PETER PIPER'S PICKLES.
PEPPERS STUFFED AND INSTITUTED


Picked peppers have been celebrated alike in
nursery rhyme and housework lore. They form
standard pickle, whether prepared by themselves.

a chowchow of chopped cabbage. small onions
and cucumbers. with seasoning
To pickle peppers take large bell peppers, ano
with a keen penknife cut around the stem and re-
move all the seed. Lay the peppers in brine strong
enough to float an egg. BE sure to put in the
stems also For those peppers which are to be made
into mangoes add tiny onion and a cucumber
not more than half an inch long, To every two dozen
peppers that are TO be made into mangoes allow two
quarts Of cabbage Put the cabbage in bag under
press first sprinkling 1t literally with salt. You
NAV also add three green tomatoes to the chopped
cabbage before ii Is put into the press Let the
vegetables remain in brine and the cabbage and
tomatoes in press for twenty-four hours. Then re-
move them. Take out those peppers that are to be
picked as mangoes from the rest. Put the cab
bage and tomatoes In a bowl. Add to them table
spoonful Of white mustard seed, Tablespoonful
OF celery seed and two tabespoonfus OF grated
horseradish. Mix all these ingredients together
and stun the peppers with them. putting a tiny
cucumber and tiny onion in each one. FIT lhe

leaves. The shoals were still starred with tn
pure blossoms OF the srrow-head, while In the cur
rent Of the stream trembled the thick pink spikes
of the amphibious knotweed. At the foot OF the
rushlke leaves and gollen-brown spires OF tho
cat-tail and among the soft round heads OK tho

bright flowers Of the yellow pond-liIy.

Many OF the lily pads had been turned over
by the swift current, or perhaps by passing
boat, and showed tie deep, polished pink OF their
lower sides. Thick among them doated Their
placid, queeny flowers, with their green and PINK
tinged sepals, and their snowy petals which
pass impercrptibly into the centre OF golden
stamens The bright red twigs OF the do2wood,
the coral clusters OF the hobble-bush and stray
branch OF crimson maple lightened tho moro
thickly wooded banks. As we left the boat,
stepping upon the elastic carpet Of moss and
pine-needles and crossing a fallen, lchen-grown
tree trunk we discovered tho low white flower
and violet-like leaves OF the daibarda, and were
filled with wonder and delight when we found
the pink, fragrant bells Of the Linnaea stu
beralding the fame of their great master. The

MARYLAND Roads,

Maryland is in fair way, says
the New York Euening Post, to be
blessed with the good roads for
which the State Road League has
been so vigorously agitating. The
bill which has been prepared by its
committee for submission to the
Legislature is the result of much
labor by engineers and scientific
road-builders. Its thoroughness
may be judged from the fact that
it contains thlrty-four sections.
The duties of State road and
highway engineer are first defined.
1t is provided that he shall be pro-
vided with suitable offices and
equipment, and be empowered to
employ such engineers, clerks and
other assistants at such salaries as
the board of public works may APP
prove. Upon the approval of the
board the State engineer shall be
empowered to purchase stone-break-
ing machines, to set them up at
convenient places and to supply
stone to county boards at cost price.
The bill then provides for the APP
pOintment of road board in each
county. The board shall elect its
president and secretary and make
its own bylaws. 1t shall have gen
eral charge of the construction and
maintenance of the roads and
