Music by the Pound.

That's a jolly idea that they have in
Berlin, Of selling sheet music by the
pound. You go in one Of the shops
where music is sold in this way and
give them the list Of the pieces you
want and they select them and lay
them out in a pile and weigh them
out-so many pounds, and so many
marks and pfennigs. Or, if you can
afford, say. three pounds Of sentiment
tai, one pound Of dramatic, twelve
ounces Of comic, and four ounces Of
devotional, or any other arrangement
that suits your fancy. 1t is a great
boon to the musician who is poor-not
to speak Of the poor musician because
under this system Wagner and Brahms
and Dvorak will cost him no more
than the insignificant and forgotten
Smithkowski, and the deluded and
soft-headed Srewloosld. And Wagner
for the piano, Of course, being bought
by the pound can be played by the
pound with good grace.

Two Kinds of pies.

There is certain class Of restaurants
very numerous in the lower part of
New York and on the avenues, where
the bills of fare announce: .'Pies, all
kinds, sc; homemade pies, 1Oc.'' The
name homemade pies is supposed to
be very attractive to people whose
taste is offended by the machine made
pie turned out by the bake Shops, and
who have memories of the pies their
mothers used to make. In serving the
pies the experienced waiter rarely asks
a man what kind he will have. He
simply sizes up his customer, and de-
cides how much money he wants to
spend on his luncheon, and brings the
sc or the Zoe pie accordingly.
But the name homemade pie is
only name. Both kinds of pie are
made by the same factory, composed
of the same materials, favored with
the same spices and baked in the same
oven. The only difference is that the
so-called homemade is bigger than
the other. There are a great many
bakeries in New York that furnish pies
to restaurants, but the greater mass
of the pies eatel in New York res
taurants are made by two big pie fac
tories. They make pies and nothing
else, and employ big crews. These two
factories manufacture more pies than
all the small bakeries in town put to-
gether. Only a few of the high priced
restaurants bake their own pies.-New
York Mail and Express.

They first bought 500 acres Of land on
Loudoun Heights and the first season
planted a peach orchard. This was in
1887. Since that time they have in
creased their holdings steadily, and
their fruit farm promises to rival the
largest ranches on the Pacific coast.
