RICE Rice lias been cultivated from time immemorial. It forms a larger part ot hu man food than the product of any other one plant—it is an almost exclusive diet in the tropical countries. Rice, combined with fatty or nitrogenous substances, such as milk or gravy, is sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the human system. But like all other food pro ducts, there is a rice of high and low degree. Oir Bice is Strictly High Grade It is thoroughly cleaned of husks, broken grains and dust, and leaves our store in ah abso lutely clean and pure state. Rice is one of our staple articles. We sell barrels upon barrels of it. Ever drink rice—milk? It’s a great drink in England. Made of boiling milk and thickening it with rice. Nourishing and re freshing. Try it sometime.

CASNOW A correspondent of the London Times thus describes the departure of the Russians from Port Arthur for Dalny after the surrender: “Then occurred a scene which those who witnessed it will never forget and will ever remember with shame and disgust Even third class carriages are scarce on the Dalny-Port Arthur Une and one has to be content to make the Journey in open trucks, but on this occuslou there was a saloon for Stoessel, with a few carriages for the women and children. Directly the general and his wife had entered the train one expected to see the women and children led forward and assisted iuto the remaining vacant seats. But uo, the crowd of generals and officers pushed forward and entered the car riages, pushing past the women and children without paying the slightest regard for ihem. Soon every single carriage was packed with these gentle- j men, and the women and children were i left mi the platform sitting on >their luggage. | “The indignation of every foreigner I present and every Japanese was in stantly avoused by this last exhibition I of callousness and brutality. ‘They | treat their women like so many beasts,' i was the comment of one. Some of the j statiou officials and the Japanese otli- interveued and assisted the help- j ones Into the most empty of the open trucks, which were already nearly | full of the officers' servants, who, tak- ! ing the cue from their masters, were not going to wait for the women and children to be seated first.

It was the historic night of the 20th of May, on the bill flopes of thq Nan- shau. We had driven the Russian* down the hillside. The Nippon armj/ bivouacked upon the battlefield atop af the Nayshau. Campfires flickered up on as sad and bloody a field of battle as one could possibly see. Au officer who had missed a comrade was search ing over the battlefield for his lost friend, lie had wandered long far into the night. At length he cauie upon twb soldiers who were trying to bury the remains of a heroic dead man. As tbp light of Ills lantern fell upon the life less body the officer, who had been wandering up and down the field Off. carnage, was electrified by the dlseov*- erv of the remains of his old comrade.

A new railway track layer, with a crew of forty men, will lay two miles of track a day, according to the In dianapolis News. The track layer has a hugo crane sixty feet long, which projects forward over the road and hauls behind It a train of sixteen flat cars, loaded with ties and rails. A continuous double line of cars moves constantly over roF'rs and carries the tie ^vith It. Both rails and ties are seized and placed on the road front of the train, whero they shortly form a part of the track over which it passes. The device is said to bo the most expeditious as well as economi cal track layer in the world. To Detect Bogus Bills.
