Iccentriclty In Literary Taste.


Curious whims are occasionally shown
by readers at the Public library. There
was a wonan who regularly every Fri
day came for Il volume of sermons. She
the subject, so long as they were reli-
gious discourses of some sort. Monday
she would come back. return the ser
mons and take out a novel to unbend
her mind until the next Friday, when
the sermons would again be in demand.
There was another woman who would
never read anything but a religious
novel, as she called it, not such a one
as "Ben-Hur' or one with a particular
religious tenet to inculcate, but a book
with clergyman as its chief character.
Swinburnt's Heavenly Arcana'
was read daily for years by an eccen-
trio old gentleman. He would draw
the book, keep it two weeks, return it
with his place marked and call early
the next morning to take it out again.
He never took any other book from the
library, and finally died, leaving his
place marked as usual. There is one
old man who will never read a book
written by "A woman He reads good
books continually, but will have moth,

Soluble White Dextrin.

A writer in The Wollen-Gewerbe
states that ali entirely white dextrin,
perfectly soluble in water. is now pre-
pared by diluting 4 pounds and g..
ounces nitric acid of IA specific gravity
with 317 quarts water. into which z, 2O5
pounds of starch are stirred. This mass
is formed into cakes, which are at first
dried in the air and afterward at 176
degrees F.. and the cakes are then
ground and the powder sifted. and heat
ed from 212 degrees to 23O degrees F.
for l or IA hours. In external ap-
pearance, this preparation cannot be
distinguished from starch -four and is
perfectly free from nitric acid. In the
preparation of dextrin in the wet way
with diluted acid. it is remarked that
the time at which the last of the starch
has been converted into dextrin must
be carefully noted, rs the continued in
fiuence of the acid causes the dextrin
TO become rapidly %saccharose.
