doors and went into the cell
where Reed was He was smoking a
cigar when the men came in, and when
he saw them he looked up as cool as you
please. Good evening, gentlemen; sup
pose you are going TO take me out and
hang me-" he said; as nonchantly as
drink. He was told that he was correct
in his supposition.
"He got up as unconcernedly as you
please, and, putting on his hat, he re-
marked that he was all ready, if the rest
were. He walked through the Jail and out
into the moonlight, still smoking his cigar,
and even making little rings of smoke. He
simply glanced up at the moon, and, turn
ing to one of the men, asked him where
he was going to be swung off, saying that
it was no use walking a man mile or
so out into the country.
''He was marched up the street to a
telegraph pole that stood in the very heart
of the town. BY this time half the towns
people were around. A rope had been
brought along and it was slipped over his
head and he was bound. I can't climb that
pole and fall Off l ought to have a ladder
so as l can get up he said, and accord
ingly a ladder was brought and placed
against the pole. He was asked if he had
anything to say, and remarked he hadn't
and if he had he wouldn't.
when the ladder was placed against
the pole one of the men started up to tie
one end of the rope about the pole.
You needn't do that he said, for if
you will unwind these cords about my
wrists I'll do it, The cords were unwound.
and he climbed up the pole as far as the
ladder reached and fastened the rope
around the pole. When he had done this
he looked around over the crowd, stand
ing very quietly then, and called out:
:" 'Goodby. boys.
with that he jumped off the ladder, and
in a few minutes his ~lifeless body was
