It is frequently substituted for potatoes at the chief meal of theday, bemg more nutritious and much more readily digested. At its present cost it is relatively cheaper than potatoes, oatmeal or grain-gnsts of any kind. In preparing it only just enough cold water should be poured on to pre- vent the rice from burning at the hermatically sealed, and that in turn | bottom of the pot, which should have a close-fitting cover, and with a moderate fire the rice is steamed rather than boiled until it is nearly done ; then the cover is taken off, the surplus steam and m ture to escape, and the snow-white e turns mass of kernels, each te irom the other, and as much superior to the usual soggy mass, as a fine mealy potato is superior to a water-soaked article. Russian Jcewesses. The ‘woman ina party of Rus- sian Jews who arrived at Castle Gar- den this week, attracted 2 great deal of attention from the fact that they all wore wigs. The explana- tion of the circumstance is said to be this: For generations past, when an orthodox Jewish maiden. wedded, she had, prior to the marnage cere- mony, to have all her heir cleanly shaven trom her head, in order that her husband should see her in her least attractive form, so that in after years when the woman was old and decrepit she would not appear tess loveable in the eyes of her husband than she did on the wedding day. Another given reason is that a wom- an whose head is cleanly shaven would not attract attention fom any other man. ie = See ees Now is the time to plant straw- berries, and as we walk past the Store dooms and see the boxes of this luscious truit for sale, but at prices “to rich” for ‘common blood,”’ we! wish we had about half an acre. of them growing in our back yard.

Last fall Mr. Rickner, an old man, died. fore his death he tried to tell his family about some money buried et } the foot of a certain tree, but was too far gone to talk intelligently, and they did not_get the description, and hardly a full meaning of the subject. The incident was talked of, and one ot the neighbors hearing of it, be- gan a search, and, no doubt, tound the money. He went to the Nation and used $2,500 in a purchase, and it is believed he found and dug up the money, as his friends cannot im- agine how he could become pos- sessed of that much money. They also tound a place near a tree that had been recently excavated, with a blaze of a staddle near by, anda marked stick driven into the ground. A prosecution is now talked of. The family of Mr. Rickner knew he had money somewhere, but supposed it A singular case is was in the back. They now know j it must have been buried.
