The Mother of Statesmen" has pro-

departure, says the Philadelphia Times
Everything must have u beginning,
however and who knows, now that the
fairy stone has found such favor in the
world of fashion, what possibilities she
may develop in this direction? These
queer bits of petrified earth are in
digcnous to Patrick, a southern border
county of Virginia, cut off from Henry
and called. like the latter, in honor of
the statesman and orator. Patrick
Henry. They are not eXcavatcd for,
but lie loose upon the surface of the
earth, and, though restricted to two or
three parts of the county, exist in great
numbers and various sizes.
Upon each stone representation of
the cross is distinctly though delicately
traced, and 4 legend concerning them
states that Il band of fairies, dwelling
ut Jerusalem during the life of our
Saviour, and witnessing the awful
scene on Calvary, were SO Mortified by
it that they fed to this remote region
and transformed themselves into these
pctriiied cmblemS. This legend has
given rise to innumcrable Superstitions.
and from time inncmOrial the stones
have been worn as alnulets by those
living in the vicinity in which they are
found.
The reputation was local. however,

jlt was soon discovered that no tedious
process was necessary for its develop

along the outline stamped upon it's sur
face converted the jagged stone into Il

gave the requisite Smoothncss and the

The Chinese Tree Is Now Successfully
Grown in Florida.
The ricc-papcr tree, one of the most
interesting of the flora of China. has
recently been successfully cxpcri-
mcntrd with in Florida, where il now
llourishcS. With other sub-tropicai and
oriental species of trees and shrubs,
says tho So. Louis Republic. When
first tranSPlautCd in American soil the
eHpcrimCntcrS expressed doubts Of it's
hardness, fearing that it would be un.
able 90 stand Che winters. All these
fears have vanished, however, and l. 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 small tree growing to a height
o5 less than fifteen feet, with trunk
or stem from three to five inches in
diameter. Its canes, which vary in color
according to season, are large, soft and
downy. the form somewhat resembling
chat noticed in those of the castor-bean
plant. The celebrated rice paper. the
product of this queer tree, is formed of
thin slices of the pith, which is taken
from the body of the tree in beautiful
cylinders several inches in length.
The Chinese worlimcn apply the blade
OF "a sharp, straight knife TO these cvlin-
dcrs and, turning them round either bv
rude machinery or by hand, dexter
ously pare the pith from circumference
to center. This operation makes u roll
of cXtra-quality paper, the scroll being
of equal thickness throughout. Aftcra
cylinder has thus been pared it is UNI
rolled and weights arc 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 primitive
modes will be done away with.

another revised revision will come to the
deputies from the bishops Just where
the prospective conditions will land the
two houses neither bishops nor deputies
seem to know.
The one thing apparent is that neither
house can get through the volume in the
two weeks of life that remains for the
convention, and there seems to be no
other alternative than after the wasting
of much valuable time the postponement
of the issue to the convention OF 1898.
This probably will be held in Louisville.
Just as soon as the convention had
approved the creation of new dioceses
in California. Maryland and Kentucky
and the magnificent copy of the revised
prayer book approved at the last con-
Vention had been presented, the delegates
took up the constitutional pamphlet,
which was thoroughly discussed. An
other effort was then made to induce the
convention to adjourn to the Lyceum
and listen to the address of Ex-Secretary
Foster. As the deputies were dispensing
resolution of greeting from the Meth

CRACK TRAP SHOOTING.
Annual Tournament of the California
State Sportsmen's Asso-
citation.

The annual tournament of the Califor-
MIA State Sportsmen's Association opened
yesterday at the Oakland racetrack, and
will continue for three days.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired and the attendance larger than usual
on such occasions. Great care was taken
in selecting the birds, and, as the day wore
away, it was evident that good Judgment
had dictated the choice, for a hvelier lot of
pigeons were never trapped than those
which sharpened the zest of the sportsmen.
The three live-bird matches set down on
the programme for the opening day were
shot off, the result showing some excep-
tional scores. For the first of these con-
tests there were nineteen entries.
The initial match was won by "Slade, -
who killed ten straight birds, using his
second barrel on all but two.
The second match called for fifteen birds,
with an entrance fee of $40, for which
eighteen contestants entered. McMurchy
captured first money in this shoot by kill
ing 10 straight birds, leaving Haas and
Fuedner to divide second on fourteen birds
each. The others withdrew.
In the third stake twelve birds COM
pleted the string. There were twelve en-
tries and two clean scores-Smith and
Robinson, who divided first money. Nc
Murchy, Fay and Richards got eleven
birds each and Chick came in for third
with ten birds to his credit McMurchy
was champion of the day as perusal OF
the scores will show. For the entire day
he missed only two birds, killing thirty
five out of possible thirty-seven.
Robinson and Smith also did exceptional
work. After the live-bird matches, the
members amused themselves by breaking
clay pigeons, until darkness put an end to
the sport.
The programme for to-day is as follows
Live birds-10 birds, entrance So; 20 birds
Gay medaD, entrance So.
Bluerocks 10 singles, entrance ST. SO; 6
pairs, entrance 81 so; Is singles, entrance
81 so; 20 singles, entrance So 90.

the full scores were as follows:

1t Is Frequently Necessary in Case OF
Elephants.

1t Is Frequently Necessary in Case of
Elephants.
To the general public the elephant-house
in the Central Park Menagerie was closed
house yesterday. The fact was the ele-
plants, or at least two of them, were to be
oiled down. This is necessary from the
fact that the Gagged elephant cannot from
day to day throw great sprays of water
over his thick hide and SO keep it from
cracking, as he would do if in his native
forest, and yesterday it was determined to
anoint these great pachyderms with meats
foot oil.
Small Tom was the first to be expert
| mented on, and obeyed orders to turn to
| this side or the other more meekly than a
| fractions babe. He was anointed fore and
| aft, only trumpeting when his legs were
| being attended to. The reporter was in
the pen, and helped to hold up the legs of
| the animal while BILLY" Snyder rubbed
in the oil, and it was wonderful ilustra-
ton of mans power over the lower brutes.
| Tom or his bedroom partner, Jonas, could
| in a moment have killed the two men in
| the pen, but, as each was being operated
on, except for twining the proboscis round
the nearest leg, in sort of grateful kiss,
| these great beasts seemed thoroughly to
understand that man, who had made him
captive, was trying to do his best to
ameliorate his condition. When all was
over the elephants stood up glossy and
black, and if ever one elephant spoke to
another in scornful tones, it could be
