THE FIRST PIE PLATES.
They Were Made by the Germa
Potters of Philadelphia,

They Were Made by the German
Potters of Philadelphia.
The first pie plates were made early
in the eighteenth century by the Ger.
man potters who settled in PhiladeI
phia.
After the clay was prepared it was
cut into small pieces by means of a
brass wire and taken to the work
bench to be made into plates.
The clay was roughly beaten into a
flattened form looking like colossal
buckwheat cake. This was rolled out
into a thin sheet with a roller much
like a rolling pin, and then a disk
cutter was used to cut it into circu-
lar pieces of the required diameter.
This bat, as it was called, was then
laid on a board until partly dry and
was then decorated.
The slip decoration was applied by
means of slip cup, an earthen vessel
with goose quilts inserted into the
openings, through which the liquid
slip was made to trickle over the ware
In a variety of patterns, just as icing
Is applied to cake at the present time.
The slip mixture was of a creamy col
or made Of white clay and water.
Favorite motives for decorations
were flowers, fruits and scenes, tulips
being a special pet.
A Lutheran minister asked his potter
to dine with him to discuss designs for
a set OF plates he wished to order.
AS the potter was accustomed to dine
at II, he was almost famished when
the clergyman's 2 o'clock dinner was
served. When the set of plates came
home, each with a pious sentiment in
terwOven among the marginal decora-
tons, the minister laughed to find an
extra plate. bearing this inscription: 81

Cures Without Stomach Dosing.
Hyomei Cures Catarrh by Simple
Breathing. Anders Jacobsen Re-

Breathing. Anders Jacobsen Re-
funds Money If It Fails to Cure.
A long stride toward solving the
mystery of curing catarrh was taken
with the discovery of Hyomei. In
fact, the percentage of cures by this
treatment proves it equal to the final
tests.
The folly of taking medicine into
the stomach to cure catarrh of the
nose, throat and lungs, has been real
ICED by physicians, but not until Hy-
omei was known had they a practical
method that would obviate stomach
drugging.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, and consists of a neat pocket in
haler that can be used anywhere
without attracting attention, a medi-
cine dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
Extra bottles of Hyomei cost but SOC.
Breathing Hyomei through the in
haler, every particle of air that en-
ters the nose, throat and lungs is
charged with healing balsam that
soothes and allays all irritation, kills
the catarrhal germs and enriches the
blood with additional ozone.
Anders Jacobsen has so much faith
in the power of Hyomei to cure Ca
tarrh, that he is selling it under his
personal guarantee to refund the
money if it does not give positive re-
lief.

Servants Subtle but Unsuccessful
Scheme For Revenge.
A trade journal tells ii story of an
adventure which nearly cost one OF
its correspondents in India his life. The
Indian merchant was IL wealthy man
who had got OH well with the natives
but two of his servants had had u
quarrel over girl whom they both
wooed. The merchant interfered in the
fight. The unsuccessful sutton, Laj,
began to make trouble. and his rival
the husband. warned the merchant
against him. Nothing happened for
some months. Then the merchant
went away ON business. On his re-
caught in his bedroom and locked up.
In the east this meant trouble. The
merchant called his servants and had
a thorough search made of the house.
They examined every trunk, bureau
and bedstead. every picture, statue and
crevice in the wall and crack in the
floor, expecting to find a hooded cobra
or other poisonous reptile. They scru-
tinized every knob, handle and gar
ment to see if it had been smeared
with poison or with juices which at
tracted venomous creatures. Then
they searched the wine cellar, the pam
try and the storeroom. But they found
nothing.
The merchant was tired and after
eating went to the cabinet where he
kept his cigars. 1t was Il large case of
teak and plate glass, with an old fash
toned silver Indian lock.
AS he was about to insert the key in
the keyhole Laj's successful rival, who
had been active in the search, cried,
"Look out. sahib; some one has been
meddling with that lock!'
They examined the keyhole and
found traces OF wax. When they

boxes of cigars were unopened. EIe had

THE HOTEL L.,eAkFAST,
How the American Meal Appears "a
an EnBIishman.


an Englishman.
The American hotel breakfast is
representative of the general delight in
good living. The length of the menu
and the variety of the dishes bespeak
an appetite that in the early morning
can relish a meal little less substantial
than a dinner.
The hotel breakfast begins with fruit
grape fruit if it happens to be in sea-
son, the bitter sweetness of which
seems {. -,nated by nature to awaken
the appe,i,e. And there Is really a be-
wildering problem when next you are
asked to choose among the cereals
from the old fashioned oatmeal to all
kinds of predigested preparations.
Cooked oysters in every style are Of
fered on the menu, and even in the best
restaurants a plate of oysters costs
only shilling. The choice of fish can
be made from long list-of kinds I'M
known In England, including weakfish,
bluef1sh and shad, with its delicate roe.
1t must be out of compliment to Eng
fish travellers that herring and paddock
are imported. You see them very sell
dom on an American breakfast table.
When boiled eggs are eaten they are
opened by the waiter into a glass, no
small quantity of butter being added
salt butter. for sweet butter is sell
dom served. With chops or steak the
American, who never eats cold meats
at breakfast, usually orders potatoes,
and the meal may be brought to close
with pancakes. These hot cakes. which
are made of wheat, buckwheat, rice or
cornmeal, are eaten smOthered in ma
pie strip, q delicious treacle obtained
from the sap of maple trees.
The American drinks coffee for
breakfast such a coffee as you may
find in Paris, but not in London-and
that he does not prefer tea would need
no other explanation than the failure
to understand the art of making it.
