LIGHT SMOKERS.
Japanese Are Satisfied With Small
Quantities of Tobacco.

you may have noticed that the Japanese
who visit America are very moderate
smokers said a prominent Japanese now
travelling in the United States to Star re-
porter recently. Those of my countrymen
who do indulge in the weed mostly smoke
cigarettes or preferably the smallest pipes
filed with the mildest tobacco obtainable
OF course, there are Japanese who, like
some Americans. have such a craving for
tobacco that nothing less than the strong
est cigar or the largest pipe will satisfy
them. But such smokers are exceptionally
few among the Japanese. AS a rule, my
Countrymen, while at home and abroad, are
satisfied with short smokes, such as a
cigarette or tiny pipe affords.
THE Japanese are moderate smokers not
so much because they are small people, but
for the reason that up to within recent
years but very little tobacco came into ia
ian and the tariff on II was very high. Be
ing a poor but frugal race, the masses
purchased only limited quantities of the
weed, which, as a matter of economy, they
have for generations been taught to smoke
in only the tfniest Of pipes. These pipes,
he most popular of which hold about as
much tobacco as would flll an ordinary
thimble, are survival of the days when
money was scarce, tobacco dear and the
tariff high. In another generation or two,
when Japan shall have taken her place
among the wealthy nations of the world.
my cOuntrymen will no doubt smoke large
quantities of tobacco, and then the small
pipes Will be abandoned for big ones, such
as Engiishmen and Americans now smoke" /"

Bering Sea Phosphorescence Surpasses
All Description,

II have often heard of the wonderful
phosphorescence of southern seas" remark
ed a traveller from the north TO a Star re-
porter, "and l have seen some pretty fair
samples of it in the Atlantic between New
York and English ports, but I did not know
1t prevailed to any extent in northern wa
ters until during the past summer. In Au-
gust last l was on board the revenue cut
ter MCCulloch, in the Bering sea, about
G3 degrees north latitude, bound north, when
one night about 10 o'clock | happened to go
on deck, and ! was almost frightened by the
sight of the sea. The wind was blowing
sharp enough to raise the white caps, and
the whole sea looked as if it were lighted
frCm its depths by a million arc lights
throwing their whtest rays upward and
under the flying foam. The hollows of the
waves were dark, but every crest that
broke, showered and sparkled as if it We're
flled with light. From the sides of the
ship great rolls of broken white light fell
away, and she left broad pathway OF
silvery foam as far back as the eye could
reach.
But about this hour was the most strik-
ing display. Here it was as If the ship
were plowing through a sea of white light,
and the water was thrown back from
her Prov 1t fell in glittering piles of light
upon the dark surface beyond, and was
driven far down below, lighting the depths
as if all the electricity of the ocean We're
shooting Its sparkles through the waves
and turning Itself into innumerable incan-
desceats that flashed a second and then
shut out forever. / stood on the forecaStle
deck looking down into the brilliant white
turmoil of the waters until began to feel
as if we were afioat upon some silver sea,
and a really uncanny feeling took posses
sion of me The white ship was lighted by
the phosphorescence of the waters, that
as high up as the deck there was pale,
wierd white, that made one feel as If the
Flying Dutchmen' were abroad upon the
seas and had passed by us, Ihe masts
covered in ashy gray above the decks, and
every rope and line stood out distinctly in
the light but cast no shadows 1t was all
as ghostly as If we had gone up against
the real thing and it was a positive relief
to get back into the ward room, where
there was something more human. l don
know how long it lasted, but when l went
to bed at II o'clock l could still see the
silver shining through the air port in my
state room.'

GOOD CRANBERRY CROP.
An Off Year, but the Yield is Above
the Average.

'Thfs seasons cranberry crop is esti-
mated to be G25,000 bushels, which is about
223,000 bushels less than 1t was last year"
said leading wholesale fruit merchant in
New York to the writer yesterday "Cranber-
ries, like apples, yield an abundant harvest
every other year, and while this is consid-
cred off season for the fruit the crop
is larger by some $4,000 bushels than the
average annual product. Moreover, the
quality Of the fruit this year Is exception
ally fine, and as a result there is a brisk
demand for it.
''The cranberry is product of the coun-
try's development coming forward in the
last fifty years from a small hard, bitter
berry to a handsomely shaped and good
sized fruit. AS the quality has improved
the berries have increased in popularity
with consumers, until supplies are hardly
sufficient to satisfy normal demands
Rhode Island was the first state to apply
scientific methods to cultivation, and the
system adopted there has extended to other
states. notably Massachusetts, New Jersey
and Wisconsin, where the largest quanti-
ties of fine cranberries are now grown.
Most of the exports go to England to
which country we ship between 5000 and
5000 bushels annually. In packing for
ocean transportation cranberries are sent
in barrels much stronger than those in
which the fruit is shipped to domestic
points Many Of the invoices are made to
titled people, the most distinguished of
whom is the Prince of Wales, who is so
partial to our cranberries that he buys
from three to four barrels every year."

A FOOL FOR LUCK,
What 1t Was That Led Him to Select

said the man who has had his nose to the

In a lottery. Jack didn't know enough to
go In out Of the wet, but he had a little
money and he bought a ticket that won,

THE EFFECT OF EXAMPLE.
1t Was This That Caused Two Men to

Example is a great teacher. even in the

an incident of the effect of an eastern Gus
tom which was brought into Montana some
years ago, but is not yet popular, I am
glad to say. I refer to the parting Of
human name in the middle. We have a few
specimens, but as far as 1 know none is

When Montana was a territory j. S. Crosby

Crosby made Henry B. Wilkins his pri-

wrong with the human mechanism, and the
more congestion there is the greater the
extent of the wrong. 1t may have been no
ticed by many in reading the accounts OF
the sudden deaths of several wel1-knOwn
citizens last week and the previous week
that the first warning they had of their III
ness came in the form of chill. When this
occurs the person affected had better give
up everything and get to his room and
bed as soon as possible. Delay should not
be thought of, and there is no treatment
that | know of that can be applied by the
person If on the street. The ordinary treat
nent that people, men l mean, for women
are less liable to these sudden warnings
than men. is to step into a bar room and
drink q Stimuiant of some kind, usually
whisky. They regard this as sufficient, and
go on with their ayocations. But In the
case of these sudden chills while whisky
is of considerable service as a whip, 1t can
not be relied upon to get a man out of the
hole hy itself, for the reason that as when
a whip is applied to horse. while it may
concentrate his efforts. it does not add any
strength. Whisky, therefore, Is not all that
is necessary. and those who depend on it
entirely and 20 the exclusion of other
things make serious mistake, as they or
their friends frequently find out. These
Chills are the visible signals of severe COM
pliCations. They are harmless enough in
their own way, but 1t is what produces and
follows them that Is involved. The only
safe thing to do is to get TO bed as rapidly
as possible. While on the road to bed
stimuant is all right, but 1t should be hot.
Once in bed any amount of hot lemonade,
hot ginger or pepper tea, or, indeed, any
other warm drink, the more the better,
should be taken. At the same time hot
bricks hot sand bags or hot water bags
should be used the application to be at the
feet or lower limbs. What is needed Is
reaction. and it follows these applications of
heat in any form probably better than In
any other way Between the hot drinks in
side and the hot applications outside, the
normal temperature in nearly all cases can
be restored. When this has been done the
cure is by no means complete. and 1t Is
criminal that persons should go out on the
streets Immediately. Better by far that
they make haste slowly and stay at least
six hours in 1ed, and, to be on the safe
