The KhedIva of Egypt.

Miss Kate Marsden, the missionary to
the lepers, who is now travelling to col
lect information about the stricken
people to whose service she has conse-
Grated her life, was invited, during her
brief stay in Alexandria, to be presented
to the khediva. Her highness, the
Princess Emineh Hanen, the khediva, is
the daughter of the late Prince Ell Hamy
Pasha, and is the mother of two fine
boys and two pretty girls She is fine
looking woman of about 30 years, with
bright brown eyes, expressive enough to
interpret the thoughts she could not put
in words to her English visitor. She has
an imposing figure, which was, ON the
occasion of the presentation, draped to
advantage in we'll made black gown.
The palace Of the khediva is peculiar
structure, painted entirely white, sur
rounded by a court prettily decorated
with green creepers, and paved with a
peculiar mosaic made of stones in two
colors, all turned on their sides. The
maids in attendance in the inner hall

inlaid and polished floors. The royal
lady graciously welcomed the plainly
dressed woman who came before her in
II costume unlike anything ever seen in
the presence chamber before, for Miss
Marsden, to quote her own words, was
limited to choice between three severely
plain uniforms, one of which was
crushed, the second very creased, and
the third on my back, its freshness all
gone, likewise some of its buttons. But
the meeting was pleasant Tea was
served in exquisite little cups with no
handles and the plain woman in the
travel worn gown and heavy boots was
made to forget, by the courtesy of her
royal hostess, that she was not in full
court dress. = London Star.

The so called rice paper is not made
from rice, as its name implies, but from
the SHOW white pith of small tree be-
longing to the genus Aralia, a genus
represented in the United States by the
common sarsaparilla and the spikenard.
The tree grows in Formosa, and, so far
as is known, nowhere else. The stems
are transported to China, and there the
rice paper is made, which is used by
native artists for water color drawings,
or dyed of various colors and made into
artificial flowers. Mr.. Hosie, in his
"Three Years in Western China" de-
scribes the process of making the paper.
| was invited to visit worker in pith
after nightfall. Although somewhat
surprised at the hour named, | accepted
the invitation.
On arriving at the house l was ushered
into badly lighted room, where man
was sitting at table with his tools in
front of him. These consisted of a
smooth stone, about foot square, and
large knife OF hatchet with a short
wooden handle. The blade was about a
foot long, two inches broad, and nearly
half an inch thick at the back 1t was
sharp as Il razor.
Placing piece of cylindrical pith on
the stone, and his left hand on the top,
he rolled the pith backw ward and forward
for moment until he got it into the re-
quired position Then, siezing the knife
with his right hand he held the edge of
the blade, after feint or two, close to
the pith, which he kept rolling to the
left with his left hand until nothing
remained to unroll; for the pith had, by
the application of the knife, been pared
into square white sheet of uniform
thickness. All that remained to be done
was to square the edges.
If the reader will roll up sheet of
paper, lay it on table, place the left
hand on top, and gently unroIl it to the
left, he will have good idea of how the
feat was accomplished.
1t seemed so easy that determined to
have a trial. Posing as a professional
worker, l succeeded in hacking the pith,
and in nearly manning myself.
Asteady hand and keen eye are re-
quired for the work, and hence it is that
the so called rice paper is manufactured
only at night. when the city is asleep
and the makers are not liable to be dis
turbed

Recently pub, ished statistics of the
contain some points of sp cial interest
Since 1874 the number of textile mills
of all kinds has decreased from Z, 1884 to
7,190. But the capacity of the Mills has
increased, as is shown from the fact
that the number of spinning spindies
has grown from As, 1893 107 to 4S, 400. 1888
and the number of looms from 667. TIL
to 1922, 4S9. There are also near.y so 900
more persons employed in the proIuc-
ton of textiles, the number for 1874 be-
ing 1,005, ,6S5, and for 1889 being 1,OS4,
631. The number of woolen mills has
declined from 1900 to 1893 but the
number of looms has grown from 5000
to 81, ,831, and the tot al number Of per-
sons employed from 134, COS to 14S 729
There has been an increase of the num-
ber of wor ted mills from 692 to 753,
with growth of tile number of per-
sons employed from 142,097 to 14S, 1924
The number of woolen and Norsted
spindles in the United Kingdom is s.
$40, ,131, which is an addition of only
161 no spindles since 1874, a plain indi-
cation that the process of development
in this industry is losing its force. The
number of cotton mills has also de-
clined from 1855 in 1874 to 2, 53S in 1889.
But the spindles have increased from
81, SIS, 772 to 40,511 934, and tie total
number of persons employed from 49,
515 to 529 795. The American cotton
manufacture is growing with much
greater lapdity. In 1880 we had i'll
this country 10, ,653 435 cotton spindIes.
Last year we had IA, $50, 900. Since 1867
the American consumption of cotton
has trebled, while that of England has
increased about 33 per cent. At this
rate. it will not be long before we shall
overtake England in these departments
of manufacture~ITextile Record.

DakOta's Bad Lands.

The Bad Lands of Dakota are com.
posed of white clay, which, by the ac.
ton of rains, has been cut into hillocks.
They are not high, seldom more than 40
OF so feet, but it is up one and down an
other the whole way. There are no
water courses, the nearest approach be.
ing a gully 40 feet deep, with a foot
and half Of mud at the bottom. At
every few yards you must stop, and,
with spade and shovel, cut path down
the side of hill in order to descend and
then up the side of the one opposite in
order to get up again. The mud is as
sticky as tar, and in going few yards
the wheels of wagon become solid
round cakes, and all the mules you can
hitch to it will not be able to pull it a
foot farther. Then the spades are
brought and the wheels cleared, the op.
GRAFTON being repeated two Or three
times in 100 yards. The extent of the
Bad Lands in Dakota is probably 100
miles from north TO south by Is to 80
miles wide. Il Chicago Tribune.

Burning to Death,

Among the horrors of the battle of
Charlottesville was the catching fire
of an abatis and the burning f wounded
wounded man, months afterward, told
Mr.. Goss, who relates the story in his
"Recollections of a Private" that lie
watched the flames and counted the
minutes when they would strike him,
but was unexpectedly saved by a little
pool of water which arrested the fire
just in season. Another man, a hospital
comrade, said to Mr.. Goss:
II was among the wounded just out
side the abatis when it got afire. This
leg you see was as limp as dish rag,
but l couldn't see the poor fellows lurn
in that way. So, u sing my nu ket for

"The underbrush cracked and roared,
and the poor fellows howell and
shrieked when the fire got at them; and
by and by another Confederate-I uess
he was raggler-came up and began
to help, too, and we fcu hit the fire all
together.
1--WE We're trying to re. Gu, a young
fellow in gray-the fire was all around

eyes were big and blue, and his hair like

flame, and then l heard him scream.
oh, mother! Oh, God! 1t left me
