Albino Fishes.
From the New York Sun.

The Aquarium has now a remarkable
collection OF albino trout, including, from
the state fish hatchery at Bath. four
albino lake trout, each twenty-one or
twenty-five inches in length and weigh
ing about three pounds, and from the
state FISH hatchery at Caledonia twenty
nine albino lake trout running about
twelve inches in length and weighing Il
pound and a half each. and one albino
brown trout of about fifteen inches in
length and about two pounds in weight.
These albino trout, which are all of
clear cream white, including their fins,
with no color about them except that of
their characteristic bright ruby red eyes,
are all remarkable, the larger ones
notably so because of their size.
In its natural coloring the lake trout
shows on its upper body white or grayish

the same color but of different weave
would look in a woven fabric, but these
spots show so family that they would
never be noticed by one unfamiliar with

casual eye these fishes present bodies of
solid unbroken white.
The lake trout Is a handsome hsh and
these albino trout are perfect specimens
without blemish. They appear not as
freaks. but simply as graceful and beau

greater advantage by contrast the larger

Apple Butter.

The foundation for apple butter is
boiled cider. If you prefer to make your
own, simply cook sweet cider in porce-
lain kettle until reduced to half its origi-
nal bulk. To one gallon boiled cider al
low half bushel tart, juicy apples,
greetings, Baldwins or any kind that will
cook quickly.
Peel. core and quarter, cut in small
pieces and put in the kettle with the
cider as many as can be covered with the
cider. When the apples are soft, skim
out and add more, until all are cooked.
Then mash soft. Put all together again
in the cider and cook slowly until thick
like marmalade. Stir and mash often,
using for this purpose a wooden spoon or
paddle. An easy way to cook the but
ter where you have a medium hot, steady
oven is to put the butter in some crooks,
your butter spicy add to each gallon OF
sauce a teaspoonful each grated nutmeg,
cinnamon and allspice. Add when the but
ter is nearly done.

tering and coring the fruit, covering with
cold water and simm ering three or four
hours until tender. AT the same time. In
another kettle, cook paringS, seeds and
cores with water to cover. Strain, add to
the cooked fruit with sugar three-quar-
