HOW RICE PAPER is MADE
Pulp Of Aralia Tree is Used and Not
Rice as Is Popularity
Supposed.

The so-called rice, paper Is not made
from rice, as it's name implies, but
from the snow white pith of a small
tree belonging to the genus Aralia. a
genus represented in this country by
the common sarsaparilla and the
spikenard. The tree grows in Formo.
sa. and, so far as Is known. nowhere
else.
The stems are transported to China
and there the rice paper is made. II

purposes, by the native artists for

It is dyed in various colors and made
into artificial flowers.
The tools of the pith worker COM
prise smooth stone about a foot
square and a large knife or hatchet
with short wooden handle. The
blade is about foot long, two inches

LETTERS TO
HIS WIFE

Lampower was a great believer In
individual rights and 30 far as read
Ing his wife's correspondence was con-
cerned he would have been as likely to
listen at keyholes or steal candy from
babies.
Still, his wife being away from
home. he wanted list Of books they
had made out together, SO he rum
mayed in her desk to find It. When he,
unfolded the paper he took to be the
list he found 1t closely written over
In queer, jerky style, and 1t began:
MY Darling!" Now, in the first place,
1t was not bampowers writing. In the
second place, what right had any 9TH
er man to call Louise his dar-
ling? Or she to let him? Lam
power, with frowning brows and
compressed lips, unbelievingly and
grimly read through the amazing epis-
tie. For 1t was amazing! Lampower
had written few love letters himself
In the course Of tempestuous youth
ful existence, but he never remem-
bered bursting into anything like this.
1t took his breath away.
THE idiot!" he said out loud as he
finished.
He found he was clutching the pa
per In both hands as though to tear
It. so he smoothed iSout carefully and
refolded 1t. Then he found It had
been merely the top letter on pile Of
similar ones. They had lain in the
far recess of the pigeonhole. Feeling
that he might as well know the worst,
he drew out all the letters and went
through them. They were all in the
same writing, but the form of address
varied. Sometimes they began Sweet
heart" or my own" and once 1t was
just Dear Onei"

The Montgomery tribune., 1910-11-25

Lampower gave vent to groan that
was mostly growl. 1t made him sick
to think of Louise losing her head
over some long-haired chap with POI
etic tendencies. He knew the fellow
who could write such rubbish must
be the sort that normal man would
like to kick And Louise had liked
that sort of thing That was evident
from the pile of letters, which, by the
way, were denuded of their envelopes.
Clever of her! For a pile of fold.
ed sheets of paper would not look sus.
picious. Then, naturally, she did not
expect Lampower to prowl through
her desk.
They were rhapsodic bursts, almost
impersonal in their rawlings. Only oc4
casionally was the beauty of Louise's
eyes or hair mentioned. Mostly the
letters were dizzy soarings In a sea
of fiubdub that made a man feel az
though he had been eating too many
marshmallows and had powdered sug-
ar scattered over his face clear up to
his ears. And these unspeakably nau,
seating effusions had been sent to
his Louise?
What got Lampower the hardest was
the discovery that she cared for such
stuff. He had always been proud of
her common sense. When he had
written to her before they were mar
ried he had always been careful to
prune his effusions and to be chary of
unloading too much alteration on pa
per for fear Of her disliking 1t. And
now-she was cherishing these!
That was the most of his dismay.
Lampower had fair amount of con-
ceit, so not for a minute did he worry
about Louise's being in love with the
jellyfish who had written these letters.
OF course, 1t hurt him to find that
he did not fill her life as completely an
he had thought. and she had forgotten
her dignity sufficiently to be fascin-
ated by these maunderings of an Inn
beetle.
His illusions went crashing all about
his ears as he sat mechanically piling
the letters up and then spreading them
out at random. Each time his eyes
caught phrase or sentence he almost
snorted. And yet, as he told himself,
one does not snort with broken
heart, and assuredly his heart was
rot broken!
Then, just as white-hot needles OF
anguish began to scar him and the
blood began TO rush to his face. he
heard Louise come in. He got to his
feet with the letters in his hand and
stood before her. That she looked
particularly carefree and pink and
blooming was an added insult.

Moss Point, Miss, Nov, 20. = The
