APPLE RICE PUDDING.-Peel, halve
and core six tart apples; place them in
a flat stew-pan' with little water, two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, two or three
cloves, and stick of cinnamon; when
tender, take up carefully; boil the sirup
while longer, and pour over the
pieces. Boil two thirds of a teacupful
of rice in milk, with scant teacupful
of white sugar, and the rind of lemon,
until the rice is thoroughly cooked;
then take out the rind and stir in the
beaten yelks of three eggs. Put half
of the rice at the bottom of pudding
dish; spread over the apples; cover
with the remaining rice, and place in a
cool oven for ten or fifteen minutes;
beat the whites of the eggs into stiff
froth, add the juice of lemon, three
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, and
spread over the pudding. Return to
the oven until of delicate brown.
Rock CREAM.-This will be found to
be very ornamental as we'll as deli
cious dish for supper-table. Boil tea
cupiul of the best rice till quite soft in
new milk sweetened with powdered
loaf sugar and pile it upon a dish; lay
on it in different places square Jumps OF
either currant jelly or preserved fruit
of any kind; beat up the whites OF five
eggs to stiff froth with little pow
dered sugar, and flavor with lemon or
vanilla. Add to this when beaten very
stiff about tablespoonful of rich
cream and drop it over the rice, giving
it the form of rocks of snow.
How TO CURE DYsPEPsIA.-Dr Mich
OILS, who has made series OF dletetic
experiments on himself. has arrived at
the conclusion that, if the stomach is
allowed to rest, any case of dyspepsia
may be cured; that the diet question
was at the root of all diseases; that pure
blood can only be made from pure food,
and that, if the drink of a nation were
pure aud free from stimulating quail
ties, and the food was also pure, the re-
suit would be pure health.
EGG BREAD. - Egg bread is not
cheap, but it is good, and young house
wives, whose yeast sometimes plays
tricks with them, will find it great
resource. To make it take one pint Of
milk, two eggs, butter the size OF an
egg, one half cupf1l of sugar. three
teaspoonfuls OF sea foam, flour enough
to make batter; bake. This makes
one loaf.
VEGETABLE CURRY.-Take carrots,
celery, parsley, potatoes. onions and
cucumbers; cut small and add to some
good stock properly seasoned. When
sufficiently stewed, mix in piece OF
butter with -four to give it thickness, a
tablespoonful of curry powder and the
Juice OF small lemon. Boil up and
when serving add spoonful OF catsup.
A SIDE DIsH.-Boil some eggs until
hard; remove the shells; cut in half;
take out the yelks and beat up with q
little chopped parsley seasoned with
pepper and salt; refill the whites and
serve with drawn butter.
GRAVES AND SoUPs.-To make gra-
vies and soups q rich dark-b brown, put
some -four on q tin plate in the oven, or
on the stove, and brown slightly, TO be
used for thickening.

Respectfully returned. The com

displayed by this regiment. The plan
of organization which has been regarded
most favorably proposes q consolida-

as they now exist into six companies.
and that the regimental organization be
maintained by attaching to the six thus
formed four companies OF colored

A COOL THIEF.

The difficulty of capturing first class pickpockets
In pretty well known, for, unlike other classes of
criminals, they exceedingly expert. and always
select such occasions for their operations will
defeat detection. Unhappily for George Williams
said. by the way, to BIO an English thief of
the FIRST water" slight bit of awkwardness
on his own part brought him to grief. The
trouble happened on the 10th of December last
the scene being the Houston street station of the
Elevated Railroad. Among other passengers waiting
TO 20 mp town was Mr.. Herman Stcinberger, of Sew
enty-eghth street. and from all accounts the crowd
was pretty extensive. Mr.. Stcnberger, aportly gen.
tleman of fifty. found himself pressed back by man
standing in front OF him. He yielded with good
grace possible for few moments, but Immediately
suspecting something saw the throw down a
watch ring and putting his hand in his vest pocket,
found that his valuable tmepiece had disappeared.
Williams, who, of course, had handed the watch to
confederate was collared and taken TO the station
house. He arraigncd by Assistant District At
torney Rollins before Judge Cowing in Part of the
Court of General Sessions yesterday. He pretty
well attired and wore most innocent ex.
