Purify the Pie.

Mrs Sarah Tyson Rorer is a New
York lecturer on cookery. She de-
livered a discourse on pie one day this
week, and here is the apologize strain
in which she introduced her subject:
l always feel sorry when l have to give a
lesson III cooking pastry, L feel as if were
committing sin. There is nothing in
pastry to keep either man or woman men
tally, morally or physically straight. 1t is
palatable, no doubt, but there are any
amount Of good things in cooking that are
really not fit to be eaten.
Nothing in pastry to keep either
man or woman mentally, morally or
physically straight % Yet Emerson ate
pie, and Emerson, SO far as mental and
moral planes are concerned, was a
dweller on the heights.
Perhaps it is not all pie, but merely
pie as generally concocted, that deserves
Mrs. Rorer's indictment. Americans
are a pie-consuming people, and moth
ing that can be said against it can
suffice to keep them from eating it.
The only direction for reform to take,
therefore, is that Of instruction.
Let there be a campaign of educa ton.
How did Mrs. Emerson make the pies
with which she fed the Sage of Con-
cord? Let every American housewife
learn to make pies as they should be
made, that indigestion may be a thing
unknown and everyone be happy.

The Diet OF the Future.

The writer of an illustrated descrip-
ton of the New York fish market dur
ing Lent, in the current number of
Harper's Weekly, says a fish commits
sioner of the United States once told
him that:
In hundred years from now, when the
country becomes densely populated, ana III
200 years from now, when it becomes over
populated, the chief reliance Of the people
within 500 miles from the coast for food
will be upon the sea. Meat, and even
grain, may become scarce for lack of room
to produce them, but there will always be
room in the sea for the culture of fish, and
plenty Of marshes to produce rice.
This Malthusian view is accepted by
the writer mentioned, who makes the
| illogical remark that perhaps this IS
one reason why there is an increased
demand already from year to year tor
sea food" A comparison of the prices
of sea foods and the prices Of meats and
! farm products will show that the pres
ent demand for sea food is not because
of any scarcity of meat or grain. Fish
of all kinds generally rule higher IN
price than meats, and the demand for
| them is simply the result OF desire
for change in the daily menu. AS a
rule the economical housewife regards

Nor is there any likelihood that the
people of the United States will be
forced to a fish and rice diet by the
natural increase in population during
two centuries. There are vast areas Of
land still lying fallow for the agriculture
| ist and irrigation is retaining thou
sands upon thousands of acres of
lands that have heretofore been re-
garded as barren and utterly worthless
Even in the compare lively thickly-set-
| tied sections of the country there are
large areas of uncultivated soil. This is
a country of magnificent distances. and
as yet we have not begun to utilize our
tillable land with any sort of economy.
In the Interstate irrigation convention
| at Omaha the chairman of the local
! board asserted that the least cultivated
half of Nebraska is capable of main
| tanning a population OF 100000 souls
if properly irrigated.
There is another side of this matter
! that is generally ignored, and that is the
constant increase in the number of food
products. Banana flour is destined to

peanut has more nutrimental value than

Gain Through Loss.

Lord Thurlow, one of the ablest of
English Lord chancellors, was the most
uncomfortable man to be associated
with. He never learned self-cOntrOl,
and his explosions of temper, on the
slightest provocation, were appalling.
No fish-woman in Billingsgate INDUCED
in grosser epithets than this leader Of
the bar and bench. Scenes took place
III his own dining room which made
noblemen hesitate before accepting his
hospitality. The greatest men in the
realm shrank from an encounter where
they were certain to be overwhelmed
with tout words.
But King George III. was priv
LEGGED person, from whom even the
great Lord Chancellor must accept a
rebuke without reply. And the mon
arch managed to infiict it without violat-
ing courtesy, with sharp wit worthy OF
Talleyrand. Lord ThurloW came late to
an important Cabinet meeting, and
apologized for his hardness by saying.
that he had a fracas with a cabman,
and lost his temper.
The King answered quietly:
Lost your temper, my lord? [ con
graduate your heartily. [ hope you
may never find it, for it was the most
villainous temper that ! ever knew"
The next day the bon mot was told in
every drawing room in London.

Robbers Cave i'm Kansas.

Alfred Stratton and Charley Summer
field, farmers sons, while hunting near
covered a robbers cave, which has
probably been the rendezvous OF
thieves who terrorized the people OF
the southern border of Kansas. The
opening, which was we'll hidden, was
only large enough to admit one man
crawling on his hands and knees, and
led to large chamber fitted up with
hunks and a camp stove.
The boys were frightened away by a
man rising from one of the hunks and
retreatod. Subsequently the sheriff
visited the place, and found that the in
mate had flown. He was tracked to-
ward the Indian country to the south
west, the trail showing that he had been
joined by two other men.

Bitten by a Snake.

Mrs. S. F. Worden, who lives near
Sherwood in Leonidas Township, Mich,
was looking for eggs in a strawstack
and reached her hand in a nest. On
going to the house she said there was a
silver in her thumb, and had her hus-
band try to find it. No silver could be
found, but the hand kept paining her,
and physician was called. He did all
he could to relieve her. but she died
Thursday evening in terrible agony. 1t
is supposed that a snake or some other
poisonous reptile was in the nest and
bit her. The reason Of this supposition
is that the weather has been warm
enough SO that snakes have already
been seen

Hairy People of YeZO.

A. II. Savage Landor, grandson of the
poet of that name, has quite recently
returned from a long sojourn among
those remarkable people, the hairy
Anus of Yezo. There are, he esti-
mates, about 5000 pure-bred Ainu in
Yezo at the present time, while the
Japanese estimate the whole Ainu pop
ulation, including half breeds, at from
1900 to $4,000. The average measure
ment Of the pure Ainu-five men and
live women-give the following mean:
Height, 629 inches for men, 5S& inches
for women; length from tip to tip of
fingers, with arms outstretched. 65$
inches for men, Oh inches for women !;
chest measurement, 81 Lie for men, "a J
for women. The pure Ainu physiog-
nomy is thus described: "When seen
full face the forehead is narrow and
sharply sloped backward; the cheek
bones are prominent and the nose is
hooked, slightly flattened and broad,
with strong nostrils. The mouth is
generally large, with thick firm lips,
and the nostrils we'll developed. The
space from the nose to the mouth is ex-
tremely long, while the chin, which is
rather round, is comparatively short
and not very prominent. Thus the
face has the shape of short oval.
The profile is concave and the mouth
and eyebrows are prominent"
