Glory Of the Roxbury Russet Apple Pie.

To THE EDITOR or THR SuS-Sr, As the rccog-
niz"d authority on pie In Connecticut want to
indorse your remarks on the presumption OF the
Missouri chap In proclaimlng the Ben Davis apple
pie to be the best ever. He must be young In
years and young in experience. He may never
have been East where the pie Is indigenous.
, where 1t grows In all It's succucnt seductiveness
and Its prime.
The Ben Davis apple pie may BE- a good one. but
good" Is only positive There are two more de.
grccs OF com parlson. and we might say the Rhode
island Greening and the Raid win occupy the second
place and better bat the best the supe rlativc,
the omparable Is the Roxbury russet. with Its
peculiar peachy favor. Its aroma. Its mild tang.
There are two ways OF making All apple pie
One. In which the apples are quartercd, baked the
upper crust removed, the sugar, a lump OF butter
the spices and nutmeg aided and the whole mi lxcd
up. then the crust Is replaced and the pie is done
The second way and the better. is TO slice the
apples thin, put In the sugar, butter nutmeg. &C.
put on the top crust aud bake. This gives us the
pie OF pies II Is as full OF Juice egg is OF
feathers rich, syrupy Juice that is more pleasant
than Jersey appeIack or peach brandy. with none
Of their excessive cNharatlon There Is eXhilara
ton In such an apple pie but OF the better sort the
eXhn ration which expands a mans heart and soul
makes him feel a, peace with all mankind, leads
him to kindly and generous thoughts and makes
him forgive his enemies.
But russet apple pie should be eaten when freshly
baked. Acold apple pie sits heavily on the stomach.
The most active digestion hates TO attack II. II Is
a hard proposition. The hot warm apple pie
performs Its duty better After tickling the palate
1t is ready to meet the digestive fluids and sur
render Its beneAcent qualities to the nourlshmcnt

and mince pie. needs piece OF old fashioned coun-
try cheese to enhance Its value.
As to my claims as u pie champion. don't think

Revision by Evasion.

/ Among the products of American sol
there ~ saCCharlferous root commonly
known as the sugar beet A few year.
/ ago II was voclferously asserted that the
| domestic sugar beet was familiar vegc-
! table, from which nj an early day the
| United States would obtain their entire
supply of sugar 1t now appears that
we do not know what sugar beets are,
and that the domestic beet sugar II stry
il in danger of going to the bow 'ws
unless it can be proved that the roots
are not a vegetable al all.
There are various ways OF revising the
tariff One is by changing the rates on
given articles. Another is by changing
the names OF articles. As common
every day beets, such as they have been
supposed to be, these sugar bearing
roots are subject to duty of Is per cent.
They are imported in considerable guam
tity from Canada, and testimony re-
Gently submitted to the Board of APP
praisers of the Treasury Department
declares that the importation Of sugar
beets from Canada is absolutely neces-
sary if the American beet sugar business
is to continue But duty OF IS per cent.
makes them cost too much. Therefore
the proprietors of the Marine Sugar
Company of Marine City, Mich, and their
fellow sufferers desire that the roots be
classified not as the vegetables in their
natural state" which they really are,
but as crude vegetable substances,
which they are not, and thus get en-
trance free Of duty.
If the conscience of the Treasury De-
partment is so sensitive, or its intelli-
gence so keen, that it can see in beets
nothing but beets. or vegetables in their
natural state" the petitioners are will
ing to compromise and pay 10 per cent
duty on some "unenumerated unmanu-
featured articles Should the conscience
or the intelligence of the Treasury
officials remain stubborn, We are left
to infer that death blow will be struck
at an industry which we were told few
years ago would supply all our sugar
nearly 100000 tons year. at prices
which would make glad the hearts OF
consumers.
1t is a curious incident. When Cuba
sought concessions or reciprocity these
same people walled loudly for the pro.
lection Of their industry. Tariff reduc.
ton would ruin them and the farmers
who supplied their raw material. Now
they cry for a reduction of rates on q
product that competes with that do.

others were to build truly gigantic
