HoM to Cook Rice.

Few housewives understand how to
cook rice so that 1t puffs into a snowy
mass, each kernel distinct. have
found way. First wash It thor
oughly through several cold waters,
rubbing the kernels between the
hands. This is to remove all the
loose flour on the outside of the
grains. After the water runs clear,
turn the rice into a colander, and
drain; then put 1t into stewpan, al
lowing one quart of boiling water to
cup of washed rice. Add tea
spoonful of salt, and allow 1t to come
to a boil. Cook steadily for twenty
minutes, lifting the rice occasionally
with fork to prevent its sticking.
Shake the kettle also for the same
purpose, but never stir or mash with
a spoon. Take it IRON the fire, pour
off the water If any is left, and place
1t on the back of the stove, in the
oven, or even over pot of hot water
until it finishes swelling. Cooked in
this way you will find the rice plump,
light and white, each grain distinct
and separate.-M. N, in Harper's
BaZar

Novel English Entertainment.

A new form of entertainment which
has been very popular in London this
season is known as "wallhower balls. +"
1t provides games iand competitions
for pretty dancers who, OWNS to the
dearth Of men, are obliged to sit out
for portion of the evening.
The old term of "wallfower" has
lost its original Significance of dis
grace, the manager of an entertain
ment bureau" said yesterday. Girls
are we'll aware nowadays that that 1t
is very improbable that their pro-
grams will be filed, and the large ma
jority of dancing girls over dancing
men makes the position of the hostess
a difficult one.
An energetic society hostess who
was troubled last season by noticing
number of charming girls standing
around her hospitable ballroom, has
organized q series of "wallhower
balls" for the early spring.
The ballroom, as usual, will be de-
voted to dancing. There will be a
music room, where the guests who are
fond Of good music can enjoy quarter
of an hours concerts during the even
ing.
A palmist and crystal gazer will

Lady Ballet Dancer.

Lady Constance has been attending
the classes of Nine. Cavalazzi-Mapel-
son, the famous mistress of the bal
let in Coveht Garden, and, donning
the usual costume, has been initiated
into the mysteries of the profession.
Lady Constance is said to have a per-
feet genius for the art, and II she
cared to devote the time to 1t she
might become one of the most ex-
quisite exponents Of ballet dancing
ever seen. Unconventional to de-

marriage in 1904 Lady Constance
spent many months shooting in the
Rockies, where, absolutely alone ex-

Women at the Theatre.

At the theatre, perhaps more than
at any other public place, people are
conspicuous for lack of consideration
for others. By coming in late and
obliging others to gather up their be-
longings and rise to allow them to
pass, they often cause their neigh
bors to lose several lines Of the play.
Sometimes they lengthen the annoy
ance by standing before their seats
while they remove wraps, etc., thus
completely eclipsing the view of the
stage for those behind. II is a much
more convenient plan to check coats
before going to seats. Hats may be
checked also; If not, they should be
removed Immediately after seating
oneself. OF course, II one is very

Care of Sheep.

No farmer should keep sheep be-
cause they are scavengers and can
pick off large share of their food
from scanty herbage. Such sheep
must be active to travel over large
spaces in order to find subsistence.
Success is assured only when the far
mer is willing to use breeds that give
large carcasses and which respond
quickly to care and attention. 1t is
only the labor, after all, that makes
profit, but labor must be bestowed
on the best to be had. To expect
sheep to pay without the investment
of labor is to sacrifice profits.-The

lamps that are not in daily use should

The wick should be soft and COM
pletely fill the space for it, but with
out crowding.
A lamp should be neither suddenly
cooled, nor exposed to draught. In
extingulshing the flame the wick
should be first turned down, and then
a sharp, quick puff blown across and

Apply Manure Often,

"A little manure applied often
bears just the same relation to the
benefit of our land and crops as mois-
ture applied at intervals throughout
the year. We would not want a del
uge of water once year and moth
ing between times. And the point
of this is that to use the manure in
a way so as to get the most benefit
out of it we must spread it as fast as
1t is made practically throughout the
year to our growing crops and hay
land. There Is always some part of
our land that needs an occasional ap-
plication of manure. l believe that
every reader of The Epitomist will
support me in the statement that ma
nure applied to the land as quickly
as made is worth at least six times
as much in increasing crops as that
which has lain in the barnyard until
all the plant food has been leached
and burned out of it, and yet it takes
Just as much time and labor to dis
tribute this almost worthless stuff as
1t does to haul 1t at its best. Let's
apply the manure just as soon as Il
is made, If possible. It's our gain.-

THE RESULT IN TENNESSEE.

BY a majority of $1,000 votes
Tennessee Democrats have rejected
prohibition as the remedy for existing
evils in the liquor traffic. The issue
was narrowed TO a choice betwee,
state wide prohibition and local OPP
ton. On the side of the existing local
option law, to which Governor Pat
terson stands pledged, was thrown the
weight of the liquor interests of the
state. How much local issues and
factionalism entered into the situa-
ton can not be accurately estimated;
but the thoroughness of the joint
canvass, the widespread discussion Of
the prohibition question in the news
papers and the arranging of forces in
the contest probably eliminated other
factors or reduced them to practical
unimportance.
Now, what does the result mean?
Optimistic liquor men may be dis
posed TO look on 1t as rebuke to the
anti-saloon league and an evidence of
the waning prohibition sentiment
We shall grant them this sign Of
hope; il may mean a suspension of
judgment, or hesitancy on the part
of men, who recognize evil in the
traffic, 10 plunge into the flood of pro-
hibition. If so, it is up to the Model
License league to make good before
another such campaign is successful.
The Model License league has ac-
knowledged the menace of the dive
and leading wholesale men have
pledged themselves to put the saloon
business on higher level.
They have been taken at their
word, both as to the existing status
of the saloon and their promise for
the future. BY reforming the saloon
they can stay this move of prohibition
by merely keeping their promise.
But let them not consider the fight
won because Tennessee is pausing.
The Anti-Saloon league is not dis
couraged-not hesitating In pop
ular primary Saturday 10000 more
Democrats favored leaving the liquor
question to each community for itself
instead of handling 1t as a state. Com
munities that recently voted dry
supported local option as against pro-
hibition. The sentiment may be
against the saloon, but divided as to
the method of Graduating. IL the
saloon men ever listened to friendly
voice, let them beware of offending
that law and order element I, at
baked at prohibition in Tennessee
last Saturday.
