RICE GROWN IN JAPAN,

Recently the national govern
ment sent an expert in rice to ia
pan with instructions to look over
he different grades of rice in that
country, and to secure seeds of
some of the best kinds for the Ha-
waiian Islands. While there he
visited the agricultural exp, riment
stations and succeeded in obtain
ing tliV seed in question.
Last year thirty million pounds
OF the best varieties from Japan
were imported into the Hawaiian
Islands. Although that product il
commanding u higher price than
the Hawaiian article, the latter is
gradually going out of the local
market, owing to the large Japa-
nese population, which con-
sumes it.
Rice makes good dish for the
table. Any grade is used to adj
vantage. The object of the gov.
ernment in furnishing the Hawai-
ian planters with seed coming from
Japan is to improve the condition
of things there, and to enable
them to compete with the Japa-
nese.
The Sbinriki, raised IN Japan,

BY crossing it with the Omachi.

have obtained rice without

"a WORD TO THE WISE"

1t is big mistake and poor econ
omy for hOusekeepers to plan so
closely that they have nothing in the
house for emergencies, as did one
woman.
Counting noses and allowing moth
ing for the unexpected guest who hap
pens to drop in is always unsafe and
anything but comfortable for both
hostess and guest. How much pleas
anter and more comfortable to have
things IN readiness, which every
housekeeper can have if she plans
right
One Of the most delightful homes
it has been my lot to visit because Of
its simple and welcome hospitality.
is always ready for one or more
friends who feel free to drop in at
meal time.
There are five grown UP children
in the family and all unite in general
helpfulness. Seldom, if ever, do they
sit down to a meal alone and yet
there is never any fussing or extra
work for company. Only an extra
plate with silver-is added No help
is kept except a woman who comes in
for laundry work and occasionally q
days cleaning.
How many homes we go into where
an unexpected guest throws the fam
lily into a panic and great consterna-
ton and disturbance is the result.
The table cloth must be changed, ex-
ira silver and china brought out, and
by the time the meal is ready every
ones nerves are worn threadbare and
the guest wishes from the bottom Of
her heart that she had not dropped in
and vows never to repeat the Of
fenser
1t is seldom a matter Of expense
that causes such a fuss but an I'M
comfortable habit that some women
get into. How often I have heard
women say, Glow I wish I could
have company as easily as you do"
Why not stop worrying and fussing
and just try it.

The Punishment of Children.

Parents should remember that ev-
cry distressing, bloodcurdling story
told to child, every superstitious
fear instilled into it's young life, and
their mental attitude toward the
child, their whole treatment of it, are
simply making photographic records
in it's nature which will be repro
duced with scientific exactness in it's
future life, says Orisin Sweet Marden
in Success Magazine.
Whatever you do, never punish a
child when it is suffering with fear.
1t is a cruel thing to punish children
the way most mothers do, anyway;
but to punish a child when it is al
ready quivering with terror, and es-
pecially when you are angry, is ter
rible.
The same principle applies to pun
ishing children in school, especially
when they are suffering from sensi-
tive fear.

Benefits of Hearty Laughter.

A famous doctor once said: EN-
courage your child to be merry and to
laugh aloud; a good, hearty laugh
expands the chest and makes the
blood bound merrily along. Com
mend me to a good Iaugh-not to a
little, smuggling laugh, but to one that
will sound right through the house;
it will not only do your child good,
but will be a benefit to all who hear,
and be an important means of driving
the blues away from the dwelling.
Merriment it catching and spreads in
a remarkable manner, few being able
to resist the contagion. A hearty
laugh is a delightful harmony; in
deed, it is the best of all music. -

rUST at this time, when we
are all packing away winter
clothes and blankets, every
~ precaution should be taken
against moths, for we all know how
distressing it is to find when we I'M
pack in the fall that perfectly good
garments have been ruined by these
pests during the summer. Moth balls
with layers of fresh cedar, which has
a delightful odor, are sure to keep
away moths.
A friend told me few days ago
that his Irish potatoes were covered
with bugs, and after using different
things that were not effective, he
gathered a good bit Of cedar, boiled
it and sprinkled the potatoes with
the water. All the bugs were killed
and no more have come. Isn't it
pity we didn't know this when we
were children and had to pick the
pesky bugs and wish we could never
see another Irish potato?
We would be so glad to have let
ters and suggestions from more of
you. A. w. L.

The Shadow Self.

My shadow is the oldest thing,
don't believe it has much sense,
Sometimes half lies on the lawn
While half is leaning 'gainst the
fence.
Sometimes it's very long and slim,
And then again it's short and small;
l really do not understand
About my shadow self at all.

Magazine.
