stove one quart of milk to boil, add "a
pinch of salt, three large spoonfuls Of
sugar, and one of butter; now mix one
cupful of rice -four in a little cold milk,
and stir in when the milk boils; let this
cook well for a few minutes, so that the
raw taste of the flour may not be per-
ceived, being careful not to scorch it.
A double boiler is best to use. Wet some
small moulds or cups in cold water. Fla
vor the he'blanc-mange to taste, pour into
the moulds and set away until perfectly
cold. Serve with whipped cream, or a
rich yellow boiled custard. Another way
is to first put into the cups or moulds, a
spoonful of bright red jelly OF some acid
fruit, then turn on the blanc-mange.
This may be served with cream and pre-
serves.

slices of bakers bread, butter them gen

then, it must have been an economic
thought in the divine mind when he thus
provided rice as an article of diet for
evey third person in the world, to say
nothing of the other millions who mostly
subsist upon il in India, Burmah, and
he sla nds of the sea. 1t seems a little
strange that people in our country do
not adopt it more as a staple article of
food, but we Americans like s'made
dishes," and a variety of food better,
and if it is to be rice for our dinner, it
must be as an adjunct, not dinner by
itself. Indeed, we quite pity the poor
Mongolian who sits down to his rice as
his continual fare However, he cares not
for our pity, if so be he can only get
enough of it.
1t is as cheap dish as can be found
for the money, and is therefore the poor
mans friend. A pound costs only ten
cents, and then it has such a gratifying,
accommodating way with it, of doubling
and trebling itself into such goodly pro-
portions, that you think there is no
doubt this time at least about getting
the worth of your money
There is no article of food more insipid
or tasteless than rice imperfectly cooked.

Southern friends, while those from the
North are more in the habit of using it
as dessert only.

Herewith we give six different ways of
cooking rice, each of which will prove
satisfactory. In addition, no end of pud-
dings, varied here and there by spices,
fruits and sauces, known only as a secret
to the experienced cook, can be made by
this accommodating Southern grain.

Finds ii not unique, enhancing, novel, new--
though ages old.
Fire and air.'nnd earth and water, warp and
wool of everything.
From Inc rock within tay bosom unto man with
thought for wing,
Man It Is who harkens TO me, marks my many
moods with care:
Loves me best when Flora docks me in the garb
she bids mo wear
Unto him my wind brings message from the
Il corners OF the elrth;
Tells of spices, smells of ocean, warns of
storms impending birth.
Unto him my rain will cllatter,pattertng on the

Or will strike some hidden minor, stirring then
such dreary tones.
Into him the snow Is silent, soft as zephyr,

Having sunset, mountain rainbow, storm and
