APPLE PIE OF seYHCoD DAYS
Description: of Dainty Tht Will Set
Many Mouths Waiting.

Let some properly infrmed Puri-
taness tell of apple pie. We speak not
of hanging and footwalla of dough
lodged with apple sauce, not of lat
ticed tarts nor open faced ounterfeits
Of the rear We speak of hat fingers
as sweet dream half fospt. a once
radiant vision dimmed By time, the
memory of a childhood ectasy. This
perfection of pie was botomed with
a crust which in the fms ed product
was saturated to the poin of precipi-
tation with the rich juices of its in
wards
But those inwards! Dared and
cored greetings, sliced I'D laid in
orderly circles, each deced in the
making with a delightful title dab of
fresh butter, sprinkled With sugar,
each particular grain of Waich came
through the baking glads,me, spark
ling, individual gems Thsre was, we
think, busting of nutm,g and per
haps with some other rict spices, the
whole covered with top crust which
was not crust, but a fluffy layer of
petals of yellow resebuds.
This. it is seen, is but an impress
sionist sketch. Let the Puritaness
willing for so great a cause to endure
publicity set down for pr Mt the just

STATE REVENUE FROM ma

In addition to the benefits secured
by fire protection and by regulations
which control the use of cumberland

supplies for local wants, The states

set any losses to the states through
withdrawal of forest acres from taxa
ton, and is devoted to public roads
and schools.
Several years ago complaints were
made that the withdrawal of timber
lands for forest purposes reduced the
taxable acres of the states in which
Withdrawals were made. The forest
service, quick to see the justice of
these complaints, recommended at
first that 10 per cent, and later that
% per cent, of the gross proceeds from
the national forests should be paid to
the states. AS result, the states are
assured of school and road funds,
doubtless more certainly thar they
otherwise could have been, since the
permanence of the forest resources is
now secured by conservative manage
ment. Had the forests never been es-
tablished, their resources would un-
doubtedly have been exhausted by
hasty and improvident methods of ex-
ploitation, leaving the land wasted
and unproductlve.

PROMISE A NEW ALIGNMENT

Missionary work among the Stall
warts mas been carried on, It's stated,
by the friends of Mr.. Cook promising
a new alignment in politics which will
resuItin an independent organization,
SubServient neither to Halfbreed nor
Stalwart boss. 1t is confidently stated
that some of the most important fact
ors in the Stalwart wing have not
decided which one of the two candi-
dates they will support and, that the
assumption on the part of the Steph-
enSon managers that the Marinette
millionaire is the choice of practically
the whole body Of StalwartS is not
sustained by the facts. Instances of
scores of that wing who not only
refuse to be turned into the Stephen
son column, but are openly opposing
him are cited.

PUTTING SAWDUST
TO PRACTICAL USE

Sawdust is one of the pulling
wastes in numbering operations. The
waste is serious, too, for the kerr
the part cut out by the saw in the
mill and transformed into sawdust-
always bears rather high ratio to
the boards obtained. In cutting thin
stuff, one-fourth of the log, or even
more, ay be kerr.
Efforts to turn sawdust into pulp
for the paper mill have usually been
unsuccessful on account of mechanical
difficulties in handling In several
European countries, however, new
way has been found of turning saw
| dust to account. The sawdust, chiefly
pine and fir, is ground with millstones,
exactly as old-time mills made corn
meal, or wheat or rye flour EXpen-
sive machinery is not required, but it
is necessary to take special precau-
tions against fires which might start
from sparks between the millstones.
The sawdust flour is sold to the
dynamite factories to be mixed with
nitroglycerin and forms the body or
absorbent for that high explosive. 1t
is also in demand for the manufacture
of cheap blotting papers. The mills
in the Harz Mountains, in Germany,
an important manufacturing center,
are kept busy meeting this demand.
The price of the flour" in Germany
ranges from $3.50 to 1850 ton. 1t is
shipped in bags, like meal, or in bales
of about 40 cubic feet, made by means
of high pressure.

The Pics of Brittany,

Brittany is all right" the travelled
man said, cautiously, but beware Of
the pigs there"
He had still an hour before the
steamer started, and he resumed:
The Breton pig is not fat and indo-
lent like ours. He is as lean and fiery
as a wolf, and twice a woolf's size.
All over Brittany you see him, swag-
gering up and down the white roads,
in search of roots, berries, frogs, any
thing-for he must forage for himself
his master never feeds him. Step
out of his way, or he will snarl and
leap at you.
1.-THE Bretons are great drunkards
Sometimes they fall asleep beside the
road They awake with sharp pain
in the arm or leg, the pain of a hun
cry hogs teeth.
And I could tell you a gruesome
story of the babyhood of a handless
Breton beggar whose parents once left
him alone in his cradle with the house
door opep-but it is too horrible"

But why do you bother t do that

"On account of fire." the jweler re-
piled. Diamonds are nothing but coal
-carbon-they burn beautifully. Their
hardness makes us think item indie
structible, but, as a matter bf fact, a
fire of diamonds would be the briskest,
prettiest thing in the worll. Put a
handful of diamonds on plate and set
light to them They will'bu with

THE Jolly SEASON For BRYAN

This time we win! OF course that's
the gathering cry today around head
quarters Of presidential nominees for
each big political party. Who so
foolish as to open a campaign with
out a whoop on his own account.
The eXuberance of pageant, dazzling
prediction, marching clubs and bands
has been seen and heard mostly in
vicinity of Lincoln, Neb. Hon. w. j.
Bryan has carefully designed the
biggest sideshow of joyful anticipation
any campaign could desire. And the
faithful, in excited throngS, pass be-
fore the painted canvas, shake hands
with Barnum himself, then applaud
unanimously at the promises of
wonderful performance when the big
show has opened,
1t all looks good to the countryman,
But even he remembers vaguely some
previous Bryan parades, very much
like this one, leading to a big tent
where a storm Of American ballots
blew down the supporting poles and
ended the circus
Is this to be another year of shout
ing and wild enthusiasm under spells
of eloQuence, and then contraSted
voting according to dictates of Gained
common sense? Is this just one more
''jolly." To be sure it is! Who
knows.
