Pick and wash a half pound OF rice
and boil 1t gently in one quart Of
water till 1t becomes dry, keeping the
pot we'll covered and not stirring It.
Then take 1t of the fire and spread
1t out to cool on the bottom of an

juicy apples, and take out the cores.
Then fill each cavity with marmalade
or with lemon and sugar. Cover every
apple all over with a thick coating
OF the boiled rice. Tie up each in a
separate cloth and put them into q
pot of cold water. They will require
about an hour and quarter before
they begin to boil. perhaps longer.
Turn them out In large dish, and be
careful in doing so not to break the
dumplings. Serve them with cream
sauce, or with butter, sugar and nut
meg beaten together.

and carriages. In the bargain struck

villages, many of them bringing their

veyances, and making purchases for
the week to come.
There are few regions in the United

the richest waters in the world. Fish,
oysters, clans and for much of the
year aquatic game birds Of many
kinds. to say nothing of the muskrat
sold for food as marsh rabbit" are
amazingly plentiful. while employment
in the industries dependent upon the
tidal waters is almost continuous and
extremely well paid.
