HER TRIBUTE.

There are always men willing to un-
dertake the mighty responsibilities and
yexatious cares ~devolving upon the
President OF the United States, but it
does not follow that they can discharge
them successfully. Mr.. Mckinley
has probably come nearer to doing so
than any other President since Abra-
ham Lincoln. Before his term ex-
pires, however, he may require the
wisdom Of Solomon to guide us
through the labyrinth Of questions now
arising, which we have hitherto known
not of. The loyalty Of the whole ma
ton has doubtless stimulated his en-
durance and lightened his burdens.

to conduct affairs that the greatest

doubted. Many have watched with
equally earnest solicitude lest his
Judgement might err; but no final dis
appointment in the result Of his action
has ~transpired. His keen institutions
have led him Alright. His ~far-seeing
craftsmanship, tactful handling Of del
icate situations, and answering fidelity
to duty have made him an ideal
Chief Executive in the troublous times
since his Inauguration. The discon-
tent Of the masses. prostration Of bust
ness interests, and the cries for help
of a prosecuted people, met him on a
threshold Of his administration. Assis-
ted by Congress and the loyal people
Of the country. he has attacted and
solved these problems successfully.

gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we went for a physician and it
was under his care for a week. At this
time the child had been sick for about
ten days and was having about twenty
five operations of The bowels every
twelve hours, and we were convinced
that unless it soon obtained relief it
would not live. Chamberlain's Collie,

Alfalfa Worms.

AS is we'll known, several fields Of
alfalfa in different parts Of this county
seem to be dead, and 1t has generally
been attributed to the plant beiug win
ter killed. But Isador Meyer, who
had a fine tract on Upper Crooked riv-
er, which is nearly all killed out. is Of
a different opinion. Being anxious, to
know what had destroyed the plant,
he examined hundreds of them and
found wherever one was dead or SEEM
ingly affected. that the roots we're de-
stroyed to a depth Of from s to 10
inches down from the top by a small
white worm about half an inch long
with a brownish head. The worms
appearantly commence at the crown
and work down, eating out the center
Of the root, leaving 1t a mere tube or
shell. In pulling up the plant in his
examinations, he found that the root
broke off just at the point to which the
worm had eaten. They were very nu-
morous, in all stages of development.
Mr., Meyer is confident that these
worms are the cause of the alfalfa dy-
ing out, but does not pretend to know
what they are or where they came
from. A thorough investigation should
be made so as to know what to expect
from the pest. as 1t threatens the very
existence Of one Of our principal in
dustries.-Princeville { Or Journal.

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 l

from the bindery ready to be sent home.

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

When Home Is Sweet,

Fewer wives would sit lonesomely at
home while their husbands roam else
where i'll 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 Il good time
have Just as many men guests as wom-
en- guests. If the men are to have n
good time; make sure that some of the
women are pretty and flattcring. Men

Got the Wrong woman.

A pastime which obtains among the
farm classes of Korea, known as the
''packing off of widows, consists of a
raid by some disConsOlate 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 Kan9wha with Il friends
went to a hamlet close to the walls of
Kangwha city where widow lived
and seized and carried off. after some
what of a battle, a 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 and its contents had
been completely demolished she was
escorted home in triumph by her hus
band and his friends. Kobe Chronicle.

Hook Swinging In Bengal.

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.

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 a
large pot nearly filled with water. Put
it into cold water and little salt and
hoil rapidly for 30 or 80 minutes Test
the grains occasionally. and when a
slight pressure between the thumb and
fCrefnger 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 Exchange
