RECIPES.
PINEAPPLE PIE.

Pare the pineapple and carefully pick
out the eyes, then shred il OF with sill
yer fork in small bits. Allow an equal
amount of sugar, and let il stand for Il
while to drain the juice; then strew
thickly with cracker crumbs. Bake in
two crusts. Ii may be made half rhu-
barb, and will be, perhaps, quite as
good. For meriugue pie 1t is better to
CRATE the pineapple; or pineapple and
rhubarb may be cooked together and put
through sitter. Sweeten very literally
and add the yolks Of the eggs.

HEACu PIE.

Canned peaches are sometimes used
for pies, but better still, in my opinion,
is good fresh or evaporated fruit. Soak
in water to cover over night; simmer
gently until perfectly tender. sweeten
discreetiv. and add just mite OF extract
of bitter almond. Bake in two crusts,
or sift and reduce 10 a marmalade, and
make meringue or tarts.
CAROLINA RICE CAKES.
Pick over and wash half a pound Of
rice. Boil ill the grains lose form and
become Jelly. While still warm mix
into it two tablespoonfuls OF butter, and
saltspoonful of salt. Pour into bowl
small teacupful Of ground rice -four,
and add to it as much milk as will make
a tolerably stiff batter. Stir it until
quite smooth, then mix in thoroughly
with the boiled rice. Beat six eggs
quite light, and stir them into the mix
ture. Bake on a griddle, in cakes small
er than a saucer. Eat hot with sugar,
or with cinnamon and sugar, and With
butter.
STUFFED APPLES.
Cut up six tart apples, skins, cores
and all. Boil in pint or more OF water,
till quite soft. Strain, and to the juice
put pound Of granulated sugar, and
thin, yellow rind Of lemon. Boil this
syrup once, and skim. Boil in it "a
many fine large apples as 1t will hold,
pared and cored. When clear
and tender remove on perforated ladle.
Fill each apple centre with orange, plum,
apricot, or ounce marmalade. Boil the
syrup down until 1t will glaze, and when
half cool pour 1t over the apples.
PRUNE PIE.
Prunes are among the best OF those
store room fruits always useful. Cheap,
and appetizing, 1t Is well to
offer them freely, and they make an ex-
cellent pie. Soak for an hour or more,
and then stew gently until tender 10 just
enough water to cover. When cold, re-
move the pits, which Is not so long a job
AZ one might fancy. Sweeten moderate
"; little lemon heightens the favor.
Bake In two crusts, stewing with cracker
crumbs 30 thicken slightly.

Of their readings. These talks nave
been of high order and some of them
worthy of any audience, and it was
noticeable in every instance, that the
speaker felt that he had an apprecia
tive audience and found himself in
tently interested in and for his hearers.
Letters to the class have been re-
ceived from Chancellor Vincent, the
late Philips Brooks, and Edward K.
Hale. which have been read to them at
class exercises.
Frank Baird has twice visited and
amused and instructed them with his
inimitabe chalk talks, spiced with
words of solid good sense and kindly
counsel. which it was plain to see. had
touched the tender spot in many a
heart.
Miss KimbalI, the executive secre-
tary, and Mr.. Martin, the general
secretary of the c. L. S. c., have each
visited the circle, listened to class
exercise and spoke to the members in
true Chautauqua style; and to each,
unexpectedly, and without prepara-
ton, response was made, by member
of the circle, in words and spirit most
heartily appreciative, and in manner
which would have been creditable in
any place on any occasion. DIR. Hurl-
but, general superintendent of the
C. L. S. c., during his stay of the Crete
assembly in 1891, paid them visit
listened to their class exercise, and
gave them Chautauqua talk, much
to their edifcatiOn.
There is no more discriminating
audience than the class we meet IL
this prison. They are quick to discern
and appreciate a real interest in theil
welfare, and as quick to discover the
measure of intelligence and ability il
those who lead them in their class ex
ercises. AS rule, they are we'll pre-
pared on the various subjects, some o-
them remarkably so, and is we'll under
stood that any one who is to lead then
must be we'll prepared too.
; The papers read and the discussion
had from time to time, on subjects in
cident to the readings, have been o
; character, and have shown ability
which one would hardly look for il
such place and with such surround
ings.
The interest in this work and it's goo'
influence is not confined to the mem
bership of the circle, but it is felt al
through the prison, and it is not un
8: likely that in some cases the cell mate
5 of members are among the most inter
ested in, and profited by, the readings
? although they miss the advantages o
: the discussion in the class and tn
$ occasional talks ON special subjects.
