The mother of my friend gave little
mod with her head which was full Of
significance, and said, "Well, when she
gees some of my pies, she will both eat
and like them too.
In due time the pies begun to appear
pies of apple, and pies of peaches,
and the mothers prediction proved
true. The pies were delicious and
quite free from the ordinary objection
argued by hygienists and psychologists
against pastry. They were made in
this wise: A deep dish, from two to
three inches in depth, was filled with
fruit, pared, and if Of apples, they were
cored and cut in dozen slices perhaps
with the requisite addition Of sugar,
spices and water. No under-cru:t. The
top crust, thin and Aakey, came from
the oven light and crisp and free from
sogginess. 1t retained in the fruit
all flavor and the peculiar deliciousness
that escapes when cooked uncovered.
In serving it a 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 dessert plate,
where it formed an odorous and amber
like pile by the triangular piece Of crust
near it.
The memory of those pies remains
with me like sweet fragrance, and |
feel sure that all pe-makers who read
this, and have not already adopted the
plan, will henceforth do so; for the la
Dor is far less, and the result beyond
comparison, with the orthodox and
dreadful two crust plan. Try it. Adj

THE USE OF KEROSENE

kerosene is used. In one neighbour

women were burned to death by using
it to kindle fires, and within week of
each other. House wives, house maids,
and even boys and girls not over ten
years old, went up stairs, hown cellar
and everywhere light was needed,
bearing kerosene lamp. 1t seemed to
me, as it in reality was, most unpardon-
able fool hardness. Ifa kerosene lamp
is trimmed and cleaned in the morning,
lighted with care at night and placed
upon secure table, there is little dan.
ger of explosion. If it is carried about,
there is danger of explosion every mo-
ment. For such use lamps of oil, or a
candle should be provided. Fortu-
nately candles are coming into fashion
again, and in the best country houses
are used entirely for sleeping rooms
