HOW TO USE CRABAPPLEs.

The Best Way of Making Crabapple
JelIy-Crabapples sweet
Pickle lis Ornamental ms Well as
Delicious.
No fruit has a more delicate flavor
than the crabapple, when utilized as a
foundation for jellies or pickles. Being
small, they require to be picked whole.
and 50 make an ornamental as well as
a toothsome dish.
Crabapple Jelly.-Select large. fine
crabapples, wash them clean and cut
into quarters, but neither pare nor
remove the seeds. To every five pounds
of fruit allow one pint of water, and
put all into porcelain lined kettle.
Cover tightly and boil slowly until the
apples are very tender. Then drain
them through flannel jelly bag. let
ting them drip until all the juice is
extracted, but do not squeeze or press
the pulp. To every pint of the juice
so obtained allow one pound of gran
ulated sugar. Put the juice into
porcelain lined or granite kettle and
bring II quickly to a boil. then add all
the sugar and stir until ii is dissolved.
Boil rapidly and without stopping un-
til 1t will form a jelly, Swimming care
fully as the scum rises to the surface.
To determine when 1T is sufficiently
cooked, test the juice by putting tea
spoonful in the bottom of a saucer and
stand on ice. Usually twenty min
utes' boiling Is sufficient, but the time
has been known to vary from fifteen
to thirty-five minutes, and for that
reason 1t is well to begin testing at
the expiration of quarter of an hour.
AS soon as the juice in the saucer jel-
lies remove the kettle from the fire.
Roll the tumblers quickly in hot water
and fill them with the scalding liquid.
Stand aside until perfectly cold and
firm, which will usually require TWEEN
ty-four hours.
Crabapple Sweet Pickle.-Select nice,
ripe fruit in perfect condition. Weigh
and for every eight pounds of fruit al
low four pounds Of the best brown
sugar, one quart of vinegar and one
cup of mixed whole spices consisting
of stick cinnamon. cassia buds, all
spices and cloves, but using less of the
allspiee and cloves and mora of the
more delicate spices. Tie all the spices
In a bag and add both them and the
sugar to the vinegar. Then place over
the fire and allow to heat slowly,
Swimming carefully all the time Throw
in the fruit and cook until scalded and
tender, although not broken: skim out
of the syrup for five minutes longer
and pour over the fruit. Let stand
over night, and i'm the morning pour
off the syrup again, boil for five min
utes and return to the jar. Repeat
this process for three successive days,
keeping the bag of spices always in
the syrup, and store away until needed.

A SEVERE SENTENCE.

In the City Court on Friday Charles
Williams, negro, was sentenced to
nine months on the chaingang for
the theft of banana. The sentence
seems to be out of proportion to the
offense, and it has been the subject of
a good deal of comment.
Judge Norwood of the City Court ev-
identity has very little sympathy with
persons who, accused of offenses, APP
pear to be but little better than COM
mon Migrants. 1t seems that this
man Williams had pleaded guilty in
the Recorders Court and mot guilty.
in the City Court, thereby putting the
county to considerable expense I'M
necessarily. The impression he made
upon the court doubtless was that he
was a sneak thief and that light
sentence would not lead him to mend
his ways-that it was not possible to
make a decent citizen out of him
and that therefore. as far as the pub
lie was concerned, he was better off
on the changing than at large.
OF course where the accused party
stole to satisfy hunger such a sem
tence would have been out of all rea-
son. and we are sure the court would
not have imposed it In a case of that
kind, but even in the case in question,
was not the sentence too severe2 Aft

One of Webster,s Tricks

1t Is reported that Mr.. J. Pierpont
Morgan gave newsboy fifty cents for
a paper and refused to take change,
says the Louisville Courier-JournaI.
The incident is illustrative. Mr.. Nor
gan not only abs the wealth of a Croe-
sus, but the wisdom of a serpent. He
has made that newsboy his friend.
Whenever Daniel Webster visited New
York he occupied a famous double
room on the first floor of the Aston
House; there he was accustomed to
receive his visitors and drink his bran
dy. Learning that the barkeeper was
politically hostile to him and was con-
stantly talking against him, he one
day went to the bar and asked in his
best manenr for drink of brandy.
After taking a truly Websterian slug
of the liquor he smacked his lips and
placed dollar on the counter. The
barkeeper rendered to him the change.
But Webster, shaking his fine head.
said: mo, sir; no change for such good
liquor as that" and grandly walked
away. The barkeper was ever after
ward one of his most enthusiastic sup
porters. Webster had bought him for
one dollar and a single sentence. and
without his knowledge. Mr.. Morgan.

Rinhop,s "Policxv story.

Rev. DR.. Burgess of Brooklyn, the
newly elected bishop of the diocese of
Long Island. can enjoy a good joke
and tell a good story. says the New
York Times. At a meeting of the
Clerical League he told to the 'breth-
rem" this tale of a reporter from a
daily paper who was unduly eager for
a beat"
1t may be remembered that the con-
vention at which the bishop was elect
ed was a stormy one and that DR..
Burgess was, in common parlance, a
dark horse" The voting began at 2
p. m, 10 ballots were cast, II names
were voted on, and adjournment was
not reached until 1920 the next morn
ing, when DR.. Burgess, whose name
was not presented until after midnight
and on the night ballot, was elected
bishop. 1t was thus o'clock before
special train bearing the delegates
reached town and o'clock when DR..
Burgess got to bed-himself the most
surprised man of the lot.
Ten minutes later-that is, less than
three hours after his election-the night
doorbell of the Grace Church rectory
began to ring, and when a night-robed
form leaned from the second-storv
window a voice below sent up the alb
surd query, "Will you outline your
policy as bishop"
The doctor in that mild manner which
is his own explained how it would be
impossible just yet to say as to his
policy, and ended by asking. why,
do you know what time it is p"
But the reporter, eager for an "in-
terview," was ready with another ques-
ton, and called up, How old are
you?"
The two questions must have been
spoken at the same instant, for when
the answers came they also came to-
gether, meeting in midair. The phrase
resulting was of such a nature as to
shock the sacred stiffness of the sleep
ing heights, for the conjoint answer

A PRACTICAL QUESTION.

The Chinese Boxers are again mas
sacreing native converts, burning
chapels and frightening the mission
aries. Many of the leaders of the Box
ers have been captured and executed,
but the troubles continue. 1t is a
practical question to ask if the few So
called Christian converts are really
worth the blood and treasure they are
costing, and whether it would not be
better for the Christian missionaries
to remain in their own respective bail
iwicks and preach to and pray for and
help their own people? According to
report, to make Christian converts out
of the Chinese it is necessary for them
to be fed and clothed and given medi-
cal attention free of charge. This is
an excellent method of getting some
classes of people to do anything or be-
lieve anything they are asked to, and
it could be used to advantage right
here in America. The American money
that is spent in the effort to change
peoples religion from one belief to
another would relieve the urgent
necessities of probably the majority of
the poor and needy Christian men
and women of this country Mil
lions of dollars were wasted in
trying to Christianize the Ameri-
can Indians, and where is any result
to be seen from it? 1t would be prac-
teal religion to stop wasting money in
China and pay more attention to the
heather nearer home.

Timely Advice to an Amateur Chant
feur

A prominent Washington physician
furnished considerable amusement to
pedestrians on Pennsylvania avenue
one afternoon last week. says the
Washington Post. The eminent. but
upon this occasion absent minded, ply
stefan endeavored to leave the Raleigh
Hotel in his automobile. He had ridden
from some distance with a party of
friends, whom he entertained at lunch
con at the hotel. When the party was
ready to resume the trip the machine
refused to go, and the physician la
bored for a long time in the fruitless
effort to induce it to move.
By this time a large crowd had col
lected, and the party seemed to Won
der how it was possible for such a
mob to form in such a little while.
Then some rude man in that collec-
ton called out at the top of his voice.
why don't you turn on the gaso-
lene?"
The doctors facial expression might
have meant anything, although he said
not word. But he quietly laid down
his tools, his quick eye sought out the
man who had made the suggestion,
and, in manner that was Chester
fieldian to the limit, he said: 81 thank
you"
Then he turned on the power, and
the machine went sailing off as
smoothly as a cup defender.

TAMMANY's NEW LEADER.

There is no longer ground for spec
ulation as to whether Mr.. Croker will
return to this country and take his old
place as the leader of Tammany. Mr..
Croker is out for all time, fact no
doubt which his intimate friends knew
when he settled in England.
The new leader, Charles F. Murphy,
is a comparatively young man, but
a man of much more than ordinary
ability and much strength of charac-
ter. He is very different in all essen
tial particulars from Mr.. Nixon, who
was chosen to succeed Mr.. Croker.
For one thing he is much closer to
the average Tammanyite. He is one
of the plain people, and he knows
better than Mr.. Nixon did how to deal
with the rank and file of the organiza-
ton.
OF course it is by no means certain
that he will be able to maintain him
self at the head of the society. He
may not have the requisite strength
Of character and tact. 1t requires a
great deal of both to deal with the
Tammany district leaders.

leader of the ninth assembly district
who is going to give Tammany trou-
BILE. His name is Devery-William S.

my name to come before the primary.

A LESSON AND A WARNING.

The frightful stampede of colored
people in Birmingham, with it's long
casualty list, should prove a lesson and
a warning to those who gather in large
numbers in public halls. 1t will rot
do to say that the black people were
too easily frightened and that white
audience would have behaved better.
The same sort of thing is liable to
happen to any audience, white or
black. Great crowds are VIGOROUSLY
timid, especially where there is a sug-
gestion of danger from fire. The crowd
seldom stops to think. The reasoning
power seems to be suspended for the
moment and the impulse is to rush
away to place of safety; and death
frequently attend the rush. There was
no danger in the Birmingham church.
If the people could have been brought
to think for one moment, the disaster
would not have occurred. 1t requires
effort and training to keep ones wits
all the time and under all circum-
stances, but in that lies the greatest
measure of safety that can be sug-
gested. The lesson of the occurrence
is, keep cool, don't get excited. Even
in an actual case of fire the person
who keeps cool has far the better
chance of escaping injury.
