DESSERT FOR THE LUNCHEON.
New Way In Which Apples Can Be
Cooked and Served.

A change In a luncheon dessert may
be made by cooking apples in this way
and using them on occasion: Allow
to every pound Of peeled and cored
fruit three-fourths Of a pound OF
sugar, the rind of Il lemon and the
Juice of half a lemon. Put the apples
into a stone jar in a pan of boiling
water, and boil until the apples are
tender. Then put them into the pre-
serving pan with the sugar, lemon
juice and the rinds grated. Let these
simmer gently for half an hour, re-
move the scum, and put into jars,
covering when cold.
Good Housekeeping says: Oysters
seldom are Dreaded and fried at home
successfully. The mistake which most
cooks make Is to encase them in egg
and bread crumbs. This rarely is a
success. The coating comes off, CIV
ing to the oysters a piebald appear
ance, and they usually are overlooked
In the attempt to brown them evenly.
Select sound oysters which have just
been opened. Flatten each slightly and
lay them in fresh milk. Prepare a
mixture of equal parts of flour and
sifted cracker crumbs. Oyster or rich
butter crackers are good for this pur-
pose. Let the fat be very hot. Drain
the oysters one by one and dip them

The Origin of

Like Many Others of Our Customs,
They Were imported from

The custom OF making New Years

are one of the main features Of the
brilliant and lengthy New Years cell
ebration.

each OF his superiors, and receives
one from each Of his interiors. I'm

ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON.
Tart Reply to His Cordial Greeting
of Old Friend.

The late Edward Atkinson used to
tell the following story at his W ex'
pense: In his boyhood he vas one OF
a number of boys who used to play
ball on the Boston common, which
was then against the law. At regular
intervals old Erastus Clapp, the con
stable, would bear down upon the tres
passers and put them to flight. The
boys used to have great fun with this
rather choleric old manifestations
Clapp the boys dubbed him.
One day after Mr.. Atkinson had
grown up into a prosperous and re
spected business man, while passing
along a Boston street in company with
a friend, he recognized in a bent and
wizened old man the likeness of his
old acquaintance, Constable Clapp
Mr.. Atkinson Immediately addressed
the old fellow.
Don't you remember me. Mr.
Clapp?" he asked.
The old man leaned on his stick
and surveyed Mr.. Atkinson colby

ed to hobble en-.
why, I'm Eddie Atkinson, whom
you used to CHASE OF the common
years ago.
Clapp glared at him s%uspiciously
and finally put an end to the inter
view, much to the amusement Of Mr.
Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply;
well, sir, no honest boy over had
cause to run from me-"

A June New Years
on the Nile Banks.
The Ancient Egyptians Started the
Year with the Raise Of the
River.

In all ages and all lands much i'm
portance has been attached to New
Years day, In Egypt the new year
fell between the 18th and the goth
of June, and was called the night
u the drop" The sacred Nile was
thought to flow down from heaven.
and at its lowest ~ebb-about the mid.
die Of June--a tear from Isis fell
into the stream and caused 1t to
rise.
Consequently at this season the
priests and people kept a sleepless
vigil at the rivers shore, watching
for the miraculous rise which should
bring such riches to the whole land.
When the might Of the drop came.
the priests cleared the affairs Of old
ashes and lighted the sacred fires
for the new year,
Every n Of the faithful carried q
coal from the altar to light the fire
at his own hearth, and from end to
end the land was ablaze with light.
The people put off their old garments
and arrayed themselves in white, IN.
ointing their heads with sacred oil,
browning themselves with flowers
and bearing palms In their hands,
while chants and songs and fasting
and professions filled the homes.

NeW Years Is a

However, If thay lived In France,
New Years day would be a great occa-
sion, especially for girls, for there
every man or boy gives some gift, no
matter how small, to his friends. No
one paying q call would think Of going
empty,handed, and little French girls
at school on the I'd of January count
UP how many presents they received,
Just as our girls do after Valentines
day.
A favorite gift is candy. Sometimes
this candy is made into temples,
churches or playhouses; or all sorts
OF queer forms like bundles of carpets,
boots and shoes, musical Instruments,
gridirons, saucepans, Holsters, crabs,
books and hats are made of colored
sugar, followed out and filled inside
with chocolates, minis and other bon.

sEcRET OF GOOD COFFEE.
Best Ingredients and Proper Making
Are Necessary.

The secret of good coffee lies IA
having the best ingredients and IN
the proper making. says a writer in
the New York World. BY the best in
gradients are meant those delightful
coffees grown on well-watered noun
tain slopes, such as the famous Java
and Mocha coffees, the Mocha and
Java mixed half and half. 1t is best
to pareh the coffee grains just before
making the coffee, but II this is not
convenient the coffee a be bought
parched in the grain, but never
ground. 1t should be ground imme-
iiately before using, in order to pre-.
serve the delicious favor.
Good coffee should eve be boiled.
Bear this in mind. The good Creole
cook never boils coffee, but insists on
dripping 1t in a covered strainer, slow
ly, slowly, drip, drip, drip, till all the
flavor Is extracted. The water must
be freshly boiled, and must never be
poured upon the grounds until 1t has
reached the boiling point.

This point is only too often over.
looked, and yet the coffee-pot re-
quires more than ordinary care, for
the reason that the chemical action OF
the coffee upon the tin or agate tends
TO create a substance which collects
and clings to every crevice and seam,
and, naturally. in the course of time
will affect the flavor of the coffee.
Very often the fact that the coffee
tastes bitter or muddy arises from
this.
