A HUGE PIE.

From Harpcr's Round Table.
The largest pie ever known was
that described in the Newcastle
Chronicle for the 9th of January,
1870. 1t was shipped to Sir Henry
Gray, Baronet, London, Mrs. Doro-
thy Patterson, housekeeper at Hawic,
being the maker. Into the compo-
sition of this great pie entered two
bushels of flour, twenty pounds OF
butter, four geese, two turkeys, two
rabbits, four wild ducks, two wood
cocks, six snipe, four partridges, two
meats tongues, two curlews, seven
blackbirds and six pigeons. 1t
weighed twelve stone, and was nine
feet in circumference at the bottom.
1t was furnished with a case on
wheels, for convenience in passing it
round to the guests.
The receipt for this pie is given
here as hint to those of our read
ers who may be thinking of getting
up picnic within the next two or
three weeks. A half dozen pies of
this size ought to be enough for at
least one picnic.

HERBERT II. AsQUITH.
he gallows.

Herbert H. Asquith, whose popu-
larity is rapidly increasing in
England, is looked upon as the
coming leader of the liberal party.
Mr.. Asquith has risen faster and
higher than any other man of his
time. 1t was in the course of the
proceedings before the Parnell com
mission that he was first heard of.
This was less than seven years ago,
when he was 81 years old. Before
that time, he was known only as a
rising young barrister, but the con-
,iderable part he took in that great
state trial brought him into promi-
nence. 1t was not until two or three
years after he first became member
OF parliament that he began to go
much into society, where he has
become such favorite. Mr.. Asquith
is wiGower with five children. j
highlands home secretary he ha-
been very popular.

A career unequaled in crime in the
history of this country is that of H..
II. Holmes, swindler and murderer.
The latest chapter is that of the mur-
der of two little children, whose
bodies have been discovered in the
cellar of house in Toronto, Ont. ,
Canada. About year and half
ago he murdered the father of these
children, B. F. Pietzel, in order to
secure the $4,000 life insurance
carried by him. For fifteen years he
made profession of swindling,
securing about 5000, 900 from insur-
snce companies. He had three
wives at one time, and besides the
murders named above he is sus-
pected of three more. So cleverly
has Holmes covered his tracks that
it may be difficult to convict him of
any of his crimes. He is awaiting
rial in Philadelphia, and it is be-
eved his dark career will end Oh
he gallows.

One OF the warmest contests in the

Herbert Gladstone was born at
Hawarden, Flintshire. He was edu-
Gated at Christ church, Oxford grad

for some time as his fathers private

SUMMER. ADVERTISING.

BY Charles Austin Bates.
There are two ways of looking at
advertising, both of them right.
Advertising should be done during
the dull time for the purpose of
stirring up trade at that time, and
also for the sake of the benefit VIII ch
will come from beng continually
before the public's eye.
A man should just as quickly think
of stopping his advertisement in the
summer or in the dull time after the
holidays as he should think Of closing
up his store for several months in the
year, and keeping it open only when
trade would keep him busy. There
is probably no store in the country
that could not shut up for three or
four months out of the year and
be ahead in cash by doing SO, but at
the end of the next four months the
gain will not be apparent. 1t does
not take people very long to forget
things, and if store were close
four months, or the advertising
stopped four months, a great many
people would have forgotten that
business was in existence.
The other view of advertising is
that it ought to be pnshed during the
busy time, when PEOPLE are ready
to buy, Advertising cannot be
expected to sell goods when people
do not want them, and it will nat
urally be most effective when it gives
publicity to some desirable article at
just the right time.
To be sure, advertising will sci
anything, at any time, if the price be
made low enough and the advertise
ment sufficiently attractive.
Some lines of goods can he forced,
and some cannot, but even those
which cannot be forced should not be
allowed to drop out of sight.

In connection with the Corbett
and FitzaimmOns fight for the pugil-
istic championship of America, D. a.
Stuart, of Dallas, Texas, is being
watched with anxiety by the many
thousands who are interested in the
coming mill. He is president of the
Texas Athletic Association, and on
him, more than anyone else, depends
the meeting of these two men.
Stuart is a millionaire, has the
backing of the most powerful Texan
politicians and lawyers at his COM
mand and it is believed that in spite
OF all opposition the big battle will
take place in Dallas. Mr.. Stuart is
having erected vast amphitheater
Tor the contest. 1t will seat over
so 900 people. Only one larger than
this was ever constructed. The
erection of the amphitheater and
the preliminary work will cost over
S200,C In other words, it will
cost that much money to put Corbett
and Fitzsimmons into the ring at
Dallas. Stuart has never failed in
an undertaking of this kind and his
friends are certain of his success in
this one,

INVADED BY BATS.
rom the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston Journal.
A queer invasion of house by
bats is reported at Deering. The
family of Ex-Mayor Sawyer had
heard queer noises in the walls, and
occasionally received an unexpected
visit from q bat who entered through
a ventilator, and the other day they
decided on investigation. A hole
found under the caves was stopped
up, and at once the bats began to
appear. Through the ventilators,
into the bathroom, and into the
cellar they swarmed, sixty five being
killed In one night. About 200 have
been killed, half dozen being found
drowned In q basin Of water.

AGAINST THE NEW WOMAN.

From the New York Post Express.
At the commencement exercise Of
the Lexington Park Seminary, held
In st. Luke's church last evening,
Bishop Coke addressed the girl grad
yates 40 follows:
"The effort to establish the new
woman has, it must be said, been
accompanied by desire on the part
OF the agitators to emancipate them
selves from religion. When I read
from day to day Of the utterances OF
this new cult, giving forth startling
truths disseminating odious princi-
pies from the lecture platform, am
inclined to cry: %, shame, where is
thy blush?' am in favor OF the high
or education. 1t pleases me to sec
intellectual taste and patience in ac.
quiring knowledge possessed by your
sex.
"There are cases where women
can accomplish great good in life
Of publicity, but they are exceptional
cases. But no stigma should be cast
upon those who purify and embellish
home life. Every true woman makes
her own life where Providence places
her. Such is the opinion Of truly
good OF all ages. 1t is not by noisy
defamation that the state of women
is to be charged.
"Of late 1t seems to be the trend
OF fashion among women to appear
as much like men as possible. Such
is neither in keeping with her past
history nor in accordance with true
ideals OF grace and beauty.
SIT Is the true and established
sphere of women to influence man
and guide him to look to higher ideals
and more worthy desires. He is not
q man who has not, at period of his
existence, had the fostering of a
devoted mother or the subtitle inhu
ence OF a beloved sister. Past ex
perience illustrates this fact. When
the great west was being settled men
rushed there, leaving all restraining
influence behind them, and plunged
into the abyss OF vice and sin. But
when women, sweet, matronly
women, came all was changed. Rel,
igion obtained q foothold and the
vice sank into the dark caves whence
it had come.
"Such is the influence that womer
exerts in the world. And, young
ladies, 1t is fitting that such should
be your aim in life. May you there
fore, go out into life, aided and guided
by the knowledge which, through the
untiring labors Of the teachers OF the
seminary, you have acquired, evel
remembering that it is your duty t'
bring great happiness and highel
religion into whatever sphere yot
may choose for your life's work"

Justice Brewer, in special sitting at
Burlington, VT, that the company
must sell the plant to the city for
the sum Of three million dollars, as
decreed by Justice Brewer in No
vember Of last year. This was the
court Of last resort for the company
and the question submitted was
whether the city had the right to
issue three millions In bonds to pay
for the plant. The company claimed
that the city was exceeding it's debt

would not be valid. This Justice
Brewer over-ruled and entered
judgment for the transfer of the
plant.
