Stewed Apples.

To stew apples so each quarter is
unbroken and so clear one can almost
see through it is an art, and yet it is a
simple thing to do if one only knows
how. Peel tart apples very thin, cut
them in quarters and remove the cores
and seeds. As fast as you can peel and
quarter them drop the apples in a
saucepan in which you have already
placed cold water to the depth of two
inches. When the apples are all in. put
the saucepan over a slow fire. cover it
till the water reaches the boiling point
then remove the cover and let the ap
piles simmer almost imperceptibly till
You can pierce them easily with a
broom splint; then sprinkle the sugar
over them and let them. just simmer
until it is all melted. Remove the
saucepan from the fire and let it stand
where the apples will get cold before
turning them into dish for the table.

LIQUID PORES.
An Entertaining Experiment With AL
cohoi and Water. =


1t is not easy to imagine liquids as
having pores, though this seems to be
the case as shown by certain familiar
experiments. When certain amount
of powdered sugar is slowly poured
into warm water. the water will dis
solve the sugar and appear to absorb
it without increasing its volume. Sim
ilarly. when alcohol is poured into wa
ter the resulting volume is less than
the sum of the two volumes.
For instance if fifty parts of water
and fifty parts OF alcohol be mixed to-
gether they will make only ninety-four
parts. Apparently one of the liquids
has entered into the pores" of the
other. This experiment, as commonly
performed in laboratories. consists in
putting measured quantities of the two
liquids together, but the effect would
be far more striking were it possible
for students to see one of the liquids
actually soaking" into the other. This
can be done in the following way:
Take two glasses, one filed to the
brim with water and the other with
alcohol. In order to show the effect
to better advantage, color the alcohol
with red ink. The glasses should not
be over fuil-that is. the surface of the
liquid should not bulge above the rim
of the glass. When everything is
ready, place sheet of paper over the
glass full of alcohol, and with hand
on tive paper to keep it down on the
rim of the glass invert the tumbler,
and the liquid will remain in the glass,
owing to the air pressure on the paper.
Now place the inverted lumber over
the glass full of water and carefully
draw out the paper. This can be done
without splitting drop of alcohol, and
yet as soon as the paper is removed
the alcohol will commence to drop.
Owing to the fact that it is cOlOred il
is possible to see the alcohol actually
soaking into the water. while tiny
air bubbles that were formerly contain
ed in the pores" of the water rise
slowly to the top of the tumbler. This
will continue for some little time until
a considerable air space forms in the
top of the tumbler.

Remarkable Daring and Goodness In
an Alpine Accident.
The architect Violet lie Due was one
day on the Schwarzenberg glacier at
a height of about 5000 feet, accOmpa-
MED by Baptiste, the guide, who
marched in front. The two men were
attached to each other by rope, as is
usual in Alpine mountaineering.
The guide had passed over crevasse,
to cross it he failed and fell into the
abyss. The guide tried to pull him
out, but instead he found himself
gradually descending.
The. architect perceived that his
companion if he persisted in the at
tempt to save him would surely share
his fate. and he asked if Baptiste had
a family.
"A wife and child en." was the an
swer.
"Then," said Violet lie Due quietly,
II shall cut the rope"
He did so and fell. but block of
ice thirty feet lower down stopped his
descent. When Baptiste saw this and
that for time the danger was lessen
ed he went in search of help and re-
turned with four stout peasants. Three
hours afterward Violet lie Due was ex-
treated.
In spite of his perilOuS position the
ruling passion was strong with the
artist, for, although he was almost GOV
