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 aud Turkey is made from only
perfectly nov trimmings OF linen and
mostly comes from English and French
mills in Constantlnople, Fumen and
Franco. The celebrated Chinese rice
paper is made from thin slices Of the
pith from the canes Of a tree about nvo
feet high. A sharp knife pares tho
pith into cylinders OF uniform thick
ness. which are han unrolled and
pressed out into so called rice paper.

result in the loss Of his job.
1t was Bobby who had saved the
day when Mabel Kecler had been ac-

Porto Rico.

The Presidents declaration In favor OF
citizenship for the Porto Ricans and his
promise to exert his influence to secure 1t
could but arouse the liveliest appreciation
of his hearers yesterday. All Of them i'm
patiently await 1t. But they should not,
as they are likely to do, jump to the conclu-
sion that the Presidents approval makes
the matter a certainty. 1t Is question
connected with and having bearing on
other questions growing out of the war with
Spain and will not be decided as a single
proposition. The Porto Ricans deserve only
praise for the way they have carried them
selves under the American flag, and their
island is a rich and certain to become a
profitable possession. They are entitled to
all good things in the way of government.
