toes should be carefully examined, and
examinations of the potatoes in the

Wedding GIFT. In Corr, Box.

A young married woman in one Of
the neighboring towns must be given
credit for originality in securing
means for transporting her wedding
gifts. Her new home is in q distant
city, and she recently returned to her
old home to pack her presents. The
problem presented itself of finding
something Of suficient size to hold
them. A boxmaker was consulted,
and It was found that it would cost
about IS to make box to order such
as she desired. Finally 1t was sug-
gested that q common coffin box
might answer the purpose. The young
woman jumped at the suggestion and
invested $3.50 in a long, plain pine
box. The neighbors of the young
woman's mother were startled to see
the undertaken drive up and take the
big, long box into the house. A num-
ber Of hurried calls were made before
the mystery was solved. The bride
says she will make good use Of the
comm box after she returns to her
home by utilizing It as couch

The pumpkin pie is once more
abroad in the land. On the counters
of the confectioners, in the windows
Of the dairy lunches and on the en-
bossed menus OF the hotels where
wealth and fashion flock. 1t again
takes its honored place, to gladden.
with its presence the heart of old and
young.
New York-pre-eminent in most
things-is the greatest pumpkin pie
eating city In the world. During the
season, from September to February,
there are, on an average, more than
$4,000 pumpkin pies day eaten In
that city. Estimating each pie to con
tain five pieces, an army of something
like $4,000 pumpkin eaters mustera
daily.
To make $1,000 pies day requires
$4,000 pounds of pumpkin and 10000
quarts of milk. Such dry, prosaic and
exact things as figures are hardly in
keeping with the poetic pumpkin; but
1t is interesting to figure out the fact
that in the four months or SO during
which the pumpkin pie flourishes there
are about 100000 pounds of the fruit
used to make the pies which are eat
en- in that city, and million and
quarter quarts of milk. With q pencil
and an Imagination interesting figures
OF the consumption of the United
States at large might be worked out
In the days when people who are
now middle-aged were boys-for 1t is
to the male sex primarily that the
pumpkin pie has always appealed
pumpkins were raised as q stolen
crop" few seeds placed at intervals
IN a field of Indian corn or potatoes
often giving, besides the regular crop,
. ton of pumpkins.
But now the pumpkin. though still
to some extent raised in the old way,
has attained the dignity of being con-
sidered worthy to be raised for itself
alone. Pumpkin farms are numerous
all through the central and New Eng
land states, and yield good returns to
their proprietors.
The largest pumpkin farm near New
York is in Monmouth county. N. j.,
where tract of 300 acres is given
over principally to the raising Of pump
kins. The cultivation of the fruit, too.
is no longer haphazard affair, but is
conducted on scientific principles, the
soil being thoroughly fertilized with
the special view Of providing the kind
OF richness needed In the pumpkin.
