How to Obtain Gloss on Pie Crust.
Even when the oven is quite right
and the pastry has been made mod
erately rich a woman will feel dissat-
isfed at the appearance of pie be-
cause she misses the rich brown gloss
that she has seen on pastry made by
practical cooks. To obtain this gloss
she needs a wrinkle, says the Boston
Post. It is produced by egg wash.
An egg is beaten up with a little sug-
ar, and a small quantity of milk is
added With this wash the pie is
brushed over after the pastry has been
finished.

TROLLEY PROPERTY DIVIDENDS.

T ROLLEY companies in some States are not
n so profitable as is popularity imagined.
Many persons think that trolley companies are q
permanent gold mine for their stockholders In
Massachusetts last year, during prosperous times,
40 of the IS companies failed to pay dividends,
and the other companies paid from one to ten per
cent. dividends. Twenty-seven OF them paid from
FIVE to ten per cent The high dividend payers
were the larger companies. Their dividends
make the average dividend on all the cap-
tai invested in trolley properties in the State to
more than five per cent The smaller trolley com
panies even in thickly settled community, like
Massachusetts,, are not paying investments.

Duncan b. Cooper it is said, drew his

one of the results of the recent Demo
