Add salt, and when it has boiled for fifteen min- utes set the saucepan uncovered in a moderate oven. In fifteen minutes the water will have completely evaporated and every grain be distinct and fiufry. Not grain will stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Rice cooked this way Is a revelation.

 Action of railroad company as werebouseman: admissibility or eVi- aence.-In an action against raiiroao comnany as a warehouseman, the dis- tance which the plaintiff lives from the depot of the defendant where the goods were stored is irrelevant to any issue involved. and therefore testimony as to such fact Is inadmissible.
