Picked Sweet Apples: For picking,
they may be pared, quartered and
cored, as for canning, or pared and the
core removed with a slim. sharp knife,
leaving the apple in its original shape,
minus the core, or they may be cut in
halves and the core taken out. Cook
until soft in liquor made the same as
for picking pears. In short, in any
place where pears are used, sweet APP
pies make a good substitute, and they

How to Pop Corn: Place a quart
of common salt in a large iron pot, and
heat until thoroughly dried out. Place
a teacupful of the shelled pop corn into
the hot salt, stir constantly. and when
1t begins to pop. keep it moving with q
large iron spoon until it ceases to pop
=
use the same salt again. Indeed it
can be used several times. putting it
away where it will k eep dry each time.
The philosophy of this method is that
the hot, dry salt absorbs all the mois-
ture in the corn, thus enabling it to
pop out clear and brittle. This is much
better than when a pepper is used as
SO much more corn can be popped at
one time. Orange Judd Farmer.
Boiled Salads: Perhaps it never
occurred to some houselxeepers that the
remains of an old-fashioned boiled din
ner could be converted into a very
pretty and delicious salad. Equal
parts or any proportions of different
vegetab les included in the dinner can
be used BY arranging them in layers
on a fiat dish they may be made very
pleasing to the eye as we'll. Make a
little mound of dice potatoes, then one
of red boiled beets, then one Of turnips,
next cafrots, then caullHowers, then
string beans, and in the center a little
mound of the cold meat. Parsley and
turnip tops (the young sprouts which
grow in the winter) may be used for
decoration. The best dressing is the
plain French DRESSING; three table
spoonfuls of oil, one of vinegar, and
salt and pepper. Melted butter, cream
or sweet bacon drippings can be sub
stituted for the oil, but should not be
mingled and poured over until the salad
is about to be eaten.-American Agri-

HEALTH IN LONDON,

Fluctuations OF tho Death Rate tho
Eighteenth Century.
From 100 to 1850 the death rate in
London was SO high that the popula-
ton stagnated. In the former year the
inhabitants numbered $685. 200. and in
the latter year 653, 900. During this
period the deaths were in the ratio of
about one per thirty persons living.
BY 1901 the population had crept up to
TT, 900, and the deaths had fallen to
one in fortY-one persons living. This
great improvement IN the state of pub
lie health in London was not, except to
a trif1ing extent, the result of sanitary
legislatio People were becoming
more enlightened on many matters
affecting their health, partly owing to
a more general knowledge of chemis-
try, physiology, and other sciences re-
lating to man and his surroundings.
When those intrusted with the con-
duct of public affairs became aware how
much the health of the people was at
fected by bad water, by foul emana-
tions, and even cesspcols, and by too
great a density of population, they be-
gan to secure supplies of pure water,
to construct proper house drains and
street sewers, TO remove systema tically
filth from houses. and to widen streets.
The PRONUNCIATION of the natural laws
OF health preceded the enactment of
laws of health by the state. Jenner's
discovery of propeylaxis in smallpox
had for its corollary the vaccination
laws. The chemical ana lysis of water
was the basis of acts of parliament re-
1ating to water and rivers.-Charles
Cameron, at Sanitary Congress.

That it is life, not only the principle OF
life. and that men possess intelligence
in proportion to the volume or the ac-
tivity of electric matter within them
will be shown in the work forthcom-

that If electricity could be stored in
the human body, every mental or phys

which it could hold. "Visions of glory

live unchanged for ever.

The following is the report presenting
in part the views Of the minority Of the
committees:
I Without denying or conceding in any
I manner the correctness Of the facts as
4 claimed or of the statements as made in
( said report concerning other matters
therein mentioned. we especially dis
sent from that portion thereof which de-
clareS that the only substantial irregu-
iarity in the conduct of Mr.. Stevens,
the late minister, was his declaration of
a protectorate by the United States
lover Hawaii. We are of tile opinion
also that there are no valid reasons and
no course of dealing in our past relations
with those Islands which justify inter-
ference by the United States with the
political or internal affairs of Hawaii
any more than with those Of any other
dependent state or nation in this hemi
sphere. We cannot concur, therefore,
i'll 50 much of the foregoing report as
exonerates the minister of the United
States, Mr.. Stevens. from active, Off
ciouS and unbecoming participation in
the events which led to the revolution
in the Sandwich islands on the 14th,
10th and nth of January, 1898.
On the other hand, we are not inclined
to censure Capt. W iltse, commanding
the United States war ship Boston, or
The officers of that vessel.

viction that the in0pportune zeal OF

lit is not just criticism upon the
correspondence of Minister Stevens
with his government, that he earnestly
advocated annexation. In this line he
was in line with Mr.. Marcy and nearly
every one of his successors as secretary
of state, and with many OF Mr.. Stevens
predecessors as minister to Hawaii. His
letters to his government were written
under the diplomatic confidence that is
requisite 10 secure freedom in such
COMMUNICATIONS and were not expected
to come under the scrutiny of all man
kind. They show no improper spirit
and are not impeaehaDle as coloring or
perverting the truth.
But in his dealings with the Ha-
waiian government, his Conduct was
characterized by becoming dignity and
reserve, and was not in any way harsh
or offensive. In the opinion OF the COM
mittee, based upon the evidence which
accompanies this report, the only sub
stantial irregularity that existed in the
conduct Of any officer of the United
States. or agent of the president, during
or since the time of the revolution of
1893, was that of Minister Stevens in
declaring protectorate of the United
States over Hawaii, and in placing the
flag of our country upon the government
building in Honolulu. No actual harm
resulted from this unauthorized act,
but as precedent it is not to be con-
Sidered as being Justified"
