Hays Of a good Hollsekeeper.-
Mrs. r., one of the most notable
housewives and best cooks in the
State, has a new way of cooking
apples, at least it was new to me,
and will be no doubt to many 9th
ers. She pares the apples and
quarters them, placing them IN a
tin plate with the core side up; If
dried apples a little water is added:
they are then set in the oven, which
is always hot at meal time, and
roasted; when done, they are slid
ON a common plate, and sprinkled
with sugar, to be eaten warm, with
bread and butter and cakes. 1t
would require canned fruit of ex-
ira flavor to tempt me from the
apple-dish, if thus prepared
Strawberries and half-ripe peaches
are not to be talked of in the same
day.

AMUSING INCIDENT.


During the first excitement in
one of the great Northern cities,
after the taking of Fort Sumter,
the vigilance committee were ca
fgerly searching for Secessionists.
One of these committees, consisting
of band of four braves. came to
the office of a certain DIR. B., asking
him why he had not a flag hanging
out, and demanding of him to slow
his colors. The Doctor, an easy
IMAM Of the world, told them, "Gen-
tleincn, if you come to me on bust
ness, or even to pay me friendly
visit, youare welcome at any Of my
leisure hours, but don't talk to me
on political subjects, else l shall
regret having to receive you i'm
politely, and shall eventually very
politely show you the door. =
Whereupon the four braves left him
threatening to return and make the
id Secesher' show his colors.
The next day at the Doctors regu-
lar office hours, a band of eight
came demanding of him to place
the Stars and Stripes over his
office, or something else would be
shown to him. The Doctor, sit
ting in his own easy chair, smoking
his cigar, very coolly replied: sMy
good men, let me state to you al,
once more, what | said to some of
you yesterday, that / will not per-
nit any one to NEEDLE with my
!doings; and more, that when you
persist in troubling me | shall rid
myself of you. Here | am, a man
who has seen battles and faced
death more than once. | do not
| fear death. | have neither wife,
nor child, nor father, mother, or
sister; but am an exile from my
home and want to be a free man,
and before / viii be overpowered
by aInoa | would rather throw
this burning cigar in that keg of
powder you see here under my
desk; and by the Almighty! | will
do it now" The words were
scarcely out Of the Doctors mouth
before the whole band was seen
making their way down stairs as
quick as their pedestals and the
narrow staircase would permit, and
never exhibited their faces there
again. 4 short while after DR..
B. related to visiting friend the
whole affair; and the question be-
ing asked, Doctor, how if the
band had taken your word for
blowing them up, what would
have become of you? Go and ex-
aiming the key" he said. His
friend did SO, and found an empty
keg turned upside down, and on
the bottom about a quarter of a
pound of powder, which, as the
Doctor said, would have answered
more than twice to dispense all the
mobs Of the city.
