CHEFS DISCUSS PUMPKIN PIE.
Symposium Of Famous New York Culinary Artists On This
Thanksgiving Dainty.

The great American pie-belt" grows
broader every year and has passed the
lakes Of the north on the one side, and
the Ohio, Cumberland and Tennessee
on the other. In Havre and Marseilles

While the demand for the delicacy
reaches a maximum on Thanksgiving
and Christmas, it is constant the year
through. and since canning and cold
storage enables the lover of the golden
vegetable to crafty his desires at all
seasons, it has been found in every
fashionable hotel and restaurant of the
metropolis on the daily bill of fare
Thursday morning, for example, skillful
cooks, under the direction of eminent
chefs, will be making pumpkin pies
which will bring joy to thousands be-
fore midnight.
AT the Fifth Avenue Hotel the Gull
mary lord is Charles Freshman. Here

| pies for which that house is noted:
One quart pumpkin.
Four eggs.
! One gill molasses.
-Four ounces sugar
! Two ounces butter
| Two teaspoonfuls of ginger.
| One teaspoonful of cinnamon.
| One-half teaspoonful of nutmeg.
! One-half teaspoonful of salt.
! This makes a rich, full-favored
heavily bodied pie. With a piece of good
English or American cheese it is a per-
feet meal by itself

high-mfnded chef, he gives in explicit
terms his method of making pumpkin
pies.
Cut two pounds of good pumpkin
in slices; suppress the seeds and peel;
put into a saucepan with some water
over brisk fire. Drain and press the
pulp through a sieve. Mix with eight
eggs, little ginger, little cinnamon, nut

one quart of milk. Stir well. Have your

EXPERIMENTAL KITES.
How to Make a Variety of Fine Ely
ing Machines. Scientifically.


The increasing usefulness OF Kites has
led scientific men throughout the world
to experiment and make special
study of kite flying with a view to
evolving more perfect models for mill
tary, scientific and other purposes. At
the kite farms throughout the United
States some remarkably successful re-
suits are being obtained with new kites
of odd designs, very light of weight,
but powerful in operation.
The materials used and the method
of construction are now so simpllhed
that with a few hints intelligent boys
may follow up the work as a pastime.

ment with models made after their own
ideas. If properly made cellular
kites may be flown without any of the
eXertion of old-time kite flying, and

and quite expensive.
The models Shown in the accompany
ing illustration are samples of those
now being successfully experimental
with, which may be worked after in
making models for amusing expert
ments. They are all from five to seven
feet in length, but in making the first
homemade kite. one three feet long

This makes a pie almost as light as
charlotte russo and SO palatable as to
make the eater follow the example of
Oliver Twist and ask for more. 1t is
the sumum bonum of piedonl.
The pumpkin pie deserves its 1mmor-
tality. Nor should it be forgotten that
the original pumpkin pie was an arts
tocrat. Like other pies, it contained
butter and brown sugar, or molasse5.
But, unlike them, it contained eggs,
nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, allspice ana
ginger. Steam has made the world very
small, and cheap freights have enabled
the poorest TO enjoy the fragrant spices
of the far east. But it was not so two
hundred years ago. A single nutmeg
cost a shilling or bushel of wheat, ana
the cinnamon, ginger and allspice used
in one baking cost even more. Il
pumpkin pie as late as 1850 was more
of a luxury than is steWed terrapin or
canvas-back duck today.
No Wand has q cleaner or purer lin
cage. The bodybuilding of the seven
tenth century is as obsolete as the
dainties Of the pharaohs. The "goodly
bear's-meate paste" is as extinct as the
dodo or the eohioDus. Even old-fash-
toned homemade bread has been driv-
en- to the wall by the products or
Partisan and Viennese bakeries, by
Parker House rolls and the uncanny
creations of Graham, Kellogg and other
diet-reforners and defoFmers. But the
pumpkin pie of 1893, whether made in
the Waldorf Astoria or the little Dutch
bakery around the corner, is practically
the same as that which tickled the pal
ate of Cotton Mather or of Bishop
Berkeley.
The first in point of time is an heir
loom ef the Adams family, and dates
from the early part of the eighteenth
century. 1t is eloquent to one who can

was bound to produce jurists, scholars,
