THE DELICATE FLAVOR.
Made n Most Palatable
Salad.

At one of his famous little dinners prom
inent professional man of Washington was
greatly pleased with the salad, as were also
his guests. Evidently it was partly meat
and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new,
distinct and undeterminable This was so
faint that one guest declared: Its not a
taste at all; only SMELL"
At length some one suggested, says What
to Eat, that the chef be asked for the recipe,
upon which the host remarked:
My man greatly dislikes being asked for
recipes. On this occasion, however, his van
ity may overcome him if we tell how greatly
we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad
in particular. At any rate, well see."
The Frenchman soon appeared, and was
visibly affected, not to say elated, by the
compliments.
"Eet gif me great plaisir," he said, "to tell

PIE HAS NO VIRTUES.
1t L. Not Wholesome and Calls for
Much Work in the
Making.

Mrs. S. T. Rorer writes, in Ladies'
Home journal, on why / am OPP
posed to Pies making it clear that
they are not healthful, supply but lit
tie nutriment and call for much work
in the making. Inside the pie a
complex mixture is frequently
found,'' she says. eff it be a mince-
meat pie, especially one containing
liquor, added to preserve the mass,
and it does SO not only in the jar,
but in the stomach also, it is doubly
bad. If it be a fruit pie, such as
cherry or other acid fruit, the cane
sugar has been inverted, both by the
heat and the acid, and we have in
vert sugar of two sorts, one most
prone to fermentation. If this inver-
sion of the sugar had been performed
by the ferments of the digestive tract
according to natures plans, we could
get from it greater amount of true
food with less expenditure of vital
force. Taking into consideration that
the heating of the fat by the baking
of pie has robbed it of easy assimila-
ton, the surrounded starch grains
are more difficult of solution, the in
vert sugar prone to fermentation,
we certainly have wasted our energy
and tremendous amount of blood in
the digestion of these materials from
which we have gained little"
