Most of us easily. and, let adventure
to say, naturally, call it "punkin' pie
but this-unintentionally, Of course--is
the malevOlence of INSTRUMENTATION.
There is no punk in pumpkin.
Pumpkin pie is delectable. some
OF the scientists, or perhaps near
scientists, say that fish is brain food.
If they would eat n couple Of quarters
Of pumpkin pie once a day for a week.
they would know where gray matter
really has its origin. -.' - r. :.
The frost sometimes may be on the
pumpkin, as the Hoosier poet tells us,
but it is never on the pumpkin pie. The
only place where it meets with q freeze
out is in the restaurant wherefthey at
tempt to make squash masquerade as
pumpkin. We always have had a susS =
cion that some restaurant table spread
ers do not know what they are serving.
We ran against proof of it the other
day, when on ordering pumpkin pie
we received counterfeit slab OF
squash, and on demonstrating were
told by the ,ungenial personal pur-
veyor chat Squash and pumpkin Is the

Volcanic Disturbance Of 1888 One Of
: tho Most Violent Of Which There
VII Is Any Record.

Krakatoa, u volcanic island in tile
Strait of Sunda, between Java and
Sumatra, was in 1883 the scene Of
one Of the most tremendous volcanic
disturbances on record. The crater
walls fell in, together with part OF
the ocean bed. carrying with 1t two
thirds of the island. which had total
area before the eruption Of 13 square
miles, and. creating two small islands.
which subsequently disappeared. AT
the same time a gigantic ocean wave
inundated the adjoining coasts Of Java
and Sumatra, causing loss Of $4,000
lives and the destruction Of 800 viii
lagos, and then careered round the en-
tire globe. The noise of the eruption
was heard for distance Of 1000 and
even 5000 miles. The occurrence like
wise set up a series Of concentric at
1nospherlc waves, which travelled at
least three times around the earth.
The dust and other finely COIN
minutetl debris cast up by the explo-
sion gave rise during three years or
more to weird sun CLOVIS Of wondroYs

Humphrey Marshall viii Long Be
+; Remembered a. Writer Of the "
| First American Botany. .'

Humphrey Marshall, author Of the
first American Botany, was a ,dfstin-
guished pioneer. ,horticulturist. He
was cousin Of John Bartram, and
his own garden at Marshalltown, Pa,
was almost as famous as the we'll
known Bartraln's garden at Kingses-
sing. y
In 1880 Humphrey Marshall began
to prepare an account Of the forest
trees and shrubs of this country,
which was completed and printed at
the, end Of 1855. Its. full title was
"Arbustun. Americanum the Ameri-
can Grove, or an Alphabetical Cata-
logue OF the Trees and Shrubs, Ma
tives of the American United States"
1t was considered useful and highly
creditable work for the times. Mar
shall, was the author also Of the I'm
PRODUCTION to the Knowledge and
Practice Of Gardening" which was the
second horticultural work. printed in
America Ittappeared in 1900.
The old stone house wherein Mar
shall lived and wrote his famous books
still stands in the midst Of the trees
and shrubs that he planted. 1t is in
an excellent state Of preservation, and
is most interesting with its quaint
cupboards. closets, and hooks. A

To Take Bruises Out Of, Furniture.

Oftentimes in moving furniture it
gets bruised, leaving a dent or small
hole. This dent or bruise can be easily
raised TO the surface again by wetting
the part with warm water: double IA
piece of brown paper five or six times,
soak it in warm wafer. and lay it ON
the place; apply on that a warm, but
not hot. flatiron, till the moisture is
evaporated. If the bruise be not gone,
repeat the process. After two or three
applications the. dent 4orl bruise will be
raised to the SURFACE. If the bruise be
small. merely soak 1t with warm water,
and hold a redhot iron near the sur
face keeping the surface continually
wet; the bruise will soon disappear.

II is worth while to note those that are
popular just now, because they are the
pillows that will be used for holiday

In shapes, the round pillow leads In
popularity, followed by the square pill

some oval models and an occasional
odd shape, like the small triangular
pillow shown in the picture. Taffeta
