A Wilt to tho st. Cloud Granite Com
pany'S Quarry.


We accepted m invitation on Friday
last frsm Mr.. w. NJ. Tileston, general
manager Of the St. Cloud Granite Quar-.
rying and Manufacturing Company. tc
visit their quarry and take look at the
ledge Of granite which they were about
to open up. We were accompanied by
Eugene Hill, Photographic artist, whom
Mr.. Tileston had engaged to take some
views Of the rock bed, and Mr.. Thcmp.
son. The quarry is located about four
miles southwest Of this city, and about
half mile west Of Albert Smiths farm.
We had heard something of the quantity
Of the rocky deposit, but we're not pre-
pared to witness what here spread itself
before our vision. The granite in some
places rises above the level Of the earth
forty and fifty feet, and slopes off grad.
ally from the front. Ascending the cliffs
as best we might, in company with Mr.T.,
we found ourselves upon field of solid
red granite covering eight or ten acres,
and extending into the bowels Of the
earth for hundreds ond hundreds Of feet.
One Of the great advantages of this
lgranite ledge is that the seams or cracks
are much farther apart than is usually
the case in quarries Of this kind, so that
10 piece Of the rock Of almost any availa.
ble size can here be procured. In the "a
nous Aberdeen Scotch quarries it is al.
most impossible to fill m order for a
piece Of granite five feet square. The
monumental base which was dressed in
this city and sent to Chicago last winter,
some seven feet square, was first ordered
IN C,o<larA hit - mao fn%s1l.r ~; II ~
to find such piece in that country, and
it was taken out Of the quarry abos+
which We are writing. This company
will be able to furnish stone Of any size
that can possibly be handled, and as
this granite is superior to the
Scotch material, it will soon
take the place of the for.
eig. article. After looking over the
rocky surface, We returned to the base Of
the precipice. I'VE might appropriately
term it, and prepared to take 4 photo
graphic view Of tho front. Every thing
being in readiness, the party disposed
themselves in differeat positions and soon
the artist took faithful representation
Of the whole, including Mr.. Tleston, Mr..
Albert Smith, the modest representative
Of the Times. and one or two others.
Views Of the front and sides were taken,
the object being to show by these
photographs, to parties in the East and
At = distance, the magnitude Of the
rocky deposit. There is enough of the
finest red granite in this ledge alone, to
furnish the whole country for three or
four generations. It is the intention Of
the company to have spur track run in
to the quarry from the railroad, near
where it crosses the Sauk river, and to
load cars 1T the quarry and send them to
any city east or west.
The gentlemen composing the company
are fully able to handle the scheme sue.
cessfully, and have confidence that it
will prove profitable. They are now pre-
pairing to commence operations, and as
soon as tools, implements, derricks, &c.,
can be procured, = force Of men will be
put to work.

AN INJURIOUS Practice. The pernicious
habit of breathing through the mouth while
sleeping or waking" is very hurttul. There are
many persons who sleep with the mouth open
and do not know it. They may 20 to sleep
with it closed aud awake with it closed; but if
the mouth is dry aud parched on waking, it is a
sign that the mouth has been open during
sleep. Snoring is a certain sign. This habit
should be overcome. At all times, except
when eating, drinking or speaking, keep the
mouth firmly closed, and breathe through the
~nostrils, aud retire with a firm determination
to Conquer. The nostrils are the proper
breathing apparatus-pot the mouth. A man
may inhale poisonous gases through the mouth
without being aware of it, but not through the
nose.

How TO Cook RICE. --Tbe following is the
method recommended 10y the French Academy
for cooking rice, during the siege of Paris. Put
one oupful Of rice and one-tourth of a cuptul OF
water 10 a saucepan; cover aud place it over a
good fire; after an hour the water will be evap-
Grated, end the rice cooked tender, but dry,
aud with the grains distinct, not 10 a paste.
Sufficient salt should be taken not to disturb
the rice while cooking. By adding a little
butter, and allowing the rice to dry a little
more over a gertle fire, a most delicate dish il
prepared.
