How to Make German Pie.

A delicious pie of German origin is
gaining favor here. 1t is made of crust
raised over night, as bread is raised,
with the addition of an egg worked into
it in the morning. Sweetened to taste,
this crust is rolled out about an inch
thick, laid in a pan and the edges
trimmed. Peaches cut in slices are then
pressed into the dough, sprinkled with
sugar, and grated lemon may be busted
over the fruit. Apples may be used in
stead of peaches, and likewise buckle
berries.

PRESERVING FRESH MEATS.
If Canned According to Directions
Beef and Pork Can Be Kept
for Many Months.

With the following methods the
housewife can keep meat from butcher
ing time fresh and sweet for months.
The meat should not be long exposed to
the air, but used as soon as it is cold and
firm. Slice the steak or frying meat,
sprinkle the bottom of quart fruit cans
freely with salt, pepper and the least
perceptible dash of pulverized saltpeter
and borax; borax is used freely in meat
packing houses. Put in layer of sliced
meat, sprinkle with salt, pepper, ETC., as
before; fill to witein an inch of the top
with layers of seasoned meat, pressing
each down very firmly, leaving no air
spaces. Season the top layer more
freely and fill cans to the brim with
softened, not melted, lard; Theoretically
seal, put in paper bags, keep dark and
cool. Meat so canned in February was
sweet and nice in August.
Cut boiling and baking pieces into
small sections, pack in large stone
crooks, press down and season as before,
but more freely, filling all interspaces
with bits of meat dropped in salt Cover
with lard to the depth of an inch; will
keep until May or June. Slice side pork,
or what is usually kept in brine pickle,
fry and season as if for present use and
pack in large jars, covering as before
Will keep the year around and taste
like fried fresh pork. Well seasoned
sausage packed in the same manner will
keep until early summer. Slice ham
from the bones, remove the rind and the
dark, rough edges of the slices, pack
solidly in jars and cover an inch deep
with lard. Will keep Indefinitely.
Whenever meat is taken from any OF
these jars, Immediately warm the lard,
strain and return to the jar-St. Louis

How crowded is celestial space:
The stars seem prest for room;
Yet each With its peculiar grace
Drops through this neither gloom
A beam from else an empty place
Behold what streams Of stellar light
Meet where ! walk alone!
How. where converge those arches briph
Upon her sapphire throne, ="
Presides the solemn Queen of Night!
There's not a star flake in those drifts
Which bank the Milky-way.
But through yon silvery network Sits.
And on my feet which stray
Its far-off trembling beacon lifts.
Nor keeps It back one single ray,
Because tbs weak and small,
But loves to light my lonely way,
And fain its beam lets fall
And sweetly shines because it may.
The lamp hold is weak and small
Amid earth's moral night;
sometimes think II 1t should fall,
No one would miss it's light, .

WHAT HAVE WE DONE TODAY

We shall do so much in the years to come.
But what have we done to-day?
We shall give our gold In princely sum,
But what did We give to-day
We shall lift the heart and dry the tear.
We shall plant a hope in the place OF rear,
We shall speak the words of love and cheer,
But what did we speak to-day?
We shall be so kind in the after-awhile.
But what have we been to-day?
We shall bring to each lonely lie smile'
But what have We brought to-day?
We shall give to truth grander birth,
And to steadfast faith a deeper worth.
We shall feed the hungering souls or earth;
But whom have We fed to-day?
We shall reap such joys in the by and by.
But what have we Sown to-day?
We shall build us mansions in the SKY,
But what have we built to-day!
IT'S sweet In idle dreams to bask.
But here and now do we our task!
Yes. this is the thing our souls must ask:
What have we done to-day?

Maps.

Robert Louis Stevenson, one of the most
notable English writers known to the pres
ent generation, was wont to say that moth
ing interested him more than the perusal
OF good map; and without doubt, a map
that is well made and accurate catches the
eye and arrests the attention of many peo-
pie as few other things can do.
The men IN charge of railway traffic pos
sess most positive appreciation of this fact
and large expenditure of time and skill
full thought is made on this feature of rail-
way publicity, so that such portions of the
country as the Black Hills in South Dakota,
the wonderful mountain ranges compactly
rising tier upon tier throughout the
central and western portion of Colo
RADIO, the rich valleys and hilsides of
California, covered with vineyards, or
chards and grain fields, Yellowstone
regions of interlacing lakes and water
courses which mark that portion of the great
northwest located in upper Wisconsin,
southern Minnesota and that part of Mich
igan known. as the Upper Peninsula, have
been mapped in detail and given to the pub

western country have been similarly taken
up and maps OF most complete character
made for them; in fact, the western lines
are fully alive to the value of a good map

Valuable Points in Flowing.

Farmers use the cultivator for plow;
that is, they cultivate deep, with the OBJ
ject of loosening the soil between tho
rows. If the ground is to be broken up,
the plow is the thing to do it with, bur
two inches is sufficient depth for cult
walton. Grass and weeds should never
be allowed to grow to height to de-
mand blowing" with cultivator. Keep
the top soil loose and never allow grass
or weeds to more than sprout above
ground. Deep cultivation frequently
does harm in.disturbing the roots Of the
plants grown as a crop.

The Color of Hair.

From the color of a mans hair may
be learned a good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability, says a professor
who has for some months been closely
studying the subject. School boys with
chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely
t. be more clever than any others, and
will generally be found, at the head of
the class, and in like manner girls with
fair hair are likely to be far more studi-
Gus and bright than girls with dark hair.
In mathematics and Rotations these
boys and girls, he asserts, especially ex-
eel. On the other hand, he says that
boys and girls with brown hair are
most likely to attain distinction through
their individuality and style, and that
those with red or auburn hair do not
often excel in any respect.

LOVE LETTER ROMANCE.

Half century ago a young Eng
lishman, while travelling, met beau
tiful girl and promptly fell in love
with her.
A few days later he returned home
and his first act was to write her
love letter. In it lie told her that he
could not be happy without, her and
that if she regarded his propesa+ffa~ ffa~
vorably would expect reply by the
next mail.
To this letter he received no an
swer, and so disappointed was he that
from that time until his death, which
occurred recently, he shut himself up
in his home an lived like a hermit.
Most of his time was spent in read
ing, and the day after his funeral the
heirs began to search the books in his
library, for they thought it quite
possible that the eccentric old man
might have hidden some bank notes in
them. They found none, but in a
tattered old pamphlet they found
another kind of note, the love letter
which was written fifty years ago, and
which the writer had forgotten to
mail.

HOW PLANTS CLIMB.

1t is in the twining plants, such as
bryony and hop, and the tendril bear
ers, like the vetches, that we find the
highest development of the climbing
habit, says knowledge. These plants
live under unusual conditions. In or
der to gain the light they must seek
rather than avoid overbanging foliage,
and 80 we find the vetches, instead of
turning away from the shadow toward
the light, like most of their neigh bors,
boldly pushing up in the center of a
bush, to burst into blossom amid its
upper branches, far above their less
daring neighbors
But it is in the leaves of these plants
that we find the most remarkable mod
ifications adapting them to climbing
habit. The leaves of the vetches and
vetchlings are pinnate-they bear a
number Of opposite ovate leaflets? The
tip Of the leafstalk and the uppermost
pair of pinn@ are in the climbing spe-
cies changed into tendrils-sensitive,
twining, whip-like structures, which
exhibit remarkable features. If the
slightly curved, extended tendril of a
young leaf of pea or vetch be watched
carefully it will be found that it is
slowly but necessarily moving round
and round in a circle. If the tendril
comes into contact with twig it bends
toward it and eventually takes several
turns around it. Even slight tenn
porary irritation is sufficient to cause
a bending toward any side.
Finally the tendril becomes woody
and strong and forms a secure anchor
cable for the plant. Not only does the
young tendril rotate; the whole leaf
on which it is borne is in continual
notion. The shoot to which the leaf
o,Iongs is rotating also, so that the
tendril is sweeping the air with CON-
plicated motion, in the course of which
it is almost sure to strike against some
stem or twig of the surrounding vege-
tation.
