Burnt ivory is very fashionable still,

I PUMPKIN PIE.

Uo0stAsag About tho Proper Way ~ Cook.
Ing Pamp1rin and Squash.
Pumpkin for pie to be properly
cooked must be slowly steamed. Peel
1t. remove the seeds, cut 1t in pieces and
put 1t in large iron pot: with about a
quart of boiling water to one good
sized pumpkin. Cover. It close. Let
1t boil hard for about five or ten min
utes, and then set it hack where it will
steam slowly for about six hours. At
the end of this time nearly all the
water will be absorbed, and the pump
kin will he sweet and tender. Press it
piece by piece through q vegetable
press By this means the pumpkin
should be well drained and thoroughly
strained. hardly more moist than we'll
mashed potato. Take four cups Of
this strained pumpkin, add four cups
OF rich milk, a teaspoonful Of salt, two
of ginger. one Of nutmeg and one of
mace. a small cup of sugar and four or
five eggs according to their size. Some
housekeepers prefer to bring the milk
to boiling point before they use it.
and this undoubtedly gives richer
pie. Pour the pumpkin thus pre-
pared into deep pie plates that have
been lined with pastry. A properly
made pumpkin pie is at least an inch
thick. See that at least half the plates
are SQUARE tins. which. give the de-
lightful corner pieces Of old times.
squash pie is much more easily
made and this may be the reason why
it has taken the place of pumpkin in
some localities. For among vegetables
the fittest does not survive, but that
which is the easiest handled and gives
the least trouble. To make a squash
pie use five cups Of strained and cooked
squash to one quart of boiling milk.
Add grated nutmeg. a heaping tea
spoonful of salt, the juice of half
lemon. a tablespoonful of butter and
five or six eggs, according to size. Bake
the pie for from forty-five to fifty min
utes in a rapid stove oven. In the old
fashioned brick oven they were baked
about one hour.-N. Y. Tribune.

A nightdrcss sachet need not be made

BANANAS IN MEXICO.

Movement for the Importation Of Tropical
Fruit from That Republic.
A company has recently been formed
by several influential Mexican mer-
chants for engaging systematically in
the culture of the banana and other
fruits for expectation to the United
States. The United States at present
derives its principal tropical fruit sup
plies from Cuba, British West Indies.

could be more conveniently and rapid

Dor, Mexico. 1t is, indeed, surprising
that out of the innumerable steamers
which annually unload their fruit car
goes in, United States ports, scarcely
any come from this republic. which.
with its richly endowed soil, could with
facility make fruits its chief export ar
ticlc.
Oranges are now being exported with
profit from certain districts in Sonora,
Jalisco, Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon.
Furthermore, other fruits are exported

on a systematic and large scale. Were
the industry entered upon in q we'll
organized way, anywhere on tho At
lantic and Pacific slopes, within easy
access of the vast expansc OF seaboard
which Mexico possesses on both oceans,
thus insuring cheap shipping facilities,
promoters Of such enterprises would in
very short time be surprised at the
profits that can be derived from the
cultivation, and export of bananas,
pineapples. oranges; lines, lemons.
cocoanuts, etc. $50
A plantation of, bananas may he laid
ont at acost of from five to ten cents
gold per tree, including all expenses
up to the day of bearing. At the end
of the first year each plant produces
a crop of bananas which in United
States markets will fetch several
times the original cost; in the follow
ing years the yield of each plant will
be ut least double. This statement
seems almost. incredible, yet it is the
exact truth. the banana crops of the
West Indies and Central America igur-
ing up into millions Of dollars.
A single acre OF land in Mexico easily
produces 5000 pineapples, and the crop
of corn which is usually wanted among
the plants amply repays for the entire
cost of cultivation, the 5000 pineapples
thus costing nothing to produce. At
the point Of production they readily
sell at so cents silver per dozen. but
when exported into the United States
markets they bring from 81 to So gold
per dozen.
1t is about the same with oranges
and lemons in the tropical zone of
Mexico, the yield averaging as high as
!, 900 per tree. But if only half of this
product is allowed the crop is still very
profitable.-Mexican Investor.
