THE PIE IN

The Modern Athens Eats 10000 Pics
Each Day.
Pie is served at all the hotels in
Boston, and it is known and loved in
every home, says the Boston Globe.
Keeping this fact in mind, it is inter-
esting to make a few figures on the
number of pies eaten in the city. As
Stunning that n person in every four
in a population Of 500, 900 eats one piece
of pie every day, and the estimate is
a conservative one, it will be seen that
the daily consumption of pie is 125, 900
pieces, or 31,250 whole pies, figuring
that each pie was cut in four pieces.
Reckoning, however, on five pieces to
the pie in a few cases, or even six-for
clearinghouse keepers must live-the
odd 1880 pies may be thrown off, and
the figures declare. that 10000 pies are
consumed in Boston every day. If a
barrel of flour will make 500 pie crusts,
then sixty barrels of flour are used
daily in Boston for pie crust alone, or
2l,9OO barrels a year, worth, at SIS a
barrel, $109,50O A fortune in pie crust.
Assuming that each pie has a value Of
ten cents, it is found that the value
OF a days supply of pie for Boston
is $4,000, and a years supply 81, O95, 900.
Ii each pie were an inch thick, one
days supply, If placed one on top of
the other (supposing this could be done
without injury to the bottom pie) would
make a column $500 feet high, or
eleven times as high as Bunker Hill
monument, with s%ixty-nine feet to
spare.

which l was greatly impressed. not only

displayed by the company, which con-
sisted for the most part of gossons sit

cleared or missed their jump. There
was n handsome and likely-looking
mare that, no doubt, from want of due
preparation for this particular kind of
trial, was among those who elected the
first course. Her name was Dairymaid
and overheard the observation behind
me: "Dairymaid, is it? All, we'll, she'd
better go home and make booter. She's
no good here"

A Model Citizen.

If anybody wants a model for a citi-
zen of the highest class he may find it
in this eulogy of a Boston man, written
by a friend who was worth having:
Martin Brimmer, freed f.om private
care, dedicated himself to the common
veal. He took his part in legislation,
in charities, in education, in cultivation
of art. He mingled in all public af-
fairs-not only mingled, but led. Ma
ture had made him prepossessing. His
dignity, his deliberation, his reserve
were impoeing, his gentle courtesy was
winning, and when at last he uttered
a few pregnant words in a judicial tone
the majority Of his hearers fancied
that he was but expressing their SEN
timents, while the minority decided
that opposition was vain. The fusion
was complete Detroit Free Press.

Mrs. Hearst is the same lady who al

Not a Beauty.

Cecil Armitage, a young Englishman
in Ashantee, tells of a strange west
African Joan of Arc" who is equip
ping an army for King Prempeh. Her
appearance is more impressive than
beautiful and, unlike the famous
French Joan, whose features we know,
this dusky amazon is said to have only
one eye, one ear and one arm and to
wear her hair hanging long. With one
touch of her magic wand she can bring
armies together and in an engagement
brass pan is placed before her into
which all the bullets of the enemy can
conveniently fall without hurting her
brave soldiers.-Exchange.
