A FEW RECIPES.

Apple Jelly-A very NICE firm, rich jelly
may be made from the parings and cores of
apples. Cover them with water and let them
boil until the water has wasted a little and
the apple skins are very soft. Then strain
them and add the same weight of sugar as
there is liquid and boil the same for any
other jelly. little lemon juice added is an
improvement.
Stewed Apples-Make a syrup with one
half pound of sugar to each pint of water,
some lemon peel and juice. Pare and core
the apples and simmer them (but do not boil)
by the side of the fire, turning them occa-
sionally. When pretty clear, take them off
If only enough for immediate use are wanted,
three-quarter pounds of sugar, made into a
syrup, for twelve apples will be sufficient.
Apple Jam-Peel and core the apples and
cut them in slices; then put them into an
enameled saucepan, and to every pound
OF fruit add three-Quarters pound white SUI
gar and put in cited in a muslin bag) a few
cloves, small piece of ginger and the thin
rind of a lemon. Stir with a wooden spoon
on quick fire for twenty minutes or longer.
If the aples are juicy, when sufficiently boiled
the jam will sling to the spoon. Remove the
cloves, ETC., and put the jam into jars; when
quite cold seal down. Keep in a cool, dry
place.
Apples Preserved in Slices-Take the finest
apples pare them and cut them in slices
a quarter of an inch thick Without removing
the cores Boil two three lemons and
slice them with the apples. Take the same
weight of white sugar, put half a gill of
water for each pound of sugar dissolve it,
and set it over the fire. when it is boiling hot
put in the slices, let them boil very gently
Until they are clear; then take them out
with skinner and spread them on fiat
dishes to cool; boil the syrup until quite
thick and then pour over the apples. If only
prepared for two hours before wanted this
makes a nice dessert dish.
Apple Cheesecakes-Pare, core and boil
sufficient apples to make half pound when
cooked; add to these one-fourth pound sifted
sugar and one-fourth pound butter, which
should be melted, four eggs Qeavng out two
|of the whites), and the juice and grated
rind of one lemon; stir the mixture WE'LL
line some patty pans with rich puff paste,
put in the mixture and bake in hot oven.
When done have two whites of the eggs
beaten to stiff froth with some white su-
gar placed lightly over the cheesecakes, then
return them to the oven for minute to
brown slightly.

QUEER NOTIONS ABOUT, TIDES.

The tides those mysterious pulsations Of
the sea, have been the theme of curious
speculation ever since man began to ask
the reason Of what he around him.
Many sages and clever brains in the ages
of the past tried to explain away the peri
odical ebb and flow of the ocean, and many
plausible, if erroneous ideas, were seized upon
and used to solve the problem and some of
the curious notions of these old-world phil
osphers are worthy of interest. Aristotle,
who tried to find d logical reason for every
thing in nature thought that tides were
caused by the sun, which moves and whistles
the winds about so that they fall with great
violence on the Atlantic, the only great
ocean known to the Greek, which thus swells
and causes 1.-The tide. Plato accounted for
them as being caused by an animal living III
a cavern, which by means of huge orlnce'
created the ebb and flow. The ancient Arabs
believed that tides were caused by the moon
heating the waters and causing them TO
swell, while others averred that they were
caused by the alternate decomposition OF the
sea, thus causing an abb and flow. writer
as late the thirteenth century cooly re-
marks that tides are caused by the efforts
Of earth to breathe
Sanity ST. Jerome (not "K." of that ilk)
explained the mystery by means of caves
and Bede stated that the ebb and flow were
caused by enormous serpent, who swal-
lows and vomtS the water. Another old
sage thought that they were caused by the
melting of the zee at the poles. In Russia
jewellers by the seashore popularity believe
that the tides are governed by the water
kings daughter The Shetlanders used to
believe that periodical tides were caused by
a monster serpent that took six hours to
draw in his breath and about six to let it out
again. The Chinese believe that Supernatur-
al beings, weird and wonderful, cause the
tides, while the Malays that they are
caused by the movements of huge crab.
Some of these old thinkers have been very
near the solution of the problem, while some
of their crude notions are only fantastic

PYRAMIDS OF NApATA.

The opportunity for making an excursion
to the pyramids of Napata presented itself
recently, writes the London Graphc's artist
correspondent from the Soudan, and I eager
ly embraced the chance of visiting these in
teresting and little known relics of the past.
The pyramids lie clustered together on the
Western side of Gebel Barkel Mountain,
huge mass of sandstone rock which rises ma
jestically out of the desert, as Gibraltar rises
from the sea- This mountain, though of
great height, is landmark for many mile
round, and from Merawi camp the pyramids
themselves were plainly visible above the
belt of PLAN trees on the opposite bank of
the Nile.
These pyramids are six in number, and
with one exception all are in a wonderfully
perfect state of preservation. None of them.
however. is of any such vast dimensions
the pyramids at Czech, the highest proba bly,
not exceeding 60 feet. They appear to have
been built in groups of three, placed at right
angles to one another. The stones which
form the outer facing are in no case more
than three feet long by one and one-half feet
in Depth and are not very closely fitted to
one another These pyramids have never
been explored. What varied treasures may
they not contain? What priceless inscrip-
lions may adorn the walls of their sepulchral
chambers!
The temple which we first approached on
leaving the pyramids is hewn out of the solid
rock. 1t contains three chambers, the CEN
trail one being the largest, with two smaller
ones on each side of it. In each case the
walls are richly decorated with hieroglyphics.
and in some places the original coloring re-
mains. 1t is, however extremely difficult to
trace the details of the carvings, for the wild
bees have found them convenient projec-
tons on which to build their little nests.

LOVE SONG.

Oh, better than stars or sun,
Oh, better than moon or foam,

When the green sea thunders home:
Oh, better than swallows flight

Or the long delight thro' the rose-steeped

Of the love-drunk nightingale;
Yea!-better than angels song
That wins with love divine
Is the light that wakes in thine eyes when
breaks
My soul from my lips to thine.

BALLADE OF RHYMING DUELIsT

To my ballade, 1 prithee, list,
Since haply, at the century's close,
The world has turned romanticist,
And hero-worship daily grows.
I sing a knight of gallant pose,
OF valiant heart and supple wrist,
He of the weird and rueful nose,
I sing the rhyming duelist.
He was true philanthropist:
OF bores he quickly did dispose;
He caused bad actors to desist
From adding to the public woes.
What chivalry doth this disclose!
He needeth no apologist
Such fame with endless luster CLOVIS
l sing the rhyming duelist
And yet the sweets of life he missed;
Love made him feel it's bitterest throes:
For him was but vicarious tryst;
For him the thorn, and not the rose:
For him the subtlest pang love knows.
To wait below while Christian kissed:
Yet bravely bore he all his woes.
I sing the rhyming duelist.
ENVOY.
All, Cyrano, t is not in prose
That we should praise the balladist:
So. in the form thine own song chose

ence to political duties in Mississippi
arises from the fact that the State
has disfranchised more than half of
its voters and made the success of one
party so certain that only fraction
of those who retain the ballot think
it worth while to go to the polls.
The vote is growing steadily less, 10
691 fewer votes being cast at this
years election for Governor than at
the previous election for Governor.
The State is practically lapsing into
the control of an oligarchy. PrOpo-
sitions have been made in Maryland

method in force in Mississippi. If it
is carried out the same result will
probably follow from the same cause

(From the Philadelphia Press.)
Maryland and Mississippi both voted
for Governor at the recent election.
The population of the two States in
1890 differed about $50, 900, Mississippi
having 1883, 900 people and Maryland
1,O42, 800. The latter State, however,
has grown rapidly in population dur
ing the past nine years and it's popu-
lation now, probably, very nearly
equals that of Mississippi. January
/, 1899, the Governor estimated the
population of that State at 1895, 900
and the Govo,.trr of Maryland cal
culated the iurulation of his State
at 100000.
The nun'lrr of males of voting age
in the two states must be, therefore,
very nearly equal. Taking the usual
ratio of one voter to each five of
population there ought to be about
800, 900 males 81 years of age and over
in each State. In Maryland the vote
cast at this months election, accord
ing to unofficial returns, was 244, 695.
This is very fair poll, as it shows
that nearly five voters out of every
six voted. In Mississippi, however,
the total poll was only AZ, 64S, or about
one vote for each six males of voting
age. By clause il it's Constitution
Mississippi DISTINGUISHES practically
all it's colored voters, and as the col
Ored population in rnat State is about
four-sevenths of the total the number
of legal voters is little less than
100000 But as less than $4,000 bal
lots we've cast, only one in three of
the white voters went to the polls.
This alarming condition of indiffer-

favor of the immediate appointment

opposition. President Mckinley has
the matter under consideration, and
it was to get the benefit of the advice

The Frederick Neacs disapproves o

The Frederick Ne1CS disapproves of
any effort to amend the present cleo
ton law, put upon the statute books
during the present Republican admin
istration. The NeaCS says in part:
There are politicians who do not
want fair elections and who do not
regard law that prevents corruption
as blessing, and if they are not rep
resented among the men who will
make up the membership of the next
General Assembly that will be a most
extraordinary legislative body. In
order that such men may have no OBJ
portunity to make insidious attacks
upon it there should be no tampering
with the election law. The great ma
Jority of the people of Maryland are
perfectly satisfied with the election
law. They have seen that under its
provisions bribery and fraud are prac-
tically done away with and a fair
count guaranteed. Each year salts
faction with the law has incaeased.
The people would surely resent emas-
culation of it in any degree and any
attempt to strengthen it would be
dangerous for it might only result in
weakening it.
