SaU The mention of the name of Berwick, iu connection with its recent robberies, recalls to many, the days when its sponge cakes and custard pies carried the fame of North Berwick as far as civilisation "went: Tbe history of the industry is a curious one. About 1S45 an employe 01! the Boston Maiue railroad named William C.

This was agreed. to, and the restaurant was staried. Mrs. Briggs was one cook in a thousand.

and her meals were already well known to the patrous of the road, when she set her brain at work and iu- vented a now kind of sponge cake. was famous before: she was immortal now. That sponge cake was lighter and sweeter and more delicate than any other known in history. it sold. Kvery oue passing through Berwick bought whether he wanted it or not.

It came in enormous loaves inclosed in wooden boxes, and the wealthy bought those. For slimmer purses porlions were sold of. graduated sixes down to the single mouthful wrapped in tissue paper for 10 ceuts. Itpst-jiunnits in distant cities served it, and regular sliipmenls were made to New York and Boston. Others tried 1o imitate it, but failed.

The secret of its making was kept religiously. Every batch' tha wont into the was mixed, by -Mrs, Briggs' ovm hands aud behind doors. Even now nothing is known of the process, beyond tho fact that a. churn was usod for beating the 1 innumerable eggs which went into ils composition. Of course the restaurant prospered.

It was bcfoiv the days of dining-cars. aiirt passengers from Eastport and Porthind had good appetites when they reached North Berwick. Besides the sponge cuke, the almost equally famous custard pie was sold, and a general dairy lunch sewed: Briggs managed tho rostnurnnt for twenty years, finally grew rich, and gave up the ImninWs. moved to Ncwburyporr, lost liis money by speculation and in otlicr ways, and died.

His natural color was steel gray, nnd the fur at tho roots showed it unmistakably. Tlio lady was an actress, who was passing throush on her way 10 New York aud when she called for her pet I incidentally referred to the dyeing. She admitted at once that she had colored the fur to match a favorite costume, adding that she had been assured by a doctor that the process was entirely harmless.
