The Japanese excel in the making Of paper
from the bark of trees and shrubs. Among the
remarkable varieties, D. G.. FairchiId mentions
the thin rnin-proof paper used instead Of glass
for windows; the oiled papers serving for cover
ings and clothing and the oiled tissue for wrap
ping delicate articles. The bark paper employed
for meal and grain sacks Is not readily pene-
trated by Weevils and other insects. Most inter-
esting of all, perhaps. are the leather papers
from which tobacco pouches and pipe cases are
made, these papers being almost as tough as
French kid, translucent, and as soft and pliable
as calf-skin.

to say in regard to the charges made
by Mr. Mackey that the raid OF ST.

anyone chooses to criticise my official
acts they have the right, and 1 don't

that after all Mr.. Mackey's statements
that he was going to put the whole
St Asaph gang in Jail, he should all
of a sudden drop the cases against
them, as he did in the court in Alex
