BAKED APPLES. The Way to )iake a convenient and The diMf'e-ne Detv m i e sauce tewed quickly ov.-r t*.v fire and that baked slowly for several hours in a moderate oven is .,o great that one could easily believe th.,t difforent fruits had been used. Each method, if care fully followed, produces a delicious re sult, and, while some persons have a - strong preference for one or the other. to my mind it is difficult to decide which is the better way. Therefore it is vell to use both methods, cooking the first apples that come in midsum mer by stewing. and later, when the cool days of early autumn make a fire less objectionaLle, trying the baking. The dish for baking is as important as that for beans baked properly and also for Indian puddings, and should be the same in style and material. Cut the fruit (and you may use in this way any kind of apples or pears which are too green or hard to use uncooked) into quarters: then remove the cores and skins. Allow one cup of sugar and one-half cup of water to two quarts of fruit. The amount will vary with dif ferent apples, and it is important not to use too much sugar, for the long cooking seems to develop the natural sweetness of the fruit. Cover them closely and cook in a slow oven four or five hours or until they have a deep rich red color. If they cook too fast. the steam will cause them to burst and run over the edge and result in a mushy sauce, but a moderate heat. long continued. will leave each quarter distinct in the clear sirup. Let it cool in the pan and turn it out withoat any stirring of the fruit This may be poured at once into sterilized jars and sealed the same as canned fruit, If you are not likely to use it all soon. As a sauce for a breakfast or dinner It is -,acceptable; with cream and hot biscuit for supper It is'delicious, and as a fill -Ug for pastry shells it is convenient Home Science Magazine. THE CAVE OF GHOSTS. Ahis i One of the Wonder Places of New South Wales. One' of the curiosities of Oakley .'creek, N. S. W., is a cave which very few people care to enter. It is of the usaal order of stalactite and stalag mite shapes and figures, but in order tO get inside it the visitor must crouch down and squeeze himself through a .arrow opening and grope his way in ithe inky darkness for a few yards till be can stand erect and light a torch. As swen as he has done this he sees %aintly the weird shapes assumed by the water dripping from the limestone and he hea-- a whirring noise. He feels inclin; I to make his exit at oT%e. -if he hea something moving 11 -round him, and presently something tobches him. - He concludes that there are uncanny spirits about. and this sensation is mul tiplied many times in intensity when on turning to retrace his steps he finds himself confronted by a tall, ghostly If the visitor has a strong nerve or las been forewarned. which is not al ..1 ".ays the case, he recognizes that the ghostly figure is a senseless block form .ed by the dripping from the limestone, and that the moving creatures are bats. There is one part of the cave which *no man has dared to explore. It is called the luowhole. Oine adventurous *Visitor wals ab~out to s iueze himself through this narrowv aperture when it occurred to him to throw -a sicnxe through. HeT did so. listening for the stone to touch bottom. and the dull sound that tinally reached him con vinced him that there wvas a sheer -drop of 200 feet on the other side of the blowhole. Inference.

SAMURAI AND JIU-JITSU. The 31ost Wonderfrl System of Ath er.I: :::e lNar!d. More :. i- there sprang : e :':-,an an or der of k:a- -v-:known as the mnur::.

As t1r - ' ::w:u 1 war on band. and as was con,t'ired be neath the 0 :iy of the s::urai to go into any t:-;i:y : it came about naturally that th-es little lanights found much idle ilnne on their hands. Being men of w::r. they turned their attention to athletic feats. One among the samurai conceived the idea of learning by practice the location of every sensitive nerve and muscle in the body. After that he dis covered all the joints of the bones that could be seized in such a way as to give momentary power over the mus cles of an adversary. He practiced with his fellow samurai, and thus by de-rees was' developed the most won derful system of athletics known in the world. Tine Japa-.se call this work jiu-jitsu. The deft pressures applied in the prac tice of jiu-jitsu produce only momen tary pain, but do not really injure the muscles or nerves. In ali other things the Japanese are the most polite peo ple in the world. So it follows that even in their lighting they have de veloped a humane yet effective method of self defense. They do not strikeout with the clinched fist and seek !o bruise, as do the Anglo-Saxons in their boxing contests. A knowledge of jiu-jitsu enables one almost instantly to convince his oppo nent that it is useless to fight. There are now schools of jiu-jitsu eve-ywhere in Japan. Every soldier, sailor and policeman Is obliged to perfect himself in the system. A Japanese policeman, possessed of the art, has been known single handed to reduce to submission and tr. take to the police station four; sturd; -ilors of a foreign Asiatic squadron.-St Nicholas. A FEW HOGS. A hog is a person who sits sideways in a car where other passengers are standing. A hog is a person whc jams his suit case in front of you at the railway sta tion so as to get your place In the line to the gate. A hog is a person who "breaks in" while you are negotiating in a store and takes the attention of the eesman or saleswoman away from you. A hog is a person who opens his win dow in the railway car and allows dust and cinders to fly in the face of the passengers behind, though he would not tolerate an open window at the seat next in front. A hog is a person who insists on dis cussing "the mutability of human af fairs" with the ticket seller at the thea er when there-is a long "Indian file" in his rear. and the curtain is about to be rung up on the performance.-Cincin nati Commercial.

The chailinch's call varies witn its feelings. When on the wing it is 'Eyak: Eyak!' Its espression of joy Is 'Fink: Fink:' If angry, it makes the same call more quickly, and 'Trief!
