AN IMPORTANT TRANSFER.
Real Estate on Fremont Street Sold for
100000.

&6O,UOU.
Joseph c. Deming has bought the two
story brick bnilding occupied by the Paci-
fc Saw Manufacturing Company on Ere
mont street for $50, 900. The building itself
has compar ativeIy little value in compari-
son with structures near it, though its
rental is estimated at 6 per cent of the
purchase price.
The lot has frontage of 45 feet 10 inches
on Fremont street, depth of 1877 feet 6
inches, and is situated 1S2 feet south OF
Market street.
This is the first transfer of property in

The price is little over $500 front foot.
Ii a modern building were erected on the
lot good income could be realized from
rents, and for that reason the price is re-
garded as quite reasonable.

The Rice-Paper Tree.

The rice-paper tree, one of the most
interesting of the fora of China, has
recently been successfully expert
mented with in Florida, where it now
hourishes, with other sub. tropical and
Oriental species of trees and shrubs,
says the st. Louis Republic. When
first tran splanted in American soil the
experimenters expressed doubts of its
hardness, fearing that it would be uu-
able to stand the winters. All these
fears have vanished, however, and it
is now the universal opinion that it is
as we'll adapted to the climate of this
country as to that of the famed Flowery
Kingdom.
1t is a small tree, growing to height
of less than fifteen feet, with q trunk
or stem from three to five inches in
diameter. It's canes, which vary in
color according to season, are large,
soft and downy, the form somewhat
resembling that noticed in those of
the castor bean plant. The ce,ebra-
ted rice paper, the product of this
queer tree, IS formed of thin slices of
the pith, which is taken from the body
of tho tree in beautiful cylinders sew
eral inches in length.
The Chinese workmen apply the
blade of a sharp, straight knife to
these cylinders, and, turning them
round either by rude machinery or by
hand, dexterously pare the pith from
the circumference to center This
operation makes roll of extra quality
paper, the scroll being of equal thick
ness throughout. After cylinder has
thus been pared it is unrolled and
weights are placed upon it until the
surface is rendered uniformly smooth
throughout its entire length,
1t is altogether probable that if rice
paper making becomes an industry in
the United States these PRINT ivd
modes will all be done ava y with.

Dogs Response TO q Taunt.

A dog story has come to the writer's
ears which, though not within his per.
sonal knowledge, is vouched for to him
in an entirely Trustworthy way. A
certain dog, which was growing old,
was in barn one day with his master.
The two we're up on haymow from
which sloping ladder led down to
the barn floor. The master walked
down the ladder, but the dog went
around by another way. When the
dog reached the barn floor his master
began to say to him somewhat taunt-
ingly: "Poor old fellow Daren't
walk down the ladder any more !
Daren't walk down tho ladder |"
Whereupon the dog, with quick
glance at his master, walked clear up
the ladder to the top and then turned
around and walked down it again. The
proceeding looked very much like q
deliberate demonstration on the dogs
part, to his master, that he was still
capable of walking up and down n
slanting ladder. Did the dog under.
stand the taunt, or did he merely
catch the words 'down the ladder, "
and take the utterance for command,
which he dutifully proceeded to obey
No one will ever know, probably,
since the dog himself can give NJ &C,

The Chiropodlst on Pointed Shoes.

81 am sorry to see a tendency on
the part of men to forsake the sharp
pointed shoe that has held the fashion
for so long and to return to the broader
style of extremity" said q leading
chiropodist. "The change, if it come
about as / expect it will, will have a
pretty substantial effect for the worse
upon my business. Two-thirds of the
patients who come to me suffering
from painful callous growths on their
feet are the victims of sharptoed shoes.
There is only one foot in n thousand
that can wear such an article with
anything like comfort, but the 999
who can't, stand the misery IN order
to make a pretty pedal appearance.
The contracted space allowed for the
toes in such shoes crowds them to-
gether as in wise, and circulation in
them stops and corns and bunions are
the result. No one should wear n shoe
which does not allow the joints of the
toes to work naturally, but it should
always fit the foot closely and snugly.
A loose shoe is as provocative of corns
and other foot ailments rs a tight and
narrow one. Washington Post.

is one of those strange diseases that
limit themselves luckily to particu-

few tribes along the coast of Guinea.
1t is generally thought that Europeans
cannot take it, but the idea is an
erroneous one, or, at any rate, there
are exceptions, or Lieutenant Gilby's
father died of it, when my friend was
boy of ten. His father was Captain
of trading vessel, and the Lieuten-
ant was accompanying him on a voy-
age when they called at the Guinea
Coast. He therefore saw his father in
all the indescribable agony of the dis
ease, which seems more like hydro
phobia than anything else, although it
is infectious.
"The sight made great impression
on him, and, since his constitution
was quite similar to his fathers, he ha d
always suffered from an almost super
natural terror of the Guinea Coast.
He was quite persuaded that if he ever
went ashore there he would catch the
disease and die like his father. Lash
ton, it seems, was aware of this mono
mania of his; tor it almost amounted
to monomania.
"And he had really caught the dis
ease?" l asked.
Macpherson smiled. "He thought
he had. The first symptom is the APP
pearance of small black marks on the
arm or eg."-Pall Mall Budget.

In the cold starlight where thou canst mo-

Suffer him not to rest.

This hath a relish Of eternity.

No time to replenish his vanishing health,
No time to enjoy his swlft-gathering wealth;
But he found time to die;

No time in his life just to think and be still,
No time for his neighbors, no time for his
