A PUMPKIN PIE.
The Secret of Success in Making
the Real Old-Fashioned
Article.

Some time ago "our club" gave pie
festival and, of course, invited husbands
and brothers as usual. One of the men,
bers who had been noted for her fine Gus
tards Of all kinds furnished a perfect
pumpkin pie. She was urged for a
recipe, but insisted there was nothing
unusual in her formula; until asked why
the pumpkin custard didn't break into
cracks in the baking, her answer was:
Use more eggs and less pumpkin" And
this is the secret of success with pumpkin,
apple or sweet potato custards, says a
household authority.
When mother used to make them
she took her time in cooking the pump
kin. Deep colored pumpkins were con-
sidered best. The pumpkin was cut up
and the seeds taken out. The slices we're
pared and cut into smaller pieces, put
into sauce pan with but little water and
cooked slowly till tender, then set on
the back of the stove where it wouldn't
burn and slowly cooked, stirring often
until the moisture was dried out. The
pumpkin looked dark and rich when it
was pressed through a colander.
To three cupfuls of the prepared pump
kin, add one and one-half cupfuls of
sugar, the yolks and whites of five eggs
beaten separately, pinch of salt, one
tablespoonful each Of ginger and CHINA
mon and one quart of milk Beat all to-
gether till we'll mixed and foamy and
bake in a moderately slow oven till a
wooden toothpick inserted comes out
clean. If the pastry is not baked enough
to leave the pan readily it must remain
in the oven for a short time to finish.

Tommy's Essay ON P1eachers.

The following essay by a youthful

curats have to do it. Curat is a thin

projects he has drawn to him support
from many of the master minds of the

Dowie has built city of from 1000 to
10000 people. In it he has established
number of industries, and these in
dustries have paid dividends. What
these dividends have been paid from
the public do not know. Dowie claims
they are paid from the earnings, his ene-
mics claim they are paid from the tithes
collected by the church. Interest on the
investments are guaranteed up to u

met thus far. Deeds for the land upon
which Zion City is builded are made out
in Dowie's name. The people have
builded homes upon these lands, which
have not yet been fully paid for. Ittakes

perfect safety, be used for medicinal
purposes. This idea was passed from
