They are telling in New York of a
man who after putting a large sum
into q publishing business decided
that the word publisher" was much
overworked. So he decided that. mas
much as 1t was his business to make
books, he was a bookmaker. A few
days later he met a politician from up
the state who inquired as to his bust

CRUDE FARMING IN JAPAN.
Still Agriculture Is a Very Old Sci
ence In the Land.

Still Agriculture is Very Old Sci
ence In the Land.
Although Japanese methods OF
farming appear crude enough to Am
orleans and Europeans, 1t is well to
remember that agriculture is q very
old science in the land Of the Mfkado.
1t was introduced there 200 years
before Christ by an emperor who was
afterward deified as god of the crops,
n 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
better methods. He taught the peas
ants by his own example, blowing a
small plot OF ground and sowing Il
with Ave most important cereals. In
the course of a few years every hill
hide and valley in Japan was smiling
ready for harvest
This was accomplished, too, in spite
If 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
yections, each hardly larger than a
potato patch, 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.

How Peeraees Die out.

The recent death of Lord Vantage
affords curious example of how peer
ages die out. He was the first and last
of the line. though the title was not
conferred upon him in 1885 with any
idea of its being only life peeraee,
for he was very wealthy man. Lord
Vantage had no children. There has
been a great deal of talk lately about
model saloons that are run by peers,
but it was not generally known that
Lord Vantage was the first peer to
run an establishment of this kind He
started q model inn in Arlington long
before the rise of the Gothenburg sys-
tenn. and gave the profits to local char.
tiles.

LIFE MADE CHEERFUL,
Indigestion, Dyspepsia and Biliousness
Absolutely Cured by Blood Wine.

Nothing is more unpleasant than to be
troubled with IA stubborn stomach dsor-
der. Lack of appetite; inability to retain
food pain after eating; disagreeable taste
in the mouth; coated tongue; yellow skin
and clouded eyes; all of these are symp-
toms that there Is something wrong with
the digestive organs.
If care Is not exercised at once, tho
bowels refuse to act and constipation re-
suits. The liver gets torpid and later the
whole system il affected,
Half the ills in the world are due to i'm
proper care of the stomach.
When the first symptoms of an I'M
healthy condition of the digestive organs
appear, Blood Wine should be taken regu-
larry. Blood Wine is a mild laxative not
a strong Cathartic. 1t helps the weaken
ed stomach to digest food and prepare 1t
for assimilation with the blood. 1t tones
up and strengthens the entire system and
restores the blood to normal condition
of purity.
The following letters tell of the benefit
Blood Wine has been to others. 1t will do
the same for you.
BENJAMIN Sunnenberg, POP W. 43d ST.,
New York, writes:
Through long suffering from dyspepsia,
i was greatly run down. l had no
strength and suffered great distress from
my stomach Blood Wine was recon-
monded to me and after using four bot
ties / am entirely well, can eat anything
and enjoy it. 1t is a grand tonic and Its
gentle laxative qualities are splendid for
torpid liver"

Wine and have received untold benefit.

jections being to the company getting tn

of The tributary creeks. But b. fore they

the Yukon is now on his way here and the
matter will no doubt come up for discus

adjusted.
Hon. Richard w. Scott, secretary OF
state, said tonight that the proposal had
been before the government in one shape
or another for several years. 1T had its
origin in a project to introduce hydraulic
power in the Yukon to utilize water and
distribute it over areas of mining land got
workable under set conditions. TreadgO.d
and others were willing to invest millions
in the scheme but not before they received
concessions from the government viii IA
would insure a reasonable return of money
invested. a clause has been inserted pro-
t,cting miners in so far as they can de
Inand and secure water raised by ny dra j.
ic pressure and thus work their own Lands.
The project Is in the interest of the couu-
try the secretary said and there is no sue-
