PICKED PoRK.-As soon as the hogs
are dressed and cool enough to cut
up, rub the side pieces well with salt
and pack in barrel with plenty of
salt on all sides of each piece of meat,
and when the cask is full, place on
the top fat stone, Us large as the
vessel will receive, so as to keep the
meat always under the pickle. This
done, fill up the cask with strong
brine that has been previously boiled
and allowed to get cold. In about
four weeks take up the meat, again
rub well with salt; pour out the pic
kle, boil and skim SO long.as the skum
rises, or until the pickle is clear. If
not clear it is well to pass it through
a cloth. Rinse out the cask, pack
the meat well into it with more salt,
and when the pickle is perfectly cold
pour it over the meat. Care must be
taken to keep the meat under the
pickle, otherwise it will rust. Be
sure and put in plenty of salt; the
meat will take no more than enough
to keep it sweet. The next hummer
take out tie meat and again boil the
pickle, and proceed as above direct

A LITTLE GIRL BURIED ALIVE

A LITTLE GIRL BURIED ALIVE
About four weeks ago a little German
girl in Brooklyn, Ohio took sick with
the lock jaw, and in a few days she
was thought dead and was buried. On
the evening of her burial, the mother
for some reason, was led to the grave,
and, with her ear pressed close to the
ground, thought she heard noise and
believed her child to be moving in its
coffin. She withheld from asking ass
is.ance for fear of being ridiculed, and
Immediately procured spade and be-
gan to dig up the earth. Soon she
came to the coffin, and hurrie dly TAX
ing it from the earth, opened it aud
there found the body of her child, nine
hours after its burial, as warm as if ii
were living, and lying on its side
She took the child to her house, where
a physician was Immediately called in
and every restorative applied to bring
the child to life. 1t was too late. The
soul had taken its fight, and in few
hours more the body was cold and icy

While the majority of the ancient
churches of the East which from the
fifth to the, twelfth century dissolved
the communion with Rome, still re-
main in this separation, the efforts of
Rome have succeeded in gaining over
a small portion of each of them.
Those who enter the communion Of
Rome of course accept the distinctive
doctrines Of the Roman Catholic Church
but they are allowed to retain many
peculiar usages, such as the language
Of their ancient liturgies and the mar
riege of priests. The Churches thus
united with Rome are the United
Melchite Greeks, the United Ronman-
ian Greeks, the United Rnthenian
Greeks, the United Bulgarian Greeks,
the Uuited Armenians, the Maronites
TALL of whom have FIR centuries united
