OUR NATIONAL PASTRY.
Pie. the Great American Dessert, Espe-
cially in Ncx England.


PIE is consumed chiefly by the na-
tive Americans" said Clerk Fortune.
Of Chicago. TO the Milwaukee Sentinel.
"Foreigners eat very little CT II. A
German, for example. might eat three
pies year. while a good Yankee
would consume as many in a week
The English. the Italians and the
French are small pie eaters. The Eng
lish eat plum pudding and the Italians
like fruit. New England and the Mid
ole states constitutes the area of
greatest consumption, but the pie belt
extends far beyond that. as pie is ex-
tensively eaten all through the West.
Pie is eaten much more generally in
the North than in the South. Chicago
is great pie center. St Louis is not
so good. Milwaukee also ranks low.
One would not think that there are
means for ascertaining the facts in re-
gard TO pie consumption, but l have
gathered statistics on the subject dur
ing the past two years which enables
me to compute with reasonable cor
rectness the consumption OF pies in
every state in the Union. Pies are
made in greater varieties than for
merly and the supplies are brought
from greater distances-In fact, from
all parts of the world. The season of
pies made from green fruit have been
prolonged and pies are made of
canned fruit the year round. The
time-honored mince pie has become q
Christmas dessert whose place is sure
and beyond dispute. There is no ex-
port trade in pies, because in crossing
the ocean the crust would become
soggy, which, of course. is the reverse
OF the desired condition. 1t is fact
which would surprise many persons.
however, that pies are often shipped
hundreds of miles across this coun-
try"

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

Once upon time. In Hindustan, o
thief contrived a cunning plan $50 po-
tent is the voice of hope) to save his
throttle from the rope. Though now
tho day was drawing nigh when he by
law was doomed to die, he bade the
jailer tell the king he fain would show
a wondrous thing; precious secret
fairly worth the ear of any prince on
earth. And so the culprit being led
into his royal presence, said:
"This coin of gold, which now you
see, II planted, would become tree
whose fruit, increased thousand fold,
would be like this, the purest gold.
And so pray that you will try II this
be true before die"
With this, the king and courtiers
went into the garden with intent to
plant the curious coin of gold. But
now, when all was ready
"Hold!" exclaimed the thief. "This
hand of mine would only spoil our
whole design. The hand that plants
the coin must be (else all is naughty
entirely free of knavish tricks. and so
pray your gracious majesty to lay
this seed In earth"
Said the monarch, stammering with
embarrassed hesitation: "Yes--no--
er--er in my youth l might have pill
fered from my sire. Some stain may
yet remain. My good prime minister
is here. His hand, no DOUBT, is wholly
ciear."
Said the prime minister, driven into
a corner
"Oh, no; not /. You see, pay large
sums of money every day to soldiers,
sailors and a herd of spies. wouldn't
give my word | haven't kept a small
amount not entered on the book ac-
count. And since an error in the least
would break the charm, pray let the
priest proceed to plant the coin"
Said the priest. with pious mien and
with slow and measured accent:
Well, n-o-w-you see l deal in
aims and sacrificial views, and. there
fore, beg to be excused from meddling
in a thing like this where nothing
must be done amiss."
''Then," said the thief, 81 ask you
whether we shouldn't all be hung to-
gether?"
The monarch laughed and made re-
ply:
why, yes, If every rogue must die.
But since We all are knaves confessed,
I'll pardon you to have the rest"
Let him who is without guilt among
these upholders of exploitation, cast
the first stone at old John d. think,
however, they will have to pardon him
to save the rest.

Pauperism In England.

England and Wales. In the preced-
ing twelve months the number had
increased by 1888 In London and A.

The increase is general throughout
the country. For purposes of compar-

buds sold for thousands of francs, re
call the high figures which tulips once
fetched. In Holland in one year the
sales aggregated 100000 forms.
Holland went tulip mad. The bulbs

Ownership in them was divided into

At one time more tulips were sold

his trade and good will in exchange
for a bulb, which was thereafter
known as the brewery tulip. In Am

granddaughter. At Rotterdam a hun

up. The repast became as famous as

departure for his old Tennessee home.

revision, he declared that the people OF
England loved President Roosevelt.
IF the king of England were an
elective officer, and Theodore Roose-
yelt subject of Great Britain, he
would undoubtedly be sovereign.
That is what those cousins OF ours
think of President Roosevelt" is the
way he put it, "The people over there
are connected by so many ties of
friendship and kindred, that Ameri-
cans can distinguish little difference
when they get to know the English
reople. They have our sympathies,
too, and are our warm advocates and
friends. President Roosevelt is as
much popular idol over there as he
