Recipe for Apfclstrudel.

.
THE recipe printed recently for apfel-
strudel is nothing like the real thing at all
and so send one which makes it as plain as
possible:
Put one egg and piece of butter the
size of a walnut into baking bowl and set
1t In dish of hot water on the table; beat
hard for five minutes. Then work into 1t
half pound of flour and a level teaspoonful
of salt, and mix we'll, cover with a warm
plate and let 1t stand an hour. Spread a
white tablecloth on the table, sift little
flour on it, and pull your dough out as thin
as you can on the cloth. without tearing the
dough. Sprinkle with apple, currants,
small pieces Of butter, and cinnamon; roll
up like jelly cake and bake. This is the real
thing. The bowl should be taken out of the
hot water after being beaten. MRS. M"

WHY NOT REPAIR |72

Several years ago the village paid
for the construction Of water we'll
on Front street, corner of the allev
next Main street opposite Rheinfrank
hospital. 1t is good well and is of
much benifit to the people in the loc-
ality, AS we'll as others who may seek
a cooling draught, some time past the
pump has been out of commission and
the we'll is practically useless on that
account. For several years Fred Hllla-
brand has paid for the necessary re-
pairs on the pump, but he seems to have
decided that he has paid his share of
the expense. at present the pump is
out Of order and useless. Either the
we'll should be abandoned and filled up
or the pump should be repaired and
kept in condition to make the well of
pratical value. The attention Of the
Council is respectfully directed to this
matter.

oILING FRONT STREET.

The mills of the gods grind slowly
in some respects in Perrysburg, and
this special reference is in regard to
the oiling of Front street, which work
should have been done several weeks
ago.
The work of cleaning away the su-
perfuous dirt that had gathered on
the street during the past season has
been completed and the holes in the
street are being filled with crushed
stone, and the prospects are that ihe
work of sprinkling the oil on the
street will be commenced sooner OF
later-we certainly hope SOONER.
And when that work is done it is
to be hoped that the Director of Pub
lie Safety, or some other officer high
in authority, will kindly superintend
the work and see that the street is
not made lake of oil as was done
last year.
Oil on street is a good thing wher
properly applied, but there is such g
thing as getting too much of good
thing.

SLOW DOWN IN MAuMEE.

The race is not to the swift, but to
the strong in Maumee, and the viii
lage marshal, representing the strong
arm Of the law, is the winner in the
speed contest of that village. Every
Sunday he compels few high geared
drivers to contribute to the village
treasury and thus pay homage to the
laws majesty, and in contemplation
of this new order of things our bard
thus soliloquises:
The sound of revelry by night,
The passing cars incessant hum,
Hath ceased to bid the sleeper wake
With curses heaped on those who run
The frightful demon of his dream,
Whose pace is joy-plus gasoline.
The speeding visitors who pass
AS ships pass, without slack or pause,
Have found pirate haunts their seas
Whose slogan is, "Obey the laws,
Or else as sure as you're alive
Your joys will cost you twenty-five"
No longer seek with reckless speed
To gain through riches, right of way.
Such once was thine and for thy greed
We village townsmen had to pay.
But now the outlook's rather blue
The laws adopted speeding, too.
And this the moral of our tale,
If moral you would seek to find,
That those who haunt this silvan vale
Must do it leisurely this time;
And ignorance is but a flaw
And no excuse before the law.
