if you all have suffered all that | have
| in trying to cook rice in the Cape Fear
style, i. e. as it should be cooked. and
every time had made a signal and igno-
minious failure, you would feel like pro-
claiming your deliverance from the
housetOp too, SO that other poor souls
who are alternately serving up glue, or
raw rice tif it isn't one horn of the
dilemma. it is the others Certain J can
have the same chance to escape.
Life is so monotonously alike, widely
different as at casual glance 1T may
seem, that our trials and tribu' ations
have their cOunterparts in an infinite
number of W'suspected places, and we
can always find somebody who will be
helped by our telling the short cuts we
have found thro' the Hill Difficulty
yclept daily life But to return to the
rice problem. in tie first place, when
YOU buy rice pour it into your sitter and
sift it vigorously, and all the little wea-
wills, douce and other rubbish will sift
out. and save no end of trouble IN pick
inc it.
Measure what quantity you intend to
cook-a pint is enough for five people if
they eat reasonably, pick it caretull,,
wash it in a plenty of water, then rinse
it. Ifi is RangOon EAST India) rice
rub it very hard in both waters, and it
will be much whittier aud nicer looking.
The douce Of Rangoon rice is very dark,
and very tenaciOus.)
Put the rice into one section of your
steamer. | prefer the one that has only
one steam flue, and measure eractiy as
much water rs there is rice, add it with
az much salt as you like, to the rice.
and put it on the fire, cover closely and
when the water has all evaporated, STIR
the rice once CT twice with fork, and
when you serve it, every grain will be
split, perfectly distinct, and as dry as it
ought to he. You can COOK big hOminy
the same way, only it takes a much
longer time.
You can warm over biscuit ''just as
good as new" by putting them in the
small inside pan with cover that comes
with steamer. 1t will taloe about halt
an hour. but when thoroughly warmed
they are rs moist and fresh as new
baking. HOUsEKEEPER.

With complexion like the rose
Mid the sno"s,
Due to powder Oh her roe,
! suppose.
She twirls upon her toes
In abbreviated clothes
And exhibits spangled hose
To the beauX.
When cruel, time bestows
AdipOse,
Fairy PARIS and all those
She outgrows,
And murnuringly goes
To the very hindmost rows,
To pirouette and pose
With the Crows
When life fraycd and faded grows,
Like her beauX,
She in garret sits and sews
Furbelows
Till her weary eylids close
In the peace of deaths repose
Is the reaping what she sows?
Heaven knows.

NORTHERN SUPERIOR CIVILIZATION

The crowd of people that stand out

at the beginning of the search. The
cold weather having moderated aud
permitted an increase of recruits to the
watchers. The first Impressions created
by the awful calamity, however, have
worn of, and the appearance Of the
patrol wagon to convey its horrible
freightage to the deadhouse is often
greeted with coarse jests and laug hter
by the hardhearted wretches who gather
about the premises. = Telegram from The

The scenery was appropriate and ele-
CANT, the costumes new and handsome
and all the accessories were just what
they should have been.
The orchestra composed of the Black
ball Band deserves special commenda-
ton.
NOTE.-We regret the necessity for
omitting the remainder of the above ar
ticle. 1t was an interesting critique Of
the different characters but as one had
previously been sent to another paper
in this city, and as it is scarcely proper
to crticise amateur performers in the
public prints, we deemed it best to men-
ton merely the parts taken. 1t was a
very interesting occasion and will be re-
peated this evening. We return thanks
for invitation to be present. Wish it
were possible.
