To PRESERVE HAMs.-When first
butchered rub the hams and shoulders
with salt and let them lie 36 hours.
Then covered with brine for six weeks
longer will not hurt them. Then re-
move them from the brine, insert a
strong string in the large end and hang
them up in the smoke-house hook end
downward. By this means tenderness
and flavor are given to portion of the
ham often thrown away. Smoke with
green hickory chips, and when they are
sufficiently smoked and dried, wrap
them each in large sheet of brown
paper and put in a loose bag of brown
domestic. Tie up the mouth of the bag
carefully, leaving out the string by
which it was hung up, aud return to the
hook in the smoke-house or any other
safe convenient place. Hams thus
treated will keep for years. So says a
large pork-raiser of Indiana whose hams
command the highest price in the
markets

How TO INSERT SCREWS IN PLASTER
WALLs.-It is often desirable to insert
screws in plastered walls, without at
taching them to any woodwork, but
when we turn them in, the plaster gives
way and our effort is vain. And yet a
screw may be inserted in plaster so as
to hold light pictures, ETC., very firmly.
The best plan is to enlarge the hole to
about twice the diameter of the screw W
moisten the edges of the hole thoroughly
with water, and fill it with plaster of
Paris, such as is used for fastening the
tops of lamps, etc., and bed the scerw
in the soft plaster. When the plaster
has set, the screw will be held very
strongly.

NEW TREATMENT FOR CoNsUMTIvEs.-
DR.. William Koch, of Birlin, well
known to specialities from his investi-
cations in the domain of modern sur
gerry, and from his treaties of gunshot
fractures, has discovered new method
of treatment for consumption. 1t con-
sists in healing up the affected portions
of the lungs by injections of iodine, so
as to check the progress of fostering,
which is the origin of the disease.
This treatment has been tested in the
great hospitals of Berlin within short
time, among others at the Royal Charity,
in the presence of the most eminent sur
geons. All the reports of the cases in
which this treatment has been admin
istered are favorable, and hold out a
promise of complete cure. For many
years DR.. Koch has been trying the
experiment with animals, having tested
it with more than three hundred at a
vast outlay of time and money.

To RESTORE Color TO FABRICS
When color on a fabric has been acci-
dentally or otherwise destroyed by acid,
ammonia is applied to neutralize the
same, after which an application of
chloroform will, in almost all cases, re-
store the original color. The applica-
ton of ammonia is common, but that of
chloroform is little known. Chloroform
will also remove paint from garment
or elsewhere, when benzole or bisul-
phide of carbon fails.

ABOUT RINGBoSE.- Ringbone is rarely
cured except in very young horses, and
where the trouble is of recent date, as
it consists in change of cartilaginous
portion of the foot into bone, or of an
excess of bony growth from the bone
itself. The only treatment is by bis
tering, and sometimes by an operation
known as firing" both of them, es-
pecially the latter, very dangerous re-
medies in the hands of any but an ex-
pert. Probably the best thing to be
done in this case will be to reduce the
heat or inflammation by cold water
applications, or bandages when it is
possible, with plenty of rest. In this
way lameness may disappear, although
the enlarged ring of bony matter re-
mains. The difficulty is very often due
to constitutional or hereditary weak
ness of the parts concerned, along with
overwork.

TEA.-A small quantity of Prussian
blue mixed with gypsum and indigo is
used to give much of the green tea sold
in our stores its color. Sometimes this
is produced by drying it on copper. The
Chinese and the Californians who un-
derstand these things invariably use
black tea, never the green, which they
regard as poisonous. The green tea
which owes its color to the rapidity
with which it is dried, or to the COM
parative youth of the leaves, is very
rarely imported to this country. Tea
tasters use only water which has been
newly boiled and not boiled too hastily.
The water should come, if possible,
from running stream that from hill
springs is best, river water is next best,
and well water is the worst. The infu-
sion should not stand more than five or
ten minutes before it is served. The
perceptible effect of full doses of tea
are: O A sense of wakefulness. (2l

The NEW GEYsER BAsrN.-That a new
and most important geyser basin has
been discovered in Eastern Montana,
seems now unquestionable. It was
visited last fall by the well known
mountaineers Jack Baronett, John
Dunn and John Allen. 1t is represented
as much more extensive than any of the
already explored basins, and to contain
geysers of much greater force and vol
ume than any yet described by tourists.
One of these newly discovered geysers
is estimated to throw a volume Of water
forty feet in diameter over five hundred
feet high, and to continue in eruption
from ten to fifteen minutes. 1t is also
reported that in this newly discovered
basin there are mud volcanoes" far
surprising in volume and eruptive force
those on the Upper Yellowstone. This
unexplored spot of the most wonderful
of all our natural wonders is about
twenty-five miles southeast of the sum-
NIT of Mount Washburn, from which
point the greater geysers, when in ac-
ton, when the air is clear, are visible to
the naked eye.-AUdnt Courier.

DURING the Middle Ages tenant
farmers in Scotland were liable for the
debts of their feudal lords, and all that
they possessed might be taken away.
The teams in those days consisted of
four to six yoke of oxen and cows; the
plows were heavy and made of wood,
and five or six men were required to
run the establishment. The cattle
pulled in harness made of straw, but
the tugs were of rope. In narrowing,
the implement was fastened to the tail
of horse, which was led by the men.
The sickle, used in cutting the grain,
seemed to have been something like a
drawing knife, having two handles, and
the crop was gathered at leisure, almost
always by the hands of men aad women,
wheeled vehicles being unknown. Some
times harvesting was finished after snow
fell.

FROZEN PoTAroEs.-If any man is for
tunate enough, after having his potatoes
frozen up in the ground, to have them
thaw out in the Spring, and remain
sound, he need not lose them entirely,
for they will do to plant or make starch.
A farmer plowed out his crop, and the
next Spring, when plowing over the
same ground, turned ont a great many
tubers that were missed in the Fall.
He picked up pailful, and made a
pound of starch out of them. He tried
the experiment of cooking a few, but
they were not eatable. They had a
hard, CLASSY appearance. Those left in
the ground grew.

NORWEGIAN ANTIQUITIEs.-Ata recent
meeting of the California Academy of
Sciences. an interesting translation was
read from the reports of the Society for
the Preservation of the Norwegian An
tiquities. 1t described the excavation
of an ancient vessel, of the Viking
period, found in the parish of Tame,
Norway. 1t was the custom of the
Vikings to convert one of their vessels
into sarcophagus, on the death of a
great warrior. The vessel was conveyed
inland, the remains of the hero depos-
tied in the hull, with his armor, wea-
pons, the bones of his war chargers,
and the whole covered with earth.
These tumuli have been discovered and
e1cavated in various parts of Norway,
and the peculiarities of ancient marine
architecture exposed for inspection.

THE EUCALYPTUS. - The following
notes on the eucalyptus tree we find in
the American Chemist. There are
some thirty species of eucalyptus. They
are natives of Australia, and were intro
duced by Ramel in 1856 into other lands
in Europe, Asia, Africa. and America.
The tree is of very rapid growth, attain
ing often height of from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred feet in fifty
years, and q diameter of fifteen feet or
more. The wood is said to be excellent
for ship-building and railroad ties.
Some species of eucalyptus produce
resins, others oils, which have an indus
trial and therapeutic value. The foliage
is beautiful, so that the tree is orna-
mental as well as useful. The leaves of
some species contain cavities filled with
an aromatic, ethereal, and very pene-
traffic oil, which is believed to have a
powerful influence in counteracting the
effect of malarial exhalations and pre-
venting fevers. Districts in Algeria
where fevers prevailed before the intro
duction of the eucalyptus have suffered
but little since. The ash of these trees
is very rich in potash, containing some
twenty-one per cent, quantity more
than double that found in the elm or
maple.
