Household Notes.

A GOOD filing for plain layer cake,
which is to be eaten while fresh, is made
by grating one large tart apple, one
lemon grated and the juice squeezed
out, one egg aud one cup OF sugar; let
this boil for five minutes; stir It con-
stantlv.
GINGER biscuits, an agreeable varia-
ton of ginger cookies, are made of one
pound of flour, half pound of butter,
half q pound of sugar, two eggs, Two
heaping tablespoonfuls of ginger; two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder; mix
thoroughly and mould into small bis
cults; bake in q quick oven. A little
salt is required unless the butter is very
salt
WHIPPED CREAM pie is delicacy to
be appreciated needs but to be eaten.
Make a crust OF moderate richness:
line deep tin with it; bake quickly in
a hot oven; when done spread it with
a layer of Jelly or jam; first thin layer !;
then whip one teacupful of sweet cream
until i is as light as possible; sweeten
with powdered sugar and flavor with
vanilla; spread over the Jelly or Jam !;
set the cream where it will get very
cold before whipping.
a NICE dish for breakfast is made this
way; Take some slices of cold beef or
lamb, season them with pepper and salt
and broil them; take some raw potatoes
and after taking off the skins pare them
or slice them as you would pare an
apple; dip these thin parings into thin
batter made of flour and milk, then fry
them a delicate brown in a good liberal
allowance of very hot lard. This is
served on a platter, the meat put on
first and the potatoes laid over it.

Origin of the Habeas Corpus.

New York Cor. Troy Times.I
AS the public has been deeply inter
ested in obtaining correct election re-
turns, it may be mentioned in this con-
nection that Great Britain owes the
habeas corpus act 10 an adrOit fraud.
The reader must not suppose that [ am
advocating or excusing such things, my
object being merely to mention a strange
historic fact. The privilege of habeas
corpus is contained in Magma Charta,
but its operations had been nullifed by
royal authority, and this was one OF the
causes which led to the civil war IN
which Cromwell reached distinction. In
1914 the House of Commons passed
bill fully defining the nature and power
of habeas corpus, but the House of
Lords opposed ii, and yet it was event
ually carried in the aforementioned
manner. In the final vote in that body
the yeas were 81 and the nays 55-in all
112; whereas the journal shows that the
whole attendance at that time was not
more than 100. The discrepancy IS ex-
planned IN the following manner: Lord
Gray, who was one of the tellers, IA
vored the bill, and as very corpulent
nobleman voted Gray exclaimed: You
ought TO pass for five" The other teller
did not Tin the confusion of the moment)
notice this, spd the fraud escaped de-
lection. The bill to which humanity is
so deeply indebted thus entered exist
ence, and / need hardly add that the
writ of habeas corpus as it exists in
America Is close copy of the bill which
was enacted in the above mentioned
manner.

Feeding Norn-Stalks.

One of the most extensive sources OF
waste among farmers is the mismanage,
ment of corn-fodder. The annual loss
IN the country at large amounts to many
millions. The value of stalks is injured
IN the first place by exposure TO rains,
and if the shocks are carelessly made
and become Frustrated, they are soon
rendered of no value whatever as food.
In passing through the country and OBJ
serving the condition of most of the
corn fodder, safe average estimate has
placed the loss by needless exposure to
at least one-third, and frequently at
more than one-half the value of we'll
kept or uninjured stalks. In those
regions OF the country where the corn is
left standing and not cut or secured in
shock, exposure to all kinds of weather
soon reduces their value and spOils
them. A still greater waste results
from the common practice of feeding the
stalks whole. The cows eat off the
leaves and leave nearly all the rest IN
touched, which, when mixed through
the manure, renders it unfit for han
ding and spreading until rotted by sew
eral months exposure in the manure
heap. Taken altogether, it is safe to
say that not more than one-quarter of
the best value of the corn-stalks is OBJ
tanned by the average farmer. Assum-
ing that their value when uniniured Is
at least one-ffth that of the corn. and
the average corn crop to be 100000
OOO bushels in the whole country, then
the actual loss from the imperfect man
agement OF the fodder would be equal
to the value of 225,000,000 bushels, or
about 100000, 000annually to the farm
ers of the country at large Country
Gentleman.

Pleasure in Fruit Cultivation.

There IS pleasure in the cultivation
of fruit. There is no branch of agri-
culture which is a more fertile source OF
enjoyment. Our fruit growers live in
an atmosphere which is deliciously per-
fumed, and man does not watch the
growth of his child with more unuuali-
fed pleasure than the fruit grower
watches the growth of his plant or tree,
ard the development and ripening of the
fruit; and the pomologist and the
writer upon the cultivation OF fruit
never tire of dilating upon the pleasure
experienced in fruit growing. But
many people get wrong impression
from this. They seem to think that
pleasure and work are not compatible
They imagine that pleasure in the or
chard or the garden means ease, and even
indolent ease. Sometimes thew go so far
as to think when bad health has wholly
untitled them for any other employ
ment, fruit culture is precisely the
thing for them to enter upon. Now,
whoever thinks that there is nothing
to do in this business but to get under
tree and sleep until the harvest comes,
will find that they are woefully mis-
taken, if they ever try 1t. Fruit grow
ing and gardening are hard work, and
it is work of the brain as well as the
hands. There are two things, one of
which the seeker after easy jobs will
find conspicuous in his experience; ne
will either never find such Job or he
will never amount to anything. We do
not know of anything that has been the
subject of more exhausting thought or
harder manual labor than fruit culture.
Our great genealogical advancement in
this country has been the result of this
mental and physical toll. Success in
the business requires a very intimate
acquaintance with some of the most
perplexing sciences, and almost every
year the fruit grower runs amuck of
entirely new difficulties which he must
surmount with study and perseverine
toll.
The reason that pomologists find
pleasure in their avocation is largely
because they love to labor. They are
satisfied with the rewards of their labor.
and so toll on patiently, the limbs often
being weary and the head often aching.
Neither the orchard nor the garden is
any place for lazy man, and neither is
it place for sick man, if regard for
the interests of the orchard or garden
are thought of. The garden or orchard
will benefit the invalid, but the invalid
will not benefit either of them. 1t is
far better for such person to engage
in general farming, for they cannot
stand the strain which profitable fruit
culture requires. 1t is true that after
an orchard once gets start, and comes
into bearing condition, the labor is

A Ping on the Stage.

From the q veland plaindealer.l
A comical piece Of business" intro
duced into Fra Diavolo" as the Euclid
Avenue Opera House last evening was
Lord Rocburg NJ. Barnabee) coming
on the stage in the first act loaded down
with Lady Pamela S Miss Ulmar'sl bag
gage, the most noticeable part of which
was pug-dog in shawl-strap. In the
last act, when nearly all the members of
the company were Oh the stage putting
their minds to a grand chorus, this
dlminutlve beast emerged from the left
front, where the manipulation of lights
has his throne, and started on a Jog
across the stage, amid general litter in
the audience and to the dismay of the
players. Then changing its mind, the
little brute went logging about between
the feet of the performers, running in
and out OF the semiclrcle of singers,
whose mouths were pouring forth music
but whose eyes were furtively watching
the pup. Lady Pamela staccatoed a
note in futile effort to catch the Great
ure. Then Lord Rocburg made for
tissimo dive. Next a chorus girl assayed
to entice it to her arms and another
made sudden grab for it. By this time
pug had invaded the ranks of the men in
the rear, who one after another tried to
snatch it up. Returning to the line of
girls, the provoking creature threaded
its way between shrinking feet, quickly
jumping out of reach at each successive
attempt to catch it, until it had worked
its way to the right front, when, conf,
cally wagging its tail, it made its exit
amid applause. He refused an encores
