One of the magazines gives the ex.
perience of the city man who was in
duced to join the back to the farm
movement and his experience is proof
that the farmers profits are not al
ways assured This amateur farmer
stuck with it two years at a net loss
of $4,000 and then he returned to the
city and gave up the venture. There
is always a good living with the op-
portunity of gaining competence on
the farm, but it takes more than hard
work to make the venture successful.
If the farm guaranteed a fortune to
every city man the cities would soon
be depopulated. But the truth of the
matter is that the average city man
couldn't raise enough on a 20O-acre
farm to supply his own table, until he
had learned the game.

CONCERNING APPLE PIE.

Kansas City Journal.-"We trust
that there was no cinnamon or nut
meg in Aunt Delia's apple pie" says
Franklin p Adams in the New York
Mail, adding: Nothing SO spells apple
pie as the lily-painting attempt that
spices make For shame, Mr.. Adams.
Why make such public exhibition of
gastronomic ignorance? An apple pie
without cinnamon and nutmeg? Why,
sir, the thing is absurd. AS we'll have
plum pudding without raisins, julep
without mint and the Mail without
Adams. He who advises such an cpl
curean solecism is no pie eater. Set
before such one the unromatic gou-
lash. Only an esthetic and refined tenn
permanent can appreciate the delicate
and aromatic exaltation of apple pie
sprayed with cinnamon and nutmeg.
A great and sturdy nation has
come from New England stock that
was nourished with apple pie. This
glorious CONNECTION is the symbol Of
home and mother. It has flourished
ever since the first brave soldiers of
Gloucester went far into the East
with hymn books and rum and re-
turned with cinnamon and nutmegs.
The minutemen were fortified with
pie-apple pie made with cinnamon
and nutmeg. On Saturdays the good
New England housewives made great
steaming, tempting. consummate APP
pie pies, rich in the fruity juices Of
Natures best product, to be consumed
cold on Sundays after Jonathan Ed
wards had opened the gates Of purga-
tory and exhibited the writhing bodies
Of the damned for the delectation Of
the faithful.
Does Mr.. Adams think for moment
that Aunt Della does not know how to
fabricate an apple pie with an ethereal
crust exuding a rare and intoxicating
aroma sweeter far than the incense
of Daphne? Apple pie is not matter
of mathematics nor of rote or rule.
The making of it has been develop
ment, and each generation of those
dear old New England cooks added
something to the art until it can no
longer be improved upon. Aunt Della
was cooking pies that were the very
apothesis of perfection long before
Mr.. Adams was eating solid food She
has devoted her whole life to making
apple pies, we might say, and an AFRO
CANT newspaper scribbler would dare
set his profane foot within Aunt Delia's
kitchen and tell her that she cant
bake pies?
No. Mr. Adams, we may have wine
without bush, celery without salt and
Hamlet without Hamlet, but never.
never, can perfect apple pie be
made without cinnamon and nutmeg.
Back to your shrimp salad, man. You
do not know what you are talking
about.

THE POSTAL DEFICIT.

crease Of over $1o,ooo,ooo in the def
cit Of $17,4so,oo handed down from

general bases his conclusions on re-
turns for the first half Of the current
fiscal year and on preliminary returns
for the third quarter ending March 81
The showing made by the postof1ce
department bears out the contentious
Of many who have investigated the
matter that the postofflce business can
be made practically self-supporting by
eliminating the red tape and adopting
more modern business methods.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
shown his efficiency by carrying out
radical reforms in che methods Of
handling the postal business. He call.

ment into conference when he first
took charge of the department. These
officers remained in conference until
they had formulated definite plans for
the betterment of their respective
services, and the recommendations
they made were put into effect by the
department. The economies thus
brought about have caused the reduc-
lion in the deficit noted by the post
master general, and the work of re-
organization is still in progress, prom

uary s, 1910. In your review of Or.
George A. Gordon's volume on "Relig'
ion and Miracle" you make the fol-
lowing quotation from Prof. Huxley:
"As for virgin procreation. 1t is not
only clearly conceivable, but modern
biology recognizes 1t as an everyday
occurrence. So with restoration to life
after death. Certain animals, long as
dry as mummies, and, to all appear.
ances, as dead, when placed In proper
conditions, resume their vitality. II
may be said that these creatures are
not dead, but merely in condition Of
suspended vitality. That, however, is
only begging the question. by making
the incapacitiy for restoration to lie
part OF the definition of death.
The quotation LIS correct except
there Is omitted after the word "oc-
currence," the words "among some
