Pies.

There has been inquiry regarding the
running out of pies, since which time L
have been experimenting with rhubarb
pies, and feel that 1 am now able if not
to solve the whole mystery, to at least
throw a little light on the subject
I find that there are manifold causes
for failure in this feature of culinary
science. Sometimes the fault is from
defects in the dough, usually from using
coarse salt or from not working the under
crust enough. A large grain of salt will
dissolve by the heat of the oven, thus
forming leakage in the crust. Coarse
salt should never be used in the kitchen,
as it is mostly put up for stock, and con-
sequently not SO clean as table varieties.
If from any cause it is necessary to use
il. it should be rolled fine on table or
moulding board, using heavy rolling
pin.
Another cause is not having the edges
of the pies properly sealed. The best way
is to wet the undercrust before applying
the upper. Then place the pie upon the
up-turned palm of the left hand. and
with the right hand pinch both upper
and under crusts together.
Pastry that has to be cut with knife
is certainly not short enough. After it
has been neatly and deftly removed press
roll around the edge of the pie and
crimp the edges. Some do this by pinch
ing the dough diagonally with the roll
and deftly twisting it into the SEM
blance of the threads on an auger, but
this is apt to undo some of the previous
sealing.
find safer plan for juicy pies. When
ready for crimping, place the pie on the
table, lay the front finger and thumb OF
the left hand on the edge of the pie, al
lowing them to rest about one-half inch
on the pie and far enough apart to allow
the front finger of the right hand to pass
between easily, drawing it from the palm
of the left hand and upward and over the
edge of the pie, drawing the dough up

in Paris Meigs, no doubt, expected to
gain little notoriety in Europe by
means Of the enterprise. OF course it was
ia allure.
1t was Meigs' custom to educate young
girls, claiming their favors IN early
womanhood, afterward giving rich
dowry as an inducement to marriage.
When he lived in his quinta at Santiago
if was his custom to keep loose gol9 in
q drawer of his desk, which, after the
fashion of his prototype, the Count of
Monte Cristo, he would give to women
by the handful. I have seen the gold,
and I have seen him pour it into the
laps of women who came to him upon
one pretext or another.
ssMeigs never talked to me about the
shadow which hung over his earlier life,
but he knew that was familiar with it
The fact that he was a criminal and a
fugitive, and that he could not return to
his native land, made his life gloomy.
Finally he set his friends and his money
to work, and few years before his death
the Legislature of California granted
him amnesty. But he never awaited him
self Of the privilege. He died of paralysis
in Lima after I left South America.
What fortune, if any, he left 1 have no
means of knowing, but it is certain that
during his lifetime he was the richest
man in South America

POOR MISS FL4GLER.

A feeling OF pity will be aroused in
many hearts by the Indictment Of
Miss Elizabeth Flagler, daughter
OF Gen. D. w. FlagIcr, chief OF the
ordnance bureau OF the war depart.
ment, for the killing of a colored boy,
Ernest Green, who was stealing fruit
on her fathers place last August. 1t
is pretty generally understood that
the unfortunate young lady did her
ill-considered act OF discharging the
gun simply for the purpose OF fright
ening the negro boys who had pes
tered the Flaglcr family almost be-
vond endurance, and it is SAID She
was terribly shocked and refused to
believe for a time that She had shot
young Green. Her suffcrings since
the tragedy have been very severe,
and treatment tor nervous prOStra-
ton has been necessary. The trial
will not take place before January,
and Miss Fiagl,r is under $4,000
bonds to appear.
Opinions will differ as to thejustice
OF bringing Miss Flaeler TO trial, but
surely all will feel sorry Tor the poor
gi1l who has thus brought deep
shadow over her young lite, II she
escapes the punishment OF the law,
she will sllll have to bear the remorse
for her act which is certain to be
felt by one said to be of tender
hearted nature. The boys parents
are not concerned III the prosecution,
and it was their wish thar the mat
ter should be dropped. Miss FIagIer
