70 Can Apples.

Make syrup Of sugar and water in pro
portion Of one eupful ofsugar to three parts
of water. When the syrup is boiling hot,
drop into it the apples cut into quarters or
halves If they are very small. Put in at
one time only as many as will float on top
of the syrup without crowding. Let them
remain in the syrup until they look clear.
Some pieces will cook more quickly than
others, and each piece should be SKINNED
out into the can the moment il is done.
Continue in this way until the fruit can is
more than half full, then pour in hot syrup
to I'LL the can and seal at once. The guam.
tity Of syrup here given Is usually suffi.
Gent 10 fill quart can; should il leak any,
ill the can with hot water. For each new
canful make q new syrup. If the fruit is
intended for pies only, just half the guam
tity Of sugar will do.

The Banjo String /!

Only banjo string
Yet sweet the memory
or little face resembling sunlight
OF little hand 80 soft and white,
That used to pluck at the hanjo strings:
And voice low and 30 sweet
And now and then a sound of feet
Beating, and keeping time,
Oh the memory is sublime!
The memory Of fiaxen locks
Upon a shapely head;
The memory Of a bright-bright smile
And the laughing words you said:
When suddenly, snap went string!
Snap and the music was DER,
Never again have heard the sweet strain
Oh could but hear il once more-once
more,
And see that sweet face once again!

He Wants Damages

S. f. Hughes has brought suit against
August w. Weifenback, Mackay & Young,
A. f. Mackay and f. G. Young, to recover
$266O, with interest and costs, for personal
injuries sustained. In November last,
Hughes was employed as a laborer at the
building in course of construction at the
northeast corner of Seventh and Olive
streets. The contractors had hoisting
apparatus, which, it is alleged, was faulty
and defective, and which gave way, the
timbers falling on the plaintiff and inflict-
ing severe injuries. 1t is further alleged
that the plaintiff had only gone to work at
the building half an hour before the ac-
cident, and therefore had no means of as
certaining that the hoisting apparatus,
which did the damage, was defective.

Some members of the American legation

this season. When shopping one day last
week one gentleman purchased necklace
of opals, each opal set round with small
diamonds, and the series connected by
large and brilliant stones. The brooch to
match was a good sized opal with an oval
one hanging from it, which is removable to
wear as pendant. The lady for whom it
was purchased has sister in the states to
whom they are sending the bracelet OF

From the same establishment a young

After Forty Years of llarried Life

Mrs. Elizabeth Baker was yesterday di-
vorced from S. G. Baker, after forty years
of married life. The case was tried before
Judge Mckinley, and the witnesses, aside
from the venerable plaintiff, were the
grown children of the aged couple. 1t was
shown that for years the patient wife had
put up with ill-treatment and constant
abuse, her husband not only applying vile
epithets to her, but on frequent occasions
striking her. Of late his conduct became
so bad that Mrs. Baker could not stand it
any longer, and at last, driven to despera-
ton, filed suit for divorce. The parties
live at NorMalk.
