"What pant we in the apple tree?
Fruits that shall swell IN sunny June,
And reiden in the August noon,
And drop, when gentle airs co ma by,
That fan the blue September SKY,
While children come with cries OF glee,
And seek them where the fragrant grass
Betrays their be / to those wac pass
AT the foot of the apple tree"
1t is conceded that there is no fruit 10
this country, writes VI. J. Ashton in the
New York Observer, which can BE-
cooked in so many different ways as the
apple. Free use of ripe apples prevent:
indigestion. Two lipe raw apples eaten
every morning will usually cure con
stipation. DIR. HoIbrook informs US that
the operators of Cornwall, England,
consider the use Of apples as important
for food as bread.
Coddled Apples-Select smooth tart
apples, when they are about two thirds
grown. Wipe clean and cut the blows
out, leaving stems on, make syrup OF
sugar and water in proportion Of two
cupfuls of water, to ore and one-half
cupfuls of sugar; waen hot put in the
apples and cover closely; stew slowly,
SO the apples will keep whole; dish out
In sweetmeat dishes with some of tine
syrup over the apples.
Peeled Baked Apples-Select medium
sized tart apples, peel aud take out the
core, but leave the apple whole, fill
new tin with the apples, then I'LL the
cavities with sugar, place i'll quick
oven and bake, remove from the tin as
soon as done; serve in individual
dishes.
Apple Fritters-Beat two eggs, add
one cupful of sweet milk and little
salt, slit teaspoonful of baking pow
der into cupful of -four, stir into the
mixture slowly and add enough more
hour to make a thick batter. Peel,
quarter, core aud chop two large tart /
apples, stir into the batter; have ready
akettle of hot suet, drop large spoonfuls
into the fat, skim out AMI drain; serve
hot with maple syrup.
Apples Cooked IN Syrup-Peel, quar-
ter and core pleasant tart apples-the !
Duchess and Maiden Blush are superior
for cooking. Prepare a syrup Of white
sugar and water cooked together; when
it boils, put ia the apples and cook
slowly uatil they are tender, but perfect
in form; dish out carefully aud serve as
sou would canned fruit, either warm or
cold.
Fried Apples-This is a breakfast dish.
which Is adapted TO cool morning., and
easily made. A pleasant tart apple
should be used, and those with tain
skin. Wash and wipe, then slice with
out peeling; put two spooufuis Of but

hot water, pour in the apples AMI cover
closely, do not stir them; when done,
put little SUGAR in dish and pour the
apples out over it aud sift 4 little sugar
over the top. Fail pippins are excellent
for this use.

Tue COUNTRY ROAD.

rne pathway of life may be narrow and

But the road through the country is

The pitfalls and snares that best us are deer;
But the mud that surrounds us is deeper.
There are fence rails for bridges an mud

And hard heads ami boulders for gravel:
And broken-lown buggies, Oh nillsides AMI

Give warnings, like ghosts, as we travel
Lank horses, by work and abuse broken

Deserted farmhouses; ie fences decayeI,

Where once happy chlliren rejoic,d as they

There's little enjoyment in life scattered

In roads where the bottom can scarcsly be

RINGS ON THEIR NEcKs.
Marriage Yokes ola Strange Sort
Worn by African Woman.

Marriage Yokes ola Strange Sort
Worn by African Woman.
The BYanzi, who live along the Up
per Congo, have strange custom
which makes life burden to the
married women. Brass rods are weld
ed into great rings around the necks
OF the wives. Many OF these rings
worn by the women whose husbands
are well-to do weigh as much as thir,
ty pounds, and this burden must BIO
carried by the poor creatures as long
as they live.
Frequently one sees q poor woman
whose neck is CALLED by the heavy
weight. and in places the skin is rub
bed off by the ring. This is q sure
sign that tho ring has been re-
Gently welded around the neck.
After short time the skin becomes
callous, and then this strange orna-
ment produces no absion.
The weight is perpetual tax upon
the energies. In every crowd OF women
may be seen a number who are sup
porting the ring with their hands, and
thus for time are relieving their weary
shoulders OF the burden.
A ring is never put around wom-
ans neck until she is believed to have
attained her full physical development;
Once on, it is no easy matter to get it
of. The natives have no files, and,
though they can hammer q lot of
brass rods into one, it is very difficult
for them to cut the thick mass of
metal. Women who increase largely
in flesh after the rings have been
fastened to their necks are in danger
OF strangling to death, and instances
of this sort have occurred.
The women, however, regard the
cumbrous ornament with pride. They
imagine that it enhances their i'm
portance and beauty, ard wear their
burdens with light hearts. Brass is
the money OF the country, and in put
ting it around their wives necks the
men are certain that it will not be
stolen or foolishly expended.-Boston
Commercial.
