Rice Paper.

2 Most people have an idea that rice paper, out of which cigarettes are made, is made of ofrice-ninety-nine out of every one hundred smokers share this opinion. Rice does not enter into the composition at all, and the name is a misnomer. The so-called rice paper is made from the pitch of a small tree which is indigenous to Formosa. It is found nowhere else, I believe. It be- longs to the family which is repre- sented in this country by the sarsapa- rilla. The pith is pure white. The stems are sent to China, where the pa per is made. It is used largely by the Chinese artists for water-color drawings. Those illustrated Chinese and Japanese books are made of it. The Chinese and Japs also dye the. pa per and make artificial flowers of it.

The Japanese Bathing Hour.

In Germany at one o'clock all the world is taking an after-dinner smoke or an after-dinner nap, and business, even banking, is suspended. In Japan the bathing hour is before supper, and between five and six o'clock every liv- ing being is nude. The public baths are crowded. At home children, young people and old people are in the tub, getting in or getting out of the tub, which is placed in the garden, in court yards, shops or on the piazza, without the least apology Of a screen. If a GUS toner appears the bather talks busi- ness over the water, and in private families callers are neither abashed nor embarrassing. In the humble quarters the tubs are set on the threshold, and neighbors on opposite sides of the street gossip, chatter and exchange the most amiable greetings. The pational towel is nankin blue.

Yellow Italians Are Vicious.

There seems to be a sort of Impres- sion among the farmers in our own vicinity that extra yellow bees must be extra pure Italians. Judging by the way the orders have run for the yellow stock, this impression must be general; but every practical queen breeder knows that is mistake. The fve-banders are simply sports, selected for color. from Italian stock-that is all. And by the way, some of them sting: it would almost seem as if they had ''sported' a little from Cyprian stock. We have quite a large number of colonies of extra yellow bees in our yard, and our apiart has never had crosser bees, or bees more inclined to rob, than this year, They bred like Cyprians, and then stopped long be- fore the ordinary Italians We shall get them all out of our yard another season, unless their temper and rob- ping propensities improve. = Ohio Farmer.
 WITH the sheep breeder now work ing to produce the best and most nut ton, it is more necessary than ever that the breeders of all kinds of meat pro- ducing animals should breed the best.
