The Many USL3 of Rice,

Among all the industries and COM
merce Of Japan no one thing figures
so largely as rice, hence its cultivation
is the most important factor in agri-
culture Rice itself is used for great
variety of purposes other than food.
Millions Of bushels are consumed In
the preparation of the national drink,
called sake. The amount may be I'M
derstood when it is known that 80 per
cent of the entire national income is
derived from the amount used in TEis
manner. Rice -four is used in great
quantities in the preparation Of sweets
in common use among ell classes. The
strongest paper and much writing
material is also made from rice straw,
which furnishes supplies for endless
industries. Mating for beds is padded
with it's longest stalks, horses and bull
locks are shod with poorer grade,
houses matched, rope manufactured,
sandals woven, while other grades are
used for multiplicity Of purposes. 4

WAS A MODERN REORGANIZATION
How the New York Sun Brought a


How the New York Sun Brought u
Dead MIN to Life.
Speaking Of newspaper mistakes in
announcing the deaths of persons"
said an old newspaper man, reminds
me of that erratic genius, Charles A.
Dana, Of the New York Sun, and the
peculiar rule he adopted in the conduct
OF his paper. Whenever you see it
in the Sun it is So was the motto Of
he lived up to the motto. If the Sun
published thing it was so, and that
was the end of it as far as the Sun
was concerned. II the Sun killed a
man he was dead, and he was dead for
all time to come SO far as the Sun was
concerned. The policy CT the Sun was
never to retract. The Sun never made
any mistakes. What the Sun publish
ed was true. This was Dana's rule
And he never went back on it, But
l recall a rather amusing story in
connection with Dana and his policy
in this respect. The Sun came out on
one occasion and announced a certain
man was dead. AS a matter of fact tho
man was as thoroughly alive as any
man on the New York Sun. He was
even able to call at the Sun office, and
he took advantage Of the fact, and did
call to correct the statement that he
had passed from the realm Of the liv-
ing. You stated in your paper this
morning that was dead, he said to
Mr.. Dana. Yes replied Mr.. Dana.
But am not dead the man persisted.
I see you are not said Mr.. Dana, but
you are dead SO far as the New York
Sun is concerned. I'm sorry. But you
are dead. That's all But I'm not
dead persisted the citizen. Look at
me, Mr.. Dana I'm as much alive as
you are. Here l am. I'm live, pulls
ing man, and just as much alive as
you are, and / do not think you ought
to come out and announce that l was
dead, because I'm not dead But, my
dear friend" said Mr.. Dana, you are
certainly dead so far as the New York
Sun is concerned. But in order to set
tie this thing I'll tell you what I'll
do. We run a birth column in the
Sun. In that column tomorrow morn
ing I'll announce your birth The man
was puzzled and chagrined about the
thing, but that was about the best
thing he could do, SO the next morn
ing the Sun came cut according to Mr..
Dana's promise, with the announce
ment of the mans birth, and that was
the end Of it,"

Both men. while wide awake, were

though it quite suited his sybarite
views of comfort.
The more Jones used his faculties
the more intense became his suspi-
cloAs that ali was not as it should be.
He arose and made a move toward
the door with the intention of letting
the upper glass part down so that a
current Of fresh air might sweep
through the carriage
TO his surprise, he found that his
limbs actually ached, while his head
felt as though it would split. such was
the almost immediate effect of the
powerful gas that had been injected
into their compartment by some mys-
ferrous means.
Jones grasped the truth.
1t was stranger than fiction, c,ure
astounding even than anything he and

Jones did not stop in his well doing.
II one opening was good, two could
be deemed much better.
So he presently had a second WIN
dow lowered, which allowed a strong
breeze to sweep through.
"Phew!" exclaimed Merrick, coming
out OF his lethargy suddenly with a
shiver, what are you trying to do, old
man? Freeze us to death?"
"On the contrary, I'm bent on bring
ing you back to life, for unless I'm
mistaken, you were in a fair way to
kick the bucket" said Jones, stoutly.
We'll, to be sure, as the old saying
has it. do feel as though | had turned
a little pale. But for Heavens sake,
what is that vile odcr?"
Jones laughed hoarsely.
'Ha! you get it now. do you? Well.

THE deuce! We should have them

rick, making for the opening in ordcs
to breathe without pain.
Perhaps it might be as well to 81

Hearing which the other realized
what it all meant.
Good Heavens! the internal mons

signs Of sudden anger.
