The desperate wickedness aud
atrocious immortality of pleasure
taking, even of the most innocent
sort, has been affirmed by a Massa-
chusetts court in a fashion that
shows how the blue-law code vet
permestes the Jurisprudence of
that State. The case was that of a
Jew, arrested for fishing ON Sun.
day. He pleaded that Saturday
was the Jewish Sabbath, and proved
that he religiously observed it, and
therefore claimed an acquittal I'M
der the provisions of the statute.
which exempt from its penalty
those who observe the seventh day
instead Of the Christian Sabbath.
Thereon the Court p~onderously
ruled to the effect, that if the ac-
cuSed were a fisherman, he might
lawfully fish every Sunday in the
year, and make all the money he
could at it. But, if he angled for
amusement, he was guilty of a
criminal offense ; and, as that was
what he had done, a fine was i'm
posed upon him, which would
doubtless impress upon him the
awful guilt of amusing himself on
Sunday, which isn't his Sunday.

HOW to Cook a Ham.

stream the live-long night. AT the first
glmmering of the dawn on the following
morning it was reVerently lifted from

Immediately thereafter it was placed in
fa large pot filled, not with water lumui-
tuousIy oiling, but simmering gently 4,
and there II was tenderly watched Tor

wiped again, placed in ii smaller pot,
and six bottles ot sparkling Newark ci-

body, meaning thereby that, to make

from hogs which, for the greater period

now let us come to the philosophy OF the
I modus operandi The running water
was to take out the surplus salt and
suILen the meat; the ham was simmered
because no culinary artist ever boils
,anything edible; the ham was wiped and
,craped because it was to be served as
all old hams should be, cold and in its
Jacket; it was simmered in cider, be-
cause the malic and the carbonic acids
added delicious piquancy to the flavor
and, finally, it was plunged seething hol
