Cherry Pie.

Ben: Perley Poore. who is one of the
most delightful old grangers, writes
about the cherry pie. If anybody ever
knew cherry pie it is Mr.. Poore. He
is now seventy-one years old. Mr..
Poore says:
have read with interest lamenta-
ton over the decadence of cherry pie.
which says that the likeness between
the modern pie and an old-fashioned
one made of pie cherries is much like
that between a horse-chestnut and a
chestnut horse. 1t exists rather in
sound than in substance. and involves
what is to all intents and purposes n
contradiction in terms. For a cherry
pie is now made from cherries that are
not fit for pies. This is to be denlored.
for if pie is ever laudable, | will not
say justifiable, 1t is in the form of cherry
pie. The gooseberry is to be spoken OF
with respect; but that. when il takes on
r pie-llke form, assumes The shape of
tart. and is without the upper crust, OF
''cotlin, rs it used TO be called. AIince
pie is, of course. to be treated with de-
ference, rs a long-estabished institn-
ton, which mingles with our earliest
memories of Christmas and indigestion.
But the connections of that venerable
condiment are so exclusively with sea-
son of ice and snow that the considera.
ton of it at the present melting period
of the year would awaken profound re-
grets, and perhaps wound tender sensi.
bilities. OF apple pie | will not speak
scornfully, if the apples have fine tart
flavor and are stewed soft, and the crus,
is tender and ilaky. As 10 veal pie, the
conditions of which they may be re-
ceived with favor are well established.
we must "know the lady as made il.
But as the making of veal pies, and the
performance of most other household
duties. seems now to be done by machin.
cry or the issuing of orders by telegraph.
recognizable veal pie NAV be regarded
as not existing, and | return, like the
rondo in an old-fasnioned sonata, to my
first theme, the laudation of cherry pie,
meaning thereby pie made of pie cher.
ries.
The disappearance of the pie cherryi is
q serious loss TO our fruit table. Let us
spur up the purists and conservatives in
language, by saying that it is serious
pomonal loss. 1t had, or will even
yet say mas, an exquisite flavor, so pecu.
liar that it cannot be initiated or re-
placed; flavor entirely unlike that OF
the finest cherry of the other species,
except of SO far as both are reeogniza.
bic as being of the same family And
this cherry seems to have been especial
ly provided by nature for the sole pur.
pose of being made into pies For, un
stewed, it is sour and bitter. and alto.
gether unpleasant to the general palate.
1t is only in the pie, or when stewed fol-
food, that its delicious and indescrib.
able aroma delights both the nose and
palate of appreciatiye boys. and, ]
might add, men; whereas a pie made OF
the other species. be it the finest OK.

Bituinin "a Coal.

Few persons have any idea of the
wonderful products from Il lump of coal
"a lump of coal that is placed in the
retort of gas mandatory. Orlinari-
ly burned, the combustion of lump of
coal results in carbonc acid smoke
(Which is merely SCOTT, and the ash. in
which are found silica, alumina, oxide
of iron, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid.
potash, sodium, combined sulphur,
sometimes traces of chlorine. titanic
acid, and other substances. In the gas
retort variety ofproducts are obtained.
The gas rs it is carried through the
hydraulic main to the purifying rooms
takes with it tar and ammonia, the lat
ter evolved from the nitrogen. The am
monia has to be washed out with water
in an arrangement by which the am
monia is gathered and saved Tons
and tons of sulphate of ammonia are
thus made, and become an article of
commerce. The sulphur is removed by
caustic lime or oxide of iron. The car
bonic acid is also removed by lime, but
the sulphurous acid cannot be removed,
and, with several others, remains in the
gas after ali efforts to remove it. The
others give the gas its smell.
BY distillation, naphtha and asphalt
tum are obtained. Asphaltum is dead
oil, very useful to preserve wood. From
this, too, carbolic acid is obtained, very
important in surgical operations as be-
ing the most valuable antiseptic known.
From naphtha, benzole eumol, toluol,
and cymol arc obtained. Naphtha, as
is well known. is used rs burning
fluid. Benzol is solvent for grease
and oils. very useful in cleaning kid
gloves and things of that kind.
Benzole treated with nitric acid pro-
duces nitrobenzole. This. singularly
enough, is used rs a flayoring extract
by confectoners and for pertaining
soap. When used for this purpose, it is
known in commerce rs the essence OF
myrrhbane, which it is not, although
it smells and tastes something like es-
sence of myrrhbane or oil of bitter al
monds. Nitrobenzole is terribly poi
sonous, but not more so than some other
adulterants used by confectioners.
From nitrobenzole, aniline is obtain
ed. This when first obtained is a per-
fectly colorless liquid, but darkens as it
grows older. From anline are obtain
cd the coal tar colors, which are so very
brilliant. The colors are of all hues. The
one known Us Turkey red" is exactly
similar to the red that used to be made
from the madden root. Since the dis
covery of this aniline, it has almost COM
pletely broken up the raising of madden
in Holland. There thousands of acres
were devoted to the raising OF madden
root to get the Turkey red dye. 1t can
be made much cheaper from the pro-
duct of gas factory. The Coal Trade

Agrarian Agitation in America.

When agrarian agitation is mention
ed, one expects to hear of Ireland, the
Isle of Skye, Scotland, or England
That American communities have been,
and are, little troubled by disputes be-
tween landlord and tenant, is taken for
matter of course, and not without rea-
son. When fertile wild land could be
had for nothing till within recent years,
the struggle between proprietors and
would-be proprietors could seldom be-
come very severe. Questions as to the
ultimate ownership of land are still
practically in allegiance in the New
World. Yet America has furnished in
teresting instances of agrarian agita-
ton. Prodlgal grants of land at
nominal prices to colonizing corpora
tons and railway companies have in
duced bitter and increasing complaints
in the United States and Canada. Mr.
Henry Georges attacks on landed pro-
prietorship originated from observation
of the grasping policy of Californian
owners of counties who waited idly for
their property to acquire value from the
neighborhood of industrious settlers.
In new country such holdings are
D.
Large uncultivated blocks separate
farmers from their markets, add much
to local taxation for roads and bridges,
and materially enhance the difficulties
of maintaining district schools. Hence,
in the New Northwest, both American
and Canadian, the advantages obtained
from railways, aided by large land
grants, are not procured without some
sacrifices. These sacrifices are, how
ever, rendered temporary by the alacrity
of railway companies in settling their
lands with a view to developing traffic.
Colonization companies. so called, are
everywhere less eager to part with their
tracts. and the difficulties arising from
this fact sometimes occasion distinct
agrarian agitation. In Ontario. the
chief province of the Canadian Domin-
ion, one of the grievances of genera
areas by the Canada Company, which
obtained its holdings at nominal price
on conditions VIGOROUSLY disregarded.
1t is, however, the agrarian agitation
which took place, for more than a cen
tury, in Prince Edward Island, the
smallest province of Canada, that is to
be here sketched The course of the
struggle there between landlord and
tenant may have interest in showing
how the grantees of lands bestowed for
colonization may shirk their engage
ments. And it may also show how the
voting privileges OF Il democratic com
munity modified an opposition to land
lords which in Cork or Kerry might
have gone TO murderous lengths

Tho Latest Freak in Cards.


It's a great thing to be fashionable,
and Think that those who arc do not &C.
quire their fine taste, bat that it grows
within them like unto refined mcanness

hours ago who is TOO fastidious and
thorough about her toilet to acquire
anything, and she assured me that al
n dinner which she is about to give at
an early date the latest thing in cards
is to be used. In spasm Of conliden-
tial regard she showed mo the latest
thing, and together we rnapsodized and
worshippcd it. And now, with all in
1uences removed, don't think so much
of the card, even though it is Egyptian,
direct from New York, and artistic to a
degree of raggedness, dirt and age. The
thing looked as it seems to me as if it
had gone down in Oregon. stayed there
for several weeks, and then come up
again. In size il is six inches long by
four inches wide, its color is a sort Of
waterlogged gray brown, and the menu
upon its face was n sort Of metallic
black. As a courier and directory TO a

the pettiness of ducal rule in Oldenburg.
