SWEET POTATO PIE.
Lament for a Vanishing Southern
Luxury of the Olden Time.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Some of our northern and western con-
temporaries are singing the praises Of the
pumkin pie and seem to be of the opinion
that it is without an equal at the pie
counter or in the household.
In its way 1t Is very good. particularly If
seasonings are put in it to give 1t the pal
atableness that it lacks. But we cannot
admit that the pumpkin pie is equal to the
sweet potato pie, when the latter Is COM
pounded according to approved ante-bellum
receipts. We, however, have to lament that
the potato pie Is not as much in vogue as
It was of old. The reason for this deplora-
BILE condition of things cannot be found in
lack of public Appreciation; no, not that
The explanation must be that so many can
ned goods for piemaking are ready to hand,
or that the city housewife goes to the baker
for pies oftener than she did formerly, and
tato should be in disfavor with the pie
maker, except that it is old fashioned. But
whatever the reason may be, he uses the
potato scantily, where our mothers and
grandmothers used 1t lavishly. Southerners
do not show that loyalty to the sweet po-
tato pie that northernerS do to the pumpkin
pie If they did, our old-time southern IA
vorite-the genuine article now seldom seen
would have far wider reputation than it
possesses at present.
There are two methods of making the po-
tato pie. One is by MASKING, the other by
slicing the potato; but either way will give
a good result when butter and sugar. wine
and spices, are used as accomplishments.
The sweet potato pie of the present and
that Of the past are, as a rule, two We y
different things

goes directly to the Indian workers, the

Caviare nowadays is quite apt to take
the place of the oyster or even grape
fruit as a hors d'oeuvre at the beginning
OF a meal. In Russia 1T is served with
chopped onions or parsley, a bit of lemon
and a glass of vodka, as an appetizer.
Here it is spread on toast or buttered
brown bread and accompanied with lit
tie lemon. While Its cost by the jar or
little keg seems considerable to start
with, it goes a long way and makes a
much cheaper first course than either
oysters or clans. Sometimes it is served
on individual bread and butter plates, a
small fork accompanying it, or again
spread on tiny pieces of bread or toast 1t
is passed with the soup in which case 1t
is taken with the fingers.
Anchovy also makes an excellent sand
witch filing or appetizer. Anchovy toast
is made of fingers of daintily Drowned
toast, not too crisp, and buttered while
hot with anchovy butter. Set 1t in the
oven a moment to heat through and serve

CAUSE OF COLDS.
One Of the Common Reasons is Over
eating.

One Of the Common Reasons is Over
eating.
From Science of Health.
The invariable cause of colds comes from
within, not without. No one takes cold
when in vigorous state of health, with
pure blood coursing through the body, and
there Is no good reason why any one in or
binary health should have a cold. 1t may
come from insufficient exercise, breathing
of foul air, want Of wholesome food. ex-
cess of food. lack of bathing, etc., but al
ways from some violation of the plain laws
of health.
There can be no more prolific cause OF
colds than highly seasoned foods, as well
as frequent eating. These give no time for
the digestive organs to rest. and incite an
increased flow of the digestive secretions
Thus larger quantities of nourishment are
absorbed than can be properly utilized, and
the result is an obstruction, commonly call
ed cold" which is simply an effort of the
system to eXpel the useless material Prop
erly speaking, 1t is self-poisoning, due to an
incapability Of the organism to regulate
and compensate for the disturbance.
A deficient supply of pure air to the lungs
Is not only strong predsposing cause Of
colds, but prolific source of much graver
conditions. Pure air and exercise are nee
essary to prepare the system for the assimi-
latton of nutriment, for without them there
can be no vigorous health. The oxygen Of
the air we breathe regulates the appetite
as well as the nutriment that is built up
in the system.
The safest and best way to avoid colds
Is to sleep In a room with the windows
wide open, and to remain out of doors every
day, no matter what may be the weather.
Tor at least two hours, preferably with
some kind of exercise, If no more than
walking. One should not sit down to rest
While the feet are wet or the clothing damp
A person may go with the clothing wet
through to the skin all day. If he but keeps
moving. Exercise keeps up the circulation
and prevents taking cold.
The physiologic care of colds Is the pre-
Vent1on or their occurrence. The person
who does not carry around an oversupply
OF allmentation In his system, and further
more secures purified circulation by strict,
sanitary cleanliness, thus placing himself
III a positive condition, is immune to colds
A starving man cannot take cold.
A careful diet would exclude the use of
all narcotics and all food that is not thor
oughly appropriated. An overfed person is
worse Off than one who is underfed, because
the overfed body is taxed to dispose of what
cannot be appropriated, and when not prop
eriy disposed of, remains only to be an ele-
ment of danger

FRENCH WRITERS.
Men Who Pay Great Attention to the
Shades Of Expression.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Speaking of nice distinctions in the mat
ter of human speech" said a man who is
fond Of languages. Il have often wondered
why it was that the French paid more at
ence, the nuances, as one may say, in the
matter of words than other people. 1t has
been my observation that French writers
are quicker and more sensitive on this point
than the writer's of any other country. 1
suppose 1t Is due to some extent to the fact
that the French language is noted for its
delicate distinctions, some of them so sub
tie as to challenge the closest possible
scrutiny, and even then many of them are
lost.
Readers, you know, are dreadfully obtuse
at times Just at random l recall at the
moment a couple of pretty and impressive
instances from HugoS -Sinety-Three.' He
was speaking of Tellmarch, the beggar,' in
the first part of the story. 1t was after his
discovery of the posted placard on the top
of the hill, and at a moment when he was
wandering through the woods alone. Hugo
says he was inattentive to everything and
note the Observation-Disclosures to nothing.
Your wise copy readers would have cut
that out. Yet, is 1t not a pretty distinction
to make? Think over it. Speaking of Tell
march, again. he said he heard the noise
of men; he listened to the voices of birds
Isn't that a pretty idea? A man can hear
without listening and man can listen
without hearing. We all know this much
But the beggar simply heard the noise of
men, but listened to the voices of birds.
Even the words noise and voices are used
almost with dramatic effect These in
stances illustrate the point have in mind,
and they show how far superior the French
writers are to the writers of any other
tongue known to me-"

The Waterfall of Mont Cents,

From the London Telegraph.
On the Italian side of Mont Cents Is q
picturesque torrent. or waterfall, the Ca
nischia, which carries off the waters of the
melting glaciers. The quantity of water Ia
not large, but the descent is considerable,
some 800 yards. About forty miles away
stands the great city of Turin; the reader
can guess the rest of the story. A hydros
electric installation is to be set up at the
foot of the mountain, and the engineers,
Messrs. Thomson Houston, reckon on de-.
irving from the waterfall and transmitting
to Turin 10000 horsepower. For untold
thousands of years the torrent has rplashed
down the mountain side, and henceforth,
for period that cannot be forecast, 1t will
be furnishing Turin with light. heat and
energy. Many a mountain stream and cas-
cade In Piedmont and Lombardy will in tho
near future be turned into a source of elecs
trical power. which. to a country like Italy:
that imports it's coal, is an economical matf
ter of great moment. "

THE INCREASE IN SUICIDES.
More Persons, Here and Abroad, Are
Yearly Takinu Their Lives.

A rapid increase in the number OF
suicides In New York city in proper
ton to the population is shown by the
health department statistics which
have just been made public In 1892
IA persons took their lives out IF every
1000 inhabitants. In 1902 there were
22 suicides to each 100000.
This rapid increase is in line with
tendency noticeable not only In
cities but also in rural districts In
much the larger part of the civilized
world. 1t has not gone SO far as yet
In New York, however, as to bring the
annual suicide rate TO as high point
as 1t reached in some European cities.
In Dresden, for instance, the rate is
81 per 100, 900 inhabitants. In Paris
1t is IL; in Berlin, SO; in Vienna, 2s
in Stockholm, 27; in London, 23 The
lowest rates reported from any OF the
large European cities are from Lisbon
and Madrid. with only and sui
cides per 100000 per annum respec-
lively.
The statistics showing the increase
in the rate in the main European coun-
tries are very significant. In France,
for instance, as against 1871 per 100,-
600 inhabitants 20 years ago the rate
is now PA. In Germany the increase
is about the same, and in Belgium only
a little less. Austria increased by 39
per 100000 Hungary by 81. England
by 1.5, Scotland by is. Russia showed
no increase. These are the rates for
the entire population OF the countries
named. and not merely for the cities,
where the increase has been in general
much more rapid.
