Sweet Balciiisc Apples
So many people are dyspeptic and
cannot eat pie because of its crust
that they ought to know that baked
sweet apples are as good as pie and
can be eaten by anyone with impunity
Most of the sweet apples remain linn
when baked and are excellent eaten
with milk if care is taken to remove
the skin which should remain on while
the apple is baking Then the skin will
come off as thin as a wafer aud leave
all the aroma on the apple which is lost
when the apple is peeled while raw
The best of any kind of fruit is iust un

Why They Did It
At an ancient church at Yalsbol in
Russia it has been customary for the
congregation to turn to a blank wall
and bow reverently before leaving the
church Why they did this nobody
knew except that their forefathers had
done so and had handed down the cus
tom In making some repairs recently
the origin of the custom was discov
ered for beneath many layers of white
wash and paint a picture was found
of the Yirgin Mary which must have
stood out brilliantly on tL3 wall five
or six centuries ago
