Warned by a Dream.

/ was told of an instance lately which
is, perhaps, not worthy of mention. On
the occasion of the fatal accident to a
lift in Paris-I think at the Grand hotel
"a few years ago, lady who was just
going going up in it started back, say
ing: "Oh, there is that dreadful man
again!" and tried to induce her husband
to come off it too, but he refused, and
was among the killed. The dreadful
man" to whom she referred she had
seen in dream, which the niece of the
friend who told me the story had heard
her relate day or two before the acct
dent. 1t was of funeral drawn up at
her door, so pompous as to produce a
great impression on her, presided over
by big, dark man in strange SOM
brero hat. This man she saw, or be-
lieved she saw, in the lift, and the coin
cidence terrified her from going up in
it.-Notes and Queries.

TWO ANCIENT DOCTORS,
How They Fought Each other With In
visible Weapons.

How They Fought Each other With In
visible Weapons.
An old chronicer tells the following
quaint story of couple of physicians
who were attached to the household of
Louis TX One was called Deroldus,
and was afterward bishop of Amiens;
the other, whose name has not been
preserved, let us designate the Salerni-
tan, because he was native of Salerno.
Between these men of science arose a
discussion, which was not slow to
degenerate into quarrel-Derodu
haunting the Salernitan with igno-
rance because he was unable to
explain the Greek names by which
certain branches of medicine are
distinguished. The scientific bre asst, as
we all know, is not inaccessible to the
passions of jealousy and revenge, and
the Salernitan, smarting under the
contempt of his adversary, resolved to
inflict upon him mortal punishment.
If in those days of darkness the prac-
titioners of the so-called healing art
were but ill-provided with curative
agents, they were by no means in want
of those which kill, and one day, when
the Salernitan found himself at the
kings table with Deroldus, he secretly
anointed his finger with some deadly
preparation and contrived to slip it into
the soup in which both of them STEPPED
their pieces of bread. No sooner had
Deroldus tasted of the dish than he was
seized with qualm, and at once UNI
derstood that he had been poisoned.
Thanks, however, to the virtues of the
antidote, which he kept by him, in
three days he was out of danger. Then
came his turn for revenge, which his
superior skill enabled him to render
more effective. Meeting his rival again
at the royal table, he concealed pow.
der between his little finger and fore
finger and sprinkled it cunningly over
his viands. The Salernitan vainly ex
hausted his scant store of medical
knowledge in endeavoring to neutralizt
the effects of the poison, and was com
peeled to seek the aid of Deroldus, who
at the earnest request of the king, con
sented to doctor" him, but so contrivec
that the malady was driven into one o.
the feet of the Salernitan and compiled
him to submit to amputation. the

MAKING RICE PAPER.
a Process That Seems Easy, but Is Really
Dinicult

a Process That Seems Easy, but Is Really
Difficult
The so-called rice paper is not made
from rice, as its name implies, but from
the snow-white pith of small tree be-
longing to the genus Aralia, genus
represented in the United States by the
common sarsaparilla and the spilSenard
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 by native artists for
watercolor drawings, or dyed of va
rious colors and made into artificial
flowers. Mr.. Hosie, in his ''Three Years
in Western China" describes the process
of making the paper:
81 was invited to visit a worker in
pith after nightfall. Although some
what surprised at the hour named, I
accepted the invitation.
'On arriving at the house, | was
ushered into a badly-lighted room,
where man was sitting at table
with his tools in front of him. These
consisted of smooth stone about a
foot square, and a large knife or Ratchet
with short wooden handle. The blade
was about foot long, two inches
broad, and nearly half an inch thick at
the back. 1t was sharp as a razor.
"Placing a piece of cylindrical pith
on the stone, and his left hand on the
top, he rolled the pith backward and
forward for a moment until he got it
into the required position. Then, seiz-
ing the knife with his right hand he
held the edge of the blade, after a
! 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 APP
plication of the knife, been pared into
square white sheet of uniform thick
ness. 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 unroll it to the
| left, he will havea good idea of how the
feat was accomplished. ia"
1T seemed so easy that determined
] to have trial Posing as profess
sional worker succee led in hacking
the pith, and in nearly manning myself

required for the work, and hence it is
