AM ERICAN RICE.
Doubled In Supply and Exported to
Many Lands.

About one-half of the population Of
the world depends upon rice as its
main food supply. II we look. how
ever, at maps showing the distribution
of cereal crops We shall find a great
differehce between the distribution
OF rice and that of other grains. We
shall see that maize, wheat, rye, oats
and barley are scattered over wide
areas covering, perhaps, the half of
continents. The rice areas, on the
contrary, appear small and patchy
They lie in long, narrow bands along
the margins of the sea or in river val.
leys. The reason is. of course, that
they are confined to low swampy dis
tricts where paddy fields may easily
be flooded. Nowhere does rice spread
out over areas of wide extent except
In southern Asia, where the extensive
low lands are flooded or the valleys
among the mountains are irrigated
with infinite care.
Within the past four years the
dream OF few theorists has been
realized on the plains of Texas, and
in 1902 over 10000 acres around
Houston yielded 100000 bags Of
marketable rice, worth $S.O00,000. In
1891 the year after the rice boom
struck Texas, $4,000 acres were in
rice In the neighborhood of Houston,
and this year 1t is expected that 300,-
900 acres will be planted, all of it
land that five years ago was worth
only 81 or So an acre for grazing and
could produce only four or five bushels
Of grain to the acre. Costly irriga-
tion has wrought this transformation.
It has been proved that the very best
Of rice crops can be raised on these
prairie lands by spreading water over
them and that the industry pays
large profit.
A few years ago that part of our
southern coastal plain which might
easily be flooded was producing only
about one-half the rice consumed by
our people. We are still importing
rice, but at the same time We are SELL
ing our home product in Hawaii, Porto
Rico. Cuba, Mexico and Central and
South America; and agents of the
Rice Association OF America are look
ing to Europe for a market, confident
that before very long we shall be able
not only to fill the home demand, but
also to contribute important quanti-
titles to foreign markets that are
now dependant upon Burmah, Siam
and Cochin China.
In five years we have increased
the home product nearly one-half
We are changing the nature of our
rice imports, which are now largely
of the lower grades known as brew
er's rice" used in the manufacture Of
beer. Rice culture on lands that
can be flooded only artificially was the
problem of Texas; and It's triumphant
solution is turning a region of scanty
production into very profitable farm

Vacation Schools.

New York leads the world in the
number and variety of its public
vacation schools" but there is one
kind which it cannot. for geographical
reasons, compete with London.
The Board Of Education of that CITY
maintains holiday schools" in various
places abroad for adults desiring to
improve their knowledge of foreign
languages. At Caen. the old capital of
Normandy, hoard and lodgings are
provided at from SO cents to slips per
day. At Nancy one can live for 62
cents a day. Nowhere is he charged
more than $1.25. In addition to the
work of the school, the students are
conducted to places of interest in the
neighborhood, and altogether a happy
time may be spent. In July and Aug.
ust such schools will be held at several
places in France, Switzerland and
Germany.--New York World.

Wasp's Method of Attack.

Belt, in his Naturalist in Nicara-
gua," draws attention to the methods
of attack used by different species of
wasps. One, accustomed to animals
and not to man, takes care to crawl
down the outstanding hairs to the
skin before inserting It's sting, while
others, which live in the midst of hui
man dwellings, fly straight at a mans
face. The first species, true to inner
tied instinct, when it attacks unfami-
liar human beings, attaches itself to
their hair or their boards. But there
must have been time when the sec
ond species discovered that the face
was the vulnerable part, and the dis
covery was the outcome Of the action

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge of mucus. This is why Pc
runa is called tonic. Peruna does not
give strength by stimulating the nervous
system little.
1t gives strength by preserving the mu-
cous membranes against leakage.
1t gives strength by converting the blood
fluids and preventing their draining away
in mucous discharges.
Constant splitting and blowing the nose
will finally produce extreme weakness

HubbeIPs Crime

HubbeIPs Crime
 The man whom Sheriff Furey went to Bisbee after, says the Butte Inter- Mountain, is Henry Hubbell, who at one time ran a restaurant and saloon in Butte. Hubbell is charged with having embedded s469 while acting as administrator of the estate of M. c. Mcclellan, deceased. In the pro- bate proceedings that came before Judge McClernan the court ordered the administrator to distribute that amount to the heirs by November 10, but before that day arrived Hubbell had left for parts unknown. Henry Kruger and John L. Carroll are sure ties for Hubbell as administrator, and when they heard of his disappear ance they at once started a search for him. He was at last located in the Arizona mining camp, and at the written request of Detective Jerry Murphy was arrested in Bisbee by the police there
