on trees and rocks, is built of material
which resembles the most delicate

Eighteen hundred years ago, the
Chinese, acting upon the wasps sug-

ter reduced to pulp Now, each prov
ince makes its own peculiar variety
from the inner most bark of different
trees. The young bamboo. which
grows six or eight inches In a single
night is whitened. reduced to pulp in
q mortar. and sized with alum. From
this pulp sheets of paper are made in a
mold by hand. The celebrated Chinese
rice paper. that so resembles woolen
and silk fabrics. and on which are
painted quaint birds and flowers. is
manufactured from compressed pith.
which is first cut spirally. by keen
knife, into thin slicos, six inches wide
and twice as long. Immense quanti-
ties of paper are used by the Chinese

day his uncle died, leaving Billy
Dcutsch $1,000. II was not great

the young man for the time being.
He left his position, went on bender for
a night or two, and then PLAYED roulette
at Murray's place in Twenty-eighth

capital $4,000, when he started for Eu-
rope two days later. At that time the
game Of baccarat was Just becoming
popular In New York. II was imported
from France. The game is the most
popular of all table games now, not ex-

that the gambling places in Paris re-
