COOKING A HAM.-The late Gen. Win

matters; and he contended that a ham
ought to be boiled until it was soft enough

claim that ham ought to be one year old

be soaked all night in fresh water, boiled
with the skin on, twenty minutes fer every
pound it may weigh.

Fun IN THE FAMILY.-What health
full thing to have one jolly person in the
house, ready to laugh at anything ludic-
rous, or even able to create sport at any
time. There are enough to reflect on the
sad side Of life, and its irritable side and
its sober side. We need one or more to
show the mirth that often trembles just
below the surface of painful things. A
real, impetuous laugh dissipates many H.
lusions, sweeps the twilight out of our
imaginations, and brings honest daylight.
But it must be real. No dry, hacking
laugh. 1t should be spontaneous, out
bursting, irresistible; infectious. We have
seen men fall to laughing, who had not
heard the cause of mirth, but only had
caught the contagion Of other mems
laughing. 1t is hard not to laugh with
men who are in earnest about it.

butter will then be in what We may cali an ai-
tight chamber. Let tie whole OF the outside

placed in as cool place as possible. If this
be done over night the butter will be found
firm as rock at breakfast tme or, placed
there in the morning. will be quite hard for
use at tea time. The reason o. this is that
when water evaporates it produces cold. The
porous pot draws up the water, which, in
warm weather, quickly evaporates from the
sides, and thus cools 1t. And as no warm air
can now get at the butter it becomes firm and
cool in the hottest day.
