A Few Words Abou, Apples

The reason why apples are 80 much more
Wholesome and d,grstble when they are
roasted. boiled or baked i, because the heat
thus applied breaks down the c.lh u the
apple and thus she acid and the sugar
contained in than are more generally dif
fused through the apples, aed the moisture
Is also dispersed.
\ Freueh way Of cooking apples which
we have seldom come across. excepting in
the homes of those who have lived IN tina,
country : a. follows Core and pare your
apples aud place them in a baking tin, haY-
ing filed the space left By the removal Of the
oore with batter brown and sugar Sprin.

delicious
An apple and orange salad IS also very
nice and little known way of using apples
Slice the oranges, after removing skin and
scrapinS of the pulp, inIo bowl. mix
with the slices some apples Gus into quart
ers or eighths Put plenty Of sugar in
between each layer and mix we'll Let
this be made about an hour before you
need to use it. 1t l. a nice dish, for the
oranges give a very delicate aavor to the
apples, and both g very well together
Apples are considered wholesome even
when eaten raw. One taken at breakfast
every morning Is supposed to be good for
the complexion, and those who suffer from
liver trouble or gout would do well to use
them. Apples are considered to be Of
high value as brain food, owing 10 the
amount Of phosphorus they contain. Dys-
Peptics are often ordered apples, and, curl
ously enough, they are preventive Of
jaundice.
When tickling sensation in your throat
warns you of the coming Of a cough, you
would find a tablespoonful of the pulp Of a
roasted apple taken at night great relief.
Stewed apples placed in the centre Of a
rice pudding make variety in that every
day dish. When the rice has been cooked
on the fire pour it into pie dish, and
make space for the apples in the middle.
Small pieces of butter scattered over the
top and some brown sugar are a great i'm
proyement Bake in a slow oven.

Penitentiary Report.

The report of Warden Weyler of the Mary
land Penitentiary for 1906 is most gratifying.
With net surplus of $50, 462.07 to its credit
with the State of Maryland, the Penitentiary
has made its banner record as an institution,
fulfilling its purpose as prison ard also prov
ing great financial aid to the State.
Not only did the institution earn the above
amount for the State during the present year,
but the prisoners earned for themselves, by
working overtime, almost an amount equal to
that earned by the State-the sum Of $780,
134. "a.
During the past Is years the institution has
paid into the State Treasury 1928, 1865 SO.
Prior to 1888, when Warden Weyler was APP
pointed TO his present office, the institution
had been run at a dead loss to the State. In
1890 il earned $1,991.64. In 1888 the pris-
oners earned for themselves S7,S3S.43, as
against $50, 1874. "a earned this year.
Warden Weyler's report is only formal in
construction aud the facts and information
contained in it are interesting. During the
year, 149 white men, 5 white women, 226
colored men and 80 colored women were ad-
mitted, making a total of 4l0 prisoners re
ceived in the institution up to the close of his
report. The number of prisoners discharged
during the year by expiration Of sentence was
81, while "a were pardoned by the Governor.
The number remaining in prison Is 997, eight
less shan at the close of the fiscal year 1904.
OF the 997 now in the institution there are
$40 white men, 8 white women, $50 cclored
men and 80 colored women. The highest
number in prison during the year was 1923.
the lowest 96S. The daily average was 9983.
OF the entire uumer of prisoners in the
Penitentiary during the year, only about
per cent. were non productive, but these were
employed on the necessary work about the
hn COS tlf
prisoners was $lO4.0S making the daily cost
of 263 cents. The total receipts from all
sources during the year was $40, 424 66; the
disbursements, Sl03, 932 SO, ami this last
amount includes every item Of expense, such
as food, laundry, medicines, water rent, sala-
ries, insurance, repairs and the maintenance
of the buildings.

Roads and Farm Values.

The last Federal census of 1900 showed
that farm values lad increased during the pre-.
ceeding ten wears some p per cent. for the
whole United States, only four states showing
& falling off in valuations. The Census Com
missioner calls attention to the fact that
Massachusetts showed an increase, whereas
formerly it had shown a decrease, and this
change in values he attributes entirely to high.
way improvements in that state, because farm
values commenced to rise as roads began to
be improved.
A most striking instance Of the relation
between the value of rural real estate and the
condition of the road system turns up IN this
State in Talbot county. A well known Bal
timore business man who owned farm about
three miles from Easton has been trying to
sell out for several years. The agent would
get prospective buyers TO Easton, they would
take team and start 10 drive out 10 the farm.
For the first two miles out of Easion the road
is pretty good but for the last mile the road is
the usual poor country road of Maryland. As
soon as they struck the poor road it was all
off so far as selling bis farm was concerned
This farm has been assessed At sb,uoO.OO Tor
q number of years. Although the owners
sale price was somewhat higher this figure may
be taken as a fair valuation Of the property.
A few weeks ago the county started to !m
prove this mile Of poor road under the state
Aid Law. Although this improvement is
still unfinished perhaps half mile Of road
being about completed, the property vas sold
last week at figure which we understand
from good authority to have been ST. SOC. 90.
The agent in Easton who effected the deal
attributes the sale and the high price which
the property brought entirely 10 Coed Roads.
The argument that good roads increase farm
valnes is not a new one and We have All
heard it used here in Maryland by the sdyo
Gates Of improved highways, but it is seldom
that so striking an illustration as the one just
related brings the truth home % Us. l. is
simply another instance of increasing values
with good roads which ha; been the common
experience in Massachusetts. New Jersey aud
all the other states where good roads have
been constructed. Such instances as this will
90 q long way toward convincing our more
skeptical citizens aud making them warm
advocates of road Improvement

Fine Train Ran Empty.

A passengerless flyer, running the length
of Pennsylvania, was the queer proposition
that confronted railroad men on Christmas
day. The Pennsylvania limited left Jersey
City on December %, at lila, arriving at
Pittsburg at 9.35. The remarkable thing
about the trip is that there vas not passen.
ger on the train from the time it left Jersey
City until it reached Pitsburg.
Not passenger YVES taken on the train at
any of the exclusive points where it stopped
for passengers or to change engines or crews.
The train carries more employees than any
other train on the Pennsy-eleven besides the
dining car force of walters and chefs.
Railroad men claim that the passing of a
passenger train through Pennsylvania on the
Pennsylvania Railroad without fare has
never before occurred in the history Of the
company.

Light For Liberty Statue.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 7-Congressmau
Joseph A. Goulden, representing the Eight
teenih Congressional District Of New York in
the House Of Representatives, has acted in
accordance with the wishes of large number
of New Workers, when he introduced the bill
asking for an appropriation of $4,000 70 be
used in supplying an electrical equipment
sufficient TO adequately illuminate the statue
of liberty by Bartholdi, which stands on Bed
loe Island in New York harbor and is supposed
to illuminate that harbor at night. Ever since
the government took over the statue in 1903,
only So, 500 a year has been allowed for the
purpose of maintaining the light in the torch
Of the statue. The inadequacy of the light
has been ridicued by thousands Of visitors
and for long time there has been a strong
sentiment in favor of adding in some way to
the illumination so as TO make the outlines Of
the statue visible at night.
