MAKING RICE PAPER.

From the Detroit Tribune.
The so-called rice paper is not made
from rice. as its name implies, but from
the snow white pith of a small tree be-
longing TO the genus Aralia, a genus
represented in this country by the COM
mon sarsaparilla and the spikenard. The
tree grows in Formosa, and so 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 number of other purposes. by the ma
tive artists for water color drawings, and
sometimes II Is dyed in various colors
and made into artificial flowers
The tools OF the pith worker comprise
a smooth stone about foot square and
large knife or Ratchet with short
wooden handle. The blade is about a
foot long, two inches broad, and nearly
half an inch thick at the back, and il is
as sharp as a razor.
Placing a piece OF the cylindrical pith
on the stone, and his left hand on the
top, the pith worker will roll the pith
backward and forward for a moment I'M
til he gets IT in the required position.
Then seizing the knife with his right
hand. he will hold the edge OF the blade,
after feiut or two. close 70 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 ap-
plication Of the knife. been pared into a
square white sheet Of uniform thickness.
All that remains to be done is TO square
the edges.

KILL THE UMPIRE. "

From Harper's Weekly
According to bleacher law. there are
three particularly justihable motives for
doing away with umpires An umpire
may be killed. first II he sees lit TO adj
here 10 the rules and make a decision
against the home team at close point
In the game.
Secondly, an umpire may be killed II
he send a member Of the home team 20
the bench when the player In question
has done nothing, absolutely nothing, but
call the umpire names and attempt to
bite his ear off-an umpire has no bust
ness to be touchy.
Thirdly land this is a perfect defense
against the charge OF murder. an umpire
may be killed if he calls any batter on
the home team out on strikes when the
player has not even struck at the balls
pitched That the balls go straight over
the plate has nothing TO do with the case.
There Is ample proof at hand to show
that killing the umpire IS distinctively
American sport Other countries have
tried baseball, but they have not tESed
killing the umpire.
Ihat Is pfODADly the reason why they
have not waxed enthusiastic over base
ball. For baseball without umpire-killing
is like football without girls in the grand
stand. 1t simply cannot be done
That foreign countries know nothing
about our king of outdoor sports was
indicated forcibly when, in the fail of
1909, the Detroit team made a trip to
Cuba under the management Of Outfielder
Mcintyre. In the entire series Of twelve
games with the Havana and Almendares
mines not ono single objection was made
by either the Cuban players or the silent
Cuban spectators to a decision of the
umpires.
The Americans did not know what to
think of it-until they counted up the
gate receipts at the end OF the series.
Then they realized that in their own
country 1t is the delight of killing the
umpire rather than the pleasure in
watching the game that draws the ire
mendous crowds through the turnstiles.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
John Brown Begins Celebrated Raid-October Is

II was on the morning OF October II,
1889. that the country. from one end TO
the other. was startled with the news
that the United States arsenal at Har-
pers Ferry. Va. had been seized the
night before by a band OF radical abol-
itionists and eolored men, and that the
slaves OF Virginia were rising against
their masters. This report, in the latter
case proved untrue. for among the col
ored men Brown was able to secure but
p very few recruits But he had seized
the arsenal on the 18th, and 1t was the
beginning Of his famous raid. which. for
a time. caused great excitement and
eventually led to the execution Of Brown
on December 2
John Brown was a dc scendant of one
OF the pilgrims who had come over in
the Aayflower in 1620. and when he be-
gan the trouble at Harpers Ferry he was
nearly sixty years old He had lived in

age became a pronounced and radical
abolitionist He was married twice and
had twenty children. all OF whom shared
with their father this fanatical idea re-
garding slavery.
His sons had gone 10 Ossawatomie.

among the busiest seekers. In 1S6 they
were charged with having murdered a
number OF their opponents in that State.
Leaving Kansas Brown collected as
much money as he could from aboli-
tionists there and in the North and start

small town as the most available place
TO start his instruction. He established
headquarters on farm in Washington

among the colored people, arming them
