SWEEP APPLES AS FOOD.  There are very few people who seem to know what a healthful, nourishii,g, appetising and satisfying use can be made of this fruit. Baked and served with cream they make a light and most delicious dessert. Sliced, and used in puddings of various sorts, they save other sweetening, and give a grateful element of freshness to the dish. And this suggests that one reason why baked apples of any kind fall into disfavour in many families is because they are not fresh. A tinful or two is baked up "to save time," and they come upon the table more and more dead and dilapidated, shrunken and slippery, Luta the very sight of them discourages and sickens the family. A baked apple over one day old is past its prime; and an apple, like an egg, that "has seen better days," we don't want to exercise our charity on. But it is in putting the finishing touch on a bowl of bread and milk, that baked sweet apples find their highest mission. Given milk that is pure and fresh ; bread that is both foreordained and perfected in grace for such a use, which means home-made, milk-rising bread, a little stale, light, moist and sweet; and a plate of apples just done through, and only long enough out of the oven to have lost their heat without getting really cold—and you have a lunch fit for a king; too good, indeed, for most of the men who are in "the king business." The dish has the three elements of nutriment found in bread, milk and fruit; and if there is anything better than this combination the fact hasn't leaked out yet, either through science or experience. One meal a day of bread and sweet apples, for children and people of sedentary habits, would be better than the food which costs much more in time and money, that many of them now Indulge in. A pinch of salt, or a spoonful of lime water will prevent the unpleasant effect which milk has on some stomachs. No keen appetite is required to give relish to such a lunch, and no digestion that is good for anything has any trouble with it after it is eaten.  illS greattleas must needs fall which is not founded on goodness. Never put a curb on humanity; we aro too apt to stop without it. Better that a house be too small for a night than too large for a year. A covetous man is a dog in a wheel, that roasteth moat for others.  People's intentions can only be decided from their conduct.  A man has no right to occupy such high moral grounds that he is constantly so far above his fellows that he can be of no earthly assistance tothem. Life is divided into three terms. That which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better for the future.
