In conclusion, fellow citizens, we beg

DO NOS be deceived by the interested

We have no interest not identical with

Pics.

Pies as commonly made, says the Her
aid of Health, 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 a wide strip of thick crust with no APP
pies heal them. An apple pie should be
eaten Just after it is cool. If eaten while
hot, it is apt to 90 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 ali the spoilt
pies made in London on one single Sun
day we're placed in a row beside a rail
way, it would take an express train an
hour to pass them in review. In cities
many pies are spoilt every day, mainly be-
cause badly made. Whoever will induce
bakers to improve their methods of max
ing them, will be a public benefactor.-
The usual price for a piece OF PIE, ! a
New York restaurant is ten cents. They
could be afforded for half that price. at a
profit, too, if there were no spoiled pies.

1t should be a rule that the traces to the
gears of the team should be as short as pos
sible, without impeding the freedom of the
step of the horse, for the nearer they are
to the point of draught, the less force will
be required to draw the pillow. The tall
est horse should walk in the furrow to
keep the double-tree as level as possible,
and the team must be kept going at as
regular and smart a gait as the nature of
the work viii admit; they are thus bet
ter managed, and the draught will be light
er than if walking slow, and by due at
tention to this particular, heavy soil will
cling less to the pillow. and the operation
will seem pleasant. and free. There is a
certain taste in blowing. as we'll as many
other things, a sort of tact acquired by
instinct, and a slight movement of the
hands will keep the pillow right. while a
swerving, clumsy plowman, without per-
ception, will be constantly letting the pillow
with every unsteady movement of the
horses, run out and into the land, and
make bad work.

A correspopdept of the Springfield r.

publican writes from North Carolina:
q story of the S~cuppernog grape is too
good to be lost. The grape is a native of
North Carolina; the original vine, discov-
cred by Sir Walter Raleigh, still stands
and bears fruit, as it is said on one of the
small islands on the coast. 1t is a rich,
sweet grape, excellent for eating as we'll
as making wine. But to the story. An
old chap planted on a reclaimed swamp
a few miles from Fayetteville, sent W
boys into the Southern army, and thought
two younger ones would not be needed.
But in due time the conscripting officer
made his appearance In the town, and
these boys, with others, were summoned to
appear for examination. They went re-
luctantly enough. 1t was the season of
Scuppernongs. They resolved to have a
good feast of the luscious fruit before they
went to the battlefields. So, shortly be-
fore reporting themselves to the authori-
ties, they bought four quarts of grapes.
Each ate his two quarts. Each was tole-
rably well filed up-gorged, in fact-pro-
Inherent. In that condition they were
ushered into the presence of the III
ing surgeon. They were required to strip
to the buff. The quick eye of the disci-
pie of Esculapius detected what he con-
sidered an abnormal enlargement. He
applied the test of sound. He could ca
silly discern by the ear the fluctuations of
internal fluids. why" said he, ''these
boys both have the dropsyl They are
utterly unfit for service. Let them go!"
1t is not often that the juice of the grape
plays man so good a turn as that. If these
boys ever find families. and adopt coats
of arms, they surely ought to take moth
ing but the EScuppernonggrapefo for the pur-
pose.
