Sanitary Pie.

1t is reported that some one has in.
vented sanitary pie" Warranted not tc
cause dyspepsia. 1t is said to have PRO
tose lining" (whatever that may be), and
other antidotes to indigestion. and to be
quite as healthy as the much advocated
graham bread and oatmeal.
The probabilities are, however. that the
average American in the Great Pie Belt
will stick to his favorite deIicacy and re-
fuse all substitutes. The reasons for this
conclusion are numerous. One is that most
people have had experience with various
kinds Of health foods and found them about
as agreeable as hay and sawdust. The
lover of coffee who has experimental with
sundry limitations lately put on the mar
ket has been twice miserable, first because
he could not have his coffee. and second
because he did have the substitute for it.
What the coffee lover wants is the real
Brazilian grain, brown, hot, fragrant, and
stimulating; and If he cannot have that,
any cambric-tea infusion is a mockery and
a WEAKNESS to the flesh. One reason why
the average person will abjure sanitary
it is fit to eat.
Another thing against the proposed in
novation is that it is not likely to do any
good. 1t is safe to assume that two-thfrds
of the dyspeptics in this country suffer.
not from indulgence in any particular ar
ticle of food. but from general carelessness
or self-indulgence. Sometimes We behold
the spectacle of full grown man, presum-
ably intelligent, bolting in seven minutes
a luncheon which should have been con-
sumed in at least half an hour. After a
certain time this man feels unhappy; and
he lays it to the pie, or the lobster salad.
or the limburger cheese which he ate; and

Again. We hnd q man who was brought
up on a farm, in cold climate, taking up
sedentary occupation several hundred
miles south Of lkis former home, ID city.
He eats hot sriddle cakes and sausagss for
breakfast. pie and doughnuts and cheese
for luncheon, and a variety of vegetables
simply cooked. with e heavy pudding. for
dinner: and he does not take nuch exer-
else. By and by that man is going to won
der what makes him feel so miserable and
depressed all the time. and he thinks it is
because he is getting old. or has business
or family troubles. Then he believes it is
the coffee that he. drinks. and he confines
himself to hot water. And so he goes on.
never knowing that If he had left OF eating
heat-producing. hearty, oily things without
much favoring, and taken to fruit, salads,
and clear soup, served in courses and well
seasoned. he would haEss been perfectly
happy in his new home. That man may
substitute beans for coffee and sanitary
pie for the other kind to the end Of his un-
comfortable days; but il he eats too much
Of everything and takes too little exercise
and consumes his food too fast and in a
depressed frame OF mind, he will keep on
being dyspeptic, and nobody can stop him.
There is no real reason why pie should
not be healthful. II is, when well made,
simply two layers of light, faky, crusty
breadstun, holding in their embrace some
stewed fruit; and there is nothing more
conducive to health than bread and fruit.
OF course. great deal of pie is not well
made. and is more like sole leather and
glue than like any civilized food; but there
are failures in all professions. At any
rate. pie like the peanut. is an American
institution, and nothing is likely to cause
its disappearance for some generations at
least. II will be necessary first 10 in

II Is a melancholy fact that many of our in
stitutions have outlived their object. They
stick to the old forms. though the spirit
has gone out of them; ard this when there
are SC many things worth doing In the
world that there is not half time and money
enough for them all. This society for
catching horse thieves. which still goes on
WHEN the thief has become a thing OF the
past, is not more absurd than many others.
Il is said that in the gardens of Russian
palace there is a tree around which sentry
pscez each day-he does not know why.
and no sentry has known why. for many
generations. But the reason is that long
ago certain royal lady Ek.d that tree
and wished 1t protected. We do not want
any fossilized traditions in this country.
We have problems enough to grapple with
and it will take all of our wit and shrewd-
ness and determination to solve these with
out clinging to any useless conservatisms.
This young Republic will have to sift out
the wheat from the chaff, and adopt just
so much of Old World customs and thought
as fits its new conditions. In that way
We shall build up really genuine and Wig
orus life of our own. There is no use in
rejecting this. that. or the thsr importa-
tion from Europe on the ground that 1t is
not American, nor is there any more sense
in accepting 1t simply because it is the
product of an older civilization.

W0ODC0CK AND PARTRIDGE.
Mr.. vickey Says First Have Not Finished
Moulting-latter Very Scarce.

Hon. p O. Nickery and his grandson,
Percy V. Hill. went out. Friday morning
last. to try the fall shooting of woodcock
and partridge. Before u o'clock, they
bagged five wOodcock and four partridge.
After that time they visited several of
the best covers without getting a bird.
and seeing but two wild woodcock that
had not finished moulting.
Mr.. Vickery says that, although the
woodcock have apparently finished mouit
ing the fact that they do not whistle
when they ly. have hardly any scent and
are very poor in flesh, SHOWS that they
have not fully recovered from the effects
of doing 50. After being flushed once, ii
was impossible for his dog 10 find them.
and in one case he SAW his dog walk oyer
one without disturbing him.
As to partridge, Mr.. Nickcry says they
are an unknown quantity at this season
Of the year, as they are scattered all over
the territory-some being OUT III the fields
where blackberries grow, ana others ~
Gated where they can have access q
springs or water. owing 10 the druuth ANA
lack of water in brooks. After VIC have
some storms to fill the brooks, then III,

are plenty.
Mr. Vickery tells US that during his trip
he was on a trout brook, which usually
at this season OF the year, has plenty III
water in it, but AT The present time thcr,
is only pool here ana there. These pools
have many trout in them. ana unless rain
soon comes 10 their aid. they will perish
for want of running water.
