it is probable that few occidental
cooks wbo prepare rice In various
forme for diet are aware that In dls-
curdlug tbe water in which it is boiled
they are wasting what ia regarded by
tbe orleutal as tbe most nutritious part
of tlie f«xxl. This fact waa curiously
proved some years siuce when a de
tachment of Europeans and native
troops In India found themselves be
leaguered in a fort with insufficient ra
tions, eteu of rice, to enable them to
hol«l out until a force could march to
their relief.
It waa when tbe offic-re were seri
ously deluitlug this problem that tbe
natlv«-a approached them with what
was regarded as a curious solution of
tbe difficulty. If, proponed tbe latter,
tlie Euro|x-ana took all the rice, they,
the natives, would be quite content
w ith the water in which it wus boiled.
The suggestion, in place of any better,
waa adopted, when it was remarked
that while tlie Europeans found it dif
ficult to maintain tbeir strength on full
rations of rice the natives lost none of
their stamina by several weeks’ diet on
the water. When the proposal was
made, the action of the natives was
praise«! as one of great devotion to
their superiors, but tbe sentiment was
somewhat mollified when tbe discov
ery was made that tbe natives were
quite aware that tho principal nourish
ment lay in tbe water.
Since that time Europeans in tbe ori
ent, following tbe custom of the na
tives, have given rice water to pa
tients. particularly in cases of cholera,
as a last resort when no other food can
be retaine«l in the stomach and usually
with good results. But the natives al
ways value this water so highly that it
Is never thrown away.
In fact, it would surprise many cooks
to discover how mueb may be done
with this apparently worthless stock.
If the rice Is c«x>ked in the oriental
fashion—that Is. boiled only so long
that each grain conies out of the pan
separate and not as a sodden mass—
tbe water when strained off and per
mitted to c«sil will become a jelly ap
proaching the «-onsistency of blanc
mange. To suit the «xicldental palate
the water should be flavored with an
extract or otherwise the Jelly may
have rather an Insipid taste.

Tlie steamboat man said he would

Trout are cauulbals, and It is a m«x>t
question whether In some waters large
trout should not be systematically de
stroyed. Dartmoor fishermen are in
favor of killing them. They aay that
fish In their streams of *ue pound to
two pouuds weight are hardly ever
caught by ordinary means and live en-
tirely on their own brethren. A two

sible for tbe death of several stones’

K
LAW POINTS.
A contract made with a firm Is In Its
legal effect one made with each mem
her of tbe firm (81 Mo. App. Rep. 337).
In order to maintain an action for
breach of an express warranty one
must establish that tbe warranty was
relied ou (58 N. E. Rep. 1080).
That persons may be liable as part
ners to third persons It is not nreessa-
ry that they aliali be strictly partners
ns between themselves (59 N. E. Rep.
5091.
Though a contract is signed in the
name of an individual, It may be
shown that it was executed by a firm
using such individual name as a firm
name'(59 N. E. 5t>9)
A partner cannot give a chattel mort
gage upon bis Interest In a firm's assets
to B»»cure an Individual debt as against
the claims of creditors of tbe partner
ship (00 8. W. Rep. 1055).
A creditor may lawfully receive se
curity from an insolvtnt debtor, but it
is not permissible to do so for the pur
pose and with the Intention of defraud
ing other creditors (85 N. W. Rep. 75).
Tbe measure of damagt-s for refusal
to receive pttrehas«*! goods is the dif
ference between the contract price and
tbo market price at tbe place of deliv
ery or cost of return (84 Mo. App. Rep.
67).
Where a written contract has been
made by tbe express direction of a
(tarty aud for bls benefit such party
will be bound by it although he has
not himself signed it (91 Ill. App. Rep.
230).
The Polka.
The polka is the natural dance for
the feet of the people. Take In evidence
its origin. A Bohemian |>easant girl
was seen dancing "out of her own
bead." extemporizing from the sheer
joy of her heart song, tune and steps.
This she did on a Sunday afternoon in
Elbelelnitz. and an artist, one Josef
Neruda, wbo spied her, made a note of
all be saw. The people of the town
adopted the danre ami called it tlie
pulka, half step. In 1835 it reached
Prague and Vienna In 1S40; thenre it
spread rapidly through Europe. When
M. Cellarlus introduced it to the Pari
sians. we bear that all else gave way
before "the all absorbing pursuit, the
polka, which embraces in Its qualities
the intimacy of the waltz with the vi
vacity of tbe Irish Jig.”—Cassell's Mag
azine.
The Horse aag the Staae.
Once upon a time in a xietodramatlc
theatrical performance tbe leading man
took n fiery, untamed steed on tlie
stage. After tbe horse beard some of
the lines deliver«! by several of the
actors be began kicking the flats and
wings to pieces, sending them up
among tbe files.
“Help. be!p!” cried the leading man.
"Nay. nay!” answered the manager.
“Tbe horse shows great discernment.
He Is trying to elevate tlie stage.”

Save the Baby.
The mortality among
babies during the
thiee teething year« is something frightful.
The census of l'xiu shows that about one in
every seven succumbs.
The cause
Is
apparent.
With
baby's
bones hardening, the fontanel (opening In tbe
skull) closing up and its teeth forming, all
these coming at once create a demand for
bone material that nearly half the little
systems are deficient In.
The result Is
I eevlshness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar
rhoea, brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that
prove terribly fatal. The deaths in moo under
three years were 304.088, to say nothing of
th«« vast number outside the big cities that
were not reported, and thia In the Unit«*!
States alone.
When baby begins to sweat, worry or cry
out in sleep don't wait, and the need is
neither medicine nor narcotics
What the
little sjstem is crying out for is mote bone
material.

of babies.

2034 Washington St.,
San Franctaco, June 2. 1002.
Gentlemen—I am prescribing your fiM»d in
the multitude of baby ».roubles due to im
peded dentition.
A larg- percentage of In
fantile Ills and fatalities are the result of
slow teething. Your food supplier what the
deficient system denmnds. and I have had
surprising success with
¿n scores of cases
this diet, given with their -egular food, has
not failed to check the infantile distresses.
Several of the more serious rases would, 1
(eel sure, have been fatal without It. It can-
net be too quickly brought to the attention
of the mothers of the country. It is an ab
solute necessity.
L. C. MENDEL, M. D.
Petaluma, Cal., September 1, 1902.
Dear Sirs—I have Just tried the teething
(ood in two cases and In both It was a sue
<ess
One wh « a very serious case, so criti
cal that it wus brought to me from another
city for treatment. Fatal results were feared.
In three days the baby ceased worrying and
commenced eating and Is now well. Its action
in this case was remarkable. I would ad
vise you to put It In every drug store in this
city. Yours,
I. M l’BOCTOH, M. D.
Sweetman's Teething Food will carry baby
saiely and comfortably through the most dan
gerous period of child life. It renders lanc
ing of the gums unnecessary. It is the safest
plan and a blessing to the baby to not wait
for symptoms but to commence giving it tbe
fourth or fifth month.
Then all the teeth
will come healthfully, without pain, dis
tress or lancing. It is an auxiliary to their
regular diet and easily taken. Price 50 cents

A CARELESS CONSUL?
Th* War Bret Harte Came to Loa,
Hi» Position at Glaacow.
When Bret Harte was consul at Glas
gow, lie was seldom to be found in that
city, as be spent most of bls time in tbe
Ixtndon drawing rooms, where he was
a general favorite, and delegated tbe
consular business to assistants. One
day while making one of his rare vis
its to Glasgow be scraped acquaintance
with a stranger on tbe train. Each
seemed fascinated by tbe other’s per
sonality, and time passed quickly. At
last they reached the outskirts of a
large city.
"What place is this?" Inquired tbe
stra nger.
"I haven’t the slightest Idea,” replied
Harte, after looking out of the window.
A few minutes later tbe railway
guard opened the door of tbe compart
ment and announced tbut they bad ar
rived at Glasgow.
When Harte showed up at tbe con
sulate tbe next morning, the first per
