A PAINFUL CONTRAST.

The changes Of the past half century
are nowhere more noticeable than in the
material from which national repre-
sentatives are selected. During the irst
sixty years of the American Republic.
the name Of Senator was co equal with
that of President in the reverence If
the popular mind. The standard in
those days was intelligence. homer and
a ripe manhood; now it is only the po-
session Of money or the influence of
wealthy corporations that lifts the ordi-
nary mortal into the Senate The true
aristocr.cy Of intellect and moral worth
is lost sight of in the false aristocrscy
of bonds, stocks and sheksls. See what
a Senator was. and what a Senator is:

PICKLE FOR BEEF AND HAMs.-I have been
requested to publish a recipe which gave i'll
these columns a few years ago for curing beef
and hams for family use. To each one hun
bred pounds of beef make pickle from eight
pounds of salt, four pounds of sugar, one-haf
ounce of saltpetre and one ounce of saleratus;
10 which add four gallons of water, or enough
to cover tho beef when packed snugly in the
barrel Boil the pickle and skim it, then al
low it to cool until about blood warm, or.even
cooler, before pouring it over the beef This
should keep the beef sweet all summer with
out getting too salt or too tough 10 be good,
hut if there are any indications of its growing
stale at any. time, take the beef ont and wash
it, scald the brine and skim it, and add one
or two pounds of salt, then pack it again.
Some may wish for little more saltpetre,
but if putting it down for my own use solely
l should prefer TO leave the saltpetre out and
add little more saleratus, rather than add
any more Ealtpetre. If making the pickle for
hams l should prefer TO use pint of molas-
SEES instead of the sugar. Let any one once
try beef or ham cured in this way and they
will be sorry 10 ever have TO return TO the old
fashioned way of curing by the use of salt
alone, which makes the best of beef in few
months seem like a well salted leather apron,
and makes the ham when boiled look as if il
was sugar coated" instead of sugar cured. y

Is there any natural or necessary antago-

the stubbonness with which some farmers

There is among the farmers an immense
amount of common sense. of native mother
wit sharpened by observation and broadened
by reflection and of the Observation-Disclosures and
sound-heartedness that come from healthful
living in close connection with Nature. But
n good many of them are very much afraid OF
what are called the refinements of society and
the amenities of social life. The farmer who
keeps n neat business suit of clothes in addi-
ton to his SUNDAY best who blacks ms
boots when he goes to town. and brushes the
hay-seed out Of his hair who encourages his
bows and girls in keeping up n style within
his means, and even has parties in the win

life like an intelligent American sovereign,
