It is. therfore, well worth any cook’s while to master the art of preparing it. First of all, a su- perior grade of rice must be selected -the Carolina is the best in the marâ€" ket to~dayâ€"then it must be wash» ed in several cold Waters, and care- fully picked over, after which it should be plunged into unsalted boil- ing water, allowing four quarts of water for each pint of rice. Cover the Whole closely and boil rapidly for twenty minutes. Turn into a colander, and drain well; then stand the colander over a vessel containing a small quantity of boiling water, and steam until the rice is white and dry occasionally stirring lightly The grains should be full and soft, and each one retain its form though twice its orignal size. ST. VITUS DAN DE. MUST BE TREATED THROUGH THE BLOOD AND NERVES. __ One of the Worst Cases on Record Cured Through the Use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. St. ‘Vitus dance is a nervous dis- ease chiefly aifiicting children. There are a number of signs by which I it may be detected such as a twitching of the muscles of the face, shaky hands, or a jerky motion of the arms, a. trembling or a dragging of the legs, irritability and restlessness. St. Vitus dance is caused by disor- dered nerves and bloodâ€"that is why it is always cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The pills fill the veins with pure, rich' red blood, which in turn soothes and braces the nerves, making the sufferer well. Mrs. Lufi- man, Poucher’s Mills, Ont., tells how Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured her daughter, Louise. “I do not think it possible," says Mrs. Luri- man, “that anyone could be afflicted with a, more severe form of St. Vitus dance than that which attacked my daughter. Her arms and legs would twitch .andderk, her face was drawn,.. and finally her left side became numb~ as though paralyzed. Her speech became thick and indistinct and she could neither stand still nor sit down. Two doctors attended her, but gave her no benefit. The last doctor. who attended her told me she would never get better. It was at this discouraging time we decided to give her Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. After taking two boxes we could see an improvement; she could sleep betâ€" ter and the spasms were less severe. From that on she steadily grew betâ€" ter, and was as strong and healthy a girl as you will find anywhere, and she has not had the least symptom of the trouble since.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are the surest cure for St. Vitus dance, hy- steria, neuralgia, nervous exliaus- tion, paralysis, and all the nervous troubles of men, women and childâ€" ren. But you must get the genuine with the full name, “Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People,” on the wrapper around every box. Sold by all medicine dealers or sent post paid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing the Dr. Wilâ€" liams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. and scoop out the inside with a. spoon. Mix 'withf the floury part two or three spoonfuls of thick cream, a. little piece of butter, and a pinch of salt, together with sugar, the yolks and whites of two or three eggs, beaten and added separately. Put this mixture into the hollow potatoes, place them upright side by side in a buttered dish,and bake them in a hot oven. If liked savory instead of potatoes. patties can be made by mixing with the potato flour a little pounded veal and ham, cream, salt, lemon-peel, grated nutâ€" meg, and mushroom catsup, added in suitable proportions. Time to bake, twelve to fifteen minutes. When meat is used, cook them a little longer. â€"-â€"a' HINTS FOR WIVES . Don’t make the evening repast a promptly cure an They may be better than they look.

Men are generous enough, but they like large portions of glory. Be prudent and as thrifty as you can. Men are attracted by ethereal means; but held by material meth- ods. Wise economy, however, re- quires great tact. There is no econâ€" omy in that course which leaves your linens limp, your personality shoddy, or your home conducted on poor- house rations.

The only question is, are we’good enough to persevere with them until we get results? -â€"~ THE FLOORS IN SUMll'EER. Bare floors are preferable to car- pet for the kitchen during the sum- mer months, for they are easier to keep clean. It is a positive rest to one’s eyes to see a room without the dust catchers, ’once considered so ornamental, with only the necessary furniture and bare floors. Keep out the flies with screens, and let the air and sunshine in. Paint or oil the floors, or if they are too rough to look well uncovered, get oil cloth or linoleum, but do not buy a. Woolen carpet for the dining room. A few minutes’ work every few days will suffice to keep them clean and free from dust. Neither linoâ€" leum or oilcloth should be scrubbed with a brush or mopped with hot water. Heat. the water until lukeâ€" warm and dissolve enough Gold Dust in it to make a. good suds. 'Now wash the oilcloth, changing the waâ€" ter frequently as it grows dark. Nothing causes it to grow dull and grimy _ so quickly as washing with insufficient or dirty water. Mop a small place, then rinse with clear water, and wipe dry. Proceed in this way until the floor is clean. Oiled or painted floors are treated in the same way. _...â€"_â€"+.â€"â€"..â€"â€"â€" BABY’ S OWN TABLETS. For Weak Sickly Children During the Hot Weather Months.

Loyal to His Chums, But Never Allows Political Affairs to Intervene. It is often remarked that the King has outlived almost all the intimate friends of his youth and early mid- dle age, writes a London correspon- dent. It is true that the joyous coterie identified with Marlborough House a quarter of a century ago, Lord Carrington, Lord Charles Bere‘sford and Mr. Henry Chaplin are the, only names which occur in public jour-' nals. Lord Blandford (afterwards Duke of_ Marlborough), Lord jAylesford' (“Joe”), Lord Dupplin ("Duppy”), Lord Clonmell ("Ear-lie”), the Comte de Saint Priest, Count Jaracsweski ("Sherry Whiskey”), Colonel Oliver Montagu, Mr. Harry Tyrrwhitt Wilâ€" son, Mr. Augustus Savile, Mr. Chris- topher Sykes, Mr. Andrew Cookerell and others have all paid the great debt of nature. Yet none of the men whose names are quoted reached the Psalmist’s limit of life. Many of them were the juniors of their august companion. Not one of this entourage was enâ€" dowed with the wonderful constituâ€" tion which has enabled the King to resist not only the demands which his exalted rank and station have continuously made upon him, but also the dangers of two serious ill- nesses. To His Majesty’s credit must also be placed his great activity of brain and body, an abstemiousness in the way of “strong waters" which can almost be classed as “emi-teetotalâ€" ism." and an ability to undergo great fatigue without any depression of spirits. These proâ€"eminently healthy habits are in a great degree the reason why the King can be adduced to-day as an admirable example of the “sur- vival of the fittest.” PLEASURE IN SOCIETY. But. while the then heirâ€"apparent took keen pleasure society which naturally around him, he did not neglect culture of statesmen and men of learning. Such were, of course, mostly his seniors in age, and many of them are now but landmarks of a past era, though Lord Spencer, Lord Cadogan, Lord Redesdale and Lord Rosebery are still in the full vigor of years. The entire absence of any sort of political bias was not the least ad-, mirable,,quality shown by Albert Ed- ward Prince of Wales, during his forâ€" ty years of public life before his ac- cession to the throne. He was a frequent visitor at Hatfield and Haâ€" warden, and while Queen Victoria showed, not unreasonably perhaps, marked signs of favor towards the Tory minister, the Versatility of character which marked the. “Grand Old Man" appealed very strongly to the sympathies of the heir-apparent. His relations with Lord Granville and Loyd Spencer were as cordial and constant as those with Lord Beaconsfield and Lord Iddesleigh, while his unswerving regard for the Duke of DeVOnshire has been wholly unafllected by party vicissitudes. But although the Prince never alâ€" lowed himself .to criticize publicly the action of the government of the day, , he. would never suffer his personal friendships to be overshadowed by any political eclipse. When that great South African proconsul, Sir Bartle Frere, was re- called by the Radical party in 1880 the first greeting which he received on landing in England was a grac- ious summons to 'Abergcldie Castle, the Highland home of the Prince and ).
