nutmeg and ground cinnamon, the same
amount of salt and half teaspoonful of
baking powder
This is an improvement over putting
the flavoring in with the apples as in
the old way. The whole is mixed to a
stiff paste with cold water. then turned
on to a Toured board still lumpy and
rolled out. This mashes the Jumps into
irregular layers of flakes. After roll
ing once the sides of the pastry are
folded over toward the middle, making
three folds. and rolled out again. The
top and bottom are brought together
and there is third rolling. The pas
try is now ready for use. but it will be
improved by being put in the ice box
for an hour or so.
To keep the juice in the pie. instead
of using the cloth strips. which Spoils
the edge of the pie anyway, have the
bottom crust larger than the pie pan.
Cut the apples into sections. Before
putting them In cover the bottom of
cup of sugar to a good-sized pie will
not be too much II the apples are sour.
Lay sections of apples all around the
edge. Then fill in the middle Add the
rest of the sugar Roll out the top
crust to fit and lay on. Wet the edge
all around and turn up over the top
crust the surplus of the under crust
Press down with the fingers, then mark
all around with a fork. Make hole in
cold water The oven should be fairly
hot for the first fifteen or twenty min
utes. Then the heat may be reduced
so that the apples may cook thorough
ly. 1t will take about forty minutes to
bake a good-sized pie

Bank of England Feminized.
From the New York Globe.

-
The Bank of England is hiring WON
an clerks. Young ladies' of Thread
needle street are fiocking to aid the
Old Lady of Threadneedle Street. The
financial fastness of the British Empire
has Succumbed to the intrepid English
girl Though at the beginning of the
war it was predicted that English
banks would be forced to follow the
example of certain northern countries
and fill the places made vacant through
enlistment with woman clerks, it was
SAID that the Bank of England, with
its rigid traditions, would not be one of
the first to capitulate. The suffragettes
did not force those grim portals in
their bellicose days before the war
War, however hath her victories no
less renowned than peace
AS matter of fact, it now transpires
that woman clerks had been employ ID
at the Bank of England even before
the war began, and an official of the
bank, nettled by comments he deemed
too jocose. is quoted as saying it is
no concern of the public If the bank
has seen fit to increase it's force of
woman clerks, adding that the domes-
tic affairs of the bank should be treat
ed with more reverence and reserve.
The eaEerneSS on the part of women to
get positions in the Bank of England
as soon as il became generally known
that 1t was employing them in consid-
erable mum bers is proved by the appli-
cations that are said to have poured
in by post and the streams of personal
applicants that passed daily throug1:
the forbidding entrance. And there is ne
question at all that the young Ia
dies of Threadneedle street have proved
entirely successful in the service OF
their Venera BILE protectress.

The Icebox.

II Is astonishing how little the aver

Mess ice melts it Is useless Ihe

\ large ice company offers in
pamphlet much good advice to consum-
rrs. II claims the most important
feature of good refrigerator IS ample
facility for a free circulation OF ar

warm air rises. For this reason the
oldest place in the refrigerator is the
bottom and not the ice chamber, as SO
many people thing II is and consequent

There must he suitable passages to
allow the warm air rising from 'he

for it is essential the moist surfaces OF

The secret of an economical ana ad-

Never open the ice compartment ex-

The other DOORS when putting in or

II makes little difference whether the
ice chamber s overhead or at the side
Of the food section. The main thing is
a free circulation of air from the food

MARIPoSA HAS
 MANY PASSENGERS

With close to one hundred passen- gers on board, the Mariposa arrived up from the south about nine clock last night and left at eleven after giving those on board a chance tt look the town over. The big load Of freight and the unusual number of passengers she had on board are d surprise at this time of the year, but probably indicate the big busin- ess in sight for the transportation companies this season. Among those on board for Ketchikan were J. R.. Heckman and Mrs. Heckman, Mrs '. D. Robinson and Miss c. Robin son, Glen Bartlett, wife and family z. H. Field and George F. Drake. c. w. McKenny, II.

 A suvey of the townsite of Wran- gell, where numerous Natives held lots among the whites, gave cause for closer examination of such rights; and a decision of this Department ap proved December 30, 1908, went so far in preserving the rights of Natives that the aforesaid plan of paying fol the survey of townsite by assess ment on their lots, was prohibited It went further by declaring that the Indian possessions must be set apart each as a whole and that the survey or Twill not extend any street or alley upon or across luch possessions.
 :" No doubt such decision did not purposely intend to perpetuate tribal holdings against the expressed desire of the Natives and their civilized des- cendents, but such appears to be the result in this case. The remedy lies in the enactment of a proper law by Congress, relieving the Natives from the inability terms of the present rules. ''

Burglars, evidently looking for cash more than "booze,' broke into the Cabinet Saloon last night or rather early this morning. Entrance was eff fected by taking the glass out of the back door and then forcing the lock hack. The cash register was the only thing disturbed by the robbers, who secured, according to A. w. Nor gan, who went home about one O clock, in the neighborhood of three or four dollars in dimes and nickles
 Mir. Morgan stated to the Miner Man that he saw somebody out at the back door as he was counting up his cash but could not locate them when he went out to investigate. After counting up the money he put all of it with the exception of the small change, into the safe and went home and between that time and opening lime this morning the theft was made Owing to the fact that no liquor or cigars were taken, it would appear that the theft was committed by boys, but thus far not clue has been secured as to their identity.

ALASKA
By M. Augusta Allen.

By M. Augusta Allen. Oh! I'm longing for Alaska For the land that's calling, calling Oh, I'm longing to be sailing
 Ger her winding waterways; Where the wooded shores rise steeply Where the cataracts are falling Oh, again that I might finger
 In her pleasant sunny bays. Those that know you not, oh NortE
 land, Who have never seen your beauty Deem you desolate and lonely,
 And land of ice and snow; Of your green and fertile valleys Of your meadows filled with flowers Your long days of golden sunshine,
 Of these they never know. But we who know the Northland We know her but to love her We love her from Old Dixon's
 To the Arctic regions cold; And the charm is not of riches, Nor of honor, nor of glory, And the lure that s ever calling us
 Is not the lust for gold We love her endless waters, Her majestic snowcrowncd mountains Flushed by the rose of dawning.
 Or evenings sunset deys; The mist-wreaths of her valleys, Where the purple shadows finger, As fades the radiant glory
 From the glowing western skies. We love her calm big spaces, Her impressive world of waters, The silence of her snowfields
 As the winter closes down; And we love the hearty greetings, And the welcome at each fireside, And the life and lights and music
 Of the struggling little towns. And we love the bonds of friendshi That unite all men as brothers, And the ready hand of helping
 Proffered in the hour of need Where every man is measured By the manhood that is in him, For we render, in Alaska,
 Unto every man his need.
