There is probably no system exactly like it, -however, in thl' part of the world. The main object of this system Is to supply books to women who have ample time for rending and are eager to keep pare with all that is interesting in tlie tremendous rush of contemporaneous literature. A man with even n moderate Income cannot afford to keep liis wife supplied with new books and magazines as they come out The cheapest new novel, if it Is worth anything, will be sure to cost him 60 cents. In nine cases out of ten the first price is more likely to bo 1.50. To be sure, almost everything nowadays ultimately drifts into tlie cheap edition, but it is after the book has ceased to be fresh In the minds of tbe publio and people have ceased to talk about iU Women who live in tbe country and In the Buhurbs liavo ruoro time for read ing than women in cities, and withal fewer means of getting anything good to read. Tbe time worn volumes in the local circulating library have been their familiar friends from childhood. If tbo husband subscribes to a circulating library in town and promises to bring a new book home with him every-night, ha la likely to gTow weary soon and for get all about it An then when an in telligent woman reads a good novel she likes to talk to somebody abont it, ller husband hasn't time to read, and the ac quaintances she visits have never even beard of It, Tbe literary English woman found her self in this plight, so she Interested her self in forming a club similar to the one she belonged to at her English home. Tbe idea Is a simple one. forty or SO persons in a town organize a book soci ety That is tbe name usually given to them in England. It has been found advisable to bavo at least 40 members, and not to have more than SO. The Rochester society has adhered to this rule despite powerful pressure to in crease its membership. Applicants for membership are kept waiting six years, and sometimes more, for admission. A society No. 2 has naturally been formed but the prestige remaina with the pioneer society which meets every week, winter and summer, in the Old Bull hotel, made famous in tbe "Pickwick Papers." The society hires a room, cheerful aud com- rortaDie, wnicn is piaceu at its disposal one night each week. The landlord al lows tbe members to keep a large cup board in tbe room in which to store books. These books are in charge of a secre tary. Tbe position is simply an honorary one, but the members usually make the secretary who attends to business a very substantial Christmas present a piece of silver or some article of household furniture perhaps. The members deter mine by ballot what books shall be pur chased, but it devolves upon the secre tary to buy them lie is snpposed to get discount prices from publishers. This is managed without difficulty, and tbe publishers generally find it for their own interest to rememberthe secretary about Christmas time. The result is that in prosperous societies the position is sought after. It is worth while to de vote some little time to It, Balloting to determine what new books shall be bought takes place once each month. If twenty or more members find It expedient to purchase some new book or series of books Issued between ballot ing meetings snch, for Instance, as titanley'B latest record of his travels or a new volume of a popular encyclope diathe secretary must get It for them when they present a request in writing. But tbe members keep themselves so well posted that books of this kind are usually voted for in advance. All tbe money subscribed is not devot ed to buying new books and magazines. In every society there are a few mem bers who prefer to read aud even reread Dickens, Thackeray, bcott and numer ous other standard writers. Tlie wants of these people must be and are provided for to a reasonable extent. Each mem ber may draw three books at one time, but it is not allowed to keep any book for more than 14 days. If it Is a book which is in demand, the time is limited to onp week. Every two years the books belonging to the society ore assorted by tbe secre tary into lots of equal value and aro 'drawn" by the different members in a lottery Every member present has the right to draw one number. In this way the "cupboard' of the society Is kept free from "dead wood" and the Individual members ore able to build up a solid little library at home. Every member eventnally gets his money back in books. As to tbe cost of running a society f this kind, perhaps tbe best criterion would be the Rochester society. Each member pays a shilling at initiation and sixpence a week dues. If be gets behind Inlilailuc. holstined threepence for each week. If be neglects it for more than a month, his name is dropped. This has rarely happened in the Rochester soci ety, although the rules are rigidly in- rorcea. i tie money cuuecieu in uns way has been found ample to run the society ana keep tne members abreast or new literature. The weekly tneettnata are largely de voted to discussion. Two or three of the remed) for 'la grippe ' God in deail to us until we find out that he loves us. IIHCNKF.NNKS, or Hi.

The man ufacturer's chief stock in trade consists of wooden or metal molds, lu these the wet clay is put Into shape and allowed to dry. It is then touched up, dipped In molten glaze and allowed to cool. Tbe average workman can turn out 100 a day. The clay is kaolin, running from red and gray to snow white, and costs about 1 cent per pound. The glaze is melted in a small charcoal furnace, similar to tb- old fashioned soldering furnaces of n tired plumbers. The wages of a good artist vary from SO to 40 cents per day. The cost ot fair sized image is about 8 cents. He sells it for about 5 cents to a native and for as high as (3 to the credulous Euro pean or American tourist. The molding, touching and retouching are tbe same in oil shops. Tbe glazing varies Inden- tritely. It may be opaque, of any color;. transparent, but tinted with any shade desired, or clear and colorless. Tbe best work is made by painting tbe clay with heavy white paint and dipping in the glaze last described. In another kind of good work the clay is colored in caustic colors, kept In the heat until they hare set and then glazed as usual. The Chi nese are very skillful in this field of la bor and with fine brushes will turn out josses that at first sight might be taken tor cloisonne. rmladelphla iTesa. A -Woman Rebuked.

Tbe captain had a large nose, but though a good natured man he could not be generous enough to forego scoring OS the lady. To her horror, be immedi ately rose in his seat and taking off his hat replied in Hindoostanee also, "Han, Sahib bahut bara nak hat" ("Yes, inodani, I have a very large nose, y bonaon xit-uits.

The late Fanny Kemble is remembered by old residents of Germantown and Philadelphia as a superb horsewoman. She had a fiery temper, which matched that of- her husband, Pierce Butler, and ppeodlly brought about what is still one one of the most noted divorce trials re ported in the law books. In her youth she was remarkably beautiful, and in the role of Juliet she was the personifica tion ot dazzling loveliness. She was not ed for her keenness ot wit even in the days of ber old age.
