Guilty by Offering to have the. corn ground
for me in her own mill, and gladly ac-
cepted the other. Candidas mill, like
those seen turnout the interior Of the Is
land, differs little from the mills used in
Bible times,
1t consists Of two stones, resembling
grindstones, each a foot or more In diam

ness, the upper and neither millstones,'
of the Scriptures. The lower stone, which
rests on the floor, has its upper surface
slightly followed, and into this concavity
fits the convexity Of the upper stone Thru
the center of the upper stone Is q hole.
thru which the corn passes down to the
grinding surface between the stones. Near
the outer rim is another hole for the end
OF the handle-a pole seven or eight feet
long. with It's upper end slipped into q
loop fastened to beam above. Occasion
ally this pole is replaced by short handle
only six or eight inches long, as In the
mill used two or thre thousand years ago
The women or children, who do the

the corn or rice into the central opening
as they rotate the upper stone, the fine

amount OF pressure. the rate Of rotation
or the number Of times 1t Is passed thru

from between the stones. Travelling along

sound Of the grinding can often b.
heard. It Is slow work and tiresome

is always fresh. They grind the rice II

PORTO RIcAN WAYS
American Missionary.

The Porto Rican stove is especially in
teresting. In shape it Is something like a
carpenters bench, about two feet wide,
three feet long and as high as an ordinary
table. The outside frame is Of wood. and
when the kitchen Is being freshly painted
the stove must not be neglected. The top
and inside are made Of bricks and cement
SO arranged as to leave an opening run
ming from end to end below the hreplacss
for a draught. Along the top and at reg
ular intervals are four iron fireplaces, five
inches square and four inches deep SO set
into the stove that the tops are on level
with the top of the stove. A maid who
often neglects one fire would feel over
burdened with the care Of these four sep
arate fires at the same time, as is neces
sary with these stoves. The American
housewife who prefers to have her food
baked, use gasolene oven over one
of these fires, and the result is quite sat

Candida, our negro cook, has finished her
days work and has found her way down
the hill along the steep, narrow path that

she wishes to prepare an evening meal
for hungry children she will bring out from
the corner Of the room an empty oil can
which has been given her by the mission
ary. and which has been fitted UP by the
tinsmith with a CRATE near the top and an
opening below for a draught.
The making of the stove has cost he,
20 cents, and she possesses better OUTFIT
for housekeeping than many Of her neigh
bors. The writer had one Of these stoves
made for her own use. and. as it can be
easily carried about, it is very convenient
Many times she has sat on low bench
and popped corn over the Goals in the oil
can stove, while one or more wondering
natives stood around seeing the operation
for the first time, and afterward some o.
them would try to pop their own corn
Charcoal Is the fuel used In these stoves
but many of the poor people too poor t.

wood and sticks which can be picked up.

At recent farmers institute in nli-

Of Illinois presented the subject Of Nuts
as Food" They demonstrated nut loaf
according to the above recipe, to take
the place of a roast beef. 1t was suff-

cents, and was richer than roast Of

more. The idea put forward was not to

to provide substitute that could be used
