Rice In the Orient.

Rice is kept for use i'll the orient In
its husk. just like horse oats or I'M
thrashed wheat. 1t is called paddy"
and is beaten or thrashed for daily use.
But pure husked rice is too rough and
unattractive looking for world mar
kets. so it is polished in revolving cyl
inders with French chalk to make it
pretty. pearly and smooth. But this
robs it of its outer layer and most val
liable food qualities. Polished rice is
regarded as poison in Japan and is
known to produce the dreadful epidem-
ic disease beriberi in japanese who
live too exclusively on rice diet and
eating little or no meat.-Exchange.

THE WET RAIN.
There Are Several Varieties. and All
Have Their Whims.

Rain is principally composed OF
water. but it should not be confused
with mining stock.
Rain always comes on Sunday after
moons and wash days.
Wash day may be changed to any day
in the week, Systematically or indis-
criminately. but the rain will come.
Sunday afternoon. however, cannot
be changed to any other afternoon.
The rain will hold off until you are
ready to go driving. and then the word
will be passed along the mysterious
currents of the air. and double order
of cirrus and cumulus will be hurried
in from the west.
Also in the morning. when you leave
home and carry your umbrella and
raincoat, the rain will go away and
sulk. But If you take heart OF the
fair sky and leave the umbrella and
other trimmings then the rain Will
wait until you leave the office and then
get YOU. incidentally it will tuck a
few grip and rheumatism germs into
your system.
Rain is good for the crops. but why
| it takes you for crop is hard to un-
| derstand
Rain never brought fame to any one
except Noah. Probably on the day the
food began he watched the last picnic
party drive out of town in bus. shout
ing sarcastic things at him through the
dust.
There are several varieties of rain
but the one most popular with the
