-PlacerUille Democrat 1911 atlt.
III the appropriate column ofoar
issue Of September 1914, appeared
this notice.:
"DIEp-Ip this city, September 10,
1875 Iliram Bacon, native ~ Maine,
aged G5 ears"
Mr.. Bacon died III he county
hospital, whittier he III 4 been
brought in a dying condition, from
LogtoWn, where he had for several
years lived confirmed and hope
less invalid, and an almoner of an
old friend Of former and more
prosperous years. 70 his name
romance attaches, which recent
events have recalled. In "the ear
ly days Of Washoe," Hiram Bacon
wa one Of the Kings OF the Com
stock" He it was who gave its
name 10 the Bacon mine he own
ed hall Of the Belcher aud large
amount of other valuable mining
property. In the zenith of his
prosperity he met, became facina-
ted with and married a brilliant
and ambitious chit of girl, Of
whom he became excessively fond
and dotingly INDUCED. On one
occasion he bought and presented
to her set of diamonds which cost
$4,000. These and other eviden-
ces Of his uxorious fondness she
greedily grasped and boarded.
After a while came reverses, then
disease, then poverty. Then the
petted young wife turned the be-
witched old husband out upon the
cold charity OF the world. Suisse
quently a male friend distracted
and pawned her fine diamonds, and
she was forced to summon her old
husband from his humble retreat
in this county to identify her jew
els and effect their restitution. At
ter this the old mans affairs went
on from bad to worse, Hutil at last,
rs above stated, he died pauper
in the county hospital.
But 1t seems that through all
these years she, or some one for
her, has been keeping up Two poll
icies of insurance of $4,000 each,
on the old mans life. Last week
she came up to the vicinity of the
old pauper's grave to prove up the
facts which will enable her to col
lect the 500, 900 of insurance on bis
life. Her first application was to
DIR. Cooke, County Physician, but
Bacon had died without his adj
ministering to him, and he decsin-
ed to make any affidavit in the
premises. She then fell back on
DIR. Lohman, who had attended on
Bacon while at Logtown, and DIR.
Lohman made the coveted attida-
Wit, which was supplemented by
one from the hospital Steward in
the role of sexton, and the bereav-
ed (?l widow, with never so much
as glance toward the grave Of The
buried pauper, sped hayward with
her policies and proofs.

The Care Of Infants.

Infants are sometimes very
restless at night, and it is gener-
ally owing either to examining
them with a heavy supper, tight
night-clOthes, or being overhead
ed by too many blankets. 1t may
result from putting them to sleep
too early. They should be kept
awake until the family are going
to rest and the house free from
noise. Undressing and bathing
will weary and dispose them for
sleep, and the universal stiffness
will promote 1t. This habit, and
all others depend on the course
pursued at first. Accustom them
to regular hours. If they have "a
good sleep in the forenoon and af-
ternoon it will be easy to keep
them awake during the evening
IL is right to offer them drink on
going to bed, when young infants,
and more solid, though simple
food. after they are two or three
months old; but they should never
be forced to receive it. Never let
anything but the prescription of a
physician, ia sickness, tempt the
nurse to give them wine, spirits,
or any drug to make them sleep
Mix and water, whey or thin
Cruel is the only fit liquor for lit
tie ones, even when they can run
about. The more simple and
light their food and drink, the
more they will thrive.

Ara Elegant Costume for -
Mourning Bride.

The Hartford Times thus lis-
cFibes a very elegant costume
made for wedding in an adioin-
town:
It is made Of rich Lyons vel
vet, It'd the Princess style. The
lady being III mourning, agti The
fabric rich and heavy, tho dress
does not require So much putting
and bouncing as if ID was a more
airy texture. II has a very long
train, made in the forTn of wat
teau plait. This Is trimmed with
large bows of velvet, lined with
heavy white gros grain. A wide
folded scarf Of velvet commences
high on the right side and is drau-
cd diagonally across the front,
ending under the lower bow on
the train.
The sash is also lined with
white, just enough of which shows
to relieve the sombre hue of the
dress. The aeek and sleeves are
finished with a new style of vel
vet plating, edged with delicate
white crepe lisse. The c0rsage is
lined with Cheney's best white lu-
tertring. The skirt is faced with
white gres grain and finished with
a ruching Of white taffita ribbon.
The ornaments to be- worn with
this dress are solitaire diamond
necklace and pendant cross, with
, solitaire earrings, and hair dressed
with white feathers and dia-
nonnfiS.

party wins We shall get there by
the adoption of appropriate meas
ures and if those measures are wise,
without disaster or shock. And If
the rag baby party win we shall
get there as France did about the

CraniIning Condo na ned.

AT the teachers Institute in
Reading the other afternoon, Su-
perintendent Severn delivered an
interesting address on the subject
of " Arithmetic" He objected to
the iI1mense amount of matter in
the books that was not actually
Arithmetic, and ridiculed the idea
that teacher could properly get
through with AGO pages in a GER
tain limited specified time. Super
intendent Severn made a great
point in cOndemning the cram
ming system. He made positive
objection to it, and suggested quail
ity rather than quantity. His re-
marks were satisfactory through
out, and undoubtedly had a very
satisfactory effect.

SUGAR CURED HAMS

a good receipt is 10 rub The hams
with hne salt ard sugar and lay them
10 q dry place. Alter Eve or six days
RIB AZ 10, pntting on some new salt, as
the Old becomes dry and does not pen
citrate. Atihe ead OF eight 81 niae

only at the 6rst rubbing Keep the
salt on them uHtl the shaaks LOOK

wbeu this is the appearance the bans

ADaANGING FURNITURE 70 Lo9E WILL.
10 arranging furniture about room
bear 10 mind that it is not necessary to
push every article primly out to the
sides, SO that sofas aud chairs look as if
they were glued to the wall. Pull them
out; put a sofa across one corner; stand
the big easy chair 10 the ligkt, with a
little table close by, handy for sewing
or books; leave chair or two in front
Of the sofa; and in general so dispose Of
the articles that the room shall not APP
pear as fits owners never enter it save
on ceremonial occasions. Whether q
room is pleasing and coy or not does
not depend upon the elegance or cost
illness Of its fittings. The simplest fur
niture, if tastefally arranged as regards
color and position, orten looks better
than the handsomest products of the
cabinet makers skill.
HINTS no HoUsEKEEPERs.
In making purchases, remember that
good article, although the first cost
may be more,is usually found the cheap
est in the end--and that poor food is
dear at any price.
Perhaps there are no articles of con-
sumption more generally adulterated
than flour, meal, etc., and on this ac-
count failure and dissatisfaction oft at
tend the best efforts of cookery From
long experience we find that the State
brands are good and reliable, and now
use them exclusively.
Be punctual and orderly. Have
place for all things, and after using re-
turn each article to its proper place.
Keep all cooking utensils scrupulous-
ly clean.
Throw away nothing that can pro-
itably be made uee of.
no COOK A HUSBAND.
Many good husbands are spoiled in
the cooking. Some women appear to
| think husbands are bladders and there
fore to be blown up; others keep them
constantly in hot water; some freeze
them by cenjugal GOODNESS; some cover
them with brine of jealously; some
keep them always in pickle. All these
serve them up with tongue sauce.
Husbands are alwnys sour, or bitter, or
tough, when cooked 10 this manner.
The following recipe is warranted to
render them sweet and tender Put
Your husband in the jar of faithfulness;
place it near the fire of coujugal love;
keep the fire bright and clear and the
heat constant; cover him with affection
and Difference, spiced with cheerfulness;
add k'oses morning and evening; serve
warm with truthfulness. II husbands
cooked in this way are net good, they
are of the hard-shell variety and should
be thrown away. Exchange.
