Pastry as wholesome as Toast.

People will eat hot buttered toast, and give
it to children and invalids, who will tell you
that they are quite careful about diet, and
never think Of touching pastry. The differ
ence between the two articles is as follows:
Pastry is flour and water baked after butter
has been rubbed into it. Buttered toast is
flour and water baked first, and then rubbed
thoroughly with butter. The difference be-
tween pastry and well buttered toast is APP
parently the difference between the proverb-
ial "tweedledum and tweedledee." l only
mention toast as one instance of the articles
