APPLE JELLY.

Apple jelly is little regarded be-
cause the apple is so common. Never
theless it is one of our most excellent
fruit jellies, and it is standard de-
pendence of the French cook in the
preparation of fruit pies and various
other desserts. The French make
many delicious compotes of apples,
The difference between n compete and
preserve should be carefully noted.
A compete is a preparation of fruit
put up for immediate use, as we put
up cranberries or stew apples; a pre-
serve is preparation of fruit intended
to be used at some distant time, and
may usually be kept twelvemonth or
longer. Apple preserves are an alb
surdity, as apples are found in market
all the year round, except in the be-
ginning of summer, when other fruits
are in abundance. Apple Jelly Is best
prepared from time to time as it is
needed, though there is no objection
to having two weeks supplies in the
house for fruit pies and general use.
A compete should not be made more
than day or two at the furthest be-
fore it is to be served. The most
familiar American compete, moulded
cranberries, is considered to be in its
prime condition the day after it is
made.
For an apple jelly select dozen
firm, well favored apples. Fall pip
pins make an excellent Jelly, but almost
any well favored, slightly tart apple
will do for this purpose. Do not peel
the apples, but cut them into quarters,
leaving the core in, but removing my
wormy specks. Partially decayed APP
Piles are unfit for the purpose. Pour
a pint of cold water over them and
slice in half lemon. Put them in n
porcelain-lined kettle to boil. Let
them cook for twenty minutes, and
then strain them through fine sieve
or coarse cloth. Add sugar in the
proportion of pound to every pint
of juice. Let the sugar and apple
juice boil together for twenty minutes.
Then test the mixture, and as soon as
it forms n jelly pour it into cups. A
layer of this jelly spread over an apple
meringue pie before the meringue is
put on is great improvement, and
most French cooks use such layer in
all their fruit pies, both next to the
crust and over the fruit, so that the
fruit is incased in the apple Jelly. The
reason for this is that the apple is an
inexpensive, convenient article to use,
and possesses the ability to take to
itself the flavor of other fruits, like
peaches, pineapples and greengages.
A most delicious apple meringue pie
is made of apple jelly strongly tine
tured with lemon juice and covered
with a meringue favored with lemon.
For the purpose of economy nice
applesauce, strained as it should be,
and with layer of apple jelly over it
and then the layer of meringue is more
often used. New York Tribune.

THE cRrrSo s1v OF our LAND.

Rev. J. NJ. Cleary, ofMinueapolls, formerly
President of the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union OF America. at the recent Catholic Lay
Congress, held in Chicago, read an able
paper upon the subject of temperance, in
which he characterized intemperance as the
crying sin of our land. and also said
''The drink curse shields itself behind false
theories OF science. and many have been de
luded by the false notion that alcohol is bene-
icial to health. Thirty-six States OF this
Union have by law made the teaching of true
principles of temperance compulsory in our
common schools. Too much importance
,annot be attached to the practice OF incul-
,ating habits of total abstinence among chill
iren and our hoys and girls during the dan
yerous and trying period OF youth.
III our prelates, priests, and people join
hands together to work in harmony and
strength for the realization fthe admonitions
If our plenary councils the awful curse OF
ntemperance can be almost entirely eradi-
,ated from among us. We must encourage,
hen, our total abstinence societies by every
means at our command. We priests, mind
iul of Pope Leo's worJs, must shine as mod
sis OF total abstinence and by eXhortation
and preaching avert the many calamities
With which the vice threatens Church and
state.
I'm those sanctuaries OF affection and vir-
Tue, the Christian homes OF our people let
he sophistries OF the advocates of alcohol be
exposed by sound reasoning, the tempta-
lions and dangers of the saloon be carefully
explained, and let fathers and mothers merit
'or themselves the reward and consolation of
sober sons and daughters by showing a noble
example of self-control and sobriety.
Let there be Il general and a generous
distribution of temperance literature, tracts,
lectures. statistics, and good reading among
our people. And this work of agitation in
favor OF sobriety and temperance must be
constant and active. The allurements of
drink are ever thrusting themselves in the
pathway ofmen. Near to the house ofprayer
the workingman finds the drinking-saloon,
cheerful, enticing, and hospitable, as he goes
to worship God on Sunday morning. Close
TO the gates of the factory or mill the agents
Of alcohol ply their trade and tempt the
weary toiler TO spend for moments gratih-
cation his hard-sarned money that is much
needed in his humble home. Surrounded
thus by attractive temptations, men need
constant warnings, repeated admonitions
and such wholesome influence as vii
strengthen and safeguard them against the
oyerpowering spell Of drink.

Shoe. Dressing Recines.

People who pay out good deal of
money for inferior shoe-dressings will
be glad to know how to make a good
dressing for themselves at a very small
cost. The following is said to be a
capital recipe; Take two drains of
spermaceti oil, three ounces of good
molasses, and four ounces of finely
powdered ivory black, and stir them
together thoroughly. Then stir in
half pint of good vinegar and the
dressing is ready for use. 1t gives a
bright, clean surface, and makes the
shoes look almost like new. Here is a
dressing for rainy weather, which will
make the shoes waterproof, and at
the same time leave the leather soft
and pliable: Take an ounce of bees
wax, an ounce of turpentine, and a
quarter of an ounce of Burgundy
pitch. Put them into half pint of
cotton seed oil, and melt together
over a slow fire, being careful that the
mixture does not take fire. Picayune.

POULTRY NOTES.

Grease of any kind is preventive
of scabby legs,
1t is best to have the roosts low and
all on one level.
Don't keep too large flock for the
accommodations you offer.
Too much food is as bad as too little
for diminishing the egg supply.
Active breeds require more grain
than those which take on fat readily.
All grain should be scattered so
that the hens are compelled to search
for it.
Cut bones are we'll worth what they
cost, and every farmer should own a
cutter.
If you expect to make money out of
your poultry you must give it rational
treatment.
Bronze turkeys are cross between
the pure American gobbler and do
mestic turkey.
Mixed lots in the chicken market are
generally purchased at the price the
poorest are worth.
Give all the fowls warm feed each
day, if possible, and avoid feeding any
musty or spoiled food.
A good way to feed clover to poultry
is to run it through a cutting box and
then soak it over night.
By raising most of your roots and
vegetables the cost of keeping poultry
will be greatly diminished.
Light Brahmas are the largest of
the Brahma family. They are good
birds where meat is desired.
The layers and the fattening fowls
require different systems of feeding,
and should be kept separate.
Most people are unaware that con-
sumption is one of the many diseases
to which poultry are subject.
Inbreeding will improve the appear
ance of the birds, but if carried to fer
the health of the chickens will suffer.
A three .year-old gobbler is generally
esteemed better than two .year-old
one for the raising of healthy chicks.
The best laying hens are the most
active. Keeping food constantly be-
fore them will spoil the best flock of
layers.
Grass in runs is possible only when
they are sufficiently large to allow each
hen from eighty to 100 square feet of
space.
You may be too far from market to
pay for raising poultry TO send thither,
but why not raise little for your own
family?
Why not feed your poultry n little
ensilage? What is good for milk pro-
duction should also be good for egg
production.
Fowls are supposed to have been in
| trodueed into Europe from Persia
They are believed to have been first
domesticated in Burmah.
Everybody knows that the sick
swallow liquids more readily than
solids, and as successful poultry keep
ing implies the employment of com
mon sense, give your sick poultry
their medicine in the drinking water.

Psychologists and lovers of athletics
may be interested in recent expert
ments and researches of French ar
tillery captain, M. de Raoul, who,
some fifteen years ago, began TO try
and find out the most economical and
least trying way of walking There
are many manners of walking, some of
which are much devoid of grace the

posed that rs far as efficiency is CON
others. M. de Raoul has come to the
conclusion that, as far as fast walking
is concerned, the best method is that
which he calls marche enhexion. The
principle is to run without leaping, to
raise the body above the ground as
little rs possible, to keep the knees
bent, the upper part of the body in
clinod forward, so that practically you
are always running after your centre
Of gravity. The feet must be raised
only very slightly. NJ. de Raoul, who
has now some years of experience,
'ays that he can take any man between
twenty and sixty and teach him to run
as long as his legs can carry him with
out getting out of breath. Some men
can, on the very first trial of the
method, run seven or eight miles with
out stopping, while, with the ordinary
tactics, they could not have run over
one mile. The first kilcmeter Ia kilo-
meter is five-eighths of a mile) is
usually covered in seven minutes and

HORSE NOTES,

Bran makes more bone than oats
Beauty and speed combined will al
ways sell.
Breed in to fix the type and out to
strengthen the constitution.
Horses kindly treated AMI well
groomed require less feed than those
which are not well cared for.
The horse breeder should know how
to handle his horse intelligently, treat
it humanely and feed it scientifically.
The horse is dainty feeder and will
eat more heartily and with better
relish if the food is not kept con-
stantly before them.
When German coach horses are
crossed, even upon common mares,
the colts produced are remarkable for
size, bone and action.
Young horses for roadsters and driv-
ing purposes need to be fed properly
and upon the grain foods adapted to
their needs and future development.
Every farmer should include colt
o. two among his live stock. If they
are the proper kind, they will pay
better than almost any other kind of
stock.
Turn the colts out every day to ex-
ercisc at will in paddock. If kept
in the stall their spirits and health
suffer and they are apt to form bad
habits.
In order to bring a good price
young trotters must be trained. II
the breeder cannot afford to do this he
eau sometimes arrange with trainer
for development on 'shares.
If horse meat could be made popu-
lar as an article of diet, it would be a
boon to those people who have been
foolish enough to breed inferior hor ses
which are not suitable for road OF
lraught purposes.
The produce of pacing dams train
