Linen Makes Rice Paner.

The rice plant contributes nothing to-
ward the manufacture Of rice cigarette
papers but the name. Rice paper as
bought by the cigarette merchants of
Egypt and Turkey is made from only
perfectly new trimmings of linen and
mostly comes from English and French
mills in Constantinople, Fumen and
France. The celebrated Chinese rice
paper is made from thin slices Of the
pith from the canes Of a tree about five
feet high. A sharp knife pares the
pith into cylinders Of uniform thick
ness, which are than unroled and
pressed out into so called rice paper.
By the way, Egyptian cigarettes con-
tain no Egyptian tobacco. for since
1890 the cultivation of the tobacco
plant has been prohibited. 1t is for
workmanship and the curing of the
leaf that the Cairenes are so Justly
celebrated, but the tobacco they i'm
port comes entirely from Turkey.

The Last Prize Fight,

Prize fighting, as distinguished from.
the glove contests Of today, has long
been banned by law, though it once
had aristocratic support. Fights took
place to finish in a roped ring TWEEN
ty-four feet square pitched on turf in
the open. The men stripped to the
waist, using bare knuckles, and wres-
Ting was allowed. The last fight for
the championship of the world under
these London prize ring rules was
when John L. Sullivan beat Jake Kill
rain in seventy-ive rounds July s.
1889, outside New Orleans, the stakes
being $4,000 side, side bet of 1000
side and the championship belt-Lon-

On the Slopes of Vesuvius.

Despite the danger to which they are
exposed from $4,000 to 100000 people
live upon the slopes of Vesuvius, be-
sides the 100000 inhabitants crowded
into Naples. The reason is that the
fertility of the soil is perennial, the
peril only occasional The volcanic
ejecta are rich in alumina, silica, mag
nesia, lime, potash and iron, which by
their decomposition go to make splen-
did land. Some Of the best vines in
Italy grow on the skirts Of Vesuyius
If the volcano were away not one-tenth
of the many cultivators could subsist
in the same area.
