A Suggestion.

Mr.. Editor:-In regard to the sad condi-
dlesex item in your last paper, | would like
to make suggestion. Would it not be
well to build a room aboHt fifteen feet
square, with one or two windows on the
sunny side, and furnish small stove, bed :,
chairs, table, etc, near her hut, and tell her
she is welcome to it while she lives; and
build it at once, the first warm day it could
be done, and occasionally have little pro-
vision left there. / hope it will be seen to
at once, and not have her left to starve and
freeze, as Aunt Abigail was, as | feel very
sure, If her history could be known, she has
passed through some severe trial, which has
caused her to wish to be away from all So
ciety. She may have had some experience
similar to a brother and sister that knew
who became religious and joined the church,
and lived such sincere Christian lives, as all
believed who knew them, but after while
seeing so much dishonesty practiced among
the church members with each other, they
became grieved and finally disguised, with
all so-called civilized Christian society, and
they left their own house by the roadside,
and built another in the middle of their
woodland, where they could only have the
society of the birds and squirrels. And
such beautiful prayers and sermons as were
heard from him while he was in his field at
work in his retired home were seldom heard
anywhere. Again, this woman may have
had something of the experience of the old
lady who was being carried -" over the hill
to the poor-house." Let us be human al
ways. ELIZA V. GUERNSEY.

The apple and peach butter, the cider
apple sauce, that used to be part of the
plenishing in every farmers home in IN
diana when I was young, were excellen-
cies which would "carry the trade and
have the widest export if they could be
found at all. Canned fruit and factory
jams poorly supply the place Of these
generous fragrant sauces, which con
tain the richness of the fruit, boiled down
in its native dextrine and sugar. Pray
did you ever taste cider apple sauce
the sweet cider condensed to the thick
ness and color of strained honey, with
clear quarters Of apple and ounce float
ing in it, never cloying food with all
the pleasure and health that food was
meant to have? Doesn't it sound as if
you would like to eat it? Any farmers
family used to have barrels of it stored
for its own use in winter. Now one can
not get gallon of it for love or money.
These things are finer than the finest
preserves made with sugar, as they have
the high natural flavor unspoiled.

APPLE CAKE.-Peel about three
pounds of good cooking apples, take out
the cores, cut them in halves, and boil
them until tender with just enough wa
ter to prevent them sticking to the bot
tom of the pan a copper preserving pan
is the best to do them in. When soft
beat them to pulp in basin then put
them again into the pan with little fine
ly chopped lemon peel, Asyrup should
have been previously prepared in the
following way: For the above quantity
OF apples take two and a quarter pounds
OF white sugar in Jumps, dip each into
water, and then boil them in a sauce pan
until the syrup is thick; skim it well,
and pour it over the apple pulp and lem
on peel, and let all boil together for
nearly half an hour, or until the apples
no longer show a disposition to adhere to
the bottom of the pan; they will then be
done. Dip a mould into cold water and
pour the mixture in; when cold. turn it
out, and serve with custard round it in
the dish. These apple cakes are very
good for desert if made in small moulds
-earthernWare ones are the best. They
should then be put on the dish without
sauce, 1t must not be forgotten that con-
slant stirring will be necessary during
the whole process of boiling the apples
and sugar, both alone and when miyed
together.
POTATO FRrTTERs.-Burst open four
nicely baked potatoes; scoop out the
inside with spoon and mix them with
