SOUNDS PRAISE OF THE PIE.
"Perfection of Feasting," Says Writer
1 Compared to Ambrosia of the
t Immortal Gods.
Pie alone, or as a prelude or post
lude to appropriate viands, is the per
fection of feasting. It may be grace
before meat or after, but it is always
a benediction, a blessing. There are
travesties of pie, but of them we do
not speak. Pie that is worthy the
name, pie that is pie, is the light that
never was on sea or land of Cockaigne,
the consecration, and the poet's dream
of fast breaking the fine fancies of
transcendentalism were nourished on
pie for breakfast It is heaven's best
gift to man. We do not know exactly
what the ambrosia of the immortal
v gods may be, nor their nectar either,
but there is reason to believe that
-the Olympian bill of fare is the pie
and milk of mortals. At least, it is be
yond mortal mind to imagine a more
excellent menu, and the perfection of
pie itself is its all-encircling outer
edge of crust
If the appreciation of pie is to begin
at its crisp circumference, why are
pies divided into wedges? The in
stinct of the race is sound upon this
r point and is the convincing answer.
'a pie is not made; It grows under
r the hands of genius, and its periphery
is the finishing touch of creation. It
is the last word in pie. The apex of
a wedge of pie is the alluring over
ture to a crescendo of delight which
reaches its climax in the "crust end,"
and as this crust becomes part of one
self one knows what pie is for. The
"crust end" Is the final cause of pie
itself, its raison d'etre, the solution
of the blissful riddle, why is pie. It
is the last act of the play with a
happy ending, the concluding chapter
of the romance in which they lived
happily ever afterward. It is that
which whets the appetite for another
wedge. It tastes like more. New
York Evening Sun.
NERVES RASPED BY WEATHER
Fat Man Suffering from the Heat
Made Things Uncomfortable
for Conductor.
Between the warmest hour in the
day and the hottest man on his car, a
conductor on a North Nineteenth
street trolley put in a decidedly em
barrassing five minutes yesterday
afternoon.
The perspiring passenger, a short
fat man, with a remarkably red face,
sat in the center of the car, with his
head as far out of the window as safe
ty permitted. The conductor, also
very warm, touched him apologetically
on the shoulder.
"Old I get yours, sir?" he asked.
Drawing in his head with a jerk,
the fat man glared at the conductor
ferociously.
"Don't you know?" he demanded.
The conductor smiled faintly and
explained that in a crowded car he
could never be quite sure whether he
had collected all fares or not
"It's your business to know, Is it
not? That's what you get paid for.
isn't it?" pursued the other.
"Yes. sir; but"
"Well, if you've failed in"your duty
you may expect no help from me,'
and the fat man poked his head out oi
the window again.
And as the conductor retreated as
gracefully as possible under the cir
cumstances the glances bestowed
upon him by all within earshot were
expressive of almost everything but
sympathy. Philadelphia Times.
A Drunken Clam.
"I once tried if a bed of clams
would get drunk," said a clam opener
"They did. I guess there's nothing
living except a good man and a good
woman that won't get drunk if you
give it the chance.
"I had these clams In a little salt
pool down Watertown way. On6
morning I poured some whisky intc
the water. By jingo, they all got drunk
in no time. Drunk as fiddlers!
"How did I know they were drunk?
By their open mouths, of course
Their mouths hung open in such a
silly way. I could put my hand In
they tried to close on me, but it was
no go I could put my hand in and
drag a drunken clam clean out of hit
shell without his knowing it
The bed of clams got over thei

DECALOGUE FOR FIRST VOTER
Drawn Up by Boston Clergyman with
the Object of Encouraging
Civic Virtue.
A meeting was held at Faneuil hall,
Boston, recently for the purpose oi
"encouraging immigrants in taking a
practical interest in the civil affairs
of the country and of the cities in
which they live." Among the mem
bers of the Boston Equal Suffrage as
sociation, under whose auspices the
meeting was held, was Rev. Mr. Elch
ler, who presented for adoption this
document, which he called "a first
voter's decalogue:" "I. Love thy coun
try, which has redeemed thee from
tyranny and bondage. 2. Thou shalt
not worship any political idols, noi
bow down to them, nor serve them,
for their iniquity will be visited on
thee and thy children until the third
and fourth generation. 3. Thou shalt
not take the name of patriotism in
vain, nor use It to hide thy selfish mo
tives. 4. Remember the day of elec
tion to keep it holy. 5. Honor the
sanctity of the ballot that the days
of the republic may be prolonged. 6
Thou shalt not kill the spirit of free
dom by neglecting to exercise the pre
rogatives of a freeman. 7. Thou shalt
not adulterate the purity of civic life
by entering politics for gain. 8. Thou
shalt not encourage public servants tc
steal by thy indifference. 9. Thou
shalt not let greed for political re
ward bear false witness against the
spirit of patriotism. 10. Thou shalt
not covet a public office which thou
art not fit to fill."
Valuable Suggestion.
It is said that severe paroxysms of
coughing may be arrested by giving
the patient a teaspoonful of glycerine
in a wineglass of hot milk. This is
one of the simple remedies which are
dear to the heart of the practical
woman, and it is so easy to remember
that it may serve to alleviate the suf
fering of some unfortunate.
Frivolous Modern Society.
In the Victorian era a young Eng
lish woman was in the fashion if she
attended half a dozen balls in the
season. By degrees her ambitions in
creased until now a dance every
night is not considered too much.
Thus the number of dances during the
season has vastly increased.
Low Equator Speed.
It is true that every function of
body and mind slows up about 20 per
cent, and permanently, too, after six
months under the equator. Faster
telegraph operators sent from here to
New Orleans after a few months fail
perceptibly in speed and siever f,
cover. New York Sun.
Philosophy of Dress.
A duchess may be as shabby as she
pleases, and, in spite of socialism and
a badly hanging skirt, she will remain
a power in the land; but the suburban
lady does not care to be seen with her
best friend if the latter be wearing an
old-fashioned frock. Black and White.
For the "Near Insane."
There has been recently incorporat
ed in New York a neurological insti
tute for the study and treatment of
nervous and mentally disturbed pa
tients and for the training of physi
cians in the diagnosis and care of
this class of disorders. We doubt
whether there Is foundation for.
the general belief that these disturb
ances are more frequent and more
destructive than in earlier genera
tions, or in other countries, but it is
certain that they are common and de
structive enough to cause grave con
cern, and it is certain that increased
attention to them by the medical pro
fession and by public spirited philan
thropists will prove a wholesome cor
rective to certain unscientific and er
ratic notions which have gained ra
ther extraordinary currency. From

Play Piano for Bad Children.
Dr. Julia Seton Sears, the renowned
metaphysician, has done considerable
experimenting at her school in Osca
wanna. N. Y.. in correcting the faults
of children without punishing them
Her advice to mothers is to play on
the piano for their children when
they are disobedient instead of pun
ishing them. She says to play some
thing the children know, as theh
childish emotions, are not so respon
sive to unfamiliar airs. She is con
vinced of the infallibility of this cure
and says it is equally effective in the
case of grown-ups. Worry, anxiety
care and irritability may all be
soothed by certain classes of music,
according to Dr. Sears.

BEAUTY AND FORTUNE .FLED.
Three Woman to Whom Life Has

beauty and fortune could attain. To-.,
day they are cruelly disenchanted.;.
One is the Russian -Countess Pavlov.'
na Lavetsky. She was received at
the court of St Petersburg. .Herhus
band had castles, hundreds of" serfs,
millions of rubles. She had more
jewels than the wife of a maharajah.
But the count, an ardent soul, joined,
hands with the revolutionists'. Im
plicated in .the Riga affair he was.
shot His possessions were 'confiscat
ed. The countess led. She found a ref
uge in Geneva. Soon the little money
she had brought with her was gone.
She sold her jewels and found herself,'
empty-handed. Then, courageously,,
she accepted a humble position In a
cafe. She is1 there today waiting up;
on the patrons.
Another Is the countess of Beau
clerc, who a few years ago at Rome
inspired Prince Victor with love.
Were they married? She says so, the
prince denies it Their child had ft
Its godmother Queen Marguerite," who
gave it her name. The prince went
to Brussels to forget his Roman ad
ventures. The countess is at Milan,
making hats and doing needlework. .
The third is the baroness of Grou
stadt, whose authentic titles go back
to the middle age. She is a' dress
maker in a Parisian workshop. Poor
women! Their romance is more cruel
than those of the novelists. Le Crl

"PIPE OF PEACE" RESTORED,
Graduates of Colby College Are This
Year Enabled to Continue Old
and Honored Practice.
When the class of 1862 left Colby
they introduced a custom which lasted
until 1903, with all the succeeding
classes, says the Lewlstown Journal.
This custom was that of smoking on
commencement day a pipe, which was
kept at the college for this purpose,
and on this eventful day in the lives
of the graduates they all took a smoke
from the pipe, whether they had
ever smoked before or not The so
called "Pipe of Peace" 'was an im
mense pipe with a stem two feet long
and a bowl with a human face en
graved upon it in the front while
around the sides were found many
other profiles. This wonderful pipe'
remained at the college for forty-odd
years and was smoked by every maul
who graduated during -that time, but
in 1903 it mysteriously disappeared:
and was not heard from until the
past week, when it was returned tc
the college. With the disappearance
of the pipe the custom disappeared,
and thus the classes since '1903 have
not had the privilege of smoking a
"pipe of peace." Now, however, that
the pipe is safely back at the college,
and Is being watched over by Dr. Hall
at the library, it is very probable that
the old custom will again be taken up
and that the class of 1909 will on com
mencement day of this year be- seen
puffing away at this valuable old relic
A Woman Onion Grower..
"You may have heard how. the Rio
Grande country has put the Bermuda
onion growers out of business," said
Capt George H. Darter of Laredo, J
Tex. "Our most successful grower,
by the way, is a lady, "Mrs. E. C. Dodd,
who lives in my town. She cultivated
135 acres this season and made a net
profit on her onion crop of a little
over S50.000. To make land bring a
gain of 400 an acre is- something few
men have the ability to do, and yet
this lady does not seem to regard her
feat as entitling her to any great
praise.
"Mrs. Dodd looks after every detail
of her farm In person. Raising onions
Is no child's play; it involves' hard
work and great expense in our sec
tion, where irrigation is necessary. It
Is the intention of Mrs. Dodd to plant
on a still bigger scale as she gradu
ally brings more of her land under
irrigation." Baltimore American.
Ths Little Blind Bats.' .'
Beneath the ruin there still -existed
a dungeon vault -gloomy and granite
groined, yet, s'ave for broken wail and
stairway, perfect- as when' poor
wretches moldered there at the mercy
of their feudal masters. Now not .so
much as one specter of a vanished
sufferer haunted the place; only the
bats passed their sleeping 'hours
among the arches of- the roof and
hung, from five-clawed hands,- with
sinister, wrapped ' wings like' little
dusky cherubin -- that worship with
veiled faces at some mystery-seat of
evil. Eden Phllpotts, "Sons of the

scribed on every car," said the bishop.

MAD ACCORD HARD fo BEAT

Truthful .Yarn That Ended Dispute as

Paying Claims.
A'prominent Iffe insurance agent in
a western city tells about an argu
me'n't two rural representatives of in
surance companies had recently. They
,were carrying .on their conversation
fin -.county court iday, and were being
listened, to .by a considerable num
ber of farmers and others. One of
the-agents-declared that his company
had ' estabitsheir a record for the
t quick -payment 'of death claims. As
evidence df' this "fact he' said that
'hot; long" De'for'e" a policyholder had
died and his widow had been given
a .ch'eck, covering .the. amount of the

to keep wo'I so as I ' o"v"te the nec
essary injuuctio.t of Li.- doctor to put
his tongue out. for by this thrust out
sign the doctor shall known him.
The tongue of the tnl'ser when ob
truded inclines to the right side of the
mouth, we are asked to believe,
whereas the seldom used tongue grav
itates to the left side. Orators, preach
ers and barristers are endowed with
right sided tongues. Verbally parsi
monious persons have left sided
tongues.
Furthermore, "the tongue that
shoots out straight without turning
or wavering indicates a solid, relia
ble man of affairs." Tongues that
turn up indicate impractical natures
A downward, drooping tongue belongs
to a person born to poverty and a
ready eye for the hopeless side ot
things.
The cruel tongue flattens and
broadens when extended. The deli
cate speaking organ with curled up
edges Is the property of an imagina
tive and artistic being. When the
tongue issues fortli as if gripped in
a dental vise, it signifies a love of
life more than ordinary.
Finally we are warned that the In
dividual who thursts forth his tongue
to its extremest verge is a person ti
whom no secret should uvor be con
fided, for he is an irresponsible chat
terer. OF A TYPE THAT HAS GONE.
Oldtime English Coachman Had Ideas
That Would Shock Modern Ex
ponents of Hygiene.
"I rode to Brighton one June day
with Alfred Vanderhilt on his coach.'"
said a Minneapolitan. "It was fine.
"We chatted; Mr. Vanderbilt and I,
like two old friends, and the coach
tooting its horn, bowled out of London
with all the cabbies giving us the
whip salute, and soon struck tlit
white road to the sea.
"As we glided along that white
road, between groves loud with bin!
music, through quaint old villages and
over hills that gave us glorious views
of the sunny, windy downs, Mr. Van
derbilt told me stories of the old
coachman of the past. It seems he
collects, you know, coaching prints
rare old books on coaching, coaching
anecdotes and so forth.
"One coaching anecdote he told me
was about the way those fat red
coachmen of old could endure tho
cold.
"On a January day of wind and
sleet, he said, the coachman of tha
Liverpool mail made fun of a shivering
passenger who shared the next seat
with him.
"The coachman, red and comfort
able in the storm, looked at the blue
and shivering passenger with con
tempt. Finally .he sneered and said:
" 'I daresay as yer one o them girds
wot washes their feet, eh? Well,
there's a pair of feet in these erc
boots of mine wot ain't been washed
since I was a nipper. Wash my feet?
I'd as soon think o washin' ray
'ead!'" Exchange.
Working for Oneself.
Business Is a great educator
working for others often cripples inborn-
capacity and renders the in
dividual a mere working machine.
The man who works for himself un
folds his powers and grows. His
faculties are all alert and every re
source taxed to the utmost to bring
about best results. The strug to
get on develops the best that is in
manhood these are the points in
favor of business life, but they are
offset by many risks.
Wedding Ring Etiquette.
"What is the etiquette of the wed

widow. "Do you wear the rings giver
you by all your husbands, or that o
the last one only? I see you don'
wear any?"
"You wear the ring of the husbanc
who pays you alimony." said she
"That's why I am rinsless."
