dinner was eulogizing apple pie and
her hostess when another guest who
had been California pioneer, recalled
the apple" pie given the children of
1852 to appease their hoInesick cray

soda crackers into an earthern bowl
and pouring over them a pint of cold
water rendered very tart by citric
acid. When soft the crackers were
laid on pie plate on the undercrust.
Over them We're sifted two table
spoonfuls of light brown sugar and
little allspice and cinnamon A pretty

a few minutes perfect apple pie was

Tho American Indian.

The old question Of the origin of the
red man Of America is still an open
one. the last word by no means having
been said. The most probable theory
Is that which links the Indian with
the Mongolaids Of East Africa. whose
physical characteristics are strikingly
similar to those of the American aborig-
Inc. Between the Indian and the jap
anese there are many pronounced re-
semblances. and some excellent au-

from that eastern race that the Indian
originally sprung. II. IA some think.

MAN AND THE WORLD.
A Very Small Graveyard Would Hold
the Whole Human Family.

How little mankind signifies In the
scheme of nature is shown by a rather
morose calculation OF the Italian Fro
lessor Zuccarini. who has figured out.
among other things. that estimating
the worlds population as i.50O.OUUO
the whole human race at present living
could stand comfortably shoulder to
shoulder In an area OF 800 square
miles.
Taking the number OF generations In
the past 5000 years as 100. the room
taken up by them all on the above
plan would only be half the size Of
Germany. or for the sake of com
parison less than the area Of the state
Of Colorado. To bury all the people
on earth would need graveyard little
larger than that area.
II the dust left by each body be
estimated at one-tenth cubic yard,
which Is a liberal estimate. II would
cover only forty square miles TO n
depth of about three feet. This Ger
tainly seems Insignificant compared
with the great coral reefs and other
immense deposits built up by the shells
Of tiny infusoria.-N York Sun.
