HOW TO CUT AN APPLE.
And Leave the Skin Intact-Startlin
But Simple Trick.

But Simple Trick.
To cut an apple in two or more
pieces without also dividing the skin
seems an impossible feat, but that it
can be performed with comparative
ease anybody following the directions
here given will testify, Apples are SO
common fruit that they figure ON
every well organized dinner table, and
the little trick, when performed as an
after-dinner feat. is really quite star
ting. An apple with firm, smooth
skin should be selected. Take long,
slender darning needle and thread it
with silk or cotton. Linen thread is
perhaps the best, as it is not so liable
to break. Begin at the stem and take
long stitch under the skin Of the APP
pie, being careful not to go so deep
that the point of the needle does not
readily emerge. Take another stitch
in the same direction, sewing right
around the apple, exactly as you
would cut it in half.
When the thread comes out again
near the stem, take the two ends in
each hand, cross them and pull stead
lily. The thread will, of course, cut
the apple in two, leaving no mark on
the skin, and without breaking it be-
yond the tiny holes made by the
needle, which are quite invisible. BY
repeating the performance in differ
cnt parts of the apple it may be cut
into quarters and eighths, and on be-
ing peeled will fall into these sections.

TAG ON HORSEBACK.
How Some Quiet Nursery Games Are
Played in Wyoming.

Here's way to have little excit-
ing sport if you are good horseman.
Take several fellows on horseback
girls are not necessarily barred, but it
is not in any sense girls game-ride
into some field and play tag on horse
back. The smaller the field the bet
ter the opportunity for displaying
good horsemanship, as it will necessi-
tate more tricks and quicker turning.
The way they play the game out in
Wyoming the one who is "it' has to
touch only the horse, but this is more
dangerous than touching the rider,
for the horse, thinking you mean to
strike, will often plunge and kick
viciously.
OF course, polo ponies are the best
for this game, but any horse if proper
ly ridden can be made to understand
the game in a short time. 1t is fact
that the horses very often get as much
interested as the riders and will some
times get very much excited and kick
at an approaching horse to keep the
one who is cit" at distance. Cross
tag and PUSSY wants a corner" can
be played in the same way, although
none but the most experienced riders
should try the latter, as collisions are
very liable to occur In Wyoming
they even play prisoners base. This
was favorite sport in the Green
river country, but they have plenty of
rough games in Wyoming that should
never be brought east of the Rocky
mountains. Tag on horseback is real
ly very good game, but great care
should be taken at all times to pre-
vent accidents.-N. Y. Herald.

SCHOOL EXPENSES.
Contrast Between Those of City and
Country Strongly Marked.

uuhy SAonSS HAalhSus
When we look into the question of
expenditures for school purposes, and
the salaries of the teachers, the SUI
periority of city possibilities in ed
ucation is very marked. The annual
expenditures per capita for all pub
lie school purposes in cities Of 5000
population and upwards is $3.77; out
side of such cities, 1910. The con-
trast is even more strongly marked
in the distinctly rural portions of the
country. For instance, in the rural
districts of the South Atlantic states
the annual expenditure is only 93
cents per capita, and in the south
central states 81 cents per capita.
In the cities in these two sections
it is respectively $2.42 and $1,93 per
capita. 1t is remarkable and inter
esting fact that the cities of Mon
lana head the list with per capita
expenditure of $685.. The cities of
Massachusetts come next with $500,
and New York is third with $4.75.
Alabama is at the foot of the list, with
SO cents per capita in the cities and 80
in the country districts. North and
South Carolina and Florida are but
little better.-Gunton's Magazine.

ther, it wouldn't surprise us in the
