Madagascar Letter in the Cincinnati
Tribune.
The queen is a Christian, but she
chews tobacco and expectorates in a
silver vase She is seldom without a
large chunk of tobacco in her mouth.
and as she sets the style in Madagas-
car all of the court ladies. not to be
outdone in the matter of fashion, also
have large chunks of tobacco IN their
mouths. At a royal function, where
all the ladies are chewing tobacco in
dustriously. an American lady might
be shocked. but the Madagascar ladies
regard II as a rare accomplishment.
and the society buds there are taught
TO chew with the same care that Amer
lean parents teach their girls to dance
or play upon the piano. 1t is one of
the polite arts. and a lady who does
not chew is as badly handicapped So
cially as a woman here who eats with
her knife.

PRICELESS OLD BOOKS.
Rare Publications Found on the Shelve

Rare Publications Found on the Shelve
of the Minneapolis Central Library.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
DIR. Hosmer of the Central library has
made ample preparation for all the dele
gates and visitors attending the big con-
vention who may feel the need of refer
ence to books-and especially does this
apply to Bibles-which are not commonly
on public sale. Aside from the library
collection of old and valuable Bibles and
religious reference books. DIR. John
Wright of st. Paul's church, st. Paul. has
very kindly allowed the use of his extern
sive collection of rare old Bibles. many of
which are hundreds of years old. The Ii
brary collection numbers IA Bibles and
testaments. printed in almost every
known language. and bibliophilists will be
well repaid with a visit to the library
Dr. wright's collection numbers 81 vol
umes and they represent a small fortune
in their value.
Among the old books are: The Wine
gar" Bible, published in Oxford in l7l7:
the famous edition of King James Bible,
printed in 1911, and the same as the YER
sion now in use; a Dutch version, cor
rected by the Luvain doctors and publish
ed as the authorized Bible OF Holland.
The rarity of the latter Bible is accounted
for by the destruction OF corresponding
copies during the reign of Philip III.
Among the other Bibles are a Vulgate
werp in MS; a Latin Vulgate OF the fif-
teenth century. ST. Jerome's Latin Bible.
interesting because of annotations on it's
pages in Melancthon's handwriting, pub
llshed in 1880; epistles of St Paul, with
Me. De Lyra's commentary, done by
hand in the fourteenth century: the
''Breeches" Bible, so called from some
peculiar version of the text: the Saur BIZ
BILE. printed by Philip Saur. and very rare
from the fact that ii was the first Eng
fish Bible printed in America-at German
town in 1716.
A very beautiful book is the History of
Syria" written In Syriac on vellum. An
other famous Bible is one which belonged
20 Robert Southey. the English poet. and
which contains his autograph. There is
another quaint-lOoking Bible. secured
originally from the convent OF la Mer-
ced. Mexico. II reposes in a curious wood
en- case. made out OF many different kinds
OF wood from Yucatan. Another beauti-
fol and valuable hook Is the decorated
edition OF the Book OF Common Prayer"

The most interesting development in
domestic life with which women have
to deal is cooking by electricity. Every
woman knows that the kitchen range is
the real hub OF the universe. So long az
that runs smoothly dynasties may
change and nations go under with COM
paratively little stir. A change OF fuel
is a more serious experiment than a
change of sect or party. TIE first
thing that commends electricity To a
woman Is its cleanliness. For this, gas
has prepared them somewhat. But even
with gas the products of combustion
still oblige the washing of the outside
of the platters. In cooking by electro
city there Is no combustion. The heat
is merely localized. This distinction Is
radical. and affords the most curious

and Interesting feature of the new pro-
cess. To cook without fame contra

getting rid of combustion goes with II
all that accompanies combustion. includ-
ing that exhaustion of the air. of which
everyone complains, for in the domestic
economy health is next to cleanliness.
