Huclkleberry Pie.

Make good plain crust with half
pound of -four, quarter of pound OF
lard, level teaspoonful of salt, and
ice water enough to mix together.
Have all your materials as cold as pos
sible, sift the -four into bowl, add
the lard and salt and chop it with a
knife. When thoroughly mixed,
moisten with the water, little at
time. Take the dough out on q
Toured board, cut it in two pieces and
roll out one of them for the bottom
crust. Line your plate with the crust,
dip a small fve-cent paint brush,
which is kept for that purpose, In the
white of an egg, and brush the crust
all over. This will keep the juice OF
the berries from soaking into the crust.
Put in your huckleberries, one pint,
and small piece of butter and 9
quarter of cup of sugar, cover with
the top crust and bake in very quick
| oven. When rolling out the top crust,
cut hole in the middle of it SO that
the steam may escape, or the juice will
run out of the pie into the oven. Fol-
plain family pie, tuck the top crust
under the bottom all around the edge,
and press them together with the
thumb, and this prevents the, juice
from escaping. All fruit pies should
be eaten the day they are baked, OF the
under crust will be heavy.

Foods

The foods Of the various classes OF
nation were often regulated by law In
the past. Two Roman laws, passed
about 100 B. c., regulated the costs OF
feasts at private houses, stating how
much was to be eahen, and forbidddna
the fattening of fowls. julius Caesar
was very strict with regard to foods
and used to send his soldiers to confls
cate forbidden luxuries offered for sale
In the market places, and to private
houses to see that the legal dietary was
properly observed. These diet lava
were probably necessary In ancient
Rome remembering the gluttony OF thu
Romans. Coming down to the Middle
Ages. laws Of Charles vi. Of France
and az Edward III. of England decreed
the diet Of the French and English &C
cordsng to their rank, both as to quality
and quantity. The Parliament OF Scot
land in 1888 passed similar law. In
addition to these the laws regarding
dress were particularly severe, and L
q curious to notice that some Of the
English sumptuary laws remained II

Chinaman in a Box.

If Sam Yick will apply for 1t, ne cal
easily obtain from the postal author'
ties a diploma for being the supiies
celestial they have ever had to dea
with.
For weeks he robbed the mails at Sal
Francisco, Cal, without detection, 10
ten months he eyaded the active search
that was made for him, and hnaliy ~
had himself boxed up as freight ant
right under the eyes OF customs ans
postal officials shipped aboard a Chi
nese steamship and SO safely reaches
the fiowery kingdom.
1t was early in 1896 that the posta
authorities began to suspect Yfck o.
robbing the mails, and Jan. II an at
tempt was made to arrest him. Yfci
was warned by his friends, however
and escaped. He made his way to TIT
interior of the. State somewhere ant
remained concealed for about tel
months. At the end Of that time Z
friend made up his mind to go to Chi
"a and Yick concluded to go with him
But he was so well known and the pos
tai authorities were so active in thu
search for him that he did not dar
risk any ordinary DISCUSSES. Even u
.ttempt to get to San Francisco wal
attended with danger. In this predlc
ument he had himself boxed up and
shipped by rail. He was entered at tht
! custom house for export as freight and
out aboard one Of the outgoing steam
ers. When safely out at sea his friend
who was aboard as one Of the passen
gers. helped<sim to get out OF his pack
| ing case and he made the rest OF TIT
| trip In comfort.
But Just how his friend managed t.
see that the box was kept right side VI
I with care while it was being handled
In the process Of shipment and was no
slowed away In the lower part of tn
hold with tons and tons of freight Of
i ton of him Is one of the mysteries tina

however, that he did, for word ha

"A Modern Jonah.

| A somewhat startling story comes
from across the water. The central
character is an English seaman who
while engaged In his duties-he belong
ed to the crew of whaling vessel
duplicated the experience OF the pro
uhet Jonah. The captain and crew
state that they chased one or two enor
NOUS sperm whales on one of thell
whaling voyages, and when within hall
a mile of 1t lowered two boats in pur
suit. From the nearer boat, a bomb
lance was fred which struck the mon.
ster IN a vital part. The crew backed
water with all their might, but were
not quick enough to escape the animal
who In his agony seized and demolish'
ed the boat, and closed upon the steers
man with his ponderous jaws before he
could get out of the way The whale
was killed and brought alon gside Of
the vessel to remove the blubber, which
operation took day and half before
the opening of the stomach. There the
sailors, to their great establishment
found their conrade In q state Of I'm
consciousness. For three weeks aftel
his restoration from that condition III
walked the deck and rayed Ike one in
sane most Of the time, and when pro
nounced to be out Of danger he wal
subject at times to Authorizations which
caused him great suffering. He wa
sent 10 hospital on their arrival Il
London, and his general health nov
seems good; but his skin retains blu
tsh tinge supposed to be caused by tn
action Of the gastric juice of the whale
stomach. Such an experience Is ceI
tainly sufficient to turn almost any on
blue.
