Lonlsinc for a Wife.

Sakti Kumara, the hero of a curious Hindustani story, preferred testing a damsels capabiity before tying the knot. Master of prosperous and profit able business, he came to the conclusion that wife was wanted to complete his happiness, and determined to go in search of one. Adopting the guise of a fortune-teller, and carrying some rice bound up in his cloth, he started on his travels. Whenever he encountered a girl that pleased his eye he asked her to cook his rice for him. Some laughed at him, some reviled him. and none seemed inclined to comply with his modest de- mand. At last he met with q beautiful girl who, instead of ridiculing or abusing the strange traveller, relieved him of the rice and bade him be rested. Then the kindly maiden set about preparing the rice. First she steeped it in water, then dried it in the sun, and, that accomplish ed. rubbed the grains gently on the ground, removing the avn without break ing the rice. Calling her nurse she dis patched that worthy to sell the bran and with the proceeds to purchase an earthen boiler, two platters and some fuel. By the time this commission was executed the rice had been prayed in a mortar, winnowed and washed, and ready to put in the boiler with five times its bulk of water. As soon as it had swollen sufficiently the boiler was taken from the fire, the water cleared of the scum, the boiler put back, and the rice constantly stirred by the pretty cook until she was satisfied it was properly done. By turn ing the boiler mouth downward she ex- tinguished the fire, and collecting the unconsumed fuel, dispatched the old woman to convert it into butter, curds, oil and tamarinds. This achieved, she told the enraptured Sakti Kumara to go and bathe, and not to omit rubbing himself with oil Having obeyed orders, the wife seeker was directed to seat him. self upon a plank on the well-swept floor, on which were already laid large plan tain leaf and two platters. His charming hostess then brought him water in a per fumed jug, and administered two spoon- fuls of well-seasoned rice and ghee, pre- paratory to serving up the remainder of the rice, mixed with spices, curds, butter and milk, of which Sakti, ate his fill, and then indulged in a siesta. As soon as he awoke he asked the girl to become his wife, and, she being willing, the neces- sary ceremony was gone through with out delay, and the supposed furtune-teller took his bride home to astonish her as the Lord of Burleigh astonished his rus tic love- but the Hindu lass was luckier than Tennyson's heroine, for we are as- sured that she lived long to worship her husband as a god, and made her house the abode of bliss.

How to Train the Memory.

Your memory is bad, perhaps, but there are two ways of curing the worst memory. One of them is to read sub ject when interested; the other is to not only read but think When you have read paragraph or page stop, close the book, and try to remember the ideas on the page, and not only call them vaguely to mind but put them in words and speak them out. Faithfully follow these two rules and you have the golden keys of knowledge Besides inattentive reading there are other things injurious to the memory. One is the habit Of skimming over newspapers, items oi news, smart remarks, items of informa- ton, political reflections, fashion notes so that all is confused tumble, never to be thought of again, thus diligently cul. tivating a habit of careless reading hard to break, Anotheris the reading of trashy novels.

snow Bread. or Cake.
American Sentry.

First cool a large bowl-wood is the best. In this put the desired quantity of wheat flour or corn meal, and mix with it twice or three times it's bulk of snow. It then appears like dry meal. Put some of the mixture on a hot pan or griddle. If too dry to turn well, add more snow; if too wet to be light, add more meal; when just right, turn the mass into greased pan about two inches deep, rounding it from the edge. Bake in quick oven about twenty minutes.
 Note-It will settle about one-half in cooking, but the bread will be peculiarly light. hor corn bread use one-fourth part superiine flour with the meal. fla sweet cake is desired, add sugar to suit shorten superfne flour with corn meal Use no salt. It can be baked on a grid dle, also, if done quickly.
