Alcoholic Drink from Rice

The alcoholic drink used in the
province of Che-Kiang, in China, is
made from fermented rice. Fermen-
tation is induced by the addition of
cakes made of wheat meal. An ex-
animation of these cakes by X. Saito
shows that the particles of wheat are
penetrated through and through by
the mycelia of various fungi. Some
seven or more different species were
found. These fungi grow on the moist
ened rice. fermentation follows and a
yellow liquid with an agreeable odor
is produced.

Made Good Guide at. NIGHT.

Jason Hoover, a farmer of Western
Wisconsin, ventured out one very
dark night to visit a sick neighbor.
His wife followed. The man kept up
an incessant conversation, not for an
tertainment. but that his helpmeet
might be guided by his sonorous voice
along the treacherous and uncertain
path.
Suddenly Farmer Hoover shouted a
warning, stumbled and fell heavily.
After some grum bling and much as
sistance from his sympathetic wife, he
continued the journey, limping pain
fully, and rubbing his bruised thigh
Jason, you may stop talking" sug-
gested his wife, considerably; cit is
easy to follow you now"
Mr.. Hover became inquisitive, and
was astonished to learn that in rub
bing his thigh he had caused the phos-
phorus to glow, which for long time
had been accumulating on his trou-
sers from the many matches struck

A River That BRIDGES Itself.

For a stretch of twenty-five miles
the River Colorado in Texas, has
bridged itself with logs of wood,
which have jammed so tightly from
one bank to the other that even dyna-
mite is powerless to clear a way 1t
was at first only slight jam of logs,
which three or four men could have
dealt with effectively; but it has
grown at an enormous rate, and, in
some places, has become solid ground,
with vegetation and trees growing
upon it, Roads have been cut
through, over which teams cross from
bank to bank as unconcernedly as
though a great river was not rolling
swiftly underneath. The monster raft
has become an object of interest TO
tourists. but the authorities are TAX
ing steps. to break up the bridge as
soon as possible.-MontreaI Herald.

Lighter coIors the Mode.

For several seasons past Dame Fash
ion has been inclining toward the fair
tones. She has worn the pale ecru
and the coffee tints; and she has put
on mode and biscuit, lilac and cream,
with fawn and pale red thrown in to
afford relief when she became tired
of the others.
The fashionable woman of autumn
can wear light blue; she can put on
delicate grass green; she can dress
herself in the color of the spring
roses and she can wear the faint tones
of heliotrope and gray. All of the
pale tints are open to her selection
and all have the distinction of being
in the mode.
The lighter tones are really more
becoming to women than the darker
ones. There are few women who do
not look well in cream color. Fewer
indeed those who cannot wear white.
And white cloth will be worn quite a
little this fall. if not for shopping and
pedestrianism, at least for reception
and calling.

stiffened Foundation skirts.

The coming vogue of overskirt ef-
fects will demand some considerable
stiffening to be used in the foundation
skirt, for the natural swing of the hip
will give the top part of the skirt an
outward tendency, while the flounces
that are destined to fashion the lower
part of the skirt will require artificial
aid if they are to conform to the die
tates of Dame Fashion and continue
to display the same outward line. In
