Millions subsist on Rice.

without question, the grain most
extensively used as an article of food
all the world over is rice. Hundreds
of million OF people chiefly subsist on
it, and its consumption is constantly
increasing. 1t is the principal diet of
at least one-third of the human race.
formingthe chief food OF the native popu-
lstions of India, China, Japan, NADIA
gascar; 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 So pounds monthly; a Bumese
or Siamese 46 pounds in the same
period. The eastern nations also chiefly
obtain their beverages from rice, which
is the principal grain distilled in siam,
Japan, and China. Saki, or rice beer,
is produced in Japan to the extent OF
$50, 900, 900 gallons annually. Although
rice is such a universal article of food,
it is not so nourishing as wheat or some
other grains More than nine-tenths OF
its substance consists of starch or
water; consequently it forms more fat
than muscle. The yield of rice is five
times as heavy as that of wheat, the
two crops yearly giving from eighty to
hundred bushels per acre.

Captain McB., credit to his race
says London Spare Moments. was once
In command of troop-ship returning
from India. On board he had as pas
sengers three ladies'. all wives of Of
ficers in her majesty's service.
Now it fell out that the cabin allotted
to them was fitted up to accommodate
four, and consequently it contained
four wash-basins, one of which was
far larger than the other three.
For the right to use this particular
basin each lady put forth her claim
citing her husbands position In the
army. But the husbands, unfortun
ately, all proved to be of equal rank
so to settle the matter the trio bearded
the captain in his cabin.
"We will leave 1t entirely, to you
captain" they said, land abide by youl
decision
Captain Mob. cogitated, and then de
clared solemnly, with the faintes,
twinkle in his gray eyes:
"Leddies, as it is no a matter o
rank, l think it would be that the old
est amang ye sud have the beeges'
bowl"
With murmured thanks the ladies
filed out again. but that basin wal
never used during the voyage.
