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. ft is altogether probable that if rice paper making becomes an Indus- try in the United States these prim- modes will all be done away Louis Republic. OLD WHALING DAYS. PROBLEMS IN ANIMAL Lire. Most of New Bedford's Great Wealth Comes from Bones and Blubber. Down at New Bedford the other day I was much interested in a lot of old whalers like that we had at the exposition, which are there tied up to the docks to decay. The whaling the source of great riches to that city until about or when the discovery of petroleum destroyed demand for i 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. New Bedford is said to be the wealthiest city of its size in the Unit- ed States, and most of its capital, which is estimated at came from blubber the bones of whales. The began as ear- as 1755, and reached its height In 1860, when there were nearly six hundred vessels going out from that port, with more than sailors and representing an investment of more than The catch that year was worth nearly for then oil sold for a gal- and whalebone for a pound. But now the whales the northern Atlantic arc almost and the only places it is worth while to hunt them are down around the antarctic circle and among the seal Islands of the North 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 only cents a gallon, and whale- has been largely replaced, as most of you know, by metallic that make the form diviner still. The most valuable catch over made by a was that of tho On- ward., Capt. which In New Bedford after a forty-one cruise with a worth over of which the captain's share was The total value of the whole product of the whale brought Into New Bedford during the fifty-two years for a rec- has been kept is more than The average ship carrying a crew of thirty hands, used to cost about Tho ships were owned by companies, which supplied pro- visions and clothing and all the necessities of the voyage and ad- certain sums of money for the captain to leave for the of their families while they were away. No wages were paid to either the officer- the. but es proceeds of the voyage, and the balance was divided among the stockholders when they returned. The and mates were hardy New Englanders, but the crews were mostly Portuguese from the Canary, Madeira and Islands.- Overheard In the Speckled learned something awful about Miss Rock to-day. Mrs. Leghorn For sake, what was it prides herself on her family connections, you know, and she hasn't any. She was hatched in an Y. World. Some of the Unaccountable Things Done by Birds and Beasts. Tho greyhound runs by sight only. This is a fact. The carrier pigeon flies his hundreds of miles home- ward by eyesight, noting from point to point objects he has marked. This is only conjecture. The dragon fly. with twelve thousand lenses in bis eye, darts from angle to angle with the rapidity of a flashing sword and as rapidly darts back, not turn- in the air, but with a clash re- versing the action of his four wings and instantaneously calculating the distance of objects, or he would dash himself to pieces. But in what conformation of the eye docs this power consist No one can answer. Ten thousand mosquitoes dance up and down in tho sun, with the minutest interval between them, yet no one knocks another headlong on the grass or breaks a wing, long and delicate as they are. a peculiar, high-shouldered, vicious creature, with long and pendant nose, darts out of the rising and falling cloud and, settling on your cheek, inserts a poisonous sting. What possessed the little wretch to do this Did he smell your blood while he was dancing No one knows. A carriage comes suddenly upon some geese in a narrow road and drives straight through the flock. A goose was never yet fairly run over, nor a duck. They are under the very wheels hoofs and yet they contrive to flap and waddle safely off. Habitually stupid, heavy and indolent, they are, nevertheless, equal to any emergency. Why does tho lonely woodpecker, when he descends from his tree and goes to drink, stop several times on his way and listen and look around before he takes his No one knows. How is it that the of an ant which is taken in bat- by other ants, to be made slaves, should be the black or ant No one knows. 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. Throughout the day did this bird Its self-imposed duty of sentinel to others, ally preventing the approach of the hunter to the game and yet to keep out of the range of his Times. Young Gladstone Played Pranks. Mr. Gladstone was a country house guest with Henry Chaplin. Mr. Gladstone one evening asked him whether his grandmother had not lived in a certain street in May- fair. Mr. Chaplin assented, said Mr. Gladstone, re- member It very well. I lived next door to her for awhile when I was a child. She used to give evening parties. When the carriages were assembled to up my brother and I used to creep out of was summer open the window, get out our squirts and dis- fire away at the coachmen on the boxes.

Tom Prevented Wreck. Tom, tho twelve-year-old son of Tom Dickinson, of Ind., saved a score of lives tho other night. A passenger train was side- tracked at that city waiting for a fast freight to pass. By some over- sight the switch was left open. Tom, who was playing near, hap to notice that It was open. Ho took In the situation, grabbed the handle, and, when the engine was less than fifty feet away, threw the switch. The next the freight rumbled past the passenger coaches. As the freight was going at a high rate of speed the wreck terrible. Highest of all in Leavening U. S. Report. Baking ABSOLUTELY PURE Say It on I h Train Than OS Tl Will Astonish n In keeping with these constant improvements the safety of travel is now almost absolute. Tho of personal safety is even greater for the passenger than for the average person who is not as may easily be demon- 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, freight have fallen 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. The railways in 1893 earned 220,751.874, and of this amount was expended for From the net proceeds an average interest of 4.25 per cent, was paid on the mortgage indebted- of and an aver- age dividend of 1.68 per cent, was paid on the capital stock of a revenue to stockholders by no means extravagant. It can be said for American railroads that their average capitalization, bonds and stock, of per mile is less than one-third the of English railways per mile, and considerably less than the average for tho world. Tho total capital invested in the railways. f the world at the beginning of 1803 was about 180.000 per TIMES ARE CHANGED.

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.

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.

The night clerk in one of Long Branch's largest hotels was dosing lightly at his desk at o'clock on a recent morning, when a man who had evidently been imbibing freely staggered through tho hail. Ho was stout; had gray hair, and carried himself with tho air of s rounder. He stopped at sight of the clerk, braced himself on his cane, and glared fiercely at the sleeper. For fully a minute he on his frail support, and then he top- over. The crash was awful. It shook the floor and made tho movable on the desk dance. It startled 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. The prostrate man looked a fear- wreck. Ho seemed completely as the watch- man put It. It seemed Impossible that that inert mass of flesh could ever move of its own volition again. Had the man fallen from the roof tho result would not have appeared worse. He remained motionless as the men gathered around him. exclaimed one of tho guests, poor fellow Is said the clerk, with on of great disgust, wish ho was. Confound him, ho Is bother than all the of tho the matter with asked the solicitous guest. drunk, as Tho clerk stooped and turned the man on his back. He was sleeping as innocently as a child. Without further ceremony tho clerk caught him by the shoulders, the watchman took his feet, and they carried him into the elevator. mind about putting him to said the clerk to the watch- man j lug him Into his room and leave him on the Then the elevator shot up. said tho clerk, the queerest case I ever struck.

Then he is likely to do anything. night last week ho came in and said he felt hot. said I, out and cool said he, and out he staggered. He went out on the lawn In front of the hotel, took off his coat and vest and lay down to sleep on the grass.

The use of the bicycle in military operations is gradually extending all over the world. In our own try, see tho militia, in some in- stances, using it, and abroad the governments are endeavoring to avail themselves of the of the wheel in many ways. In Holland young men skilled In the of the bicycle are Invited to join tho army, and given Increased pay and tho rank of a corporal. In these cases the attendance to the army Is reduced to tho mini- mum, so that tho enlisted men can pursue other occupations. In Spain and Bulgaria, there are certain advantageous terms offered to recruits of the character men- In Denmark recruits are always under tuition, and In France two men from each regiment are told off for such work.

One of tho French papers, which has been devoting a great deal of at- to Napoleon Bonaparte of late, has been entertaining its read- by having a census made of tho survivors of Napoleon's grand army- Four of these men only are now left. Tho eldest is Jean Jacques who was born on the 15th of April, at where be has Jived in retirement for many years. Then come Victor Jean and Joseph Rose, aged respectively one hundred and one years and one month, one years and one month and one hundred years and a days. it is said that all are as hearty and vigorous as can be expected, in spite of their experiences as long as eighty-two years ago in that retreat, when tho beggarly remnant of the greatest army, the world has ever seen, worn out with and hunger, angrily called to the victor of and One of the oddest characters that Chicago has known was a blithe low named Horn. They called him Horn. He boosted that he could not keep money; he declared that as he was ii horn he must needs himself. It was this joke that allured him from his trade, that of sign painting. After this lived on his wits. He was not known to he dishonest, but to tho man who lives by his wits there come but few con- science. Once he made n reputation In a new direction. One day he took oil a new overcoat and wrapped it about the shoulders of a thinly clad woman whom ho met in the street. His companions marveled at this, knowing that he had but little money, and in reply lo their expressions of surprise he father was a slave owner fore tho war, and an old black mammy brought me He always wore a flower on his coat, and when tho flower was a wilted his acquaintances knew that he was hungry.

His great fad was to in- everything, and in this re- he became strangely curious toward the lust. He had a mania for gazing into the eyes of a dying man, and often hung about the hos- He used to say that he In- tended to see himself die. Some of his friends said that he was losing his mind. Well, hard luck came, and he drifted away. He went south and then Into the far west. But ho found no place to interest him. In lie did all sorts of jobs, striving to got back to Chicago. Ho said that he had but a short while longer to live, that it would em- bin to die away from home. He back and stood the comers looking for his old friends, but found them not. No one knew him. you must have heard of he said to a man. am Pink heard of you, I was hero before the may be, but I never heard of you hear of the sport who took off his overcoat one bits- day and gave it to a black yes, I believe I did hear of that. So, you are the Wall, you again. So No one cared to talk to him. He strove to joke, but his merriment was ghastly. One night last week they took him up and carried him to the hos- And this Is the story they tell.

He said that he desired to be alone. When they back he was dead; his gaze was wide and his glassy eyes mirrored the mirror. Wanted to see himself die He was an odd Ocean.
