A correspondent asks how to make
it. Fill q large kettle full of hard
wood ashes, then fill up with water
and boil until the I've is very strong;
put it one side to settle, then drain
off the lye; return to the kettle, and
when it is boiling hot put in shelled
corn. Keep boiling as fast as posi-
BILE for five or ten minutes, or until
the hull is eaten off. Skim the corn
into colender and pour plenty of
cold water over it, then rinse and
rub it in pan of water, after which
it must be boiled in clear water f or
three or four hours, or until tender.
BE careful not to burn, and put no
salt in it while cooking. Have the
taa-kettle full of boi ing water and
add it to the corn as occasion re-
quires During the last hour let
the water boil away SO that when
done it will be almost dry. Ii may
be eaten with cream or warmed up

Another Rascally Land Scheme in
Texas.
Especial to ST Louis Republican.


DALLAS, Nov. 1--Another scheme
to deceive people abroad in the pur-
chase OF land and alleged city prop
erty has just been discovered in this
state. II is after the style OF the
famous bogus Mineral City scheme
of four or five years ago. The new
fraud is known as Pease River City,
represented as the populous and
prosperous county seat of Harde-
man county. Elegant plats OF the
mythical city ere in circulation. The
originators are Philip Toberman, a
former carpenter of Weatherford, as
prssidenj, and one John L. Ward of
Chicago, ILL.,, as secretary and treas,
urer. No such place as this Peasa
River City is in existence, and Har-
denan county is wild, unsettled,
unorsanized region away on the
Northwest Texas frontier, nearly
800 miles from Dallas, and has not
above n hundred people within its
borders,

Two Patriarchal Apple Trees.

In Skowhegan, Me, are two rus
set apple trees; the Oldest was
planted in 1852. The tree is seven
feet from the ground to the
branches, FIVE in number, oil
OF which are very large and average
thirty-fvo feet in length, covering n
space OF ground sixty-three feet in
diameter. In these branches n play
house for children has been built for
half q century or more. Anywhere
from the ground to the branches it
measures thirteen and half feet.
The tree is moro than four and Il
half feet in diameter, and it has
been good bcarer--from twenty
five to thirty bushels of apples
have been picked from it each year.
But the frost and rain have made n
seam in the branches, and recently
