6 LUSCIOUS CRAB AFPLE iQUEEN OF ALL THE VARIETIES OF PRESERVES* I ^MaIma PHIfrtr Daw* rv/ aH T Plhiitn to Fruit, Inspired by Boyhood Memories of Its Superlative Toothsome Qualities. ! It demandB a hungry boy who has I taken hearty exercise In the open air to steal native Maine crab apples for (.the sake of eating them, asserts the 'B&ngor News. Even the red hawthorne plums after the frosts fall and (sweeten up the iusides, are far more 'preferable than the wild crabs. Re jpeated hec.vy frosts add sweeting to those balls of sour fire, which makes them palatable to \\ ild partridges, red and gray squirrels, bluejays ami rare and beautiful grosbeaks. It is the housewives of Maine who most appreciate the wild crib apple?particularly for tho making of tarts and beautifully pink jellies, which stand in sunny autumn windows and ripen for days at a time. The very essence of the Northern hills is concealed in those topping tumblers of glass. No Maine housewife thinks of rating a Thanksgiving turkey or a turbed night. The incidents of the story force themselves into our mint until we become an actor in the talc itself, and eventually wake with t brain that has had no rest. Then, again, a good novel (or foi that matter a bed one) tempts us t< go on reading until we have reachei the end and know the beat (or the worst). Then tho noxious Influence begin; to work, for no person, even tho mos clear-headed, can read a novel of the usual length at one sitting, and fee better in mind for doing so. Mode^a tlon extends to reading as to every thing else, and those who like* tc take their literature in gulps are rare; ly able to appreciate its finer qtiuli ties. My own opinion is that the beet bee books are those which are usuall) classed as "serious worka/* TJnder thii heading come essays, reminiscences descriptive works and philosophy*? Bxohanga. Spirits.

Today it is more highly esteemed than cranberry suuco, or summer jellies made from rhu barb, grapes or currants, or the colored parings of drying apples.

BEST BOOKS TO READ IN BEC Serious L terature Should Be Selected ?Novels Too Apt to Leave the Braid Excited. Why is it that the habit of reading In bed it so oil en condemned? Surely It is only taking one's recreation lr the pleasuntest possible way, and thai Is what wo all strive after if we do not always attain it. Taken in tho right way it is an ex cedent cure for insomnia, but taker hi the wrong way it forms an insidi ous root for that disease. The fundamental point is to choost one's bed books with as much care at one would expend in selecting a house Nobody should road a novel in bee if they wish to nans a sound undis SAVING A RUBEN' m i ' jiin. ^ L*'p. i Removing the "Assumption of the the purpose of hiding It in a cellar to ? , raiders. : PAID DEARLY FOR JOKE !

His grufT manners may have 3 had something to do with the nick3 name, but it came to him fairly by in-' uenuuice. ms lamer, mo (jcnerai r Sumner of Civil war renown bore it j before him. r While the Seventh was stationed at , Fort Grant, Ariz., a very raw recruit was sent on from Kansas City. As usual, the men persecuted him from | tho start He returned meekly from the ordnance stores with the information that "left-handed ramrods" were I all gone; without batting an eyelash, he reported that the sergeant In charge of the post swore at blm when he applied for his "butter checks." E They took his last two bits away from ' him in the canteen in some hocusi pocus game. After sapper he was t blanket tossed" until the arms of the ! tossers grew weary; and three times that night his bunk collapsed, amidst roars of merriment. The recruit then 1 gave up the struggle and lay shivering upon the floor until morning He neither murmured nor com plained In fact, he seemed to be so 1 unsophisticated that when ho asked his room corporal where he could have I some washing done, the corporal, with - a jerk of his thumb, indicated thocomJ inanding officer's house on the corner ' of the parade. "Go over to that big 1 house," the corporal directed. "Take i VGlir hunHIo U llh VOU n?./l enlr t e Old Hull. He takes in all the wastiin' r at this post." 1 Gripping his little bundle, the green ' lad from Kansas City shambled across * the parade, mounted the colonel's front stoop, and Innocently pulled the * doorbell. The joke was an old one, as 1 Old Hull had never been known to an* swer the bell in person, and more than ' one recruit had learned the way to r "Soapsuds How" after a tongue-lash * ing from the commandant's dusky, * maid of all work And as sho had " threatened to scald the next man who * bothered her about his washing, the tip was passed along from troop to 1 troop, and the men swarmed out on r the verandas to see the fun 1 Hut just as the recruit pulled the ? bell, who should sterp out but Old Hull " himself, booted and spurred for hia morning ride. -rWha; do you want here?" he thundered, surprised to see an enlisted i man at his front door, l I "I?1 wanted to see about gettln' x these nh shirts and nocfea done up.

Hut since you're such an expert on laundry matters, I order you to do thiB man's washing on the iront porcn or tnese quarters every Monday morning at guard mount. "And you," he bellowed, turning to tho recruit and shaking his gauntlets at him. "you see that you have at least two suits of underclothes and seven pairs of socks for him every week! And if he doesn't wash 'em clean?you report to Old Bull, that's ME!" And thereafter for several months, until a band of Tonto Basin Apaches went on a rampage and gave them more serious things to think about, the men of the Seventh looked forward happily to Monday morning guard mount. The noncommissioned laundyman became known as "Corporal Suds," and was teased about the affair until the day a piece of Spanish shrapnel cut short his existence.? Youth's Companion. Sacrifice for Liberty. Crabs of various kinds have the habit, when caught by the leg, of breaking it off, and they may often bo found with a completely formed little leg which has been "regenerated" or grown afresh, and will in due time attain full size. The beautiful hairy skin of the tail of tho little dormouse also will come off when the animal is caught by It. leaving the bony, blood- j stained skeleton of the tall exposed to dry and wither tip. There is no regrowth in this case. I was horrified when I was a boy to see six dormice reduced to this condition In the birdand-beaHt shop on the staircase of the t old Pantheon bazaar They had escaped from their cages while I was looking on and tho shopman endeavored to catch them, with 'his distress ir.g result.
