Gingered ,Apples—Use five pounds of tart apples, hive pounds of light brown sugar, two lemons sliced thin and one-half 'pound of preserved gin- ger cut into thin: slices. Put sugar into, enameled kettle, with one cupful of cold water,. boil up and skim, and put in apples, pared, quartered, and cut in pieces about three-fourths inch. Add one-half teaspoonful of salt, lemons, and gingen and boil until the apples look clear, yellow, and rich: Pour into pint jars and seal as any preserve. Piccalilli—One peck of green tome - toes, nine rather large onions, two- thirds cupsful of salt, one pepper, three pounds of sugar, four quarts of vine- gar, tablespoonful of mustard, elopes, allspioe, and cinnamon. Cut tomatoes in pieces, cover with water, and let stand overnight. Draw in the morning,' and put through the grinder, also on- ions and peppers. Put all together and cook for five hours ' Nasturtium Pickle—Gather the ber ries when they are green and tender, and put theist in brine for twenty-four hours. Then take them out of the brine, put in a jar and cover with vinegar. To a gallon of nasturtiums put a gill of broken black pepper, and a fourthof that quantity of bruised mace. Sweet-BickI'ed Prunes—Pick over, wash, and soak four pounds of large prunes for twenty-four hours, then steam for twenty minutes. Boil to- gether for ten minutes two pounds of sugar, one pint of vinegar, one ounce of whole cloves and stick cinnamon, and one-fourth ounce of ginger. Add the prunes,simmer very gently until tender, then can and seal. Apples in Bloom—Cook red apples in boiling water until soft. Have the water half surround the apples, and turn often. Remove skins carefully, so that the red color may remain, and arrange on serving dish. To the water add one cupful of sugar, grated rind of one lemon, and juice of . one orange; simmer until reduced to one eupful. Cool, and pour over the ap- ples. Serve with cream sauce. Cream Sauce—Beat the white of one egg stiff, add the well -beaten yolk of one egg, and gradually add one cup- ful of powdered sugar. Beat one-half cupful of thick cream and one-fourth cupful of milk until stdff, combine mix- ture and add one-half teaspoonful of vanilla. Apple Ohips—Qut eight pounds of sweet apples into small pieces. Don't pare. Add four pounds of sugar and one-fourth pound of ginger.

Peanuts can be easily roasted in the oven of an ordinary cook -stove or range, the only equipment necessary. being a large ,shallow pan in which the nuts are to, be placed, The oven should be kept at a low temperature,. es the peanuts' are very easily burned. From thirty to forty-five minutes are generally required to complete the roasting of peanuts, provided the tem- perature is maintained at a sufficient- ly low point. The peanuts should be stirredobtain pe 1 uniform results. If not stirred, orif the oven is too hot, the oal in the nuts will burn, and they will have a dis- agreeable flavor, For dill pickles, use cucumbers six or more inches in length. Wash and wipe them dry. Add two pounds of coarse salt to three gallons of water, boil and skim, replacing the water that evaporates sines to keep the same quantity. Pack the cucumbers in a big stone par, placing a pepper pod, a big bunch of dill seed -stalks and grape leaves on top of each layer until the cucumbers are all used. Adel a root of horseradish, then spread more 'dill and a layer of cabbage Ieaves over the top. Pour an the brine. Cover with a plate weighted down with a heavy stone and leave for two or three weeks while fermentation takes place. .&t the end of that time the pickles are ready to use and should be trans- parent, with a fine amber color and pleasant subacid taste. Green tomato mince -meat is made thus: Wash, trim, cut into pieces and run through the vegetable wheel of a food -chopper, fourteen pounds (one peck) of green tomatoes. Drain, then put the tomatoes in an enamel pres- erving kettle, cover with cold water, bring to a boil and allow them to boil five minutes. Let the tomatoes drain until most of the liquid has drained from them. When well drained, add three pounds of chopped raisins, five pounds of chopped tart apples, four pounds of brown sugar, two table- spoonfuls ablespoonfuls of ground cinnamon, two tablespoonfuls of salt, one tablespoon- ful of ground cloves and grated nut- meg, one pound of chopped suet, and two cupfuls of mild boiled cider. Sim- mer forty-five minutes, then place in sterilized jars and seal. This amount makes about ten quarts of mince -meat. A glass or two of tart ,but well -sweet- ened jelly improves the flavor of the mince -meat, and it should be added When cleaning your rugs during the- fall house-cleaning, do not hang them over a line. Lay them flat on the grass when you want to beat them. Even cheap rugs improve in color and gloss after use if they are properly taken care of. They should be swept always with the nap, never against, and it sometimes helps their appear- ance to wipe them off with a damp cloth. In cleaning woodwork, remember that alkalies, like ammonia and borax, act on paint. Clear, warm water is best to clean paint. If the wood work as stained you may have to use am- monia to remove the spots, and then repaint. Whiting and cold water is often sufficient to remove all spots. If the wall paper is torn or marred in any way, patch it with a piece mat- ched carefully. This is much better than using a cleaner on a stained spot, since this usually results in making the marred spot all the more notice- able. A furniture polish made of equal parts of boiled linseed oil, Japan drier, and turpentine will be helpful in re- moving scratches and stains from furniture and woodwork. N•i"hen housecleaning this fall, make up a list of all the little repairs that if made would make the house more comfortable. Then 'have the handy man of the house take . a morning off to do all of them at once. Hinges that squeak, locks and knobs out of order, doors that are warped so that they close hard, windows that will not open—these are some of the little things that try the soul. A wo- man may go on day after day, irri- tated every time she tries to pull out or push in a drawer that sticks, and 'yet do nothing to help it. A little soap rubbed on it may be all it Leeds, or perhaps it will take a few moments' work with a plane, but at any rate the repair should be made. It will pay in sweet temper if nothing else. Pickling Recipes. Tomato and Raisin Conserve—To make, use one-half peck of yellow to- matoes, one-half• pound of sugar, one pound of seedless raisins and one orange. Slice the orange, remove the seeds, then in slain and pulp through. the food -chopper. Put all the ingredi- ents together into a saucepan and cook until a thick jani is obtained.

While members. of the lauinaa family usually pay a great deal at attention to bathing with' water, moat of then animals seldom .wash with this cleaner- ing liquid. The only creatures making• lzabttuel use -of; it are the various hinds Of birds some tropical creatures, and certain fur -bearing anima's, practical- ly ill of_wliicli are in their natural element when wiininrn aboutt inthe. water. The little canary generally, enjoys. getting `nto flits tub and splashing the, water over itself, afterward drying •its feathers by a brisk fluttering of the, wings and hopping from perch to, perch. Even the coronion sparrows are enthusiasts in bathing in the pud- dies that collect after a rain.. How- ever, owever, some birds seem to prefer a. shower bath in the rain, pigeons de- lighting in suchbaths, while larks and cockatoos never bathe in any other manner. But naturalists who slave made a -special study of bird habits claim that the desire of most birds to• bathe in Cool water is, caused by the high temperature of their- blood, which is constantly at what would be fever heat for any of us... This. is very plaus- ible, as the constant demand of a. feverish Jerson for cold water and sponge baths is practical proof of the, theory. Fluttering in the dust is another .method of bathing indulged in by Mose birds not using Water. All. birds of the game and poultry family take dust baths. exclusively. Bears Like Water.

The hippopotami), makes its home almost entirely in the water, so it cannot be said that it in- . dulges in bathing for. the cleansing ' that it will get. On the contrary, it generally delights in. shallow, swampy places in which it can wallow. Most of the hairless animals delight to wal- low, some of them almosteliving in a mud bath during certain seasons of the year. The rhinoceros. is one of these, the mud often caking on Min so hard that water will scarcely dissolve= It after it has been baked in idle tropi- hal sun. The Asiatic and African buffaloes . are also quite fond. of wallowing „in the mud underneath shallow water, with only their noses sticking above the surface. In Asia they are a favor- ite beast of burden when domesticated and one of their usual' tricks when not wanting to work is to hide tinder the water beneath an overhanging tree while their masters call for them in ; vain.

Land reptiles' never take baths of any kind, possibly depending 'ou the motionaf their bodies to shake off the dirt while the sun beats down on their backs and acts as a cleanser. Water reptiles do not wasb at all, they mere- ly lie in the water and soak. The only actual cleansing they get is when they swim from place to place: ` The cat,. mouse, and their respective rolativeile are adepts at washing their fades and paws, especially ,,after eating, while raccoons are equally cleanly in their habits. We have often laughed at the scratching habits of monkeys, brit some naturalists claim that it is only a kind of brushing that these active creatures are giving their skin ford fur ' in order to keep it cleaner.
