DRyISo AND CANNING APPLIES We
always dry our apples in the oven of
the cooking stove as quickly as is pos.
slble to do without cooking them; and
when they are sufficiently dry put
them into thick paper bags, tic them
up securely so that no insects can gain
access TO them, and hang them up for
a while 10 the kitchen before they are
put away in the store.room. Fruit
dried in this way is never wormy, as
the insect moths never get o chance 10
deposit their eggs. When apples are
likely TO be scarce in late winter and
spring, and especially when apples are
keeping poorly, we Gil our cans, that
have been empticd since the canning
season closed, with apples; ifthey are
sweet, we put handful Of raislns 10 q
can TO flavor them. Our pet way Of
putting up sweet apples is TO pare and
then corc them with an apple-corer,
leaving them whole, stick two or three
cloves into each one, and cook them
till soft in a syrup made in the proper
tion Of pint Of sharp vinegar TO a
quart Of sugar. We prefer to keep
them in air.tight cans.

pounds, when made up Of two, three,
and four year old skins respectively.
The company leasing the islands are
permitted to take one hundred thou

tives are paid about forty cents q skin
for the catch. The common or popu-
lar notion regarding seal.skins is that
they are worn by those animals just
as they appear when offered for sale.
This is very great mistake; few
skins are less attractive than the seal
skin as it is taken from that creature.
The fur is not visible, concealed en-.
tirely by coat Of stiff over-hair, dull
gray, brown and gnzxled. The best
of these raw skins are worth from five
to ten dollars, but after dressing they
bring from twenty-five to forty dol
lars, and IL takes from three to five Of

M. e. Church Yesterday After.


noon.


The auditorium of Grace church was
thoroughly filled on Sunday afternoon.
The occasion was the annual autumpal
gathering of the scholars of the school
Of trace and the chapsls of Madley and
Epworth, The pulpit was decorated
IN the most tasty manner. On one side
was a sheaf Of wheat while on the
other was shock of corn. Beneath
the graceful drOppings oflarge bouquets
OF luxuriant Jampas grass placed on
each end of the platform, was arran-
geo bank of vines and foliage
which was almost completely buried
beneath sn exhaustive display
Of antumal fruit, vegetables and
cereals all giving an effect attractive
and pleasing. The space around was
relieved by sprigs of ivory entwining
convenient place here and there and
also by banners.


The exercises began by singing
Come ye who love the Lord" after
which Rev. David Dodd of Madeley
chapel lead in prayer. This was fol-
lowed by the school singing "Our Har-
vest Home"


The infant class edited the audience
with short vocal selection after which
the whole school Joined in singing
"Ring the Glad Bells" The infant
class again took part which was follow
90 by the school singing "Bringing in
the Sheaves."


Rev. DR.. Nixon, pastor of Central
Presbyterian Church, was then intro
duced. Taking up an ear of corn from
the mound ne held it up before the
children and announced to them that
that was to be his text. He then re-
ferred to the growth of the corn, from
the time OF its being dropped into the
soil how it must bs watched how the
ground must be cultivated and how the
germ must be cared for day by day
how man must do this and God must do
more how dust must be scattered, and
now light showers must descend from
Heaven and bathe the earth with their
freshness.


lie applied the simile to childhood,
and continued his analogy. In this he
spoke Of the duty of christians, and
what they were doing toward bringing
up the youth. While man was doing
this, God was doing more, and the re-
suit would be a lying up in the Crane
ries of Heaven.


Notwithstanding this there are tares
being sown. Satan is doing what he
can to mislead the mind of youth. This
unnatural rank growth must ba guard
ed against and eliminated. "What if
this corn," continued he, "would do
just as it pleased would curl itself up
and disdain the cooling draughts from
Heaven, and disregard all that was
good for it, do you think it would -four
ish?


No, nor does it do this. 1t rears its
head thankfully and stretches out its
blades to catch the genial warmth when
God bathes it in sunlight; ror does it
turn away from the gentle rain but
drinks 1t all in and lives on and be-
comes strong and healthy. So will
your children If you do just what is
good for you and religiously guard the
advice that is given you"


The speaker closed by further admon-
ishing the children and advising them
to b. careful of their actions. He was
toilo@ed bv the school singing, els
My Name Written There" and d" Ere
the Sun Goes Down"


DR.. Stevenson, pastor Of the church,
gave a statistical account of the condi-
lion OF the school as follows:

DispOsine OF Liquor 10 Children.


Yesterday afternoon couple of gen.
tlemen passing along the Avenue per-
ceived a lad about 10 years of age
roughly using a child and went to its
assistance. Upon admonishing the boy
they found that the lad was intoxicated.
They further learned that his father
who was then lying drunk at what is
known as the "Weeping Willow" a
low groggery on Adams street below
the Avenue, had made the boy drunk
and had sent him home with the child.
The gentlemen took the intoxicated
boy in charge and took him to his
home in King street near Eleventh.
They talk of bringing complaint against
the keeper of the saloon for not only
selling liquor on Sunday, but for dis.
posing Of it to children.

TIE Baltimore american takes issue with
the sentiment and argument of Professor
LANGsTON's address on the Exodus, and


seems to entertain the opinion that the


ex-saye shall remain in the South and
endure all the ills incident upon his present
condition rather than make an effort to
emancpate himself therelrom. This does
not surprise us. The surroundings Of tn
AmeIicaa have been such as to tint its
views somewhat with the colorings of
slavery Maryland was slave-holding
State, and but for the geographical location
of the seat Of the Government between it
and Virginia, it would no doubt have fol-
lowed that State out of the Union under
the ordinance of secession. II did not go,
simply because it could not but still its
sympathies were with rebellion all the
same, though it was forced by circumstances
TO keep out Of it. Living as it does in the
midst of that sentiment, it is expedient,
perhaps, that the american should show
some Difference TO ii in formulating and
presenting its views on questions kindred
TO the rebellion and its consequences OF
this we make no complaint, but simply
refer to it to show why our cotemporary is
not now among the most stalwart of the
Stalwarts on the question Of the Exodus.

THE idea that the blacks of the South
should remain at their native homes instead
of seeking new ones, and either submit to
the political bondage ofbogus Home Rule or
organize TO resist that oppression, is very
good one-in theory. But the question is,
would four or five millions of whites put
this theory into practice under the existing
circumstances? This theory is based upon
the assumption that they are able to fight
"thc devil with fire." so to speak; that
they can and should out-Ku Klux the
ku Klux, and that they should resent vio-
lence with violence. But those who enter
tain these ideas forget that ever since the
war these people have been instructed
carefully and religiously instructed-to rely
on the courts ofjustice for legal vindication
of their rights, and for redress of personal
and political injuries. This lesson was
assiduously taught by the Freedmen's
Bureau so long rs it remained in existence,
rs well as by the Republican press and
speakers, North and South; and it was a
lesson readily learned by the blacks, who,
rs a mass, are better qualified through the
influences of years and generations of scrvi-
tude to submit to the requirements or die
tates of legally asserted authority than their
domineering white neiShbors are, ever were,
or ever will be. In short, the blacks of the
South are essentially and uuqualihedly q
law-abiding race, and submissive patient
and enduring race-one that will naturally
seek a peaceful solution of their race
troubles rather than assume the risk of meet
ing aggression with return in kind. This
solution, which enables them to avoid dam
ger and evade the responsibility of fighting
for their rights rs citizens, now presents
itself in the Exodus; and they will adopt it,
as many white men would and as it is their
privilege and right to do.

CoNKLIYG His opening campaign speech

namby-pamby kind, weak in its arguments

like those of drastic purgative; and its
power of assisting digestion nullifes those
irritating conditions of the mucous mem

The utility of alternating different kinds of work as means of relaxation is becoming better appreciated than formerly. Recently the question was asked Burlington manufacturer of a certain article why it would not be more profitable to have separate groups of workmen for the different processes req uisite to carry the article through all the stages of it's production. Be- cause," said he, t' the work is laborions and exhausting, but by changing sey- eral times during the day from one pro- cess to another the men are rested and can work to better advantage" This apparently conflicts somewhat with the popular American practice of specially work for each workmen, as in the watch factories, machine shops, cotton mills. and, indeed, nearly all branches of manufacture. But the conflict is not as real as might at first thought be sup posed. Even the specialist can have, and needs. change of work just as the scholar or the professional man needs a change of position for bodily comfort. The muscles need not absolute rest so much as variation of energy. Why do you not" said one Burlington lady to another the other day, cut out and baste large lot of work and then sit down at your sewing machine and rush it through, and thus gain time ?" Be cause,' was the reply, "my machine tires me. The change from one kind of work to another is great relief, and thus, taking the whole day, I have strength to accomplish more than if l followed the more systematic, but less restful, plan you propose.

 Tha r1hIlncnnhu in hOfb 0f ha ohnuo instances, and in nearly every phase oi human labor, is in consonance with physiological principles, and has had another and more conspicuous illustrar ton in the recent international walking contest at London. Weston's feat was genuine surprise. It Is rule or priv ilege of pedestrian contests, as now gen. erallyeondueted, that the contestants, where time is an element, may either walk or run. These are called go-as you please matches. While 1t would be impossible to win the race by run ming, there is nevertheless decided advantage in alternating running with walking, and knowing this ia t, Wes ton alternated heel-andtoe stride with trot, and in this way distanced his British competitor.

 The lesson to be drawn from these facts and illustrations Is the phy siologi- cal benefit of change of position or of work or whatever may occupy the thought and muscular effort. If, as Americans, we have too few holi days" as has been charged, or take too few recreations, a partial solution of the problem may be found in the direction we have indicated. Avoid the wear oi a constant, changeless strain in mird or boly. If you cannot find time for other recreations, you can at least ease up the wear and tear of the system by alternating the kind of work.-Hal0k7 Eve.
