Packing Apples.

"Handle apples as you would handle
eggs" is good advice. Old flour barrels,
unless carefully washed and dried, will
impart musty flavor to the fruit be-
fore midwinter, especially if the air in
the cellar is moist. The first apples
which reput in market barrels should
be "faced." The facing consists in
placing two or three layers on the
lower head with stems down; that is,
with stems pointing towards the head.
Clean, bright apples Of ordinary size
should be selected for this purpose.
The rest of the apples may be poured
into the barrel. This pouring, if prop
erly done, will not injure the apples,
Eggs can be poured. Use g. basket
with swinging handle, one which can
be lowered into the barrel and turned
while there, and hold the apples back
with the hand, 80 that they will not
pour out too rapidly. Two or three
times during the filling shake the bar
rel gently to settle the apples firmly.
Face the upper head in the same man.
ner as the lower one. 1t is desirable
not to head up the barrel at once.
Cover with boards to keep out the
rain, and let the barrel stand open
four or five days. 1t is not, however,
always possible to cover the barrels,
in which case they may be headed up
at once and turned down on their
sides. In this condition they will shed
water.-American Agriculturist.

ard can same as first. The deep Grim
son crab apples are much nicer for
canning or making jelly than any
other.
Apple Jelly-For this purpose
any variety OF sour apple may be
used, but crab apples make much
finer jelly than other kinds. Cut an
piles IN small pieces, without peeling or
cOrlng. Cover with cold water and
stew until soft, then drain through

gently but do not squeeze. Place Juice
on the stove and boil half an hour.
then to four teacupfuls Juice add one
teacupful granulated sugar and boil
ten minutes longer, or until it iellies
when dropped upon a cold plate The
Jelly made with this amount of sugar
is far more palatable than with the
old rule of pound of sugar to a pint
of juice.
Picked Apples-Make syrup
after this rule: Two pounds of sugar
to one quart of vinegar, one teaspoon
tul cloves, two teaspoonfuls cinnamon,
one grated nutmeg. Drop in large ap-
pies peeled, cNred and cut in quarters.
or whole crab apples, taking care that
the syrup cover fruit. Boil until ten
der but not broken, then place in cans
or Jars; boil vinegar twenty minutes
longer and pour over fruit. Peaches.
pears, grapes and other fruit may be
picked after this recipe.
Ounces should be peeled, the par.
ings boiled in water then strained
through sieve, and this used instead
of water in making a syrup for fruit.
Use one teacupful OF sugar to two tea
cupfuls of this liquid. Steam ounces
until a straw will easily pierce them,
then drop into syrup and stew fifteen
minutes. Can the same as apples.
Crab-apple marmalade-Cover ap-
Piles with cold water and stew until
very soft, then press through sieve.
To four teacupfuls apple pulp add one
teacupful sugar, and stew one hour,
stirring often to prevent burning. Put
in cans while hot, or fill Jelly glasses.
This marmaladeis very nice to put be-
tween layer cake, and is also deIic-
ious, relishable sauce to serve with
roast meat or a "boiled dinner"
Apple jam-Peel sour apples, chop
quite fine; to each pound of apples use
three-fourths OF a pound OF sugar. and
the juice and finely cut rind of one
lemon, and for three pounds of apple,
one heaping teaspoonful of ginger.
Stew apples, sugar, lemon and ginger
one hour, then put in cans or glasses
and cover well. Keep in cool, dry
place.
Late pears-Peel pears and cut in
quarters. Prepare syrup in this
proportion: One teacupful sugar to
two teacupfuls of water. If pears are
very hard, stew the same as directed
for canned apples, but if soft and ripe
put directly into the syrup: stew until
well-havored and tender but not brok-
en-, then fill cans after wrapping in q
wet towel. Fasten covers we'll when
cold, tighten again if possible; wrap in
paper and keep in q cool, dry place.

Ancient Cloths.

A carpet merchant of Vienna has a
curious collection of ancient wooden
and linen cloths, including more than
800 specimens. Many of them have
been taken from tombs, and are
stretched on folios of cardboard to
preserve them. Some Of the fragments
are only foot square, but the larger
ones make up an entire Roman toga,
which is said to be the only one in the
world. There are q great many en-
brcidered dresses and deal of knit
ting and crewel work. Double chain
stitch seems to have been as familiar
to the Egyptian seamstresses, sewing
with bone needles, as it is to modern
women. There are some very quaint
and unusual designs in the old collec-
ton of cloths, but there are also some
very common things. 1t is curious to
find that the common blue check pat
tern of our busters and work house
aprons was in general use among the
Egyptians more than thousand
wears ago.

Improving Old Currant Bushes

Two years ago, writes one of our
correspondents from Wisconsin, Sc
cured an old garden. Along one side
rant bushes, the life of which had
been nearly choked out by the grass
in which they stood. The leaves were
covered with worms, and they pre-
sented a sorry appearance. At first |
thought | would dig them up and
plant new ones. An examination of
the roots convinced me that they were
comparatively healthy, and l con-
Guided to cut the tops back, clean out
about them, and see what good culti-
walton would do towards retaining
them. had the ground spaded up,
turning the sod under, and gave the
soil a good top dressing of manure,
digging in a quantity about each
plant. l cut off all the old tops and
waited for developments. Very soon
sprouts made their appearance from
each bunch OF roots, and of these Sc
lected four or five of the best, and
kept all others pinched off during the
season. They made vigorous
growth. / allowed the hens to
run among the bushes, and
they proved better than hellebore In
keeping the worms away. That fall l

and this spring l dug in about them,
and have given the ground among the
bushes a liberal coating of chip dirt

to wallow in it, believing that they will
pick up all the Larvae that may be

lect, by little care and cultivation

The Last of the Commune.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The last visible signs OF the commune
that yet remain-the magnificent ruins
of the Cour de Comptes-are about to
be demolished. The bare walls of this
immense building have long been an
eyesore to the socialists and those who
had most to do with its destruction,
and frequent campaigns have been
started against it.
1t was burned down on May "a,
1871, on the order of Ferre on the
same day that the TUileries and other
buildings suffered. The grande sale
was filled with powder and petroleum
and then blown up. 1t is now pro-
posed to build new barracks on its
site in place of those beside it on the
Quai d Orsay, which are going to be
pulled down. This depot has always
been very unhealthy and is almost
tumbling down OF its own accord.

AUTUMN LEAVES.

From the October tinted woods you sent

Within the qufvering shadows of tall trees,
Where sunbeams enter trembhngly and slow,
Al though borne thither on some passing
breeze.
The heavy branches in the May-J;de sheen
Wore golden favors DER their radiant green
So brown to-day the leaves.
You told me OF your life. Already red,
The harvest sun lay on the western verge,
Your early days of spring and hope were fled
Watched the sunlight and the shadows merge,
And thought how in the early morn the light
Had made the whole world beautiful and bright
Had touched with gold the leayesl

The sunset may be fading in the west,
But faith still looks beyond an opep gate
To where the restless may at last, hTd rest.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE MYSTERIOUS FRIEND.

As the fire burned stronger about the
Cattle Kings feet, lighting up his pale,
handsome, but composed face, cry rang
out loud and piercing-a woman's cry.
And into the circle of red murderers a
figure sprang, ran to the victim at the tree,
cut his bonds, and dragged him back out of
his perilous position, crying:
Starlight forbids the burning of the
white Cattle King. Starlight, the daughter
of your chief, forbids il"

words.

As she spoke, she lifted her right hand,
and it appeared to hold q hundred flashing

deliver the message"
Two redskins seized Jasper and dragged
him back to the very lodge from which he
had escaped at nightfall. but leaving him
securely bound this time and carefully
guarded.
No sooner was he removed than Starlight
continued, now speaking in the Indian dia-
lect:
