How TO Cook RICE.-Rice is becoming a
much more popular article of food than here
tofore. 1t is frequently substituted for pota-
toes at the chief meal Of the day, being more
nutritious and much more readily digested.
At it's present cost, it is relatively cheaper
than potatoes oatmeal or grain-grts of any
kind. In preparing it only just enough cold
water should be poured on to prevent the rice
from burning at the bottom of the pot, which
should have close-ftting cover, and with a
moderate fire the rice is steamed rather than
boiled until it is nearly done !; then the cover
is taken off, the surplus steam and moisture
allowed to escape, and the rice turns out Il
mass of snow-white kernels, each separate
from the other, and as much superior to the
usual soggy mass, as a fine mealy potato is sll-
peror to the water-soaked article.

IIEALTHFULNEss OF FRUIT.-Fruit need
not be considered luxury while apples are
and medicinal properties of no mean order.
This is not new statement, but it is one
that will bear repeating 1t has been said,
with good deal of force, that a truth has to
be proclaimed seven hundred times in the
English Parliament before the least attention
is paid to it. It is known among editors as
it is among advertisers, that similar rule
prevails with respect to what is published in
the newspapers. a raw, mellow apple is Or
dinarily digested in an hour and half, while
boiled cabbage requires five hours; and

breakfast, omitting meals for the time, have

she was struck with terror, and could only
look at tho man without the power 10 give

she was afraid TO give the alarm, fearing
that ho would kill her before The family
could come to her assistance. Sunmoning
up MI her courage she asked the negro
what he wanted, and told him 10 leave lie
