Apple Salad-Cut small round slices

large as possible. Do not spoil the
shapes of the apples. Cut the scoop
nigs in small squares and put them in
bowl. Cut, also the same size, the
same quantity of white celery hearts
and English nuts. Have half pint of
mayonnaise. Mix it with the salad.
and finish with quarter of pint of
whipped cream. Mix gently and serve

DR.. Braman and the FiddIers

The Rev. Milton p. Braman, d. D.,
for thirty-five years pastor OF the
First Church of Danvers, Mass, retir
ing in 1861. was widely known as a
preacher and theologian. He was,
however, conservative to the point OF
bigotry, and eccentric withal One OF
his eccentricities was his determined
opposition TO instrumental music in
church, which he seemed to regard as
little short of sacrilege. Therefore, ii
may readily be understood that when
the parish introduced a first and
second violin and bass as accompani
ment to the singing of the choir, the
doctors ire was aroused, and he took
no pains to conceal it,
On the Sunday after the introduc
ton Of the carnal instruments, wher
the preacher rose to announce the
first hymn, he did it in this wise
The choir will now please to fiddle
and sing 10 the glory OF God the 100tt
Psalm"

Rugs VS.. Carpets.

The hygienic advantages OF floors
covered with removable rugs instead Of
dust collecting carpets are so we'll
known and realized that the tendency
now is to have bare floors and rugs for
the sake Of comfort and convenience as
well as to follow the trend of fashion.
says the Manchester Union. Good hard
wood floors are blessings that certainly
are anything but disguised, for they
always look well, form pleasing con-
trast to any kind of rugs and above all
they are easy to keep clean. In case,
however, one has an old floor Of soft
wood that is hard 10 treat satisfactor-
lily and the laying Of hard floor is not
possible or practical, floor of hard
pine put down on top Of the old floor
may be made to look almost as well as
one Of expensive hard wood. For this
pine floor n stain, one of those espe-
cially prepared, should be used. n light
Or medium color being preferable to
n dark one, and ii should be remem-
bered that several thin coats will wear
much better than one thick one. After
the stain is put OH the floor may be
oiled or vanished with good results.

Costly Butterflies.

The exceedingly high prices often
asked and paid for butterflies are rem
dered possible by the extreme uncer.
tainty of the market. There is no
means of knowing how long a butter
fly will remain a rarity. 1t may con
tinue unique for a quarter OF cen,
fury, or it may become common in tb
course of a few months. A case in
point is that of beautiful blue/b ut
terfy from Brazil. When VI first
specimens of this butterfly Z/re sent
to England years ago, they Sold read
fly for $50 or more apiece. Since then
however, collectors have sent home
numbers, and the price has fallen t.
a paltry 81.

R G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
says;
Lower temperature stimulates retail
trade, and fall openings are largely at
tended, but the weather is not cold
enough to menace late crops that are
maturing most satisfactorily.
Certainty of a successful season on
the farms contributes more than any
other single factor 10 the confidence that
IS felt in all sections of the country
Comparatively little new grain has been
marketed thus far, which is largely due
to the planting of winter wheel and
other preparations for next year that
arc unusually extenSivcS
Manufacturing activity is fully MAIN
tanned, the leading industries having con-
tracts assuring little idle machinery dur
ing the balance of the year, and it is
probable that more business will be car
Rcd over into 1906 than at the Opening
of any previous year.
The growing disposition TO place or
derS for distant delivery testify 10 the
well-nigh universal faith that no setback
VIII be experienced.
Railway traffic reports suggest that
more rolling stock and motive power
could be used if obtainable, as is Gus
tomary at this season, and gross earn
ings thus far reached for September sur
pass last years by IL per cent, which in
turn were 6.5 per cent greater than those
of 1908.
Money is a little Grmer. but there is
no stringency and gold imports were
