Two steep Stories.

A late German newspaper related the fol
owing anecdote; In AN imperial city, late
ly, a criminal was condemned to be beheaI-
ed who had singular itching to play ot
nine-pins. While his sentence was being
pronounced he had the temerity to offer a
request to be permitted to play once more at
his favorite game at the place OF execution ;
and then he said he would submit without a
murmur. As the last prayer of the dyIng
man, his request was grante5. When he Al.
rived at the soernn spot he found every
thing prepared the pins Icing set up aud
the bowl being ready. lie played with no
little earnestness. But the sheriff at length
seeing that he showed no inclination to de.
sist, privately ordered the executioner IL
strike the fatal blow a. he stopped for the
bowl. The executioner did so, and the head

To Keep Frost from the Cellar.

The common practice of making an EN-.
bankment of earth or manure against the
cellar wall to keep out the winter frosts is
about as inefficient and unreliable for that
purpose as it unsightly and untidy for the
premises; in fact, such embapkments about
the farmhouse are such nuisance that
would about as soon submit to the danger
Of frost rs to see them. If they are made
of manure they are disgusting heaps about
the dwelling, or il it is an embankment of
earth thrown up, it is sure to break up and
spoil the nice grass turf of the lawn,
which should be kept the best there of any,
where. Another argument against bank
ing up the cellar. is that it is not nearly as
cheap in the long run, or nearly as effective
as the following pan which have prac-
ticed with complete success. In looking 10
see how the frost gets into the cellar, one
will find it il driven in by wird through
c, acks in the walls more than by the frost
penetrating the wall, SO that u thin wall
made air tight is more efficient than any
amount of material, IL tue air can penetrae
it. Aud to leara whether there is danger
of the cellar freezing, one has only to 20 on
a windy night with lighted candle, hold
ing it along the inside of the cellar wall to
see il the wind blows in enough anywhere
TO fare the light If it does it will drive in
the frost on a cold, windy day. and nearly
all cellars " i'll be found 10 be more airy in
this way than the proprietor had been aware
| of
Now, as Keeping out the wind Will, in
most casee, keep out tho frost, do that
most efectually by putting on good coat
of mortar. pastering over completely the
inside face of the wall, smooth work, and
have it put Oh well up the sides ofthe sills,
all around, 50 as to be sure and exclude the
air from coming under them. Then by
pointing up the outside face of the wall..a
little if it needs, the cellar will be found to
be neprly frost proof This should be done
at least one Or two years after it is newly
built, after the season cracks are opened
then the work will be most efectual. The
best time to do the job is generally early ir
the summer, when the cellar is empty. Their
clear every thing from the walls, and brush
them off with an old broom. Mix up Q
COOL bed of mortar on the cellar bottom i
there is room, and after letting stand few
days 10 make, mason can slap it on aEt
spread it on the walls in short space o
time. making a nice job, and one more Ell
fective than any plan of banking.

Outrage by Brigands in Sicily.

Two gentlemen, the members of nm old es-
teblshed and wealthy house in Palermo,
left that city by an early morning train to
visit their sulphur mines in the neisnhor-
hood. On alightng at the country station
one of them mounted his horse in order to
ride with his clerk to his destination, while
the elder brother preferred to join one of
the carriages in which the other passengers
in the train, to the number Of q sozen pro-
ceeded on their journey.
As Mr.. Forester rode away on horseback
/ he met two persons splendidIy mounted, and
dressed like Siciian country gentlemen,who
saluted him and passed on. A little further
he was stopped by two other men, stsnding
with their horses in the road, who inquired
his nane and that of his attendant. The
clerk gave his own name correctly, but a
feipned name for his master Mr.. Rose,
however, was too much OF an Englishman to
endure disguise, and stated at once who he
was. His bride was Immediately seized,
and he was ordered to mount one of the
hor,es held by the two brigauds.
He had no recourse but to obey, the party
being soon joined by the well dressed coun-
try gentlemen whom he had passed earlier
on the road But though Mr.. Rose, had
no means II resistance, he made one desper-
ate effort to escape, He slid off his horse
and ran back as hard as he could to join the
carriages The brigands pursued him and
shot him as he ran but lie succeeded in
j reaching the party of carriag, travellers.
Here he naturally thought himself safe
but at this point the most extraordinary
incident in the story occurs. The brigand
chief cody rode into the midst of The party
and summoned young Rose to surrender, as
he might have summoned some criminal
who had unlawfuly escaped from his custo-
dy. Presenting double barreiled pistol al
the young man, he called on him to surren'
der at the peril of his life, and cody observ.
ed to the group of travellers: "You must moi
find fault with us. You must blame the
government, which, in so many years, has
not been able to catch us or kill U.S."
1t must be supposed the travellers were
unarmed, or they could hardly have allowed
80 audacious an outrage to pass without re
sistance. But the brigand carried his point

Curing Pork.

notice al inquiry about curing pork. so
difficult matter, provided the necessary re-
quisites are furnished-pork from young
pigs from six to ten months old, and plenty
of good salt. Cut the pork up into suitably
sized pieces, after it has lost all the animal
heat, but it should never have been allow
ed to freeze. Pack closely in clean, tight
cask, in alternate layers of pork and salt,
using from halt bushel to a whole bushel
to each barrel 900 pounds. A portion of
the salt must be reserved for the brine
| which must be boiled and skinned, and
saturated with salt. When cold pour over
the pork, taking care to provide sufficient
brine to cover the meat at least two inches
Lay heavy, fiat stone on the pork, to keep
it from floating, and the pork will keep
sweet as long as it is covered with the brine
Ordinary fine Onondaga salt is just as good
as the coarse salt, ii the same weight is use
The barrel should always have undissolved
salt in the brine
For bacon, hams and shoulders use s
pounds of salt, quart of molasses, Tor its
equivalent "a pounds OF sugar., . ounces
of saltpetre, ounce of saleratus, and
ounces of cayenne pepper to each 100
pounds of meat, trimmed. Pack as closely
as possible in ca~l;, using little of the
salt between the pieces. Boil and skim the
ingredients, and when cold pour over the
meat, adding water sufficient to cover en-
tirely. In six weeks the meat can be taken,
out, rinsed and hung up to be smoked. Some
like a few cloves and black pepper added to
the pickle. If "dry pickle" is preferred
rub the hams once daily with the above
mixture in tab, until the pickle has all
been rubbed into the meat. Hams prepar.
ed in this way never need 'freshening" be.
