COOKS MUCH RICE AT ONCE
Housekeeper Recommends Her Way as Time Saving and Making for
 Economy.

In winter, owing to the low tenn. perature, I cook a large supply of rice at one time, as much as four cupfuls. The wholesale cooking saves fuel and enables me to have a con stant supply on hand, which I use in the following way.
 Some use as a side dish with meat instead of potatoes, for find it is cheaper and more nourishing, pound for pound being in addition much easier to prepare. While the rice is still hot, line ring mold with about one cupful of it. and set away to shape and cool. At the same time, set aside in a small pan enough for a small pudding on the fol. lowing day and another portion beat with eggs and at once shape as rice cakes for breakfast Sometimes save portion to be used with cro- quettes. serve the ring Of rice with leftoyers of any kind of meat. heated with warm, rich gravy, filled into the center Of the ring, which makes substantial second meal. Sometimes combine it with a cheese sauce.-Ex- change

 The running messenger in Europe was succeeded by the mounted mes senger. and as civilization progressed systems of couriers were established, which slowly evolved into he mod. ern system of posts
