796.000.000 Human Binas Us This-

Grain as Thtir Chief Food. The value of rice as an edible product can scarcely receive more striking confirmation than is given by its extensive use. It is almost the only food of from one-third to one-half of the

whole human race. The population of China is 404,000,000, and rice forms the principal food of its people. India has 273,000,000 people, and the same statement may be made with reference to V their use of rice. Japan has a population of 39,000,000, and rice forms 51

per cent of their total sustenance. The population of the remaining rice consuming countries of Asia and Africa may be roughly estimated at S0,000,000. Thus it appears that no fewer than 706,000,000 human beings, or 54.2 per cent of the total population of the earth, have rice for their principal food. This fact alone stamps it as the earth's most important cereal.

THE START OF BANKING. 1 Present System Had Origin In Genoa In the Thirteenth Century. The Talazzo San Giorgo, on the Piazza Caricamento, Genoa, has played an important role in the history of this Italian city, and of the world of business. It was built in 12G0 by order of Guglielmo Bo'ccanegra, captain of the republic Of Genoa, and after serving-us his residence was the headquarters of

the celebrated company and Bank of St. George. Our modern system of hanking sprang from this historic edifice, and the Societa delle Compere di San Giorgio was the first limited liability company. The architect of the palace was a monk named Oliviero. Although its architecture has undergone a number of changes, the facade still speaks eloquently of the thirteenth century. Its arcades, with pointed arches, are exceedingly charming.

Nothing could be more dignified and bc-oming for the elderly woman with

silvery hair than the coiffure model seen in the illustration. The hair is waved j

in deep undulations and is drawn softly away from a center part, it tne nan is not abundant a very small "rat" should bo pinned at the .back of the head, over which the ends of the hair may be smoothly drawn and arranged in the center of the head in coiled effect.

REAL LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING. Ingenuity an Essential; but, Given That, Problem Is Quite Easy. One light housekeeper says that when she first tried it she found it the heaviest work she had ever undertaken. But now she has discovered the secret. In selectiug quarters she says to be careful to get rooms that are sun light

ed. Having got quarters, the furnishing problem begius. This was the way she solved it, says the New York Post: "We got plain, unstained white pine furniture and stained it gray. A fairly good sized table, two straight chairs, two wicker chairs which we left in their natural state, and a comfortable rocking chair, one of which 1 picked up at an auction sale, completed the furnishing of our living room. The wicker chairs needed cushions, and at the shops they were $2. So we bought a cotton comfortable for 75 cents and cretonne for 50 cents and made our cushions. We had chosen a soft gray wall paper, and the colors in the cretonne were of old blue. We had a gray rag rug on the floor, with an old blue border. Our curtains were of cheesecloth, which we hemstitched at night after we came from our work. "We needed a bookcase, and one of the girls conceived the idea of taking three of the boards that dress goods come wrapped around, putting spools between and stringing the whole outfit together with strong cord. We

stained that gray, too, to match the

other furniture. We made two oi

these 'bookcases' for the living room

and one for each of our own rooms.

"In the matter of bed covers one of the girls had an idea which turned out happily. We bought a sheet of soft light wool from one of the department stores for $l.(u and covered it with ten cent silkaline. This, with one pair of blankets, was ample. In the early fall we began our quilting, none of us knowing a thing about it. What we turned out were not products that our grandmothers would have boasted of, but the tackings held, and the comforters were light and warm, costing less than $2.."0 for each. "A dressing table was made out of a pine box with a mirror over it The whole thing was covered with silkaline. and the only cost was for the mirror. Our dining room was in brownish tints, and our curtains were, we thought artistic triumphs. We bought crocus iagging and hemstitched it, and wo found it artistic, aud the curtains never got dirty or didn't show it if they did. Cluster Vases For the Table. It tiutte new to omit the formal - central vase and arrange four long low

HOUSE PLANTS.

House plants should be watered only when they need it Surface wetting daily is worse than none at all. The plant should be soaked so that water runs out of the hole in the bottom of the pot A good sized watering pot full of water is the proper allowance for a twelve inch pot It is well to let the soil dry out, as that gives a chance for air to penetrate the soil. When a plant wilts and grows yellow repot it Dead leaves aud twigs should, of course, be plucked off.

For Party Prize or Bride to Be. A box of sachets for a party prize or

engagement present consists of ten oblong, sachets, two each of blue, pink, j green, violet and canary. Each sachet is made of thin muslin three inches long and an inch and a half wide. The bag is stuffed with scented cotton or with Florentine orris. The covers are made of satin or messaline. and the tops are tied to form a narrow frill. The bags are placed side by side in a long narrow box or in double rows in, a wider box of water color paper. When given for an engagement present it is effective covered with white satin with the monogram of the bride to be embroidered on it

The Best Lemonade. It won't be long before the cold lemonade will again come into its own. Here's a hint for making lemonade. If you want it to be extra delicious pour into it the juice of a small pineapple that has been squeezed nearly dry. Ginger ale is also an addition.

DUMAS WAS FOND OF DOGS.

Great Romancer Wouldn't Permit Stray Pack to Be Driven Away. Fondness for dogs has been a marked characteristic of many famous men. Of the great romancer Dumas it is told that he once had a dog as hospitable as was his master mid that the dog once incited twelve other dogs to Monte Cristo, Dumas' palace, named after Iiis famous novel. Dumas factotum in chief wanted to drive off the whole pack.

Our Faces Not Our Own. "My boy" said a wise father, who knew how to play and be a chum with his twelve-year-old lad, "you do not own your own face." The boy looked puzzled. He had come to the breakfast table with a frowning clouded countenance and had started moodily to eat his food. Everybody felt the shadow of his ill spirits evident in his looks. His father's unexpected words' brought him back

to life, and he looked up with a half guilty expression, but he did not understand what was meant.

"You do not own your own face," his father repeated. "Do not forget j

that. It belongs to other people J-uey, not you, have to look at it. You have no right to compel them to look at a sour, gloomy and crabbed face." The boy had never thought of that, but he understood and did not forget. Christian UeralÜ. ' !

Strange as it may seem, nevertheless it is a fact that the rabbit in the illustration was mothered by the cat which is seen drinking from the same pan as her queer foster child. Foster parents are by no means rare among animals. Two little pups lost their mother when they were only a few, days old. and a kind mother cat adopted them. Another cat alienated the affections of four little chickens, sleeping with them to keep them warm and allowing them to roost on her back. She took care of them until they were able to take care of themselves.

somehow. He never asks me for a cent and lives like a nabob during the winter. It's too much for me." Mr. Layton frowned heavily as he

concluded his soliloquy. His keen mind I and indomitable will had enabled him

to solve the difficult problems of life and had raised him from the plane of poverty to that of great wealth. Notwithstanding his shrewdness, however, he had not been able to fathom the secret of his son's ways and means. Fred Layton had finished his college course and gained renown on the gridiron and in other athletic sports, but he had failed utterly in his studies aud had announced his intention of marrying Miss Edna Morris, a pretty girl, but decidedly poor. But Mr. Layton had planned that his son should wed the daughter of his partner, Miss Mattie Walton, and thus snwppfl in irroat wealth and the entire

control of an established ousiness. This difference of opinion between father and son led to a stormy interview, during which Mr. Layton declared that if Fred married Miss Morris the parental purse would be closed against him forever. With a shrug of his broad shoulders, the young man had in

timated that he could take care of himself and did not propose to ask his fatherfor financial aid. A month later the young people were quietly married. They established themselves in a cozy little flat in a fashionable neighborhood. They lived well, dressed well, entertained their friends and to all appearances were prosperous. ' Mr. Layton naturally thought this condition of affairs could not last, and

he smiled grimly as he thought of the conditions he would make when his son en me to him for aid. As the

peal tne Oiu gemiemau grew uiutu uuu more mystified. He made many inquiries as to his son's source of revenue, but only discovered that when Fred and his wife returned from their summer outing they brought back a snug sum in cash with them. Mr. Layton scanned the papers diligently to find out where they went. He inquired at the postoffice for their summer address and even telephoned to the owner of the flat, but no knowledge could be gained. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Layton disappeared as completely for a time as if the earth had swallowed them. The father grew restless and nervous, his digestion became impaired,

the plea of regaining his health, but in
