ABOUT PIES.

During the war the bakers and fruit
vendors manufactured pie which has
since become famous in history, and
generally known as the "Lincoln pie
so-called by the colored people from
the days of the rebellion, in honor Of
the savior of their race The pie is a
whole meal in extent of its inside FL
lings. To the darkey the pie is meat
and bread, and vegetables thrown in,
the ingredients or makeup of the pie
serving the purpose Of supplying the
wants of the inner man. The colored
mans peculiar genius, Or his instinct is
keener than some others on the COM
pound of pie, has furnished the world
with suitable pie and also shown his
gratitude by comforting the honor Of
the great mans name to the pie.
Younger people, or those unacquainted
with the history of the war of the re-
bellion, will have no recollection on the
famous pie question. But it is our
duty to refresh history, hence We
bring up the "Lincom'' pie, as the
black boys call it. In the eastern
States this pie is still considered the,
Alpha and Omega of the darkey's feast,
There are other pies equally celebrated.
There is the pumpkin pie as old as the
landing of the pilgrims. There is the
mince pie, similar to the Lincoln pie in
make up. The custard pie and the
apple pie ad infnitum. The pie-eater
chooses from the galaxy of pies, and
according to season relishes the pie
suitable to the occasion. Just now
the "Lincum'' is in its glory. Speaking
of pies reminds us that pies figure in
history more than we imagine, unless
we take time to give the matter
thorough overhauling in our minds. It
is said that good deal of the disorder
in the digestive apparatus is attributed
to the pie crust. During this disar-
rangement it is said that the strongest
passions of love and hate are engen-
dered. If this be true, then love is
responsible to the pie. If this be true
then anger or hate is responsible to pie.
It is pie that is the source of our in
ternal connections, and it is pie that
causes war and family feads. To pie
is accountable of the love spring that
emanates from the youths fascinating
heart. 1t is under the indigestible
agony of pie that the tender love pro-
posals are made, 1t is to pie that we
owe our $4,000 libel suit, for under
the indigestibility of the pie, the intro
Queer of this suit was laboring, hence
the champion pie-eater is getting to
the front

Two Inches from Death.

The engineer of the train which
reaches this city from Norristown at
eleven o'clock at night had thrilling ex-
perience on Wednesday. His train left
Norristown with every prospect of reach
ing Ninth and Green Streets station on
time and without incident worth men
ton. The train was rushing on at the
rate of about thirty miles an hour, and
was within half mile of Conshohocken
when the watchful engineer was horri-
fled at seeing man lying within hun
dred yards ahead of his engine, and
with his head apparently on the rail.
The alr-brakes were put down, the en-
CINE reversed, and every effort made to
stop the train before the wheels reached
the mans head. 1t was too late. On
the engine rrshed-on hundred Yards
berOre the train could be stopped.
When 1t came to a standstill the con-
ductor, engineer and a number of
passengers went back to pick up the
mangled remains of the unfortunate
victim. Imagine their surprise upon
discovering that the man was neither
dead nor mangled, but sleeping quietly
alongside the track, not at all disturbed
by the racket which had been recently
made by the passing train His head
was on tie not more than two inches
from the rail, and the wheels of the
train must have passed over it within
less than that distance. His BODY was
stretched along the sleepers just outside
the rail. The conductor woke him up
roughly, and asked him what he meant
by thus counting such horrible death.
=" don't want nothing but little nap"
said he, land l don see why Teller
can't go TO sleep out in the air in the
country without getting hauled about
like he was thief"
When the danger of his position was
pointed out to him, he only said:
"Well, guess ] had better get out o
little further He was finally driven
off and warned not to attempt such
nap again. He went off grumbling and
not at all grateful. Engineer ODER says
he never saw such man. 81 believe"
said he, "that that fellow could have
slept on top of one of the volcanoes OF

Cloth Jackets.


The first mportations of jackets for
early autumn days show tailor-made
garments of mefium length-that is,
from twenty-four to twenty-six inches
OF ottoman cloths very elaborately
braided. The fronts are single breasted.
with an officers standing collar, or thew
may be double-breasted, with a high
notched revers collar. In some cases
there is braiding in rows or in pattern
that covers the entire front of the Jacket.
Astrakhan cloths and the curled As
trakhan furs are very much used for
trimming winter jackets; these are put
on as the merest edging, or else in wide
bands that nearly cover the skirt of the
garment Brown, gray, green, navy
blue, and black are the colors most
largely imported. Gilt lra;ds, silver
ana bronze soutache arc also mixed
with black or dark-colored braid in
their trimmings, and a great deal of
hertule braid an nch or more in width
Is used for trimming cloth garments of
all kinds. The long pelisscs which the
french call paletots are again imported
as cloth over-dresses to be worn with
skirts OF silk or of velvet;' these will
also be sufficiently heavy for winter
wraps when worn over the house dresses
with single skirt, no drapery, and
round waist that are to be used next
winter. These pelisses may be quite
plain. or with plaits in front and back,
are fastened to the waist only, and are
provided with velvet or satin ribbons
that are sewed in the side seams at the
smallest taper of the waist, and tied in
front or on one side. as is found to be
most becoming to the wearer. A velvet
collar, or else a deeper shoulder cape OF
either velvet or fur, trims the neck, and
there are cuffs OF the same. There are
also elaborate corded ornaments for the
shoulders and back of these coats, with
a rope-like cord and tassels around the
waist. Brown, black and gray cloths
are most usel for long pelisses, but
there are many striped ones, also block
checks and large dull plaids. Astrakhan
fur and braid trim those to be used in
midwinter. The comfortable Russian
circular is again imported in heavy
cloths, with fur border and rows of
fur and braid down the back. This
garment has fitted back forms, and a
closed piece in front. with holes for the
arms to pass out, and is ample enough
to co er the wearer from throat to foot.
Black, gray and brown cloths are most
used for these.-Hdyper's Bdzdr

Kitchen Progress.

Even in the kitchen inventive genius
has gained a strong foothold, entirely
usurping the primitive methods prac-
ticed by our grandmothers in the per-
Torrance of their domestic duties. Me-
chanical contrivances of all kinds sup
ply what in former years required deft-
ness. Griddles themselves do the cake
turning. Eggs are beaten by a crank;
the coffee bean is not only roasted and
ground by machinery, but the drink
made by clever contrivance that con-
siderately whistles when the beverage
is done. A child, nowadays, may sue
cessfully fry Saratoga potatoes. An
open work basket is set in a pan of fat.
with the article to be fried in it. The
pan is furnished with high handle
with hook in the middle. The instant
the thing to be cooked has assumed the
delicate golden brown appropriate to
viands cooked in this way, the basket is
lifted and hung upon the hook to drip
and dry There is no marring of the
symmetry of outlSe of the. fragile
delicacies, no scattering of grease in
the endeayor to fish them ont, and there
are no last ones to burn while waiting
their turn to be taken out. Then the
new broiler, which permits the article to
be tightly shut in, obviating all danger
of depositing it upon the fiooror in the
fire, but catches every drop of juice
that may exude. When the broiler has
tured over the juices are turned back
upon the meat, which thus bastes ITSELF
To those unsuccessful ones who have
not yet arrived at the solution of the
problem of how to cook a chop over
quick fire, without burning the fat,
these broilers will bring success and re-
lief from their perplexities. Those fond
of nicely-shaped griddle-cakes win re-
joice over griddle NJ ,de with hinge
in the middle. One side has q number
of circular depressions into which the
batter is dropped. When the cakes are
done on the under side, the griddle is
simply folded over on itself. which de-
posts them on their other side on the
opposite half of the griddle, leaving the
empty places ready for more. Then
there are ironing boards covered and
ready for use, and the various articles,
light and seryiceable and unbreakable,
like buckets and basins and foot-tubs.

Raidlng the SutIer.

A famous and favorite kind of sport,
especially when we had been living in
camp for some time in summer or
were established in winter quarters.
was what was known as trading the
suffer-" tt
The suffers establishment was large
wall tent, which was usually pitched
on the side of the camp farthest away
from the Colonel's quarters. 1t was,
therefore, in a somewhat exposed and
tempting position. Whenever IL was
thought well to raid him, the men of
his own regiment would make to the
men OF some neighboring regiment a
proposition in some such terms as this:
You fellows come over here some
night and raid our sutler, and we'll
come over to your camp some night and
raid yours. VIII you do itP'
This courteous offer of friendly Offices
was usually agreed to, and great was
the sport which often resulted. For.
when all was duly arranged and made
ready, on a dark night when the sutler
was sleeping soundly in his tent. a
skirmish line from the neighboring regi-
ment would cautiously pick its way
down the hill and through the brush.
and silently surround the tent. One
party. creeping close in by the wall of
the tent, would loosen the ropes and
remove them from the stakes on one
side. while another party on the other
side, at given signal. would pull the
whole concern over the suffers head.
And then would arise wells and cheers
Tor a few moments, followed by imme.
date silence, as the raiding party would
steal quietly away.
Did they steal his goods? Very SCI
DOM For soldiers were not thieves.
and plumber was not the object. Only
fun. Why did not the officers punish
tho men for doing thisa Well, some
times they did. But sometimes the off.
GERS believed the sutler to be exorbitani
in his charges and oppressive to the
men, and cared little how soon he was
cleared out and sent a-paeking; and
therefore they enjoyed the sport quite
as well as the men. and often initiated
Nelson's example when he put his blind
eye TO the telescope and declared he
did not see the signal TO cease firing.
They winked at the frolic. and came or
the scene usually in ample time to con.
dole with the sutler, but quite too late
to do him any service.-Hdrry II
