When Home Ia sweet.

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 a 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 a
good time, make sure that some of the
women are pretty and flattering. Men
like to be t1attered. Oh, yes, they do

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 a young widow, the forcible abduc-
ton 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 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 and its contents had
been completely demolished she was
escorted home in triumph by her hus-
band and his friends. Kobe Chronicle

opening back and front. gently pressing

"IngersoIism Illustrated"

The following editorial on Inger-
solism is regarded by the Hon. Late
Young, in his Des Moines Capital,
as worthy of the widest reading at
this time. 1t appeared in the Saint
Louis Globe-Democrat and is SER
mon built upon an event that is
now enSrossing the attention of the
entire world. It tells some great
truths, aud tells them in manner
that is unobjectionable to all men:
In the faith of the Christian the
soul parts company from the body
in death. The being who has been
the object of love and responsive to
1T, who has been capable of thought
and achievement, is not extinguish-
ed to those who believe in immor-
tality. They see in death a veil
drawn between earthly existence
and the continued life of the soul.
10 the naterialist the stoppage of
the heart-beats ends ALL The persons
in whom affection and friendship
are centered may, as he is convinc-
ed, be wholly exterminated in an
instant, leaving nothing but memo
ry without hope, and sad remnant
of clay that must be resigned to the
chemistry of nature. Under such
circumstances all the materialist
clings with desperate tenacity to
the rigid form which he believes to
be the last visible or invisible token
of past associations. The corrupt
IDLE is all that remains to his vision.
and the unspeakable consolation of
the Christian he condemns and re-
jects. In the event of death materi-
allsm has no rites to offer except
4 oh
an eternal farewell. There may be
eloquent tributes to a precious past,
but the one upon whose body the
earth closes is denied future, and
the cruel epitaph is "The End"
Col. Ingersoll's death was instan-
taneous. One moment he was the
man of genius, with millions upon
millions of thoughts and memories
in his brain, with the fondest devo-
ton in his heart for his family. aud
yet, it materialiSm is to be credited,
all persisted the next moment when
the tide of life suddenly stood still.
The body was worn out, but what
of that mysterious essence and
power that was Ingersoll: Was it
turned to nothingness in the twink
ling OF OF an eye, utterly destroyed
when the mechanical forces of the
body were arrested! The material
list assumes that it was, though as
powerless to prove it as he is to dis
prove the converse. There has been
hesitation is to the disposition to
be made of Col. Ingersolls remains
and as to the ceremonies of his fun
eral that is significant. Materialism
is COMPOUNDED in the presence of
death and its own barren vision of
it. There is something even in the
heart OF skeptics warning them
that their creed does violence to the
deepest promptings of the human
mind.

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 little salt and
boil rapidly for 90 or 80 minutes. Test
the grains occasionally, and when a
slight pressure between the thumb and
forefinger 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.

denly at the Joliet penitentiary last

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 abouta 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
to the sullen, dazed expression they
wear throughout, but sometimes one or
two faint and are with great difficulty
brought round again.

Hay Crops on Ice.

Farmers who live in the vicinity OF
Muskego lake, in southeastern Wiscon-
sin, derive profitable income from
the lake each winter by harvesting
hay on the ice. The shallowness OF
the water in the lake bed causes the
grass growing on the bottom to project
considerably above the surface, and
when the ice forms the hay can be
cut with great ease, though it cannot
be got at the rest Of the year on ac
count OF the Doggy nature Of the lake
bottom.
