Apple Butter Like Grandmoeher'a.

The first thing to do is to secure some good, sweet cider (apple cider) and boil 1t half away. This should be done the day before you expect to begin with the apples. l use Q porcelain lined kettle that holds five gallons. Boil 1t half away and let it remain in the kettle overnight on the back of the stove. The advantage of this is it is warm and will begin cooking earlier. As soon as possi- ble the next morning I begin and pre- pare the apples as for sauce and put in- to the cider all 1t will hold. Fill the pot full to the top. and as it cooks soft keep putting in more apples to keep the ket- tie full until it is quite thick and let cook slowly and stir very often. as 1t will burn very readily if it is over too hot fire. It needs to be cooked long time. never finish mine in one day i; simply move it back on the stove where it will not cook, but keep warm over night. When 1t is done, it will be cooked away considerably and thick and dark like jam or marmalade. Do not sweet en until nearly done. as 1t burns more quickly. and by cooking away as 1t does it might be too sweet. Uss white sugar and sweeten to taste. use no spices, as I consider they spoil the flavor of the cider and apples, If they are used, they should be of the very best and carefully added. This recipe keeps perfectly without be- ing put up airtight. put it in stone jars and tie 8 cloth over it merely to keep out dust. Farmer.

An old Dog.

It Is interesting to study the eccen- tricities of animals Their freaks and fancies seem to make them almost hu- man. A dear old collie who has been indulged in all sorts of ridiculous whims has recently taken upon himself to re- sent the habit of his master and mis- tress in sitting up late. When the dog considers that it is bedtime, he becomes restless and wanders about the room, looking ruefully at the offenders as much as to say, Aren't you ever going to take your departure up stairs?" When he becomes convinced that his mute aps peals are unheeded, he walks slowly to his accustomed corner and with deep Rrunt of dissatisfaction settles himself ostensibly for the night. The funniest part of this performance is that be never spends the night in that corner, but the moment the lights are out and he feels sure of not being driven down stairs where he belongs he takes up his quar- ters at the top of the stairs leading to his masters bedroom. This same dog has as keen an appreciation of good cake as any human epicureL The wag of his tail when pound cake is given to him and the refusal of that tail to wag when sponge cage is offered tell the story as plainly as words. s.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Governor Cooke on Tuesday sent in for re-nomination the names of Chief Justice Andrews and Justice Fenn of the supreme court, ana Judges F. B. Hall s. O. Prentice, s. M. Thayer and-S. A. Robin son of the superior court. It Is pretty we'll known that a vigorous effort was made to induce the governor to throw overheard some of these gentleman, and 1t is equally we'll known now that the effort has failed. Governor Cooke has done just what his best friends felt sure he would do, and has carried out the wishes of the people of the state. Our judiciary in Connecticut Is very satlsfac- tory to the public. Experience makes each good judge better one as time goes on. The state Is to be congratulated on the course that the governor has pursued. -Hartford LourGnt.

 The United States government within a few days will have completed the purchase of Fishers island and a part of Plum island, off the Connecticut coast in Long Island sound. The titles are now being examined by United States District Attor- ney Bennett of Kings county, and when he has reported on their validity, the own ershlp of these strategic points will be- come vested In the United States. Fish CTS leland commands the entrance to Long Island sound from the Atlantic ocean, though the Fishers Island sound channel. Plum island commands the en- trance to the same body of water through Plum Gut. The two are among the most important poIuts of defense on the Allan tIc seaboard and foreign engineers have often expressed surprise that they were not acquired by the government half- century ago. These purchases are the first sssps in system of fortitications that are to dot Long Island. from the East rlvsr to the ocean. They VIII be equip pod with batteries of the latest pattern. They wiIl be practically impregnable to attack from the sea and will bs furnished with a torpedo service In addition to long, range gums. The work of fortiacation will probably begin in the spring.
