Apple Sauce.

There are many varieties Of apples
to choose from in cooking, and many
ways of cooking them. A great deal
depends on the way they are cooked
whether they are palatable or not. In
making apple sauce they are some
times cut up in careless manner, put
into Il tin basin on the stove, stewed
and sweetened in n haphazard way.
and dished with some portions stewed
soft and hard Jumps remaining. Take
the same apples, put into an earthen-
ware pudding-dish. add sugar accord
ing as the apples are tart, little wa
ter, cover close with n plate, cook slow
~ in theoven. until the apple turns red,
the sugar and water combined with the
juice of the apple turns into delicious
Jelly with all the aroma of the fruit in
it--that does justice to the apple.
Apples should always be cooked in
porcelain or earthenware, and stirred
with a wooden or silver spoon. Good

Generosity OF wealthy Wen.

The wealthy men of to-day" said
an old-fashioned business man, of New
York. who have acquired their riches,
not by the laborious old-fashioned
methods, but by sudden strokes, ought
to be extremely charitable have for
some years been placed in a position
where / could judge of the comparative
generosity of some Of the wealthiest
men in this country. have frequently
had TO call upon them for subscriptions
in cases worthy of every mans charity,
but it has always proved a very dis
heartening Job. The men whose for
tunes are so large that they themselves
can hardly know the extent of them
are the hardest men in the world to
get $50 subscription from, whatever
the purpose to which it is to be de-
voted. They are much closer with
their money than the men whose for
tunes are only moderate, and who ac-
quired their money by slow and laborl-
Gus methods. Perhaps the reason for
this lies in the fact that these extreme
ly wealthy men are overwhelmed with
demands for assistance and cannot af-
ford to waste time in answering all of
them; but, even if such be the case, it
is no excuse for neglecting the calls of
worthy charities.

EugenIe,s Limited Education.

The Empress Eugene, though nat
urally intelligent, was in some respects
extremely ignorant, says Paris let
ter. Educated as were the high-born
young Spanish girls of her generation
that is to say. not educated at all
she was forced all through her palmy
days to struggle against this great dis
advantage. She never could learn the
art of spelling, and all her private
notes and letters are thickly peppered
with faults Of photography. She as
cended the throne at the age of ga
period in life rather late for the COM
mencement of ones education. But to
her credit be it said, she did her best,
by incessant reading, to supplement-
the defects in her early mental train
ing. She spoke English to perfec-
ton, and the emperor and she were
wont to converse in that language
when they did not want their attend
ants to know what they were talking
about She was an elegant and fear
less horsewoman, but her principal
talent was for art, and she drew IN
crayon exceedingly well.

Claude Latapie was in despair; he
haA deserted his post had failed TO
give the alarm, and consequently his
comrades were about to be surprised
and massacred. How could he pro-
vent ftp What could he do 10 save
themp
He marched along quietly, rejoiced
l7r a minute at perceiving that his
captors were taking the wrong direc-
ton, but the captain soon discovered
his error and changed his route. This
time they were on the right road, the
little band of Frenchmen would be
captured-all was lost!
Suddenly the prisoner stumbled and
fell, and as his guardians stopped to
drag him up again, his fingers clutched
the trigger guard of Muller's musket.
The man snatched at the weapon. but
Claude hung on, and in spite of his
being bound succeeded in his design.
Then he felt for the trigger; Herman
forced him with the bayonet, and
Claude, mortally wounded, felt his
hold relax; convulsively he made an
other effort and the gun went off. A
loud report echoed through the dark
ness, and with all his remaining
strength he shouted:
TO arms"
Then, pierced through the body, he
reeled and stiffened, biting the snow.
But the report and cry was heard.
The French, aroused, attacked the
enemy; their main guard came up,
and after short engagement the Ger
mans, finding themselves surrounded,
laid down their arms.
Claude Lataple was lying in an am
bulance when the general of the corps
came up, bringing him the viaticum
of the brave--the cross OF the legion
of honor. The young man, however,
made wild gesture as he exclaimed:
mo. no; you do not know how it
was!"
Il know you are a brave man." re-
piled the general.
"Ah, my God!" sighed Claude,
must I proclaim my own dishonor
before / die? 1 deserve court-martial
instead of the Cross" And humbly,
in II voice broken by sobs, he confessed
his momentary desertion from his post,
adding in conclusion:
The whole outpost might have been
destroyed through my fault; yet, l
could not help plying that poor Ger
man."
His comrades made but poor re-
turn for your compassion said the Of
ficer.
They warned me; l know what to
expect" Claude answered, simply.

ing, he laid the madel on Claude's
breast and gave him the accolade. The
young soldiers face was illuminated;
he grasped the medal in his hot hand,
and gasping for breath. he murmured:
This is for my mother; will you
send it to her?'
And on receiving the generals prom
Use, the conscript smiled and died.

THE EARLIEST cRocUs.

One golden flame has cloven
The dingy garden clay,
One golden CLEAN is woven
Athwart the gloomy day.
And harki the breeze is bringing
One sudden bird-note, ringing
From far away.
Soon, set in dainty order,
A serried golden line,
All down the garden border
The crocusses will shine.
At last the spring is sighted
One golden lamp is lighted
To give the sign.

The advantage TO one who writes not q
tale of imagination, but simple record of
events, Is this; He need not be bound by the
recognized canons of the storytelling art
need not exercise his ingenuity to mislead
his reader-need not suppress some things
and lay undue stress on Others 10 create mys-
teries to be cleared up at the end of the tale.
Therefore, using the privilege of plain mar
nator, shall here give some account of what
became of Miss Rowan, as, so far as | can re-
member, heard 1t some time afterward from
her own lips
The old Scotchwoman's funeral over, and
those friends who had been present departed,
Madeline was left in the little farmhouse
alone, save for the presence of the two SER
wants. Several kind bodies had offered to
come and stay with her, but she had declined
the oilers. She was in no mood for company,
and perhaps being of such q different race
and breed would not have found much COM
fort in the rough homely sympathy which
was offered TO her. She preferred being alone
with her grief-grief which after all was
bound to be much lightened by the thought
of her own approaching happiness, for the
day was drawing near when her lover would
cross the Border and bear his bOnny bride
away.-She felt sure that she would not be
long alone-that the moment Carriston heard
of her aunt's death he would come TO her as
sistance. In such a peaceful, God-fearing
neighborhOod she had no fear of being left
without protection. Moreover her position
In the house was we'll defined. The old wo-
man, who was chldless, had left her niece
all of which she died possessed. So Madeline
decided to wait quietly until she heard from
her lover.
Still there were business matters 10 be at
tended to, and at the funeral Mr.. Douglas, of
Calendar, the executor under the will, had
suggested that an early interview would be
desirable. He offered 10 drive out to the little
farm the next day, but Miss Rowan, who had
to see to some feminine necessaries which
could only be supplied by shops, decided that
she would come 10 the town instead OF troub-
ling Mr.. Douglas 10 drive so far out
Madeline, in spite of the superstitious ele-
ment in her character, was brave girl, and
In spite of her refined style of beauty, strong
and healthy. Early hours were the rule In
that humble home so before seven o'clock In
the morniug she was ready TO start on her
drive to the little town. At first she thought
