American and English Newspapers
(Omparpd

A single copy of New York paper
gives more news than will be found III a
weeks file of the London Times. At
the time of the English expedition to
Abyssinia, the London papers were in
debted to the courtesy OF the Hcrdid
correspondent for the latest and fullest
intelligence from the field and during
the Franco German war the most inter
esting and accurate accounts of the
grand achievements of the German armies
published in the English papers We're
given in the dispatches TO the Tribtnc,
but for which the English people would
have been compelled to await the ar
rival of letters 10y post for more than
the meager Geographic announcement
of victories which involved the fate of
an empire. The English have scarcely
begun to learn the use of the telegraph
for transmitting news. They affect a
contempt for the American system, and
plume themselves on the more solid and
scholarly character of their newspapers ;
but, while this view may have been once
correct, an impartial comparison of
American and English journals of the
present day would show that, in addi-
ton 10 an amount of news which would
supply London newspapers for week,
the Leading articles, literary reviews,
and correspondence in every issue of
one of our first-class papers are as
thoughtful and as carefully considered
MS the articles which appear III the col
umns of the London Times.

Recipe for Curing Meat.

The Germantown Telegraph gives the
following directions for curing beef or
pork To one gallon of water take | J
pounds salt, pound sugar, ounce
saltpeter, } ounce potash. In this ratio
the pickle can be increased to any guam
tity desired Let these be boiled until all
the dirt from the sugar rises to the top
and is skinned off. Then throw it into
a tub to cool. and when cold pour it over
your beef or pork, to remain the usual
time, say four or five weeks The meat
must be well covered with pickle, and
should not be put down for at least two
days after killing, DURING which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with pow
dered saltpeter, which removes all the
surface blood, etc, leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling the
pickle, and find it to answer we'll though
the operation of boiling purities the
pickle by throwing off the dirt always to
be found in salt and sugar.
If this recipe is properly tried it
will not be abandoned There is none that
surpasses it, if as good.

Pumpkins for Cows.

From peck of seed dropped and
covered in the gaps of corn-feld, a
dairy of nine COWS has been kept up to
summer milking, and the quality of the
butter is super-excellent, and six heifer
calves raised from the above are fat as
mOles. The cows are fatter, too, than a
majority of the cattle slaughtered.
These COWS have been making about six
pounds of butter per week, besides sup
plying new milk and cream for gentle
mans house, with sixteen inmates. The
pumpkins are chopped up in the man
gers with n spade, morning, noon and
night, about half bushel each time,
when cut into pieces. They eat while
being MIXED, morning and night, and
they come to the yard and go into the
stable for half an hour at noon. Beets,
carrots and other roots and small ears
of corn will follow, so as to keep mp the
milk during winter. -COr. Of country

Success of Miners Relief Fund.

Shortly after the Avondale disaster,
the wOrkmen employed by the Wilkes
barre Coal and Iron Company held a
meeting and resolved to give one days
wages for the relief of the Ayondale suf-
ferers and the establishment of per-
manent benefit fund The 9th of Sep
tember, 1869, was the day fixed upon,
and the sum realized was S., 900. OF
this 81 900 were appropriated to the suf-
ferers by the AvOndale horror. The
remainder was placed in the hands of the
Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron Company, to
be held in trust and ut interest for their
wOrkmen.
Trustees are elected in each di-
vision, who report all accidents to the
President of the Company. The money
for the benefit of persons accidentally
injured, or of their families in case of
death, is drawn on the order of the
trustee and foreman of the division to
which the workmen belonged No
workman is entitled to the benefits of
this fund until he has contributed one
days wages to its capital. The recent
Unpublished report of the management
of this fund shows that from oct. l.,
1000, 10 NOV. 1, lofZ, so, Z0o.O0 were
earned by the labor of the men and the
interest on the amount in the hands of
the Wilkesbarre Company So, $50. 81
were expended in the support of dis
abled workmen, the burial of dead work
men, and the support of their widows
and orphans. The balance is 81 ,092 %.
This mode of dealing with impoverish-
ment resulting from the oft-recurring
the balance in Mr.. Parish's hands shows
that the way of increasing the fund,
viz: by the wages of one days labor per
man every year, Is very successful.

Curing Beef.

A writer il the Western RWal asks
how to cure beef. My plan is II very
simple one. ! dissolve eight pounds of
salt and four ounces of saltpeter i'll
about pail of water, by heating on the
stove. When it comes to "A scald, / add
two quarts of molasses and two pounds
of sugar After skimming carefully, |
pour the whole over the beef, and place
weights on 1T to keep it under. These
are the proportions to about 100 pounds
of meat Let this lie from four days to
two weeks. j. II. T..
Another plan: To every $50 lbs. beef,
take lbs. salt, , Oh. saltpeter, 2, lbs
brown sugar tor ] qt. molasses), ? Oh.
saleratus, and a half oz. cayenne pepper
Pack the beef "a closely as possible,
using portion Of the salt between the
LAYERS. BOIL and skim the rest in water
enough 90 cover the beef After it is
cold pour it over the beef, putting ON a
stone % keep the beef under the brine.
Beef thus cured viii keep until used.

Serious Comedy,

Children have of late years been play
ing good deal at the serious comedy
of suicide Something goes wrong with
them in the household they are pun
ished they are denied some pleasure !;
have to do, and they apply to pistol,
or a rope or Il knife, as most convenient
for relief, and that's the end of them.
Easton, Pa, furnishes the last case of
infantile suicide. Clarence Cole was
fifteen years of age when he was found
dead hanging in the loft of his fathers
house. The coroner's jury declared by
their verdict that the boy came to his
death by accident that is, he was play
ing hanging with rope round his
neck, and was accidentally hung in
earnest. The family and the neighbors
know better, The boy was required to
do the washing on Mondays and the
ironing on Saturdays, and wash dishes
and make the beds, and sweep and cook
and scrub every day between whiles
He felt his degradation to woman's
sphere and put an end to his career of
house drudge. After his last days wash
ing he carried his clothes to the garnet
and hung them up TO dry. He then cut
a piece from one of the clothes-lines
and put it over rafter and hung him
self up to die. The people who are
aware of the boys mode of life, and his
distaste for it, refuse to believe that
there was any accident about the firm
intention Of his hanging mp. Boys will
be boys, and you can't make housemaids
Of them. They have heard too many
women talk about their oppressed con
dition and mental duties TO allow them
selves TO be as degraded when there is a
rope and rnfter within reach.

be determined by the size of the build

will probably be sufficient.

want to suggest and urge that all in
terested in school matters make it point
to be present.
There are many of those who send
children to school who have never been
inside of the schoolhouse, and there is a
widespread and most lamentable indiffer-
ence as to the whole cause of education
In our community. Some complain that
their children make little progress, but If
they will visit the schools, they will be
convinced that our teachers do the best
they can under the present circum.
stances. l do not wish now to speak Of
the needed changes, but am sure that
those who come to the meeting, hear
what Mr.. Egbert has to say, and consider
the facts Mr.. Wilmarth can give them
will need no further argument as to the
necessity of doing something. B.
