THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE PIEs.-While
visiting friend last summer, she remarked
TO her mother at dinner, one day, as dessert
was being served, that "our guest does not
eat pie" The mother gave little nol with
her head which was full OF Significance, and
said, well, when she sees some of my pies
she viii both eat and like them. too" In
due time the pies began 10 appear-pies OF
apple, and pies OF peaches, and the mothers
prediction proved true. The pies were de-
llCiOus and quite free from the ordinary OBJ
lection urged by hygienists aud phys .ologists
against pastry. They were made in this
way: 4 deep dish, from two TO three in
ches in depth, was filed with the fruit, pared,
and, II OF apples, they were cored aud cutin
dozen slices perhaps-with the requisite
addition OF sugar, spices and water. No uu-
der crust. The top crust, thin aud naky,
came nom the oven light and crisp and free
from sogginess. 1t retained in the fruit ali
flavor and the peculiar deliciousness that es-
capes when cooked uncovered. Ia serving IL
knife was used to divide the pie In portions
as is ordinarily done, and with a spoon. the
fruit removed from the pie dish TO the des-
seIt plate, where IL formed an odorOus and
amber-lik pile by the triangular piece OF
crust near IL. The memory of these pies re-
mains like sweet fragrance Mdry Il, e.

then strain and use the wash night and
morning. Or squeeze the juice of a lemon
into half goblet OF water, and use the same
way. Most OF the remedies for freckles are
poisonous and cannot be used with safety.
Freckles indicate a defect in digestion, and
consist in deposits OF some carbonaceous or
fatty matter beneath the scarf skin. The
diet should be attended to, and should be of
nature that the bowels and kidneys will
do their duty. Daily bathing, with much
friction, should not be neglected, and the
