Rolled HiCe.

With the exception of the Irish potato
no article of food is more abused than
rice. Most readers think this Is easily
prepared. So it is, perhaps. but few
cooks or nurses AVE an Idea Of the
necessity of having 1t properly d~one-that
Is, cooking 1t until every grain becomes
perfectly softened. If the grains are not
reduced to this soft state, rice is almost
certain. when swallowed, to irritate the
digestive organs, n instead Of sooth-
ing the parts and sustaining strength,
will actually produce diarrhoea, &c.
This has been frequently noticed in hos
pitfalls. When properly boiled until each
particle becomes SO softened that the
grain cannot be detected when eaten
but not cooked so much that the shape
of the grain is destroyed. n the mass
reduced to the appearance Of paste
there are few articles of diet for the sick
which can be made more acceptable to
the taste of invalids than boiled rice.

They reached the island and buried
the gold in n cave. The captain and

weeks later, and while trying to leave
the island the BOAT capsized, drowning
all but Henderson and one companion,

CHOOSING THEIR E

There has been a sharp fight between
two great Republican leaders In this
State. DR.. Chauncey NJ. Dcpew and
Thomas C. Plat. over the selection by
Speaker Malby Of q Chairman for the
Railroad Committee of the Assembly.
The accepted report Is that DR.. Depew
has won and that the Vanderbilt man
will carry of the prize.
Just where the interests Of the rail-
road magnate n the express magnnte
clash in the control of a legislative rail-
road committee. the lobby expert in such
matters can best explain. But II Is
quite certain that n chairman selected
by DIR. Depew would be In fact the
whole committee and would make legisla-
ton pleasant for the Vanderbilt cor
%porations during the present session.
But The question suggests itself. what
Will become OF the peoples interest in
important railroad measures? How will
the pubic be served II questions of the
protection of human life on railroads. or
of restrictions on ~monopolies, or OF any
other important matters, are TO be left

usual because OF the depression OF busl-
ness and the lack of employment.
In view OF these facts The World
rencws Its Free Bread Fund. and heads
the revived subscription list with a gift
of twenty thousand loaves.
This relief is direct. practical n I'M
Objectionable. 1t IL no encouragement
to idlcness. 1t Is simply giving food
means to procure 1t. In one respect 1t Is
a very desirable method of dispensing
charity, because II nvcrts the necessity
Of begging for something to cat. 1t is
less likely to encourage imposition than
almost any other mode of relief. because
no one who Is not really hungry will APP
ply for a loaf OF bread. and there cannot
be much sham and fraud in an empty
stomach.
a sufficient supply OF free bread will
happily bridge over n season of suffering
which IS rapidly drawing to n close.
With Spring will come permanent n
solid relief in the form of renewed de-
mand for labor, and the sunshine OF
Summcr will bring gladness n indie
