Few New Workers. know the true rich
ness of the New YORK fruit markets.
Almost every year new fruits with pc.
culiar virtues. the special iavorite OF
some portion OF the city polyglot in.
habitants make their appearance In
some part o. the town. Many OF these
are left to the particular people who
know them, states the Sun.
Now and then visitor to the italian
quarter Is betrayed into buying prickly
pears and trying to eat them raw and
undressed. lie never does II again.
though bushels OF them are bought and
eaten by the inhabitants of the quarter.
II the casual visitor would learn the art
of making prickly pears into salad he
would understand perhaps why the Ital-
ians like them
Another OF the odd fruits OF the Italian
markets is pineapple, or. more accu-
rately, pine cone. In form II is like the
pineapple with which everybody Is IA
miliar but in odor and color It is quite
different matter.
II is very large pine cone, SO thick
and solid that 1t often weighs as much
as two or three pounds. The biggest
cost from Eve to ten cents. and the small
est may be had at the rate OF two for
five cents.
In its natural condition II looks as II
you'd have TO open 1t with Ratchet or
an oyster knife. Take 1t home and place
It for a few days in warm place, or, II
you are In hurry. put It for 10 minutes
in a moderately hot oven. and 1t spreads
all its wings. Beseath each ohiplike
you find a meaty seed, and this is what
the Italians eat. A big cone will yield
more than half a pint of seeds.
Figs are another neglected fruit,
though they are sold on all stands and
In every fruit store. Those who know
buy them in considerable quantities and
make them into delicious jams and pre-
serves.
One OF the best OF these is a mixture
OF figs, rhubarb and orange peel, which
Is good as soon as It Is made, and can
be kept indefinitely in properly sealed
vessels.
Probably nobody in town except the
people of the Swedish colony ever eats
the Swedish equivalent OF the cranberry
called lngon. Yet the fruit is imported
by the hogshcad. and sold in quart jars
with quantity Of its Own magenta red
Juice at very moderate price. Compe-

Then the fIapjack, which should meas

and sugar the huckleberry hapjack II
unsurpassed.
New Workers are wasteful in the mat
ter OF fruit as In other things. Tons o
peaches are wasted in the season b,
housewives who throw away the par
ings.
In the regions where peaches arr
grown the value OF the parings is recog
nlzed. and they are converted into jams
jellles and fascinating conserve know
- peach leather. The name is not al
Turing, but the thing is excellent.
II is the parings sugared and rolle'
into disks that look like slices Of role,
Jelly cake, In the same way the inedibl
part of the watermelon is put up witt
sugar as a substitute for citron.
A real clever housewife could fill he
Jam closet for the winter by using tn
odds and ends of fruit that sell to d
New York family throws away.
