Food Value of Rice.

The value of rice as a food is more
generally acknowledged now than a
few years ago.
According to one authority. investi-
cation and experiments disclose that
one pound of rice contains 3.12 per
cent. more nutriment than corn or
rye, 3.45 more than wheat and 1877
more than oats. When compared with
potatoes or meats the differences is
still greater in favor of rice as an ar
ticle OF food, pound of rice yielding
more than four times as much nutri-
ment as a pound Of potatoes, three
times as much as fat beef. DR.. Frank
land, in his "Comparative Value Of
Foods" places them in the following
order Of excellence, both as to econO-
my and effect: Rice. oat meal, -four,
bread, potatoes and lean beef.
In cOrrObOration Of this noted scien-
fists conclusions are noted the famous
pOrters Of COnstantinOple who are
veritable Titans in burdenbearing. and
live almost exclusively on rice: also
WyckOff, stationed some years ago at
Rasrah, at the head of the Persian
gulf, who stated that there are no
finer speciments of human physique
to be found in the world than are
characteristic Of a tribe-the Telekafe
living in the vicinity of ancient Min
evch. Many of them are river labor
ers, living entirely upon rice, and it
is common for them to carry. from
boat to shore. bales of Manchester
cotton weighing from 500 to 1000
pounds.
It will richly repay the United
states to protect and enlarge the rice
crop of this country by every method

publishes an interesting letter from
Doctor VIM. c. Richardson, OF Tampa:

help we have here. The negro is un-
certain, untruthful, dishonest and re-
wards do not appeal to him. The av-
erage Texan looks upon it as. a dis
grace to work as hand on the farm.
The wage hands get more than the
tenants or troopers, for the reason
that the wage hands are used only
in emergencies; they demand and get
good pay and they do not work as
hard as the cropper while they are
at work. For instance, lots of hands
lay around towns and pick up a bare
living till cotton chopping time. Then
they demand and get 81 to $1.25 per
day. After this they loaf some more
till cotton picking time and then get
from Csc to 90c per hundred or won't
move The $12-a-month hand sees
this and revolts, never thinking of the
long, comparatively idle time he has
had. Tenants are idle approximately
one-half Of the time as compared with
people who work for corporations
and go to work at Z o'clock and quit
at o'clock.
The time they are idle could be very
proftably employed by them if they
were inclined to employ it, There
are tons and tons of fertilizer they
could haul to the fields; there are fall
crops Of pear, potatoes, ETC., they could
cut, cure and haul in for winter feed;
there are the cuckleburrs and weeds
they could cut before the seed mature
But no. They are migratory. They
are not going to stay in the place an
other year, they hear of better coun-
try just ahead and move on. That's
the rule.

sive1y as the small limits Of the island
will permit Sugar cane, however,
seems to be the principal article Of cul
tivation.
+ The next place visited was Cadiz,
Spain, located on an almost barren
little peninsula, and aside from the
splendid harbor, it's commerce as the
chief port of Southwestern Spain, and
the manufacture of salt by evapOra
| ton, it has little Of interest in a
business way, but is rich in art treas
ures and historical associations
A visit to the interior, some hun
dred and fifty miles, revealed quite
extensive orange groves, and many
quite large olive orchards The Or
ange trees are planted in squares in
regular order, eighteen or twenty feet
apart, and do not seem to grow any
thing like as large as Our Florida
trees. In the gardens of the palace
Of the Alcazar there are many very
old trees, one of which is said to
have an authentic history of over six
hundred years! 1t is a bitter sweet,
and the man showing us through the
place said that sweet oranges injected
into the bitter stock-he meant bud
ded-were growing in the ground and
bearing abundantly at ages of two and
three hundred years. These trees did
indeed look thrifty and healthy, but
they were no larger than Our fifteen or
sixteen-year-old trees. All the unpro-
tected oranges and other sub-tropical
trees had been nipped with the cold to
the extent of losing their leaves but
this did not seem to worry the Span
iards any, and they apparently treated
it as nothing unusual, or of any conse-
quence Spanish oranges are not of
the best quality, and aside from color
! have little to recommend them; they
are tender, thick-skinned, and mega
tive flavor.
The next stop was at Algiers, in
| N orthern Africa, where oranges, lem
ons, guavas, bananas, etc., were found
IN profusion All showed the effect
of recent cold, but had not suffered
as much as in Spain. The orange
groves were set out in a much more
crowded way, the trees being only
twelve or fifteen feet apart, and, like
in Spain, all pruned up very high.
The Mandarin oranges are raised verv
extensively in Algiers, and are of a
most excellent quality; in fact, all the
oranges here are very good, indeed.
After visiting Greece and Smyrna
in Asia Minor, where olives and figs
ARE raised extensively, and oranges
are grown in rather limited way,
and where they suffer a great deal
from cold every winter, the next place
of interest, from an horticultural stand
point, was Jaffa, in Palestine.
Jafa Oranges. is the home of

outside of Florida, if an exception be
made in favor Of blood navel found
in a small way on the island Of Malta
The cultivation Of the orange in Jaffa
is more wonderful to a Florida grower
than is the delicious character Of the
fruit. The trees are planted in rows
not more than seven or eight feet
apart, and not more than five or six
feet distant from one another in the
rows. All cultivation is done with hoes
and spades, and they dig deep every
where, even close up to the trees
They have loose, sandy soil, richer,
apparently, than ours, and their only
knowledge of fertilizers seems to be
confined to barnyard manure.
When the trees get so large as to
make them too close together for con-
venlent cultivation and harvesting the
fruit they cut them off alternately in
the rows and rebud the sprouts.
was told not any trees are allowed to
get more than ten or twelve feet
high before they are thus treated.
was also told by a man whose family
are the most extensive growers in
this country, that small, thrifty trees
close together, gave larger returns per
acre, and better fruit, than any other
system of culture they had been able
to devise.
Egypt was found to be almost as
wonderful from an horticultural and
agricultural view as it is from an
chronological and historical standpoint
At Cairo, in latitude 80 degrees north,
where it never rains, and where the
climate is much warmer, especially in
summer, than in Jacksonville, we
found many things to interest us. We
were fortunate enough to secure an
introduction to the Director Of the
Botanical and Geological gardens, who
kindly devoted a forenoon to showing
us through the wonderful rich pos
sessions under his management in
GLIDING rare specimens of all kinds OF
fruits and plants that grow, in this
lavishly productive country. Every
thing we ever saw growing in Florida
seemed to flourish here, including two
splendid, real American alligators, kept
in a pool enclosed by wire netting,
separating them from the crocodiles
1t seemed like meeting friends from
home, and after long association with
Arabs, camels, donkeys, ETC., it cheered
us up wonderfully It was a matter Of
pride to us to be told that the alligators
whipped and destroyed the crocodiles,
hence had to be kept to themselves.

tunate enough to be in Cairo at the
time of the Egyptian Horticultural Ex-

flourish under the auspices of the

cratic monarch, The exposition had

PoIi'S New T'heater.

Joe Welch is the leading light on the Poli bill this week, and Bert Leslie and company in 'Hogan's Visit is a close second. It's one of the best balanced bills of the season and last nights critical audience enjoyed it immensely. Welch is a typical Hebrew comedian. He needs very little make up and has dry humor that appeals to every one. He told his story last evening in his droll fashion and soon had the au- dience with him. He tells of his fami- ly troubles, and they are numerous, in splendid style He is a treat for laugh ter-making.
 Leslie and company, the company in- eludes Mae Sailor and Burrell Barba- rette formerly the pajama girl couple and they assist materially to make the skit hit. Some slang classics are giv- en a wide berth in this act, and Leslie's talk is a big feature of the act. Some of his phraseology will be heard around town this week.
 The oilo has dainty Daisy Hareourt. who has decided English way and who sang some very clever ditties. Orletta and Taylor are singing duets of the best ealibre and The Kinsons were the surprise in the novelty line.

"PETER PAN"

A search among the recorded receipts of the Charles Frohman office at the end of last season brought out the fact that Maude Adams broke her own rec ord and the theater record. The heav- mess of the attendance at the extra afternoon performances of Peter Pan' was unprecedented in the history of New York theaters.
 An interesting episode occurred at one evenings performance during the rec ord run. AS Peter Pan hauled down the pirate flag from the mast head of Hooks ship and raised the American flag, a good part of those seated In the orchestra rose spontaneously and continued standing as long as the na- tional emblem was in sight.
 Miss Adams is at the Hyperion the last half of the week with matinee Saturday.

BlJou Theater.

The stock company at the Bljou yes- terday added another day of triumph to It's presentation of "The Christian" Those witnessing the production of the peace were more than pleased at the presentation given and only the most favorable criticism has been heard of the performance of this famous play In her interpretation of the character of Glory Quaye, Miss Gertrude ship man has earily captured the honors. Hers is work of the highest order and the reception accorded her playing is exceedingly fattering. MT. McGill, un- der whose personal direction the play was prepared, is giving an admirable interpretation of the role of John Storm. His playing is always natural and in this piece the self-control which marks his stage presence Is of peculiar value in presenting tho character.
 The play is to be given each after noon and evening the remainder of the week and the sale of seats indicates that large houses win be the rule. On Friday afternoon there will be the usual souvenir matinee.l
