Every explorer who visits the Aus tralasian Islands discovers a new kind of cassowary, None of these birds possesses any wings to speak of, and their bodies are clothed with dense masses of curious, hoirllke feathers. According to a recent traveler, these feathers are put to a very remarkable use. When a cassowary feels hungry so the legend runs It wades out Into a Stream until only Its head and neck are above, water and spreads out Its long plumes on either side. Numbers of un sophisticated little fishes Immediately mistake, these for a new kind of water weed and nestle confidingly up to the motionless cassowary for. shelter. - Then that artful bird suddenly presses his feathers close against his body, walks ashore and shakes put his prisoners on the bank; so that he hot only enjoys a delightful bath, but ob tams aa excellent meal Into the bar gain. Boiled Rlee. . Thomas Murray, the noted chef, says many cooks do not know how to do so simple a thing as to boil rice properly. Each grain of rice,he says, should be distinct, whole, but at the same time tender. To accomplish this, a small quantity of rice should be boiled in a large pot nearly filled with water. Put it into cold water and a little salt and boil rapidly for 20 or 80 minutes. Test the grains occasionally, and when .a slight pressure between the thumb and forefinger will crush them they are dona- If allowed to boil till the grains burst or boiled in a small quantity of water, the grains will stick together. When done, drain c2 the wstcr end set the rice a the r?r3, w- 3. it' will keep warm. Exchange Hay Crops on Ice. Farmers who live in' the viclr'ty. of .
