COOKED FRUIT IS TASTY.

Our neglect of gooseberries is not easy to explain. They are almost as rich in flavor as some of the fruits thusiastic, and for cooking there are few fruits as good.
 The French appreciate them more than any other nation. Most Ameri- cans know them nowadays chiefly through the preserves that come here from Bar-le-D Due.
 They have begun to appear in the French restaurants and bakeries all ready, but they arouse little interest in New Workers. No kind of tart Is bet ter. The fruit must be well cooked, and needs as rule plenty of sugar. al- though some of them are sweeter nat. urally than others.
 Possibly the French pastry in which they are used would make more i'm presslon on New Workers if the berries were sometimes better cooked. Often the fruit is neither raw nor cooked, merely half cooked, like the cherries and other filling for the tarts they sell.
 Better than this is the use of tine gooseberry preserved. since 1t retains the original flavor and is at least not raw to the taste.
 The same is true of much of the French pastry that is served in some of the best restaurants.
 Half cooked cherries. apples merely heated through. pineapple that would be better if it were altogether raw or really cooked-these combinations sug- gest something of the chilling combina- tion of the ordinary strawberry short cake of commerce. It Is better fin all such cases to use the preserved fruit. although the restaurants would not be willing to pay the additional expense. The best of the patisseries still use preserved fruit. although the fresh is in many cases in market. and their cakes are the best.
 Nothing could be more delicious than n crisp pastry tart filed with the large German preserved strawberries and covered with thick cream that has been favored with good brandy and allowed to stand on ice until it is al- most frozen.
 The preserved gooseberrics. or those that have been thoroughly cooked in sugar without boiling them into a pulp. make just as good filling and are rarer. If the juice of the gccseber- ry hss not sufficient flavor. it can he had in the form of an extract at one Of the French shops near Fifth ave nue
 This same importer has strawberry. raspberry and peach flavor in the same convenient form. It is in every case the color of the fruit and may be pour ei over tarts and pudding to intensify the flavor of the fruit without the pos sibiiity of detecting the fact that the juice does not come from the fresh fruit. This extract is made in Paris from the genuine fruit and is free from any other taste.

Branford Representative Went Back F0urteenYears to Look Up Record of As- sociate Judge Tyner of New Haven.

Hartford, June 21.-To,day's session of the house was devoted almost ex- clusively to calendar matters, chief among them being two bills regulating the speed of automobiles on roads of the state.
 The resolution appointing Richard B. Tyner associate judge of the city court of New Haven caused long discussion. A number of representa- lives spoke strongly in support of MT Tyner and told of his high social and business standing.
 Representative Averill of BranfOrd, who was opposed to his appointment, read from the Iowa court of records of fifteen years ago certain matters re- lating to MT Tyner. If the records are incorrect" he said, "NIr Tyner was much abused man. If they are cor rect, Mir Tyner is a fugitive from jus tice."
 Representative Southwick of Corn wall said that Mir Tyner had suffered more than sufficient penalty for his offense. "A righteous life for fourteen years was sufficient to wipe out that blemish.'
 The appointment was made by a vote giving Mir Tyner a large majority.
 By the action of the senate this morning in adopting the report of the railroad committee the demurrage question went over to the next general assembly.

The sum of $1,OO0 is appropriated to each of the two commissions to bear the expense of procuring designs, plans and specifications. The reports will be submitted to the next general assem- bly.
 The special order of business this noon in the senate was the resolution to make certain railroad bonds lega! investments for savings banks. The bill which admitted bonds of the At lantic Coast Line was passed without discussion. There was lengthy dis cussion on the bill admitting the bonds of the Consolidated Railroad Co. Sen ator Atwood chairman of the commit tee, in answer to question by Sen ator Judson, said he did not consider the bonds proper investments for sav- ings banks. An amendment by Sen- ator Chatfield to admit bonds of all constituted companies, already ac- quired, was lost by a vote of 2S to 3.

Organizer Brooke Failed to Lecture at
 CenferYtIIe.

Centerville.
 Centerville, April 19.-(Special)- Cn yesterday H. |. Brooke, State Or ganizer of the Cotton Growers Asso- citation, was billed to deliver lecture at this place. but for some reason he failed to come. Quite a number of farmers came to town to near him. and remained until after the afternoon train. but were disappointed. The frost at this place was quite heavy during the first part of the week, and did much damage in the community. Some of the farmers who had cotton up are planting over, and there Is complaint that some damage was done to corn. Many gardens were badly damaged.
 The farmers seem to be considerably discouraged at the low price of cot ton, as cotton is now selling at this market for less than seven cents. They say they see but little to cen- courage them so far as raising cot good price here now, and many of the farmers on the river have considerable quantities of corn to sell, The supreme court of Alabama a few days since affirmed the case of Greedy Barnham Grocery Company vs. J. M. Cottingham, which case was appealed in the circuit court of Bibb County, This was the third time the case had been to the supreme court. and it had become quite a noted case in Bibb County. Cottingham at the last trial of the case before jury won 1t and the supreme court sustained the decis- ion. It Is reported that the court costs in this case now amounts to more than $1,000.
