METHODS BY WHICH THEY HANDLE THF.IR IMMENSE PRODUCT. Ten to Fiftren.Thoasand Pie Made nnd Baked In a Xtfcit-The Cruitu, tle KlUlner ud the Krtmtlnic Absolute Cleanliness In tlie SUoys. A visit to one of the largest pie codttructing plants in a city would make the arerao housewife who prides herself In her baking green with envy. The maker of old fashioned domestic pies cannot easily conceive of a system by which a barrel of apples and a barrel of flour can, figuratively speaking, Btart at one end of a long bench and leave the other end a thousand or less finished pies, but this system is in use In ull the large pie bakeries. The baking force goes on duty at 10 o'clock at night. During the day girls have been paring and slicing apples end pumpkins, and the foreman has been spicing and sweetening the cooked fruit or mince, the custards and other prepared filling which have also been cooked by steam in large stone etew vats. When 'the bakers go on duty the filling is in place in front of the great dough board in tubs holding a half barrel each, and the stewed apples in full sized barrels. At one end of the bench is a great stack of flour, near which staads a pail of water into whi:h a saucer of baking powder has been dumped. The dough mixer attacks this heap ,and makes in it a deep depression, into which ' the water is poured. The embankment of flour is rapidly turned into the water and 6tirred with the hands until a thick, pasty dough has been formed. This is shoved along until a tall heai is formed at the miser's right, and the knead er, a spry young fellow, working with an instrument resembling a plasterer's trowel, cuts off large masses and rolls them until the mixing is completed and then chops them into chunks of suitable sizes for forming bottom crusts. The men beyond roll the bottom crust and place tl.n.i in ihe pans, which are arranged in large wooden trays, heap ed one upon another in slacks as tall as a man. The stacks of trays are then hauled to the filler by means of a hook inserted in a ring in the truck at the bottom. The pies, whether 10,000 or 15,000 8 night are baked, are all filled by out man. With a long handled cup similar to that used in dipping milk from a ran he stands over a tub of stewed pumpkin, mince or custard and fills pies so rapidly that all of one man' time is required to bring the trays to his side and that of another to take them away. He works like an automaton, a filled pie resulting from every 5rop and rise of his two hands. Nearly a hundred pies a minute look like an impossibility, but he sends them to the men who put on the top crusts and the meringues at that rate for many min ntes at a si retch. He lias, by actua' test, put half a barrel of mince meat Into pies within ten minutes. The filled pies go into the big wooden trays to the men who cover them wito the top crust or who put the meringue on with a conical shaped canvas bag open at the smaller end, out of whico they squeeze the frosting on the fane? pies. The fancy pies and the plaiD ones do not come together again until they meet in the delivery wagon about 5 o'clock in the morning. The top crust pies go to the drawplate ovens and the pumpkins, custards, meringues and tarts to the older fashioned ovens, where they are handled with long, slender shovels. Out of the larger drawplate oven is pulled with a steel hook a plate of iron half an inch,-thick or more already heated. The thermometer in front of the oven shows a temperature of "0 degrees. As many pies as will lie on this plateabout 100 at a time are placed on it and it is pushed into tlie oven. The hands of a dummy clock ft the side are set to indicate the moment at which the baking will be finished. Another plate is then drawn out and filled, and the proceeding is repeated until the night's work is finished. The pies, nfier baking, go into wooden trays, as before, ahd are taken to the shipping room, where they are counted and loaded into the Wagons for delivery. About forty girls, boys and men by this pystem produce from 10.000 to 15,000 pies a day. They use about fifteen barrels of flour, sis to ten barrels of apples, nine or ten half barrels of mince meat, nearly as much stewed pumpkin and perhaps half as much each of other fruits and custards, a barrel or more of lard, about two barrels of sugar and large quantities of spices. Contrary to all popular notions on the subject, the wholesale manufacture of pies in a modern establishment is thoroughly cleanly. Workmen are not allowed to enter the work rooms in their street attire or to change their clothing there.' The use of tobacco at all stages of the work is prohibited. Spitting on the floor or on or into anything else in the work rooms is expressly and emphatically forbidden. The walls are white, and the floors of concrete are dustless. Every scrap of anything that can sour is daily washed from the vessels used for filling, froir the cooking vats, from the trays and from the benches, and they are all ster Uized with steam or boiling water. The shortening, sweetening and spiesIng are carefully and accurately weighed in exact proportions. The baking Is timed to a constant temperature, so that there is absolute uniformity, and all the mixing and flavoring, while done on a large scale, are so conducted ,18, to insure a uniform quality, 3Se Tork Tri.hu ne

v' AS KING 'QtJESTlONSir-ir'V ' .... w i ij ryj-J;: .. ' .. The Art off Interrogation Should Fl Devoid off Impertinence..., "Do not ask questions" is the worst piece of social a.dviee which age can give to youth. A man who never asks questions is the dullest fellow in the srorld. lie had better ask too many than too few. We can defend ourselves against curiosity; but no armor avails against Indifference. We must resign ourselves to be bored to death. What Is the secret of the art of interrogation? Tutting aside quick sympathies, which He at the root of every social art, we believe the most essential quality for those who would excel in it is directness. The art of asking questions so as to learn, instruct, please and influence is not the art of beating about the bush. The questions which offend and silence are the questions which suggest some ulterior motive. It Is a found out scheme which makes men angry. Anything of the nature of a trap keeps us on our guard. If we once fall into one we resolve It shall be the last time. Suspicion kills confidence. Interrogative hints are utterly useless. The average man does not dislike to be questioned. He hates to be startled, crossed, Interfered with, reproached, wearied or betrayed. He hates the questions which are not asked with a simple intention. There are questions which are asked not because the asker wants to know, but because he Intends to tell. Others, while ostensibly directed to find out a man's opinion, are really intended to reflect upon his character. Some men Inquire as to their neighbors' projects In order to put difficulties in their way. Strings of meaningless questions are poured out by those who desire to pretend an interest in some subject which they neither know nor care anything about. We "believe the conclusion of the mat ter to be this: Tlie art of interrogation is a serious branch of the social art Well asked questions are of the essence of agreeable intercourse, but tlie interrogative mood will not justify an impertinence, an interference, a verbal assault nor, for the matter of that, a bore. London Spectator.

ODD NOTIONS OF WOMEN. Rosa Bonheur treasured a small lead image of St. Anthony of Padua as a lucky charm. Caroline Herschel firmly believed that if she met a cross eyed beggar in the morning it presaged the discovery of a new star that night. George Eliot was a slave to the influence of the hunchback and clubfooted man and did no literary work upon the day when she saw one. Lady Millais, the wife of the great painter, was convinced that the crack of doom would sound for any one who stepped on a crack in the sidewalk. Harriet Beecher Stowe belived that it was bad luck to throw away & toothbrush which had outlived its usefulness and, to the anguish of her household, preserved every one that she had ever used. Queen Victoria cherished a number of superstitions, and, among them, she believed that the removal of her wedding ring would surely bring calamity and that a pet Manx cat would bring good luck to the royal household. Everywhere. Didn't Care to Be Presented. The wife of a well known naval officer te"s an amusing story f some of her experiences in Washington socitty. On one occasion when she was asked to receive at an army and navy german a congressman entered with a lady leaning upon each arm. One of tlie floo committee at once approached him, with the polite request that he give his name in order that he might be presented to Mrs. Blank, who received the guests of the evening. "No, ihank you," was the nonchalant reply. "I don't care to be introduced. I have two ladies now to take care of, and that is about as much as I can manage." Grace In Old Forests. Some trees are more graceful than others. The elm and oak are noted for their perfect and graceful form. All their branches appear to be perpetually moving," stirred by every wind that blows, and ihe same may be said of the pine. The graceful movements of Its limbs, the sighing sounds 'of its stems and evergreen needles, tend forth a solemn symphony. Everything contributes serene grace and simplicity to old forests. Behind Her Back. "She's very studious," said one woman. "Yes," answered the other. "And doesn't seem to care for gossiping in the least." "Oh, I don't know about that," answered the other with a smile; "she merely prefers to talk about Helen of Troy and Romeo and Juliet to paying attention to what is going on In her own neighborhood."

: SURftlCAL'FEAT. ' Child Saved From Paralysis by an Unheard of Operation. (Philadelphia Press.) A surgical triumph probably as great as that of Dr. Lorenz, when his first operation of bloodless surgery astonished the medical world, has been accomplished by Dr. James K. Young of this city. It is the successful splicing of two nerves, a dead and a live one, in the leg of a child, thus curing infantile palsy. Although the operation has been performed but once its unqualified success has stamped it as more than accidental. Mamie Weiss, the four-year-old daughter of Mrs. Rosie Weiss, of 333 Christian street, is the happy subject of the experiment. About a year ago, Dr. Young, who is a lecturer on orthopaedic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and professor at the Polyclinic Hospital and the Woman's Medieal College, became interested in nerve splicing. With Dr. William G. Spiller, the nerve specialist, he discussed the possibility of curing infantile paralysis by joining' a dead nerve with a live one, thus re-establishing the lost cm-rent of power from the nerve center. Kothwithstandig the fact that the nerves are the most delicate organs of the body, th e two surgeons decided after weeks of deliberation and experiments on bodies that the thing was well within reason. About this time Mamie Weiss was sent to the Polyclinic Hospital. One of her legs was partially paralyzed She could turn the foot from right to left, but not from left to right. Here, thought Dr. Young, was a chance to, demonstrate the feasibility of his theory. The child was placed under the influence of an anaesthetic, and with the most delicate scalpel obtainable a three-inch incision was made in the side of the palsied leg just below the knee. Carefully the .surgeon cut into the flesh until he reached the dead nerve. Clipping this off at its upper end, near the kneecap, a hole was cut through the anterior tibial nerve and the detached nerve put through the hole and stitched in place Ten minutes after the first incision was made the operation was over. Only a few drops of blood had been shed, and the patient had seemingly suffered but slight shock while the delicate nerves were being spliced. Then began the anxious wait to ascertain if the operation was successful. For several weeks the little girl Avore a plaster cast. Finally it was discarded. A few more weeks and all was ready for the first test. She was told to move her foot from left to right. Slowly the member obeyed the impulse of its owner, and Dr. Young heaved a happy sigh. His idea was a theory no longer, but a grand reality, which meant glory to tlie skilled surgeon and another great stride in the science of surgery. Since then Mamie has continued to gather strength, and now she has almost forgotten which leg promised to make her a cripple a year ago. Dr. Young will make a report of his nerve-splicing success to the Am or ican Orthopaedic Society when it meets in June at Atlantic City. Then the medical profession will be officially notified of one of the greatest surgical triumphs of the ose.

A RAILROAD ROUTE. From New York to Buenos Ayres Will Cost $150,000,000. (New York Sun.) Mr. Charles M. Pepper, who has just spent"' a year in the Latin-American countries studying the prospects of the Inter-continental Railroad," has reported the results of his investiga tions to the Secretary of State. He was appointed Commissioner for this purpose by President Roosevelt. The all-rail route from this city to Buenos Ayres Avill be 10,288 miles long by the route which the surveyors selected. Five years ago the existing lines that might be used as a part of the trunk railroad were about 4,772 miles in length, leaving 5,45G miles to be constructed. Since that time the countries south of us have built 656 miles of track along the international route, reducing the portion yet to be constructed to 4,800 miles. Only about an eighth b the mileage has been built in the pist five years, but this has been done in the natural course of railroad building, Without any reference to the intercontinental project, and, as Mr. Pepper shows, the prospects are favorable for a more rapid extension of railroads along the Pan-American'' route. ' Last fall the road from Guayaquil, Ecuador, reached the Quito plateau, 10,000 feet above the sea, and is now pushing: nortk - to Quito. It is ex

pected -to reaclcthatjdtyf this season, when another J link; in; the iuterconti nental ehain, 160 Tnilesjlong, will he completed. Mexico is pushing . the work on her line from Oaxaca to Guatemala, the road which Argentina is building from Jujuy to Bolivar is well under way, and in President Pando's recent message to the Bolivian congress he indicated links An the Intercontinental Railroad between Tupiza and Uyuni and between Oruro and La Paz as roads whose building should first be authorized. All 'these lines will be parts of the great system, and the next two or three years are likely to see several hundred miles of road added to the completed portion. The all-rail route from this city to Buenos Ayres may be some time coming, but it is certain to be realized before the world is very much older. Mr. Pepper says the cost of construction is now estimated at $150,000,000 a reduction of $24,000,000 from the report of the commission five years ago. Randall. The remains of Mattie E. Randall will arrive this evening from Indianapolis, and will be taken to. the home of Frank C. Roberts, 242 southwest third street. The funeral will take place from the home tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Friends may call at any time after 8 o'clock this evening. Interment at Earlham cemetery.
