THE END,

In Binghamton, last summer, pair Of
Baltimore orioles built their hanging
nest in tree opposite tinsmith's. The
limb to which the nest was suspended re.
Gently blew down, and the nest is now
preserved in evidence of the remarkable
skill and instinct of these birds, for the
nest was found securely wired to the
branch with pieces of wire, which had
been picked out of the sweepings of the

DRIED APPLES.-A writer in an ex.
change grows enthusiastic over dried
apples and tells how they should be
cooked: "After the apples are we'll
washed and rinsed in at least two wa
ters, place them in a porcelain kettle or
tin pan; fill the vessel nearly full of
cold water; this, however, must depend
on the size of the vessel and the quality
of the apples. Let them very gradually
come to boiling, keeping them covered
tightly. AS soon as they are boiling
put in as much sugar as you think will
be required. 1 generally use about a
tea cupful to quart of apples. meas
ured before being washed. Keep a
tea-kettle full of boiling water always
ready when you are cooking, and while
the apples are stewing add boiling water
from time to time, as it is needed. Boil
them slowly and steadily until tender,
but net until they seem to shrink up
and turn dark. If you use white or light
brown sugar and don't add spices and
don't mash the apples into an insight
" mass. and have plenty of juice,
with sugar enough to make it rich
but not to deaden the taste of the apple,
and serve up while fresh, you have a
dish good enough for anybody to eat;
and something better than half of the
canned fruit in use. The evaporated
apples are better than the dried. They
should be covered with cold water and
only let simmer ten minutes. They are
not yet in general use and are of high
price. / must not omit to mention that
the juice of nicely stewed dried apples
is delicious beverage for the sick. and
possesses a flavor that Is peculiarly re-
freshing and grateful, especially where
there Is fever"

USE OF OLD NEwsPAPERS.-One Of
our exchanges tells of the following
uses to which newspapers may be put
after furnishing the family with its
share OF reading matter: Old newspa-
pers are useful in many ways. Under
carpets they save wear and keep the
floor warmer by covering cracks. Over
the edge of each step, under stair car
pets, they are almost Indispensable, and
serve better purpose than clumsy car
pet pads. A newspaper folded across
the chest and buttoned under the outer
garments protects the lungs in a long,
channels skin for rnbbinp windows after
they are washed and wiped. Zinc un-

Of the pastor on the evening of January
1st taking with them an offering in
money to aid in the liquidation of a
small debt due on the manse property.
Several hours were spent pleasantly In
social intercourse, during which refresh
ments were served by the hands of the

amount of money realized was three
hundrer and eighty-three dollars, which
reduces the debt to a sum that will be
easily manageable.-Char. Chronicle.

An Editors ValedictOry.

The editor of New York State jour
ual, on retiring from the profession not
long since, embraced the occasion to
give utterance to some sentiments which
are applicable the worlda over among
newspaper readers
Having for nearly seven years been o
weekly visitor at your homes, kindly
sharing the hospitality, and, we hope,
contributing somewhat to the comfort
of tho same. it only remains to shake
hands all around, take an affectionate
and heart breaking farewell, and come
no more, probably, forever.
Good-byeI 1t has been spoken over
the dead lying in their collins. 1t has
been spoken when an occasion was to
roll in between parting hearts but II
never is spoken with such pathos and
JUNCTION as when a country editor, with
the memory of his hard grubbings and
his scanty comforts pressing upon him,
hands his valediotory over to the com
position, puts the stub end of his worn
out pencil into his breeches pocket, and
shufhes his rheumatic legs down stairs
to 60 no more back forever.
1--WE part upon the square," We pro.
claim general amnesty all around. We
retire forgiving our enemies, and shall
haunt those who obstinately refuse to
forgive us. We are bound to be forgiv.
en-.
Farmers, good. bye! You are the dor
sal column of the country editors sub
scription list. It could not stand erect
without your help. May the time soon
come when no mortgage, like great
morass in the centre of pleasant mead
ow, shall obstruct your prosperity. Have
you ever given Us wood Of scrimp pat.
tern and highly perforated cordage p
The act is forgiven. Have you ever
given US butter of most unhallowed
flavor? We hope, after little to for.
give even this.
There is particular class of patrons
whom every departing country editor
remembers with special gratitude. 1t
is the substantial. thoroughly steadfast,
patrons-the men who are never blown
out of favor with him by the light gusts
of ill-wind. They are the men who
treat their bills with thorough profes.
sional honor and promptness. We re-
member all such men in Groton with
downright and uncompromising graft
tude. We count their names with thank.
fulness. They are like the brick walls
which hold this office above the street
floor.
Support the new management. A
country newspaper needs friends, and
cannot afford 10 have enemies. Don't
get mad if something fails to suit, and
stop your patronage. Don't prattle all
over the village about the SHORTCOMINGS
of the editor-co-operate with and en-
courage him. Help him to get news,
and see that he has his share of your
money to do business with. Don't loaf
around his Office and steal his time
Don't give him too much good advice.
He knows more about his business, pro.
badly, than you do. Help, but don't
hinder Again, goodbye!
