We find the following in an ex-
change, without credit:
Some years ago, when the writer
was a reporter upon an Eastern ma.
per, it devolyed upon him to write
for the same edition an account ofI
the presentation of a golden headed
cane to Rev. DR.. Hodge, the clergy
man of the place, and a descripti0n
of patent hog killing and sansaoe.
machine which had just been put in
operation at the factory. Now.wbat
made Rev. DR.. Hodge mad was this.
The inconsiderate buccaneen who
made up the forms of the paper cot
the two locals mixed up in a fright
tul manner, and when we went to
press something like this was the
appalling result:
Several of the Rev. DR.. HODGES
friends called upon him, Yesterday,
and after brief conversation the
unsuspicious hog was seized by the
hind legs and slid along a beam un-
til he reached the hot water tank.
His friends explained the object of
their visit, and presented him with
very hadsome gold-headed butch
er, who grabbed him by the tail.
swung him around, and in less than
minute the carcass was in the wa
ter. ThereupOn he came forward
and said that there were times when
the feelings overpowered one. and
for that reason he would not attemnt
to do more than thank those around
him for the manner in which a huge
animal was cut into fragments was
simply astonishing. The doctor con
cluded his remarks when the ma
chine seized him, and in less time
than it takes to write it the hog was
cut into fragments and worked up
into delicious sausage. The occa-
sion will long be remembered by the
doctors friends as one of the most
delightful of their lives. The best
pieces can be procured for fifteen
cents pound, and we are sure that
those who have sat so long under
his ministry will rejoice that he has
been treated so handsomely.
Mad? Well, about nine o'clock
that morning the office had been
abandoned by every man but the ad-
Yertising clerk, and he assembled to
the roof and robed himself in boiler
iron, so that he could watch that ven
cradle clergyman tearing around
down there in the street with his
congregation, all wearing the pano-
ply of war and carrying butcher
knives and things. Next day we
apologized, but the docter stopped
his subscription, and began to take
the rival paper.

Filters and Filtering.

Water, wine, spirits, jelly, syrup,
tinctures, and a great variety of 9th
er fluids, hot and cold, often contain
substances which should be sepa-
rated in order to render the fluid
clear and bright. AS regards wa
ter, filtering it has become pretty
general; but in domestic life there
are fluids, such as wine, liquid jelly,
syrup, ETC., which are required to be
made "clear" before they are put on
the table. There are three kinds of
filters-sponge, for watery liquids;
cotton for spurious fluids, and wool,
for gelatinOus fluids and oils. In
every well appointed kitchen, there
are tin or porcelain tunnels. For
filtering watery fluids it is only nee
essary to insert in the choke of the
funnel, a Vshaped piece of fine
sponge. All such liquids, on being
put into the funnel, will pass through
the sponge and become quite clear.
When this effect ceases the sponge
must be removed and well cleansed.
Vinous fluids are best cleared by
fltering through a cone of white
blotting paper, shaped by folding
square piece of the paper from cor
ner to corner, then folding the trian-
gle into half its size, and opening
the folds; it will fit any funnel,
which will act as a support to the
paper. Wines, ETC., poured into this,
will run through it perfectly bright.
In some cases, where the wine is
only little thick from lees, cork,
or other mechanically suspended
it can be made quite
clear by filtering through a wad of
white cotton put in the choke
OF the funnel; and when this an
swers, It is much quicker than the
paper filter. For jelly and oil, wool
alone is the proper medium for filter
ing. The felted wool Jelly bag is
pretty well known as the best means
for clearing calves foot Jelly, and it
also answers for olive and other oil.
These bags are, however, too ex-
pensive to be generally used; hence
they are rarely seen in Kitchens. A
good substitute for the wool bag is
a colander, on the inside of which a
new flannel lining should be fitted,
made of double stuff. A wad of
white knitting wool, put in the choke
of tbe funnel, will do to filter any
small portion Of such fluids. Many
good glass of port wine has been
wasted for the want of a penny paper

Bee Chronology.

From the deposit of the egg by
the queen till the worker is hatched
is twenty-one days. From the
Matching of the worker till the com
mencement of outside labor is
about sixteen days; or, in other
words, the worker, under ordinary
circumstances, is this old when it
commences to gather forage, outside
the hive. Hence, at thirty-seven
days before the honey harvest COM
mences, the eggs should be deposit
ted, in order to have the workers on
hand, ready to gather harvest. The
breeding apartment should be filed
completely with eggs and droop
thirty seven days before the com
mencement of the harvest. This
varies in different localities, and
each individual should know for
himself when his yield of honey be-
gins.

To Cure Hams.

An Ohio woman recommends the
following method: "TO every one
hundred pounds Of pork, take eight
pounds ground Ashton Salt, two
ounces saltpetre, two pounds brown
sugar, one and a half ounces of pot
ash, and four gallons of water. Mix
the above and pour the brine over
the meat, after it has lain in the tub
some two days. Let the hams re-
main six weeks In brine, and then
dried several days before smoking.
1 have generally had the meat rub
bed with fine salt when it was packed
down. The meat should be perfect
ly cool before packing"

Curiositiea of nremnru

john hemble use to say that he
could learn a whole number of the
Morning Post in four days; and
General Christie made a similar as
sertion, but it it is not known how
far either of them verified this state
ment. Robert Dillon could repeat
in the morning six columns of q
newspaper he had read over night.
During the Repeal debates in the
House of Commons, thirty-seven
years ago, one of the members wrote
out his speech, sent it to the news
papers, and repeated it to the House
in the evening, it was found to be
the same verbatim as that which he
had written out. John Fuller. q land
agent IN Norfolk, could remember
every word of sermon, and write if
out correctly after going home; this
was tested by comparing his written
account with the clergyman's man
uscript. Scaliger could repeat q
hundred verses or more after having
read them a single time. Seneca
could repeat two thousand words on
hearing them once. Magliabecchi.
who had prodigious memory was
once putto a severe test. A gentleman
lent him a manuscript, which was
read and returned. The ownersome
time afterwards, pretending he had
lost it, begged Magliabecc6i to write
out as much as he could remember:
whereupon the latter, appealing to
his memory, wrote out the whole es-
say. Cyrus, if some of the old his
torians are to be credited, could re-
member the name of every soldier in
his immense army. There was a
Corsican boy who could rehearse
forty thousand words, whether sense
OF nonsense, as they were dictated
and then repeat them in the reversed
order, without making a single mis-
take. A physician of Massachu-
sets, about half a century acc. could
repeat the whole of Paradise Lost"
without mistake, although he had not
read it for twenty years. Euler, the
great mathematician, when he be-
came blind, could repeat the whole
of VirgiPs "Kneid," and could re-
member the first line and the last
line on every page of the particular
edition which he had been accus-
toned to read before he became
blind.
One kind of retentive memory
may be considered IS the result Of
sheer hard work, a determination to-
ward one particular achievement,
without reference either to cultiva
tion or to memory on the other sub
jects. This is frequently shown bv
persons in humble life in regard to
the Bible. An old beggarman at
known some forty years ago
as Blind Aleck, afforded an instance
Of this. He knew the whole of the
Bible by heart; insomuch that, if a
sentence were read to him, he could
name book, chapter, or verse; or if
the book, chapter and verse were
named he could give theexact words.
A gentleman, to test him, repeated
a verse, purposely making one YER
bal inaccuracy; Aleck hesitated,
named the place where the passage
is to be found, bat at the same time
pointed out the verbal error. The
same gentleman asked him to repeat
the ninetieth verse of the seventh
chapter of the book of Numbers.
He almost instnatly replied, "There
IS no such verse; that chapter has
only eighty-nine verses"

sLAYING THE ROOSTER.

Listen, my boy, and you shall know
A thing that happened long time ago,
When was boy not as large as you,
And the youngest of all the children, too.
laugh even now as think Of it Ger,
And the moro think, laugh the more.
Twas the chilly eve of an autumn day,
We were all In the kitchen, CHEEKY and CAV; 5,
The fire burned bright on the old brick hearth,
And its cheerful light gave zest to its mirth.
My eldest sister, addressing me,
"To-mOrow's Thanksgiving, you know said
she,
"We must kill the chickens to night, you see;
Now light the lantern and come with me;
will wiring their necks until they are dead,
And have them all dressed ere we go to bed. y
So the huge old lantern, made of tin,
Punched full of holes and candle within,
Put in its appearance in shorter time
Than it takes to make this jingling rhyme.
We started off, and the way led,
For raid on the chickens under the shed.
A pile Of roots filed the open space,
Thus making splendid roosting place;
And motley tribe of domestic fowls
Sat perched there, as grave and demure as
owls.
Ny sister, unused to sights of blood.
And pale with excitement, trembling stood:
But, summoning courage, she laid her plans,
And seized the old rooster with both her hands.
And with triumph written all over her face,
Her victim bore to the open space.
Then she wrung and wrung with might and
main,
And wrung, and twisted, and wrung again;
Till sure that the spark of life had fed,
She threw him down on the ground for dead.
But the rooster would not consent to die
And be made up into chicken pie.
So he sprang away from the candles light.
Escaped the slaughter of that dark night
Ny sister, thus brought to a sudden stand.
And looking at what she held in her hand
Soon saw why the rooster was not dead
She had rung off his tail instead of his head.

A Chicago incident.

Among the hard cases developed
by the fire, is the following: An
aged gentleman-too old to begin
life again-yesterday called on a
member of the legal fraternity for
advice. The savings of a lifetime,
of nearly three score years of unit
ring effort had been invested in Uni
ted States bonds, amounting to be-
tween $4,000 and 100000. His
wife had always taken care of the
precious documents. To provide
against accident she had been in the
habit of keeping them in a large
stone jar, sunk below the cellar floor
and covered with sand. About a
year and a half ago his wife died
leaving him alone. Subsequent to
her death the old gentleman, as a
more business-like manner of doing
things took up the jar and had the
bonds tranferred to a safe, A day
or two since the safe was taken from
the debris,a all that was left of the
100000 or thereabouts, was some
blackened ashes. The bonds were
not registered, nor could the old
gentleman remember the number of
a single bond, nor could he tell of
whom or of what bank they were
purchased. All that he could re-
member was that he had made am
pie provision for his old age by q life
of industry, and now he was thrown
upon the world alone and not enough
of the worlds goods left to buy him
self a breakfast. The case was
sad one, but only one of thousands
of the same kind.--Chicago Mail.
