Wasn't it on Senator HovveH's motloi that It waa drawn back ? Senator Osborn No , I sent up the firs motion to recall It and that wasn't In order or my motion was to reconsider , and 1 wasn't In order because It had to bo callci back first. Q , You remember the first bomb that WAI shot Into the hill was on the same day ol its passage when I arose there and made s protest against the way bills wcro belnp passed and referred to a certain bill that hai passed and received my sanction not kno1- Ing Its nature ?

That was why I looked It tip. Q. On the day of Ha passage ? A. Yes , sir. sir.Q. . And then the next morning Is when action was taken to recall H ? A. Yes , eir , You said "That Is not the right kind ot a bill , Brother Lee ; " that was the language and that arousd my suspicions and I ox- anvned It. I hadn't ever examined it closely. Witness excused ( To bo Continued Tomorrow. ) TO AI10MSII Pin. The Great Amorlrnii InNtKudnn In Peril. Scientific Inquiry diligently pursued has discovered a hitherto unsuspected source ol peril to the pupils of the public schools. In seeking the causes of recurrent Indigestion , colic , dyspepsia , drowsiness and nervous Ir ritability among the children attending these Institutions , relates the New York Mall , It baa been ascertained that the burden of re sponsibility Is chargeable to plo and the devastating effects ot the plo habit. The Board of Education has therefore beer called upon to abolish pie from the school curriculum and from the lunch baskets ol school children. It is seriously represented that plo Is an obstruction to the progress of education , and that until It Is totally eliminated the schools can never fully per form the Important work for which they arc designed. This revolutionary movement In volves no reflection upon the moral Integrity of tbo modern pie. It concerns itself entirely with the baleful effects of the pie habit upon the physical nnd mental condition of these of Its Juvenile victims who go to school. It la proposed to rescue these Innocents from the withering embrace of the great' pis spec ter , to banish Indigestion and doubt from their fair joung lives , and to make sute that all their vvaja may bo free from sorrow row and biliousness all ot which , It Is pro foundly believed , can be most directly ac complished by a formal rule forbidding them to Indulge In plo during school hours. Fortunately , however , this radical reform la aimed only at the ostentatious but decep tive plo of commerca , the deep-chested , brown-skinnod pie ot the lunch counter and the street peddler. It is the mysterious roady-mado pie of unknown ancestry that doea all the harm. Gloss 10 every school in the city is some enterprising dealer who day by day hands out alluring wedges of cold , eoggy , Irresponsible plo in exchange lor the pennies of the pupils. Day by day thesa unsuspecting children consume chaotic masses of half-baked pastry and fruit until indulgence becomes a habit and habit makes dyspepsia a household word in the homes of their anxious parents. The revolt of the school authioritlea against the anonjmous pic Is all right. The undated pie , bearing neither letters of credit nor a clean bill of health , must go. It Is a threat of stomach ache mental laEeltudo and nervous deprsEslon to the vvholo army of school children. It must bo outlawed , smashed and permanently ex terminated In the Interest of Juvenile health ind educational progress. Meinwhlle the home-made plo will retain Its honored place in the economy of the household , a thing of unfailing charm and goodness. It is beautiful and wholesome If It bo the old-fashioned apple plo In hunt ing cases , not a single germ of Indigestion lurks beneath Its russet crusts. If It be a lalnty custard plo of the opcn-faco variety , Lhero Isn't a hint of stomach echo In all its ; olden contents. The home-made plo has a reputation of Its own ta sustain. . It Is hon- : st , frank and modest , never pretending to ; o what it Is not and too upright to deceive ; vcn a child as to Its character and conatl .utlon. Against the old-fashioned homc- nado plo , Including Us variations In the 'orm of tarts and oven "dlpsles , " neither ichool reformers nor social agitators dare o protest. It Is an Institution which is as Irmly established as our laws It would irobably have gene into the constitution It- iclf if It had not already been so largely ab- lorbcd by the makers of that Immortal In- tiument.

"And wo had the boat apple sauce , " &ali ! a young girl , when telling ot a visit to c dear old aunt. "Wherein did It differ from all other apple plo sauce ? " the mother queried quizzically , For the mother thought sha know all thrc vvas to know about apple sauce. "Well , I don't know1 said the young per son , "but It was the best , and she put tlii- sugar In It before she cooked It , and It wae so different from any other. " ' It so happened , relates the Household , that the mother had occasion to make eomc apple sauce for tea , nnd not to be outdone by the auntie , however worthy she might be , the mother also put the sugar In before shs cooked the apple , but the j-oung pel son said It wasn't a bit like auntto's. Now , I happened to know Just how thla auntlo really did make her apple sauce , and will tell you , besides giving you another way , too. Pool tart apples and qviwtcr them ; If veiy hrgo cut the quarters once In two. Have two quarts when peeled"and put them Into a granlto' kettle ; pour over them two cupa of sugar and set on the back part of the range- , when there la n fire lu It. Let them cook elowly until perfectly clear. Cover them cloaely. I didn't say anything about the water ? No , and that Is Just where the difference comes In ; the apples are cooked In their o\vn Juice- , and this combined with the sugar , makes a rich and delicious syrup , which will almost Jell when cold. Don't ba afraid of tholr burning to the kettle , though they will if put over a hot fire at first ; It will not take long tor enough Julco to exude to cook them , and they maybe bo left whole. They must bo cooked until they look clear and translucent. For the other reclpo , use red apples , if you can. Cut up a couple of quarts of ap ples , or have a cotiplo of quarts when they are cut. Do not pare them. Put them Into a small atone Jar. Put over them two big cufAS of augar and cover closely ; p'aco In the oven and lot them remain four hours , at least. The even should not bo very hot. The apples will como out looking as red as rubbles clear through , nn < l tasting so de licious they would tempt even a non-applo sauoo lover to try them. li ea Searles & Searles , Specialists In u nd All Private Diseases mid Disorders of Mctt Treatment faj mail Consultation lrcc.
