Etiquette.
 What is the betel nutof which the Malays are said to be so very fondP' It is white nut which looks almost like ivory Every Malay family without an exception has a box, divided into little compartments and with a drawer at the bottom containing a pair of shears. In one of the compartments of the box is some betel nut, cut fine with the shears, in another several sirih leaves, in the next some slaked lime made from coral shells, and in the last some fine tobacco At mid day, which is the dinner hour the family as senbles and squats in circle on mats, which do duty for chairs. In the center is bowl of rice and another of curry. Each one takes a handful of rice in turn, dips it in the curry, and conveys it to his mouth without spilling Q crumb To do this gracefully is the height of Malay table etiquette. After all have fin ished the hetel box makes its appearance and is handed round. Each person takes one of the sirih leaves, which are five inches long and arrow shaped and lays it out flat on tbs palm of the left hand Then he takes little betel nut, puts some of the lime upon it, adds a small quantity of tobacco, and then rolls the whole up together Then be places it in his mouth, holding it by his front teeth, never chewing it by his side teeth as Ameri- cans do tobacco. Then you may want to hire him, or to transact some business with him ever so badly, but he won't stir He will simply say: ''l have DO time for it, n.ls ter. am chewing the sirih."

The Importance of Cooks

Cooks have always been important mem bers of society, and Roman magnates were not ashamed 3o practice the culinary art Antony presented to the cook who arranged the Cleopatra banquet an entire city as his reward The unfortunate Frenchman, Vatel, is the antithesis to the lucky Egyptian, for he committed suicide because of the non-ar- rival of the Holsters for turbot sauce during a royal banquet Atheneus affirmed that cooks were the first kings of the earth. The medaval idea of Paradise is typifed in the accounts of the strange land Cocaigne, which lay beyond the occen-a heaven of enjoy ment, delight and idleness:
 There both bowers and halls,
 All of pasties be the walls,
 Of fesh and fish, and rich meat
 The like fullest that men may eat;
 Floweren cakes be the shingles all,
 Of chnrch, cloister. bower and hall
 The plus be fat puddingS
 Rich meat to prince and knight
 Birds ready roasted fly about, buttered larks are abundant and roasted geese go down the streets turning themselves on the spit" In these times first class cooks get .5, 600 and upward year.

Inevitable Agony.
From London Iron.

Of course, electricity can instantane-
ously kill a person, but in that infini-
tesimally small space Of time of the tran
sition from life to death the person will
suffer inconceivabe pain. Although
the speed of electricity is at the rate of
2S6,0O0 miles per second, the killing can
not be SO instantaneous as to preclude
all pain. Every particle of the nervous
tissue is polarized. Polarization causes
each particle of matter to revolve on it's
axis, which means the stretching of the
nerves out of all proportion, and conse-
quently the most intense pain.
But the great fault with execution by
electricity is that it is almost impossible
to ascertain just how strong current
will kill man instantaneously and vet
not be barbarous mode of killing. If
the current be but a few volts stronger
than that required to instantly execute
certain person the consequences
would be terrible. 1t would dishgure
the body beyond recognition, and
would oisintegrate every portion of the
corpse. Should the current be trihe
too weak to execute person, it would
throw him into a trance so deathlike
that it is probable that the body would
be buried alive

The incubators are rude one-story

long practice these men learn just how
hot the ovens ought to be kept, and
they replenish the fires as the weather
demands. A small amount of fuel is
needed, and the temperature of the
ovens is about that of 90 degrees above
zero. The fire is built up for eight or
ten days before the eggs are put in.
and after this time it does not 90 out
during the season, which is from March
until May. The eggs are turned four
times day while Matching. The
whole outfit of an establishment which

than $25, and one man runs the whole
machine, keeping the fires, buying and
turning the eggs and selling the chick

twelve apartments each twenty feet
long, sixty feet wide and sixteen feet
high. and each Of these compartments

Pay of an English Farm Hand.
From the Boston Herald.


What would the average "man help"
in our country towns think if he was re-
quired to work as many hours as the
hand on an English farm? Probably
he wouldn't condescend to think about
such a ridiculous subject. He would
simply no. work, that is all there would
be of it. But the average English labor
er is not SO independent, and some
Americans who have been rusticating in
the typical English cottage on big
farm forty miles from London this sum-
mer, have had their compassion great
ly excited in his behalf. "Old Joe"
walks two miles from the village every
morning. to be prompt at work by
o'clock. He never leaves off until 9
o'clock, and for the fifteen hours labor,
