pierced through the tongue, and then
the wretched being will dance for over
half an hour with the wire still hang

Fewer wives would sit lonesomely at

more wives realized that home should
be something besides clean place to
eat and sleep in. Men hate wom-

entertaining because they cannot do
so on an expensive scale. 1t IS, how

Thomas Murray. the noted chef, says
many cooks do not know how to do so
simple thing as TO boil rice properly.
Bach grain os rice. he says, should be
distinct, whole, but at the same time
tender To accomplish this, small
quantity of rice should be boiled in a
large pot nearly filled with water. Put
it into cold water and little salt and
boil rapidly for 20 or 80 minutes. Test
the grains occasionally, and when a
slight pressure between the thumb and
fcrefnger will crush them they are
done If allowed to boil till the grains
burst or boiled in small quantity of
water. the grains will stick together.
When done, drain off the water and set
the rice on the range, where it will
keep warm. 49, Exchange.

Hay Crops on Ice.

Farmers who live in the vicinity OF
Muskcgo lake, in southeastern Wiscon-
sin. derive profitable income from
the lake each winter by harvesting
hay on the ice. The shallowness of
the water IN the lake bed causes the
grass growing on the bottom to project
considerably above the surface, and
when the Ice forms the hay can be
cut with great ease, though 1t cannot
be got at the rest Of the year on ac
