WOMEN WHO KEEP INFORMED IN CUR RENT LITERATURE. Aa Eeoeunnieal Method of Parekaalag Boolu and CoaTenieat and Sociable Way of DiectMMitc the Latest Effnaloa of Popular Writer. An English woman, recently married to a Xew York lawyer, with a home in the suburbs, is trying an interesting ex periment in the way of a literary and book lending society. The system she has adopted has been ased in suburban towns of England and in many of the larger provincial cities for more than half a centnry. In fact, there is a soci ety in Rochester, England, which claim to have had it in continual use for more than 100 year. There is probably nc system exactly like it, however, in this part of the world. t The main object of this system is to supply books to women who have ample time for reading and are eager to keep pace with all that is interesting in the tremendous rush of contemporaneous literature, A man with even a moderate income cannot afford to keep his 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 SO cents. In nine cases out of ten the first price is more likely to be f 1.50. To be sure, almost everything nowadays nltimately drifts into the cheap edition, but it is after the book has ceased to be fresh in the minds of the public end eoplo have ceased to talk about it Women who live in tho country and in the suburbs have more time for read ing than women in citits, and withal fewer meHiia of getting anything good to read. The time worn volumes in thu local circulating library have been their familiar friends from childhood. If the husband subscribes to a circulating library in town and promises to bring a new book home with hira every night, he is likely to grow 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 about it. Her husband hasn't time to read, and the ac quaintances she visits have never even heard of it. The literary English woman fonnd her self in this plight, so she interested her self hi forming a club similar to the one 6he lxdouged to at her English home. The idea is a simple one. Forty or 50 persons in a town organize a book soci ety. That is the name usually given to them in England. It has been found advisable to have at least 40 members, and not to have more than 50. The membership are kept waiting six years, and sometimes more, for admission. A society Xo. 2 has naturally been formed. but the prestige remains with the pioneer society, which meets every week, winter and summer, in the Old Bull hotel, made famous in the "Pickwick Papers." The society hires a room, cheerful and com- fortable. which is placed at its disposal one night each week. The landlord al i lows the members to keep a large cup board in the room in w hich to store "oix.ks. lliese books are in charge ot a secre tary. The position is simply an honorary one, but the members usually make the cee-retarv who attends to business a very t substantial Christmas present a piece of silver or some article of household furniture perhaps. The members deter mine by ballot what Uks shall be pur chased, but it devolves upon the secre tary to buy them. He is supposed to get discount prices from publishers. This ia managed without difficulty, and the publishers generally find it for their own interest to remember the secretary about Christmas time. Tho result is that in prospe-rous societies the position is sought after. It is worth while to do- vote some little time to it. Ballotingtodeterminewhat new books shall be bought takes place once each month. If twenty or more members find it expedient 1 purchase some new book or series of books issned between ballot ing meetings such, for instance, as Stanley's latent r-cord of his travels or a new volume of a popular encyclope dia the secretary must get it for them when they present a request in writing. But the members keep themselves so well jxisted that books of this kind are usually voted for in advance. All the 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 and even reread Dickens. Thackeray, Scott and numer ous other standard writers. The wants of these people must be and are provided for to a reasonable extent. Each mem ber may draw three liooks 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 one week. Everv two vears the books belonging to the seiciety are assorted by tho secre tary into lots of equal value and are "drawn by the different members in a lottery. Every memlx'r 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 are able to build up a solid little library at home. Every member eventually gets his money back in books. As to the cost of running a sex-iety f this kind, jierhaps the best criterion Would be the Kochester society. Each member pays a shilling at initiation and sixpence a week dues. If he gets behind in his dues, he is fined threepence for each week. If he neglects it for more than a month, his name is dropped. This has rarely happened in the Kochester soci ety, allhor.gh the rules are rigidly in forced. Tlu money collected in this way has l)oen found amide to run the society and keep the number abreast of new Lt.-ralure. The weekly meetings are largely de voted to eliictissum. Twoer thre-e of the newest books are usually taken up. The talk is mostly conversational, though the secT-tary is snpjuised to exercise some control of the meeting and keep the membe rs from all talking at once. New York Time. Charges Against Minister. "The bitterness of SL Triconpis," M, De-schamps remarks, "his fatal ardor for work, his tragic and fatigued air, fill the Greeks with stupefaction. It seem to them his conception of life ia strange, and that he most have learned those ways in morose latitudes where the son never shines." When I was in Athena some years ago, the most serious charge against the prime minister I was able to se ize were tho extensivenesa of his col lars and cuffs, which were fonnd an Eng lish exaggeration; his bolt uprightness and his habit of speaking without gestic ulatinga l'anglaise, the Greeks would bitterly add. Westminster Review. Increasing- Clnb Membership. Members of a New York club are a little -hocked at receiving from the club authorities a circular asking everybody to do what he can to increase the club membership This wholesale method of soliciting members is esteemed unwise, but it is a small matter compared with advertising for new members, a thing oc-ca.-iouaily re'seirted to by the proprietary clubs of London. Such an advertisement now running in a London peditico liter ary weekly is esjiecially addressed to members of parliament. New York Sun.. A Boy's Clever Trick. A young boy in Ionia, Mich., wanted to attend the theater the other evening, but he did not have the necessary money.

After gaming admittance he threw the book out of a window to the messenger and tiaturaily.enjoyed the perf ormance.

One of the most curious rpecif cf known fruit is the "holy cr sacred cit ron" of the Jews. Its virtues are lauded to the skies, and it is celebrated in leg end, rmurnce, poetry nod song, and yet it appears that it is never eaten. It is known in most all oriental countries, but apjiesrs to be most highly esteemed by the Moorish Jews of Tunis and Mo rocco. On the streets of the last named city it is sold at about 8 cents per fruit. These fruits are generally purchased by bands of roving pilgrims, the members of religions processions and Jewish priest. When one of these sacred citrons fall into the hands of a priest, he takes it to the synagogue, where it is kept to be used in some emblematic rite during the time of the great feast of the tabernacles. Not only in oriental countries are these holy fruit known and esteemed, but in Germany, Russia, France, Sjiain and in England. They are probably used in American Jewish synagogues to some ex tent, bat such use would be necessarily limited. In England, so I am informed, good specimens of holy citrons bring as much as 60 shillings each, there being whole companies which make their im portation a "side line." The use of this unique fruit is supposed to be derived from the injunction con tained in the twenty-third chapter of the book of Leviticus. Exchange. Sew Method of Starting Street Cars. The latest method of starting street cars in Denver is said to result in a sav ing of at least 60 per cent over the cost of the ordinary system. The difficulty of maintaining schedule time with a large number of cars is well recognized, and on many lines if the car bo delayed by an accident for a quarteT of an hour or 20 minutes the whole line will be so demoralized that schedule time will not be overtaken during the whole day. In the city of Denver there are 74 miles of electrical and 13 miles of cable tracks, requiring 103 trains in daily operation. To obviate the inconvenience which a breakdown of any kind inevitably causes a system of telephone circuits has been arranged with various call points, all communicating with the head office. Ev ery conductor on arriving at the termi nus of the route immediately reports the number of his car to headquarters aud receives in reply his proper leaving time and any instructions that may be neces sary. The dispatch clerk is in this way advised of tho whereabouts of each car and is very often enabled to fill up a space of from 'M to 60 minutes caused by a "parade." The saving of starters at the various termini is taken as a setoff against the expanse of the telephones. Chicago News-Record. Tobacco Smoke Is a Preservative. "You have probably never thought of tobacco smoke as a preservative influ ence, 111 venture." .remarked Chatfield Arthur to several companions in the La clede, "Of course wo all know that spirits, and especially alcohol, will keep whole most anything you are of a mind to commit to its permeating care. 1 have found tobacco smoke to be equally good, with no worse results as regards odor than alchol. unless yon dislike to bacco. I know that I have put bugs, worms and various kinds of reptiles in Lirge beittle-s and have kept them for years by simply blowing the bottle full of strong tobacco smoke and sealing it projerly. "Tlie iorfi?ct forms would remain for years, in fact just as long as the bottle remained perfectly sealed. Uion open ing it the result has invariably been that is, in cases of longstanding a com plete collapse. Still the effect is no worse than that of alcohol, for one never thinks of removing a preservative life form from the alcohoL When one puts a form in alcohol, it is understood to be merely for looks and not for examination or han dling." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Tolnt For Travelers. The advice is given by a well known society woman who travels a great deal to wear one's best underclothing while on the cars. "Never mind if it does get ooiled," she mvs. "I have known of the most flagrant cases of neglect during railremd accidents of people whose un derwear looked as though they might be poor. This is a shameful fact, but the people who pick np the wounded after a wreck are intensely human. Many of them do not pnlose to open their homes to sufferers unle-ss they are to be paid for it. They judge of the ability of jkx pie to pay largely by their underwear, as the outside garb of most well to do people is more or less the same in these days." The idea of nt-raying one's self with a view to accide-nts whea starting out on a journey is perhaps likely to suggest usedess forebodings, and this advice is likely to engende-ra jn-ssiniism regarding the character of one's fellow men, but it may be worth heeding.

It Was Utterly In known la Englaad ty-flve Tears Ago. The medicinal use of menthol in China aad Japan goes back, into the dateless ages. Isolated references to it applic tion in the east are met with here and there in the record of western traveler in those parts, but we shall probably never know the name of itsducovcrer or the early history of its introduction. We do not know with absolut? cer tainty when and by whom menthi 1 crys tal were first brought to the notice cl European pharmacologists. It is said that they were used pharmaceutically on the continent as long ago as the end of the last century, but if that statement is cap able of proof the drug must have fallen into oblivion shortly after its introduc tion, for it was certainly utterly un known, even by repute, to most person! in the drug trade 23 years ago. Some where about 1SG4 a consignment, of th drug was received in London under thi name cf Chinese peppermint oil and passingly commented upon for it curious property of solidifying with a fall in the temperature. To the late John Mackay of Edinburgh belongs the distinction of first having called the attention of British pharma cists to tho valuablo properties of men thol. Mr. Mackay is believed to have brought "po-ho oil" with him from Paris, where it was then sold in the email, red labeled Chinese bottles famil iar to eastern travelers aa a kind of pro prietary article. Had menthol been an utterly valueless medicine it would perhaps have taken Europe by storm then and reigned for a season, just long enough to gather a for tune for its first exploiter. Bat as the drug happened to have a solid thera peutic value it had to wrestle througl the familiar stages of contumely, rieli cule, animosity and unreasoning popu larity, just like any new creed or re former. The commercial interest of menthol practically dates from 1S73, when an English firm in Yokohama made a Email shipment of it to London, determined not to rest until they had succeeded in securing for the remedy a footing upon the market. After many mouths their shipment went back with a note from the agents announcing that "the stuff" could not be sold there, as no one knew what to do with it. But tho Yokohama firm persevered, aud they reapeel their reward. Four years later menthol crys tals were the rage of the season, selling at CO shillings per pound, wholesale, ar.d carried about in cone shape by all ir sous with any pretense to the possession of a civilized nervous system. Chemist The Caarina's Taste. It is said that the czarina of Russia, although employing over 100 seam stresses, prefers to make her younger children's dresses herself. When their hats come from the milliner's, their royal mother pulls them to pi;sces and retrim them to suit her own taste. Fancy the agony of the little princesses! The mooted question of the cancer pro ducing qualities of tomatoes has been net tled. It is affirmed on the testimony of two or three experts that this toothsome and indispensable vegetable ha no such malign tendency and may be eaten with confidence.
