- How to Make German Pie, A delicious pie of German origin is gaining favor here. It is made of crust raised over night, as bread is raised, with the addition of an egg worked into it in the morning. Sweetened to taste, this crust is rolled out about an inch thick, Jaid in a pan and the edges trimmed. Peaches cut in slices are then pressed into the dough, sprinkled with sugar, and grated lemon may be dusted over the fruit. Apples may be used instead of peaches, and likewise huckleberries. ; . : : He Was 'Not a Vegetarian.

PATRIOTISM OF JAPANESE. From Empress Down to Peasant Girl All Make Sacrifices to Help Relief Fund. Societies and associations have been organized in Japan to relieve the families of the fightirg men, and every one makes certain contributions to the relief fund. Some men contribute money or goods, some their labor, and most of the lint and bandage used for the wounded are the works of women, from the empress down to the peasant girl, writes Nobushige Amenomori,- in Atlantic. Little boys and girls willingly forego their daily sweetmeats. and give the small moneys thus saved to the relief societies. A boy 11 years old in a country school made one day a contribution of two ven. It was thought too much for a country boy’s gift. The school-teacher and the elderman of thefvillage suspected the money might have been given the lad by his parents to satisfy his vanity; in which case it should be admonished against. An inquiry was accordingly made, and brought out the fact that the boy had actually earned the money for the purpose by devoting his play hours to the making of straw sandals. Even some criminals working in prisons have made several applications to contribute their earnings to the funds, though their wishes have not been complied with. In every village a compact has been made that those remaining at home should look after the farms of those at the front. so that their families may not be disappointed of the usual crops. Since the outbreak of the war the government’s bonds have been twice issued at home, and each time the subscripticn more than trebled the amount called for. the imperial -household taking the lead by subscribing 20.000.000 yen. Thus the hardships of the war are cheerfully borne by every man, woman'and child in the land.

The Color of’ Hair. From the color of a man’s hair may be learned a good deal in regard to his intellectual ability, says a professor who has for some months been closely studying the subject. School boys with chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely to be more clever than any others, and will generally be found, at the head of the class, and in like manner girls with fair hair, are likely to be far more studious and bright than girls with dark hair. In mathematics and recitations these boys and girls, he asserts, especially excel. On the other hand, he says that boys and girls with brown hair are most likely to attain distinction through their individuality and style. and that those -with red or auburn hair do not often excel in any respect.

No Kinship. Congressman James Hamilton Lewis, of Chicago, is the politest man in the country. When in Seattle, one night after making a fiery speech he was coming down the aisle bowing right and left. when he discovered an elderly colored lady. “Why, good evening, mammy,” the colonel said. His speech hadn’t pleased her, so she replied: “Look heah, sah, lis not yo’ mammy; you ain’t nothin’ but jes’ poor white trash’!”——Woma‘n’s Home Companion. | 3 —— A Frank Tribute, “She is beautiful,” said the studious girl, “but she is not accomplisiied “My dear,” answered Miss Cayenne, “there is no accomplizshment more difficult than being beautiful.”--Wash= ington Star. ’ Not Strange.

AUNT LIZA'S LYE HOMINY. Old-Fashioned Dish That Makes an Excellent Breakfast Food Rightly Made. Aun: 'Liza, an old-time cclored woman, makes a kettleful ¢f lye hominy every Friday, and on Saturday morning Uncle Rufe delivers it, in his dilapidated wheelbarrow, to the white folks. Recently, I had Aunt 'Liza show me how she makes her hominy, writes Grace Murray-Stephenson, in Good Housekeeping. . The white gourd seed corn is the best to use for hominy, as the Kansas corn is 'so hard that, ir it has to be used, it should be soaked over night and cooked longer than the native corn. One quart of shelled corn makes four quarts of hominy. For each quart of corn used, sift oue quart of wood ashes from hard wood; oak is excellent, cedar ashes lacking sufficient strength. Aunt 'Liza has a theory that after the sap begins to rise! the ashes will not do, but I am inclined to think this is one of her many superstitions, as I can see no difference. Tie the ashes loosely in a cloth orbag, as it saves much time in washing .the corn. Put the bag of ashes and the corn in a vessel large enough to allow for swelling and_cover with water. Cook over a moderate fire until the skin separates from the Lernel of the corn. Then wash in many waters until not a trace of the ashes remains. Cook again until tender, changing the water three times. When thoroughly done, it is ready to prepare for the table. It makes an excellent breakfast food served with sugar and cream. But the usual method of serving is to fry it First crush with a potato masher, then fry with a few pieces of fat meat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add enough water to give it a creamy consisteney. Where wood ashes cannot be had, concentrated lye is used, adding about a tablespoonful to a gallon of water before putting in the corn. Aunt ’Liza sald she “never saw any consecrated lye” until about 50 years ago, as they made all their lye for soap from wood ashes in the historic old*hopper. Then when the concentrated lye came into use even for lye hominy, Aunt ’Liza said she ““was ’'bleeged to taste it” to see if the water was strong enough to skin the corn. ~ “Didn’t it burn your mouth, sometimes?” I asked. “Cose it did, honey, but in them days, when I was comin’ on, we didn't say nothin’ if it did!”’ i

TRIMMINGS NOW IN VOGCUE Varieties of Small Embellishments ‘ and Tiny Decorations in . New Gowns. Those who are always oﬁl the lockout for new trimmings should learn to make ‘‘cretes.” To make a crete take a frill of silk and scallop both edges. Now shir it a little way from the edge. until the frill is moderately full, and set it upon the skirt. This will make the edges stand out like narrow ruffles, each side of a full puff, says the Brooklyn Eagle. - " And there are different ways of making cretes. They take silk .and cut it in strips and double it. Both edges are now pinked or frilled, frayed, or scalloped. The frill is now shirred over a narrow cording and the cord is pulled until the frill is just full enough. Itis sewed on the skirt, or the waist upside down, so that the edges will stand.out in the smartest imaginable fashion. - There are such varieties of small trimmings this year. One who does not follow the styles can have no idea of the number and the diversity of tiny decorations that come for gown trimmings. One very pretty style of trimming calls’ for a button mold covered with silk.” A mold about the size of a silver quarter is covered with gray taffeta and over the top of it there are drawn long threads. criss-crossing in . pretty style. - This button mold is now set in the middle of a shirred rosette, the edgs of which are frilled out. This makes a very pretty decoration for the trimming of a gown. Button molds covered with silvered gauze or with tiny bits of cloth of silver make beautiful trimmings for dinner gowns. They can be worn also upon the directoire coats. They are used to give the double breasted effect and two rows of buttons are also at the back of the coat. The same is done with gold buttons and with buttons that are covered with jetted cloth. Nor does ingenuity stop here. One very enterprising dressmaker is taking round glass buttons and covering them with cloth thickly studded with tiny jets. Thus she makes a ball which looks precisely like a jet ball. And she takes the common flat pearl buttons of large size, covers them with silk, and sews them on with blue sewing silk, going up and down through the buttons as though it had not been covered with silk.

WESTERN SALT INDUSTRY. The Producing Areas of TUtah and California Are of Peculiar Interest. . : .Mr. Edwin C. Eckel, of the United States geoleogical survey, spent a few days, during the field season of 1903 in the study of the salt industry near Great Salt lake, Utah, and on San Francisco bay, Cal. A bulletin will ultimately be published by tHe survey on the saline deposits of the United States. In the meantime, Mr.. Eckel has a paper on the salt industry in Utah and California in the survey’s recent bulletin (No. 225) entitled “Contributions to Economic Geoiogy, 1903.” This bulletin has been published for gratuitous distribution. The two salt-producing areas which Mr. Eckel describes are of peculiar interest, for they contain the largest solar“evaporation plants in the United States. While thus agreeing in method of treatment, the practice inthe two districts varies because of difference in the degree of concentration of the brine. The brine pumped from Salt lake, Utah, carries over 20, per. cent. of saline matter and is, thereiore free from calcium sulphate, which has been deposited naturally at an earlier stage in the evaporation of the lake water. The water of San Francisco bay, on the other hand, is rather less sal{ than that of the open sea, and its gypsum must be precipitated at the works. Great Salt lake is but the remnant o* an immensely greater body of water. called Lake Bonneville, which was re duced by evaporation to its present sizc, while at the same time it became a highly concentrated solution. The water of Great Salt lake has varied considerably in its degree of concentration even during the comparatively short period that has elapsed since the settlement oi Utah. If the records can be relied upon. it was at its point of maximum concentration in 1850. From that date until some time in the seventies the lake gradually became fresher, reaching its least recorded concentration in 1873. A reverse process then set in, and the lake has now almost reached the concentration point of 1850. Mr. Eckel describes in detail the harvesting and settling ponds of the Inland Crystal Salt company and the method by which the lake brine is purified ana the salt precipitated. He also describes the equipment cf that company’s refining mill and-the process by which the separation of the sulphides from th~ salt is accomplished. '

The history of salt manufacture from the waters of Great Salt Lalke begins with the arrival of the Mormons in Utah in 1847. The only salt harvested at first was that obtained from the evaporation during summer, of the water contained in little lagoons or natural basins along the shore of thie lake. About the year 1860 dams were built to hold large quantities of water in low places for evaporation. These ponds were flooded in the spring and the salt deposited during the summer by solar evaporation was gathered into piles along the banks and carried over from one year to another. About this time the chlorination process for the reduction of silver ores was discovered. and the dem4and for milling salt increased very rapidly. The output for all purposes reached a total of 50,000 tons in 1890, whereas not over 500 to 1,000 pounds were gathered in 1848. At present Utah ranks sixth among the states as a salt producer, so far as quantity is concerned, and fifth is the value of the product is considered. The production has increased from 96,760 barrels in 1880 to 417.501 barrels.in 1902. The processes of evaporating and milling salt carried on at the best-equipped California piants closely resemble those of Utah, but a few important differences of practice have arisen because of the difference in the strength of the brine.

Presence of Mind. - “Edgar!” There were italics in her voice that sent a thrill of apprehersion through him. : “What is it?” he cried. “A hair is on your coat collar.” .“It can’t be anyone’s but yours.” “Do not think to deceive me. My hair is brown; this is blonde, very blonde.” Edgar was silent for several heartbeats, and then, with a sigh of relief, said: o ‘“Yes, my dearest. *But this is an old coat.

WEDDINGS TOO EXPENSIVE. Costly Accessories Often Unnecessary and May Be Curtailed with Perfect Propriety. Recently a woman who has dwelt many years in the tashionabie world remarked that as the years go on and the expenses—which inciude mocern necessaries—increase, in the same ratio, the requirements of an up-to-aate tashionable life multiply; and these nowadays are totaliy aiilerent trom those ot even 25 years ago. Formerly a bride’s trousseau was ail that she had to think about.; Now, however, she finds that there are other accessories which considerably augment her expenses. . One very costly item is the expensive souvenir of the occasion in the shape of some article of jewelry which she is expected to give to each one of her bridesmaids, and often also (although this is mot obligatory), some costly item of the bridesmaids’ dresses, such as a hat, muff or some other accessory. ) Besides these she, too, must in these [latter days give a farewell dinner to her attendants and especial friends, which is generally a “hen” function, although some prefer to enliven fhe entertainment by the introduction of the masculine element. . ' ~All "of which, taken together, forms no inconsiderable portion of the general outlay, the aggregate sum of which amounts in some cases to a small fortune. ) “There is only one decent way to get out of all this,” said a bride-elect recently, “and that is to have no bridesmaids atall. If youhavethem you are expected to do all these f@mings, and my people find that my trousseau and wedding breakfast are quite sufficient to please the family, without all the rest of it, so I am going to cut all that out.”

Idarn to Keep Your Temper. One of the most difficult things to do, sometimes, is to .keep one’s temper. A calm gerenity of temper and a selfcontrol which keeps'a person unruffied amid the petty annoyances and ilis of -every-day life indicate the possession of perfect mental health. Nowadays people are very fond of saying so-and-so was ‘‘just mad,” meaning very angry; but it would be well if temper were more -often seriously regarded as madness. It may be preventable madness, but madness it is while it lasts, and there is seldom anyone who is made more un‘happy by it than the person who gives way to it. In our treatment of the illtempered the cultivation of the art of not hearing will be very helpful. It is a useful art all through life—N. Y. Weekly. e — | Bath That Is Refreshing. The directoire bath is the very latest thing. Itisabath made of sweet-scented water in which there is enough acid to be invigorating. It is a bath of a previous generation and it is one which every athlete of the present day should try. To make a atrectoire bath take a tub of hot water and pour into it a quart of bath vinegar, if one can afford it. If one cannot. indulge in this extravagance, then take a pint. Ifthis is too much, at least pour in a few tablespoonfuls. A bath in bath vinegar is good for the muscles. It drives gway rheumatism, it cures neuralgia, it’is just the tHing for a stiff neck and it takes the ache out of tired bones. . . A Difference. She—He has five marriageable daughters, has he not?
