MADE WITH APPLES
THREE DISHES THAT ARE AL.
WAYS SEASoNABLE.
Apple Ginger Not Hard to Prepare,
and Will Remain Good a Long
Time-Recipe for Butter
and Jelly.

Apple Ginger-Two pounds Of any
kind of hard apples, two pounds of loaf
sugar, one and one-half pints of water,
one ounce of tincture of ginger. Boil
the sugar and water until they form
rich sirup, adding the ginger when
it boils up. Pare, core and cut the
apples into pieces; dip them in cold
water to preserve the color, and boil
them in the sirup until transparent,
but be careful not to let them break.
Put the pieces of apple into jars,
pour over the sirup and carefully ex-
clude the air by well covering them.
1t will remain good for some time II
kept in dry place.
Apple Butter-Boil one barrel of
new cider down half, peel and core
three bushels Of good cooking apples;
when the cider has boiled to half the
quantity add the apples and when soft
stir constantly for from eight to ten
hours. If done it will adhere to an in
verted platt. Put away in stone jars
(not earthenware) covering first with
writing paper cut to fit the jar, and
press down closely upon the apple but
ter; cover the whole with thick brown
paper snugly tied down.
Apple Jelly-Apples, water; to every
pint Of sirup allow three-quarters Of
pound of loaf sugar Pare and cut
the apples into pieces, remove the
cores and put them in preserving
pan with sufficient cold water to cover
them. Let them boil for an hour;
then drain the sirup from them
through hair sieve or jelly bag and
measure the Juice; to every pint allow
three-quarters of a pound Of loaf sugar
and boil these together for three-quar-
ters of an hour, skimming every par
ticle off same as it rises and keeping
the jelly well stirred, that it may not
burn. A little lemon rind may be
boiled with the apples and small
quantity Of strained lemon juice may
be put in the jelly just before it is
done, when the flavor is liked 1t
should be stored away in small pots.

TO MAKE CREAM WHIP.
Addition Of GranuIated Sugar 10 High.
ly Recommended.

Many housekeepers who like
whipped cream as an accompaniment
for broths, chocolate or desserts think
they must order cream of a special
richness. This generally must be done
the day before and always costs double
the price of ordinary cream.
One young woman discovered last
winter way of easily making her
daily supply of cream whip. She
merely added teaspoonful of granu-
lated sugar to every pint, had it ice
cold and quickly whipped it to thick
froth in the churn.
A special whipped cream churn is,
by the way, an investment that pays
for every housekeeper. The old meth
ods of using fork and skimming off
froth as 1t comes to the surface is a
waste OF time that the modern woman
cannot afford.

country's Consumption of Paper.

Represented graphically, the United
States now consumes yearly a roll OF
white paper $50 feet high and 377
feet in diameter. From the top of
such roll of paper one can peer
down in Imagination on the tower of
the new Singer building in New York
1t would weigh, all told, about 2,7OO,-
900 tons, and to produce it would have
required some sS,S0O,0 900 worth of rags
some s7,400,000 worth of old or waste
paper and some s2O,S000OO worth of
wood pulp, to say nothing of other
essentials.-Boston Transcript

Ancestors Of Present Foxes.

X. Toldt of Vienna, has produced
what he and others regard as virtually
conclusive evidence that foxes are de-
scended from ancestors whose bodies
were clothed with horny scales, like
those of the pangolins, or scaly ant
eaters This evidence is based upon
the examination of the skins of young
foxes, and depends not only upon the
arrangement of the hairs, but upon the
fact that the skin itself exhibits a
structure such as would be shown by
hat of a pangolin after the removal
of the scales.

Sausage, unless some qualifying
term is employed, is mixture of
chopped pork, veal and beef. At any
rate, that is the decision of the recent
International congress for the repres-
sion of food and drug frauds. The
Paris butchers do not like this defini.
ton, and insist that sausage proper
contains nothing but the meat Of pigs.
They asked that qualifying terms be
used when beef or veal is mixed with
the pork, but were overruled. 1t is
rather late in the day to dispute over
sausages, says the Youths Companion.

lineage. King, in his curious and in.

Relics OF the primitive occupants of

On one occasion when the servants

converted into relics for distribution
among members Of the Kennon family.

Or. Sinclair said: 1T is built OF I'M

At the time of its erection the house
stood on the Colonial frontier, tiny
