About five ordinary sized applee are re- quired for a pie. Prepare these the last thing before making the pie, by paring, quartering and. coring, and, if large, cutting each number in two again. Put the sugar and whatever spice you prefer -a little nut- meg or cinnamon being most commonly liked -upon the under crust before filling with the apple. This way of sweetening any fruit pie does away entirely with the Suiee running out. Fleet lay &row of apples regularly around the edge, then fill in the center. Practice will soon enable one to do this evenly and so melte re nice looking pie. Cut a piece of butter the size of a walnut in email bits, and matter evenly over the sur face. If it is toward sprint; and the fruit is inspid, add a little sour jelly also. After rolling out your upper crust, add a little water to your apples -how much depends on the variety -and wet the outer edge of the bottom crust where that and the upper , one join, Be careful not to draw your orust tightly over the top of your pie, as this detracts from its appearance. With a smell sieve, distribute evenly over the top .one large tablespoonful of pulverized sugar .and bake.

TES LEANING TOWER IN SPAIN. is Fear( ta stoat, being Dangerous, 11 Wit bave 1.11 1301110 (101V11, A committee appointed to report on the famous Torre Nueva in the Plitea San Filipe in the capital of Aragon, has issued a possi. wrestle amount. It is feared that this clock tower -a very fine example of the kind -will have to be pulled down. Excessive rains and floods have caused a subsidence of soil and the structure is deemed unsafe. The construction of this leanieg tower was begun in the fifteenth century, under the direction of two Spanish, one jewish anti two Moorish acalliteets, It is octagonal in form, 300feet high, 45 in diemeter, and leans about 10 feet ont of the perpendicular. Stone steps, 200 in number, lead 'inside to the top gallery; whence a magnificent and beautiful view le obtained over the city itself, the fer• tile plains of Amgen, watered by the rapid. flotving Ebro, and away to the north where the Pyrenees are seen. The edifiee, built of bricks, has at a dis- tance a Moorish aspect, the face of the strut> ture being diapered with brickwork, but the design and execution ore much coarser than are generally seen in purely Moorish buildings ; the various wMdows, galleries, bettletnents and turrets, together with de. signs partly Byzantine, partly Arabesciee, demonstrates its miged architeeture. It has been stated that the leening of the tower was clue to the caprice of the archi- tents, but an. old crack in its side and a care. while to be careful on making almost any tul examination of the fouudetton led to the kind except an apple pie -this they think conclusion thet it was want of cere on the can be throvru together, while, feet, no part of the bnitders, The Aragonese speak pie better repays careful making.
