SQUARE PIES OF lis YOUTH CAN'T LEAVE THE OLD FOLKS
Mr.. Oldsome 10 Reminded Of Them BY
Advertisement Of Griddle for
Square Pancakes.

II hnd in . newspaper" said Mr..
Oldsome, IAN advertisement Of grid
die to cook square panscakes. Inever
before heard Of . square pancake. but
l distinctly remember that In my
youth in my home we had square pies.
II you've heard Of square pies for
heavens sake choke me off right here.
but if you haven't you might like to.
Square pies were not exactly
square; they were baked in straight
side oblong tins that were square
cornered. The pies baked in such tins
were always either pumpkin or Gust
ard, never mince or apple or any sort
Of pie with works that were chopped
or otherwise of such nature that they
would easily fall out when a piece Of
pie was lifted.
"These square pies used to cut SIX
or eight pieces to the pie. You cut
first straight down the length of the
tin from end to end in the middle and
then you cut across at equidistant
points either two or three times ac-
cording to the number of pieces into
which you wanted to cut the pie.
This gave you either six or eight
pieces In a pie, according to the num-
ber of crosscuts you made. the pieces
being each square and all of approxi-
mately the same size, exactly SO If the
cutting was done accurately as from
long practice it was likely to be. But
obviously the corner pieces had twice
as much crust as the inside pieces.
This, however was not a disadvant-
age, for some people like more filling.
some like more crust. l always used
to ask for a corner piece"

Uses Of Corn.

Experts of the agricultural depart

than thirty products are made from
corn, exclusive of whisky. Among
them are six kinds of glucose used in
table syrup manufacture; four kinds
of crystal glucose used in candy ma

WHEN HEINE SAW NAPOLEON
The Trees Appeared to Bow 70 the

German Poet.

There came day also when the
young Heine saw Napoleon: 1T was
in the avenue of the palace garden at

deeds and the battles which M. LIE
Grand had drummed to me. and my
heart beat the march of the general
and yet at the same time thought of
the police order prohibiting riding
through the avenue, penalty five shil-
lings-and the emperor with his suite
rode down the middle of the avenue,
and the scared trees bowed as he
passed and the sunbeams trembled in
fear and curiosity through the green
leaves, and in the blue heavens there
swan visibly a gold star.
The emperor was wearing his mod
est green uniform and his little cock
ed hat known the world over He was
riding little white horse that paced
so calmly, so proudly, so securely and
with such an air. =" Listlessly sat
the emperor, almost loosely, and one
hand held high the rein and the other
tapped gently On the neck of the little
horse. - The ersDeror rode calm

No agent of the police opposed him;

even II that be thought to stand for
something different, the obligations Of
family are strong and general. The
respect and affection Of English sons
for their mothers do not compare with
those Of French sons, and IN France

Salt E-ters.

Idiosyncrasy often takes the form
Of a special craving for, instead Of
an objection to, certain foods. Many
people possess an extraordinary
relish for common salt, and will eat
1t by the teaspoonful when oppor-
tunity admits. This sometimes leads
to obesity and dropsy, but it has also
the peculiar effect Of increasing the
weight One young lady who devoured
immense quantities of salt on every
possible occasion. and emptied all the
salt-cellars on the table at each meal,
would increase as much as 10-lb. in
weight in twenty-four hours, and was
frequently unable to wear dress
which was quite loose for her on the
previous day.
