Salt on French Roada

AS general rule. the roads In and
around French towns are tarred at
the commencement Of the summer in
order to abate the dust nuisance. 1t
has. however, been found that tar.
although excellent In the case OF
macadamized roads. Is of little or no
value where car lines exist and paved
street crossings intersect the roads In
every direction. as tarring cannot be
carried out on stones.
The authorities. basing their action
on the weli-known hygrometrical
properties OF common salt. have made
a test OF its value in laying the dust
Twenty yards of roadway have been
sprinkled literally with salt and then
watered freely. II the results are sat
istactory. salt will be used throughout
the town OF Havre. it being impossible
to tar the majority OF the streets. as
they are paved with rough stone
blocks.

Apple pie is one of the most popu-

TOO plain a crust. More than any
other does the apple pie demand the
tenderest fiakiest crust that 1t is pos

the top shelf to brown.
Some Of the flavorings and varla-
tons that have been tried are the use
OF grated nutmeg or cinnamon and OF
the grated rind of lemon and three
whole cloves to the filling: the grating
OF cheese over the crust; the addl-
ton OF one or two spoonfuls OF other
fruit. such as preserved grapes
cooked cranberries, dates. raisins or
ounce jelly.
A man told of wonderful apple pie
which had thin bacon. dried very crisp
and brown. spread over the fruit De-
