How to Open IL New Book.

Hold the book with its back on a
smooth or covered table; let the front
board down, then the other, holding the
leaves in one hard while you open a
few leaves at the back, then few at
the front, and so go on, alternately
opening back and front, gently pressing
open the sections till you reach the
center of the volume. Do this two or
three times and you will obtain the
best results. Open the volume violently
or carelessly in any one place and you
will likely break the back and cause a
start in the leaves Never force the
back. If it does not yield to gentle
opening rely upon it the back is too
tightly or strongly lined.
A connoisseur many years ago, an
excellent customer of mine, who
thought he knew perfectly how to han
die books, came into my office when
had an expensive binding Just brought
from the bindery ready to be sent home.
He, before my eyes. took hold of the
volume, and tightly holding the leaves
in each hand, instead of allowing them
free play, violently opened it in the
center and exclaimed, "How beautifully
your bindings openI" almost tainted.
He had broken the back of the volume,
and it had to be rebound. Modern

Got the Wrong Woman.

A pastime which obtains among the
farm classes of Korea, known az the
"packing off of widows, consists of a
raid by some disconsUlate widower and
his friends on some village known to con
tain young widow, the forcible abduc
tion of the lady in question and her mar
riage to the widower. An instance of
this kind has recently come to our no.
tice. A widower living in one of the
villages of Kangwha with II friends
went to hamlet close to the walls of
Kangwha city where widow lived
and seized and carried off. after some
what of a battle, young lady. 1t so
happened, however, that they had mis-
taken the house and unfortunately got
hold of the wrong lady. Early the next
morning an indignant posse came in
pursuit, but the men who had commit
ted the dastardly deed succeeded in
eluding them. The young lady, how
ever, was rescued, and after the house
of the widower ard its contents had
been completely demolished she was
escorted home in triumph by her hus
band and his friends. Kobe Chronicle.

The people of Gangutia, in Bengal
have barbarous practice called hook
swinging. They deck themselves out
with garlands, and then assemble to-
gether to undergo the most horrible tor
ture. A wire about a quarter of an inch
in diameter and seven feet long is
pierced through the tongue, and then
the wretched being will dance for over
half an hour with the wire still hang
ing through the tongue.
Some of them form themselves into a
row and are then sewed together by a
wire needle threaded with cord. They
are sewed by the arms and look like
behring's on wire when ready for the
hook.
1t is thought that the victims are
drugged considerably beforehand, owing
to the sullen, dazed expression they
wear throughout, but sometimes one or
two faint and are with great difficulty
brought round again.

Fewer wives would sit lOnesomely at
home while their husbands roam else
where in search of entertainment if
more wives realized that home should
be something besides n clean place to
eat and sleep in. Men ''hate">wom-
ems tea parties and large show func-
tons. but they like dinner and supper
parties. Many families refrain from
entertaining because they cannot do
so on an expensive scale. 1t is, how
ever, possible to give small dinners and
suppers that are both enjoyable and
inexpensive. Ask people who either
do or will like each other. and if you
wish the women to have !; good time

Boiled Rice,

Thomas Murray, the noted chef, says
many cooks do not know how to do so
simple thing as to boil rice properly
Each grain of rice, he says, should be
distinct, whole. but at the same time
tender. To accomplish this, a small
quantity of rice should be boiled in a
large pot nearly filled with water. Put
it into cold water and "A little salt and
hoil rapidly for 20 or 80 minutes. Test
the grains occasionally. and when a
slight pressure between the thumb and
fCretinger will crush them they are
done. If allowed to boil till the grains
burst or boiled in small quantity of
water, the grains will stick together
When done, drain off the water and set
the rice on the range, where it will
keep warm. Exchange
