QUEER 8IDE OF JAPAN
Odd Faith Exhibited In the Mikado's
Domains
r " ' "
In Japan the lower orders of life
not only make war and Bupply meat
but evince other peculiarties that ren-
der them invaluable concomitants of
civilization A few days ago c num-
ber of people were keen gazing latent-
ly toward the upper limbs of a large
pine tree Stopping 'to learn the se-
cret of this unusual interest' a man
was observed descending the tree
while a crow was furiously cawing -nd
beating about his head then it was
seen that the trespasser had possessed
himself of one of her brood an unpre-
possessing little chick that no one
could be Imagined to fancy for a pet
Asked what he intended doing with
the young crow he replied that it
made excellent - medicine for the
blood: "Chi-no-mlchi-no kusuri” to
use his exact words To insure the
efficacy of the medicine he explained
the bird must be taken before it leaves
the nest if possible or if it has left
the nest before it gets to 'where it
can drink water for he asserted if
it has of Itself taken 'water it loses
all virtue as a blood-cure - The pro-
cess of preparing the remedy Is first
to kill the crow and without cleaning
it to encase the body in an air-tight
covering of cement or clay The
mould Is then baked for two or three
days in a hot fire When the clay
crust is removed naturally the crow
will be found to be black a lump of
pure charcoal This is pulverized and
converted into pills of the "pink” or-
der which are very popular here as a
blood regulator He reminded his v in-
terlocutors that the medicine was very
rare because -of the difficulty of find-
ing a crow that bad not taken water
The man was perfectly sincere and
appeared extremely proud of his suc-
cess in having secured the bird He
was reluctant to leave the tree lest
there should be another one on the
ground somewhere
Those who since the brilliant
achievements of the Japanese Red
Cross Society in the late war are ac-
customed to take for granted the ad-
vance of medical science in this coun-
try will of course bear in mind that
the practitioner under consideration
had not at this time acquired member-
ship in any legally recognized thera-
peutic fraternity but probably his
nostrum was quite as effective as
much of the medicine that is sold to
a large constituency at a higher price

ALASKA'S GREAT FISH RIVER
Nushagak the Basis of Important Can-
ning Industry
How many readers ever heard of the
Nushagak river asks the Youths Com-
ponion Not many It Is safe to say
Yet the department of commerce and
labor pronounces this river of western
Alaska “one of the important fishing
streams of the world” The fish which
the Nushagak furnishes is salmon the
taking canning freezing and salting
of which is an Alaskan Industry the
Importance of which Is shown by a re-
cent report issued by the department'
f 1902 there were 64 establishments'
which put up more than 2600000
cases Low prices since' then have
Bomewhat reduced both the number of
canneries and the output neverthe-
less since canning began in Alaska
nearly 22000000 cases have been sent
out In order to provide some coun-
terpoise to this tremendous drain the
packers combined to -start hatcheries
These have been carried on with im-
portant results and increasing success'
In 1905 the United Btates bureau of
fisheries took up the work in addition
to what had been done by the packers
There are now nine hatcheries from
which about 450000000 fry have been'
liberated - -

I Advent of - Little - Nellie Filled Volo
of Which Physician and His
Wife Were Scarcely Con-
scious Mrs Dayton entered her husband’s
study and sank into a chair
“You look hot Eleanor" said Dr
Dayton glancing up from a scientific
journal “Have you been out in the
sun?
“Yes I walked over' to the fresh-
air camp to see the children who
were brought from the city this morn-
ing” ’I wish you wouldn’t go there so
often Eleanor” he said a trifle im-
patiently ‘-’A visit to the fresh-air
camp seems to exhaust you more than
anything - else”
“But Harry I love to see the chil-
dren One such darling little girl came
this morning She has yellow curls
and big brown eyes and her name is
Nellie loosed to be called Nellie
when I was her age She’s from the
foundlings’ home and I couldn’t help
wishing Harry that we—”
Now dear don’t bring up that sub-
ject again You know I doubt the wis-
dom of adopting children and you are
not strong enough to assume the care
of a youngster” The doctor smiled
tehderly at Mrs Dayton - "Haven’t
you trouble enough looking after me
without flying to ills you know not
of?” As he ceased speaking the tel-
ephone bell rang
I’m wanted at the camp” he ex-
plained hanging up the receiver and
reaching for his medicine case “A
child lifted the - top of a beehive and
has been badly stung”
An hour later Mrs Dayton rose from
her porch hammock at the sound of
her husband’s voice “Here’s a little
visitior Eleanor!" he called
She ran out to the motor car and
took in her arms a limp little baby
girl “Why it’s Nellie!” she said
“Is it Nellie? I wasn’t thinking
about anything but her stings which
were pretty severe Talk about
grateful patients Eleanor! When I
managed to relieve the little thing's
sufferings she clung to me and I
simply couldn’t get away from her
So I told the matron we’d keep her
over night You see her face and
arms are badly swollen and she may
need more care than they'd have time
to give her at the camp” '
I like the doctor man” lisped Nel-
lie “I want to stay with him”
Mrs Dayton kissed the yellow curls
and laid the Child in the hammock
and the doctor disappeared into the
house murmuring something about
preparing a soothing lotion
One morning two weeks later the
matron of the fresh-air ' caihp tele-
phoned Dr Dayton that the children
with whom Nellie had come were to
be returned to the city that day She
requested him to bring Nellie to the
camp in time for the afternoon train'
To-day! Why’ is the time up al-
ready? Why — well you see I think
my wife wished to keep her — that is
He turned from the teelphone and
saw Mrs Dayton listening in the
doorway Her eyes were bright and
her cheeks wore an unwonted glow
of health She was a winsome pic-
ture with Nellie hanging to her skirts
and the chain of flowers in her bands
that she was weaving for the baby’s
curls
Oh Harry!” was all she said but
the look of love and gratitude In her
eyes filled his own with happy tears
