Examples Of Fed Tapism.

There is story of man in the
British foreign Office who one day
seized q heavy poker ard with man
iacal frenzy attacked his chair until
he had knocked off one of it's legs.
Then he went on with his work in
another chair, happy. The explanation
Of his conduct was that his first chair
lacked caster and the foreign office
will not replace caster-nothing less
than a leg. The other day a man
took his seat in dining car of a well
known railway. He tried to open
window, but the patent spring had
gone wrong. The waiter was called.
Sorry, sir, | have not been able -
open that window for weeks" he said.
But if you could happen to shove
your elbow through it when you are
having your lunch l could get the
whole thing put to right" The .rav.
eler took the hint.

RICE PAPER IN FLORIDA.
Queer Tree Successfully introduced
There From China.

Queer Tree Successfully introduced
There From China.
The rice paper tree, one of the most
interesting of the entire flora Of China,
has recently been successfully expert
mented with in Florida, where 1t now
fiourishes with other subtropical and
oriental species of trees and shrubs.
When first transplanted in American
soil the experimenters expressed
doubts of its hardness, fearing that
it would be unable to stand the win
tiers. All these fears have vanished,
however, and it is now the universal
opinion that it is as well adapted 20
the climate of this country as to that
of the Flowery Kingdom.
1t is a small tree, growing to
height of less than fifteen feet, and
with trunk or stem from three to
five inches in diameter.
The celebrated rice paper, the prod
uct 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 workmen apply the
blade of a sharp, straight knife to
these cylinders, and. turning them
around, either by rude machinery CT
by hand, dexterously pare the pith
from the circumference to center.
This operation makes a roll of paper,
the scroll being of equal thickness
throughout.
After a cylinder has been pared it is
unrolled, and weights are placed upon
it until the surface is rendered smooth
throughout it's entire length.-New
York Herald.

Advantahes of Sunshine.

The Importance of admitting sun
light into our dwellings can not be too
highly estimated. Every house should
be built IL possible, in way by which
sunlight, may force itself through dur
ing some portion of the day. A sun
bath is one of the most important fac
tors in producing a healthy condition
of the body. 1t is q misfortune that
a sun bath costs nothing, for If it did
it would be more highly priced.
There is no doubt that people who are
exposed to the sun and live out of
doors are much stronger and more
healthy than those who are COM
PEELED to labor in close rooms. In
deed, good health is quite as much
dependent on sunlight as on pure air.
How depressing are the dull, sunless
days! No matter how much fatigued
physically, few minutes in the fresh
air end bright sunshine, is better
tonic than people realize.

New Form of Entertainment.

At a luncheon a short time ago
new form of entertainment was pro-
vided by the guests themselves. The
hostess asked each one to come in
some way representing her fad; then
the guests were supplied with pencils
and cards and the one who guessed
the greatest number of hobbies sug-
gested received a prize. One girl,
who wished to show that she was
fond Of music, had fastened to her
dress a picture of crying kitten with
a bandaged head-mieu-sick.

souAws PROUD OF HUSBANDS.
Give Dance t. Roast of vllainies
Committed by Braves.

John Bradbury, who travelled in the
region lying west Of the Mississippi
civer early in the last century, has an
interesting description of a squaw
lance which he Witnessed. He says:
The dance was performed in circle,
tho dancers moving around with toma-
hawks in their hands. At intervals
they turned their faces, ali at once,
toward the middle of the circle and
orandished their weapons. After some
time one of them would step into the
ring and make an harangue, frequent
iy brandishing her weapon. l found
that the nature of all the speeches
was the same. which was to boast of
the actions Of their husbands. One
woman said that her husband had
travelled southeast to country in
habited by white people. which jour.
ney took him twenty days to perform.
He went to steal horses and when he
came to the white peoples houses he
found one where the men had gone
out. Here he killed two women and
stole from them a number OF horses. T"

Action and Relaxation.

The American girl is developing two
sides of her nature-two moods-one
Of action and one of relaxation. And,
of course, it goes without saying that
she dresses to suit the mood.
When she plays golf and tennis. it
is the short skirt and the comfortable
shirt waist that she wears, and it is
since she has become such an active
young person that she has taken to
wearing the short skirt, not only on
the golf links and the tennis court,
but shopping, travelling and for gener-
al utility wear, says the Chicago Her
aid.
So clever is the American girl of the
day that one would never recognize
her as the same girl as she appears
at different hours of the day. She has
learned the Importance of resting just
as she has realized the benefit derived
from outdoor exercise. She regards
being lazy as virtue-that is, just for
a certain length of time each day. Her
relaxing hour is part of her beauty
culture treatment, and it is then when
she is resting body and mind that she
is wearing the fascinating negligses
that the shops show the whole year
through.

BLOOM is SIGN OF DEATH.
Oriental Plants That Flower and

Oriental Plants That Flower and
Then Pass Away.
In some parts of China the natives
are in dread of the bloom of the
bamboo at which season all kinds
of dreadful disasters are predicted
and confidently looked for. Like some
other superstitions, this one has a
slight foundation. The fact is that
the bamboo only flowers once and
then dies, and as a rule the whole
lot of plants, often covering large
areas, bloom together
The reason OF this is that the indi-
viduals of a species are commonly
gregarious, and all are Of the same
age, having taken simultaneous pos
session of ground rendered vacant
perhaps by similar depopulation
A somewhat analogous case is pre-
scented by some of the Strobilanths
of tropical Asia. These plants live
about seven years, then all burst out
into a glorious mass of blue flowers
and then die away, leaving, ~ may
be, hundreds of acres of ground des-
titute of the luXuriant vegetation 1t
previously supported.

Rulnarian Embroidery.

The popular Bulgarian embroidery
originated in Constantinople. During
the Bulgarian atrocities" and the
Russo Turkish war many thousands of
Bulgarian women were torn from
their homes and made prisoners in the
harems of Constantinople. They were
clever cmbroiderers, but they knew
nothing of drawnwork until the Turk
fish women taught them. Then they
combined the two arts, 'siaking a
drawnwork foundation for sneir en-
broidery and thus obtaining much bet
