CRUDE FARMING IN JAPAN.
Still Agriculture is Very Old Sci
ence in the Land.


Although Japanese methods of
farming appear crude enough to Am
ericans' and Europeans, it is we'll to
remember that agriculture is very
old science in the land of the Mikado.
It was introduced there 2,700 years
before Christ by an emperor who was
afterward deifed as god of the crops,
in recognition of his great services to
the people.
The soil had been cultivated in an
inferior way before that time, but this
enterprising ruler saw the needs of
ants by his own example, plowing a
small plot of ground and sowing it
with five most important cereals. In
the course of few years every hill
side and valley in Japan was smiling
ready for harvest.
This was accomplished, too, in spite
of difficulties. The soil of Japan is
naturally of very poor quality. The
entire country is of volcanic forma.
ton, and only one-twelfth of the land
is fiat enough for farming. The farms
of to-day are divided into very small
sections, each hardly larger than a
potato patcn, but every inch is cult
waited. The implements are crude.
After being plowed, the soil is loos-
ened with a long-handled spade, and
is then ready for the planting. The
sickle used in harvesting is little
larger than a curved bread knife.

Violet GIaos as Cancer Cure.

An expensive electrical apparatus
which is known as an actinolite has
just been placed in the New York
Flower hospital, said to be the first
complete instrument of the kind per
manently set up in an American hos
pital. BY it's operation it is hoped
to make thorough test of the theory
that the powerfully concentrated
chemical, or actinic; rays of violet
colored light possess distinctly. cura-
tive properties in cases of cancer and
tuberculosis. To the patient the op-
GRAFTON is an entirely painless one,
and it's advocates claim for it that it

lures that often attend the application
Of the Roentgen rays to sensitive por.

The man was in Washington when

was "a young fellow in the law busi-

too much" and concluded by saying
that if $1,000 wasn't too high he
might send that amount. The rest of
the letter was written in Mr.. Reeds

the fact that he was suffering from
an abscess of the brain.
What caused the abscess could not
be ascertained. So far as known there
had been nothing that ordinarily
causes that disease to produce it in the
case of the boy. and several doctors
were called in to examine the case.
/ Their examinations were unavailing,
so far as discovering the cause of the
disease was concerned.
The boy, after lingering for fifteen
days. passed away Yesterday. His body
was taken in charge by Undertaken
O'Donnell and shipped to his home in
Idaho. The boy was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. S. NJ Norris, and was but
II years of age at the time of his
death.
