A Delightful Pastinc Which Plays tn,
 Deuce with thu. Gas Hill.

And who is there so cold-blooded and cal culating would rise from communion with . treasured book for the purpose of putting out cheap and worldly illuminatori asks Eugene Field in the Chicago News. ThdAc are some, we know, who shrewdly avail themselves of an ingenious patented arrangement which IS attached to 8 gas jet; 1t has appended thereto two slender chalns, one of which turns up and the other of which turns down the gas. If the reader docs not get too far gone in his delightful avocai1on, 'tis easy enough to reach one hand feebly up and pull at the chain which abates the light. Still, the confirmed, the simon-pure, the glorious bed-reader, nevec extinguishes his light; 'twould strike hin as kind of proclamation to turn from a feast with Horace or with Dome to the vul- gar and debasing occupation of putting out gas or blowing down a lamp chimney or of pulling at candle. He lets the light blaze away, God bless himl and presently his wife patters ill fom yonder chamber deter mined this time that she will wake him upand give him Q round scolding for his heartless extravagance; but when the dear lady sees hlm slumbering so peacefully, his precious book just beyond his fingers, his face illumined by the smile that ac- crues from saiutly dreams-she relents, she extinguishes the blazing light herself, oAo SOhoSiouS oA uOuS ncT HS wife and as an economist she patters back again to that yonder chamber. There Is no doubt or trouble about this, every wife will do it seven times week, provid- ing she has been caught young, well broken and discreetly trained.
 To become Q true lecto-bibliophile one must rid his mind of all such paltry and worldly considerations as seem to consti tute MT. w.

Sacred Nuts of Japan.

They are called sacred from the fact that hey are used in certain forms of Japanese worship. The nuts are placed on the altar and ignited. Tsey burn with bluish flame and give oil peculiar odor. They are rich in oil, and the fumes are supposed to rise as incense to the gods. They grow under water, have leaf like pond lily, and are shaped like a steers head, with two projecting horns. This resemblance is 9 great that it is difficult to believe that they are not carved. In the raw state they are hard and tasteless, but when cooked they have the flavor of boiled chestnuts. They retain their qualities ten or fifteen years, and arc fit for food when even twenty years old.

How to Light g Cigar.

To give some people good cigars is but casting pearls before swine. They don't know how to light them. The best 'sHa- vana" that is Imported" from New York will yield but a vile, unsatisfactory smoke if lighted SO as to not burn in clear ring all around and evenly. The outside, or wrapper, is of the best tobacco; the next, the ''binder," is of a poorer grade, while the bulk of the cigar, the ''filler," is the poor est. They are assorted with the intent that they be burned together. When this is done the result is 8 delicate and gratifying smoke. Light even poor cigar thorough ly, keep the cinder moderately close, so it will not break of right at the fire, aud on my word as connoisseur you will en- ioY it.
