MICHIGAN'S UNIQUE TOWN.
Everybody Has His own Home and
Eats the Same Kind of Meat
at Constantine.

Constantine, Mich, is one of the
aueerest towns in the country. 1t has
q population of 5000. A rented house
is so rare as to be conspicuous. Near
ly everybody owns his home.
AT noon the merchants lock their
doors and 60 to dinner. The men
folks on their way to business in the
morning stop at the market and
leave al order for meat for the noon
meal. They do not say hnw much,
for the butcher has come to know
the amount each customer wants.
The order is, simply for meat. The
butcher seldom has more than one
kind at a time. Thus it happens that
on some days the whole town eats
ham, on others mutton or steak. Few
canned goods are sold in the town
and everybody has a garden.
Several years ago when a factory
was established there it put in an
electric plant. The town board ar
ranged for lighting the streets from
this power, and there is one mean
descent light in the middle of each
block. This is the only public i'm
provement the town hts had for
years. The people have money and
IRE a contented lot. When they want
anything extra for their table they
send to Detroit for it, or 60 there
and stay a few days. Sometimes they
90 to Chicago. The people as q whole
are intelligent and hospitable. When

mission may give during the Exposition. A
large gallery crosses the hall at the north
ern end. Under the hall, in the basement,
are toilet and storage rooms, This com,
partment also contains the heating ana
ventilating apparatus. Above the hall are
two large rooms which can be used advan-
tageously for exhibit purposes.
Two flights of iron stairs lead from the
basement to the second story. These are
placed back of the rotunda and afford easy
| access to all parts of the building.
None but Missouri materials viii be
( used in the building. The Commission 10
satisfied that Missouri can supply every.
| thing needed for the erection and equip
ment Of even so elaborate a structure as
this. .
The basement of the building is to be Of
Missouri granite.
Above this, to the top of the halustrade
| course, the material will be of cut stone.
The kind to be used has not yet been deter
mined, and it is hoped that friendly rivalry
will arise among producers of building
stone in Missouri to obtain the use Of their
material for the structure. This will not
only produce an attractive display, but
should greatly lessen the cost of the struc-
ture and be of great advantage to the pro-
Queer fortunate enough TO supply the mate.
rial.
The exterior of the dome will be covered
with Missouri lead or zinc. The rotunda is
to be finished in the marble and onyx so
abundant in Missouri. The most delicate
materials can be used in this position as
there will be perfect protection from the
weather. There will be no plastering in the
rotunda. Walls, columns and dome will show
the original materials in their most highly
finished condition. The purpose is to get a
perfectly harmonious effect of color and
texture, and at the same time give all the
vast building resources of Missouri a show
place in this structure for all time to come.
In the finish of the interior, the beautiful

maple, ash, and many others will be used.

He tired out with the slightest exer'

could do for him he was growing grad,

icines and treatments without benefit
but recently he read in a newspaper
about Dodd's Kidney Pills and these
helped him from the very first dose.
He took several boxes before he was
completely cured but now he is well
and strong as ever he was and feels
very grateful to Dodd's Kidney Pills
for his restoration to good health.

FEW RICH MEN IN JAPAN.
Facts brought Out BY a Newspaper
Census of Japan's Wealthy
Men.

The Jill Shimpo has made a curious
census of the rich men of Japan. The
object of it's Investigations was to as
certain how many persons there are
IN the empire possessed of a fortune
OF SOC, 900 yen, which is equal to $780,
900. The total number of these quar-
ter-millionaires is AL. One-third of
the number reside in Toxic, and the
great majority are found, of course,
in the capital and the progressive
cities of Osaka, Kioto, Kobe and
Yokohama. The result shows that
there are ien rich men in the United
States to one rich man in Japan, eve
when a million dollars is accepted as
a standard in the United States and
a quarter of a million in the Japanese
empire. The proportion, however, is
not so much against Japan as may
at first appear. The rich men OF the
latter country, even the bankers and
financiers, have their largest hold
ings in land. They have not
yet specialized the business of money

try, and therefore the basis of for
tunes is more stable. Again, it is es-
timated that a dollar in Japan IS
equal, in the amount it will purchase
of comfort and luxury, to four or
five dollars in the United States. With
this consideration in view it will be
seen that the apparently small for
tunes of the Japanese wealthier
classes are really much larger than
they seem. The period of business
and industrial development has just
begun and fortunes are being made
more rapidly now than they were ten
or even five years ago. This is shown
by the tremendous growth of the
Japanese shipbuilding industry and
in the accumulated fortunes of many
~financiers of Toxic and Yokohama. 1t
is conceivable that another decade
may see Toxic the great financial
metropolis of the east, as London is
of Europe and New York is of the
American continent. Japan's day has
just dawned, and it is idle to con-
trast the beginnings of her accumu
Iations of wealth with the results of
acquisitions in this country and in
Curope.-Japan and America.

The earth has a shadow, but very

the moon, or else few recognize it
when they see it. Nevertheless, many

gray segment under it.. AS the sun
sinks the arc rises until it attains the
