ce Pudding.=--Wash four ounces of rice, (cost three cents,)
through two waters, put it into a baking dish with three ounces of
sugar, and a teaspoonful of flavoring, (cost three cents,) pour in one
quart and a pint of milk, (cost twelve cents,) and put it into a
moderate oven to bake an hour and a half, or until it is of a creamy

pound of Zante currants, (cost three cents,) stone the same quantity of
raisins, (cost three cents,) and chop an equal amount of suet, (cost two
cents;) mix them with eight ounces of stale bread, (cost three cents,)
three tablespoonfuls of molasses, half a pint of milk, and a teaspoonful
each of spice, salt, and baking powder, (cost four cents.) Put these
ingredients into a mould which has been well buttered and floured, and

and cost about fifteen cents.

of sugar and half the yellow rind of a lemon, (cost three cents;)
