RICE PAPER.
Shaved From the Snow White Pith of
Trees In Formosa.

Shaved From the Snow White Pith of
Trees In Formosa.
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
s%pikehard. The tree grows in Formo-
sa and, 50 far as Is known, nowhere
else. The stems are transported to
China, and there the rice paper Is
made. 1t is used, aside from a num-
Der of other purposes, by the native
artists for water color drawings, and
sometimes 1t Is dyed in various colors
and made into artificial flowers.
The tools of the pith worker COM
prise a smooth stone, about a foot
square and a large knife or Ratchet
with q short wooden handle. The
blade is about a foot long, two inches
broad and nearly half an inch thick at
the back, and 1t Is as sharp as a razor.
Placing a piece of the cylindrical
pith ON the stone and his left hand on
LlC tUp, thG plth NOi Nhi " ShS
pith backward and forward for a mo-
ment until he gets 1t In the required
position. Then, Selling the knife with
his right hand. he will hold the edge
Of the blade after a feint or two close
to the pith, which he will keep rolling
to the left with his left hand until
nothing remains to unroll. for the pith
has, by the application Of the knife,
been pared into a square white sheet
Of uniform thickness. All that re-
mains to be done is to square the
edges.
If one will roll up a sheet Of paper,
lay 1t on a table,, place the left hand
on top and gently unroll it to the left
he will have a good idea of how the
feat is accomplished.-New York Her

THE DRAGONS BACKBONE.
An Ode Incident of Railroad Construo-
ton In China.

An Odo Incident of Railroad construo-
ton In China.
When there was undertaken the con-
.struction of the railway between Kirin
and Newchwang, the seaport of Man
churia, 1t was propesed~to make a
junction at a place called Lanpien, out
side the city of Mukden. For this per-
mission had to be obtained from the
Tartar general of Mukden. This func-
tionary at once proceeded to call in his
geomancers, a species of soothsayers,
who gave information concerning the
good fortune and Ill fortune of sites
and were supposed by the Chinese to
know what demons and dragons in
habited the earth under the surface.
These wise men reported that the
dragon whose body encircled the holy
city of Mukden lay coiled up in such a
way that If the railway came through
Lanpien the long nails driven into the
ties would pierce his backbone and in
all probability set him to raging VIC
lently, to the great detriment of the
people Of Mukden.
The general consequently refused the
application of the railway people and
directed them to carry the road in a
straight line from. Kirin to New
chwang, avoiding .Mukden. The en-
gineers thereupon appealed to the vice
roy, showing that, as this proposed
route would go through a marshy and
uninhabited country, it could not be
profitable for their enterprise.
The viceroy wrote to the general Of
Mukden, highly commencing him for
his discretioR in consulting the geo
mancers, but suggesting that these
sage persons go over the ground again
and see IL they could not find a place
where the nails would not be likely to
strike into the dragons back. Accord
ingly, at the command OF the viceroy,
the general had his geomancers indi-
cate a spot for the junction at Lanpfen
where they thought that, after all, the
dragons backbone would be Safe

A TARc0oLER FUNERAL.

Wood Was Scare, but They Managed
to Big Up a Coffin.
In some Of the mining districts OF
South Australia there Is q great scar
city Of wood. Consequently, IL you are
so foolish as to die there you must not
expect to have q coffin, but must be
content to be wrapped in a sack before
being deposited in Mother Earth.
However, when a certain very prom
inent resident of a mining camp died

suitable name-determined that he
should be buried in style. SO they set

Next morning the lid Of the coffin
was missing. 1t was afterward found
that it had been stolen to make the
tailboard of a butchers cart.
However. in spite of this trifing loss
the funeral was conducted with t
solemnity. The coffin was much r
mired. 1t had been made out of the
boxes in which the dynamite was sent
to the mines. Some people might have
considered that the %obsequies were
marred by the fact that the coffin bore

Internal Regions Of tho 5uddhists and

The Internal regions Of Buddhism
are horrible. They comprise a great
hell and 1873 lesser heils.. In these
hells, according to the sculptures of
the Buddhist temples, men are ground
to powder and their dust turned into
ants and feas and spiders. They are
pestled in a mortar. The hungry eat

molten iron.
Islamism says of the internal re-
gions: "They who believe not shall
have garments Of fire fitted for them.
Boiling water shall be poured on their
heads and on their skins, and they
shall be beaten with maces of iron"
