The dried and evaporated fruits that
come from California are most excellent
and inexpensive. The apricots, with their
suggestion of just the right degree of tart
ness are delicious. and the only reason
they are not more widely known is that
the average cook does not know how to
prepare them, and the result is libel on
the fruit. They require careful washing,
piece by piece, between the thumb and fore
finger, long soaking over night for twelve
or fourteen hours. and then gentle SIM
mering In the water in which they We're
soaked until fresh and tender. Very little
sugar is required, and tbs should be added
about twenty minutes before taking from
the fire Prunes are at their best when,
after the preliminary soaking, they are
cooked in an old-fashioned pipkin in the
oven for three four hours. If the water
cooks away, add more. Many good cooks
add no sugar at all to prunes cooked In
this way, the long cooking bringing out all
the sweetness of the fruit. Peaches end
plums cooked in this way become rich

a jelly
Apples require longer .oakfng, but shorter
cooking. If the choicest evaporated fruit
is used there will be scant difference be-
tween the apple sauce" made from the
fresh apples and that from the evaporataa,
save in the price, the evaporated apples IN
most places being much the cheaper.

The records of the station occupants are
filled with such thrilling accounts, ana also
contain a vast amount of interesting SCI
entlfic information regarding atmospheric
and other phenomena. On enc occasion an
occupant of the station saw distinct All
roral arch to the north, something that. II
is believed, has never been observed from
ordinary levels far south as Colorado.
The records of 1874 also contain the follow
ing information regarding the boiling OF
water on the top of the peak: a dishpan of
snow was put on a hot stove in order that
the agent might get water for drinking pur-
poses. In a few moments the water in the
bottom of the pan was boiling, while the
snow was three or four inches deep on top
The steam escaped through this arcn of
snow with a loud kissing.
A Relief Expedition.
One day in the spring of 1884 it was re-
ported at Colorado Springs that signals of
distress flying from The summit OF
Pixies Peak. Heliograph and flag signals
were used by the operators when IL
desired to convey any information to the
world below. but it was not always easy TO
read these signals Alright on account of the
great distance. Clouds enVeloped the sum-
nit most of tie time. but it believed
that the signals of distress had really been
seen. and finally public sentiment rose To
such a pitch at the thought of lonely
operator starving to deaSh or i'll on the
peak that a relief expedition was organ
lied Several men volunteered to carry pro-
visions and medicines to the peak or to per-
ish in the attempt After struggling against
tremendous odds the party finally reached
the peak, nearly all snow-blnd and FROST
bitten. When the rescuers entered the sta
ton house they expected to find the body
of the operator cold in death, but instead
the young man smoking his pipe and
stunning his banjo. He nearly dropped
dead of establishment when he saw human
beings enter his abode, but declared that
was the nearest death he had BEEN as he
was In good health and had provisions
enough to last till well into the summer
when the trail would be open. The trip
down was hard as the trip to the peak
and when the party arrived in Colorado
Springs again every member was too ex-
usted to think of wreaking vengeance or
an who had misread the signals.

Mr.. Jerome would make a whirl-
wind campaign and astute politi-
clans say would be likely to appeal
very strongly to the upstate voters
and his anti-vice record. He made a
sweeping victory when he ran for
his present office after one of the
most picturesque campaigns in mu-
nicipal history.
Governor B. B. Odell is keeping
his own counsel well and there is
not much light on what is liable to
happen at the republican state con-
vention at Saratoga. Maybe Mr..
Odell, now the real head of his pari
ty in the state with Senator Platt
retired to his farm near Newburg,
wants a third term for himself. The
democratic newspapers say so, and
they seem anxious to have this hap
pen for there is that fine line Of gro
cery'' campaign mud that might be
taken from the 1902 closet and hurl-
ed at the governor again.
Besides that Governor Odell had
a big bunch of stock in the Ill smell
ing and defunct United States Ship
building company, and his enemies
always find amusement in shaking
this fact in his face.
Elihu Root. for the steenth time,
had vowed that he will not give up
his big law practice in Wall street
to head the republican state ticket
and all the urgings Of the biggest
guns in the party from the president
down has been for naught. There
are those who still declare, though,
that Root is not in earnest and that
the convention will name him and
he cannot then refuse.
Timothy Woodruff, who had q
monopoly on the lieutenant govern
orship through three terms and who
went down to Philadelphia in hot
competition with Roosevelt as can
didate for the vice presidential nom-
| nation on the ticket with McKin-
| ley, thinks that he has a fair show
| for the Saratoga nomination. And
| he has host of friends who are
plugging for him. Many other names
| have been mentioned. but Mr.. Odell
has said no word and until he speaks
| nothing is at all sure.
Chairman Tom Taggart says that
with fractional differences disposed
of in New York the state is certain
| to go for Parker and Davis. Chair
| man Cortelyou smiles and says moth
ing, but Cortelyou announced when
he opened his headquarters that he
would not express his opinions In in
| terviews.

IRISH LAND PURCHASE

LONDON, Sept. 22.-The success
ful working of the land purchase sys-
tenn in Ireland is once more the chief
feature Of the annual report Of the
land commission which has just been
issued. On November last there
were $3.50 tenant purchasers, who
owed $2.S56.SSO in respect of the
half yearly instalments under the
land purchase acts of 1885 and 1891.
On July 81 only $50 persons were
still in arrears. owing $12,195. Dur
ing the year the land commission
found 1t necessary to advertise for
sale the holdings of IS defaulters,
but 63 of these paid up all arrears
Thus. only % persons out of nearly
10000 purchasing tenants failed ul-
timately to fulfil their obligations to
the state. and lost their holdings
The result speaks well for the secur-
ity which the Irish tenant affords for
government loans to facilitate a sys-
tenn of land purchase.

French Socialist leaders who adopted

the resolutions is much enhanced by
the fact that the party of JauEes and

in the French Parliament. If the dis

sion of war should ever be accomplish
ed it would not be due TO the exer-
tions of executives and diplomats, but
to those of the direct representatives
