EAcTs ABOUT RIcE.-As AN article OF
food. rice is Of more use and OF larger
cultivation than any other cereal grown.
Ii is almost the only diet OF the hun.
dreds of millions OF people In China.
Asia and oil Eastern counties. In those
countries and everywhere, except hero
ut the North. it Is Used the same as pc.
tatocs and il u substitute for thcm.---
Only here is rice looked upon rs lux.
ury, TO be used with milk and sugar.
Al the present low price OF domestic
rice, it ia now the cheapest food obtain
able, and cheaper than potatoes, the lat.
ter being scarce and higher than for
years. Potatoes contain about 80 per
cent. OF water and do not gain much in
tho process of cooking. Blu. rice con.
tairs only % per cent. OF water, and in
boiling gains three times its original size.
Rice properly prepared should como
upon the tsbledry, each grain unbroken,
and served with the condiments used on
potatoes. - Er:LaaGe.
PRESERVING Eocs.- a writer In Ito
English Mechunic Gays: ain tue year
l8Il-72. preserved eggs SO pcrfcctiy
that, after lapse OF six months. thaiy.
were mistaken when brought TO the ta6fo
for fresli-laid eggs, and l believe they
would have kept equally good for twelve
months. My mode Of preservation was
to varnish the eggs rs soon after they
were laid as possible with thin copal
yarnish taking care that the wholorof
the shell was covered with the vaf4f<zss
subsequently found that by pafnf}hx
the eggs with fresh albumen. beaten up
With little salt, they were preserved
equally well, and for as long q period.
After vanishing or painting with albu.
men, lay the eggs upon rough blotting-
paper. rs found that, when allowed to
rest till dry upon plate oron the table.
the albumen stuck so fast TO the table
or plate as to take away clip out OF
the shell. This is entirely ebyjatcd bv
the use OF the blotting paper pack
the eggs in boxes OF dry BRAN
LEMONS ron CoSsUMrTioS.-An cx-
change gives the following recipe for
consumption Put dozen Of whole
lemons in cold water and boil until soft
mot too soft. roll and squeeze until tho
juice is all extracted, sweeten the Juice
enough 10 be palatable. then drink. Use
az many rs dozen day. Should they
cause pain or looscness OF the bowels.
lessen the quantity and use FIVE or Ska
day, until little better. then begin and
use dozen again. BY the time you have
used five or six dozen, yon will begin 70
gain strength and have an appetite or
course, rs you get better, you need not
use as many. Follow these directions.
and VIC know you will never regret IL IL
there Is any help for you. Only keep IL
up faithfully. We know OF two cases
where both OF the patients were given up
BY the physicians, and were in the last
stages Of consumption. yet both we're
cured by simply using lemons according
TO the directions We have stated. Ono
lady In particular was bedriddcn and
very low hal tried everything that mon.
ey could procure. but all ia vain. when,
TO please q friend, she was finally per.
shaded TO use The lemons. She began
to use them in February, and in April
she weighed 40 pounds. She il a we'll
woman to day. and likely 20 live Is long
