Dressed Hogs.

At meeting of the Delaware (Ohio)
Farmers Club, the subject of slaughter
ing and dressing hogs was discussed, as
well as the curing of pork. 1t was recon-
mended that the. hog should be laid on
the back that the party butchering should
stand over the hog, left hand on nose,
edge of the knife toward the hog; cut
both arteries, three inches sufficient, five
better, the main thing being to bleed we'll
Scald as soon as killed-two hogs to one
kettle of water; blood is good test for
the water; if too hot it curdles the blood
water should be soft; if hard throw in
some ashes; some prefer pine tar or resin.
Throw bucket of cold water over the
hog as soon as scalded-it closes the pores
and whitens the skin. When hung up,
wash, scrape upwards, wash again, and
wipe with cloth should be thoroughly
washed, scraped and wiped heart or liver
should never be cut in the hog; take en-
trails out to jugular vein, then take the
vein, heart and liver out
The pork should be slightly sailed for
two or three days, skin down, and then
turned and covered with salt put in brine
for thirty days for medium sized ham
brine should be preserved, old brine the
best, but should be boiled and SKINNED
before used salt should be well rubbed in
coarse salt the best not safe to use salt in
the bottom of the barrel after having stood
for same time; eight pounds salt, five
pounds sugar, and one-fourth pound salt
peter to- 100 pounds meat is the best recipe

Chasing a Hat.

THE most absurd sight in the world,
next to a man with a bandbox trying to
engineer an umbrella down . crowded
street in windy day, is the spectacle a
man presents in chasing his hat in similar
weather. The fun is enhanced if it hap
pens to be raining little You see a
portly individual bearing down the street,
serenely unconscious of such trifles as
head winds and cross seas from overflow
ing cutters. Suddenly his shiny black top
gear Tits back, he clasps one hand on his
head, then reaches up frantically with both,
breaches to, comes before the wind and
bears away in chase. Just before him the
tantalizing thing skips along as if bent on
enjoying its newly acquired liberty. He
pauses as it whirls under the imminent
wheel of passing omnibus, lurches after
1t again with new energy, makes desperate
grabs which bring up handfuls of mud,
and seems on the point of success, when
up it goes, clears q lamp post and comes
down in a puddle. At last then. He
moves on it cautiously and tries to flank it.
Pretends not to see it, and makes a dig
sideways at it. Not much. Up the street
again like mad, and now, losing all pa
thence, he goes for it vigorously, and by
getting his foot on it, and MASKING it out
of all shape, finally picks up the wrecked
and dirty thing, clasps it VIGOROUSLY on
his head, and sails away with an air OF
triumph. MARK TWAIN.

A Lesson in Gardening.

Ina certain village, there is a young
lawyer who took lessons and degrees on
the old home farm till he became satisfied
there was an easier way to get the daily
bread of his life, and then went to col.
lege "Old Waterville" gave no lessons
in field culture, and our young squire has
always exhibited his approval OF her len
ity by the general aspect of his garden

got the better of the wheat. One morn
ing this summer, little earlier than he
usually put on his slippers, there was a
ring at the door, and Bridget ran to answer

into pants and dressing gown, in expecta-

"What is it, Biddy?"
"Ah, he didn't tell me bit p'-and
Biddy grinned wider still.
"But what did he wants"
al don't b'lave he wanted nothin' at all,
sir and Biddy snickered in full Irish.

that led the pious Biddy to fear wicked
word or two would follow, and she hurried

difficulty in attempting to shape an oil

ordinary way is to grind off the highest

which yeu are rubbing; better still if you
can find the true surface of a casting be-

quite fast. But recently, while trying to
shape small slip, it occurred to me to try
some glass paper, and to my surprise I

truing an ordinary oil-stone for sharpen
ing planes, take sheet of glass paper,
No. 2, and lay it on the bench, and rub
your stone on it; in this way you can true
the stone in one-quarter the time it would

Right Honorable Henry Wright boldly to
write himself upright in the presence OF
the right-handed wheelwright, Robert
Wright?"
I'm the town of s., in Maine, lived
some years ago couple who had got
tired of the jars and troubles of welded
life, and mutually resolved to end them.
But being rather short of this worlds
goods, they hardly felt like paying out the
money necessary to obtain divorce. So
they went to the old gentleman hojoined
them in the bonds Of matrimony several
years before, and desired him to unite the
knot The worthy old Squire scratched
his head, thought moment, and told them
that there was no way but to go to court
"But hold" says he, al have it. You
promised to live together and be true to
each other until death should you part.
Come out into the yard" Then Selling a
cat that sat in the doorway, he directed
John to take her by the tail and Jane by
the head. Then lifting sharp ak, he
said, "Now death doth you part" The
ak fell, and the couple were divorced.
The lucid intervals of the Empress
Carlotta are becorlIng rarer and rarer, and
she tries to deceive her attendants with
the most consummate cunning. A short
time ago she tried to mount the horse OF
an orderly who had brought dispatches
from Brussels, and Col. Van der Velde
had to- prevent her by main force. All
horseback exercise is forbidden to her for
fear she might flee. This restraint worries
her terribly, and it sometimes drives her
frantic. In her calmer moments she uses
the telegraph office in the Castle OF Ter
vueren in order to complain to the differ
ent sovereigns of Europe about her i'm
prisonMent. These dispatches are sent
but only to Brussels The Empress waits
personally for an answer, and spends, in
this manner, whole days in the telegraph
Office. Still afraid of poison, she never
eats at the general table, but eats at a
small table in her bed room, and the officer
on duty must cat his dinner standing, as
he does not find room at the small table.
Her nights are restless, and often she does
not get wink of sleep till morning.
