COOKING APPLEs.-The great English
physical Sydenham, says the Rural Home
allowed no otner ailments to his patients in
the febrile stages of qunsy, erysipelas, and
smallpox than could be found in boiled ap-
pies. There are great many ways OF using
apples for food. and doubtless some novel
ways yet to be discovered The French, who
excel in culinary matters, are said to have
365 ways of cooking an egg VIII, should
not similar enterprise be shown in regard
to the apple? An estimable lady of my ac-
quaintarce makes some very palatable dishes
and desserts 10 this way: Apples OF uniform
size are selected, and simply wiped and cored.
This last operation is quickly performed by
punching them through the middle with an
apple corer, thus removing the stem, seeds, land
tougher parts, and making an opening for the
introduction of sugar in the cooking opera
ton which follows. After dipping them in
water they are placed in any deep pan or
bak ng dish, ana sprnkled with sugar, about
a teaspoonful to each apple, and teacuptul of
water turned on arom them. They are
then bake3 with sl' W, steady fire till soft
when they should be removed fro n the bak-
ing pans for cooling and the tabe. When
served With cream this is dish fit for the
queen. E7ery part of the apple can be eaten
the sugar having neutraliZed the acidities in
the fruit znd the cooking making tender the
skin. It is capital substitute for strawber-
ries There is another very good way of
treating sweet apples. Stew them in por
celain kettle, with just enough molass and
and wafer to prevent their burning on, till
cooked through, and thei transfer them to
the oven with all the liquid residnum, to dry
and br WI. This gives baked apple, half
iellied, delicious in flavor and moisture, that
anv one CAR love. Sweet pickles, by some
considered superior to the old-tashioned APP
pie sarce. are made by partly baking sweet
apples and then saturating them in pickle
of vinegar, sugar ard spices. This is easier
to make than apple saLce, which must be
smothered in boiled cider.

INDIAN CORN FOR HoRsEs.-In the
course of the evidence given before the Sc
lect Parliamentary Committee on horses,
lately published, we observe that Mr.. Church,
general manager aid secretary OF the Lon
don General Omnibus Company, spoke very
highly of the value of Indian cCrn tor feeding
horses. He stated that the company which
he superintends have altogether discarded
oats as forage Tor horses. ''These animals
are fed entirely on maize and chat, each
horse receiving as its daily ration about sew
enteen pounds of the former and ten pounds
Of the latter. The MAJ re is just broken
sufficiently to enable the horses to eat it
without difficulty, and they thrive better on
this fodder. than they ever did upon oats.
On the ground Of economy, also maize is
preferable to oats as forage, its price being
much lower, and the saving effected being
about IS. or As. quarter. These facts, Mr.
Church vert on to observe, have long been
known to uany owners of horses, but gen.
t'emen With private stables find great diff
Guilty in substituting bruised maize and chat
for the old fashioned forage of oats and
trusses ofhsy. Coachmen and grain !eaers
resolutely oppose tn, innovation, for TIE req
son that it enables the owners OF norses ~
exercise control over supplies ior 'nen
stables, and prevent waste and fraud"

JOKING ON A SOLEMN SUBJECT.-What
can we say of a humor that stalks amid pes
tilence-ofa levity that feeds upon calamity
The Shreveport (La.) Times relates, with
every appearance of enjoyment, series of
anecdotes founded on the yellow fever at that
place, at the same Time stating in mitigation,
that The ravages of the disease have been
Dallas, Texas, and registered at the hotel as
from Shreveport. No sooner had he done so
than a man looked at the book, then at him,
stealtbily made as wide a circuit around him
as The wall would permit, and, reaching the
door, sprang with the agility of cat into the
street. This person. told somebody there was
a man at the botei from Shreveport, and the
somebody hair rose straight up on his head,
and he went running down the street at the
next corner he told another somebody there
was sick man from Shreveport at TIE hotel;
at the neg. corner it was r ported there was
uian from Shreveport at the hotel with
black vo(1at; then news spread that there
Was one Shsevenort man at the hotel dead,
and two wtth yellow fever; and, finally, the
city was thrown into CONSERVATION by the in
telligenee that there were three n en- from
Shreveport at the hotel, dead as heirngs, and
ten Others dead of the yellow fever Tue ho
tel was virtually abandoned, and the Shreve-
port man had all the room and as ma, Y beds
as he wanted. The next day the excitement
reached a climax. A body OF policeman and
citizens built a'huge fire on the railway track
and awaited ierociously the approach of the
train iron, the plague smitten city. AS the
train stopped the citizens flourished their six
shooters and mildly but determnedly inform
ed the engineer and conductor that it should
approach no nearer Dallas and remonstrance
was in vain until the NAL agent, minion of
desnot'c government, said something about
$500 fines when the death spreading messen-
ger was permitted to continue its journey.
1t is evident from this that Dallas is possessed
of resonte citizeps.-men who mean business
every time-men who will not be tr1ed with
even by Yellow Jack.

PERSONAL JOURNALISM IN AMERICA
Henry Watterson is recorded as having
spoken as follows to Emily Faithful: 1--WE

journalism; it is an apperdage TO our C, ndi-
ton as well as a result OF a character. Those
who read newspaper arr pretty sure 10 find

bic escape; the mans simple conmgs in and

very well knIwn, aud hav.ng himself charged

Journalist, and l confess that, considering
the case from this standpoint, | am unable
to see how men like Marnle, Dana Bowes,

GOLD MINING IN FAUQUlER CoUSri.-'Ne
are glad to hear that the gold mlp'ng interest
in our county is looking up. we have among
US four California mining nlen, all experienced
minors. They have shown their confidence IN
the value of the gold lodges of our county by
purchasing and they propose going immediately
10 work Mr. William Ridwcll, a weaty gen
telnan who graduated in the mining school at
IIcidlcburg, will send next week ten tons OF
ore from the Kelley Niue in which he has pur'
chased large interest to + gland lie wishes
10 see how near they can work it there to the
ASSAY value. This will yield probably from 500
to s 10 to the ton. MIR. Fawcett, another ex-
pcriencel miner from the Pacific slope, as we
understand, is doing remarkably well. Mr..
Stow a practical assayist, who has had large
cxpcrieuce in the Colorado mines is 50 convlnc-
ed of the success of The gold mines OF Fauquler
that he proposes putting up reduction works
for the accommodation of the adjoining miners
at an expense of 81 900. Dr. Weaver sclen-
ti6c analytical chemist in partnership with DR..
Morse who owns some mines iu the Julian dis
trict San Diego, Co., are about purchasing the
Culpeper ledge ou the Rapidan and lntend
going Immediately to work with ten stamp
mill. All these gentleman unite IN the belief
that the i'll success OF our miner has been due
to the fact that the quartz and ores, have been
hitherto only worked by the open mill process,
and that from one half to two thirds OF the
gold has been thrown away. The colonization
process now so extensively in use III California
aud Nevada will save this great waste and will
probably make the mines very remuncratlrc. -
