A. r. Woolston, broker in Wilmington,
and whose card has appeared in The Wig
fo- months past, failed last week, for about
$4,000, which will be much in excess of
all that can be realized from his assets.
One of the most unfortunate features of
the case is that his father law, gentle
man much respected in the community,
who had acquired a competency after an
active business life, is so involved by en-
dorsements for Mr.. Woolston as to be
obliged to make an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors. Other sums owing
by Mr.. w. are to persons in moderate Cir
cumstances, who can i'll afford the loss.

Activity.

THE doctors will tell you, and your
own observation will confirm it, that the
healthiest men in the world are the men
most actively employed. The child's
hymn has it that Satan finds mischief for
idle hands; and the CHASTITY goddess of
ill-health and disease finds mischief for
sluggish blood and indolent muscles
Even the mountain tarn, for all the
cool, fresh wind that continually crisps its
dark surface into tiny waves, grows dull
aud stagnates in its inactivity and that
Christian life which is only pool, shut
into its own broodings, must Of necessity
stagnate also.
How different the dull surface Of the
standing water, with its mating Of heavy
weeds, from the clear, musical tide Of the
streamlet that rushes by field and wood
with a song and a blessing wherever it
goes.
Activity is essential to healthy life, and
especially to healthy Christian life The
Christian life is like the bicycle that hur-
rics along our roads-while il Is in motion
you are borne onward safe and upright,
but when it pauses you fall helpless to the
earth.-Golden Hours.

Pies.

PIES, as commonly made, says the Herald
Of Heaith, are anything but wholesome
they form inferior kinds of food. Made
as they should be, they are both whole
some and delicious The best of all pies
is made from the apple. The crust should
be thin, the fruit good pie-apples, and
plenty of them, put between the crust.
When the two crusts meet on the edge of
the dish, care should be taken to have the
apples pressed out, so that there shall not
be wide strip of thick crust with no APP
pies near them. An apple pie should be
eaten just after it is COOL If eaten while
hot, it is apt 70 go down only half masti-
Gated, and the effect of the heat on the
tongue tends to destroy the finer sense of
taste. After an apple pie is one day old,
it begins to grow stale, unless it is kept
with great care. Soyer, the famous Lon
don pie maker, thinks that if all the
spoiled pies made in London on one single
Sunday were placed in row beside rail
way, it would take an express train an
hour to pass them in review. In cities
many pies are spoiled every day, mainly
because badly made. Whoever will in
duce bakers to improve their methods of
making them, will be public benefactor
The usual price of a piece of pie in New
York restaurant is ten cents. They could
be afforded for half that price, at u profit,
too if there were no spoiled pies.
