1t passed through this trying winter
without any severe injury. 1t is asmall
tree of the ivy family. 1t grows tc a
height of ten or twelve feet. The stem
is from thre to four incl es in diameter.
The interior is fall of white pith like the
pith OF the elder. This is the plant from
which genuine rice paper is manufac-
tured. It's leaves are soft and downy,
shaped somewhat like the leaves of the
castor bean. The plant producing IT, is
paper was long unknown to botanists.
The Chinese carefully guarded the Sc
cret, so as to monopol z the manufacture
of the paper. The paper is made from
the pith of the trees. 1t averages about
an inch in diameter. After being re-
moved it is cut into pieces about three
inches long. By the aid of a lath and
the use OF a sharp instrument it is re-
duced into thin roll, and it is this roll
which becomes the rice paper.-Ex-

SCOT for Manure and Insecticide.

Mr.. M. Norris, Gilmer county, writes ::
Never waste any SCOT. l first noticed
it's effect on patch of grass where I
threw the SCOT from the chimney and
stove. I afterwards applied it to all
garden and house plants. I telieve it
to be an excellent dressing for grass
land. II applied just before a warm
rain in spring, it will increase the prod
uct largely, I especially recommend it
for lawn plants around the house, and
for keeping the little black flea bugs off
the young plants just after they make
their appearance above ground; also for
the squash and cucumber bugs. AS a
fertilizer for potatoes, [ think there is
nothing better. l advise all of my farm
ing sisters to give it a trial.-Ohio

Treading w alter.

woman or a child can assume in water is
to float perpend;cularly. Any person
without any previous practice, can tread
water, and 80 keep afoat for a long
time. He should keep his hands below
the surface OF the water, hislung sinfated
and his feet moving up and down as in
walking. Let the man overheard"
throw his hands and arms out Of the
water, let him raise an Outcry whereby
the air is expelled from the lungs, and he
will sink to the bottom. The trouble is
that nine people out of ten lose their
presence of mind when they are in water
out of their depth for the first time. II,
instead of struggling and fioundering
about, they would do a little walking,
there would not be the slightest danger
OF drowning right away.
Any one can tread water in the first
attempt. No preliminary teaching is
necessary. Treading water is simply
walking into the water out ofone's depth,
with or without the aid of ones hands.
The operation is not unlike running up.
stains, and, if anything, easier. Truly,
any man, any woman, or child who can
walk up stairs, can walk in the water,
and remember, on the first attempt, with
Outany previous instruction or practice.
Hence say that persons really ignO-
rant OF the art of swimming are perfectly
safe in water out of their depth. Very
often you hear people exclaim: ugh! if
this boat we're to upset, I'd drown, OF
course. | can't swim, you know"
Yes, but you can tread water. Most
of us attach a wrong significance to the
word "swim." Why should we mean one
thing when a man swims and another or
different thing when a dog swims? The
dog cannot "swim" as a man swims. but
any man can swim "dog fashion" in
stantIy and for the first time. The ami
NAL has no advantage in any way over
man, and yet the man browns while the
animal "swims." The dog, the horse,
the COW and even the cat all take to the
water, and are able to walk as they do
when out OF water. Throw dog into
the stream and at oncehe begins towalk,
just as he does on dry land, Why should
a man, woman or child act differently
under like circumstances?
1t seems strange that people have to
be told to do what the animals do in
stinctively and instantly. Mans ignor-
ance of so simple a thing as treading wa
ter is remarkable; it is without reason or
excuse. There is apopular notion afoat
that in some way the dog and the an
finals have an advantage over man in
water. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The advantage lies with man,
who is provided with a paddle-formed
hand, and knows enough to float when
tired-something the animal rarely or
never does.
Next to treading water, floating on
the back is the easiest thing to do in
water. This consists in lying fat on the
back, head thrown well back, the lungs
inflated, the limbs extended but flexible,
the arms held close to the ears, the hands
over the head. The majority of people
able to sustain themselves in the water
prefer to float in horizontal position
rather than in perpendicular manner.

the young element of the city into its ranks.
The Acme Club. being now a regularly

old barn a fitting headquarters. and there
fore a store on the corner of Webster and
Eighth streets was rented and fitted up as
a gymnasium, with dressing and reception

There seemed to be but little enthusiasm
among the younger element of Oakland'S

IMPORTED HARMONY.
An Imperial Chinese Band Performs
at the Pavilion.

What was said to be an imperial Chinese
band obliged with a few choice selections at
the citrus fair last night. Ii there were any
savage breasts in the Pavilion, they were
certainly soothed beyond the widest hopes
of the musicians. In fact, everybody laughed
and seemed to enjoy ii.
The band, which consisted Of ten pieces,
mostly drums. is known as the Imperial
Celestial Orchestra, direct from the palace
of the Emperor at Picking.
Being of an obligDg disposition, the En-
peror kindly loaned his imperial orchestra
to the Pavilion for one night only. taking a
receipt from the directors for the same. The
band is on its way to the Worlds Fair

Donellen put up pole or bar on which to
hang the biggest gong. There were two

The musicians themselves could name the

on their faces they evidently felt they had
knocked out Cassasa's band.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
A Compositor Falls Down Long
Stairway With TrifIinQ Injuries.

Louis Il. Ward, well-known compoSltor,

day afternoon at 51S Sacramento street.
He had beer calling upon the compositors

he reached the top Of the stairs he missed
his footing and rolled to the bottom heels

that his only injuries consisted OF q frac-
tured nose and some bruises on the body.

Commerce. who saw the accident, said 10 a

mentary remarks from the property

Thomas Terry declared that the bid of
$4,000 for the grading Of the square was ex-
ceedingly low, aud he charged that other
contractors had influenced several members
of the Board Of Supervisors to oppose the
Improving OF the square. Mr.. Terry fur
Their stated that if the Board Of Supervisors
refused to allow $1,000 for Lobos square the
property-Owners would raise the money and
complete the work themselves.
A long resolution in reference to the griev-
ance was adopted, and 1t will be sent to the
Board Of Supervisors at its next meeting.
A committee was also appointed 10 confer

tiOn that there are in the clubs district $40
acres OF land which are admirably adapted
