 Glngs clever twirling for the visitors III the New London-N New Haven game at savin Rock yesterday afternoon was responsible for New Haven's defeat at the hands of the "Whalers." By heady work he held them down to two safe hits and at odd times struck out four.
 The game went to the visitors at the start off and they held their lead to the end Mcdonald pitched for New Ha- ven and at times was effective. At other times, though, New London's long hits were most painful to see. As the fielding of the home team was not quite up to the standard these had more tc do with winning the game than they otherwise would have had. Tate espe- cially seemd to have an off day and by poor judgment allowed several flies to escape him. In the sixth inning he changed places with Broadway. Davis and Parent played their usual game and feded their positions we'll
 The game was largely attended by excursionists from out of town. In the ninth inning rain came down for fifteen minutes.

happened, however. that they had mis-

more wives realized that home should
be something besides 6 clean place TO

tons. but they like dinner and supper
parties. Many families refrain from
entertaining because they cannot do

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 Il 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, small
quantity of rice should be boiled In q
large pot nearly filled with water. Put
it into cold water and little salt and
boil rapidly for 90 or 80 minutes. Test
the grains occasionally, and when 8
slight pressure between the thumb and
forefinger will crush them they are
done If allowed to boil till the grains
burst or boiled in a 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.-ExchaDge

Hook Swinging In Bengal

The people OF Gangutia. ia Bengal.
have a 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 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
herrings on wire when ready for the
hook
1t is thought that the victims are
drugged considerably beforehand. owing
30 The sullen. dazed expression they
wear throughout. but sometimes one or
two faint and are with great difficulty
brought round again.
