MORE APPLE RECIPES.

Because the apple is fruit which
may be found in almost any part Of
the globe, and is also reasonably
cheap in price, many ways Of serving
the fruit should be kept in mind.
Baked Apple Ice cream.-Pare, core
and quarter ten tart apples, cock with
sugar and lemon juice or spice. Add
more sugar, if necessary When cold,
add~a quart of rich milk and cream,
mixed, with cup of sugar, scaldeG
and cooled, then freeze as any ice
cream. Be sure that the mixture is
quite sweet before freezing.
Taffy Apples.-Take small, firm, red
apples with good stem, wash and
steam until tender; let cool Pour
into deep sauce pan pound of su-
gar and cup of water; boil until a
little dropped in water is brittle.
When it begins to look yellow at the
bottom of the pan, remove it from the
fire and set it into dish of hot wa
ter, add a teaspoonful of lemon juice
and dip each apple quickly into the

Masked Apples.-Take as many fine

teaspoonful of lemon juice over each
apple; powder thiekly with sugar. and

boiled custard, fiavoring with lemon

From the New York Sun.
Berlin-Bavaria. which is celebrated for
its beer and its mountain scenery. as well
as for its music. is now becoming cele-
brated throughout Germany on account
of its model village, which incidentally
is claimed as the most honest in all
Europe.
In the last hundred years not a single
case of theft has been recorded. either
i'm the village or in the immediate neigh
borhood. But what is still more remark
able. il has done its best to conceal its
record from the general public, and it is
only by accident that the fact has be-
come known.
Dezemacker. near Ingolstadt. has been
attempting for some time past to per-
srade the Bavarian authorities that IL
stands in no need of night Waterman.
As il is an isolated village of only 80
Inhabitants. it is impossible to give 1t
the benefits OF the rural police force, and,
as in all such cases under Bavarian ad-
n,inistration IL is compelled to satisfy
the authorities with an amateur night
watch. At present there are twenty
young men on tn roll for this service,
and they take II in turns, year in and
year out
Latterly. however. some of the younger
cnes have found the duty rather irk-
some, and have been asking whether it
Is necessary. The village discussed the
E'atter from house TO house, and the de-
cision was absolutely unanimous the
night watch was unneeded.
To one authority after another the viii
layers addressed themselves in their
hopes of obtaining release from the
onerous rule They searched the records
Of the court and found no mention Of the
village more recent than in the middle
of the eighteenth century. This point
has now been made the central feature
in a petition that is to be addressed
broadcast to the people of Bavaria.

Many new faces were consequently
seen at Kokomo, but il was only mat

operation predominated in all depart

consider directly responsible for the
present success of the company.
''Our field representatives have done

Man Who struck OIL.

From the Wall Street Journal.
Fifty-four years ago, or TO be exact,
on August q. 1859. oil was struck in
Western Pennsylvania at a spot which
bore the picturesque name of Pithole,
now a deserted village. but at one time
the scene OF epochmakinG activities.
The man who discovered oil by boring
for it was a picturesque character. of
an adventurous disposition, by the name
of Edwin L. Drake, widely known under
the title of colonel. He had observed
traces, of oil on the surface of stream
near Titusyille and he resolved to sink
a well to secure this commodity in large
quantities and to replace the crude
methods which the Indians of Western
Pennsylvania employed. They immersed
however, on account of the medicinal
qualities of the crude oil than for its
commercial values and uses.
1t is proposed by the people of Titus
vile, Oil City, and other cities in the
oil regions to erect a monument to Drake
to mark the spot where the first oil well
was sunk. A Drake memorial museum
already has been established at Titus
Vile.
The history of the early production of
oil in the oil regions of Western Pennsyl-
vania reads like "a romance. founded,
however, on the most solid structure
of fact
1t is a fact that the discovery of oil
was one of the most vital in the history
of the United States. 1t seems fitting
that some shaft or monument should
mark the place where Drake had the
prescience to sink the first oil well.
which. increased so amazingly the wealth
of this country and added so much to
the comforts of life

POLKA ONCE UNDER BAN.
From the Duluth Herald.

From the Duluth Herald
In view of/the discussions of the NOR
ality of modern dances, II is interesting
10 note that there was a time when so
mollycoddish a dance as the polka ere
ated an outcry of viTtuous protest.
A correspondent of the London Times
produces a letter written a century ago
by Elizabeth Spencer Stanhope, which re-
fleets sentiment about the new dance:
Lady Elizabeth gave a very success
full ball, where for the first time in Lon
don the polka was danced In public, and
people stood upon chairs and rout-seGts
TO watch II. - Mr.. Theodore Hook
declared that the obnoxious dance was
calculated to lead to the most licen-
tious consequences. Subsequently, the
Sporting Magazine denounced the dance
which. TO the disgrace OF sense and taste,
has obtruded itself into the whole circle
OF the fashionable world. . will
corruptins dance I" . a compound of i'm
modest gesture and infectious poison
Can anybody who has danced the in
nOcuous polka recognize II in these de-
scriptions?
The polka survived all these heated
attacks. and so did the waltz: though
the waltz has been condemned by the
overvirtuous even down to modern times.
Extracts from such criticisms of the
polka and the NRltz would do very well
to use over again in discussing the
tango" the turkey trot." the bunny
hug" and the rest OF the modern freak
dances which are arousing so much al
tercation and apparently giving so much
pleasure to those addicted TO them.
Just where the moral is in this con-
trast of old criticisms of old dances with
modern criticisms of modern dances we
don't know.
The logic of it appears to be that the
modern dances will survive criticism e%-
actly as the polka and the waltz sur
vived the Mortified comments of an older
day.
But II there is any encouragement in
that for those hopeful for the moral prog
ress OF the world il is hard TO find II.
For our part we must confess to being
enough to feel more SYM
pathy with the critics of those up-to-
date dances, with their nasty sugges-
tons. than with their defenders.
