Dried Apple Pies.

Very many people turn up their noses"
at the bare mention Of dried apple pies. We
are fond of them and believe some of those
who despise them would consider them a
luxury if they could have them properly pre-
pared.
We think the great trouble lies in stewing
the apple. This is our method. Wash the
apple clean. put 1t IN porcelain stew
pan or bright tin pan or basin, pour boil
ing water over it until you think you have
added all the apple will take up in cooking.
Cover the dish closely and place it where it
will commence TO cook Immediately. After
the apple is thoroughly cooked, remove the
cover, mush with spoon and sweeten ina
pie sugar is preierable). Let it cook slowly,
uncovered, for few minutes, taking care not
to burn, and if the apple was tart and well
dried, it will be rich co!ored aud good fla
vored Add little butter and spice and
bake in good crust, and you will have a
pie that will not Ego begging" even if it is
made of dried apple Ed.

for he doth leave us in possession with men,

SPARE THE BRooM--In many families,
carpets are worn out more rapidly by the
INSCRIPTIONS use OF the broom than by any
other means. If the good man of the house,
coming in from the dusty street, chooses in-
stead Of going around to the kitchen door,
to walk straight through the sitting-room,
something like half dozen grayish spots
will mark his footsteps across the carpet.
Up jumps the wife, brings the broom and
vigorously "pursuades" the dust clear out
through the kitchen, perhaps the passage also
finally ejecting it at the outside door,
Returning, she sits down at her sewing, and
soon detects herself scattering few shreds
aud small cuttings on the carpet. These are
too Insignificant for the rag.bag, 50 the broom
is again called into requistion, this time to
do the duty of fingers. Next come in the
little ones with their school-lunch Of crackers
aud gingerbread. OF course crumbs are
dropped upon the carpet, and forth comes
the omuipotent broom. So it goes. have
known a woman to "brush out" room five
times in an afternoon. A great improve
ment to this old fashion is light carpet
brush and small japanned dust pan hung
away in some convenient corner then when
dust or litter calls for removal it can be
taken up on the spot without much oifense to
the carpet, and without the trouble OF drag
ging it through one or two rooms. The
brush should have long handle for those to
whom it is fatigue to stoop. Thread and
bits of cloth and paper should be picked up
by the hand it the carpet is considered worth
preserving as long as possible.

1T WON'T DO TO TRUST THE MEN.
When We learn TO study nature,
When to doubt and when believe,
Give the girls more chance for knowledge,
And the men less to deceive,
When the girls shall be as careful
Who are partners Of their lives,
As the men are choosing women
Whom they mean to make their wives,
When In every school and college,
Physiology is taught
Human natures laws expounded,
Giving food for earnest thought,
When by social Law and custom
Mans dark sins are viewed the same
As are womans, who in falling
Loses honor, friends and name,
When the Eharp-edged sword Of scandal,
And the scornful tongue and pen,
Treat their sins the same AZ womAn's
Then twill do to trust the men.

FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY.



Like the lilies Of the field,
sweetly bursting Into bloom,
Faith, her richest barvests yields,
ChAngeless, fhdeless, 70 the tomb;
Aud with finger lifted high,
Points US upward to the sky.
Like the sunshine after rain,
Shedding forth q softer glow,
Hope relieves the heart ofpain,
Bids the tear-drops cease 10 Cow,
smoothes LIES rough and rugged ways,
And tells Of fairer, brighter days.
Like ralndrops, falling In glad showers,
Refreshing every plant and tree,
Or morning dew upon the flowers,
Is lowly, meek-eyed Charity.
She speaks with gentle, loving voice,
And bids the weary heart rejoice.
Group ofheavsnly graess halr,
Make each heart thy dwelling place.
Priceless gems Of beauty rare,
Shower on US thy matehlsss grace.
Faith and Hope rich treasures arc,
But Charity is greater far.

A Good Substitute for Flower Pots.

These long, sunny afternoons remind US
that spring is close at hand, aud that it is
nearly time to be making preparations for
sowing flower seeds, if we wish them to come
to maturity and accomplish all their mission
before they are ruined by the autumnal
frosts
Many of our tender ANNALS will not bear
transplanting well, and must be sowed where
they will be disturbed as little as possible
when they are planted out. Cheap, services
able boxes for this purpose can be made from
old pasteboard boxes or bits of straw board.
Cut a strip eight inches long, and six inches
deep-divide the length into five equal parts
by cutting into it one and one-half inches.
Fold the ends over each other so that the
narrow strips at the ends will just cover each
other. Take few stitches to hold them to-
gether, and fold the narrow strips over each
other aud fasten. When you wish to remove
plants from the boxes, cut the stitches and
unfold them. Larger boxes can be made in
the same way for some Of the smaller veget-
ables. Ed.

till his little eyes grew weary, then sitting

sang some sweet lullaby song The autumn
passed rapidly away, and just as the little
