Chinese Tree Is Now Success-
fully Grown in Florida.
The rice-paper tree, one of the
most interesting of the flora of
China, has recently been success-
fully experimented with in Florida,
where it now flourishes with other
sub-tropical and oriental species of
trees and shrubs. When first trans-
planted In American soil the
expressed doubts of its
fearing that it would be
unable to stand the winters. All
these fears have vanished, however,
and it is now the universal opinion
that It is as well adapted to the
mate of this country as to that of
the famed Flowery kingdom.
It is a small tree, growing to a
height of less than fifteen feet, with
a trunk or stem from three to five
inches in diameter. Its canes, which
vary in color according to season,
are large, soft and downy, the form
somewhat resembling that noticed
In those of the bean plant.
The celebrated rice paper, the prod-
of this queer tree, is formed of
thin slices of the pith, which is taken
from the body of the tree in
cylinders several inches in length.
Tho Chinese workmen apply the
of a sharp, straight to
these cylinders, and, turning them
round either by rude machinery or
by hand, dexterously pare tho pith
from circumference to center. This
operation makes a roll of extra
paper, the scroll being of equal
thickness throughout. After a
has thus pared it is
rolled and weights are placed upon
it until the surface is rendered
smooth throughout its entire
length.

rice paper making becomes an Indus-
try in the United States these prim-
modes will all be done away

OLD WHALING DAYS.

Most of New Bedford's Great Wealth

fish oil, and the long rows of fine old
colonial mansions down tho shaded
streets still furnish evidence of
profitable voyages. The
whale money that was laid away
still furnishes large incomes to the
heirs of hardy old sea dogs and the
descendants of those who provided
their outfits and shared the results
of their perilous cruises in the Arctic
seas.

Many old whalers have been turned
into sealers and now sail from San
Francisco and Portland instead of
New Bedford. Now there are only
thirty-five ships from this port en-
gaged in trade, and less than
nine hundred men. With the com-
petition of petroleum, oil is worth

conformation of the eye docs this

The power of judging of actual
danger and the free and easy bold-
that results from it are by no
means uncommon. Many birds seem
to have a correct notion of a gun's
range, and are scrupulously careful
to keep beyond it. The most
resource would be to fly right
away out of sight and hearing, but
this they do not choose to do.
A naturalist of Brazil gives an ac-
count of expedition that he made
to one of the Islands of the Amazon
to shoot spoonbills, ibises and other
magnificent birds which are
there. His design was com-
baffled, however, by a
wretched little sandpiper, which
preceded him, continually uttering
his tell-tale cry, which at
aroused all the birds within hearing.

Tom, tho twelve-year-old son of
Tom Dickinson, of Ind.,
saved a score of lives tho other

tracked at that city waiting for a

sight the switch was left open.

the handle, and, when the engine

During 1803 the railroads
of the United States carried
passengers an average
of about miles each, or
passenger miles. A
traveling constantly would ac-
about miles per
year, and traveling constant-
would be equivalent to the pas-1
mileage for 1803, during
which year passengers were
killed. This is equivalent to an
average annual death rate of be-
tween and per thousand among
passengers. The annual death rate
for the population at large is three ,
or four times as great. other
words the probability of death is
several times greater oil than on a
train.
It is curious to note that while,

dropping from and cents
per ton per mile in earlier years, to
less than a cent per Ion per mile at
present, passenger fares show little
depreciation. The average fare on
roads in 1848 was 2.85 cents per
mile; on all roads now the average
is about 2.2 cents per mile. But in-
creasing luxury of equipment has
perhaps atoned for this maintenance
of old time rates.

WASHINGTON LETTER,
Our Regular
Washington, D- 1895.
Cleveland has not
fully decided to send a special
message to Congress the
necessity for financial legislation
at this season, but he has had
the subject consideration
and will gladly send in a special
in. if he it will aid
the cause of currency reform.
As there are a considerable
of Democratic members of
the House who have not yet re-
turned to Washington, it is prob-
able that tho decision as to the
proposed Democratic caucus on
the currency reform bill
will go over to next week, general
debate on tho bill
meanwhile in the House.
Tie idea of the Democratic
loaders in tho House is to try to
meet all reasonable objections to
tho bill by amendments
then to put bill through
the House by a majority so large
that tho Senate will be compelled
by public opinion to act upon the
measure. They wish to get the
fullest possible attendance at the
caucus mid to have every
to the bill frankly stated.
There is no desire to any-
body, to ask anyone to vote
for the bill who cannot be con-
that it is at least a step
towards relief.
Notwithstanding all wild
talk about Democratic opposition
to the bill, your
unhesitatingly
that when the bill is put upon its
final passage in the House there
will not Democratic votes
against it. But the bill
may considerably changed by
amendment before it is voted up-
on. Whatever is with it, it
should in the be passed
if it did not deserve to be on its
as t vote of confidence
by a Democratic Congress in a
Democratic
Treasury officials now
await tho appropriation to start
the for the collection
of the income tax, and there is no
of the of
the bill containing that
by the has
passed house-but it
ill be delayed by some
can speeches against
the tax.
In the year just closed 1,920
miles of now railroad track have

surprising to find that
leads with miles.

A special from Washington
says friends of Mr.
R. Henry, of Henderson, N.
C-, feel encouraged to hope that
before long his name will be
found among the nominations by
the President. They have work-
ed hard to laud him in the for-
service, and it is said the
State Department officials have
been hunting for something that
is worth tendering If hard
work and faithful service to the
party are any recommendation,
no man in the State is more de-
serving of recognition than Mr-
Henry. For several campaigns
he has been in the forefront of
the battle, and it is no credit to
the administration that
have been so long neglected-

Some boys out in Dam
set out to have some fun, a few
nights ago, and concluded that
nothing would add more the
occasion than fried chicken and
baked turkey. Following up this
idea some neighboring poultry
roosts were visited. The first
haul brought forth the chicken
without much trouble but turkeys
were not so easily captured- One
was grabbed at but tho grabber
had nothing to show for his skill
but a hand-full of tail feathers,
and when a pass was made at a
second turkey it met with
the same success. So the boys
had to content themselves with
chicken Next morning the
fun came on the other side. The
owners of the bob-tailed turkeys
and tho fried chicken got together
and traced up th cause of
their loss. They soon found
their game made the boys put
up the cash at the rate of cents
per tail.

had evidently been imbibing freely

and carried himself with tho air of s

clerk, braced himself on his cane,
and glared fiercely at the sleeper.

The crash was awful. It shook
the floor and made tho movable

the clerk so that he jumped
up in the air, landing squarely on
his feet before his eyes were open.
The watchman rushed In from
the piazza in alarm, and several
guests who had just returned from
the club houses stopped In tho door-
way aghast.

wreck. Ho seemed completely
