RICHEST ISLAND ON EARTH
Yet Java, With Its Amazing Crops
Hardly Pays the Dutch

Java has population of more than
100000. 1t is Dutch possession
and the richest island on earth, SAYS
man who has spent most of his life
there. 1.-the governor general has nine
palaces in different parts of the island
and a regiment of soldiers to escort
him from one to another. Two-ffths
or the sugar of the world is produced
in Java. Labor costs little or nothing.
The natives work for something like
$3.50 a year. The principal products
are sugar, cotton, rice, cagu nuts and
eltronella. OF the total population
there are probably 30,000,000 Java.
nese, and the rest are Chinese and Por-
tuguese. The white population numbers
about 100000, mostly Dutch, and there
are few Americans. The immensity of
the production of Java may be esti-
mated from the fact that the internal
revenue is nearly $200,000,OOO.
Notwithstanding the big popula-
ton, the richness of the soil and the
great productivity Java is hardly paw

EFFERvEscFNT DRINKS
They Allay the 1nr1sU Quickly. but the
Effect Is Not LASTING


The reason why we like efferveseent
drinks is that the slight singing or
pricking of the palate that follows on
drinking liquids charged with earbonic
acid gas produces Immediately an in
creased flow of saliva and thus di-
minishes for the moment the sensation
of thirst
But the relief they bring is onlv
temporary and is followed by reac.
tlon in which the thirst is actually in
creased. The salivary glands are no
more susceptible to perpetual stimula-
tlon than any other, and after each Pc
riOd of excitement one of depression
supervenes. Young soldiers on route
marches quickly come to understand
this and to discover that the more wa.
ter they drink the more thirsty they
get and that it is best, therefore. to
limit the quantity swallowed. More
over, the saliva contains matters of
great Importance for the digestion of
food, particularly of starchy foods, and
If it all be washed down the throat
into the bowels as soon as it is secreted
g great part of its usefulness is lost.
1t would, therefore, seem that less
wasteful way, physiologically, of pro-
noting the flow of saliva might be
adopted vita profit. The consumption
of fruit containing subaeid juices is
about the most excellent way.-St
Louis Post-Dispatch.

He Got the Cheapcst

Old Hiram PinChon was born ira.
der and penny pincher besides. He
was never willing to pay the price of
anything he wanted, and all the shop.
keepers at the village dreaded to see
him enter their stores.
One day he did little trading at
Nelson's shoe store. He tried on a
dozen pairs of boots, but could find
nothing that was not too expensive.
Then he guessed he would get a pair
of rubbers. He rejected pair that
cost a dollar and another that cost .
cents. Finally the clerk brought him
pair for so cents. They seemed to
fit well enough, but Hiram was still
dissatisfied.
''Hain t ye got any rubbers that are
cbeaper9' he asked.
"No, sir, declared the irritated
clerk, "we haven't. That pair
you we got on is the cheapest, poorest,
most no account rubber there is made! -
So Hiram bought them.-Y Youth 8
