Bow TO FREsHEN SALT FIsH-Most
persons who are in the habit of freshen
ing Tnakerel or other salt fish, never dream
that there is a right way and a wrong
way to do it. Any person who has seen
the process of evaporation going on at
the salt works. knows that the salt goes
to the bottom. just so it is in the pan
where your mackerel or white fish lies
soaking; and, as it lays with the skin side
down, the salt will fall to the skin side
and there remain. when, if placed with
the flesh down, the sat falls to the bot
tom of the pan, and the flesh comes out
freshened as it should be- In the other
case it is nearly as salt as when putin.

How NAVAJO INDIAN DocKsD HIS

and l was ordered to survey new route
A company numbering eighty men was
detailed for the purpose, and, as the
course lay partly through wooded re-

to act as axmen. Three Or four lively
black-aud- tan terriers accompanied the
command, affording no little amusement

Next day my Navajo friend appeared
with small, black Indian fist, sporting
a long tail and ears to correspond. In
rolling this quadruped from his blanket,
he signifed desire to have the job done
without delay;so I called two workmen,

other locked his tail with an axe. This
did not suit Redskin, who refused to trust
his favorite to the tender mercies Of a
savage white man, and preferred TO per-
form the operation himself | therefore
ordered one of the men to hold tho dogs

other held his bead and fore paws All
being ready, the Indian seized an axe,
