Excessive Infusion will spoil a good tea, but even a short Infusion of a bad tea may be as objectionable as an exces- slve Infusion of a good tea. On physi ological grounds, therefore, the con sum er of high quality teas runs loss risk of digestive disturbance, provided the tea la made properly.

Tukio, Ju ly 29.— M uUuhito, for 4-1 years em peror of Japan, died a t 12:13 o ’clock th is m orning. Yo Shihito, llaru-No-M iya, reigns under the form ula provided by the 'co n stitu tio n pro mulgated by M utsuhito (th e king is dead; long live the king). M utsuhito, who was the 121st em peror of Japan, had been unconscious many hours p rior to his death anil the empress, the crown prince and the most prom inent officials of the house hold and governent, w ere a t the bed side. H aruko, now dow ager em press. yields to Princess Sadako, the young em press, who is the m other of three sons, of whom the eldest is Elirohito. H aruko has won universal sym pathy because of her u n tirin g vigil in the sick room, where she rem ained continually for ten days. Even on the last day she pitifu lly begged the phy sicians to secure a short resp ite for the dying em peror. E verything known to science was done to prolong the life of the sover eign. The whole nation w atched pa thetically, because the death of the em peror would establish a new record in the history of Jap an and the people cling alm ost fiercely to the trad itio n w ith which the dying monarch ap p ear ed indissolubly linked. The outcome was in evitable from the sta rt on July 19. D eath was due to acute n ephritis, also known as B rig h t’s disease, complicated by d ia betes and an intestinal affection. When the physicians recognized the hopelessness of the case, every pre paration was m ade for the end. The im perial princes, the m inisters and notables were summoned to the palace and rem ained in the o u ter rooms for 21 hours. A few of the oldest, who have been closely associated w ith the emperor, w ere p erm itted to see him, while the public, contrary to custom, was tnken into the confidence of the physicians, who issued bulletins hour ly, giving details of the progress of the disease. M utsuhito, em peror of Jap an , pos sessed a personality of which hut l it tle is generally known. Of a quiet, unassum ing natu re, y et w ith a will of iron, he accomplished g re a t reform s. As a statesm an he commanded the re s p e c to f the nations of the world. As a leader in peace and in w ar, he was both loved and feared. To his virtu es they a ttrib u te d the v ictories over th e ir enem ies by land and sea. To his wisdom they credited the advance of ancient Ja p a n to a place in the fro n t rank of nations. H is reign began in 1867 and o u t lasted th a t of all but two or th ree liv ing monarchs. Novel Fly Trap. RESCUED MEN LIKE BEASTS.

DEPARTMENT ISSUES RULINGS UNDER NEW THREE-YEAR HOMESTEAD LAW W ashington, D. C. — The In terio r dep artm en t has ju s t issued in stru c tions for the tn fo rcem en l of the three- y ear hom estead bill, which passed con gress and was signed hy the president on June 6. These instructions will he sent to the various local laud offices, and will r.ot only guide reg isters and receivers in the carrying out of the law, but will he a guide to hom estead ers who come under the law. Already, the dep artm en t has forw arded to every hom estead entrym an a copy of the act of Ju n e 6, 1912, and instructions will he available a t local land offices for those who desire fu rth e r enlighten m ent. The instructions are explained in the follow ing synopsis prepared by the com m issioner of the general land office: ■ 1. The period o f residence is re duced from five years to three, the cred it to begin, however, from the establishm ent of actual residence upon the land; proof m ust be subm itted w ithin five years from the date of en try. 2. C u ltivation fb r three years, counting from the date o f entry, is re quired, incluiling actual cultivation of not less than one-sixteenth of the area beginning w ith the second y ear and not less than one-eighth beginnng w ith the third y e ar and until final proof. T illage of the soil is required; a m ere breaking of the soil is not sufficient, but th is m ust be accom panied by p lanting or Bowing seed G razing ia not accepted, except w ith respect to certain lands opened to en try under special acts providing th ere for. E xcept as to certain lands in Idaho and U tah h e rea fte r mentioned, the cultivation required is the same on e n tries under the enlarged homestead acts as on ordinary en tries; th a t is, the cultivation o f the form er (hereto fore required) as reduced hy half. 5. The secretary of the interior is authorized to reduce the required area of c u ltiv a tio n ; th is will not be done on account o f the physical or financial d isa b ilitie s or m isfortunes of the en- trym en, but only w here exaction of cultivation to the sta tu to ry proportion is unreasonable under the peculiar conditions governing the lands. The entrym an m ust m ake application for the reduction during the first year of his entry. Form s will be furnished for th a t purpose. These applications are prim arily passed upon by the gen eral land office, but the ultim ate de cision thereon re sts w ith the secretary of the interior. 4. A fte r residence upon the lands for one year, soldiers and sailors who served in tim e e f w ar may have c red it for the period o f th e ir service. They m ust, however, show cultivation of not less th an one-eighth of the area for a t lea st one year. 6. The general land office is au thorized to extend for not more than six m onths allowed for establishm ent of residence, on account of clim atic conditions, sickness or other unavoid able cause. A pplications for this re lie f will not be considered in advance, but the hom esteader's rig h ts will be adjudicated when the question is raised. The hom esteader ia required to go upon the land when the hinder ing cause is removed. 6. The entrym an may absent him self for one continuous period o f not more than five m onths in each y ear follow ing establishm ent o f his re si dence, but he m ust show bona fide con tinues residence during rem aining por tions of the three-year period. Two five-m onths’ periods of absence im m e diately succeeding each other, though in different years of entry, will not be allow ed; six m onths’ absence renders the entry subject to contest. More over, in considering e ith e r final proof or contests, extended periods of ab sence are respected only w here notice has been given to the local land office of the beginning of the intended ab sence and also notice of the home ste ad e r's return. The acts allowing leave of absence to be granted by the lo-al officers have not been repealed. 7. The privilege of com m utation (w here it heretofore existed) is not affected by the new act, except th a t the entrym ran m ust be a citizen of the U nited States, and the old prac- tice under which com m utation was al lowed hy persons who had m erely de clared th e ir intention of becoming citizens is now abrogated as to all en tries. 8. W here a hom estead entrym an dies, his widow or o th er sta tu to ry suc cessors may m ake up the three-year period by adding to g eth er the period during which the entrym an complied with the law and the period during which they cultivated the land, re si dence not being required of them . However, if the entrym an him self has not complied w ith the law in all re spects before his death, the e n try is forfeited by his default, and, upon proper proof, the en try will be can celled. 9. Unless a hom estead claim ant files an election on or before October 4, 1912, to m ake proof th e re a fte r under the old law, the entry is subject to the provisions of the three-year law of June 6, 1912. The required re si dence is thus reduced from five to three years, but the specific cu ltiv a tion provided by the act m ust be shown. Moreover, proof m ust be subm itted w ithin five years a fte r the date of entry. 10. Any hardships which m ight re su lt from the above a re elim inated by the ruling of the secretary th a t a per son having an entry under the old law may show the cultivation of the pro portions named in the new law for two successive years, though they may not be the second and third years of the entry. Moreover, he holds th a t where the proof, show ing compliance w ith the new law, is subm itted upon an old en try a fte r the ex piration of five years from its date, the en try may be, in the absence of adverse claims, subm itted to the board of equitable adjudication for confirma tion. Said board consists of the sec re ta ry of the in te rio r and the attorney general. 11. W here the priee of a tra c t of land is required to be paid, the annual installm ents extending beyond the period of residence required under the new law, proof may be subm itted as in other cases, final certificates not issuing until the e n tire purchase price has been paid. 12. On en tries of arid lands in Idaho and U tah for cultivation w ith out residence, the period of cultiv a tion is not reduced; th is m ust am ount to one-eighth during the second year and one-fourth during the third, fourth and fifth years. Seven years is allowed for subm ission of proof. 13. All the provisions of the act apply to en tries under the reclam ation acts and the K inkaid e n tries in W est ern N ebraska, excepting the provis ion as to cultivation. 14. Persons having en tries m ade prior to Ju n e 6, 1912, are especially warned th a t it m ay be to th e ir advan tage to have th e ir e n trie s adjudicated under the new law, and th a t they should carefully consider the m a tte r; if they desire to subm it proof under the law s under which th e ir en tries were made, they m ust on or before October 4, 1912, file a t the local land office an election to do so; blank forma will be furnished by the various local land offices.
