Rice Paper.

Rice paper is not made from rice, but
is derived from the white pith of a tree
Of a genus represented in this country
by the spikenard and the common 'sar-
Saparilla.
The tree that furnishes the pith
wherefrom rice paper is made flour
ishes in Formosa, and, so far as is
known, nowhere else. The stems are
sent to China, where most Of the So
called rice paper is manufactured
Among the many uses to which 1T Is
put may be mentioned that Of the ma
tive artists, who employ it in water
color drawings and sometimes they dye
it In various colors for use in h man
ufacture Of artificial flowers.
The pith worker employs the simplest
Of tools-a smooth stone about a foot
square and a large knife or Ratchet
with a short wooden handle. The blade
of this knife is about a foot long, two
inches broad, nj nearly half an inch
thick at the back and it is a. keen Of
edge as a razor.
Placing a piece Of the cylindrical pith
on the stone and his left hand at the
top. the pith worker will roll h pith
backward and forward for a moment
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 CT two close to the pith,
which he will continue to roll to the
left with his left hand until nothing re-
mains to unroll, for the pith has, by
the application Of the knife, been pared
into a square white sheet Of uniform
thickness. All that now remains to be
don is to square the edges.
If will roll up a sheet Of paper.
lay it on a table, place the left hand on
top, and gently unroll it to the left
he will obtain a good idea Of how the
feat Is accomplished.

They Saved His l,ic,

Does it pay to stop your motor car
after an accident and go back to see
what has happened? Two young mo-
torists on the south side believe 1t
does.
With a green chauffeur these two
boys We're trying out a new model
touring car. They were sitting in the
back seat when the g%reenhorn at the
steering wheel gave it a twist and
came within an ace of hitting an old
mar at a crossing. The victim was
so shocked that he fell to the pave
ment, and a crowd gathered in an In
slant.
Looking back. the motorists decided
that things looked bad. but that they
had better so back and see whether
the old party was killed. Finding him
all right, but winded, they took him
for a nice ride around the parks. So
pleasant did they make it for him that
when they took him home to his vile
he introduced them as The two young
men who saved my life"
They are now thinking of applying
for Carnegie medals.

Alaska's Buried Wealth.

Darlington Weems gives in the
Worlds Work some sane facts about
the coal situation in 'Alaska-his in
formation based on a recent visit. Con-
corning the actual amount Of coal in
the region he says:
Only one-fifth of Alaska has ever
been surveyed geological. How much
coal the rest may contain no man can
guess. From many scattered points
whiting this area prospectors have re-
ported coal discoveries. Upon well es-
tablished data, the head of the geologi-
cal survey in Alaska states that the
minimum Of coal should be
placed at $1,000 900 tons, although the
actual tonnage Is likely to be many
times that amour There is good rea-
son to believe that the coal deposits of
h Arctic slope are more extensive
than all the other fields combined. COW
ering roughly 5000 square miles. OF
course, the large part Of this coal which
Is not easily accessible from the Pa.
cific coast Is practically non-existent
as far as export trade is concerned In

ROBERT BACON GIVEN
OVATION ON LEAVING
No American Ambassador Ever
Was Received as Well BY
People of France.

Paris. Special: Few, If any ambas-
sadors to France have been paid the
honors which came to Robert Bacon
in connection with his departure after
a most successful service as represent
tative of the United States. Govern
ment and private organizations OF
French people offered a series of din
ners and receptions to MIR. and Mrs.
Bacon. and at innumerable functions
was expressed the sincere regret Of the
French people that the ambassador
should have retired. The fact that Mr..
Bacon has been elected a Fellow or
Harvard university is greatly appreci-
ated here, and incidentally has led to
a renewed interest in Harvard uni
versity This is so, not only eau
OF Mr. Bacon's position there, but as
we'll because of the new official relations
between Harvard and the Sorbonne
growing out of the arrangement for
additional exchange of professors every
year between the two universities
A poor workman out of employment,
carrying an old violin, entered a shop
near Geneva recently and offered the
instrument for sale, stating that he and
his family were impoverished. A young
clerk. from a sense of pity, bought the
violin for 81, and after having it re-
paired, began to play upon It.
He was surprised at the melody.
When a musician, to whom he had
shown it, offered him $40, he became
suspicious and took the violin to an
expert, who declared it to be a Amati,
and that it was worth a large sum of
money. A few days later, Mr.. Ernest
Schilling, q well known American mu-
sician, who lives nea P~aderewski, Of
fered the clerk $4,000 for the violin. but
the negotiations have not yet been con-
cluded. The clerk, on his part, intends
to make q generous return to the work.
man from whom he bought the instru-
ment.
An attempt is to be made to revive
the former prosperity of the Palais
Royal quarter. This object has long
been before the municipal council, but
in order to avoid the great expense of
appropriation, it "a deemed wiser to
proceed by degrees, and accordingly the
surrounding houses were bought up as
they happened to be offered for sale.
Now, after 80 years, this operation
has been completed, and the work Of
regeneration will very shortly begin;
it comprises the demolition Of the rue
Radziwill, a quaint old street full OF
historical memories, and the enlarge
ment Of the two streets running on
each side of the famous garden n the
widening Of the approaches.
An extensive new building for the
Bank Of France will be constructed on
part Of the rue RadZiwill at the north
end of the garden, making a fine PEN
liant to the famous old palace Of Car
dinal Richelieu.

remember what other people have done
for you? Are YOU willing to stoop
down and consider the needs Of little

and loneliness of people who are grow

began in Bethlehem Is the image and
brightness Of the eternal love? Then
you cannot only observe Christian

QUESTION is
SERIOUS IN GERMANY
Strife to- Be as Strenuous as
Was Bismarck's Fight
Against Catholics.

Berlin. Specials: The Jesuit question
has sprung suddenly to the fore in
Germany and now has in the news
papers an Importance almost as great
as in the days of Bismarck's famous
and unsuccessful "Kulturkampf' or
struggle against the Roman Catholic
church.
One of the first acts of the new
BaVa"ian ministry, coming into power
In consequence OF the victory OF the
Clerical Center party in the Bavarian
elections, was the issuance OF a decree
modifying the severity of enforcement
or the long standing imperial legisla-
ton against the Jesuit order in Ger
many and in the resulting controversy
II was brought out that an "interpreta-
ton" of the imperial law, not at all
~unfavorable to the Jesuit order, had
been issued in Prussia.
AS it is the duty of the emperor n
his responsible representative, the i'm
perial chancellor, who is also as it hap
pens prime minister in Prussia, to
watch against ~infractions of imperial
laws, the opposition papers have made
much of Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollwe2's embarrassing u role n
there is no doubt hat the question,
which arose after the emperor's de-
parture for Corfu, formed a most i'm
portant part of the chancellor's DELHI

Easter visit in Corfu.

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That he Had a Stomach

Talking Of food, there is probably
no professional man subjected to a
greater. more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor OF q
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties CON
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate Of efficiency.
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and a disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food, which can'be readily as
simulated, and which furnishes true
brain n~ourishment.
"My personal experience in the use
of Grape-Nuts and Postum" writes
a Philadelphia editor, 80 exactly
agrees with your advertised claim as
to their merits that any further eX-
position in that direction would seem
to be superf1uous. They have bene-
fitted me so much, however, during
the five years that I have used them
that 1 do not feel justified in with
holding my testimony.

that they have benefited me as med

other food hat ever came on my
table.
MY experience is that the Grape

positive degree. How it does il I
cannot say but I know that after
