Whence Pie

The origin of pie, especially mince
pie, like the origin of sausage. is
shrouded in mystery, but certain it is
that ii was known as far back as the
time of Piers the Plowman. and 1t
may he that in his dinner pail could
have been found the precedent which
Michael of Pittsburg now of the hos
pital, sought to follow. Those who
are surprised, after being led to be
lieve that New England is the habitat
of the article, to learn that pie is an
old English institution can easily ac-
cept the further statement that plant
ed ON American soil it forthwith ran
rampant and burst forth into an un-
told variety of genera and species" "
Like the Irish potato, which is said
to have originated in the new world,
it has been so ingrafted into the life
of its adopted country that il seems
more like a native than an alien.

BATTLE FOR THEIR RIGHTS.

The osteopathic physicians of COZ
orado will receive the recognition
and protection which they are right
fully entitled if the bill introduced
by Senator Cassidy becomes a law.
Under the medical law of Colorado as
il is at present the osteopaths have
be>S deprived of the privilege of
h. ling about their profession The
legal restrictions which are necessar.
for the protection of themselves and
their patents.
The bill provides for the creation
of an osteopathic board for the state.
This board shall have the power and
authority to hold examinations each
year. and issue license to practice
in the state of Colorado. a full rec
ord OF all applications for licenses
viii be kept. showing all details with
reference to themselves, the duration
OF their school term, etc.
The bill makes provision whereby
the osteopathic board may lay down
strict rules for the guidance of the
professional conduct of all licensed
osteopaths
The osteopaths of the state are
working vigorously to have the bill
passed. and it is probable that tardy
recognition will come to this profess
sion at this session of the legislature.

The weather was all one could wish
for-the sun shining bright.

and such dinner as one must par
take of, to form an idea of it's ex-

AN ATMOSPHERE THAT lNToxI.
GATES.


The center of the British brewing
industries, Burton-on-Trent has an
atmosphere with the peculiar quality
of causing a mild intoxication in the
stranger within it's gates. Those ma
tive to the town have been accustom-
ed to the alcoholic fumes that arise
from the innumerable watts of the
breweries, but the susceptible strang-
er invariably experiences at once an
exhilaration from the atmosphere that
gently leads to a mild intoxication.
This effect does not pass off until
several hours after his arrival at
Burton.
Just as in certain regions of the
world the arsenious fumes from the
shelters destroy vegetation and i'm
perial health, In like manner do the
vapors of the British brewing capital
destroy the sobriety of the abstainer.
Those who derive their living from
the brewing houses are said to evince
great delight in observing these in
voluntary lapses on the part of visi-
tors.

THE TREASURE CHAMBERS OF
SHIPS.

The specie room of a steamship
is an important adjunct of modern
oceanic travel, though few of the
passengers on ship know of it's ex-
istence, or of the treasures it carries
across the ocean.
The. specie room varies slightly
on different ships, but its dimen-
sions, as a rule, are: about 16 feet
long by 10 feet wide and feet
high. 1t is ingeniously constructed
of steel plates IA inch thick and
heavy door constructed Of the same
strongly riveted together. The floor,
the ceiling, and the walls are also
made of steel plates; and there is a
heavy door constructed of the same
material. Every specie room carries
up-to-date safes, entirely proof against
burglary, and fitted with all manner
of time-locks.
The gold and silver shipped in
specie rooms is usually in the form
of bars of ingots, but occasionally a
quantity of coin in bags is shipped.
